I'm so excited!

Look at this beaut! It's a Kindle! A Kindle for the UK! Finally!

I'm so delighted to hear about this development, and needless to say, as an unashamed gadget freak, I've ordered myself one. :)

It's official... I'm a Samhain Publishing author!

I know I've been talking about this for a while, but now it's official. I've just signed the contract for my first ever book with the wonderful Samhain Publishing!

Far From Perfect is a category length sensual contemporary romance, and a reunited lovers story, one of my favourite themes. I'm not sure yet when it will be published, but I'm hoping it won't be too long.

I have a bunch of other story ideas that I'm planning to develop for Samhain, and I'm really looking forward to working with my n...

The Lost Boys

Here are my two lost boys: Boy [L:] who died in 2006, and Kuffer [R:] who passed away yesterday. I won't say they were the closest of cat buddies, but they lived together fairly cordially for many, many years.
And here are the Golden Girls:

Alice [L:] and Mulder [R:] are both well into their feline 'teens but both going strong and enjoying life.

RIP Kuffer 1992 - 2010

He was a lovely lad, a beautiful cat and a real character.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Hamlet, Act V, scene ii, William Shakespeare

Gratuitous Patrick pic and what's going on here...

Mmm... delicious, eh? Bit of a blowing in the wind, big hair Patrick. :)

Latest news from me is that I've just completed the first draft of my historical erotic romance novel, IN THE FLESH. It's clocked in at a chunky 105K words, and is one of the longest, if not the longest book I've ever written. Surprisingly, it didn't seem to take me all that long to write, once I got going, and even though it was a challenge, it was huge fun to do. I love my characters Beatrice and Mr. Ritchie aka Edmund ...

I've been Kindled again!

When Sylvia sees her new upstairs neighbour doing Tai Chi in the communal garden of their apartment building, she immediately knows she wants to do far more than borrow a cup of sugar from him. Nathaniel Gowen is everything she wants in a man and more—handsome, sexy, mature and mysterious—and she's trying desperately to think of a casual way to introduce herself to the man who haunts her erotic dreams and fantasies.


But then one day, he comes knocking at her door…
