Today’s my day to blog at both the Supernatural Sisters and Romance Bandits blogs. At the Supernatural Sisters, I’ve recapped and offered observations on last night’s season finale. At Romance Bandits, I’m having a launch party (complete with giveaway) for Her Very Own Family. Come on by!

If you’re a fan of Joss Whedon’s work and would like to see Dollhouse renewed for a second season, here’s a page with all the ways you can contact FOX. The last time FOX had one of Whedon’s shows, Firefly, they canceled it way too early (before the end of the first season) and didn’t give it a chance to establish itself and gain a following. Seems to be the M.O. in broadcasting today. But I want to know what happens next. It only takes a moment to e-mail FOX, or there are other options like writing a letter or Twittering about it.

In other news, Her Very Own Family, my second book from Harlequin American, officially releases today! Your local bookstore, Wal-Mart, or other book-buying outlet should have it.

Hubby and I don’t watch a lot of the same shows on TV. Most of the time, it’s just The Daily Show. But that changes tonight because the fifth season of The Deadliest Catch premieres on The Discovery Channel. I know all these guys do is fish for crab on every episode, but I can’t help myself. I love watching them battle the Bering Sea, play practical jokes on each other, battle to see who can catch their quota and how quickly. Every time the Hillstrand brothers aboard the Time Bandit get to laughing, I crack up myself. It’s a sure cure for the blues or other bad moods. I notice they have a couple of new boats this year — one big one and one that is the smallest in the fleet. It’ll be interesting to get to know these new crews and see how they do against the regulars — the aforementioned Time Bandit, the Cornelia Marie, the Northwestern and the Wizard.

Any Deadliest Catch fans out there? Which is your favorite boat and crew?

My revisions are continuing, though a bit easier since the section I’m in today isn’t requiring as much rewriting as yesterday’s. Still, I feel like I’m growing to this chair like kudzu overtaking a roadway.

I’m guest blogging today over at In Bed with Books about how I get writing inspiration from TV and movies. I even mention those hilarious Hulu commercials.

After two weeks of travel for business and vacation and then the past week of having the respiratory crud, my to-do list has been approaching scary lengths. The good news is that I finished up my book that’s due April 1 yesterday and am in the process of polishing it up to turn in to my editor. The plan is for it to be on its lovely way tomorrow so that I can get to the rest of the things on the scary list:

1. Revise synopsis for continuity book after reading all the unread e-mails on that loop. Then turn it back in.
2. Start reading through the revision comments on the second YA (revision round 3, for those of you counting), then start working on that.
3. Register for the Moonlight & Magnolias conference before Wednesday, since I’m a speaker this fall.
4. Go see the folks and pick up Mom’s refurbished rocking chair that belonged to her grandmother.
5. Promo planning for April book release.
6. Work on updating program I’m giving to OVRWA in a couple of weeks.
7. Answer backlogged e-mail.
8. Clean off TiVo.
9. Clean house — at least begin to.
10. Clean off my impossibly messy desk. Who knows what’s in those piles of paper!
11. Get back to blogging every day on my blog and write my Supernatural Sisters blog for the week.

I’m back from California (as of Tuesday), and I brought back a respiratory infection with me. Oh boy! Headed to see my doctor in a few minutes. Always fun to sit in a waiting room full of other sick people. Hopefully, he can give me something to knock this crud out and allow me to get some rest. I do, after all, have a good due in six days!

I’m blogging at Supernatural Sisters today about whether love is in the cards for the Winchester boys. Come check it out and tell me what you think.

It’s been awhile since I’ve had the opportunity to blog about TV viewing, so I thought I’d talk about the new show Castle, which debuted Monday night. I was looking forward to this mainly because it stars Nathan Fillion, and I think he’s a complete hoot. He plays a mystery novelist who initially helps with a case and then decides he wants to tag along with the determined female detective because he wants to do research on a new character based on her. Of course, there is tension and witty banter galore. I loved how Fillion brought his trademark style (great one-liners) to the character, but it’s still different from his Captain Mal days on Firefly and Serenity. For one thing, he has a teenage daughtere and a mom who is all over the “graydar” dating pool.

For the record, Fillion is like this in person too. I met him briefly and went to his panels at Dragon*Con last year, and he and the other Firefly cast members there kept everyone laughing. I’m really glad to see him with another starring role, and I’m liking the casting of Stana Kanic opposite him. There were a few cliched parts, but overall it was a solid pilot. Sometimes it takes actors awhile to build the chemistry between them, but I’m already seeing it in Fillion and Stanic. I’m looking forward to seeing what future episodes have in store.

Anyone else see it? What did you think?

It’s my day to blog over at Supernatural Sisters, and I’m talking about how the show’s writers are portraying angels this season. Check it out.

I mentioned that I had lots to get done before Monday, and yesterday I got my revisions on my second YA finished and back to my editor. Whew! Now I just have to finish reading my RITA entries and giving those scores over the weekend.

Today is my blog day over at Supernatural Sisters, so swing by if you have the chance.

I’ve been up to my eyeballs in revisions lately, for my second YA novel, Ice and Desire. I like how they’re coming, and I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully, I can send them to my editor by the end of the week. Since I’m headed to California a week from today, I’ve got a lot to get done between now and then:

1. Finish the Ice and Desire revisions
2. Finish judging entries in the RITA contest — 5 books left!
3. Read my agenda packet for the RWA board meeting
4. Do a freelance article for my contract job
5. Misc. paperwork
6. Print out what I’ve written of Flirting with Forever, the Harlequin American book that is due April 1, so I can work on it on the train to Cali.

While I’m working on all that, I thought I’d share a fun fan video I found recently, for one of the shows I enjoy, Legend of the Seeker. The video is about Kahlen and Richard’s relationship, and it includes a verra nice kiss. Plus, I like the Hinder song it’s set to.
