The RT Booklovers' Convention is in full swing ... and one author I want to meet is Lydia Dare. Actually, make that two as Lydia Dare is the writing team of Tammy Falkner and Ava Stone. They are celebrating the release of THE WOLF WHO LOVED ME:
Regency England Has Gone to the Wolves!
Lady Madeline Hayburn Has Money Problems...
Specifically, she has so much of it that she's dogged by fortune hunters, including her bewilderingly attractive, penniless neighbor, with his wild nature and uncouth manners...
Weston Hadley Has An Identity Crisis...
Specifically, he's just turned into a wolf while Madeline was watching. Now it's up to the regal lady to tame the wild beast...if she can...

Hmm, I just worked with a team to get a grant and we succeeded
ReplyDeleteAt one of the places I worked, I was on the house committee team to put on fundraisers for our holiday party. We worked together on lots of fundraising luncheons which was fun. And since most of the people who worked there were men, it was really easy because they would eat anything we made for the lunch. If there was food, they were there. :)
ReplyDeleteMost of my jobs entailed committee work--not exactlt "teams" unless the chair was excellent.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteI have read great reviews about this book! Thanks for the giveaway!
I think that I work better in a team while walking my 3 dogs. My bf will help me depending on his mood but for the most part it does take the two of us :)
I just completed work on a church retreat team. There were 30+ of us, working together for many weeks. Each had her own defined duties, in addition to the many times we had full team responsibilities. The retreat, presented two weeks ago, was a success. Teamwork is great.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading the new Lydia Dare book. Thanks.
I got tired of hearing the word "teamwork" when I was a member of the rat race. Well, where I was employed at the time anywho - LOL! I believe a family is a team. Just being one takes working together to keep the peace quite often!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a grand time at RT Kim!
I work with a team of wonderful volunteers at our American Legion.
ReplyDeleteFrom my various jobs, I would have to say that I do best in a team in which everyone gets along.
ReplyDeleteI really like the cover of THE WOLF WHO LOVED ME with Steve Kuchinsky! That man and his abs is popping up all over the place!
I have worked with teams many times in both school and work settings. In college, we would often work together with a team to develop unit plans for teaching to students. The same in schools.
ReplyDeleteFamilies do tend to work well as a team generally. Unfortunately, I have often been on teams where some did not do anything, except maybe take the credit for other people's work.
Hope you are having a great time at RT!
I love working as a team, because stuff gets accomplished sooner. When you have more than one person working on something it gets done quicker and sooner. I have did teams in school and at work. I have felt that they help get things accomplished, but sometimes to big of a group, people bicker. I like working by myself or in a smaller group.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds great and would love to win and read. Have not read any of Lydia's books before. Thanks for the giveaway.

I'm tag-teaming it with kim at RT this week!

ReplyDeleteI once worked with a team to install a new software application and it included testing, writing procedures, and training. It was one of the best experiences I ever had working as a team
ReplyDeleteI adore wolf stories.
ReplyDeleteI think I could get more writing done for my articles if I had someone to bounce ideas off of. As it is right now, I just search the internet for ideas which usually gives me a few good ones.
I work in a team to pull something off all the time and I totally love it ! Thanks for the great post and the wonderful giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous you will get to meet Tammy and Ava, hope you are having tons of fan girl moments!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy what these two create together, paranormal and historical...perfect!
(no need to enter me, I have read this already. Just commenting on how lucky you are =) )
we work as a team at work to see things get done & help keep each other from getting overwhelmed as new deadlines & life pop up to make things extra crazy. outside of work, generally haven't done the team thing for a project (at least not that comes to mind). think its great when talented & creative people are able to work well together for an extended period
ReplyDeleteHubby, our three sons, and I often work as a good team. Once we get the youngest two motivated. We are working right now in touching up our home: dry wall, new beds for the boys, new floors, etc. We got it done in a good time.
ReplyDeleteAs a special education teacher, I work on multiple teams to help meet the individual needs of each of the students on my caseload. The teams change constantly as well as the needs of the child. Keeps me on my toes. :)

In the past few days I have collaborated with dozens of other volunteers to Spring clean a community center. We started at the ceiling and worked our way down. We put in over 400 man hours in just four days. It was messy but fun.

Love Lydia Dare's Wolves. Have to catch up. I agree that working with a team has a quicker finish as well as an enjoyable process. Haven't been part of team lately though.Hope you're having a ball Kim. :)

I work as part of a time at work. So, it's something I do on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteI don't work good with a team. I am usually in the background and don't say much anyway. Thanks for sharing with us! I love Lydia Dare's books!
ReplyDeleteI work with my husband so you could call us a team.
ReplyDeleteI could accomplish cleaning the house with someone.
