I meant to blog today, but it didn't happen... You KNEW I wasn't going to yesterday... I feel like a disconnected slacker, but... at least I'm not alone...
So I really have to apologize for Blogger losing it this week. No sooner did I announce my pending scarcity and it FREAKED out... unavailable... And I just have to say... My Bad... Blogger obviously can't survive in my absence. I hope this week when I'm completely GONE, it doesn't bail on you permanently, but... it could happen... *cough*
On the positive side, it really helped ME, that if I wasn't posting or reading, nobody could... so there's that...
THIS came Thursday!!! I'm about 80% done and LOVING it, but I will wait until I'm done for a real review... Hopefully wearing the boa didn't make Nick too uncomfortable...
So my NEXT book is set too! I feel so important! I've never been sent an ARC before... (and Harry actually asked me personally if I was interested, which makes it all the more special)--he put me on a list for his publicist-type folks, though he wasn't sure who they'd pick. I don't know how they choose, but the interview I did had a lot of hits, and stayed on the Google front page for his book for quite a while, so I suspect that helped.
And then the visit with my cousin was fabulous—it was great to see him... I drug him to my son's band concert, but I think he didn't mind (and the middle school concerts are only 3 songs per group—band, choir, orchestra) and because the auditorium is small, they only want you there when your kid is performing (which means we got to leave early.)
So that's what I've got at the moment...I hope you are having a great weekend!

those of us toiling the constantly promoting, blogging and giving away abyss of romantic fiction salute you in the Real World of Writers. hey, bring Harry to My Tap Room sometime. I'll buy you both a beer and foist my high concept erotic fiction on him! cheers and please remember me when you are VERY famous! Read Harry's last book in one beach sitting last summer....
(got another contract today though and a request--of course, it's still "just romance") you rock. We are humbled!
love
Et
guess what I'm really saying is "drag your fellow Ann Arborites with you sister..." I'll bring the BEER
Sounds like you had a lot of fun! And woohoo for good reads :) Have a great weekend/time off!
*face palms forehead* So that's what happened to blogger. I should have guessed.
Hey, how's your book doing in ABNA? I see you made the quarterfinalists, but I haven't been back since the list was posted. Congratulations.

Gosh darnit Hart, I lost comments 'cause of your absence! lol.

Blogger had such a hissy fit!! LOL!!
Awww great that you and cousin had a fab time - yay to your son and his concert!!

You could take a whole year off from blogging, and then since I couldn't access Blogger, I might get some work done!
Glad you had a good time with your cousin. And if Blogger melts this week, we get to blame you, correct?
I should have known it was you when Blogger conked out. :)
Cute doggy!
Aah, misery loves company and it was somehow satisfying to know everyone else was in the same boat with Blogger. I blame the connections at Wordpress. It was a conspiracy, I tell ya!
Have fun during your blogging down time! Love the pooch pic.
And here I thought it was my fault, phew....glad there is someone else to blame :)
Very Bas Men; that can't be a book about me >:D
Yes, I'm having a good weekend; lazy yesterday, doing nothing, waxing and putting away skis for summer storage today >:)
Cold As Heaven
How very cool that you get to read an ARC!
I hope the concert was fun.
And here I thought it was someone who posted a picture of christy and I that blew up the blogosphere - glad to know you had a part in it, too. :P
Finished TPoG on Friday - how fun, huh?

Too cool about the ARC! And glad the visit with your cousin went so well. Too funny--my son had a middle school bad concert last week and grandparents and aunt went! Must be the season. :)
Brilliant! I haven't been following this blog for a while, but books with "bad" and "gravity" in the title are reason to celebrate! Hurray!
Oh, it was your fault! Of course. I should have guessed. Isn't everything?
Anyway, I am sorry I haven't been around for a while, and I do hope you'll survive The Rapture and will be around a couple of days later. :-)
Hugs, and I do hope you'll be among the winners as well :-D
