Anne Lange gave to me…..
A Shine On Award.
Sorry, were you all expecting to see something else….Something like..
A Special Pre Release Anne Lange and Shehanne Giveaway
a naughty version of a certain song? It’s okay Anne, there’s no need to regret that lovely email you sent me this morning saying how glad you were to be doing this with me. You should know by now I NEVER do things properly. And if you want organization folks you need to visit Anne. http://authorannelange.com/2013/12/09/first-day-of-christmas/
She’s even got nice photo up of her giveaway while right now I don’t even have a giveaway. BUT I WILL. Just bear with me, this post is complicated. The basic deal…aren’t you glad to hear there is one… is that Anne and I have new released due out with Etopia Press on the SAME DAY. Yes.
Loving Lady Lazuli (Shehanne)
and
Friends with Benefits (Anne)
And rather than banjo each other out the way —I might lose– we came up with a whizzo idea. To rewrite the 12 Days of Christmas song line by line, alternatively each day–no weekends– leading up to the Cover reveals on December 24th, when we will also give you the full new version of the thong. 
Sorry. SONG. Goodness did I just give away–talking such things–Anne’s first line? I think I did. So I might as well show you her lovely giveaway.
My lord, I better get something together…..
We’ll also be sharing tidbits about our forthcoming books. So Anne starts over on her blog. TO enter just follow this link and answer a simple question http://authorannelange.com/2013/12/09/first-day-of-christmas/
What is your favourite Christmas Carol? 
That’s a sort of hideous pic of Regency carol singers because Loving Lady Lazuli is set in England in 1809. And Christmas Eve features prominently in the story. More of that later.
Dear author friends, Noelle, Rhonda, Tracey, Charley and Elyzabeth…your posts will all be here on the days between. And as some of these posts are fabulously Christmassy, what continuing treats await you all, to go with the two you’ve already had, you fortunate people……
To return to the Shine On Award– I am impressed that with my gammy, unlettered keyboard I spelt that correctly– to accept it I need to spill 7 things about myself, while linking back to Anne.
You have her blog link above. I also have to pass it to 4 writers of ‘sufficient talent, character, and fortitude’.
Rather than bore you with 7 more useless facts about myself, as well as sharing this blog with Anne, I wanted to take Anne’s and see how much we have in common. Especially as at the weekend there, for the space of a day, we were both on Etopia’s snazzy new website as Rush imprint writers http://www.etopia-press.net/
So. 1 Anne is a couch potato….. Hmm.. I would love to be. I just hardly get the chance!
2 Anne says Pasha to measuring when she bakes….. But does she bake the icing sugar by mistake? Should I even mention last Christmas’s cup cake disaster and how they were on the blog…photoshopped?
Before.
After.
(Nancy Cassidy, Etopia’s Managing Editor asked us for recipes for Facebook recently. needless to say I kept out of that one. TO think Nancy thought I genuinely meant it when I said I would but I would have to photoshop any offering first. )
3 Shoes? Oh yes. I own 100 pairs easy and that’s not counting boots. it is to with owning 2 as a child!
4 I’ve never been to Hedonism in Jamaica.
5 I don’t have three children. I have two and the credited to Hemingway baby shoes not worn line.
6 Dancing? YES!
7. If I could go back to school, the teachers would run a mile. Actually, to go back I’d have had to have gone in the first place.
Ok..So Anne and I do share some things. But not all! Now I want to hand this on for courage and fortitude, to the following writers, some of whom have been calling on every ounce recently.
Catherine Cavendish www.catherinecavendish.com who writes wonderful dark horror. The real McCoy.
Incy Black http://incyblack.weebly.com/ who doesn’t just write with bite, she has it too.
Noelle Clark http://www.noelleclark.net/ who writes wonderful books in wonderful settings.
Faith Ashlin http://faithashlin.blogspot.com/
Faith writes M and M. Okay. But then she forgets she does and she has books out……
Ha ha So more books to coming around Christmas, And a new carol to.
Nice making cup cakes. cupping them in hands and swirl the tongue around the frosting.
Damn what was I thinking .
keep smiling.
Lol…I am Ranting and I am away now to read your blogs too! Hope you will like the 12 days.
Thank you, Shehanne. It may take me a day or two…
No bother. I know you are busy too!
I can only imagine. One brand new red thong. two batteries just in case. 3 minutes of pleasure oh what a carol that will be. Have fun. looking forward to end.
Ranting..I am just glad you behaved over on Anne’s blog!! It must just be here you show your true feathers.!
I always behave. Even here smiling big. Nice black feathers with a touch of grey.
Now Crow what did we say about your beak the other day…Hmmm…But so long as you are smiling.
About the beak. Size matters bigger the better haha caw caw.
Me, forget things? No, that can’t be me. But… just remind me, what am I doing here????
🙂
I…….don’t know!! xxx
Well, I must say, Shey, I’m certainly glad you forewarned me about your cooking skills. I hope you’re not catering Fury and Flint’s wedding. They may both push you off the plank. And what happened to the photo-shopped cupcakes – did you run out of red cherries for the centers? I like cherries. I like sprinkles too.
So we have shoes, kids and dancing in common…oh yeah, and erotic stories, and ahem…sinful minds. I’d say we’re both in good company 🙂
Lol, I never photoshopped them. I got a pal to do it, who is a photographer. He said he had his work cut out , the bloody mess I had made of them. Cheek! Eff and Eff probably would push me off the plank. I have tomorrow’s post done but can’t get the link. Will post it to you asap the post is up though.
What a wonderfully revealing blog post! Thanks! Gosh, we’re all so busy at the moment aren’t we? Shey, are you serious about having 100+ pairs of shoes?? OMG! I can relate to kids, dancing, cooking failures, but not shoes. Will reveal all when I respond to Anne’s kind award to myself… soon.
lol well I do!! I had an ‘impoverished’ childhood that way.
Well Shehanne, cooking is not for me! my husband is the cook at home and I love it that way. wow, you have a 100 pairs of shoes, I wouldn’t know where to put them all! lol. I haven’t read, yet, your books, but would loved to!
Hello Nicole, how lovely to see you here. lucky you…a husband who cooks instead of one who is long suffering. I can cook but my baking is in a class of its own! A Z minus. Last year I baked the icing sugar by mistake, then there was the biz of the broccoli soup I thought was mushy peas and I put it on the steak. But glad to meet a kindred spirit. Shoes? I have a cupboard in the spare room and I have a wardrobe there too. I also have the floor, the hall cupboard and, when no-one is looking the bookcases… It is lovely to meet you and it is very kind of you to want to read my books
Would it help make my beak smaller if i said i can bake 😀
If it is the truth…of course it would Ranting! Right coming t o your house soon eh girls????
Well I make a cracking apple pie if I might say so myself. And if one likes the muffins, chocolate brownies or scones. i think i can dig a recipe up.
Ok you are on.! I will be in touch at the weekend and you can bring your recipes over here to the blog next week ok!! A little Christmas poem if you have one too!
Uh you want a recipe for in one of your blogs? giving another shot at your cupcakes? And Cristmas poem. right. Maybe it will come to me.
yes and I will be in ti9uch to get these recipes too x
