Happy Midweek Y'all!

Working it out…

• Thank you so much to everyone who voted, Mentioned, Retweeted and Shared in the book cover contest! The winner was Aine Massie...check out her fabulous site here! And a big thank you to Danielle Fine for offering such a fantastic giveaway!
• Starting on Friday, October 26 I'll be participating in the YA Mythology Hop and Giveaway!!! My amazing virtual assistant, Florence Price, is setting that up. Check here for her website. More information to come...
• Omigosh, iHeart this so much (read full review here for Witch Way to Turn)... Totally wanna eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and stare at my work-in-progress now!! "Karen Y. Bynum is to YA Paranormal what peanut butter is to chocolate--they just fit and create all sorts of lusciousness!" 

Hearing voices…

• Some of the constructive crits I received from the contests I've entered Running From Shadows into has said I need a little more setting description... I'll be working on that soon.
• My editor currently has Witch Way book #2! Will keep you posted on how edits are going :) Excited and nervous. Eep! lol
• Here's a teaser from book #2 I'm super happy with (as always, no spoilers to book #1 or #2).
• (Myles's POV) Myles let himself feel her emotions. Briefly. He’d been fighting it, not wanting to share any part of this with her. But it might benefit him to know his enemy better. Tucking away his thoughts of Breena, he let the witch’s feelings pulse through his blood. Horny. Angry. Greedy. That was about it. No complexity. Not like his love.  

Waiting game…

Random Alert! Random. Alert. Alert. Alert...
The first three pix aren't so much random as they are romantic...that's an 'r' word! ;) Sunday, October 21st was mine and the hubby's SIX year anniversary!! (Been together since the 11th grade when I broke my foot playing volleyball and had to be rushed to the hospital. He got to the game, couldn't find me and was frantically searching for me. It totally scared him into dating me! lol The next day he asked me out.) Soo, back to our anniversary...we went out to brunch at a special little place and had the patio all to ourselves. So nice! Oh, and apparently I'm weird cos I wanted scrambled eggs instead of nasty runny eggs with my steak and eggs...at least that's what the hubby tells me! :P

Me and the hubby. Omigosh, I love hats! Any day that I don't have to wash my hair is a WIN. Just sayin ;)

Had the patio all to ourselves. Chilly day with a nice fire going. Le sigh.

Just another view of the patio. What? You know I'm random :P

And because you require your random-picture-action...here it is :) Me at Target, using the Force to make the hubby take this picture. Bwahaha I have an addiction to graphic t-shirts. Just in case you didn't know that! Uh, and iHeart Star Wars...like super bad!
