celebration time…come on!

24 Comments

Who knows what today, February 26, 2013 is?

If you guessed that eight years ago today, Halle Berry accepted the Razzie award for her portrayal of Catwoman, you’re close.

If you say it’s Johnny Cash’s birthday, you’re getting warmer.

If you guess that it’s ONE MONTH until the release of ABBY ROAD, you’re exactly right!

How can I let a momentous day like this pass without some celebrating and giveaways?

How to enter. It’s super easy. Just leave me a quicky comment saying your favorite Beatles song. (Abby LOVES the Beatles, by the way. You’ll see!) If you don’t have a favorite, just throw one out there. It might be a goodie. If you don’t like the Beatles, I don’t want to know about it….this is a CELEBRATION, people!  And don’t forget to leave your email addy so I can give you the good news!
 
I’m going to pick a winner tomorrow at the stroke of twelve noon CST (or sometime around there in case I step out for some TexMex. I’ve been craving that lately). The winner will be chosen at random and will received a SIGNED COPY of ABBY ROAD and some other delicious bookery swag! 

If you need some Beatles inspiration, here is one of my favorites. Enjoy and rock on!

Man, isn’t she so cute? Smiling away like that. A year ago, she had no idea….
what real deadlines feel like,
that she will never sleep the same again,
that Twitter is actually an awesome place to hang out, 
that she could feel stress, frustration, betrayal, joy and gratitude simultaneously,
what it’s like to cry over cutting a whole scene for the better of the manuscript,
that adding two pages about riding up in an elevator could be so smexy,
how energized she will feel while proofreading a final galley at 2 in the morning,
how thrilling it will be to see her name after the copyright symbol,
that having her words reviewed–for better or worse–is a true blessing,
who her real friends are. And she had many!

Relive the BIG DAY here. And then have a cupcake!

Did you read PLAYING AT LOVE? Did you love Mac? Me too! And now, she has her own story.
SPEAKING OF LOVE 
is H E R E ! ! !

Speech teacher and successful matchmaker Mackenzie Simms decides to find a woman for her friend, handsome newspaper tycoon Rick Duffy. Though they’ve been each other’s go-to dates for the past month, Mac and Rick couldn’t be more different: she is outspoken, sarcastic, and completely loathes his privileged lifestyle. He’s laid-back, unassuming, and seems comfortable at an upper-class charity function. So why can’t she stop thinking about him? 

Rick knows he and the opinionated-though-adorable Mackenzie are better off as friends, so he agrees to the double-date getaway Mac plans at his family cabin. But seeing Mac cuddle up with her “friendly” date rankles Rick beyond reason, and Mac regrets her matchmaking scheme the minute she sees the way her beauty-queen cousin looks at Rick. Can Mac ‘fess up to what’s really in her heart, when speaking her mind puts everything at risk?
