Goodbye to my CATegory friends...


Reading: all the free Naughty Nooners on my new Kindle.

 Watching: The rain clouds coming over.

 Listening to: My daughters DVD (the Saddle Club)

 Making me Smile: upcoming release day for Red-Hot Lover.

Well it’s been a great run with the wonderful lovecat girls, but it’s time for me to say goodbye to this leg of my journey since my career is (for the moment at least) veering away from harlequin and category books to my erotica works with the wonderful Ellora’s Cave.

I’ve met some truly inspirational authors with the ‘cats’ as well as some wonderful people through their commenting on the blog and/or following us. And to them I say a heartfelt ‘thank you’.

I’m not lying when I say romance authors are the most amazing, sharing and caring people in the world! And yes, I’m going to miss being here *but* obviously family is my priority, especially with my eldest daughter needing a little extra attention and care right now =)

I will still be writing, that’s almost as important to me as breathing at times *g* and I’ll still be posting on my own blog: melteshco.blogspot.com as often as I can—and of course visiting the lovecats blog!

I won't be gotten rid of that easily lol!!! And I really do think any new author invited to be on the lovecats blog will feel honored to be here. I know I did. =))

    Oh, Mel. You know how sad I am that you're leaving the Cats, but I totally understand that you need to prioritize. You've been such an integral part of this blog from the beginning and it won't be quite the same without you, but at least I can visit you on your own blog!

    See you around. =)

    OMG, Mel! You had me sniffing here... But I do know that I'll find you at your blog, and that makes me feel a little bit better! It was through you I knew lovecats and met so many wonderful authors - some who were new-to-me as well!

    I can totally understand the time aspect and wish you the very best :) Also giving you loads of hugs to handle everything!

    I'll, of course, not be gotten rid off easily either :) 'Cos I'was your fan-girl stalker, and still am :Bwaahhahaha: (That was my evil grin, btw)

    I'm sure the LoveCats will miss counting you among their number, but you will not be gone, gone. They all know where you live....sounds ominous doesn't it? But you are in cyberspace, and I'm sure you will still hang out here. :))

    Mel, I'm passing the tissues as I say, we'll miss you!! But like everyone else, I understand you need to prioritise and your daughter will appreciate the extra TLC from her mum,

    I'm thrilled for you that your career with Ellora's Cave is taking off (they do you proud with those gorgeous covers!)

    We'd love to have you back as a guest so don't think you're escaping completely!
    (hugs)

  31. Nikki LoganOctober 21, 2011 at 6:01 PM

    Mel - we'll all be paying such close attention to everythign you write and everything you do. I know we'll still 'see' you but it won't be the same.

    You know if you drift back toward Harlequin there'll still be a kitty-tray with a big "M" on it for you :)

    *hugs*
