I'm Multitasking!

I want to thank everyone who came to my cancel this weekend. Lycaon's Lair was really hopping on my birthday. The authors came out in force with their excerpts. Lots of ladies shared hottie pics. One lucky reader will receive a five dollar gift certificate to Fictionwise; one author will receive a banner ad at Coffee Time Romance. The winner of the five dollar gift certificate is Robin2. The winner of the banner ad is Megan Rose.

To write this blog, I am using a dictation devise called Dragon naturally speaking. My hubby got it for me for my birthday. I decided to see how well I could multitask using the device. So I set my laptop on the counter and my ski glider in front of it. Now I am blogging and working out at the same time. Because this device is not used to my Southern slang, it is taking longer than usual to write this blog. The upside is that I am doing two things at once. Once this devise has adjusted to my speech patterns, it's supposed to be faster than typing. They devise is not the only thing that has to be trained. I am having to train myself not to slur words together, which I didn't even realize I was doing before I got the devise. This morning on the way to work, I looked it up in my car. I talked most of the way to work, and wrote over 500 words. Because I wasn't looking at the screen. I have a lot of typos to correct; however, the meat of the prologue of my new story is written. I had writer's block on the way home, so I brainstormed aloud. I now have detailed notes about my hero about my heroine and about the story itself. So far, I'm pretty impressed with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I'll keep you posted as to how well this thing works over the next few months. I have now finished, a blog post and a 30 minute workout all at the same time. Not that it took Dragon NaturallySpeaking 30 minutes to dictate this post. I just seem to have a harder time coming up with the words when I have to say them out loud, LOL. I guess that's another thing I have to train myself to do.

Come Party With CJ England


YOU ARE INVITED TO A PARTY

On February 11th, 2006 I had my first book published. I will never forget the thrill when I saw the picture of Hot Tubs and Hot Hunks up on the website for the first time. Now I have nine books published, with five making the bestseller list, and two going to #1Bestsellers!

I have thirteen other contracted books due out, have won a Canadian
Romance and Erotic Publisher's Choice Award
, won a couple of Reader's Choice Awards, and now I've been nominated for Paranormal Romance Debut Author of 2006 in the prestigious PEARL Awards.

All in all, it's been a pretty darn good first year. But, I couldn't have done it without all of you. All of you who have supported me by your e-mails, your fan letters, your reviews and by purchasing my books.

Since I can't thank each of you individually, I decided to throw a blow-out party instead! On February 11, the anniversary of my first release, I invite you all to come and party with me on my chat list.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CJsaysFollowYourDreams/

There will be all kinds of excerpts, jokes, fun and of course my own special hunks to tempt and tease you. I will be giving away one of each of my books during the day, PLUS one lucky winner will get autographed copies of both my print books! How about that???

In addition to my wonderful excerpts, I am inviting a bunch of other authors to come and help me celebrate the day. They will have their own fun stuff to share with you, and I know it will be a blast!

So mark your calendar now, and tell your friends. Why? Because the person who brings the most new friends to the party gets another special prize. The choice of any three book downloads they want!!!!

And if you already have my books...you get the next three e-book releases, absolutely free!!! Can't beat that with a stick!!!!

I know this will be a great time. Pat will dance on the bar, and Emma will regale us with more Miss WOW stories and who knows...maybe Derek will show us his thong picture again! WooHoo!!!!

Plus, I have a whole bunch of wonderful author and artist friends coming to help me celebrate! Listen to this great list...

Annmarie Ortega, Ann Cory, Anne Rainey, Cassidy McKay, Bryn Colvin, Rod Casteel, Tom of Copperage, Dahlia Rose, D. Musgrave, Jude Mason, Pennie Morgan, Rachel, Jaime Hill, Megan Rose, Rene Walden, K.L. Bjork, Terri Pray, and Trista Bane.

And maybe more!!!!!!!

So Come One! Come All! This is as much your party as mine! Come celebrate the bestest year of my life and take a bow...cause you are the reason for it!


Blessings to you all,

CJ England

Snoopy Dance!

I'm so excited to be a Sorceress! I foresee wonderful things happening with this group!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Robin. I write under the pen name Trista Bane, so feel free to call me Trista. I normally write paranormal erotic romances, but I do have a contemporary, sweet romance (with fantasy elements) currently available for free download at Twilight Fantasies Publications. The story is called Petals in the Snow.

Besides Petals, I have three other works published. Diary of Alexis originally appeared in an anthology that has been pulled by the publisher because other authors pulled their works. It will be re-released under a new name later this year. The sequel, Alyssa's Choice, is scheduled to release on May 2, 2007. Song of Seduction is a vampire paranormal erotic romance. It features menage scenes, and is currently available at Silk's Vault Publishing. Blood of Lycaon: Dream Lover is also available now from Silk's Vault Publishing. It is the first in the Blood of Lycaon series. The second, Alanda's Trust, is expected to be released this year.

I live in Northeast Arkansas with my wonderful husband, Mack, and our three children. Our daughter is 16 (going on thirty), our oldest boy is twelve, and our youngest boy is turning eight this weekend. So, I get to throw a party and eat my favorite food-- Birthday Cake! (big grin)

I teach English (9th and 10th grades) and Creative Writing (11th and 12th grades) at an area high school. My favorite topics to teach (besides Creative Writing, lol) are fantasy and mythology. I blend my love for fantasy and mythology into my writing. Vampire Trinity, which is currently under contract with Venus Press (no word yet on a release date), is the perfect example of how much I love mythology. I also love teaching Shakespeare! No. Really! I swear! I really do love teaching it. This year, I made a video featuring clips from the movie of Romeo and Juliet and the song "Far Away" from Nickleback. My students LOVED it!

I also teach English Composition I and English Composition II (and sometimes World Literature I and World Literature II) at the local college. During the school year, I only teach one class per semester. I often teach more than one during the summer. I have an MSE in English, and I'm working part-time on my MSE in School Counseling. I guess I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, lol.

My hubby is my high school sweetheart! I love him with all my heart. He and my children are my world. My husband is not only my life-partner, but my business partner as well. He's always supported me in my writing, and has read every story I've written! I'm very lucky to have him and my children. And I'm very lucky to have such wonderful friends as CJ, Annmarie and Cassidy!

So, who wants to join me in a Snoopy Dance?
