ADDICTED TO HISTORY

Today I'm over at Embracing Romance talking about books that inspired me to write historical romance. This time, I'm focusing on much-loved historical novels for children; later I'll do a blog about books for adults.




Hop on over to EmbracingRomance.com to read about my childhood favorites by Rosemary Sutcliff and more--and answer the trivia question for a chance to win our monthly prize.

KINK OR NOT? AND A 3-DAY #GIVEAWAY

Just a quick post -- Back to Bite You is free on Amazon for three days - today, tomorrow, and Wednesday.




Also, since Back to Bite You has not only mystery and romance but a food fight club as well, that's what I'm blogging about this week -- to kink or not to kink. Today, I'm at Embracing Romance with a recipe for Banana Cream Pie (a specialty of the club!). Tomorrow I'll be at the Pink

BACK TO BITE YOU is out today, and there's a #giveaway!

I had fun writing this little story -- it has a vampire heroine, Mardi Gras history, and a food fight club. It was up on Amazon a few days early, but today is the official release day. At only 99 cents, I hope you'll take a chance on it.

Mottoes, Rolling Naked in the Dew, and a #Giveaway

Today, March 25th, Eileen Dandashi is interviewing me again, among other things about how a stately home inspired a novella. 




And on Thursday, March 27th, she's reviewing my May Day Mischief novella duet, just in time for anyone who plans to roll naked in the dew on May Day morning. (Yes, I know it's a month away, but it would take me a while to psych myself up. If I were going to do such a
