It's the First Thursday Thirteen for 2013


 
Welcome to the Thursday 13 for 1-3-13! 



Here are 13 things I am looking forward to in 2013:

1 - No more talk about those stupid Mayans and the end of the world. And can we drop the Zombie Apocalypse while we're at it?

2 - Arrested Development!

3 - The 200th Anniversary of Pride and Prejudice on January 28th.

4 - We are finally going to figure out what Fringe is all about.

5 - Fleetwood Mac is coming back!

6 - The end of the presidential debates, ads, predictions, and pundits.

7 - I will finish writing Dearest Bloodiest Elizabeth, the sequel to Pulse and Prejudice.

8 - My husband learning to cook and preparing all our meals.

9 - I'm going to lose 25 pounds. (Any relation with #8 above is completely coincidental.)

10 - Seeing Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock.

11 - The Rolling Stones either will or will not go on tour for their 50th anniversary.  I'm OK either way.


12 - The return of Sean Payton - Could that mean a Saints Superbowl in 2014???

13 - Pulse and Prejudice becoming a New York Times Bestseller - with your help, of course! (Now available in print and eBook...)

So what are YOU looking forward to in 2013?

    Good list, Colette. What I'm most looking forward to in 2013? More great books, and hopefully catching up on a few favorite authors and series. Time to tackle Mount TBR!

    I send my best wishes to you in regards to your husband cooking all meals. He'll probably surprise you in the kitchen. In a good way. ;)

    As for what I'm looking forward to in 2013? Getting my novel completed and finding new projects to work on. As always. Heh.

    Happy TT to you!

      Hubby has actually been doing well in the kitchen! He made some impressive jerk chicken last night (I would have expected "jerk" from my EX-husband!)

      Best of luck on your novel. I have a ways to go on the sequel to 'Pulse and Prejudice.' It's the research that's killing me.

    Oh let's do have a zombie apocolypse - I know of about 500 people who are already zombies (we call them Congress). Great list, very thought provoking.

Greetings! Welcome to the Cuddle Up With a Contemporary Romance Blog Hop , where you can find out all about Upcoming and New Releases from Secret Cravings Authors! PLUS, all the authors will be giving away special prizes, so be sure to visit them all! 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

Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!

Miss Jane Austen was born on December 16th, 1775, in Hampshire, England. In honour of her 275th birthday, in conjunction with Maria Grazia's My Jane Austen Book Club , from December 16th through December 18th, we have a unique blog hop with the participants highlighting a favourite passage written by Miss Austen. Oh, and of course we have Giveaways! Please leave a comment below with your email address for my giveaway, your choice of an eBook or Print copy of Pulse and Prejudice , and be sure to continue on this special birthday blog hop ! The passage I have selected is from Pride and Prejudice ; however, for some reason, it is omitted from most adaptations. Mrs. Gardiner may be my favourite Austenian character, as she and Mr. Gardiner must be the most sensible people in the entire Austen universe! In this excerpt, Miss Elizabeth Bennet - en route to Kent - visits with her aunt and uncle in London. Gracious hosts that they are, they take her to the theatre. (Below this excerpt, yo
