I was approached with an opportunity a few days ago that I could not turn down. Cover model and actor Michael Elan has founded a non-profit organization called It’s Meow or Never,
a rescue and sanctuary for animals. Blade will be supporting Michael’s
organization through a series we have named, “PAWS For Thought.”
Michael is thrilled with the project and will be gracing our debut
covers.
PAWS For Thought Submission Call Do you find it hard to resist a man or woman who loves animals? If so then keep reading.
We are looking for stories where the hero or heroine is some how involved in the daily care or rescue of animals. We
are open to any story ideas, from a fireman whose popularity exceeds no
other when it comes to cat rescue, to a vet who takes care of
un-identified paranormal creatures.
There
is no requirement of heat level nor does there have to be a happily
ever after. If you write young adult and have a story in mind then we
would love to read it. Young Adult acceptances will go on our sister
site, Midnight Press, which is currently under development.
Stories should be between 30,000 and 35,000 words.
The
first PAWS For Thought novels will be published in the first part of
2009, so in order to be considered for one of the debut releases,
submissions should be received no later than November 1, 2008. Once
royalties are paid the remainder will go to charity, unless of course
the author chooses to donate his/her royalty as well. That will be up
to the individual authors.
We are very excited about this new charity project and working with Michael to create a safe haven for the animals they rescue.

Here are the books we will be publishing for our Christmas “Under the Mistletoe” series.
While I had this big marketing idea planned, I was hoping to be able
to release 12 books. Well, things don’t always work out like you plan
so things change. We received only 6 christmas submissions and out of
those 6 only 3 are going to be published.
*Drumroll*
Her Knight Before Christmas by Debora Dennis - A well crafted
time-travel romance and with Debora’s quick wit she once again had me
laughing out loud. And it had everything to do with the size of his
sword. LOL
Christmas for the Cowboy by Patricia Bates - I can’t think of
anything more hot than a cowboy, tight jeans, body oil, an auction, a
hotel, and a weekend in bed. Need I say more.
Bad Timing by (keeping her real name a secret until I find out if
she is using a pen name or not) - A ten year crush, a Christmas holiday
get together, and a bottle of Brandy. Will they or won’t they. You’ll
find out in December. LOL
There you have it, Blade’s debut Under the Mistletoe authors.
Coming to you December 2008!

I decided to take a break from cleaning and made a wordle using my current WIP. There are curse words in there. Can you find them? LMAO
Have you ever had one of those days, weeks, months, years, entire lifetime of feeling like there isn’t enough of you to go around? As I look around my house today, I feel so overwhelmed and frustrated that I want to cry. My DH (and that doesn’t stand for dear at the moment) has left me with the biggest mess. I believe he expects me to get my work done, take care of our 4 kids, and keep the house spotless all by myself while he does virtually nothing. For those who don’t know, we’ve been painting our living room. When he finished painting on day 1, he cleaned up his mess….day 2, he cleaned up his mess. Day 3, nope. Today, even worse. He’s left a paint brush in paint…I’ll have to clean that or the brush will be ruined. There is paint spatter he didn’t clean up. He pushed half my living room to the other side of the room and didn’t move it back even after the paint dried.
Next, the garbage needed taking out yesterday, and I asked him to. I thought he had until I went to the kitchen to cook supper. I was so disgusted that he left it there. He finally managed to do that today since I can’t very well leave my 1 year old in here by herself to do it and it’s hard to carry her and a heavy garbage bag.
Next, he looks at me and says, “Wash me some socks today.” No please, no kiss my ass, nothing. Am I the only one with two hands who knows how to wash laundry? NOPE! I’ve seen him do it, so I know he can. If he needs something washed and I’m busy, he needs to get up and wash it his damn self.
I think he’s decided within the last couple days that he no longer has to help me in the house. I think he believes I don’t work. WTF…I write my books, I edit for not one but 2 publishers, I do freelance work, I design scrap kits, I do web design and graphic design, I have 4 kids to take care of…what part of any of that is not work. I work my ass off and he needs to learn to respect that and me. I’m about ready to go on strike, run away, and hide for a year or two. I’ve already given up my ME time to pick up the slack around here. And don’t even get me started on the kids not behaving and him just sitting there while I do the discipline the past few days. That’s just so not even funny.
*sigh* Okay, rant over. Well, not really, but I won’t bore you with all the details. I just had to vent somewhere and better here than on someone’s shoulder and make them feel bad.
