By Cambria Dillon

Happy Release Tuesday! Here’s a couple of sexy romps for you to check out: the Divalicious Dawn Halliday’s HIGHLAND OBSESSION and fellow Marylander Fae Sutherland’s LETTING IN THE LIGHT. Enjoy!

Letting in the Light by Fae Sutherland

On sale now at Amber Quill Press!

When Rowan Lee arrived in small, liberal Provincetown, he heard tales of the eccentric, brilliant, possibly insane Finnegan Clark. A world-famous mystery writer, Finnegan’s been to the top of the bestseller list more times than anyone can count. It’s about the only place he goes, sequestered away in his mansion by the sea.

Enter Rowan. The free-spirited lovechild of aging hippies, Rowan believes all anyone needs is love, and when he makes a delivery to Finn’s mansion and meets the man himself, it’s infatuation at first sight. Not to mention lust. Never mind that Finn’s twice his age and snarls at him more than he speaks to him.

All Rowan wants is to make the world a better place, one person at a time, but all Finn wants is to be left alone. Sparks fly, and if Rowan can’t break Finn’s walls down, he’ll burn them down…one sizzling encounter at a time…

 Highland Obsession by Dawn Halliday

In the Scottish Highlands, two warriors are about to clash over a woman of passion…

They were the unlikeliest of friends debauching their way through London: The Earl of Camdonn, a nobleman of vast wealth and power, and Scottish laird Alan MacDonald, a respected Jacobite with ambitions of his own.

But their friendship is destroyed when Alan marries the beautiful Sorcha Stewart—only to witness Cam kidnap her from their bedroom. Then Alan learns the truth: his bride was not an innocent. She took a lover before him—his friend—who taught her the ways of pleasure.

Now, Alan will do anything to get his wife back. Cam fights to redeem his honor, even as he refuses to give up his desire. Torn between love and duty, Sorcha must watch as the two men she desires go to war over her. And when the battle lines are drawn, all three lovers are lured into a triangle of forbidden passions…

Goals? What goals?

By Cambria Dillon

Hello. My name is Cambria and I’m a non-goal maker. (Insert round of applause here.)

I guess if I were being technical though, I could say I’m a non-goal completer rather than a maker because I do have accomplishments in mind and realize what I need to do to get there. But you won’t find any fancy Goal Charts or To-Do Lists, or Gold Stars, or anything that’s remotely outlined in my world. If you haven’t noticed from previous posts, I tend to shy away from organization.

The reason why I think I’m a non-goal completer isn’t because I don’t understand the value or necessity of it, but because I lack the follow-through. Maybe there’s something wired wrong in my noggin or maybe it’s, I dunno—life—that gets in the way of completing my goals. But I find that if I skip one day with the promise of making it up the next and I don’t, then it snowballs until I’m so behind that I just say, “The heck with it” and go off to the next thing.

Somehow though, I manage to get things done even if I don’t do it by way of hard goals. My admiration is high for those goal makers out there. You know who you are— you make a list, follow it daily, and cross it off when the task is complete then repeat and repeat until at the end of the week, or month, or year, you breathe a sigh of self-satisfaction and look at us non-goal makers and say, “Neener, neener.”

Well, in the theme of my post last week of trying new things, I’ve decided to…drum roll please…MAKE A GOAL and FINISH IT. Astonishing, I know.  What I’ve done to make myself accountable is post a thread in Romance Divas with my own personal goals.

Here they are:

1. Write at least 500 words a day. Every day.
2. Shut off internal editor
3. Do not get sidetracked by shiny new web site
4. Have first draft completed by Oct. 28
5. Blog in advance so as not to get sidetracked by shiny new web site (see above)

Note: I can already say with certainty that I’ve already failed miserably with #3. What can I say? It’s so pretty, and shiny, and new…And #2 is real close to joining the ranks of the non-completed as well. But I’m happy to report I’ve written MORE than 500 words a day since Friday, which is when I made these goals. (And yes, you may pat me on the back.)

In addition to the above goals, I’m also participating in the Divas August NaNoWriMo (nothing officially tied to the real NaNoWriMo, but just a fun thing to stay motivated). I’ve pledged to write 30K for the month and am happy to say—so far, so good.

So, tell me…are you a fellow non-goal maker/completer or a goal maker?
