ONE MORE DAY

The memory of their first kiss surfaced in her mind. The softness of his touch, the pine scent of his skin. The way he cupped her head so she couldn't pull away…
"Oh, to be a fly on the wall of your brain," Monica said. "I don't think I've ever seen you blush before."
 Kate sighed and covered her face with her hands. —Not Quite Mine, OUT TOMORROW!

Travel Day... *sigh*

It is time to say goodbye to my #RT13 friends, new and old... and say I will see you all next year. We will do it Cajun style in New Orleans.
Thanks to my Kansas City hosts and RT for making RT what it is.
I'll be going home, unpacking...eventually...and getting to work on proposals for more Bride books...and more Not Quite books...and of course, working on Amber's story.
For today, I'll sleep on the plane. Safe travels home my friends.


It all ends with a ring! Romance

Big Book Fair

Yeah... Saturday! The day we wrap up #RT13 and sign books for everyone! If you are in the Kansas City area and love romance... or just wanna meet some of the people I have been talking about all week, come on by.
This year's giant book fair at #RT13 will take place on Saturday, May 4th, 2013 from 11am - 2pm. Kansas City, MO, at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center.
After the Giant Book Fair I'll be at the Fan-Tastic day party between 6:30 and 7:45.  Looking forward to seeing everyone! I'll be signing print copies of: Married by Monday, Not Quite Dating, and Not Quite Mine (Yes, 3 Days before it releases online!)
Or hey, you can just come by and wave!
 
It's all about the HEA!

TGIF oh, wait... I'm at RT

LOL Nevermind that TGIF. It has been a week of Fridays at #RT13 - Still running strong and probably regretting that last adult beverage last night. But hey, we will not do this again until next year in New Orleans. Which I totally plan on going to. Hope you can too.

It is Friday, my lovelies and I will be with my fellow Montlake Authors at the From Self Published to Montlake and Beyond panel. I am sure I will say something that may change your publishing life. So come on over and yakk!

More eye candy? OK... Let me dig in my pile of sexy men!

Olivia hates the singles scene, so when her best guy friend, Ian, offers to be her plus one to a series of weddings she has to attend, she agrees. Although she doesn't want to complicate their lifelong friendship, she can't pass up the chance to have a steady date without the dating drama. What she doesn't expect is to now find Ian so incredibly sexy.
When Ian sees his old friend Olivia dolled up for wedding #1, the boyhood crush he once nurtured transforms into smoldering attraction. It doesn't take long for their no-strings arrangement to turn physical. But as Olivia's desire to stay "just friends" becomes clear, Ian's feelings are deepening. In the time they have together, how will Ian convince Olivia that one plus one can make for a lifelong pair?

Brighton Walsh is a storyteller at heart. Whether through words or pictures, she's been weaving tales for as long as she can remember. After decades of cultivating her writing, she finally decided to give life to the voices in her head and set forth to writer her first novella. Love is her first love, and writing about it is a dream come true.

When she's not writing, you can find her with her nose buried in a steamy book or partaking in some retail therapy. She lives in the midwest with her swoony husband and two energetic kids who (fortunately) know nothing about naughty things she puts down on paper.
