The Wild Irish series revolves around the nursery rhyme, Monday's Child.
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath day,
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.
I'm a Tuesday's Child. I will say I'm not so sure about that grace part. Anyone who's seen me dance can attest to my two...

It all started with a desire to write a series and a nursery rhyme. Nearly a year ago, I decided I wanted to challenge myself with a full-fledged series. I'm a huge fan of Lora Leigh's Men of August, Lauren Dane's Chase Brothers, and Madison Hayes' Calendar Girls. After searching for an 'angle', I decided to create a series around the days of the week and the old nursery rhyme, Monday's Child. Here I am nearly a year later. Five of the seven books are written and fourth is...

Today's theme is one of my favorite aspects of a good romance story–an intimate moment. What could be more romantic than the time when the hero and heroine realize their love is real and true and they give into their attraction. I had a hard time deciding what book to feature for this snippet, but as I thought about it, one scene kept popping into my head. It's from No Regrets, my Regency historical, available at Liquid Silver. Ben, the hero of the book, is one of my all-time...

I'm forever playing catch up with technology. My website is no exception. A lovely friend informed me today of a little plug-in that allows followers of my blog to subscribe, so that any time I post something (we all know how rarely that happens), they will receive email notification.
Well, this is the 'testing' post. If all goes well, this will be the maiden voyage of my new cruise ship–destination BLOG EMAILS. Wish me luck, my friends. With any luck, this post won't wind up in t...

Today's theme is reunions and I thought I'd give y'all a sneak peek at my upcoming release with Ellora's Cave. Sweet Thursday is book four in the Wild Irish series and it will be hitting the virtual bookshelves on May 21. It is a red-hot menage between three high school friends who mee up at their ten-year reunion and decide to make up for some lost time.
Sweet Thursday excerpt:
"Jesus, I can't even remember who half these people are."
"Don't look at me. I keep getting dirty looks from the...

Romantic Times
Well, unfortunately I am back in reality after five fantastic days at the Romantic Times Convention, held in Columbus, Ohio last week. To say I had a great time would be far too tame a description. I had a FAN-DAMN-TASTIC time and it went way too fast.
I arrived Tuesday night and met Valerie Tibbs, Jayne Rylon and Lexxie Couper in the hotel lobby. We had a quick dinner while we talked a mile a minute reconnecting with each other (Val, Jayne and I had met last June at Lori Foster's Get...
