You pet owners know how recognizable that sound is and how quickly it brings you out of a dead sleep (and you non-pet owners are thinking, “Why do you own a dog?”) (Actually, I have two.) I flew out of bed, put Ritter outside in the vain and fruitless hope that he would finish in the woods, and trotted into the kitchen to get supplies. You know, paper towels, damp… 2010-04-23T19:47:00-06:00 http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/christina_dodd_exposes_the_glamour_of_booktour/ http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/christina_dodd_exposes_the_glamour_of_booktour/#When:02:28:00Z People keep asking me why everyone makes jokes about me and bananas. No, it’s not for any nefarious reason you can imagine. Here… Notes from The Barefoot Booktour, a five city tour to promote THE BAREFOOT PRINCESS: Thursday — hop three flights staring at 5:20am on the west coast and ending at 6 pm in Buffalo NY. I leave in the dark and land in the dark. Take a cab to the An Unnamed Really Expensive Hotel. They have ONE valet. The cab sits in line for ten minutes… 2010-03-19T02:28:00-06:00 http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/christina_dodd_treats_you_to_an_extra_excerpt_of_in_bed_with_the_duke/ http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/christina_dodd_treats_you_to_an_extra_excerpt_of_in_bed_with_the_duke/#When:17:03:00Z IN BED WITH THE DUKE is on the shelves, and to tempt you one more time, here’s an extra excerpt, especially for you, with my compliments! The Reaper stared hard at Emma, examining her as if he did not understand her at all, and behind his mask, and in his eyes, she saw desire. Her pulse settled down to a steady, rapid beat … rapid because she was aware of herself in the flimsy nightgown, and of being alone in her bedroom with a man who was very much attracted… 2010-03-02T17:03:00-06:00 http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/girlfriends_just_want_to_have_fun_contest/ http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/girlfriends_just_want_to_have_fun_contest/#When:11:00:00Z Brought to you by CONNIE BROCKWAY, TERESA MEDEIROS, and ELOISA JAMES We had so much fun celebrating our friendship by making our GIRLFRIENDS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAszx2Ge9co ) that we want to give you and your girlfriends a chance to celebrate too! We’d love to see your video tributes (5 minutes or less, please) to the special female friendships in your own life, either long distance or local.

Somehow Connie Brockway found out about my earlier Hollywood aspirations and has gotten hold of incriminating video footage of me and Eloisa James and is threatening to send it to our editors to prove we’re spending too much time playing Solitaire on the computer and not enough time writing our books! When I filmed my segment, my cat Buffy the Mouse Slayer promised me it would remain private-our little secret. But apparently the greedy creature was won over by promises of kibble and catnip-laced mouse toys. I feel so used!

Self-satisifed. And I’ve been spoiled with good reviews. Spoiled. Hm. Now, I have been accused of spoiling my daughter, my dogs, my husband (I can hear him laughing hysterically from the next room) and myself.  To which I say “pfffffbt.” Water...under...bridge.  It’s too late for them (and me); they (and I) are done deals. Spoiled or not, we’re pretty well set in stone. Not so, the heroine of THE GOLDEN… 2010-02-01T18:26:00-06:00 http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/why_teresa_is_so_proud_to_be_a_romance_writer/ http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/why_teresa_is_so_proud_to_be_a_romance_writer/#When:11:00:00Z I could spend hours sharing all of my passionate arguments on the benefits of both reading and writing romance.  I could quote more market statistics.  I could quote psychologists.  I could quote Jayne Ann Krentz and remind you of the positive, life-affirming values inherent in all romances:  the celebration of female power, courage, intelligence, and gentleness; the inversion of the power structure of a patriarchal society; the psychological benefits of spending time with authors who have a positive world view. But to be honest I’m a little sick of defending “romance”… 2010-01-07T11:00:00-06:00 http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/christina_dodd_says_its_christmas_duck/ http://www.squawkradio.com/index.php/sblog/christina_dodd_says_its_christmas_duck/#When:17:10:00Z In 2005, we moved into our new house, and to celebrate, we got this Christmas tree. It was too tall for our great room ... and the ceiling’s 16’ 8”. Listen, don’t laugh, our friends Donna and Monty gave it to us, so it was free and we didn’t have to chop it down. Scott cut a foot off the bottom and a foot and a half off the top. We carried it in. (Our manly neighbor was conveniently not home to help, so I got elected to carry the “light” end.

What better time to choose the SEXIEST MAN DEAD?  (And no--Edward Cullen does NOT qualify this time!) Let’s forget those hot guys with their minty fresh breath and pesky pulses for a little while and harken back to days (and men) gone by.  I’m posting a few of my favorites to inspire you.  (And let me say right off the bat before anyone forgets--SEAN CONNERY IS STILL ALIVE!!!)
