Facebook Chat With Rhys Ford. May 4th 3 – 6 pm EST
I will be hosting a chat on Saturday May 4, 2013 on Dreamspinner Press’ Facebook Page. I’ll be there from 3 to 6 PM Eastern Standard Time… that is Noon to Three So Cal / PST time.
Come keep me company. I’m there to answer questions and um… I might even have a few prizes. I’m flying by the seat of someone else’s pants because I sure as hell can’t even manage my own. *laughs*
Anniversary Winners!
And the winners are….
Cole and Jae.
Thank you everyone for voting! Now I’ve got to write the damn thing. *grins*
Smooches!
On the Hunt for Xiao Long Bao
So I’m in Santa Monica for the weekend. The word “in” is relative because really I’ve spent more time driving around in Los Angeles than actually in the bungalow but that’s pretty much Los Angeles for you.
Ren, my darling younger sister by another set of parents, has been longing to find people to eat xiao long bao for her. She’s a vegetarian and well, xiao long bao is an incredible dish and she knew a place where it apparently is sublime.
Xiao long bao is a type of dim sum with a pocket of broth inside of it along with meat, usually meat. It’s a delicate dish to balance and well there are some horrible versions of it out there. So it was a quest. I LOVE xiao long bao and hadn’t had it in a while. So off to Arcadia we went.
This is what the inside should look like. (zoom enabled for all pix)
Killer Whale Pod
I’ve seen dolphins do this soooo many times growing up. And a couple of the smaller whales but oh, something about orca doing this is just incredible. They really are wolves compared to the other whales, dolphins and porpoises. They are one of my favourites, even as dangerous as they can be.
Dirty Deeds Tattoo Winner Announced!
The winner of the Dirty Deeds tattoo contest at The Novel Approach is….
Cole Riann!
He will be featured in a scene in the next Cole McGinnis novel getting inked with the tattoo of his choice!
For those of you who did not win, there will be another chance to be inked in the future! There will be another contest held for you to be included in Bobby’s book, Down and Dirty.
So don’t throw out your tattoo ideas just yet!
And Congrats Cole! Wooooot!
Damn. JYJ is Pretty.
They shouldn’t be this pretty dressed in dorky funky clothes.
Dreamspinners’ Anniversary Stories….Your Choice.
As part of their May Anniversary promotions, they’re soliciting stories of couples from Dreamspinner stories celebrating an anniversary.
So here comes the question… a poll and yes, I’m making all of you choose.
Cole and Jae, Miki and Kane or perhaps even…. Scarlet and Hyung? (which would be a bitch to be honest but I’m willing to take a hack at it. These will be between 1000 and 3000 words and posted on DSP’s Facebook page. The anniversary can be of any type so.. I’ll be winging it.
Vote as often as you want. Poll will end on Friday April 26th. I need time to write it.
Put any comments here. And um… let me know. *grins*
