Hard Sun





So I just returned from a long, relaxing weekend in beautiful and sunny Scottsdale, Arizona where I hung by the pool, shopped a little, ate a lot, and saw lots of stuff like this:





And this:





And while I was there my awesome editor sent me the new cover for my May 2008 release, CRUEL SUMMER, and I absolutely LOVE it!! But since there may be a few minor tweaks I will wait for the final product before I post it here.

And the funny thing is, in the book, the main character, Colby, is faced with the prospect of moving to Arizona and she FREAKS! Whereas I really didn't want to leave because it's just so dang peaceful in the desert. . .

What about you-- what are some places you've visited that you were reluctant to leave?

Oh, I can relate.
When I went to Paris, everything was so beautiful, with the lights and the essences of romance. It was breath taking, plus the Disneyland wasn't half bad either.

:D

I didn't want to leave Italy--everything about it was wonderful--the wine, the men, the scenery, the men...

Hey Blu Chip-
Paris is one of my favorite cities-- I love everything about it-- thought I've yet to go to Disneyland!

Hey Brooke-
Yup, that's where all the gorgeous ones are!

Some parts of New Zealand are so breathtakingly beautiful you could stay there forever.
