I can’t believe the year is half over! Where the heck did it go?

Well, summer is definitely, officially, indisputably here. I hope yours is going well so far. Mine—aside from managing to misalign my back (no, not at the computer, I was gardening)—has been pretty laid back, if you’ll pardon the pun. I’ve been to Olympia, WA to present a workshop to the RWA Chapter, which was a lot of fun. Other than that, I’ve been in Greece (yes, on the computer, not in real life), finishing the first draft of the book now tentatively titled Heat Waves. It’s my next Berkley Heat after the upcoming Sex on the Slopes (December). And I have a release date: Heat Waves is scheduled for a year from now.

Cover of the Susan Fox book The Naughty ListWhile I’m thinking about summer—and December—I’d like to share the cover of Brava’s holiday anthology for this year. I’m thrilled to bits to be in The Naughty List with Brava stars Donna Kauffman and Cynthia Eden. In celebration, this month my website contest is a “Christmas in July” one. I’m giving away an ARC (advance paperbound copy) of The Naughty List plus the winner’s choice of any of my other titles.

More fun news: my novella “Too Hot to Handle” in Men on Fire won for best novella in The Lories Best Published contest, and Sex Drive came second in the erotic category.

For those who are interested in writerly musings, I’ve added a new article to the Articles page of my website. I finally discovered the deep theme that seems to underlie most or all of my stories, and it’s “finding yourself.” Yes, there are other themes as well—e.g., “friends to lovers” in Love, Unexpectedly—but the deep, core theme is finding yourself. If you’ve read my books, think about it and see if you agree.

Congratulations to June’s contest winner, Linda C of Twinsburg, OH who won a copy of Elizabeth Amber’s brand new Lords of Satyr book from Aphrodisia, Dane (a 4 1/2 star Top Pick from RT Book Reviews). Linda also won her choice of one of my books.
