I have been off on a boat trip for the past few days. Traveling from Orcas Island to La Conner its been beautiful weather which equals sunburn for my paleness, but fun none the less! The first night I stayed at Cypress Island, I didn’t see much of it but the bathrooms, the walk ways to the bathrooms were neat though! Made it to La Conner yesterday and have been staying at the marina. Its been lots of fun going out to eat(fish and chips=delcious!), marveling at the HUGE yachts(I have just a little size envy) and watching the fascinating goings on around the dock! There is a guy who does a fabulous job of cleaning the seagull poop off the dock!  I was going to leave today and head back to Orcas, but alas the wind picked up and there was a *gasp* small craft advisory so I decided to play it safe and spend another night here!! Which means more adventure and pictures later!! I am off to traverse the town, I will catch up with you all later!! ~Elizabeth

Steampunk has been popping up more and more lately and I’ve got to say I am totally digging it!! Fabulous gadgets, killer fashion, endless room for inspiration for future books, whats not to like? Any fashion trend that allows me to wear kick ass goggles as an accessory is awesome!!I am really excited that it is also making its way into the romance industry, which means…..that my next project is going to be a steampunk paranormal romance! I am going to the steampunk convention in Seattle http://www.steam-con.com/ if you are in the area and interested in this fascinating subculture check it out!! Make sure and keep an eye out for me I will be rocking the goggles!! As I explore this subject more I will give you recommendations for good steampunk books and movies!!  A good friend of mine Marie-Claude Bourque who is also a romance author has started a steampunk blog with a few others http://ageofsteam.wordpress.com/ it has some good recommendations and interesting info! Also if you are looking to start dressing in this fabulous fashion a good site to visit is http://www.clockworkcouture.com/ they have some fabulous items that I so want!!

So I know I have been terrible about blogging lately, but its been for a noble cause! I finished the first draft of “Bound by Blood” my newest project. I still have the editing to do, but I am super excited about this story and hope to share it all with you soon! It involves werewolves, vampires, a few ancient Goddesses and a surprise famous character also makes a brief appearance! I will post a teaser as soon as I get it all cleaned up! Until then enjoy the book trailer which gives you a glimpse into what my new story is all about! The song in my trailer is generously provided by the band “Torn” and I will be featuring an interview with them soon! ~Elizabeth

So today my husband was starting a fire and while he was crinkling up the newspaper he noticed that the picture on the front page was of Hugh Jackman. He knows that I find Hugh irresistibly hot and asked if he should burn the picture, which of course I responded no to. Despite my pleas he threw the picture into the fire with a “burn you sexy bastard!” A while later the fire starts smoking and refuses to burn. Which proved my point, that no fire can match the hotness of Hugh Jackman!!

I love to find a good foreign movie and I found this charming french movie called “Priceless”, it stars the adorable and in this movie sexy actress from “Amelie”(another great french movie). So if you are looking for a cute, fun, romantic comedy and don’t mind reading subtitles check out Priceless!!

What my favorite drink was I would say……a whiskey sour!! They are refreshingly tangy and delicious!! So today in cooking with Elizabeth we will learn how to make one! Excited aren’t you? Anywho here we go….gather-2 oz blended whiskey
juice of 1/2 lemons
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon and then Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and enjoy!!!!

So today I have for you one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands! If you haven’t listened to Evanescence you should!! Although I recommend their first album Fallen it is their best! So without further chatting on my part here ya go…

I finally broke down and watched Twilight…..and this is all I will say about it……I watched it……..I heard if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all…….

Oh yeah and………..

 I have recently taken a trip to the beach and sadly due to the serious lack of warm weather the photos I have for you today will not include me in a bikini, sorry. :) Despite the cool weather I enjoyed some nice walks on the beach, some bowling fun (I might just be the world’s worst bowler….)  and nights in a bed with sheets that kept slipping off…ok so it wasn’t a luxurious get away, but it was fun. I even found a sign that said the “love shack” was 3mi down the road…sadly I didn’t get a chance to check it out….next time, I promise!! I drove past the sign that pointed the way to Forks, WA  …..and no I didn’t go there and relive any “Twilight” fantasies…mostly because I don’t have any….sorry to all the twilight fans out there. Anywho…..enjoy the pictures and I will see ya tomorrow!!

 So I know I promised a day devoted to the guy hotness awhile ago, but as you can tell I got a little behind in my blogging! Have no fear though because I am back and I have some delicious pictures of the devistatingly handsome Hugh Jackman!! I admit that I will watch a movie that I wouldn’t have necessarily watched just to stare at him for two hours. But who wouldn’t!!   I am happy to report that I do appreciate most of his movies for more then just his yumminess!! If you haven’t seen “The Fountain”, go rent it and you will see that he is indeed a brilliant actor. Anywho I have rambled on enough about him and I am sure you aren’t even paying attention because you are too distracted by the eye candy surrounding my typing. So as always….have a Sexy Saturday!!   ~Elizabeth
