**UPDATE** LIVE Flockings: March 25th Lisa Kleypas & April 5th Sherry Thomas

March 25, 2008

Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas**UPDATE**  Sybil and Lawson are in Pearland/Houston right now, meeting with Lisa Kleypas.  If you have any questions you want them to ask Lisa, please be sure to put them in the comments to this post!

If you're near Pearland, TX or Houston, TX on March 25th, join Lawson and I on March 25th (a.k.a. TOMORROW) as we flock** (think stalk with feathers and permission) Lisa Kleypas at two signings:

- 1-3pm, we'll be at the new "super" HEB in PEARLAND, TEXAS - it's like a combination of Central Market, a book store, and home entertainment store all in one. If you think I just took on an accent I did, really really I did.  Nora Roberts did one of these, I think.

- 7pm in HOUSTON at the Barnes & Noble in the Champions area.

Guest Author Day: Sherry Thomas ponders Too Old or Not Old Enough?

March 24, 2008

Private Arrangements by Sherry Thomasby Sherry Thomas

I read romance sites and blogs and have for a long time. Becoming a publish author myself, however, means that from time to time I suddenly run into mentions of my name or my book when I’m least expecting it.

The first time it happened it nearly gave me a heart attack. I was reading this opinion piece on DearAuthor.com, about the truths and perceptions of historical accuracy, when I came across this paragraph:

Private Arrangements by Sherry ThomasAlicia’s review of Private Arrangements by Sherry Thomas
Historical romance released by Bantam Books 25 Mar 08

I went into this book knowing nothing except that it was a romance and I could count on getting a happy ending. It's a good thing I knew that, though, because this couple put me through the wringer.

Review: Private Arrangements by Sherry Thomas

Private Arrangements by Sherry ThomasLawson's review of Private Arrangements by Sherry Thomas
Historical romance released by Bantam Books 25 Mar 08

It's a hard thing to do, write a review. After reading Private Arrangements, it's even more difficult of a review to write. I don't want to leave the assumption that there aren't any good things about it. It's a very well written story. The language is smart and there aren't any "beat this into the reader's head" type of themes. Both the hero and heroine are characterized extremely well and don't do anything that goes against the grain of their characters. But. . . Read more

12 Totally Awesome Old Dudes I'd Totally Date if I Were Single and They Available/Nonfictional

dalai-lama.jpg 1. The Dalai Lama. Oh teach me the Noble Truths, Your Holiness.

paul-newman.jpg 2. Paul Newman. I like his sauces.  [Ed.: Looks like Paul Newman "dresses to the left."]

morgan-freeman.jpg 3. Morgan Freeman. Gravitas is hawt!

kofi-annan.jpg 4. Kofi Annan. I wanted to be Secretary General of the UN when I was a kid, what can I say?

george-lucas.jpg 5. George Lucas. I'll always have a soft spot for Uncle George.

vladimir-putin.jpg 6. Vladimir Putin. Those cold eyes, that KGB past, he scares me shitless. I know, it's so wrong, so wrong.

jacques-pepin.JPG 7. Jacques Pepin. He has such a gentle, old-world quality about him.

nelson-mandela.jpg 8. Nelson Mandela. I cannot admire this man enough.

darth-vader.jpg 9. Darth Vader. See 6. Vladmir Putin. This is about power, ladies. The ultimate aphrodisiac. (Not sure whether he still has the equipment left after his dunk in the lava tank, but I'm willing to find out.)

aragorn.jpg 10. Aragorn. He is about 90 years old during the time frame of the Lord of the Rings. I'll take you, Grandpa Elessar.

stephen-king.jpg 11. Stephen King. I like what he says about his wife and his marriage.

legolas.jpg 12. Hard to decide. Warren Buffett is rich and smart. Steven Spielberg seems like such a nice person. The Weinstein brothers would be interesting to have to dinner. But you know what, I'll take Legolas (age approximately 3000) in the end. Because this is my duodecimal, and I'm allowed to be as shallow as a puddle when it hasn't rained for a month.holly.jpg

What about you - what unconventional and older guy is on YOUR "to do" list?
