Snippet Saturday- I'm so sorry…
Welcome! Today's theme, well, if this is working…if it's not, I apologize. 
Yup. Let's watch some characters apologize. From Claiming Derryn.

How many layers of deception are there in space?
When a trade negotiation goes wrong, Melina Davenport is sure she'll end up either a casualty of war or a sex slave. Discovering one of her missing partners, Trev, is the new leader of the rebels who have captured her adds insult to injury.
But when her former lover whisks her away to a reunion with...

Need a smile?
…take one of mine. Man, I was crying (happy tears) by the end of this. Seriously folks, you make me feel so loved every time I get an email from a reader, or answer a tweet. I'm the luckiest person around getting to be able to write and have people enjoy my work.
Thank you. Have a hug from me. Have a few.

Mid-Month Update
Yeah, you notice that I missed the actual middle date, didn't you? Oops! Time flies like the wind, and fruit flies like bananas. (and if that made you pause, you need to read more of my books. It's okay, it's not contagious…)
Waiting for:
• Cover for Falling, Freestyle- I don't expect this for a couple months though
• Galleys for Turn It On- the final check through the book before it goes to print for December
• Word from my editor on my proposal for books 2 and 3 to follow Stormchild. I...

SOLD!
Great news to share- Book Two in the Turner Twins will be coming in 2011 from Samhain Publishing. That's right, look for Turn It Up, most likely in February.
WHEEEEE!!!
This is something to celebrate for many reasons. One, I'm loving writing Maxwell and Natasha's story–this is kind of a prequel, since we know they are together already in Maxine's book, Turn It On. But even more exciting is that this will be my 10th book with Samhain, and with my awesome edtior, Anne Scott.
She really has made...

Snippet Saturday
Welcome! Today's theme is secondary characters, and I decided to show you something. One of the fun things about writing a series is that a secondary character in one book can become the main character in the next! All these excerpts are from one of the Granite Lake Wolves, three books available, the first print anthology coming in August and the fourth ebook available in October.

A day in the life
I know I've not been too chatty lately, but there's a ton of things going on in my writing life, and my real life, that are all demanding time. And that's a good thing, really.
For example, my son is narrowing in on his final days of homeschooling–maybe. 
We've been at this for 12 years now, and I'm very proud of all he's accomplished. We can consider him graduated (once he finishes a few tasks) but he's also 17, so we could take another year to do a few more classes together. We're...

Soul Deep is available at Amazon
I pleased to be able to tell you that the short story Soul Deep is finally available at a few more booksellers. I know some people dislike shopping at a publishers bookstore, prefering to be able to get a variety of publishers at places like Fictionwise, or Books on Board.
Well, Soul Deep is now out at a few new places, including Amazon. It's a short, HAWT read, available for about $2.00, so if you're looking for a quick, steamy story, here's your chance.
Funny story about this book-it's the...

Snippet Saturday- my oh my
Welcome! I think today's theme is one that is WIDE open to interpetation.
~~RISKY BUSINESS~~
So, does that mean a tense situation, where the protagonists are sneaking around corners and / or fighting for their lives? Or does it mean a youthful Tom Cruise wearing nothing but a shirt and socks sliding across the hardwood floor at his parents house right before the biggest party that should never have happened begins?
Oh, the delimma! So let's go for sneaking and comedic. From Claiming Derryn.
