What's on the desk, review, free reads and more

Where did the last week go? I haven't blogged, naughty me. Partly it's because our internet has been down (along with the TV and phone – help!) and partly it's because I'm snowed under (so I had plenty of work to keep me out of trouble when I was offline. ;-) I'm steadily climbing the to-do mountain now and thought I'd do a quick blog about what's going on.

I'm working on SORCERESS edits (Total-E-Bound novel, due out June) and galleys for SWEET-TALKING THE OPPOSITION (Red Sage novella, July....

It's about Warren and Anya, a couple who have known each other for a long time as friends. When Anya splits with her boyfriend, Warren dares to make a move. He wants her so much and ha...

Brief update, and part 5 of YIELD TO ME

It's been a bit chaotic here at the desk these past few days. Galleys, revisions, edits, cover art form — you name it, it dropped into my mailbox last week. Thankfully I am just about on top of it again, which means I can get back to work on THE HARLOT, yippee!

I was a little nervous about opening the file again after a couple of weeks away from it. Luckily, I instantly fell back in love with the characters and the plot. I'm planning to work straight through to the end of April on this one n...

New cover: SECRETS volume 29



SECRETS volume 29 will be published by Red Sage in July! This one includes my novella, SWEET-TALKING THE OPPOSITION, a contemporary erotic romance. I'm in great company! I get to share the pages with Nathalie Gray, Dominique Sinclair, and Nicole North.

Edinburgh, February 2010

I thought I'd share some snippets and a few photos from our recent short break in Edinburgh (and, in fact, if you follow all the links you can practically have a virtual tour!)

The trip was part leisure, part for research. The leisure side started with the Scotch Whisky experience. This is a fun learning experience that is based immediately south of Edinburgh Castle on the Royal Mile. The basic tour takes around an hour and (with a taxi ride to the venue) it's an ideal visiting place for t...
