This is the last of my author thirteens. I want to thank all the authors who stopped by the Block this summer to visit and share pictures and bios. I hope you all found some new authors to check out and new books to read. This week I didn’t have enough authors to fill out the thirteen, so some of my guys agreed to hang out and keep these wonderful women company…
1. Pam Champagne
Pam Champagne writes in a variety of genres, all spicy to hot. She lives in Maine with her husband, two dogs and two cats. She’s led a colorful life and incorporates her experiences into her stories.
2. Shelia Goss
Sheila is the national best-selling author of His Invisible Wife (July 2009), My Invisible Husband, Roses are thorns, Paige’s Web, Double Platinum and the three book teen series: The Lip Gloss Chronicles.
3. The guys and I don’t hang around the block alllll the time. We do take time for a little play…
4. Cris Anson
Cris writes really HOT contemporary stories about strong women and the sexy men who interrupt their lives. Her DANCE series for Ellora’s Cave keeps racking up 5-star reviews.
5. I just love my guys. Here’s one of them helping me do some brainstorming on a particularly difficult plot line …
6. Kelly Fitzpatrick
Kelly Fitzpatrick is a 2009 Golden Heart finalist and winner of the 2008 Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense, Mainstream catagory for her manuscript Pleasant Lake P.D. Writing for four years, she has recently contracted with Cerridwen for her 2008 Golden Rose contest winner in the Romantic Mystery Suspense category, Lily in Wonderland, due out as an eBook in the fall of 2009.
7. I’m doing a little research for a new book and I’m looking at setting it in the west. How nice of him to do the whole “cowboy” routine for a little inspiration …
8. Katriena Knights
Katriena has been writing since before she could read, and as a result has a difficult time differentiating between reality and fantasy. This makes her remarkably amusing at parties. Her latest paperback is My Cyber Valentine, the story of a boy, a girl, the Internet and a ferret.
9. Just some quiet time in the pool house in between scenes …
10. Francesca Hawley
Francesca is a single forty-something lady who lives in central Iowa. She works as a librarian by day and writes erotic romance by night. Her Ellora’s Cave release, Protect and Defend, received a 4 1/2 star rating from Romantic Times Magazine and is available in both electronic and print formats. Her second EC e-book, Seeking Truth released in May 2009.
11. Here’s one of the guys trying to cool off during the dog days of summer. I don’t know about you, but it sure isn’t cooling me off any …
12. Marcia James
Marcia writes hot, humorous romances and finaled in 11 contests before selling her comic romantic suspense, At Her Command, to Cerridwen Press. In June 2009, her short story, “Rescue Me”, appeared in Tails of Love, a Berkley benefit anthology. Marcia is an advertising copywriter/PR consultant, and she presents author promotion workshops.
13. I don’t mean to work the guys so hard, but sometimes when I’m trying to find inspiration for writing I just plum tucker them out. Poor baby …
Wow, Nina! Thanks for featuring me on your blog, as well as treating me to some serious eye candy this morning! Although I have to admit it’s unusual to find my PR photo sandwiched between a poster child for self-gratification and Mr. Tight Buns 2009! ;-D I will definitely share your blog link with my friends!
– Marcia James
Nina, thanks for the shout out. It’s great sharing the spotlight with the rest of the Thursday Thirteen.
Lol Marcia–I feel the same way. I’ve already shared the link.
Marcia – I do what I can to treat my visiting authors to new experiences. *vbg*
Shelia – Very happy to have you visiting.
Nina,
I’ve never been surrounded by so much raw talent and…and…perfectly toned male flesh. I’m going to stay here all day.
Kelly
Hi! {waving to Nina and my fellow Thursday Thirteen authors!} I’m very happy to be here and part of such esteemed company!
– Marcia
LOL!!! I love it! Marcia you are sandwiched!!!
Kelly – I’m so happy to have you. And the guys are all too happy to be hanging out for the day.
Marcia – You know the cabana boys are offering massages for overworked authors. Just head right over to the pool house.
Tonya – And she looks so cute there doesn’t she? Thanks for stopping over.
Wow, I wasn’t expecting all the naked men… Good thing the boss isn’t hanging over my shoulder!
Thanks for the shout-out, Nina, and congrats to everybody on today’s list. It’s good to be surrounded by so much talent. And nakedness.
Great list of authors and some totally hot hunks!
*hugs*
Paige
My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
Thanks to Kelly for pointing me over here. Whew! *fanning self* Lots of nice eye candy and general male scrumptiousness.
Leave a comment, she says. Right. As soon as my heart rate drops. Kelly, my dear, you’re gonna give this old gal palpitations if you keep hanging around with so much “YUM.”
Katriena – LOL! I should have had a work warning on the blog … I keep forgetting. Glad you could hang out today.
Paige – Happy T13! I loved your turtles.
Marie Nicole – Glad you could stop over. I’m glad you enjoyed the eye candy!
Gwynlyn – We have some oxygen in the pool house … feel free to follow one of the guys over there for a little bit.
Thanks Nina for having me on your blog and sharing the beefcake with my pals. You always have the very best candy to share.
Wow! Just, wow! You sandwiched me in between two of the most gorgeous hunks. Wait, I think I’m changing into a Cougar!
Seriously, Nina, thanks for including me in your very special end-of-summer Thursday Thirteen.
Hugs,
Cris
P.S. I have photos of some hunks on my Myspace site, but you’ll have to put up with looking at me as well, since I’m hanging onto, er, standing next to some gorgeous Ellora’s Cavemen. http://www.myspace.com/crisanson
Kelly – Thanks for sending so many of your friends over to visit. I seem to have guys hanging around all the time. Come back and visit anytime!
Cris – Aren’t they the best! Being a cougar is just too darn fun. And congrats on the newest release. Here’s wishing you many happy sales.
Woo woo, Nina–thanks for spotlighting that hot cowboy…uh…I mean Kelly Fitzpatrcik. And thanks, Kelly, for steering me over here. Like Marie-Nicle, I’m still fanning myself.
Annie – I’m glad you found your way over here. I do try to please.
(You might want to rest up in the pool house before moving along … I wouldn’t want you to walk away while you were lightheaded. *g*)
YIKES! I could stay here and FEAST all day! Tongue stuck to screen. No work done.
What a Friday that would be.
THX for these and the TGIF eye candy!
CIAO!
