Sexy romance that’s
passionate, heartwarming, and fun!
February 1, 2010
It’s February, the month for lovers. I hope you have someone special in your life to share Valentine’s Day with. (And if you don’t, be sure to pick up a good book!)
February brings the release of my second Spice Brief, Erotique: Jillian, from eHarlequin.com. In it, an employee who’s been lusting over a visiting colleague gets match-made by her female boss – at the private sex club, Erotique.
I’ve had some lovely reviews for my January release, Sex on the Beach. Thanks so much to those reviewers. It’s so wonderful when people truly relate to the characters I’ve created, and the stories those characters want to tell.
I’ve had a busy January. I did a lot of guest blogging (special thanks to Much Cheaper Than Therapy, Raving Readers, and RomCon) and had an article on promotion for introverts up at 1st Turning Point (it’s now also available on the Articles page). This month I’ll be doing some blogging too, and I’m the featured author at Bookaholics Romance Book Club. You can find details and links on the Events page.
And of course I spent most of January writing – working on “Tattoos and Mistletoe,” my novella for Brava’s 2010 holiday anthology (can you believe planning for Christmas already?), and starting the third book in my Wild Ride to Love series. For half the month, I was writing in sunny Cabo San Lucas. I love taking a mid-winter break and escaping the rain!
I gave away lots of books in January – too many to keep track of! – but I do want to announce the winner of my website contest. Congratulations to Robyn from Saskatchewan, who has won a firefighter calendar and her choice of any of my books. Be sure to check out this month’s contest.
And now, back to my writing. There’s a deadline breathing down my neck!

“Get ready to crank up the A/C, because this book is not joking with a title like Sex Drive. If you fear that yours has clocked out and gone home, this is sure to bring it roaring back to life.
