My night at the movies

So the hubby decided to pull me out of the writing cave last night. Our kids had gone their separate ways and we were alone. A movie sounded like a great plan.

Sophie : What just came out?
Hubby : There's a lot of stuff out. How about Crazy, Stupid Love?
Sophie : No romance. I need a change. What else?
Hubby : The Help just came out.
Sophie : Awesome. Is it about a hot cabana boy?
Hubby: Uhm. No. It is not about a hot cabana boy. What's wrong with you?
Sophie: Okay. No hot cabana boy. Does the help get eaten by an irradiated shark?
Hubby stares.
Sophie : Does the help get mauled by an escaped experiment gone awry resulting in a combo of man and mosquito?
Hubby : Sophie, this isn't a Saturday night Sci-Fi movie. It's a contemplative drama about race relations in the south.
Sophie : And no one gets eaten and no hot guys are wearing short shorts?
Hubby : Nope. Not a one. Have you ever noticed that your admiration for films goes up in relation to the amount of times the male lead takes off his clothes?
Sophie : Untrue. I just prefer a little action in my films. So The Help is out.
Hubby sighs : Rise of the Apes it is then.

And you know what - Rise of the Apes wasn't half bad. I cheered for the apes of course because all the humans in the film were assholes. All in all a good night.

And I saw a preview for Conan the Barbarian. Now that looks like a film with an impressive plot. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

What I'm Working On Now

Hello everyone! I wanted to update you on what I'm doing right now.

I've started plotting Texas Sirens 5. The tentative title is Siren in Waiting. This is Aidan's brother, Bo O'Malley's book. I know a lot of you will wonder why book five isn't Leo's book. I promise Leo's book is coming, but I wanted to introduce you to Leo's heroine before his book. She appears in Siren in Waiting, along with Aidan, Lucas, and Lexi. There might be a couple of surprises pop up, too.

After I finish Siren in Waiting, I plan to delve right into Found in Bliss. It's Caleb, Alexei, and Holly's book. I can't wait to get back to Bliss.

I hope to have both books out by the end of the year. I'll be posting occasional teasers here, so check back regularly.
