Thursday Thirteen for November 15th, 2012

Thanks to the lovely and talented Paloma Beck, I have been turned on to the Thursday Thirteen meme. Here is my inaugural post.



13 Reasons I Should Not be Working Today

  1. I've already worked 2 days this week.
  2. My dogs want me to come back to bed.
  3. I need more time to spend on Twitter.
  4. The commute across the hall is too far.
  5. I am still freaked out about last night's episode of American Horror Story.
  6. I didn't drink enough wine last night to numb me for the job.
7. Why work when I know my novel will be turned into a multi-million dollar motion picture and/or I will win the Mega-Millions lottery? 
8. All my pajamas are dirty, so I have nothing to wear in my home office.
9. I don't have enough wine for tonight to numb me from the job. 
10. I'm still not using Pinterest; I need to get on that.
11. Why waste time working when the world is coming to an end in 5 weeks?
12. Isn't today Thanksgiving? 
And the #13 reason why I should not be working:  I should be WRITING!

      hi Norma, LOVED your TT, but when I tried to reply, I thought I kept failing the CAPTCHA, so I might have posted my comments 3 times - LOL!

    #7 made me laugh. Isn't that the dream? To write the big ol' bestseller and sit back and enjoy? I hope you make it. I hope I do too!

Today I am going to tell you about my upcoming Romantic Suspense Thriller Alicia's Possession !   After having both a Paranormal Regency and a Contemporary Romance published last summer, this year I am jumping into a new sub-genre. Also, this novel contains a little light bondage and mild elements of Dominance and submission, which is a complete departure for me! Alicia's Possession will be released in July, so I do hope you will check it out. I don't have a cover yet, but most of the novel is set around lakes in Louisiana - so there you have it! Now for my prize... As my new novel will not be available to give away until July, I picked out something related to the heroine Alicia. You see, she absolutely LOVES ...
