Monica’s on fire

http://monicajackson.com/2005/ I love this author because she has a set of balls the size of grapefruits and I love her books too. It’s refreshing that there’s an author out there who tells it like it is. She underlines the plight of the black author and the way the books by AA writers are written. Something to think about, just because a romance is written by a black author should it automatically be shoved in the AA section in the book store even though technically AA is not a genre. Monica writes awesome paranormals, but its not classified as such. Is it misleading for publishers to do this. Maybe. I’m not a marketing person, but shouldn’t books be placed in the genres that they’re supposed to? I do understand the argument that some readers look specifically look for books with black characters, but does it in fact hurt the author?

Is finished and in the hands of my editor!! This Grimaldi brothers are wearing me down. *sigh* I do enjoy writing their stories but, I feel so drained after each installment. After my edits for Romeo is finished, I do believe I’ll set this series aside for a couple of months to focus on other projects. I have a werewolf series and my wizard series, rememeber Sasha’s briefly mentioned brothers? I have a menage story in that series planned, for my freakier readers, but we all know that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

And her name is Lynette. I’ve recently started working out trying to live a healthy lifestyle and all that junk, but who knew excercising would be such hard work. I joined a gym and I’m starting to notice some subtle differences in my body, so I decided to take a club boxing class. Sounds like fun right? Hell no. It sucked ass. While trying to gasp for breath, Lynette the aerobics instructor spat abuse at use telling us quitting was for losers. Well lose this bitch (since you can’t see what I’m doing I’ll tell you. I’m holding up my middle fingers). My I take kickboxing cardio, spin class and water aerobics, and each of those instructors are tough, but encouraging, they don’t make you feel bad for having a truck stop booty, but evil Lynette makes you wish you weren’t born with her perfect ass, pert breasts, tiny waist and perfect white teeth. I hate that bitch, and if I’d had the engery to wait around for her after class, I just might have been forced to kick her ass, but as it stood, I had to drag myself to my car and and then treat myself to a nice soak in the tub until my boobies shiveled to raisins and that’s not an easy feat. Anyway, I’m wondering if Lynette is just the kick in the ass I need, and no pain no gain and all that jazz….well on the other hand, f*uck that.

I would like to sincerely apologize to Miss Lena Matthews. Lena did not exactly say my site was ugly, although she did imply it. :-D I humbly throw myself at her mercy. I beg her not to reveal my dirty little secret. She is all that is good and kind. Lena is great. She is super. I wish I could be more like her. I am slime.

My New Site

What do you think about? Isn’t it beautiful. I owe it to Lena Matthews because she told me my website sucked so it motivated me to finally getting it updated. I didn’t think my website sucked before, it was just in the beginning process is all, and I think my friend who set it up is awesome. He does beautiful websites, he’s just a busy man. So I have a few people to thank for my beautiful site, Dave, thanks for laying the foundation. Lena, thanks for giving me the kick in the ass I needed, to The Diva (Jacque) thanks for putting up with my crap for the past couple weeks and designing this lovely site, and my snuggle bear, thanks for not telling me I was getting on your nerves when I was freaking out about my site. :-D Welcome to Eden!!!

Yea, so far I’ve raised 100 bucks and since I’m getting it matched from my company, that makes 200 bucks. WHOO HOO I still have a bit to go before I reach my goal, but I think I’m off to a good start. All the funds are being raised for Habitat for Humanity, because they will need a lot of money to help in the rebuilding effort. I know that my goal of raising five hundred dollars may not put a dent in what is needed, but if we all pitch in, every little bit starts adding up. I would like to thank all of the authors who have donated books to help the cause. Some people say that there are no more hero’s but I think we can all be heroes in times like these. My heroes are those giving their time and people who are opening their homes to all the displaced families, people who are giving a few bucks even though they could use it themselves, the counselors, the organizers, and the people on boats looking for survivors. God bless them all.

In other news, I joined a gym. I have seen the face of evil and her name is Lisa, an aerobics instructor at the gym I joined. Yea, I need to get in shape to stop the excess jigglage. I took a kickboxing cardio class and every woman there was like 90 pounds. I felt like a big lug. By the end of the class, I nearly coughed up a lung. Now I’m doing water aerobics. As I was doing it I kept laughing as I thought how easy it was but when I stepped out of the pool, my legs felt like stones. My legs are still sore like a son of a bitch, but the burning question is, will I go back. Yes, I know, I’m a glutton for punishment, but I would rather feel the discomfort now than a heart attack or diabetes down the road. Know what I mean. Of course, I had a bag of M&Ms today, but that’s another story. *sigh*

Niccolo’s Witch

Okay, I got my fourth angry email today about Niccolo’s Witch since the cover has been posted on my website. I promise, it’s on it’s way. It will be out on the 27th and while I’m so glad that people are anxiously waiting on the sequel to GianMarco’s Muse. Please…no death threats. LOL Literally, this is what one reader wrote to me word for word:

(Permission granted by author)

Dear Ms. Vaughn:

I really enjoyed GianMarco’s Muse however it came out in March and it is now September. You’ve had the cover to Niccolo’s Witch posted on your website for over two months now. It’s not very nice of you to tease your fans like that. I could just kill you. Please put me out of my misery and tell me when this f**kin’ story will be out.

You Fan,
XXXX

Oh, but it doesn’t end there. Here is a delightful letter I got a couple weeks ago.

(Permission granted by author)

Eve,

Let me start out by saying that I am a huge fan of your work. I especially loved Blood Brothers. You have been saying for months that Niccolo’s Witch is coming out, yet you have other releases coming out. You really ought to work on the stories that your fans want. Your other stories are okay, but I want you to hurry up with the Blood Brothers series. Do you have an actual release date yet?

Humbly yours,

XXXX

LOL, I love the way she signed the ending humbly. I love my readers I really do because I think they all rock. I enjoy the people on my yahoo group too because they’re funny and wild and they motivate me to keep writing. Thanks to everyone for all your tremendous support. I promise all my readers that I will keep pushing out the stories as long as you want them and always feel free to contact me. I’d love to hear from you all.

Love,

Eve

P.S.
The cover for Romeo Unleashed will be posted on my website in the next few weeks, I promise there won’t be as big a gap this time around.

I will be announcing my fundraising efforts on my group within the next day or so, because my company will match my donations dollar for dollar, I will be collecting funds to go to charity. As a special thanks those who donate at least five buck will get a free download, I have thirty authors who have agreed to donate their books, even a couple of print authors who will give me signed copies of their books. I’m pretty excited about this. If you’re interested in the details, check out my website or visit my yahoo group for details. Every little bit helps.
