I’m still working like crazy on my deadline (6 days to go!), but today is my day to blog with the Romance Bandits. I’m sharing why I love San Antonio so much since that’s where I am at the moment. Please swing by and share your thoughts regarding the questions I posed at the end of the post.

I get periodic e-mails from Borders Books, and the most recent one had a link to the Borders Media area of their site which houses, among other things, interviews with authors. I thought this interview with author Phillipa Gregory was really interesting. I’m fascinated by the research process of historical authors and these tidbits of history of which we haven’t heard. The interview really made me want to read her books.

I’m continuing to book new appearances for around when my book comes out this September. I’m working with an RWA chapter to speak to their group, hopefully in September, and I’ve committed to attending the Buns & Roses Tea and Book Signing to benefit the adult literacy programs at the Richardson Public Library in Richardson, Texas on Oct. 12. While I’m in Texas, I may try to book some more appearances/book signings to make more of the trip. Any Texas folks out there with any ideas?

Revisions continue. I got through about two and a half chapters yesterday. Shooting for at least two more today. It’s an easy day to stay inside since it’s cold and there is a bit of snow on the ground. I plan to go nowhere but the mailbox.

I know that seems like a crazy mixture of things in the title of this post, but hey, it’s 11 p.m. and I’m tired. After a long day of board meeting, a group of us went out to a great restaurant called Jasper’s in The Woodlands, Texas. The chef won this year’s Iron Chef competition. I had his famous barbecue ribs and some fantastic potato salad. Mucho yummy!

Author Stephanie Meyer has some new photos up on her site from the movie set of Twilight. I can’t wait to see this movie this December! And I’m really looking forward to Breaking Dawn, the fourth in the series of books that began with Twilight. It comes out in early August.

Mary sent me this link to a funny video of what kids’ songs would sound like if rock stars sang them. Hee hee.
