Tagged and update on arc contest

Hi everyone! I’ve been tagged! My pal Jennifer Ray got me. It’s a fun little tag though– 7 things people don’t know about me. Oh and visit Jennifer here:

1- I thought I hated cats. Then Diego(DH) found this poor kitty at the dumpster. She looked like a rat. Very skinny! We started feeding her and then brought her to the patio. Then the house. Then the vet. Turns out she is some rare oriental breed worth a pretty penny (which matters NOT) but must have gotten lost from her owner. Turns out she is supposed to be skinny - just not like when we found her - and she has short soft hair that barely sheds. We had her scanned for a chip and secretly prayed we got to keep her. She is such a sweetie. I don’t know how we lived without her. Orientals are gentle and rather dog-like. They follow you everywhere and cry outside your door if you shut it. They don’t hiss and they meet you at the door when you come home. They are so very patient with little kids too.

2-My fiancee is 9 years younger than me.

3-I never even considered writing until 2003. I did however do some independant film and had a creative side. It was when I started to sell my company I owned that I started feeling the creative vibe again and needed an outlet. I loved books and somehow one day, I just knew that was what my creativity had to be directed towards.

4-I spend years creating change in the corporate world but in my personal life I like things the same. My little routines, my space, my gym, my habits. I get very out of sorts when they are disrupted. It’s a real contradiction from the way I was running a large company but I deal with craziness well as long as I have my personal escape zone.

5-I am a workout freak. I always had to watch my weight but about 8 years ago I decided I wanted to really get in shape. I actually got in such great shape I considered some fitness contests. Then, Diego came along and reminded me how much I love to eat more than oatmeal, protein bars, and protein shakes! I’ll never be in contest shape again but I still workout 6 days a week and I mean every week, all 6 days, never cheating. It makes me insane to miss. I know……that brings me to the next thing.

6- CONTROL freak. Yes that is me. I am so much better now that I left the corporate world but I think that is why I need my little habits too. I need to have control!

7- I know Judo and competed when I was younger. Yes I am an ultimate fighter fan too!

Okay tagging….

Sending a child to an out of state college is….

Sending a child to an out fo state college is…..worthy of a nervous breakdown. I have spent days and days and days coordinating everything. We move ten days after he does. He leave later this week and we are flying up for last minute stuff too. I get to ensure he is safety tucked into his new apartment and school and make the FINAL arrangements before we move. Nail biting! Oh my god! I am moving to another STATE. Terrifying, exciting, amazing, crazy!

I have Beast of Desire ARCS!
Post here this week while I am gone and just tell me about your new year or shout out and I will draw when I get back. I am sorry I am behind. This month is insane. I have proofs for Beast of Darkness coming tomorrow and I am writing Captive by the Beast, book 4 of my Knights of White. I am going to write book 5 as soon as I finish book 4 so I can stay wrapped in the world.

So tell me what you are up to?
