Interview And Contest

Fabulous author Carolyn Jewel interviewed me on her blog. It was a lot of fun. Very clever questions. Go check it out…because there's a contest. You can win a copy of HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO. Also spend some time looking at Carolyn's books because they are as awesome as she is.


And Happy Valentine's Day!

Want It!

This is the book I plan to buy the second I'm up to going out and doing some book buying:


THE BLISS FACTOR by Penny McCall:



I really liked some of McCall's previous books. My sense is that she's a bit overlooked and underrated, and I hate that. If that doesn't tempt you, this should: this book has an male undercover FBI hero with amnesia. How can you resist that?

Reviews!!!

Some fabulous reviewers posted fabulous reviews of my (hopefully fabulous) books.

First up is Wendy, the Super Librarian's, review of HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO. Here's the important part - she really liked it and gave it a B+. Let's just post that section, shall we?

It's been a while since I've read a book where I literally wanted to drop everything (oh, like my entire life!) to keep reading. The dialogue is fantastic, the story is solid, and the final chapters are just….wow, amazing! If I had...

Speaking of Foreign Covers

Here's Romance No Havai (Romance In Hawaii), the Portugese cover for It's Hotter in Hawaii:



The title kind of gives that one away, but can you guess this one?



The first person to guess correctly (U.S. Residents only for this one) gets a copy of one of my books - winner's choice.

Foreign Covers

I have a bunch of foreign covers and will gather them and eventually post them somewhere on my website. Until then, here is my favorite:



Can you tell what it is? Aloha! is actually the Dutch version of Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy. And I love it!

Recuperating and whining about it over at the Brava Blog.


Am hoping to be back up and running (ie, blogging and writing) by the end of next week.

I'm recuperating and feeling better. Still not up to playing on the computer or doing work. But while I've been lounging, the hubby has been busy. He finished his first ever half marathon and did it under his goal time - wahoo! Huge congrats to the hubby!!!

An Unexpected Break

By the time you read this it probably will be over. After being sick with cold/mild flu-like symptoms for more than a year, I went to a specialist. A few tests and two CT scans later and I'm having sinus surgery today. Not a big deal, but I will be in the hospital overnight and then out of commission for a few days. Hubby will give updates on my Facebook page. He loves Facebook.

I'm looking at this as the perfect excuse to lounge around, act pathetic and watch whatever I want to on tv....
