Yea! Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind is a finalist in the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award!!! Yes, I’m still jazzed. I’ll probably still be jazzed this time next year. I’ve never been a finalist in anything.
I’m counting down the days until Cosmic Sex comes out (Jan 29th). This is the second book in the series and Kia’s story. I love writing hot & sexy comedies. Shoot, I just love writing! This is a great job and one I dreamed about having for a long time. I want to thank everyone for their support.
The best way I know how to say thanks is to give away a copy of Cosmic Sex. All you have to do is make a comment and I’ll pick a winner at 9:00pm central time. Good luck! Oh, and I have an excerpt at my website (the url is at the bottom of this post).

Good Morning Everyone!
I time posted my blog last night because I knew there was no way I’d be up by 6. I’m still working on my first cup of coffee 
. Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi before I get to work.
Hugs,
Karen

Hi Karen,
How is it going with you? Congratulations on your book being a finalist! WOOHOO! What an awesome way to start the new year!
Darn! I got on here to late! I worked late today and didn’t get home until 8:00pm. Plus I live in Indiana so I think I am an hour ahead. Didn’t get on the internet until about 8:30pm. probably 9:30pm. your time. I am always a day late and a dollar short!
