Cover Reveal!
I’m delighted to unveil the new title and cover for the very first book I had accepted for publication. Say hello to the new and improved Take A Chance, now known as Wizard’s Chance.
Originally published by Champagne Books, this full length, 80k novel has been revised and will shortly relaunch in August with a new price, cover and title. The story is the same, no changes there, but having grown as a writer since I wrote that piece, I cleaned up the prose, making it a much smoother read. If you have a copy of the original, send it to me as proof of purchase for a revised copy of the new and improved Wizard’s Chance when it becomes available for purchase.
While softer in tone than my later work, this story will always hold a special place in my heart for being the first stepping stone in my journey to becoming a writer. And now look at me. More than 50 books under my belt and more to come. Who would have thought it!?!!
My thanks go out to all my readers who made my dream of becoming a writer come true. You are AWESOME!!!!

Cover Reveal :)
I’ve got the cover for my upcoming story, A Demon and her Scot. At last, I got a hunk in a kilt. Yummmmmmmy! lol.
What do get when you mix an ornery, Scottish vampire with a mission oriented lamia from Hell? A whole lot of sizzle and snark.
No release date yet, but it is expected to come out sometime in August. Prepare to giggle when it does because Lucifer is back and as usual, he steals the show.

Now in French!
I am super excited today because two of my books, Delicate Freakn’ Flower and Jealous and Freakn’, are being released in FRENCH! Cool eh?! I count myself very lucky to have well respected and established french publisher, Milady, in charge of the translation, and from what I can tell, they’ve done a marvelous job. Even more wicked, my French books will be in actual bookstores. Now if only I could get the English versions on shelves lol.
But enough of that. For my French readers, both in Canada and abroad, here’s a link to the covers and blurbs, as well as some buy links. Happy reading

A rough teaser from A Demon and her Scot
Up came the hem of her toga as his hands roamed, caressing and igniting every nerve ending she possessed. The g-string she’d worn made him pause as his fingers skimmed over it.
“What’s this? What happened to your usual attire? Or should I say lack of?”
She laughed. “Don’t you like it?”
“Yes,” he murmured snapping the elastic, the sharp pinch making her jump. “But again, why?”
“Because,” she whispered in his ear. “I had a fantasy of you taking it off with your teeth.”
And she had. But even her vivid imagination couldn’t have imagined the erotic reality of it. He spun her so her back pressed against the door. His hands bracketed either side of her hips to keep his weight holding it shut. Then with his lips and teeth alone, he nudged his way up her toga, the rough edge of his unshaven jaw tickling the skin of her thigh. From under the fabric, he paused, then chuckled, “What’s this? A gun?”
“Shotgun,” she corrected. “For the times when just an axe won’t do.” A short barreled, pump action, acid pellet toy which she’d thought to bring along when she quickly hit her apartment to change before joining her Scot on his golfing lesson with Lucifer.
“Ye are just full of surprises,” he murmured kissing the skin in between the holster straps.
“I’d rather be full of you.”
I hope you enjoyed this teasing snack. Coming in August, a brand new Welcome to Hell story. A Demon and her Scot.

Date With Death is back with a new low price of only 99cents!
Hello everybody! I hope you’re all having a great weekend. Here in Canada, this is the first long weekend of the summer and I want to start it with a sizzle.
Date with Death is back! Originally published by Liquid Silver Books, I’ve given this novella a bit of a makeover by adding on to it and blending it into my Welcome to Hell series. It’s also got a brand new look.
Instead of collecting her soul, he captured her heart.
At only 99 cents, you can’t go wrong with this HOT story featuring guest appearances by your favorite devil, Lucifer.
“Were you spying on me, woman?”
Unabashed at having gotten caught, she replied, “Yes.”
“You know, stalking is considered a sin.”
“I know. How turned on are you now?”
“Very,” Lucifer growled.
In need of a giggle? Then be sure to check it out.
Available for purchase at :
Be sure to keep an eye open because in August, I’m releasing a new story, A Demoness and her Scot. And yes, he wears a kilt! lol.
Have fun and happy reading,

A Wild Time at Romcon
I am the first to admit, I was terrified about going to Romcon and totally convinced I would hide in a corner. How wrong I was, but in a good way. Turns out there’s a wild woman in me. lol. (or so a wonderful fan named Cyn called me!)
My first night there, I was a shrinking violet, afraid to speak up, but lucky for me I met Parker Kincade and Mandy Harbin. What a wonderful pair of authors. With them so confident, how could I help but follow their lead? Slowly, I began to emerge from my shell. Then I started meeting fans, readers who actually knew my name, and more shocking liked my books. In the face of their enthusiasm, I loosened up. Finally, I was talking to people who didn’t look at me funny when I said I wrote romance. It was so awesome to hear what they had to say and better yet, be myself.
Turns out, myself loves socializing with readers and other authors. I had a marvelous time. I speed dated some fans. I signed books. I chatted up a storm. Along with Shyla Colt and Mandy Harbin we hosted an Amira Press Fun and Games event where I drew the most wicked stick devil and spider (PS if anyone in the crowd got a pic, please send! lol). My most nerve wracking moment was when I sat on an erotic romance panel with Sylvia Day, Cherise Sinclair, Shayla Black and Lauren Dane. I even danced with Heather Graham and Darynda Jones, who has probably labelled me a stalker because I went fan girl on her lol. I sang myself hoarse during the karaoke event and stayed up past my usual bedtime of ten to my husband’s amazement.
Oh, the fun I had at our Amira Press cocktail hour when we had the attending fans tell us a dirty word in exchange for a raffle ticket. I tell you, fans might look shy in some cases on the outside, but they all have a naughty woman inside. And it was great to see them let down their hair, and grin from ear to ear as they said naughty things like cock, and pussy. Hehehe.
I enjoyed a delightful one on one chitchat with a few readers where we discussed some of my books, thought processes and life in general. It was so much fun!
And I gave away tons of swag. Water bottles, knapsacks, can cozies, aprons and books, nobody left Romcon empty handed. I made sure of that lol.
I have to say, if asked to attend again, I won’t hesitate. Not when I know the fun that can be had. Heck, I think I might even submit a proposal or two for events. There was a definite lack of alien love at Romcon that needs rectifying (hint hint to the organizers lol).
If there was one thing I learned from this experience (other than airlines suck at staying on schedule) is that the fear of the unknown is probably the worst part of new experiences. I’m glad I went. Ecstatic I learned that I’m not shy in the right setting and that interacting with romance readers can be a fun, laughter filled experience that left my cheeks sore, my voice hoarse and my memories rich. To even the shyest wallflower, I say, don’t be scared. Go to the next romance conference near you. The friends and adventures and giggles are worth it. And, maybe, like me, you’ll discover there lurks a wild woman inside you too. Maybe we’ll even meet!
I’ve posted a few pics but would love it if those who attended sent me more. I’d love to see Romcon from your point of view and show others the fun they can have at next years.
Until then, happy reading.

I’m off to RomCon!
Scared witless or not, I’m off to meet some readers and authors. I’m even (gulp) expected to help host some events and speak. I hope I don’t embarrass myself. When nervous, I talk too fast and giggle. Really giggle. And sweat. Oh gosh. I am so nervous. But that’s not what this post is about. Since not everyone who wanted to could make it to Romcon and get some of the swag I’m donating, I came up with another kind of treat.
A FREE EBOOK! (awesome eh?!)
For the duration of the conference, June 20th-23, the kindle version of Wickedest Witch will be free on Amazon. So, if you’re feeling blue that you couldn’t drop everything and come out for a girls weekend of romance and mayhem, then be sure to pick up my humorous and raunchy tale of an evil witch who can’t help falling in love with a hot and sexy shifter.
While you’re fanning yourself and chortling at the antics of my characters, I’ll be wearing my big girl panties, wiping my sweaty palms on a probably wrinkled outfit and giggling nervously as I try to speak English at a speed people can understand. LOLOL.
Wish me luck.

3 days until I leave for Romcon and the panic is starting to set in
I packed last night, overpacked actually. Seeing as how I’m great at dropping food and spilling drinks, I included a few extras. lol. Then there was the swag. Even though I donated to the goody bags, I’m also bringing some other stuff to giveaway. Since bringing books to sign wasn’t real feasible on the plane, I’ve got can cozies which I should be able to sign with my handy dandy black marker–I hope. I haven’t actually tested that theory lol. I’ll also have a free ebook available, and a deal on some other books while I’m at Romcon so keep your eyes on this blog for details. For some special readers who have signed up to meet me via an intimate chat, I’ve got a special treat.
Fingers crossed all goes well. I think the thing that frightens me most is the whole airport deal. I’ve got to go through customs which I’ve never done, plus fly and even change flights. Then there’s the whole ‘What if they lose my luggage’ fear. Have I mentioned I’m a worry wart? lol. I can’t wait to meet everyone though. Oops. Gotta go. Puppy peed on the floor again.
