New Book News!
I hollered this on Twitter when I sold, but forgot to do a blog post about it. Duh.
I'm so happy to announce that I have a brand spanking new book deal! I'll be writing a romantic suspense series for MIRA!!! [image error]
For those who don't know, MIRA is a division of Harlequin, which means I'm now a Harlequin author! Wheee! I've wanted to write for Harlequin for as long as I've been writing, so this is a dream come true for me and I couldn't be happier.
I don't have much more info to tell on the books...

Let The Madness Begin!
Welcome to December, people! It's time to think about holidays and shopping and wrapping and decorating and addressing cards and all the various things that go into make this month a living hell for all of us. Don't you love the holidays? [image error]
My head is already spinning and it's only December 1st. I purposely set my schedule so I could take the end of the year off. Ha! Like that's going to happen. So did anyone brave the Black Friday crowds and go shopping? I avoided this year, but I went...

Giving Thanks
[image error]
Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., and I'd like to take a moment to give thanks for a few very important things in my life and my career.
My husband, my children and my family, who keep it real for me every day and remind me of the differences between this lovely fantasy land I play in and the reality that is dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, dust bunnies, the marvel that is my children as they move through their adulthood, the abject joy of cuddling my grandchildren, and the pure...

Maximum desire.

This is the book I just turned into my editor, the one I sweated blood over. I'm so excited about AJ and Pax's book. [image error]
RIDING THE NIGHT will release in September, 2010. I know, a long way off. I can't wait for y'all to read it! I saved the best Wild Riders for last. [image error]

AJ and Pax work together as undercover operatives for a government agency of bad-boy bikers known as the Wild Riders. And though they play as hard as they work, both men are looking for the one woman who can tame them…

A New Etsy Store!
I love Etsy. If you've never been there, you have to check it out. Etsy is a site where people who handmake items sell their wares. It's awesome. I've bought many many things from Etsy and it's full of goodness. I can spend hours there checking out the amazing things people make. And woe is my credit card. [image error]
My friend Azteclady has opened a store at Etsy today. She makes pretty, soft, wonderfully crafted knitted things. Please go check out her store here
Congratulations on your new venture...

Snippet Saturday
[image error]
Welcome to Snippet Saturday, where authors share snippets of their work.
Today is Black Moment day. Ahh, that heartbreaking juicy moment where everything that was wonderful about the hero and heroine's relationship utterly falls apart.
I've chosen a scene from Wild, Wicked & Wanton. I loved Callie and Jack, and this scene was heartbreaking. (But don't worry, it all ends up great at the end [image error] ).
Callie couldn't help it. She smiled all day at work on Monday. Jack stopped by as usual, only this...
