I just visited Dublin.

And damn, was it tasty.

That's called Dublin Mudslide.

Irish Cream Liqueur Ice Cream with Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Coffee Fudge Swirl

Go ahead -- take a wild ride down the Dublin Mudslide! From the first dreamy dip into the truly Irish Cream liqueur ice cream, through the jumpin' java fudge swirl & chipsy chocolatey cookies, don't be surprised to hear your tastebuds exclaiming "Erin go Wow!"

Yum. My tastebuds were in too much bliss to be exclaiming, but I'm a happy person right now. As happy as I can be when my hubby is 2500 miles away. (Shush to anyone thinking I am happy because he is 2500 miles away. We're up to day 3 - I miss him!)

Also making me happy - I re-read the transcript from the chat last night with the Ellora's Cave authors, and I think everyone else had as much fun as I did. Sylvia Day, NJ Walters, and Lauren Dane were there to answer our questions; Rod C and Jordan Summers also stopped in. Jordan didn't say much (we'll have to drag her in to a real chat and grill ask her some questions at another time). Rod was very funny; Sylvia, Nj, and Lauren had so much great information to share. Several books got added to my shopping list!

We talked about just how they can make those deadlines. (Hint - they all write a LOT. Double diget daily goals. Ouch.) What is hot, what sells best, what doesn't sell, and quite a lot about sex. We touched on purple prose, and spent a hilarious five minutes listening to some great examples of what NOT to write. This conversation was definately for adult minds only ;)

If you want to read what they had to say, you can download the pdf from Romance Divas. You'll need to register if you haven't already, and ask for permission to the steamy sections - I mentioned this was an adult chat?

Put together funny, entertaining writers talking about sexy books, and answering just about any question we could throw at them. It was a great time! We're doing it again on March 10th, so if you missed last nights - don't miss the next one! Ann Jacobs, Bella Andre, Denise A. Agnew, Eve Lilas, Jaci Burton, Jory Strong, and Kate Douglas are all scheduled to be there. What a great group chat that will be!
