Announcements, awards, and other fun things

Hi everyone!! It's a holiday week (at least in the States) and I hope people have fun plans :) I'm looking forward to fireworks and hopefully some barbecue. And some nice summer weather! Plus, I started a very fun new project this last weekend so I hope to get some good words in there.

And, the first round of major revisions on book #4 are finished!!! Which is awesome. And I'm sending it to betas! Woot woot! (If you're up for a read of something--basically a "does this make sense and what massive plot holes have I totally overlooked?" let me know, m'k? I'll love ya forever!)

What I'm officially doing now.

Also, I was tagged in two fun memes this past week! Thanks to the lovely Crystal Collier for tagging me in Versatile Blogger meme. I'm supposed to write out a bunch of random stuff about me....but I've done that before, so if you're curious and missed it the first time, check here :)

And if that's not fun enough, the awesome Rachel Schieffelbein tagged me in the Lucky Seven meme. Here's how it works: I have to turn to page 7 or 77 of my current work in progress, count down to the 7th line, and print the next 7 lines. Fun, right? Here's a bit from book #4 (which seriously needs a title):

Because being a Sary meant pretending I didn’t matter. For the past fifty years I’ve been a nobody. A shadow in other’s lives. With nothing for myself.

And I’m tired of it.

So the chance to change things? Hell yes, I took it.

“Are you sure you’re up for this?” Leon asked, his head cocked to the side as he watched me closely.

I nodded quickly, hoping that he didn’t catch on to my little space-out. I have to make sure he knows I’m with him 100%. Not that there’s any turning back now.

Hmm, hope that sounds a little fun. And as for tagging other authors...can I just say that I am *horrible* at doing that? Let me know if you'd like to be tagged in either of these and I'm MORE than happy to add your name here!!!

Okay, last fun this for today: Faith Sullivan is one of the most awesome and talented authors in the New Adult scene and one of her amazing male characters is the the New Adult Crush Tournament this Thursday. I'm here to tell ya that you really need to vote for Eric! There's a million different reasons WHY, but suffice it to say that he's just downright awesome. So be sure to check out the post on Thursday here, and vote vote vote!!!
