Home from Romanticon and posting some pics!

I went to Romanticon! I can't begin to tell you how much fun I had so I'm posting a few pictures. My husband has most of them and didn't have time to send them to me yet so I do have more but here are a few I could get to and two are from friends who were nice enough to share photos. Notice those cavemen? HARD not to, right? They are the nicest bunch of men. They really went out of their way to make everyone have a great time so shirts off to them! I mean...hats...yeah...hats. LOL. I figured that's the photo you wanted to see most...the guys. LOL. Ellorascave put on an AMAZING weekend. They really went above and beyond with the parties, the events, the workshops, and everyone was just so darn sweet and friendly. I can't talk up Romanticon enough and do it justice. It was THAT GREAT!!! I'm going next year. There's not even a question about it. LOL. If you're able...I HIGHLY recommend going. You won't regret it. It's a priceless weekend of memories. The hotel staff, EC, the cavemen, all the authors, and readers... anyone there...seemed to be having as much fun as Mr. Laurann and I did. I didn't hear one complaint except no Starbucks in the hotel so coffee was a slight issue. LOL. Some people ( HI VALERIE!!!! THANK YOU!!! Mr. Laurann has your photos on his camera) were absolutely WONDERFUL and made coffee runs for us ice coffee addicts. Here's some photos. I made new friends, finally got to hug V.J Devereaux which I have wanted to do for a LONG time, and of course spending so much time with Mr. Laurann was a great thing. I got to meet some of my favorite authors, talk to them, and meet some friends too that I've made online. Here's 2 of my new friends ( Kathy and Jenny), me getting ready in the room for the Roaring 20's party, and of course...Mr. Laurann and I together.




And last but not least... I won an award! It's kind of a funny story. I never expected to win one. They were calling them out and I was clapping, thrilled that so many people I admire and adore were getting them, having Mr. Laurann rush to go video V.J getting hers because her husband wasn't able to make it ( I'm sending you that video file probably tonight, V) and then they called out my name. Have you ever been so shocked your entire body goes limp? I almost slid right out of my chair and had to grab the table to keep me from doing exactly that. LOL. I even thought I may have heard wrong but then everyone at the table was grinning at me and waving me to stand up. I was so nervous one of the Cavemen held my hand. LOL! I took a picture of it and the trophy. Another funny story but I had taken 3 plastic contains in my suitcase and when I arrived at the hotel to unpack...2 of the bottoms of the containers were smashed apart so I carried my trophy home IN my purse, guarding it with my life against it ending up like those containers. It's safely on my desk now. Here's a picture of it. It was a fantastic trip, I had a blast with Mr. Laurann, but that was just the icing on the cake. Thank you to everyone at EC and to everyone who reads my books!!! I wrote and thanked my editors too! LOL. Mr Laurann was nice enough even to ask Caveman Angelo to sign a copy of Burning Up Flint for me since he's on the cover and he did! VERY COOL!

On October 22nd... Berrr's Vow is coming out! That's a week from this Friday!

Book Four in the Zorn Warriors series.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Kidnapped from Earth and transported to the planet of Zorn to be sold as a sex slave, Shanna is one angry, frightened woman who is ready to fight anyone who tries to touch her. Raised in foster care, she's not going to take any crap off some alien men no matter how big, terrifying, or muscular they are. Before being sold she's freed by a huge, sexy Zorn warrior who has the most beautiful blue eyes she's ever seen. Shanna demands he take her under his protection when she realizes she's stuck on Zorn. Hyvin Berrr, the leader of Zorn, thinks humans are helpless and weak. Shanna decides to teach the big hunk he's wrong by knocking him on his large backside. He might think she's playing with him but she's trying to teach him a lesson. She's not sure if she wants to fight the feelings the sexy alien instills in her, but if a woman has to lose a battle, this just might be the one time to concede.

I'm going to Romanticon!!!

Mr. Laurann and I are leaving for Romanticon very early in the morning. I promise to take pics and post some. I have officially handed over the kids and the house keys so now someone else will get to step into my shoes until we return home. I'm all packed and excited to go!!! I hope I remembered everything. I probably took too much but that's okay! I'd rather have it than not.

I hope everyone has a great week/weekend.

Touching Ice - 4th cyborg seduction book - Nov 26th!

It's official. Touching Ice is going to be out on ebook on November 26th! The story is about Ice. The story came to me when I wrote in that one of the cyborgs had admitted relations with a sex bot. Yeah. There in my mind popped up an image of that floating whorehouse full of sex bots... and Ice's story formed. I have to admit... it was so much fun to write! Here's the blurb and if you follow the link... the excerpt is up.



Book 4 in the Cyborg Seduction series.
What can go wrong overseeing a bunch of android sex bots on an automated whorehouse in deep space? Great job, if she doesn't die of boredom. Then Megan catches sight of the sexiest male she's ever seen. On her grainy security monitor, she watches all his sexual exploits with the bots and fantasizes. But that's all she can have of him because he's a cyborg. Then fate steps in.

There's a crash and Megan must escape or die. The cyborgs are rescuing the sex bots—taking them onboard their ship. She knows cyborgs hate humans. They'll kill her if she asks for help so she devises an insane plan—pretend to be the most realistic sex bot ever made.

His name is Ice, and Megan is now his personal sex bot. He will satisfy every sexual fantasy she's ever had—and as many more as she can dream up. She just has to figure out how to keep her big, sexy cyborg from discovering that she is all woman.

Next month on Oct 22nd... the 4th Zorn book - Berrr's Vow is coming out. Here's the LINK to it.



Book Four in the Zorn Warriors series.

Kidnapped from Earth and transported to the planet of Zorn to be sold as a sex slave, Shanna is one angry, frightened woman who is ready to fight anyone who tries to touch her.

She's not sure if she wants to fight the feelings the sexy alien instills in her, but if a woman has to lose a battle, this just might be the one time to concede. In other news... I'm off to Romanticon next week with Mr. Laurann. My bags are packed! Yes, I'm very excited if my admitting I'm ready to walk out the door a week in advance tells you anything. I'm cleaning up my house so when I hand over the house keys and hand off the kids to her... she's fooled into thinking it's going to be easy. LOL! No, they are great kids... when someone else is watching them... so I expect them to be on their best behavior when she moves in to care for them. Three kids and three cats... WOW. She used to be a police officer so I know she was trained to handle riots so yeah... I have complete confidence that she will do great. I'm actually not worried at all. I should feel guilty for that but as Mr. Laurann pointed out... we haven't been on a trip since we were married. Okay, guilt moment over and so ready to get on that plane! I do think I've over thought everything when I've made pages of notes for her including to make sure my son actually brushes his teeth because his idea of 'brushing' is putting toothpaste on and smearing the brush on the counter to paint pictures. I hope everyone has a great upcoming weekend. This weekend is my son's birthday. We're all really looking forward to it.

Burning Up Flint is now in Print!!!

My son is sick so he stayed home from school today. He didn't get much sleep last night so...I didn't either. I finally got him to lay down today so I decided to take a nap too while he rested. I slept but he just lay in bed watching TV. When I woke up ( My son came out to tell me he was hungry where I'd crashed on the couch) I fixed him some lunch and checked my emails. There it was! Burning Up Flint is in print!!! Let's just say that for a day that started out with coughing, sneezing, and ...

Blurb - and LINK

It's werewolf mating season. All the males are in heat and the driving, sexual lust of their beasts is almost uncontrollable. Mika is human, in an alley, surrounded by four...

The 4th Cyborg book was contracted!!!

It's Official!!! Ellorascave picked up the 4th book in the Cyborg Seduction Series. Touching Ice - is Ice's story. If you read Melting Iron... you know Dawn teased Iron about visiting that floating space whorehouse that hosted artificial sex bots. Well, that got me thinking about how other cyborgs might visit the Folion as well... and begins Ice's story! LOL. I had soooo much fun writing this one!!! Megan is a programmer on the Folion and that's all I can say for now. LOL.

I'm writing the...

What I'm up to...since I've been so quiet. LOL.

I have neglected my poor blog! I've been one busy author. With summer... I have kids home so that's taken up a lot of my time. I also made a trailer for Mate Set. WOW do I love making them. I get to buy stock photos and play with them. I'm getting better with those photo editing programs. ( I hope anyway!!! ) I got sick last month so I was really behind on where I wanted to be on my writing. I've been playing catch up. I also have been preparing for Romanticon! I'm sooooo excited to be going...

I have a cover for Mate Set!!!

Today was a wonderful day for two reasons. I got the new cover for Mate Set!!! I love the cover. Whooo Hoooo! I have to say that I feel super lucky when it comes to covers. LOL. Mate Set is my werewolf stand alone book coming out Sept 3rd. I've gotten emails and people have asked me if it's going to be a series. To tell you the truth... he's got brothers. Sexy, single ones...so depending on how it goes...it could be a series. If it does well I would be happy to write more of them.
Speaking...
