New Release- Turn It On
It's going to be a busy day, and I'll just say one more thanks to everyone who has supported me heading into this release. Some special people– Jess and Joy for all the work they did helping me with the story. For Natasha– who got a cameo or two in this book.
And thanks to the readers who have sent me notes after reading one of my books. You don't know what a thrill it is, and how much it makes my day.
Everyone who helped share the news about Turn It On, I appreciate you very much, and I'm...

Turn It On is live here.
I'm still pretending release is tomorrow. 
First review for Turn It On
Pearl at Pearl's World of Romance has posted her review of the book.
My first encounter with Vivian Arend's work was a very nice one. TURN IT ON is a very sweet and moving contemporary romance in which emotional moments alternate with hot and sexy ones. The instant chemistry didn't only occur between Maxine and Ryan but also between Vivian Arend's writing and me. I was pulled into the story from the get-go and was captivated by the smooth, easy and seductive writing style and story.
You can...

There's a whole lot of shaking going on
I'm getting more and more excited about release day, and it's making me think back to other days I've enjoyed the butterflies of happiness feeling. Yes, with every book that I've released, but there have been other moments.
One of them was more than a year ago now when I plucked up my courage to send Jess Dee an email to ask her a few questions about writing. I had a project I really wanted to do well with, and after reading her books I wondered if she'd be nice enough to answer my questions.

Wip Update
It's kind of the middle of the month (cough-cough) so I'm going to do an update on what works in progress I have going and plan on working on in the next while.
Whirlpool: Braden, Jamie and Chelsea:Book two in Forces of Nature. It's at 30K now and I hope to have it finished by the end of the week. There's just a couple of plot problems that have been slowing me down, but hopefully I smoothed them out.
Wolf Tracks: TJ's story. I have written about 3K out of 30+, so I know how it starts.
Fae...

Snippet Saturday- Going up with a BOOM
We have some excitement planned today. The various authors in Snippet Saturday are blowing things up–what fun! Unfortunately, the only deliberate explosion in any of my stories so far is in the upcoming Claiming Derryn, the futuristic menage coming from Ellora's Cave. But I do have a natural explosion to enjoy. From Wolf Signs. (Yes, it involves TJ)
