1 – Old Man Winter — has been blasting my neck of the planet for months. Go away old man.

2 – Jack Frost — has nipped more than my nose. ‘Nuff said.

3 – Wiarton Willie — the local groundhog that saw his shadow. Thanks to him, I get six more weeks of this winter mess.

They have done me wrong, and I am just not that into them. Anymore.

Any long-time readers of this blog know that I have a thing for February. A very negative thing. As in, I Don’t Like February. It’s a pesky little month that gets between me and my goal — flip-flop season.  Flip-flop season is all about … Well, I’ll get to that in another post.

That being said, a little hum of excitement is stirring in my February world. Who am I kidding. This is a big ol’ buzz of Yay! Yippee, and Yeehaw! My good writer friend, Melissa Francis is up at Amazon. Her debut novel, Bite Me!, is available for pre-order. That’s about as real as it gets. Here’s a peek at the delicious cover ~

Here’s a peek at the back copy ~

AJ Ashe isn’t a typical seventeen-year-old vampire (as if there is such a thing as ‘typical!’) Her ex-boyfriend is now her stepbrother. Her two BFFs are in a huge fight and AJ’s caught in the middle. She’s totally framed for cheating on a Lit test. And now, apparently, the fate of humankind lies in her little undead hands. Like that’s fair. What ever happened to the good old days when all a vampire girl had to worry about was the occasional zit and hiding her fetish for necks?

Run right over and pre-order now — here.

Congratulations, Mel. Can’t wait.
