				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I know, it hasn&#8217;t been six month&#8217;s but I thought I&#8217;d post anyway <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I have two new releases, Serviced, and Crimson, both anthologies <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Serviced has something to do with military (those were the guidelines to submit) and had to be hot. Well, we deliver! Here&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ServicedVolume1" target="_blank">FB link for Serviced page </a>and here&#8217;s the cover: <a href="http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ServicedVol1-267x400.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-224" alt="ServicedVol1 267x400" src="http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ServicedVol1-267x400.jpg" width="267" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Gorgeous, ain&#8217;t he? er, sorry for the bad grammer. He&#8217;s got me all tongue tied&#8230; My story, Over a Dead Body has a Navy man and an NCIS woman and boy do sparks fly.</p>
<p>Riker discovered a body and it&#8217;s Edie&#8217;s job to determine if he did it or not.</p>
<p align="LEFT">He looked at her, his face set hard in downward lines, his eyes ice cold as they looked at her. “Am I a suspect or a witness?”</p>
<p align="LEFT">“Why don’t you tell me?”</p>
<p align="LEFT">He slammed a fist on the table. The noise echoed in the small room. “Damn it, Edie. You know I didn’t do this. Why are you baiting me?”</p>
<p align="LEFT">Other than a slight twitch of her knees, she managed to control the urge to jump back from his outburst. “I’m doing my job,” she answered coldly.</p>
<p align="LEFT">“Your job.” He sneered the words back at her.</p>
<p align="LEFT">“Yes, my job. I need to find out what happened to the MCPO and your role in it.”</p>
<p align="LEFT">“I had no role. I had a meeting and found him dead.”</p>
<p align="LEFT">“So you say,” she said, poking the tiger. She needed to be sure. She knew him well, even if it had been five years. He still hadn’t told her everything.</p>
<p align="LEFT">“Since when is my honor in doubt?” he nearly shouted.</p>
<p align="LEFT">She clenched her fists behind her back to relieve some of the emotions coursing through her. Was it honorable to leave a wom<span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman; font-size: small;">an </span></span>just weeks before the marriage? “We are talking about murder. Or rather you’re <i><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Italic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Italic; font-size: small;">not </span></span></i><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman; font-size: small;">talking.” Her voice rose on the end. He had a </span></span>way of getting under her skin—always had. Everyone on her team thought she was cold as ice under pressure.</p>
<p align="LEFT">“I told you I found him and called you. I did <i><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Italic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Italic; font-size: small;">not </span></span></i><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman; font-size: small;">kill him,” he </span></span>said. His vocal volume also rose, making her feel a bit better. She wasn’t the only one losing control.</p>
<p align="LEFT">“You’re also <i><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Italic; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Italic; font-size: small;">not </span></span></i><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman; font-size: small;">telling me the whole truth. Out with it.”</span></span></p>
<p align="LEFT">Their shouting match had put them in each other’s faces. Her height so close to his that they were mouth to mouth and before she knew it, he’d grabbed her and stolen a kiss from her. Stolen a kiss, her anger, and her will to resist.</p>
<p align="LEFT">For a brief blissful moment, she forgot about the case, the five years, and the betrayal of abandonment. His lips pressed to hers, rough, demanding and oh so delectable. She gave back as good as she got, her tongue warring with his for supremacy.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Then he stepped back and she stood there dazed. They both were breathing hard and just stared. She recovered first.</p>
<p align="LEFT">“What in the hell was that?” Yes, anger, a dandy shield to hide behind. She should know; she’d perfected the technique over the last five years.</p>
<p align="LEFT">
<p align="LEFT">These two are a real riot together. Both strong, both loving and wait until you see what happens to them!!</p>
<p align="LEFT">
<p align="LEFT">For snippets from other stories in the anthology, go like and read the page. Allie A Burrow shares a few bits there!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally got a WordPress Blog. It&#8217;s basically a duplicate of my blogger blog. But I needed some sort of something to get my stats on my site to work, so there ya go, I did it. Well, my stats sort of seem to be working. But I&#8217;ve only had one more hit since the last time I looked, yet I have 3 new spam comments&#8230;How in the, er,  how does that work? So you can spam my site but never look at it?</p>
<p>Makes no sense to me, but whatcha gonna do? Anyway, my blogs are much more personal than my website. You&#8217;re welcome to follow on whatever forum is most comfortable to you. I still have to learn how to pretty up my WordPress site a bit.</p>
<p>I have another offer of contract on another short. Been a busy year for me <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I have released Sex Rehearsal and Murder in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Rehearsal-Murder-Mystery-ebook/dp/B005DNORTO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1337811847&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">kindle edition </a>(new edited version) and hope to have my other stories redone by end of June <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It&#8217;s available on the nook also <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Been editing mostly lately, but thought I&#8217;d pop on to share the news about my new offer of contract <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Also, been researching agents lately for my&#8230;we&#8217;re going to call it &#8220;urban sci-fi thriller&#8221; for now. Hope to have a list of five to send it to in the next few weeks when I finish edits.</p>
<p>Please, feel free to comment if You&#8217;re not spam, but you might tell me you&#8217;re not spam LOL Well, back to the drawing board.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been blogging nearly everyday over at my blogspot account because I&#8217;m participating in #photoadayApril <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  But not a whole lot about writing. However, it has come to my attention, I&#8217;ve sorely neglected to update my posts here! I&#8217;ve been good at checking comments (sucky spam is all I have to say on that!) but forgetting to post. Where am I? Hmmm Well, I&#8217;ve finished 2nd round edit&#8217;s on The Ulfric&#8217;s Mate and am waiting for the next round. I&#8217;ve turned in first round edits on Barely There for the Ravaged anthology, I&#8217;m trying to finish up a novella that&#8217;s for a particular line and I hope they accept as well as a novel for another set. I hope I can get them finished and that they are accepted! <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>For Splintered Lands, I did finish and turn in the short following the Dangerous Journey online serial to be included in an anthology for them. I&#8217;m stalled on my novel though. GRRR I&#8217;ve lost my rhythm. grrr Pantser or Plotter, you lose your groove and it&#8217;s yikes!! I can keep writing, but I have a natural feel to how a book should flow and if I keep writing the right scenes of action, etc won&#8217;t be where they need to be and I&#8217;ve learned NOT to do that, no matter how tempting it is. So I&#8217;m going to have to do something else I don&#8217;t like, which is go back to the beginning. Sigh. I will make character cards as I go through and apply what I&#8217;ve learned through the editing process at Breathless Press, so it&#8217;ll be good, but&#8230; *wails* I want to ADD to the story not edit right now. I&#8217;ve already cut enough cuz I changed my mind on a character.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also put in a short for Deepwood Publishing for their Ancient New Anthology, something I hope to turn into a mini series, I&#8217;m calling it Traincoach of Death, The Shot. Been a busy girl.</p>
<p>Had sick kids, then about a week and a half of happy, then I got sick, with my 10yo not feeling great either. Put&#8217;s a little hitch in the giddyup if you know what I mean. But, things are progressing! Time for me to go write some more <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  Have a great day!</p>

I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ve mentioned the latter (Splintered Lands, Deepwood Publishing) but not so sure of the former (Breathless Press) Best part is it&#8217;s for different Genres which allows me to be working on them simultaneously. I admit, I&#8217;ve been lax of late on the Splintered Lands as I haven&#8217;t recovered from killing of characters that were originally supposed to be strong supporting characters for the latter half. I fixed one problem&#8230; sort of, but there are others, and my mind is going &#8220;Who me? You want ME to fix it? You&#8217;re the one who killed my earlier brain child. You fix it!&#8221; LOL </p>
<p>Oh, have I mentioned us writers talk to ourselves A. LOT? Anyway, I&#8217;m posting a pic of the cover for the release July 6th, here and when I remember HOW to add it to the main website, I will <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ll also have a link for the pre-release ASAP. <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  As soon as I have it! Everytime I talk about all the writing stuff I have going on, I get butterflies in my stomach and want to squeeeeeeeeeeeee just a bit lol Hope everyone&#8217;s well. Now, off to do more writing related activities!</p>

<p>That was about a week and a half ago. Well, last night, I had wonderful news <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  It looks like I&#8217;ll be with a small press publisher <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;m absolutely thrilled with them! The editor I&#8217;ve been dealing with has been stupendous, and even remembered to ask about my daughter!! I had said to my CP partner, I REALLY hope they take it and that I get to work with her. I like her <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Looks like wish granted!! </p>
<p>Okay, I&#8217;ll try to slow down on the exclamation points ;P I&#8217;m thrilled to pieces and I can hardly contain myself. I&#8217;ve changed my home page to this publisher&#8217;s page and everytime it comes up a squeee comes out&#8230; of course, it&#8217;s a little smaller than it was initially as my family is now absolutely certain I&#8217;m crazy beyond help <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Happy Christmas <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Right now, she&#8217;s in the trials. You can purchase her now through smashwords and tomorrow through kindle. Right now, you still get the paragraph indents. I&#8217;m finishing up the formatting so it&#8217;ll go Nook. It&#8217;s only out on trial for a short time while I finish the prepping for the premium bits <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>It&#8217;ll be coming out in month or so in print (have to get proof copy first) as well. The fantasy from Hunger Strikes is from a much earlier time on the same world! Also, I have lending on for Kindle and a 15-20 percent sampling available through smashwords! Check it out and let me know what you think!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll have the &#8220;official release&#8221; when I get the print books all ready and pretty <img src='http://www.leonajbushman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
