Tag, I’m It

By Ashlyn | Published May 25, 2013

My fellow Starcatcher/Firebreathing Unicorn, Arlene Hittle, has tagged me for a Sunshine Award (greatly needed around here this gray and rainy end-of-May weekend). The Sunshine Award is a lovely sunny flower that bloggers give to other “bloggers who positively and creatively inspire others in the blogosphere.” (Really? Sarcastic little ol’ me? OK, I’ll run with it.)  As with most awards, ‘The Sunshine Award’ comes with a few simple rules:  (1) Thank the person who gave you the award in your blog post.  (2) Do the Q&A below.  (3) Pass on the award to 10 – 12 deserving and inspiring bloggers, inform them and link to their blogs.  Rule 1.

However, my editor side-stepped the question of the man’s identity, leaving me to make up a name for him. In my head he’s Mr. Buns-of-Steel. Now I have it on relatively good authority, having read recaps of past conventions, that cover models attend the RT events, which leads me to my quest….

The Great Weight-Loss Secret

By Ashlyn | Published March 18, 2013

I logged onto Amazon this morning, as you do when you have a book out, to check on my ranking. I know, an author can drive herself nuts doing this, and I promise I’m not checking every hour.  Most of the time anyway… Imagine my shock when I saw that A Most Scandalous Proposal was ranked #4. NUMBER 4!!! OMG, that’s the best I’ve ever seen it. Granted, it was in Books > Health, Fitness & Dieting > Relationships > Mate Seeking which isn’t exactly its proper category, but I’ll take it. And then I got to thinking… My characters are  seeking mates. They are in relationships. And you can use my book as a means to losing weight. Yeah, seriously. Let me tell you how. You don’t need much. Just  a copy of my book and a treadmill. And…
