Red Hot Reader Contest

All you need to do to enter to win is add a comment to THIS post. The prize is a box of Red Hot spices– treats to help heat up your kitchen, including 'Cowboy Cayenne'! At the end of the week I'll draw from the names and one lucky reader will get sent a whole lot of heat.

Smutty Mondays

Janna over at Erotic Romance Reader runs a regular blog feature called Sexy Smutty Scenes, and I'm not sure what's she's decided on, but I gave ...

Oh boy oh boy…

Have I got a month coming up to share with you. Look!

April 19

April 26

May 4

May 10

Give me a second to pick myself up off the floor. I didn't plan this–in fact these books were all written and submitted in very different timeframes, but have somehow all come down to releasing within a month of each other. So…

Party time?

We were already going to hold a party starting tomorrow to celebrate the cowboys. But since it seems I have a few other things to celebrate, lets just keep the whole thing ...

Heading for a cowboy Round Up

First the good news. Rocky Mountain Haven is releasing in less than week. :bug eyes:

Now the great news. We're having another party!! Yes, we're going to test out the claim that I've now got unlimited bandwidth. What a great reason to have some fun.

Now this time , things are going to work a little differently. I'm calling YOU to help me spread the word about Daniel and Beth. Here's the deal:

From Tuesday, April 20th until Friday, April 23, I'm looking for bloggers / reviewers / and people 'who ...

Sherlock Holmes

I'm a geek. Did I mention that already? Hmm, I'm sure I did at some point. I've read the Sherlock Holmes stories. In fact, I read out loud a big old hard cover copy to my children as we floated down the Yukon Rover back in 2006. Reading the Redheaded League as the Peel River sends you twirling in a back-eddy is a very cool combination.

But I digress.

Cool stuff:

•Loved the slow-mo advance mental calcualtions they used to show just how radically Holmes mind worked–plan in minute detail, proceed. ...

Sweet things…

I'm very happy right now for FIVE reasons.

#1. My website has been successfully transfered from the old host to a new, shinier one with MORE bandwidth. No more crashes in the middle of the next party! Hurrah!!

#2. I managed to weed my way through a big box of stuff that needed cleaning out. I know, the spring cleaning bug wasn't supposed to hit, but…it did. And if I can continue to do one shelf/box/drawer per day, I will have a clean and organized home by 2012.

#3 There are crocuses blooming in ...

It's Friday, and the weekend is coming!

I'm excited, sometimes, for the weekend. It seems a good chance to get a lot done, only that's not always a good thing. Since it's the spring, there's a million spring cleaning things I could/should/must do, but am I doing them?

No. Silly question.

I'm playing with stories and synopsis and –shhhh– really hoping that my hubby feels good enough to go outside and work all day so I don't have to feel guilty about working on writing. I'm at a fun part in the current story, as well as finishing the f...

Work in Progress

I couldn't stop myself. Starting play on Friday, and I'm up to 10K words. What do you think?

"Kane?"

He continued to stare away from her and she sighed. Temperamental ass. Fine, she knew how to handle Kane when he was in a mood. She grabbed him by the back of the collar and pulled hard. He slipped off the railing to land in a puddle at her feet.

"Fuck it, Dara, what was that for?"

She glared at him. "I wanted to apologize for springing the idea of a ménage on you, and it's too freaking cold...

Cover #11

This is the cover for the story that will be coming out from Liquid Silver Books sometime this summer. It's a part of the 'Strange Hollow' series, a multi author series about a town where the people are a little out of the ordinary.

Air, fire, earth…there's a whole lot of shaking going on.

Erich's earthquaking emotions and fiery temper were enough to get him kicked out from his clan. The folks in Strange Hollow don't seem to care he's not a proper firekin and once he meets Sarya, he figures he ...
