Good Morning World!
August 25, 2006 | It's All About Writing
Today is great. I’m still on a high from my first chat last night at Coffee Time Romance. Many old friends showed up along with a host of new people. Thank you for being there. All of them helped me get over the jitters in a New York second. We had a blast joking and commenting on my excerpts. The hour passed much too fast.
Susan, the moderator, and I agreed to give away two free copies of TEDDI TURNS ON and bars of honey soap. The lucky winners were:
RAM from Singapore
Jeanne from the U.S.
Please remember ladies to send me your addresses so I can mail the prizes.
Have a great weekend.

We’re Back!
August 15, 2006 | Studly
Sheesh, it’s good to be back in the USA after all the airport problems in London.
We had a great time on our trip. Spent way too much money (the rate of exchange sucked for the dollar) and ate fantastic meals too many times each day. Studs and I didn’t gain weight, not only are we amazed but also very grateful. Those damned new pants of mine are tight enough!
Italy was hot. One day in Rome the temp topped 100F with a 96% humidity. What else can you do but suck down a few dynamite Italian beers to cool off?
Austria and Germany were a whole different thing when the temps dipped down into the mid 50s. I knew I should have brought at least one pair of slacks. We had rain almost daily, but we refused to let it stop us.
One serious mishap was American Airlines losing my suitcase with all the souvenirs for our kids and friends, not too mention Studs good camera and my completed work on the next three books.
On a really bright note – when I opened my emails there was a three book contract from Triskelion for the remaining books in the Magnificent Men of Munich series. Thank you my wonderful publisher and editors!!
Today is the day for drawing two names from people who signed up for my quarterly newsletter. If you haven’t joined you still have some time!!
Ciao,
Sloane
WOOHOO!
July 21, 2006 | It's All About Writing
This is a great week. I’ve completed the synopses for books 2, 3,and 4 in the Magnificent Men of Munich series. They’re now in the hands of my kind editor who was very happy with my proposal for books 2 and 3. Still haven’t heard from her on #4, but I have everything crossed that’s possible.
The three remaining books lead Lonnie, Francine, and Isabella on a terrific journey of freedom and love as they let go of their fears with the help of Heicke, Rhineholdt, and Wolfe. You really should read TEDDI TURNS ON to learn about the people I’m referring to here.
Our three heroes also find a new world as the ladies teach them there’s more to life than living in the past and one night stands.
Now for even more good news. Studly and I are off on a well deserved three week vacation in Europe. Studs is making the supreme effort to savor as many beers and wines he can swallow while I research more data for the above mentioned books. Ya gotta love a guy who will go to such lengths to make his woman happy.
We decided to create some fun for you as well. Please sign up for my quarterly newsletter. When we return two names will be drawn. The lucky winners will each receive two bars of the honey soap featured in the Magnificent Men of Munich series, a bath scrubby, and a free copy of TEDDI TURNS ON. The drawing will be held August 15.
Enjoy yourself while we’re gone!

Bragging Rights
July 10, 2006 | Family
This weekend was a great experience for me. My daughter, her two daughters, and I went on a mini vacation for the oldest girl’s dance convention. Hundreds of shrill voiced little girls met for three days to dance out their hearts.
The excellent instructors from the Chicago Dance Connection began classes at 8:00am and worked these kids until 3:30pm. Every type of dance technique was taught then performed. And every single exhausted girl loved it.
You can’t imagine the joy I experience being included in these important events of my children’s lives. I am one fortunate woman.
Have a great day!
