Quick Hello!

I’m sure all of you know that promo work is the devil’s torment. How much does one promote? How pushy can one be? I hate promo because I feel like I’m imposing. Ah, can’t I just send cookies and hope for the best? :::grins:::

On the review front, Dirty Kiss has been doing well, I think.

Top 2 Bottom Reviews gave DK a 5 ♥ http://bit.ly/qdRnkt
mmgoodbookreviews gave DK a 4.5 ♥ http://bit.ly/odBOZ6
Smexy Books gave DK a B+ http://bit.ly/omPHUD (not sure how that equates to stars, kisses or hearts but woot ^_^)

Goodreads overall has DK sitting at a 4.20+ at the moment so that is all well and good.

Now, on to the sequel!

Mummy Dearest by Josh Lanyon (Oct 2011)

Mummy Dearest (The XOXO Files, #1)Mummy Dearest by Josh Lanyon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have had the extreme pleasure of reading this book (Thank you, Josh!) and for me, it went by much too quickly. I wanted it to last for days! Sadly, it didn’t.

This story is a lighter fare for Lanyon. Much of the gritty intrigue of his mysteries is missing here but this story isn’t written in that flavour. The voice of the characters carry through and once more, an homage to the film noir / classic theatre is woven into slices of the plot.

It was a fantastic X-Files meets Hepburn/Spencer romp. I’ll build out a bigger review closer to release date.

Enter Stage Left: The Asian Mom

My mother and I just had a phone call. She’s called three times in the past two days. that always makes me sniff in curiosity. I’d called her back but she’d gone out. So I called her again. The italics are my translations of what she’s actually saying.

After ten minutes of chatting about nothing in particular, she reaches the point where she can finally ask me for what she’s called for.
Ten minutes is the minimal acceptable length of time required to speak to someone before you can ask them to do you a favour. anything before then is rude. Continue reading “Enter Stage Left: The Asian Mom” →
