Today's Twit-Bits

I spent the weekend reading, and finished the latest installment in the “Love at Stake” series from Kerrelyn Sparks – “The Vampire and the Virgin”. Such an awesome book – LOVED it!! It was an easy, kinda silly read (and boy did the romance happen hard and fast), but I latched onto the characters anyway. So good!

While I work (and am unable to read) I’ve decided to spend my breaks watching the Twitter stream…

• Shiloh Walker tempts us with a long-ish excerpt (from her book Veil of Shadows). Check it out on her blog.
• Rachel Vincent informs us that “My Soul to Keep (Soul Screamers, Book 3)” is shipping and may already be in some stores!
• Christina Dodd announces the title of her upcoming Historical romance novel (April 2011) – “Taken By The Prince”
• Melissa Marr has blogged a deleted scene from “Radiant Shadows“
• Katie MacAlister is working on “Baltic 2”
• Ellen Schreiber will be at a book signing in Cincinatti Ohio (May 18th, 7pm)
• Delilah Devlin hosting a contest to win a signed copy of “Tempted By A Cowboy“
• Richelle Mead will be signing at the University Bookstore tomorrow at 7pm (in Seattle)
• Not author related, but apparently an interview on MTV’s website where Nina Dobrev (of Vampire Diaries TV show) reveals “Method Behind Finale Kiss with Ian Somerhalder“…ummm..does there need to be a method? LOL! Come on – have you seen him? It can’t be that complicated – sheesh! (thanks to Gabrielle Faust for the link)
• Laurell K Hamilton tweeted: “How long can it take to get one man’s shirt off? That would be Jean-Claude. I’m having a guy moment enough foreplay off with clothes. LOL”

More to follow as I find more cool tweets… read more

Back from yet another exhausting (but still interesting) business trip…and I’m gearing up to host an exciting and fun author, Gayle Ann Williams. Yup! It’s true! She will be here tomorrow, answering questions and comments, about her latest book (Tsunami Blue). She will also be giving away cool stuff (including books!) and of course, I am still giving away bookmarks/collector card sets 🙂

In the meantime, I’m catching up with author tweets!

• JR Ward is the guest author and giving away 3 signed copies of “Lover Mine: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood” at BordersBlog!
• Laurell K Hamilton is building her playlist for a book she is working on…her choices so far? Chevelle & Disturbed, Sick Puppies (excellent choices!). She says that she is editing two chapters from Bullet that will actually appear in the next Anita Blake novel coming out in 2011.
• Authors on their way to the Romantic Times Convention (LUCKY!!): Toni Blake (her party dresses are packed), Richelle Mead, Anya Bast (she will try to tweet!), Jackie Kessler (at the airport! and will be giving away ARCS of “Hunger“), Dakota Cassidy, Rachel Vincent (has a four hour layover – ugh hate those!!), Mark Henry, Lauren Dane (wondering if she is at the right gate)
