Sale this week on my paranormal titles
DSP's summer sale has kicked off and it's a rotating sale which each week features another genre. This week if you missed these titles you can save on my paranormal stories such as Mask, The Summer Gardener and The Star Man.
See them here .
BTW, to catch you up on news. I finished Sahara Blue recently, the spin off from Mastering Toby and I'm working on Jesse right now for LI, which will have a late fall release. It's a contemporary Western.

Special snippet from The Boxer
I just finished the line edits of The Boxer and to celebrate, here is an excerpt from the upcoming story, due out possibly mid July.
I also have lots of news. I have sold Ardent, a vampire m/m romance to MLR, and I have sold Sam's Reviews and Jesse to LI. Both should be out hopefully before the end of 2010.
"Narone has broken his parole, big time," Noel said in a hushed voice. He hadn't brought up what they were dealing with, just edging around it, because--the soft wind chime sound of water d...

News
For those who liked Sylvan and Luke, I started a new story called Jesse over the weekend. I put an excerpt in my yahoo group
here
.
Born to be Wylde is on the coming soon page of DSP for July 7th here . This is my wild man story. It was lots of fun to write. It is a spin off of Wylde, but it's also a stand alone, so you don't have to have read the first book.
And The Boxer may be out mid July, last I heard, the sequel to my first book, The Janitor. It was an extremely emotional book to write. Ca...

Luke is out
Wandering cowboy Luke Walker is at the end of his rope after his girlfriend abandons their newborn daughter. A terrified new father, he's grateful to meet Dr. Morgan Gallagher. Morgan recognizes that he and Luke could help each other: Luke can rebuild Morgan's property and land so Morgan can have the horses he wants, and Morgan can provide the younger man with a safe place to raise his daughter. In theory, it should work out perfectly, except that Morgan is instantly attracted to Luke—a strai...

Janitor recommended
This was heartening because The Boxer should be out in late July.
Jan Irving's The Janitor is a story I could not put down. I was completely taken with Dane. He is such a contrast and contradiction in character, a tough boxer with a heart of gold. He loves his goldfish and his trainer; they are his only family. When he notices Noel, he sees the man Noel wants to be, and he brings those qualities out in Noel in such a beautiful way--The Janitor was chosen as a recommended read for 2009 from Tin...

Nice surprise
I think I already linked this review of Mastering Toby but my publisher let me know I'd won a reviewer's choice award for it, so that's such a nice surprise.
See it here .
I'm asked about Sahara Blue a lot. What happened was I wrote half the book back in October but was side tracked by having a blood clot and lots of stuff in RL. So I've been working on other things. I'd like to finish it and am attempting it. The first half of the book I really like. Wish me luck, I guess. Here's a wee snippet ...

New cover and news
I am blessed to have this cover from Paul Richmond for my upcoming release, Born to be Wylde. The vase with cherry blossoms that Ken is holding here is inspired by something from my classes.
This is the blurby thing I came up with when I sold the story.
Deputy Ken Ito wakes up from a nightmare in a strange place—a cave in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, cared for by a beautiful young man with long hair that smells of cedar. As he heals from an assault, Ken wants Wylde's body to cover his...
