A Very Blushing Birthday



This year, my birthday managed to escape me. (This is what happens when I don't tie things down.) I was so busy with editing, writing, and juggling (the editing and the writing) that I actually forgot my own birthday. Luckily, I have a mighty nice man who keeps track of these events for me. Throughout my birthday, wherever I went, people serenaded me. No joking. Sam has my schedule down (better than I do) and he contacted friends, acquaintances, shopkeepers and clerks everywhere I like to go. At all of my stops people "Happy Birthday"'d me. (Look at me. I made a new verb.)

To top things off, gifts have been skipping into my boxes (mailbox/inbox, that is) throughout the week. I'll be posting snapshots shortly.

While you wait, please check out Happy Birthday Erotica. Wouldn't this sexy anthology make the perfect gift for someone special on your birthday list?

Freddy and Eddy say: "The Happy Birthday Erotica book is a Must Have in your book collection. Every story kept me riveted with all the sexual trysts that were so intertwined. It’s never far from my bed stand."

Plus, HBE is now available on Audible!

Here is one of my favorite birthday cards...


And a killer new espresso maker...

My birthday ring—made from an antique button!


The gloves I chose using the gift certificate from the awesome-with-awesome-sauce Sommer Marsden for Sock Dreams:



More photos to come...

P.S. If you like the book (or any of my titles), consider gifting me with a review on Amazon or Goodreads.

Happy (belated) birthday!

Thank you very much! I still can't believe I forgot my own b. day. I'm senile like that. I know *when* my birthday is, but I did not realize which day of the week it was when I woke up!

DAMN - sorry Alison. I did have it written down. Everything is escaping me these days. Feels like I've been in a fog for the last eighteen months. Hopefully I'll come out of it soon.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!

Alison Tyler said...

Oh, my. Talk to me about a fog. I have a really funny, slightly disturbing post to put up (maybe tomorrow) about trying to decipher notes to myself. In my own handwriting. That I'd written in the not too distant past The fog doesn't even begin to describe it...

Ta for the b. day wishes!

The book is translated in Spanish, as well, and has received a few glorious reviews, including this one, which translates pretty neatly using Google Translate!
