Free Read!

First, let me wish everyone a Happy Halloween. Our neighborhood was overrun with kids this evening. They were cute... for the most part. Some of them asked for more candy after I'd already given them some. (raised eyebrow) Uh, no. LOL We even had one kid ring our doorbell after we'd turned out the porch lights. Well, I guess you have to try.

So, what's this all about a free read? I wrote this back in 2001. When I heard that Coffee Time Romance does free reads, I thought, "Why not?" This is a sweet story. It's a short story, 6400 words or so, but fun. A sexy vampire and love... what more could one ask for? Okay. Sex. No sex, but it's still a fun story.

Cali,

I can't access your blog. For whatever reason, every time I've tried, regardless of my browser, the progress bar spins and spins then the entire browser window shuts down. I just wanted you to know that I am not ignoring you, just unable to access your material.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween. It only comes once a year. :) I love Halloween. Hopefully, this will inspire my muse to write again. She's been hiding.

Okay. Someone wants some attention. Mmmm... that feels good. (grin) I think I'll go and play with my honey.

Absentee and apology.

I apologize to everyone for being so absent lately. Sometimes things happen in life that take away time from others. This has been happening with me.

My 'fiance' and I have been going through a tough time lately. Our decision not to marry hit both of us harder than we thought. We've been together now for 10 years. As neither of us have the itch for children, marriage wasn't a big push for us. I didn't realize just how much postponing our marriage affected me. And because I was trying to stuff all those emotions, I exploded like a volcano a few weeks back. That's when it came out that he wasn't happy with the postponement or the possibility of no wedding. He wanted to marry me as much as I wanted to marry him.

All this translated into no blogging. I am the disappear-into-a-cave-with-no-talking-to-anyone type of person when something really bothers me. I have to work through it before I can share. And sometimes, I won't share because I am a pretty private person. Oh, I have a few good friends I might tell, but other than that, it's not something I will do until it's all over. And you, my loyal readers, are lucky because very few people know about this at all. I can count them on one hand, not including my fiance, of course.

So, all is good with the world. The wedding is back on. We are happy. The wedding is scaled back. We'll have it in our backyard in a few weeks.

As for pics, we'll see. My fiance is not too keen on having his pic shared with the world. LOL

Something exciting that has happened that I've been dying to share but couldn't until now is that Freya's Bower is going to be releasing a charity anthology (you can read about it here) to benefit a battered woman's shelter. I was invited to have one of my stories included in it. Wow! There are some really talented authors participating. That I was invited flattered me immensely. The anthology comes out February 1, 2007. My tale is titled Secret Valentines. Woot!

Okay. Time to get off here. I do have work to do. :)

I'll stop by some time to day and visit some of my favorite people. :)
