If you are like me, then you are one of the many people who are sick of winter. Living in Canada will make anyone eventually become immune to freezing cold temperatures.

Happy Valentine's Day
There isn't any other way to celebrate this day of love than to write a romantic love scene. It just so happens that as I approach this pivotal point in the second installment in the Bloodlust Series it is also the day where couples remind each other of their love and commitment - I wonder how many people are going to get laid tonight!
I am tempted to include a snippet from the new novel, just a line or two but I'm hesitating.
Ok - I give in... Happy Valentine's Day!

Update
There has been a lot going on and as a result I am lagging behind in my posts... no excuse but it happens.
Like so many writers I have a day job and up to last week I've been able to keep it balanced. This past week I've learned a few interesting developments that has sent me careening to the edge of destroying that balance. My manager has quit... well actually she took another job in the company. I am happy for her as she is a well-respected woman, but now everything is being dumped on me. Many people can sympathize, I am not the first nor last to have to do two jobs. On the other hand, there is a posting for a lucrative job in my same department but pays way better and the job is way more interesting. Two people have so far told me I should apply for the job without me mentioning anything - very interesting. I have until the end of the month to decide and submit my application. This is a huge decision because not only do I have to compete for the job, I might not get it but if I do I will be abandoning my team and moving fifteen feet away to do a job that is wicked cool.
The other distracting event happening right now is my health - not going to go into detail but I'm working hard to get my shit together. I thrive on stress but I'm starting to feel weak and I need to start eating healthier and get back to running.
The writing is coming along, almost halfway there. I thought of another book idea on Thursday, crazy and wild. I wish had had time to write all day long, the excitement of a new idea can eat a person up if they cannot let it flourish.
There are not enough hours in the day.
