Sometimes Life Just Needs a Little Plaid

July has breezed by in a whirlwind of activity and August is shaping up to be more of the same. Here's a quick rundown of what's ahead:

August 17th - It's The Clare and Chrissy Show here on the blog
August 24th - The Dreamspinner Authors visit Love Romances Cafe Yahoo Group for chat & fun from 4 - 11 pm


August 26th-28th - Celebrate with The Romance Studio's End of Summer Bash. Join me and a HUGE assortment of authors as we share excerpts and posts. Enter to win free ebooks and a Nook all your own.

Don't forget to swing back by Love Romances Cafe Yahoo Group on Saturday, August 27th for their GLBT Theme Day.

Taking a break from our next scheduled snowstorm to remember I've been slack on the upcoming events end of things.

Today, March 25th - It's GLBTQ Theme Day over at Love Romances Cafe Yahoo Group from 9 am-midnight EST. You know what this means. Excerpts, excerpts, excerpts. And empty pocket books. But we're worth it.

Thursday, March 31st - Ready for another fun and festive LIVE version of The Clare and Chrissy Show? Join us at Love Romances Cafe Yahoo Group from 1 pm-4 pm EST. Clare will be fresh from her appearance at the Rainbow Book Fair in NYC, and I'll be overly caffineated.

Goodness me! I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since I've been out and about in web world. What have I missed? To everyone at Clare's Bday blog heartfelt apologies for not swinging by and commenting. All I can say is that there's been too much real life in my real life, and don't we all hate when that happens?

Coming up:

The January 25th release of Wishing on a Blue Star. Truly this anthology was a labor of love by everyone involved, and I'm so honored to have been a small part of it.

January 29th - it's the Dreamspinner Authors over at the Love Romances Cafe Yahoo Group from 4pm - 11pm EST. Chatting, excerpts, fun times galore.

Busy making your plans for the next couple of weeks? Here's a few items you'll want to add to your calendar. (trust me, have I steered you wrong yet?)

-- First up - A 20% Holiday Discount from Dreamspinner Press! That's right. I just love it when they do this. Available now through the end of the year and each customer can use it twice!! Definitely worthy of an overuse of exclamation points. The code to enter at checkout is: HolidayDreams (without the cool colors).
( This may be a good time to remind buyers that my two Holiday shorts are available for individual sale starting December 1st and, can you say Chrissy's Backlist?)

-- What to do when you've had enough family and turkey (or tofurkey) to last a lifetime? Swing over to the Literary Nymphs Chat Yahoo Group for another amazing Thanksgiving Day Weekend M/M only Chat and feast on excerpts galore. This is shaping up to be their biggest chat ever! Starts Friday, November 26th and runs through Sunday, November 28th! I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to show, but I'll be there with bells on.

-- Sunday, November 28th is also the Dreamspinner Authors Chat Day at Talking Two Lips Reviews Yahoo Group . Come watch crazy authors bounce back and forth between the two chats. Warning: Insanity is catching.

-- Still looking for more distractions from Holiday Stress? On Thursday, December 2nd head back over to the Literary Nymphs Chat Yahoo Group for an all day chat with 2010 Dreamspinner Press Advent Calendar Authors. More excerpts! More discounts! And even some free book giveaways.

-- Don't forget to check back here on Wednesday, December 15th for the December Edition of The Clare and Chrissy Show.

Hope to see you soon!
