Yesterday’s winners: everyone! If you asked for a copy of The Honeymoon Man, you got it! Something new for today, but first……
The Beast Within buzz…. Today’s catch: Teresa from Teresa’s Journey. “This book totally sucked me in from page one and kept me riveted all the way to the end. It was an awesome read. If you like paranormals, you won’t be disappointed. Read it first for the pleasure of reading it, then read it again to absorb and learn about pacing and ending hooks. Great hooks in this book that really propel you forward. I went to three different stores this weekend and The Beast Within was sold out in all three. Which I thought was really cool and exciting. And also made me glad I already had my copy.” Read Teresa’s entire discussion of The Beast Within here. (And Teresa–email me if you’d like something from my backlist!)
It’s almost time for the yearly RWA (Romance Writers of America) conference. This year it will be in Reno and for readers, there’s a fantastic booksigning on July 27th, 5:30-8:30 pm, at the Reno Hilton, with hundreds of romance authors (including me), so come if you can! And of course, being July and all that, I’m shopping for clothes, buying new makeup, working out, dieting, and getting my hair done. This is what my husband calls my annual maintenance. He always knows when it’s RWA time because I put the cookies away and start jogging.
My hair appointment is tomorrow.
Should I go short?
Or go long?
Go for wild color?
Or just stick with my usual style?
Let me know what you think and I’ll draw one comment number for a PAX mug!
Do you find getting your hair done as frightening as I do?

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

I hate getting my hair done. I never know what they are going to do to me! I got my hair cut two weeks ago. I couldn’t stand the hair on my neck anymore so I had them cut it real short. It takes some getting use to, but it feels really good in this heat! I wouldn’t dare tell someone else what to do with their hair! That is a personal decision! :smile:

I am not a good person to ask about hair
either – I do not have good hair -it is fine and thin and blonde(going darker each year with age). Shorter is good for the summer or just long enough to pull back with a band. Good luck!:grin:

I get anxious when I go the salon. I always fear I will come out looking freakish.
If I were you, I would consider what you would be comfortable with and go from there. If you are looking for a change, haircolor is great way to achieve it.

As for the hair, I hate going in to get anything done. As little as possible would be my answer. My hair is longer, and I wouldn’t know what to do if I couldn’t pull it back when it annoyed me.

Me? I LOVE to get my hair cut. That is the only time it will EVER look remotely like it was supposed to.
:yes:
You? Hmmmmmmm. I’m torn between Carrot Top and Don King. It’s a tough one, all right.
How about…same color with highlights? I think that would be lovely. Chunky highlights. Yeah. Yeah.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

I’m sure whatever you decide will be gorgeous, Suzanne, but if you do go purple…just say you did it because it matches the SIM line. :thumbsup:
Hugs,
Marcy

Emily, I went to one of those training salons once! They took about four hours to finish my hair. It was scary. I thought I was being held hostage. :wall:
Alyssa, I’m never sure till I get to the table and can see what they actually got, but I asked for them to have Her Man to Remember, Cole Dempsey’s Back In Town, and The Beast Within at the Reno signing! The only thing I actually know for sure about the signing is that I’ll be there. LOL.

I love getting a hair cut! I find that my hair has more body and is much more manageable immediately after a trim or cut. If you are afraid of going short, just get a really good shaping and then go in often for a good trim. You keep the length, but your hair is always well groomed.
My favorite hairdresser is 300 miles from me, and I have been known to make the trip just for a haircut and/or perm. Besides, when you make the trip, you can get back in touch with old friends! I say make the trip back to Texas!!! We’d love to have you back!!!

(and if it suits you)then you can always go a little shorter if you want to.
If you don’t like the length then it won’t take as long to grow out

Re Hairstyle:
I love long hair but I look terrible in it. My hair is baby-fine and poker straight. Sometimes, in my desperate moments, I want to have it razed off.
I say stick with what you’re comfortable with. My experiments have been failures.

If you go short, and you have 10″ or more cut off, consider donating your hair to http://www.locksoflove.org/ — they use donated hair to make wigs for children who’ve lost their own due to disease.
