Book Release Nerves…
I spent much of the weekend with butterflies in my stomach. Why? Because I just wrapped up the ARC (Advance Reader Copy) of the first book in a brand new trilogy that is launching in September.
Over a hundred published books under my belt, and still I’ve got those New Book Butterflies. Apparently, it never stops.
The thing is, it really doesn’t ever stop. Those butterflies are persistent little buggers, and they show up for each and every book I write. Sometimes, though, they’re not small, lazy little things. Sometimes it’s a hoard of bat-sized butterflies.
In this case, the butterflies are about the size of pterodactyls.
I love all by books and all my characters, but some books just have more riding on them, for whatever reason. My very first book, Nobody Does It Better, published twenty years ago by Harlequin Temptation had me more nervous than the first time I appeared in court to argue a summary judgment motion for my client. (Probably proving that, yes, leaving law to write full time was the right decision.)

Coup de sang: Mister Avril est disponible dès maintenant!
Journées coquines et nuits torrides.
Voici Mister Avril
Des années après avoir abandonné le lycée pour faire de la radio, fort de son sens de l’humour affûté et de son physique à couper le souffle, Nolan Wood jouit d’une carrière florissante.
Véritable célébrité locale, Nolan fait des ravages auprès de la gent féminine. Mais il ne s’attache jamais. Et il refuse catégoriquement de montrer à ses compagnes d’un soir l’homme et la douleur qui se cachent derrière ses plaisanteries.
Pourtant, une aventure d’une nuit va tout changer.
Concentrée sur sa carrière et déterminée à réussir, la comptable Shelby Drake au comportement guindé n’est pas le genre de femme qui attirerait le regard de Nolan. Mais sa bouche sensuelle, ses courbes discrètes et sa volupté à fleur de peau l’éblouissent. Après un avant-goût, il décide d’en obtenir plus.
Mais Shelby ne veut pas entendre parler de lui. Et maintenant, le play-boy de la radio se lance dans une mission sensuelle : la convaincre que les opposés s’attirent.
Sa nouvelle passion : le plaisir de Shelby.

The Hazards of Writing Sexy Books…
Writing sexy books is not for the faint of heart. And not even because of the inevitable questions about your research methods, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Since we can all use a few laughs these days, I thought I’d share some of my most memorable I write those books moments with you.
To this day, my favorite is when my daughter was in middle school about the time that I started writing as J. Kenner, a brand that is significantly steamier than my previous Julie Kenner books. Release Me had just come out, and Random House was marketing it as being very much in the vein of Fifty Shades of Grey.
This wasn’t something I’d directly told my then-sixth grader, but she’s a bright kid and had obviously picked up on that from conversations around the house. I should add that I live in a small Texas town that was much, much smaller seven years ago.
So …

About Love in the Time of Coronavirus…
A bit different column this week, but it turns out that when you write a column that posts every two weeks, a lot can change in the world from one column to the next.
In the past couple of weeks the number of cases of COVID-19 has exploded, and most of us around the world are part of a government-imposed lockdown or socially isolating pursuant to expert and local authorities’ suggestion. As a writer and an introvert, I’m used to being hidden away in my cave, but that doesn’t mean it’s a cakewalk, and it’s definitely not easy for so, so many people (like my sixteen year old, who desperately wants to hang with her friends).
She gets it, though. And I’m so proud of her for understanding that social isolation helps protect everyone.
