Pictures from Con Carolina

This past weekend was the 2009 Con Carolinas and my very first public event since I had the baby. Of course it came around about 10 days after Brenin was born, but luckily I had everything prepared before that time. My partner and crime Dorian Wallace took point and helped me out tremendously. Especially since this was her first convention and I threw her into the deep end. She handled it all!

But as usual Con Carolinas was amazing and I was actually surprised how much I missed working and promoting my books. It was also the first time I promoted and debuted Sugar and Spice Press, my publishing company and some of my authors showed up and promoted thier hearts out for their books. I was very proud of them. Sugar and Spice is working hard to become one of the premier publishing companies. And I am of course back to working full time on my own wrting project and for Amira Press as author Liaison. I am loving it and missed it all very much :)

So enjoy a few photos and of course to see them all go to my facebook or myspace to check them all out. Leave a comment or two and of course you know I'll respond.

Hi to all!

I promised you pictures of our new bundle of joy and here they are. Robert and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our son "Brenin Robert James Pearson". He was born on Tuesday May 19th 2009. His weight was 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches long.

Both of us are fine and throughout everything we came through amazing! Dad of course is one proud poppa and we are certainly glad to be home. Now these are just a few of the pictures. Dad went a little nut with the camera. LOL. As usual you can see the rest of them on my facebook or myspace.

From my family we thank for all the well wishes and the awesome emails everyone has been sending.

Hugs and cheesecake!

First Reviews of Dahlia's New Paranormal IR "The Song of Calypso"

The first reviews are in and The Song of Calypso has made an impression on the reviewers!!
This new Paranormal takes you on a journey from page one and never lets you go!!

Paranormal Romance Reviewer Nancy says.....

"Calypso is not a Goddess to be taken lightly" I truly enjoyed the descriptions of Barbados -- they made an ugly March day into something a lot better! The interplay between Samuel and Eve was definitely worth the reading and overall, it was just dandy!

Mochas Erotic Review gives The Song of Calypso "One Moist Kitty" and says...
"The Song of Calypso is a rainbow of folk lore, myth, and paranormal of the Caribbean. Dahlia Rose's blend of paranormal with a Caribbean flavor was very well done. This story takes you from Brooklyn to the exotic shores of Barbados on a tail spin ride."

Dahlia Updates....Spring time Addition..

Hey Guys and Dollz!

I have been MIA...again..LOL..but for good reasons. My docs have put me on bed rest which could be fun if it was not to darn boring. From the perspective of a woman who is accustomed to moving and shaking...The sitting still is just sucky. :(..But its necessary so I have patience.

Well whats been going on in my world.....Hmmmm *Dahlia tapping Chin*

I have three mansucripts to go before I take my hiatus. I finally finished "The Song of Calypso" and it has gone to the editors. I have Love's Eternal Bite, Touching Evil and Flights of Fancy to go before I go on vacation.

I have been working on writing for three years straight so I am taking a few months off from events and booksignings until the fall. This is time I am going to spend with the new baby and just relax with my kids and Robert. I am looking forward to it. I even have some aweome reps and a publicist taking care of my promotions and stuff until I am ready to work again.

Oh speaking of which I didn't tell you guys the news... Its a boy!! Yes we are thrilled to be having a little man on the way and he is already showing an in utero personality. Those little boy parts were there for all to see...I think he might be an exhibitionisit...*Grin*. The doctors crack me up when they are getting his heart beat and ultrasound. He does not like being messed with so he hides. LOL. They pester him until its like he says *fine go ahead and them let me be* But he loves music when we put the earphones to my tummy and Rob has been playing him scottish bagpipe music. We might have the next braveheart on our hands. His name? Well we have one and I shall keep it a secret until I post his first pictures here after he arrives.

My sister is come to visit in March and has planned a baby shower. She loves games so the guest are sure to have fun...Yes Pictures will be involved..:)
I have to say a public congratulations to her as well because she just got married on Valentines day! That's my girl, she is not only my sister but my bestfriend and I know she will be a wonderful wife and I wish her all the blessing in the world!!

Valentines Day was great for me as well, I might not have been able to do much but as usual me and Robert made it count, with a romantic dinner, flowers,and a great gift. What can I say they broke the mold when they made my charmer of a fiancee.

I want to thank all the authors and my readers who have been sending me items for our little one to be. Ana for the great logo onesie that says "All my aunties are Amira Press Authors." That was too cute for words. And for the awesome blankets. Jamie for the great baby items. Dorian my home girl for the baby pillow and goodies. Tiffany my soul sista for the spectacular quilt her mom made. And everyone else I have missed. You didn't have to do it but you guys I love you for it all :)...I am glad I have not just found readers for my books and authors as aquaintences but friends as well. "My humble thanks*

Now don't think because I am on hiatus until the fall that no books will be coming. Far from it, thats why I am working on now these four will be released through the spring and summer. I hope you will let me know what you think of them when they do debut. I'll be putting up a litst of events in September and until then make sure you keep in touch. Email me as usual with all the juicy tidbits going on in your world.

Hugs and Cheesecake!! Bon Voyage!

New Year Eve 2008!

New Years Eve is celebrated in so many different ways around the United States and the world. So this year we clebrated in Charlotte our hometown. Even though I am a transplant from well...A bunch of places. I thought it was awesome how Charlotte founders came together and created Charlotte First Night. The First night of the year in Charlotte. Each year we try to do something a bit different to ring in the new year. Last year we partied in a club until the clock hit midnight and drank champange. This year we hung out in the middle of a crowd waiting for the proverbial ball to drop and drank coffe to keep warm. It was a big difference let me tell you :)

Did I mention it was cold as.... well..I won't use the analogy here that I would like to..But is was cold...LOL

I am posting a few pics for everyone to see and I hope you guys like them

Happy New Year from Dahlia and her Clan here in Charlotte..is it Spring time yet??
