Coming soon to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks and Kobo!

Delivery Man (M/F) – Package Delivery Man Derek falls for Ella, a customer on his route.
Toy With Me (M/F) – Contractor Greg buys a set of sex toys to spice up his marriage to Anna, his wife of twenty years.
The Painters (M/M/F) – Rachel invites sexy painters Ben and Alex into her bed for a little experimenting.

Each book is a standalone story with a Happy Ending.

Would you like an ebook copy of The Blue Collar Box Set to review? It’s okay if you can only read or review one or two stories. I have 50 free copies available on Booksprout, a new service I’m using to distribute ebooks and keep track of reviews.

Plagiarism in the romance community

You may have read about the recent news that a romance author from Brazil has been found to have plagiarized whole sections of books from over 25 well-known romance authors. It was a reader who discovered this.

Once confronted, the writer expressed shock and said that she used a ghostwriter from the site Fiverr, where you can pay people to do work for you. Doesn’t matter, she’s still liable!

Anyway, enough about that. I’ve got books to write! On my own, thankyouverymuch. Those of you who know me In Real Life and who may have witnessed me in the act of writing know how much I labor, complain, and gnash my teeth over my stories. They’re real, and they’re all mine, baby! 

A new box set is coming!

I’m putting together an ebook (and possibly a print book) box set of my standalone books. The box set will include Toy With Me, Delivery Man, The Painters, and The Carpenter. I’m working on a cover and aiming for a February release.

I was a finalist in the Passionate Ink contest!

My M/M book The Carpenter was a finalist in the Passionate Ink’s Passionate Plume contest. Passionate Ink is a special interest chapter of RWA (Romance Writers of America) for erotic romance.
My book was a finalist in the novella category, and I was told that competition was fierce this year! I wasn’t the overall winner, but it’s exciting to final in this contest.
Hooray for Adam and Grant!

A tough summer…

Hi, friends! I’ve had an extremely difficult summer with some major health issues. However, I’m starting to recover and hope to get back to writing very soon. I miss writing, and can’t wait to get back into writing my sexy stories for you to read. Thanks for your patience.

I entered the Passionate Ink Contest

I entered my M/M standalone novella The Carpenter into the Passionate Plume contest, held by the group Passionate Ink, the Erotic Romance Chapter of Romance Writers of America.
Last year, I made it to the semi-final round in Passionate Ink’s Sexy Scribbles for an excerpt from my standalone novella The Painters.
It’s exciting and nerve-wracking to enter a book into a contest. I’ll let you know when I hear some news.
