A Long Awaited New Contract!
I spent a lot of time angst-ing about a particular WIP late last year – I wrote it out of order, I had issues with the , and the title gave me fits. Well, I just got the contract from Loose Id! YAY! And so far, we're keeping the title I wanted it to have: Trompe L'Oeil. I know, I know, it's French, but trompe l'oeil is an artistic term for trick of the eye and it features heavily in the story.
I have no info on release date or anything, but here's a super-short blurb… which also may change, who knows? I really love this story, despite all the hair pulling 
After spurning the advances of his sponsor, Maxwell, a Depression-era artist, is cursed to live for eternity as a life-sized nude painting, never to know the joys of love. But when Tyler, a lonely history professor, acquires the painting decades later, can his fascination with the painting's subject cause them both to fall in love and break the spell?

The Perils of Audiobooks – blogging at Flirty Author Bitches
A recent road trip revealed what I consider to be a serious flaw in audio books, or at least one specific audio book — and not a Carina Press audio book I'm discussing it at Flirty Author Bitches today.

Sites I Love – blogging at Contact Infinite Futures
I'm blogging today about a few sites I love over at Contact Infinite Futures. It's a quicky blog, because I kinda forgot about it until this morning, and I'm not feeling great… so hopefully the thing is coherent!

Stranger Danger – blogging at Loose Ends
I'm at Loose Ends today blogging about one of my neuroses — and frankly, if I were to blog about one a week, I could have blog topics well into the next decade, but that's another story. Anyway, I'm not great with strangers and I've had a few unusual encounters with them (not the fun one-night-stand kind unfortunately), a couple of which I outlined as potential inspiration for stories… maybe a romantic suspense? Please stop by and visit!

Naughty Lines – blogging at Naughty Author Chicks
At the Carina Press Facebook page this week, I shared some of my favourite lines from Spice 'n' Solace. Don't get me wrong — I liked those lines very much, but my preference really does run to the R or X-rated lines, so I'm sharing the ones I like best over at Naughty Author Chicks today. If you've got some favourite naughty lines (from your own book or others), come and share them with me!

Release Day!!! Spice 'n' Solace out at Carina Press!
It's release day for my sci-fi romance, Spice 'n' Solace, from Carina Press. I loved Jathan and Kaz, and I hope you do too! I'm also blogging today at the Manic Readers blog about my list of sexiest sci-fi heroes, so please come join me.
Blurb:
Every year, Jathan One-Moon faces increasing pressure that he marry and have children. What Jathan really wants is a male mate that can enjoy both playful sex and his more dominant nature. To tame his stress, Jathan orders a male escort from Spice 'n' Solace, the premier male brothel in the Galactic Alliance—and is thrilled to be sent a man whose air of innocence and obvious desire for Jathan arouse him like never before.
Jathan doesn't know he has mistaken Kazha Deinos, the owner of Spice 'n' Solace, as his escort. Kaz doesn't intend to pleasure Jathan personally, but his powerful masculinity is irresistible. Kaz has dreamed of a man who'd take charge and indulge his hidden cravings—a man just like Jathan.
With their explosive passion and unexpected tenderness, Jathan and Kaz soon want to stay together—if Jathan's position and Kaz's secrets don't tear them apart…

My Fav Sci-Fi Books – blogging at Contact Infinite Futures
I'm blogging about my favourite sci-fi books… none of which bear any resemblance to my upcoming sci-fi release (Spice 'n' Solace) and will probably result in… at best… gales of laughter because I'm not a true, hard-core, sci-fi fan. Oh well. Stop by and see.
