The writings and ramblings of Colette Saucier

Good evening, dear readers! The video below will demonstrate how to make the perfect dirty dry vodka martini, so scroll on down if that's all you want. I usually have a guest join me for Cocktails , but we have been working on a "critical" project at my soul-sucking day job "without enough resources," which means middle management's poor planning is forcing the peons to work a lot of overtime (without compensation). Thus, I have not had the time to entertain. I have, however, been a guest on Karen Docter's Killer Book Bench with an excerpt from The Proud and the Prejudiced. So I suppose tonight my guest is I! Thus, if you want to know more, I will direct you there because if you leave a comment, you could win a $20 Amazon Gift Card. Click here to read the excerpt and to qualify for the giveaway. (By the way, the hardback is now available for Pre-order directly from the publisher ahead of its release date. Of course, it is already available...

Happy New Year, Dear Readers! Wow - 2015 .... This decade is just flying by! I know many people are blogging about their "year in review," but it just kind of whooshed right by me. I know I worked - a lot! Mainly putting in plenty of overtime at my soul-sucking day job. I did finish two novels - one of them being Viuda , which is a work of art if I do say so myself (fingers crossed that my agent finds a publisher soon so you can finally read it!) - and, if I'm lucky, I might finish a third this week. I also completed the edits and enhancements for The Proud and the Prejudiced (which - as a reminder - is still only 99¢ on all eBooks through January 1st , then it jumps back to the extravagant regular price of $2.99). Right now it is only available on eBook but soon will be released in hardcover. I have so much planned for 2015, I hope I have enough time! I shan't take up too much of your time here, as I know you must have new years' preparations and...

Good morning, dear readers! I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  If you haven't already entered for the giveaways for the Love Stories from Long Ago blog hop, the winners will be selected Monday night for the eBook and Audiobook of Pulse and Prejudice , so you still have a few more hours to leave a comment! When Stephanie contacted me after reading Alicia's Possession and asked me to participate in her Tantalizing Talks , of course I agreed.  I mean, come on!  Look how sweet and innocent she looks! Little did I know this would be one of the most challenging interviews I would face this summer!  Seriously - If my heroine were ice cream, what flavor would she be???  Challenging, yes, but also a lot of fun!  I hope you will agree. ~Colette Welcome, readers! Today, we have the fabulous Colette Saucier with her newest novel, Alicia’s Possession. Let me say first that I am not your typical suspense/romance reader. But, Alicia’s Possession has...
