This made me laugh this morning and since it is that time of year when everyone is out frantically holiday shopping, I thought I’d pass along this helpful guide for buying toys for the kids on your list. Enjoy!

Authors Helping Authors
After participating in my S.I.A. author interview feature, my fellow member of the Kinky Canadian Romance Authors group, Marysol James, asked me to participate in an interview on her blog. Authors helping authors. It’s a great thing. Thanks, Marysol.

Ok, ok, stop shooting! I know, those were my goals not long ago, and they are traditionally equated to striking gold and really “making it” as an author. And yes, winning a Pulitzer, perhaps, can make a difference. Or, you know, landing a million-dollar deal which gets you a ton of publicity.

And Nash… well hello. Now there’s someone I want to wake up next…

So I fully admit to stalking my book on the various online retailers. I’m sure the novelty will wear off eventually, but in the meantime, I love seeing reviews like this one on Kobo.
