Crash Into You Is Now Available For Pre-Order
I have some super exciting news: my new book, Crash Into You, is now available for pre-order! In this new stand-alone romantic suspense, a plane crash brings together together two very different people with one thing in common: secrets.
Aimee Baxter was traveling from Washington D.C. to Portland, Oregon to make a new life for herself, free of her former boyfriend, Seth Sabich, a dirty cop who has become involved in counterfeiting. That big pile of cash she swiped before she took off is not only fake money, it’s fake money that belongs to a big time criminal kingpin. Seth is not about to let her – or the cash -- go without a fight.
As a survivor of the plane crash, Aimee is injured but makes her way down the mountain to find shelter and plan her new life. She’s discovered by Mark Spanner, a doctor who is running from secrets of his own.
Very soon, Aimee and Mark come face to face with federal authorities, her angry ex-boyfriend, and the brutal gangbangers who have been double-crossed.
Nothing in life is free, and happiness may cost more for Aimee than she can bear to pay.
I hope you enjoy Crash Into You and I look forward to your comments.

Blogging Enron Is Published!
My first non-fiction book, Blogging Enron, has been published by Rumble Press. It is a compilation of some of my best blog posts from enron-online.com, with some additional material by the Enron executives themselves. Rex Shelby, former VP of Engineering at Broadband, has written the forward. I'm very excited about it - it provides a perspective of Enron that has never been heard.

At Any Cost Is A Bestseller Again
I got some more great news about At Any Cost. After a week or two of dropping off the Bestseller charts, it is back, currently at number 33 on B&N! I'm curious what causes this ebb and flow, but I am just very happy that it is finding its way into reader's hands!

Today Is Release Day For At Any Cost
Oh happy day! Today is publishing day for At Any Cost! I'm very excited about it and also very aware of how fortunate I am to live (and write) in such interesting times. Just ten years ago, it would have been difficult to find a quality indie publisher who could do what Diversion Books has done for my book. I hope the new final chapter, edits and reformatting make it easier for readers to enjoy.
It's exhilarating to see At Any Cost well on its way now. I'm busy working on the sequel, Omar and Leah's story, which is a sexy, suspenseful romp through Europe and some other exotic locales, as well as my hometown of Washington D.C.
As always, I appreciate your kind words, your reviews, your emails and Tweets.

At Any Cost - HUGE MASSIVE UPDATES
At Any Cost was bought by Diversion Books and will be re-released on May 28, 2013. The book has a new ending, and has been reformatted so it doesn't read like poetry in random stanzas. The sexy new cover inspires little cartoon hearts to float out of my chest, I love it so much.
You can pre-order it now at the iBookstore, or download it on NetGalley. In any case, I hope you'll add it to your to-be-read stack and review it as soon as you've read it.
I'm now working on the sequel, which is Leah and Omar's story. It is shaping up to be a wild ride! I don't want to give too much away just yet so I'll just say it is a joy to write.
As always, I love to hear from readers. You can keep up with my updates on my blog, Twitter and Facebook.

The Ending of At Any Cost
A lot of people complained about the ending to At Any Cost. On Goodreads and Amazon, most readers had great things to say about all parts of the book except the very end. Frankly I was surprised, but I took the criticism to heart and will address the end of the book in the sequel. It is still untitled but it is Leah and Omar's story and I hope it feels much more complete and satisfying to read.
