You've seen them. Looking for trouble, and looking irresistible,

riding into town, straddling 73 cubic inches of throbbing horsepower.

Boys so bad it takes a special kind of woman to satisfy them.

But some women are made for high speed handling…

Website Help (And a prize!)

I'm going to have my website redesigned. A complete overhaul. A brand new website. I'm very excited.

This is where you come in, where you get to tell me what you think a great website needs. Or doesn't need. It's your chance to tell me your wish list. Blurbs, excerpts, buy links, more info on the author, on the books…what do you look for in a website?

I know…no music. Don't worry, mine will never have it. But beyond that, what are you looking for in a great website. Feel free to head on over...

Book Stuff

I finished The Perfect Game over the weekend! So excited! The Perfect Game is the second book in my sports series (the one yet to receive a super hot delicious cover.) The Perfect Play, the one with the hottest cover ever, is already done and in the hands of my editor. So now The Perfect Game will sit for awhile before I edit it.

Speaking of the hottest cover ever, The Perfect Play is now up for preorder at Amazon!

Next up for me is the first romantic suspense book under my new contract...

This, That and The Auction

Holy crap, people, the sun is out today! Now those of you who live in perpetually sunny climates (hating you) probably don't understand my utter joy at this statement. It's rained nearly every damn day in May. So the sun being out today makes me [image error] like you would not believe. I popped open the garage door and wandered outside like someone who'd been living in a cave for the past month. The sun felt so warm on my skin I just wanted to grab a book, plant my butt out there and soak it all in.

Exercise and Weight Loss

Back about four years ago, Biker Dude and I were gym rats. We went every day and I was in killer good shape. So was he.

But then he suffered a shoulder injury, and then a knee injury. And then I got elbow tendonitis and hurt my shoulder. And then one thing led to another and we stopped going to the gym.

Big mistake. Big. Huge. (Do you know what movie that's from? Answer at the end of the post) *

Over the years and a lot of hours spent sitting at my computer writing books, and a lot more hours s...
