The premise of the series is simple, All Romance will be releasing one novella per day during the month of February, when everyone is normally preoccupied with matters of the heart. The folks are All Romance will be donating the proceeds to the American Heart Association in an effort to fight the #1 killer of women - heart disease. 

Touch of Fire is available for pre-order now for $2.50 - this is a great cause. I'm hoping to tempt some of you to support it by including the sexy cover and blurb. If hot, sexy firemen aren't to your liking, I'd like to encourage you to check out some of the other titles in the series. Also, check into some of the other things the folks at ARe are doing to support the AHA. Click on the widget below for more info. Heck, feel free to share the sprout widget with others. One thing I think is especially cool is that ARe is leading a team effort for Wear Red Day on February 5th. I joined their team just yesterday, pledging to wear read on the 5th in support of the American Heart Association. If you join the team and wear red, be sure to post your pic on their myspace page. They are going to be giving away prizes. You can find details by following the more info link in the widget. 

Now for the cover and blub for Touch of Fire....

I've been pushing really hard for the past week. I've been on writing deadline and I have to admit I've really struggled with this one. This makes the fifth one this year and I know that another edit is waiting in the wings for me after this one. I'm fortunate to be in this position and I'm fortunate to have such a supportive editor - so I'm not complaining. But I am tired and when I become weary I tend to be more introspective. 

I just sent my son off to school. Today's a very big day for him, he's presenting a project to the school that he's been working on for months. I'm more nervous about it than he is. He's put so much into this and learned so much in the process. The task was simple - learn a new skill. Max, in his typical fashion, chose something not so simple - blacksmithing. The shaping of raw metal is as much art form as it is anything else. He has the vision, patience, and creativity. But he also has cerebral palsy which makes doing anything requiring dexterity and strength in both hands a challenge. 

I'm happy to report he stuck with it and he had a great time. I SO wish I could be a fly on the wall when he presents today. Thanks to createspace, he was able to put his reflections and some diary entries into a book (along with photos) so he could turn in an actual bound copy. He's called it The Blacksmith's Apprentice. 

He also created a mini-documentary which I'm sharing below. Take a gander and if you are feeling so inclined, make a comment. I'm a very proud mama today.
