It’s costume day at the office.
I’m Mrs. Roper.
I was having major hair failure so I left the rollers in. This is Mrs. Roper’s evening look.
STANLEY!
I have no shame…

I like very much this books BITE ME and LOVE SUCKS
No, Borat didn’t review BITE ME! but I like to imagine that he read it and loved it. Along with Chuck Norris. And Mr. T. And MacGyver. And Han Solo.
Anyway, Lauren over at Lauren’s Crammed Bookshelf DID read BITE ME! and she loved it. You should check it out.
Here’s some tidbits:
Just when I thought vampires were officially over, Bite Me! ended up in my hands, and boy, was it fantastic (or fangtastic. Get it? Yes, I know my jokes are lame)! It definitely is one of my favorite paranormal romances of the year!
[more awesome stuff in between]
In all, Bite Me! is a romantic, funny, and unique debut book that I can’t suggest highly enough to all you paranormal lovers out there! I’m definitely looking forward to reading more by Ms. Francis.
Is very nice. (and heeheehee she called me Ms. Francis. *snort*)
She also reviewed LOVE SUCKS! but it’s only posted on Amazon right now. Hopefully it will be live on her site soon, but here is a little tidbit from that review:
Just when I thought Melissa Francis’ books couldn’t get any better, her sophomore novel came out and it was nothing short of amazing, good-old fun, making the Bite Me series one of my current faves!
[lots more awesome stuff]
Lastly, Melissa’s writing is even better in this one, because it brought not only the plot to life but the characters as well.
In all, Love Sucks!, as well as its predecessor Bite Me!, are pure fun vampire fluff! I’m truly hoping there will be a third one, though I’m sure that whatever Ms. Francis comes up with next will be just as great, if not more amazing!
Aw yeah. I love me some awesome reviews. Thanks, Lauren! I’m so glad you enjoyed the books!!
Please don’t forget the Give a Little, Get a Little contest I’m running.

a picture is worth a thousand contacts
So, I signed books in Oxford this weekend and had the best time ever. And I would LOVE to show you how much fun I had by posting all the pics I took (all 3 of them) but…
I lost them during an epic iPhone update.
And for a brief panicky moment, I also lost all my contacts. Yes, all of them. But they came back, as did all of my photos up to 80s Bunko. But I’ll gladly lose a few photos to keep all my contacts…
So you’ll just have to take my word for it. I looked cute, I signed books, I had fun, and the Razorbacks won. (yeah, that last one had nothing to do with the camera…but you know me and my piggies)
Since I lost my pics from the weekend, I’ll post 2 pics from my drive home. You’ll notice I really need to wash my windshield…
The sun setting over the Mississippi River. It was spectacular. This pic doesn’t even remotely do it justice.
We’re baaaaack!
Hope y’all had a great weekend!

I heart halloween
I love Halloween. It’s the best holiday on earth! And I’ve already started working on this year’s costume…
Here’s a hint:
Any guesses as to who I’m going to be this year?
Have a great weekend, ya’ll! If you’re in Oxford, come to Square Books, Jr. today at 5:00 to see me!!!

a fangastic time was had by all!
My book signing for LOVE SUCKS! was yesterday. Check out my new fangtastic ring that my sweet friend Ell-Bell gave me. (She also is the one who gave me Count Smurfula. She is my favorite girl in the world)
The signing was a success. 65 copies of LOVE SUCKS! were sold, 12 copies of BITE ME! we sold out of BITE ME! but that didn’t stop people from ordering them! YAY!
I had several friends from high school come to support me. I’m truly blessed with wonderful people in my life.
I owe a huge thank you to Fishdog for designing my new bookmarks (which are wonderful) and taking care of all the printing for me. He also designed the table top sign for me.
Books-a-Million in North Little Rock is the best damn bookstore in the state. Pam Houk and Chris Barton and all the other awesome associates seriously rock my socks off. If you live in central Arkansas, you should be making all your book purchases from this store. Trust me. They are awesome.
I posted these pics at Fictionistas today, but I’m gonna repost here for your viewing pleasure.
The first pic is me and my rotten boys. The 2nd is me and some of my classmates.
I had the best day and the greatest weekend. I have surrounded myself with a fabulous circle of friends and am truly the luckiest girl in the world. Share this:
Friday randomness
I love this song. It tells a story completely with so few words. And it’s powerful. And the video is powerful. And if you’re in a relationship that is this volatile, Get Out. Mmmkay?
Love the Way You Lie: Rhianna and Eminem
Of course, you know Eminem is one of my dirty little secrets, right? I can’t go back and find the blog right now, but you can click ‘secrets’ label and find my White Trash Crushes post. I mean, look at this boy. He’s hotter than a tablespoon of raw cinnamon.
Last night we celebrated two birthdays at Girls’ Night Out and we started out as a party of 8 and we ended with a party of 1million 16. We had cupcakes that sparkled, yummy sexican waiters, cleavage, margaritas and ended the night with karaoke. Carla and I performed Love Shack. It was terribly wonderful.
Here’s your Friday iPhone pic (actually here’s 2 pics just cuz you’re special and deserve double)
Do not adjust your screen. Jorge is, in fact, upside down. Actually, he was standing behind my chair leaning over me, so naturally I had to take a picture.
Getting a new pedi tonight, then it’s off to 80s Bunko! Tomorrow I’m hanging poolside with Birdrunner. The role of poolboy will be played by her husband…unless anyone else out there would like to volunteer.
Peace!

my new hero
Mimi Rosenthall is 101 years old and she just got her 3rd tattoo. She was 99 years old when she received her first one…And I thought waiting til 40 was a long time!!
You go, Mimi! Rock that Art, sistah!
I’m thinking maybe it’s time for my next one…I want a 4-leaf clover, I’m just not sure WHERE I want it. Probably on my foot. Yes, I know, it’s gonna hurt. Whatever. I can live with the pain. I mean, I fell asleep the last time!

2010 “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing
The “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing has become one of the most popular events at RWA’s annual conference. More than 500 romance authors participate in this two-hour autographing event, and each year we raise thousands of dollars, which are donated to ProLiteracy Worldwide. Since 1990, RWA has donated more than $600,000 to literacy charities.
The 2010 “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing takes place on Wednesday, July 28, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Walt Disney World® Dolphin Resort, Pacific Exhibit Hall, in Orlando, Florida. This event is open to the public; there is no admittance charge. Since the proceeds from this event are donated to charity, we ask that you purchase books at the event instead of bringing your own books. (RWA accepts cash, check, or credit/debit cards for book purchases at the event.) If you do bring books, please limit yourself to one or two books and consider making a cash donation to the cause.
