Impulsive!
I have back cover copy for my November release, IMPULSIVE. This is one of my Hawaii-based romances and features Eric Kimura from HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO.
From the back cover:
Katie Long was supposed to be undercover. She was just supposed to watch Deputy Prosecutor Eric Kimura at his ex's wedding and gather intel on his campaign for prosecutor. But he's a lot hotter in person, and the kind of intel they accidentally shared in the hotel bathroom might lose both of them their jobs. Especially...

Jennifer Haymore
Earlier this week I was finishing up Jannifer Haymore's newest, A TOUCH OF SCANDAL, when I saw the news. Jennifer announced on her blog that she's fighting breast cancer. I don't know Jennifer but reading her post made me a little weepy. I was saddened by the battle she has ahead of her but inspired by her spirit and determination. I also felt lucky to have my health and wanted to do…something.
It seems to me the Smart Bitches have the right idea. The best way to cheer Jennifer on –...

Early Look
Many lovely readers have written and asked about Under The Gun. Specifically, you all want to know if Holden and Adam, the two other Recovery Project agents in the book, are getting stories. Good news: yes!! Holden, Adam and two agents you haven't met yet will be featured in a four-book miniseries I'm doing for Intrigue. The first, Holden's story, is tentatively scheduled for January 2011. The books are set to come out back to back, so I'm thinking you'll see them January through...

The "Ex" Factor
I was a divorce lawyer for many years. I get that ex-spouses and ex-girlfriends/boyfriends are out there and can be pretty compelling in terms of their overall nastiness. But I am kind of stunned at how many nasty ex-whatevers I'm seeing in novels these days. There is rarely a time where an ex is just an ex. The ex-girlfriends and ex-wives tend to come back and demand custody of the kids or manipulate and scheme to get the hero back. The ex-husbands and ex-boyfriends tend to be abusive a...
