Blog is on Hiatus

I mean sheesh! It's been 2 years!

I won't bore you with the sordid details. Suffice it to say I am currently on a personal and professional hiatus. I hope to return to storytelling soon. After all, I have previously published books I'd like to revise and re-publish at some point and lots of unfinished work. I just can't get that creative spark working right now with things as they are. Maybe some day...

If you came here for eBook or Print formatting, I no longer provide those services. If you h...

Love Reawakened by Shelli Rosewarne

Please welcome Shelli Rosewarne, a wonderful author and all around delightful person, to my blog. Her re-release of Love Reawakened is today (just in time for one of my favorite holidays) and Shelli kindly stopped by for a visit! 

Hi Gayl, and thanks so much for having me over to visit. I'm really excited about my new release, Love Reawakened, which is a zombie-themed paranormal romance. I'm more surprised than anyone to have written a zombie story, especially since I must be one of the b...

In The Wind

As some of you may have heard, My publisher Breathless Press has decided to close it's doors after a long year of declining sales. The decision came after a week long process of looking at options to keep the company open. Rather than leaving the authors high and dry, the company decided that the best option was to close before financial hardship hit them like so many other small presses. For those who are supporters, we thank you for your continued support.

I admit I am gutted over the decis...

Sound Bytes

I was trolling through Amazon when I stumbled upon Tea For Three in audio! What a kick in the pants! Right? I'm also pleased with the five 5-star reviews it has received to date. I know I shouldn't make a big deal out of reviews but I've always said that receiving praise or knowing someone enjoys my writing is worth more than money and it's true for me. Don't get me wrong - I would love to earn my living strictly through writing but that doesn't happen for everyone.

Another thing I wanted to s...

Cover Art For Wild Pitch

We received cover art today for Wild Pitch, tentatively set to release on October 4th. The cover was designed by the talented Mina Carter and I was pleasantly surprised to have the Golden Gate in the background.

Previously released as The Hero Sandwich, this cougar romance has been nipped, tucked, and transformed into a 1 Night Stand for Decadent Publishing. I've never been through such stringent edits in my life and I have to say I learned a great deal.
We don't yet have the official blurb but...

Teaser Tuesday Between the Lines

It's Tuesday and that means teaser! Today I am bringing you an excerpt from Between the Lines by Ivy Bateman. I love the premise of this story. An erotic writer whose characters have a fuller sex life than she does meets a political writer at a grand book launch. 


ExcerptShe felt herself grow hot—she knew she was blushing, and she should at least acknowledge his presence, but she couldn't. Devin...she'd completely forgotten the unbelievably sexy Irish writer was one of the seven authors l...
