So I’ve hinted at a major ‘thing’ happening in my life that has stopped me from doing a lot of things, namely blogging *grin* and writing. Well I can finally reveal what that something is.

I’m moving back to Sydney!!!!!!

Yep, Hubby’s work is moving us back and this year when we board the plane to go home for Christmas it’ll be for good. Well good as in so far as UPS decides it is. *grin* So there you have it, the big fat ugly time sucker that has consumed every waking and sleeping moment for the last few weeks. Between now and the first week in Feb next year my life is going to one big jumble of packing and unpacking. Ugh!

Right about now I could do with a time machine and yes I know it’s not nice to wish your life away but I really, really wish it was February NOW!!

Edited to add we leave Singapore on the 17th of December.

I got nothing! Well no exactly nothing but I haven’t had time to write that’s for sure. There are many things going on around here that keep distracting me. *sigh* I know, I need to make time but by the time I get around to thinking about it I’m exhausted. Got a bit of a break this afternoon only I didn’t manage a single word on the third book in the coyote series. I guess tomorrow is another day.

And because I don’t have much to say I’ll point you to the International Heat blog where Aussie author Sami Lee has stopped in for a chat. She has a new release out today with Samhain Publishing. Be sure to check out all her books as Ms. Lee writes them hawt! In fact I do believe that’s here latest hero calling me now. *grin* Excuse me while I go spend some time with Brody.

Woot! NeNe at Fallen Angel Reviews gave One Night In Bangkok 5 Angels!!!

Check out what she had to say – http://fallenangelreviews.com/2009/October/nene-onenightinbangkok.htm

NeNe isn’t the first to mention getting a bit more of Tom and Beth. Might have to think about that in the future. *grin*

Squueeeeeeeee……………

I’m loving the great reviews at the moment.

Mickey over at You Gotta Read Reviews has given Singapore Fling their highest rating – You Gotta Read!

I haven’t stopped smiling since I got the notification! I can’t decide which part of her review I like the most, but here’s a snippet -

“As a novella, one expects an abbreviated story, but Ms. Cahill manages to pack enough emotion, plot and characterization in her story to equal the depth of War and Peace.”

Check out the full review HERE!!

I’m blogging at International Heat today. Come check out what I have to say about words.

Two of my very good friends, Nicole Austin and Jayne Rylon, have new releases this week. They’re both out at Ellora’s Cave. I’ve had the pleasure of reading both and let me tell you it’s money well spent if you pick these up.

Cat’s Meow by Nicole Austin

Predators, Book One

Micah Lasiter won’t let age or physical wear and tear slow him down. Presented with the chance to be stronger than ever before, he doesn’t hesitate to join the Predator Project—not that refusing is an option. Too bad nobody warned him about the possible side effects.

Dr. Rebecca Southerby works with cats. Big cats. She’s not sure why a scientific research organization wants a zoologist on staff but the great perks make it easy to overlook a few peculiarities. What’s shocking is finding her one-night stand at the secret lab and discovering how much he’s changed.

Ensnared in a strange new reality, they’ll have to work together to bring down the corrupt organization and untangle a web of secrets with the power to either bind them together—or kill them.

Phoenix Incantation by Jayne Rylon

Amystia didn’t think anything could be hotter than five-thousand wild years of passion with the most powerful vampire on Earth. Then she and her mate, King Dagan, began a steamy affair with his closest advisor. Threesomes with her two lovers were never supposed to be more than fun but, somehow, both her and Dagan’s feelings have blossomed into something deeper than respect and friendship for Warren.

As they are on the cusp of proposing a more permanent relationship, a terrible accident destroys all plans for the future. Dagan’s life hangs in the balance. In a desperate bid to save him, Amystia and Warren invoke ancient magic through a steamy ritual. If they fail, they’ll all be doomed to eternal darkness. If they succeed, can their eternal love rise from the ashes?

Yay. I got my first review for Singapore Fling. Gillyflower over at Whipped Cream Erotic Reviews had some lovely things to say about Singapore Fling but I have to say my favorite is this.

“Singapore Fling opens with one of the most delicious, amazing, detailed, and thorough descriptions of how a woman’s body comes alive with arousal, which sets the scene for a delightful sexual romp.”

If you want to check out the rest of the review go HERE!

Oh my word have things been extremely busy round here. I know I’ve neglected the blog and yes I have a really good reason, I just can’t tell you all what it is yet. *grin* Maybe in a few more weeks but until then I’ll be the mad woman running around chasing her own ass.

I’d love to say my time has been taken up by writing but that would be a lie. Although… Coyote Home is finished AND submitted! Yay me! It’ll be a few weeks until I know anything and with everything going on that’s probably a good thing. I started Coyote Whispers (bk 3) and it’s coming along nicely plus I got a bit done on Coyote Lies, the 4th in the series. If all goes well the whole series should come out next year. Fingers crossed.

In other news the International Heat reader group is going well and you can find me there most days. Come and check out what we have going on – Heat Wave Readers group.

In other writing news I’ve started a series of ‘quickies’ about a strip club set in my home town of Sydney and I’m enjoying getting to play with the characters a lot. Should be fun but I don’t see myself getting the time to finish them before next year. With everything going on I’m lucky to get any writing time but…

Today is GET ORGANIZED DAY!!! Yep, I’m drawing up a plan. Nobody laugh, I know, I never follow the plan but in this case I’ll HAVE to. Otherwise I’ll be in all sorts of bother by the end of the year. Do you know how close that is?? Jeez. I haven’t even thought about Christmas yet. I’m thinking I might postpone it. Any objections to that? No? Good. Christmas is now postponed until further notice. (sshhhh… don’t let the kids hear. *grin*)

So I guess it’s back to organizing.

I’m over at Noble Romance authors blog talking about what inspired my Passport To Passion Collection. Come over and leave a comment.

CLICK HERE!!

In the last 24 hours we’ve had two earth quakes hit below Indonesia which means us in Singapore get a little shaken, not stirred. Our building was built by a construction company from Hong Kong so they know all about making buildings bend and sway in gale force winds, therefore the whole building sways with the tremors. It’s kind of like being on a swing. Only a little less exciting. (I blogged about the first one HERE last night.)

All that excitement aside, I’ve been busy writing (a story I shouldn’t be working on of course) and getting things put together for the new yahoo group the International Heat members are starting. Heat Wave Readers will be where you can find lots of exclusive excerpts, release day parties and heaps of contests. Heat Wave Readers went live today, you can click on the little join button on the right (or the link I put under the name). We’re all really excited about this new venture and hope to see you there.

Over the month of October the members of International Heat have lined up some great contests for you. There is a major contest for every week, plus we’ll also be doing some random drop-in contests, so keep your eye open for those throughout the month as well.

The fine print:

Each week there will be a new MAJOR prize package available to win. Ebooks, banners, gift certificates, book covers. Each prize package will show you what is in that prize. What you see is what you get, so if you already own some of the books in the prize,  you’ll just have to enjoy the ones you don’t have yet. Of course if the prize is a choice of backlist, you’ll get to choose!

MINI contests will be announced throughout the week, and you’ll usually have a day to enter to win. Again, prizes as stated in the announcements.

There’s also a GRAND PRIZE--and WOW, it’s pretty awesome!–that will be drawn on November 1st during our  Heat Wave Beach Party.

Each contest will explain what you have to do to enter.

Hope you enjoy getting to know the members of International Heat during this month and have fun.
