My birthday weekend is over. There was some good, some better, some best. I’m both gratified and grateful that readers seem to be reading Beauty and the Feast. This is a story I loved telling, a book I worked night and day to get just right. So did Jaye Manus, my editor-producer/director, and Lex at Winterheart Design who put up with my cover-fussing.
This contemporary romantic comedy is free for two more days.
A Game of Thrones was much better this week. The show works when the focus remains on a few characters at a time, rather than trying to somehow integrate all the primary characters at once. I was prepared to bail if this episode was nothing more than gratuitous nudity and feigned sex. I mean, that’s all well and good, but I need more substance. Tyrion Lannister and Arya Stark rock big time.
This promises to be a hectic week as I’m heading to Boston and then onto Maine on Friday. But, I will be right here tomorrow.
Thanks, all, for the birthday wishes and poems and jokes and pictures. You are the best.

Congrats on the success of Beauty and the Feast. It is a great book.
I haven’t watched Game of Thrones yet. I’m glad it was a sex fest.
Hope your good Birthday weekend continues into the week…
Do I take it you and Penny will be mixing Martini’s later in the week, shall we head for cover?

YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!
Yay for your book kicking ass! Yay for coming to Boston! (I don’t watch GOT so I can’t “yay” for that one…hee hee).
YAY!!!! Can’t wait to see you!
That was so much fun, I’m sorry it’s over. Sure you don’t want to go for TWO birthdays this year? (like kids-”I’m five and a HALF.”) Main birthday, half birthday. Party all the time!
Not a GoT watcher either. So I can’t even harass you about it
*checking watch* is it time for TWD yet?
Rest up and get ready for more fun this week!
XXOO Kat
I’ll try, Kat!
Jaye, I can’t wait for TWD because even when I’m screaming at the television, I love the show! Oh my poor Shane! One thing I don’t need is two birthdays a year. Yuck.
Hey, Pen, yes, I’ll be there with bells on! And thanks!
Penny will be mixing martinis, Tom. I’ll be drunk and mixing metaphors.
Thanks, Amber. I was very glad it wasn’t a sex fest and I suspect that’s what you mean!
Congrats on the book..I’m so happy that people are reading it..You are an amazing author.
Congratulations on the success of Beauty and the Feast!!
I love Game of Thrones. The books were fantastic so I can’t wait to see some of the stuff that is coming up on the show. I think knowing what is ahead is what keeps me hanging in through the not as good episodes.
Thank you, Savannah. So sweet!
Thanks for stopping by, Kimber, and the nice words!
I thought it was the 28th! Good thing your bed is already made! I will send directions. S
