I just stopped by this blog and realized it has not been updated since last year! Yikes. I guess we really need to get to promoting over here.
What are you looking forward to this year?
I am looking forward to moving from California back to the East Coast, Virginia in May! I can't wait to get involved with some romance chapters and conventions!

Why I love Tease Publishing
I have been a Tease Publishing author since the beginning. Why do I stay? Because I love it. Hmm, that may not be clear enough for most people who are not part of the Tease family.
Tease is a place that let's me be the author I want to be, the author I aspire to be and the one I can be. In 2007, when I came to Tease I was a new and budding erotica author. I was trying to get a firm stance on my plot of land in the erotic romance writing world. I wasn't sure of much, but that I wanted to write erotica.
Tease allowed me to stretch my wings, try a few new things, some things worked for me... some things worked even better. There was no pressure. If I wanted to write one book a year because my family responsibilities and the military didn't give me space to write more, I could. If I thought I wanted to learn about a new genre (BDSM) and incorporate it, I could.
The editing team was great and friendly. I've been to pub houses where I feel like crap after I get my edits back and wonder if I should still be a writer. However, that was never the case at Tease. Even when being corrected, guided and instructed it was done with the kindness and intent to help me grow. Tease allowed me to build and establish my readership.
Hell, what other publisher do you know that when you have done something well they post it on the home page? That means an award, a good review for one of your books or even that you did an interview somewhere. Now that is concern for their authors, they post the accomplishments of their authors for the world to see. Hell, yeah!!
Oh, yeah, I love this place. I have not even touched the cover artist department. I mean, damn, have you seen what they can do? Just look to my left and my right (of the posting that is..LOL). Someone that listens to the author and produces the same vision and MORE.
Finally, author to author, I love Tease. I can be at ANY conference and see a fellow Tease author and there is a huge smile, hug and generally someone that wants to know how I'm doing. This is the same response for past or present Tease authors. The blood of the Tease family never stops beating. At Tease you want to see your fellow authors branch out and do well. That is the beauty of being at a small house that has no desire to be bigger than your 20 person contact list.
Enough said!

Contests, Interview, Conference, & a Booksigning
So many things are happening. It’s wild here. And yes, while I’m typing the kitties Bella and Buffy have just run over my body.
Anyway I’m having contest and a fun interview over at Vampires Anonymous. Visit http://nisykitty.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/the-stormy-love-life-of-laura-cordelais-by-susan-hanniford-crowley-interviewcontest/comment-page-1/#comment-53 and follow the directions. The contest is open to residents of the US and Canada only and ends midnight on May 9th. You can only enter at Vampires Anonymous.
I’m writing like a mad woman—steam roller—kitties gone wild and crazy. I think you get picture. I’m having a great time.
I’m going to Fiction Fest at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in North Haven, Connecticut, on Saturday, May 14th. http://toniandrews.com/FictionFest.htm There’s still time to register for the most amazing one day writer’s conference famous for its practical education.

I’m sure I’m doing more. I just can’t think of it right now! I’m wild. Oh, oh! The vampires are getting restless.

Allow Me to Introduce You to…
I've teased and hinted, but never told you that Marsyas is the latest Ancient Greek mythological figure to be treated to a fresh ending, actually fresh start would be more apt, but then again, that is what the Mythological Messes Redux series is all about, however, I haven't shown you the man himself.
So, without any further ado, let me introduce you to the real ipotane, Marsyas. To the right is a picture from the Getty Collection of a remnant that also happens to be one of my all time favorite pieces of art.
He isn't big, less than 20", and the artist added horns which the real Marsyas didn't have, however, the man is very sexy as sin and I came to that conclusion long before I knew his sad tale.
