Jaci Burton’s Muse

Heh. Knew that would get your attention.

Since I won’t be going to the RWA Conference in San Francisco this month, I’ll be participating in PBW’s annual Left Behind and Loving It weekly workshops extravaganza from July 28th through August 3rd. So mark your calendars now!

I’ll be talking about sex. Since I tend to write a lot of it, I figured I could talk a lot about it. How to write it, and write it well. And hopefully the workshop will make some sense. (Notice the hopefully in there.).

So any of you writers (and readers) out there, if you have particular questions or issues you’d like me to address during the workshop, pop them into the comments and I’ll see what I can do.

Look how pretty! I got bookmarks for both my upcoming October releases - RIDING TEMPTATION and THE DARKEST TOUCH!

If you’d like them, email me your full name and address to jaciATjaciburton.com with BOOKMARKS in the subject header and I’ll get them right out to you! And yes, I do mail outside the U.S.

If this were a real emergency, I’d have to fly to Oklahoma and actually get on Jaci’s computer to get her Windows Live Writer settings correct. Let’s hope it doesn’t become a real emergency.

The National Guard was nice enough to bring Junior’s car to town over the weekend. Fortunately, Biker Dude and I were riding by on the bike and happened to see them, so we stopped to check it out.

Sadly, they didn’t bring Junior with them. But hey, I got to rub my butt up against his chassis and ogle the inside. A girl’s gotta get her thrills anyway she can ya know.

The brilliant author duo otherwise known as Ashleigh Raine is visiting, and giving away a copy of their book, Driven To Distraction.

Go check it out!

Went to see WANTED yesterday.

This. Movie. Was. HOT! Loved it. Omg loved it. Action, guns, James McAvoy, action, bloodshed, Angelina Jolie, guns, bloodshed, action, nonstop thrills, action, guns….

Seriously. It was filled with awesomeness. Visually, the action scenes are amazing, one of those ‘I can’t wait to see this again’ kind of movies. James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie do some incredible stunts (and are also pretty to look at…heh). And Morgan Freeman is in it and he just rocks my world. There are mutliple plot twists and turns, but really, if you’re looking for ‘reality’ in your movie, don’t seek out WANTED. It’s pure make believe….and oh so much fun.

Did I mention I loved this movie?

I’m over at Writeminded today, talking about home improvements and giving away a copy of NOTHING PERSONAL! Come see me!

RIDING ON INSTINCT is finished! Typed the last word of the last chapter this afternoon. Damn I’m glad to be done with this book. Now I have to go back and edit it, make it pretty, then get it off my desk!

And speaking of RIDING ON INSTINCT……look what I got recently. Just to whet your appetites for April, 2009.

Department of Justice agent Shadoe Grayson is out to prove she’s no rookie, and eagerly accepts her first undercover assignment at a strip club in New Orleans. Working with the Wild Riders, a government agency of bad boy bikers, her goal is to bring down a corrupt DEA agent. All she has to do now is learn to strip like a pro.

Standing in Shadoe’s way is the arrogant and smokin’ hot Spencer King, her new partner and one of the Wild Riders. Spence thinks she looks more like a schoolteacher than a stripper, and doubts her ability to do the job. But when he mockingly challenges Shadoe to strip just for him, he finds out there’s more to the surprisingly sexy agent than by-the-book rules and Government Issue pantsuits.

Now Spencer has to resist his baser instincts while Shadoe learns that taking off your clothes doesn’t always equal losing control…

Annnnd, it’s already up for Preorder at Amazon.

Gia Dawn’s book released yesterday from Samhain, but she went in for surgery so is unable to promote it. I thought I’d help her out by buzzing her book for her (because gah…how much does it suck to have surgery when your book releases?)

I copied the Warning from the Samhain website because it cracked me up. So be sure to read on.

Love is mightier than the sword…

Demons of Dunmore, book 4.

Sir Graham Dunmore is looking forward to competing in his first summer tournament—until he gets saddled with babysitting a prince in disguise, three fairy-godmothers he would much rather see fly back to where they came from, and a woman for a squire. Gone for years, Jiliana is now back in Westmyre, older, colder, with a lethal fighting skill that leaves him both impressed and intrigued.

Jili doesn’t recognize this sleek, well-trained man as the awkward friend from her youth. But seeing Graham again brings back painful memories of a brutal past. One that forces her to live a life of tight control, lest one slip unleash a deadly monster capable of hurting everyone in her path.

Yet as Graham patiently teaches her the arts of love, Jili has a glimmer of hope that she can finally control the killer that lurks inside her—until a ninja assassin begins to stalk the tournament.

With a heavy heart, she realizes Graham is going to need every skill she possesses to protect the prince—the very skills that could tear them apart forever.

Warning: This title contains cranky fairies, a gorgeous hero, and a heroine who just about kicks his ass…plus really sizzling sex told in naughty language.
