Where does the time go?

Oh Wow! I just realized how long it's been since I last posted. Well, I've finished Best of Intentions and another novella entitled 'Seducing Sophie'. I'm getting ready to go back to my 'real life' job tomorrow after 6 months of seasonal layoff. It will be a bit of a transition and it does mean less time writing, but it will be nice to have a steady paycheck once again. I blog nearly daily on my wordpress blog, so if you want to find out more info, pop over to www.michellecary.wordpress.com and check out my blog there.

Happy Valentine's Day

Progress Report - Best of Intentions

Beta Reader Needed

How would you like to get to read a story for free? Okay, so maybe it's not without strings, but it won't cost you any money. Currently, I'm working on a rewrite for a story contracted to e-publisher Loose ID. Here's my problem, since this is a rewrite, I'm not sure if things work as I see them. That's where you come in. Agree to read my story and give me feedback on what worked and didn't and I'll not only send it to you for free, but I'll send you a free copy of my next release. Here's the thing. You need to be a fan of romance (erotic romance specifically) and know the ins and outs of the genre. Now, I'm not looking for somebody who's going to stroke my ego and tell me how wonderful I am. My editor isn't going to baby me and I don't expect you do either. So if you're still interested and want more info drop me a line at michelle.cary@yahoo.com and include the words Beta Reader in the subject line.

Guest Bloggers Needed...

So in two weeks my husband and I will be packing up the kiddos and heading West for our childhood homes and all of our families for Christmas. My mother, being the stubborn pain she is just now bought a computer. No lie she went out on black friday and bought one and she promises she'll have internet by the time we get there, but I know her and I'm holding my breath. So, because I'll probably be reduced to using the library's public computers to check my e-mail for the entire week I'm there, I'm making a call now for people to help me out and guest blog for a day on my wordpress blog. If you're interested please leave a message in the comments and I'll get right back to you with the details. Oh and if you ever need the favor returned, just let me know!

Ever have one of those days?

Doing the Happy Dance...well sort of!

I twisted my ankle over the weekend and am temporarily crippled *rolls eyes* so, mentally I'm doing the happy dance because also during the weekend I received conformation that the story idea my fellow critique partner Anne Douglas (www.annedouglas.blogspot.com) pitched to her publisher was accepted. I, Anne and fellow writer Amanda Young (www.amandayoung.org) have been contracted to each write a book in a series for Valentine's Day 2008. The stories, tentatively titled 'Husbands and Wives'- 'Husbands and Wives and Lovers' and 'Husbands and Husbands' are about what happens after the happily ever after. Can love survive once the newness has worn away and 'real life' takes hold. Stop by over at Loose Id and find out for yourself.
