What Erotic Romance Writers Read

Fair warning, the answer is going disappoint you. I'm sure you look at what I write (that being erotic romance novels) and you think I'm reading the hottest books around, when I'm not out there in real life trying out all the crazy things in my books. Yeah, I know what you all think and you're wrong.

Of the last 4 books I read, 2 of them (and 1 more on order right now) were non-fiction (and none of them were the Kama Sutra either). The sad truth is becoming a writer has changed what kind of...

The best tools on the net you're probably not using…and they're FREE

Necessity is truly the mother of invention and the kick in the butt procrastinators such as myself need. It was through desperation that I began using two tools that every person should be aware of.

"jagged cowboys, stern military men and a deliciously hot menage"

NEW REVIEW FOR MY CONTEMPORARY COWBOY BOOK

ROUGH STOCK

"…Rough Stock proved to be a heartfelt story that I took great pleasure in reading.
