In this erotic universe, passion knows no rank…

Since the first settlers came through the portals from Earth, fifteen Families have held the rule of the Federated Universes in their hands. There’s never been a better time than now to throw out the old and usher in a new order. Give voice to the unranked. Abbie Haws has spent her life battling the system. A fighter, she’s always been too busy and driven to pay much attention to

Epic Rains and Thematic Shopping

So, it’s spring in Oklahoma, and that means it’s monsoon season. Day after day after day after day of nonstop rains of biblical proportions. Think I’m kidding? Take a look:

That was my yard on Friday during one of the deluges. It all subsides when the rain stops. If ever the rain stops.

This morning it’s not raining. Much. We might have one or two dry days next week.

I really miss the sun.

So feeling claustrophic and stuck in the house, Biker Dude and I trekked out and about this weekend. We went

Brenda Novak’s Auction Starts Today!

Brenda Novak’s 2009 Online Auction to benefit Diabetes research begins today. It’s an annual event, is huge, and always raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for a very worthy cause.

Because Brenda is an author, she involves the romance writer and reader community in this auction every year. And let me tell you there are some stellar items up for bid. I’ve already perused what’s going up for bid and have my eye on several things.

I’ve also offered up a couple things for people to bid on, so che

A romantic game of chicken—and they’re both too stubborn to flinch.

Lucy Fairchild, lawyer and heiress to the Fairchild fortune, has just had the worst day of her life. Her father has found the perfect man for her to marry. Yes, she’s thirty and single, but that doesn’t give her father the right to run her life. She’ll choose her own husband—someday.

Jake Dalton is struggling to make his fledgling construction co

I’m Ready For Re-Run Season

Those who know me and know me well know I’m a compulsive TV watcher. I watch a LOT of television. And by the time May rolls around, I’m just flat out tired of juggling the DVR. Frankly, I’m ready for rerun season.

Take last night for example. American Idol and The Biggest Loser were on at the same time, and then I run American Idol overtime so I can catch the last part because it always runs long, and The Biggest Loser runs for 2 hours. But then The Mentalist comes on. So at some point there are

Home & Garden

So Biker Dude & I were out and about Saturday morning and happened to notice that there was a home and garden show at the local expo center. We stopped in.

Oh my. Beautiful garden landscapes and trees and flowers and bushes. So we bought. A BUNCH of stuff. Mainly bushes for the spot next to the garage wall, which has laid barren for over a year and desperately needed new landscaping.

I also found a couple quirky things that caught my eye, like this windchime:

Today I’m Also At…

The Pop Syndicate blog, where the fabulous Angela Wilson interviewed me. Stop by and say hello and make a comment! Thanks!

This ‘n That

I’m reworking a synopsis for a proposal. And I’m still on deadline for a book. Busy busy busy.

Today I’m at the Writeminded Blog talking about How We Read. Come see me!

I went to the post office yesterday! I hate the post office, hate going to the post office, hate mailing packages. But it’s part of what I have to do. Anyway, if I owe you a prize, it’s on the way. Or at least it will be soon, because I have so many packages to mail I have to do this in two trips. So your package was either mailed

It’s Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day, the day we should be thinking about our planet and what we do as individuals and as a collective to preserve it.

I haven’t always been the type of consumer to recycle or think about what I can do personally to preserve and protect our planet’s natural resources. But I do now. Global warming is a fact that we can’t ignore, and we have to do whatever we can to minimize its effects.

You may think one person can’t make a difference, but even small things can have a large impact. H

Releasing May 1st

Hey I have a new book releasing May 1st! Actually, you may already be able to find it via online bookstores or even at the bookstore, so let me know if you see it when you’re out and about or shopping online.

Note: This is not an erotic romance. It’s a contemporary romance and one of my favorites, about a construction worker and an attorney who think they’re all wrong for each other. I love this book. Okay, I say that about all of them, don’t I? [image error]
