Happy Tax Day and assorted rambling

Alesia, contemplating the IRS . . .

I always wondered which of the little girls and boys in my second-grade class were working hard on their homework, dreaming of the day that they could grow up and work for the IRS.***

*** NOTE to IRS: I am a HUMOR WRITER and you should take nothing I say SERIOUSLY, or in any way as a catalyst for AUDITING MY BUTT back into the Dark Ages . . .

Seriously, can you imagine cocktail parties? Especially around April 15th? “What do YOU do for a living?” It’s got to SERIOUSLY SUCK. HUGELY, even.

Speaking of things that do NOT suck, I got my new cover for my October anthology, THE NAKED TRUTH, and it’s GORGEOUS!!! The .jpg file is hinky, so for some reason it shows up as a yellow-green background, instead of the brilliant royal blue it really is (with red foil accents; did I mention I ADORE it??).

I have truly been blessed by the cover art fairies; this will be my ninth book (counting the anthologies), and I’ve loved every one of the covers!!

In PEN NAME news, I’m secretly writing a dark paranormal romance and wondering about taking another pen name for it. My blog on the 17th at ROMANCINGTHEBLOG.COM is all about the pen name question and what you think – stop by Sunday and leave me a comment, if you get a chance.

OK, Navy Guy and tiny Cub Scout are going for a sleepover at the Museum of Science and History, so I have to go help them remember the important things, like sleeping bags (guys tend to remember the snacks and not much else . . .)

Hugs and happy weekending,
Alesia
