Plot Monkeys & a contest

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

The plot monkeys visited me last night, and they hit me hard. Demanding I write, what might be the hardest thing I have ever attempted to write. Needless to say I’ll be writing in between other projects to rest my poor mind, but I am kind of excited about it.

Now, for a contest. As you know I’m over at Coffee Time Romance for the Reader’s Retreat, on June 19th I’ll be talking about my hobbies in the June Jubilee and I have an author corner over there.

Here’s the fun contest I’m having over there:

This will run the whole month of June. You have until June 30th to answer these fun scavenger hunt questions (you didn’t think it would be easy did you?).

The answers can be found on my website here.

Email me at contact@amyruttan.com with the answers and I’ll choose a random winner on June 30th and post the winner on my website and Twitter. When you email put CTR AR Scavenger Hunt in Re: line so you don’t get lost in spam.

My twitter account is http://www.twitter.com/ruttanamy

I’ll choose 3 random winners, with your choice of an ebook from my backlist.

Here are the questions:

1. What is the name of the plantation in Masque of Desire?

2. Who was Fox’s Bride? (Hint name of heroine).

3. What kind of stone was T’Koh the Rain God found in?

4. What was the name of the resort Pallator Sinclair owned in Hard Candy?

5. What was the name of the neighbor David was in love with?

Now, on with plotting that crazy project. Eep.

Reader’s Retreat

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Yeah, I’ve been absent again. I’ve been the organizer for the Ellora’s Cave and Cerridwen Press authors for the Coffee Time Romance Reader’s Retreat. It’s a month of fun, excerpts, contests with 30+ EC and CP authors … including me.

So come and drop by for the party.

 I’m going to pass out now. LOL!

Come on over

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

I’m at Christine d’Abo’s blog today celebrating her ten for ten plus one. There’s a chance to win one of my EC books.

What’s she been up to?

Friday, April 30th, 2010

It’s been a crazy few days since my last blog post. I finished the last of around 1000 dictated medical reports this week and I’ve been prepping for the CRAZY 8 hour exam this weekend. If I get 85% on my objective and 85% on the transcription part I will be a full fledged medical transcriptionist. It’s a way to earn some extra moula at home. Diapers are NOT cheap, plus we have some home renos we would like to accomplish. I also find transcribing allows me to plot, I seem to daydream when I’m listening to dictation. In my EDJ I was a legal assistant and dealt with this daily.

I’ve also been scheduling guest blogs etc and getting my marketing in order for my upcoming re-release of my series this year.

On the writing front I’m rewriting a middle portion of my 1920’s romance to get it ready to sub, and I’m also busy finishing the 1st draft of my gladiator erotica.

In between all of that I’ve been chasing after James who turned 10 months. He’s crawling, hoisting himself up and I think getting ready to walk. I’m still in shock he’s 10 months. Seriously, where did that year go?

I also got a Sony EReader for my birthday, and so I’ve been reading again. I had a HUGE digital TBR pile, but because of my bad eyes I can’t read them on the computer, so I’m playing catch up on that. I’ve re-read Men In Kilts by Katie MacAlister and Hold by Zannie Adams on my pink Sony. I just finished Sin in Jeans by Ciana Stone (pretty hot actually), and I’m currently reading Vivian Arend’s Granite Lake Wolf Series (forgive me if I just butchered the title I don’t have my reader here beside me at the moment). Next on the reader is Edge of the Storm by Jennifer Leeland.

I’m also going to reread Rhevenge’s story from J.R. Ward to reacquaint me with the last book in the series so I am totally prepped when I get Lover Mine, which should arrive any day.

Anyways, that’s what I’ve been up too. I have some great things coming up so stay tuned! I plan on it being a fun summer.

Cover Goodness

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

A HUGE thanks to Amanda Kelsey from Eternal Press for designing the new cover for Enemy Enchantress. I am so in love with it, and I just got the all clear to post it. WOOT! Amanda captured Aislinn and my vision for my dream cover to a tee. I heart it so much.

Enemy Enchantress is coming from Eternal Press July 7, 2010.

Interview & FREEDOM!

Friday, March 26th, 2010

I was interviewed by a new author on the block, so be sure to come to her blog and leave a comment. This is an author to watch out for too. She is very sweet.

So come visit here.

Today I am packing for my retreat this weekend with Christine d’Abo, Leah Braemel, Kimber Chin, J.K. Coi and Wylie Kinson. I missed the last one because of the baby & the kids, this time nothing is stopping me. YES! I plan to get a couple shorts finished and possibly plot out some new stuff.

I’m very stoked for the freedom from the kiddos this weekend. I love them to bits, but I need a break.

Well, I’m off to pack. In the words of the evil magician from Frosty the Snowman “Busy, busy, busy.” ;-)

Looking forward

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

To the weekend for sure.

I’m going on a little writer’s retreat with some fellow author friends. We plan to write and write and write some more, and I need the break to be honest.

We had one in the fall, but I couldn’t go because the kids all came down with a cold and the baby was still quite young.

This time, I’m going. The baby will be 9 months on Saturday and since DH has left me a few times alone with the three it’s his turn to watch the crawling butterball get into everything. LOL!

I have a bit of a sinus infection, but I don’t care … I’m GOING!

I have plans to finish an erotic UF and my 20’s romance this weekend. I also have the final galley of Enemy Enchantress to read over. Enemy Enchantress, the first book in my Enchantress Series is coming out June 7th from Eternal Press.

I’m in charge of prizes, I’m thinking some Easter themed things. *Muwahahaha*

Anything you’re looking forward to in the near future?

Sorceress from the Sea…round 2!

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I woke up in my haze of sinus infection to find out Eternal Press bought book 2 of my series!!! WOOT!

 Sorceress from the Sea (which was Enchantress: The Sorceress) is coming out in September 2010. This is awesome. I am so pleased it found a home. I think with the series being in flux like it was, I found I couldn’t concentrate on anything else.

Again, I am so pleased to be part of the Eternal Press family and that my series has found a home.

As the details come in I’ll keep you informed. LOL!
