I have been reading for as long as I can remember. These days, I read endlessly. Every single day without fail. I know this because I read before bed. There are some days I read while I'm having lunch or even take an afternoon off if I'm engrossed in something. Otherwise, I turn on my Kindle every night and read until I fall asleep. You know that saying "Just one more chapter"? That's my motto. 

And there really is no method to my madness as to what I read. Sometimes I'll pick something that might help me with a book I'm writing. Similar genre or whatnot. But most of the time I just read whatever sounds good. I have my go-to authors who I stalk to see if they've got something new. I'll preorder whenever possible and it's like a surprise when I find it on my Kindle without realizing release day is upon me. 

Yes, you read that right. I'm bragging about my cooking skills. 

No, I'm no Emeril or Rachael Ray or ... well, whoever other famous chefs are, but I can hold my own. 

Okay, not really.

I know it's been said a million times, but to reiterate for the one thousandth time, I will have a very limited amount of books with me at ApollyCon so be sure to preorder your paperbacks beforehand! Use promo code APOLLYCON to get 10% off your preorders!

Congrats to last week's winners!

Denise Hudy - Distraction Release Anniversary
Jenn Donald - January Giveaway

Note from Nicole...

I can't believe it's already February. January came and went so fast, didn't it? Now we've got Valentine's coming up, then it'll be Spring Break, then ApollyCon, and next thing you know, summer will be here. I'm tired just thinking about it.

But, the good thing is, I was able to get some writing done in January. Now, I'm almost finished with that book and ready to move on to the next. I get so many requests for Southern Boy Mafia that I think it's time I focus on some super hot mafia guys. At least that's the plan.

Well, that's all I've got for now.

Much love, 
​Nicole

Surprise, surprise, Monday's here again! (And so am I!) Today would've been our Starbucks meeting day, but Nic texted me this morning to cancel because she's already in her writing zone. This may be a little personal, but it is such a relief to see her doing what she loves again! I am so unbelievably proud of all she has accomplished and built for herself.

​She can cancel all the Starbucks meetings if it means she's going to kick ass and continue to be inspired by her characters. I'll just have to surprise her later today with some Starbucks to-go. 😉

Helpful Hint: Keep reading until the end for a special blog-only surprise!

January 31st - Distraction (Club Destiny, Book 11)

Nicole is going to write another 'A Day in the Life' to hold some of you over until her next book release. But this time, Nicole's Naughty Nation is deciding what she should write! Check out the polls on Facebook and join the Nation to add your opinion! You can also read the past 'A Day in the Life's on Nic's blog by clicking below.
