This week’s wiinner is Kim. She loves me, so that’s cool. Thanks to everyone who commented! It was fun reading what you had to say as I traveled all day with the Kidlet. Now go vote!
Huzzah for the arrival of Friday! As you read this, I am winging my way to North Carolina with the Kidlet to visit my parents. I think they call this “vacation”? I am suspicious, but I’m giving it a try.
You probably know by now, but About Last Night has triumphed over the forces of (Emmie) Dark(ness) in round 1 of DABWAHA. Woohoo! You guys rock. City4Eva, that’s what I say. And you say, “Where’s mah bribe?” Right. It’s here. You may now enjoy this scene of City playing rugby to the content of your capacious hearts.
But round 2 is a whole different ballgame. We are playing the big boys now. Sarah Mayberry. Theresa Weir. LEGENDS IN OUR TIME. I have recommended books by both these women on this very site. So how will you decide who to vote for?
Here. Let me help.

There. That clears things up, doesn’t it? And also there is this:
(Click to read larger.)
So there you have it! Not only will you be doing a public service to the world of romance by voting for my books, but you will also get your bribes: If About Last Night moves on to round 3, City gets a blow job. If Room at the Inn moves on to round 3, I’ll post the first kiss from Rebound. (And it’s a FAIL KISS. Best kind of first kiss, in my opinion.)
I’ll update when it’s time to vote again! Should be either Saturday or Sunday.
But enough about me. How are you? Do you know what “antipodean” means? How do you feel about condom point of view? Let’s chat. I’ll choose one random comment tomorrow morning to win a $10 gift certificate to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or iTunes — winner’s choice.
I voted!!! for you… just to be clear
Ummm… no and no and NO! If there was even a hint of condom point of view, I’d go wash my eyes out with rubbing alcohol and cry to my mother… who is a staunch Christian woman who’d tell me that’s what I get for reading *smut* 
And I don’t know what “antipodean” means… I resisted the urge to google… my immediate thought was “something against feet?”.
No clue what antipodean means. This is better than MMA fighting! I’m in stitches over here. Is anyone making t-shirts of these propaganda posters? Condom POV!?!
Had to look up antipodean. Didn’t know the meaning but hen again I wouldn’t cuz I am not from Australia.
Condom POV is rather interesting and if anyone can do it it would be you of course! I certainly would read it! 50 shades of condoms….what do you think?
Well, I looked antipodean up, and even the definition doesn’t make sense. So on to condom point of view. NO…… That is all.
I will warn you…if your coming to N.C. today? It’s 9:00 AM and it’s freaking 28 degrees! Hope it’s warmer where your going!
I love your propaganda. Makes perfect sense. City is the best! Will try to keep my fingers warm for the next round of votes. Have a good vacation!
Condom POV would probably end up as a horror story, culminating in a rubber ritual sacrifice. Unless it took place in the Antipodes, where their heads are in their shoes. God knows where they put those condoms. (None of this sounds very far-fetched for fan fic, does it?)
Thanks for making this so much fun!
I have no clue what apodean is the definition on-line was confusing. No condom point of view. Enjoying the end of spring break at work. Have fun in North Carolina!
Ruthie, clearly I voted for a winner
I’m doing great other than the fact there is snow on my ground. I will go see my sunlight at the gym to make me happy. No clue what antipodean means, but I’m going to look it up. After all knowing is half the battle (GI Joe, sorry about that).
If a condom had a point it probably like this:
How the hell did a get to this point? Man, I clearly didn’t see this happening. I was just minding my own business on the self counter when this duded walked in. He happen to take me away from buddies. Obviously, he didn’t notice I was perfectly fine with friends. Now I’m spear heading on his shlong. Clearly I did something wrong in my life. Dear god, please forgive me.
I think condom pov could be very interesting if it spends a lot of time in the hero’s back pocket.
No, no, no to a condom point of view! No idea what antipodean meant so I googled it and came to the conclusion that it is still a word I will never be using. Voted for you, good luck and enjoy your “vacation”.
Condom POV? Who thinks that up??? LOL Uhm….no, no, no…….Actually, I believe that is pretty much unanimous.
Love the competition. Not that they stand a chance.
Enjoy your version of a vacation.
Sadly, I’m the loser who knew what “antipodean” mean — but I had to look up your use of “louche” in “About Last Night”: “Day in and day out, she walked around with all the sexual power of a Twinkie, but here she was somehow making his eyes go all louche and predatory, and it gave her such a heady rush.”
Louche, louche, louche — one of those words that starts to sound really odd the more you say it. I love it that you’re an author who knows and dares to reach deep into the murky pit of English vocabulary.
I had to use a Hebrew English dictionary to find out the meaning of the word antipodean LOL
I voted for your books twice and you’ll have my vote again in the second round
I did highlights in my hair today and also a hair cut and earlier this week did a gel manicure for the first time and it looks really good.
A world of no to the condom POV. And just in case any of the following plots are brewing let’s nip them in the bud here and now. No, no, no to the POV of the speculum, forceps, vaginal ultrasound wand, alien anal probes, ear wax vacuums or nose hair clippers. Seriously, especially on the ear wax vacuum.
dammit. you know i’m going to have to write condom POV now, don’t you? it will have to be a short story. maybe 2,000 words. hopefully sweet and funny. not too personal.
I was just going to say, this is only going to force TW to bribe us with a condom POV story…
LOL!! I’ve been thinking about it! Thought about promising to write it if I won. But if I won, I’d then have to write it. haha! I think Ruthie will win this round by quite a bit. I’m guessing by 72%. or 71. or 70.
And you know what’s also hilarious? the covers side by side. i’m laughing so hard right now i can hardly type.
Well it probably would only b 2,000 words worth. Seriously, how much can a condom actually say? “Wow, this is…(darkness) really awesome…it(darkness) can ( darkness) take (darkness) my (darkness) away (darkness)! “
I know you’ll win
You have my vote, Ruthie dear, who broadened my reading experience to a very spicy (blushing) world! lol!
I BURST out laughing at the whole condom POV thing! That could potentially be quite a breakthrough (wink wink lol)
You never cease to make me laugh on Fridays! You have my vote! I had absolutely no clue what antipodean meant and even after looking it I will never remember to use it rather than just saying opposite because people would look at me like “what did she just say”
I’m glad you’re getting a chance to go on vacation. We all voted for you, Ruthie. That’s why we’re here. We love you. So relax, take deep breaths and let your brain (and ours) take a break. No antipodean condom points of view here.
Let’s just say that somethings should never see the light of day. While I haven’t read the Theresa Weir book, and might just end up eating these words, a cat’s point-of-view seems far more pointless than that of a condom. I mean, really??? I’d certainly rather put myself in a condom’s place than a cat’s:)…
A condom’s pov would, by design, wind up dark and murky. Cannot wait to vote!
didn’t know what that word meant
I love you… You are so funny. Now I want to read Sarah’s book. But I LOVE Neville, even with his bad name. But that’s not his fault, bad parents.
Condom point of view… No… Enjoy NC.
I know what antipodean means.
But I never know how to use the rafflecopter.
You can’t have it all, I guess.
I had no idea what the word meant. Now I do, I think. I loved your voting propaganda. I definitely don’t want to read a book from the condom’ s perspective…..eeeewwwww! Have a great trip to your parents’ house.
I was laughing entirely too hard at work today reading this! Condom point of view would be hilarious but I dont’ know that anyone really needs that! I voted for you twice, actually. Anyone that uses antipodean deserves multiple votes. Plus I just love your books! Have a great trip!!
Wait, wait…I got this. Rather than define it, I’ll use it in a paragraph:
“
NotedlegendaryNobel Laureate (YES!!!) erotic romance author J.S. Wayne passed away this morning at his oceanfront Nevada home. According to eyewitnesses, Wayne had enjoyed a very pleasant and vigorous weekend with 21-year-old Antipodean redhead triplet cheerleaders. After his tenth orgasm of the night, attributed to the Australian lasses’ charms as much as the new miracle drug Pekerperk, he suddenly collapsed as his blood pressure bottomed out.”As to condom POV: *raises eyebrow* Hey, it’s your party. Not entirely sure I want to know what a condom thinks of its job, but I’d totally read it out of morbid curiosity if nothing else.
Hilarious post!
love this
I’m embarassed to admit that although I’ve been to both Australia and New Zealand, I did not know what Antipodean meant! Thank you for expanding my vocabulary. Next time I’m with one of my Aussie girlfriends, I will have to work that into a sentence and see what they say.
You are hilariously funny. And, no, I do not know what antipodean means.
I voted three times for you. I used my sisters phone to do this lol
