The Accidental Houseguest

Originally published at Michele's Mutterings and Musings. Please leave any comments there.

So, I’m sitting at the kitchen table in the home of the fabulous Dakota Cassidy. (I’m blogging because Terri Smythe has threatened to take away my chocolate if I don’t. Terri don’t mess around, honey.) Me, Terri and Renee George have arrived in Dallas as the official cheerleading entourage of She Who Is an Emotional Wreck.Dakota’s first major release, The Accidental Werewolf, hit bookstores today. I’m afraid Dakota herself might hit the floor. “You know this is gonna be bad, don’t you?” she asks us constantly. She’s referring to the Day My Writing Career Ends a.k.a. The Book Launch Party, which will commence on Friday, February 8th at 7 p.m. “There will be four of us,” she laments. “You better eat the cookies. Everyone here better eat the freaking cookies!”

I am fully prepared to eat cookies, freaking or otherwise.

We have reassured Dakota that not only will her book launch party be a mondo success, but so will her hilarious paranormal about a make-up-selling, lavender-wearing, poodle-owning woman named Marty who is accidentally bitten by the sexy werewolf, Keegan. Fun, right? Hey, don’t take my word for it. You can read Chapter One HERE. Oh, hell. Just order it! You will love it! Yes, I’ve read it and yes, I loved it. Duh.

I’ll keep you apprised of our progress. Today, we are off to the bookstores so we can sign stock. And go to Starbuck’s. We are all about the white chocolate mochas, forget the calories!

If you’re in Dallas or within driving distance (or even if you’re not … there’s still time to book your flight), here’s the 411 on the new book and party:

THE ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF
By Dakota Cassidy
http://www.dakotacassidy.com

When Marty Andrews gets bitten by a mangy mutt while walking her teacup poodle, her blond hair darkens, the hair on her legs starts growing atan alarming rate, and her mood swings put her dream job as a sales rep for Bobbie-Sue Cosmetics in serious jeopardy.

Then a drool-worthy man shows up at her door claiming that he accidentally bit Marty. And since he’s a werewolf, she is now, too.Thinking Keegan Flaherty is clearly insane, Marty refuses to believe a word until a kidnapping makes her realize there’s more at stake than just her highlights. And she must put her out-of-control life in the hands of the man who makes her blood run wild in more ways than one…
