Meet the Heat – Anne Rainey
Number of Comments » 4This week we are shining the spotlight on our NEW member, Anne Rainey! Yep, you read that right! Anne Rainey has joined the International Heat gang and we couldn’t be more thrilled. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and chat with Anne on two occasions now, and I can say she is truly a classy [...]

Comments OffThis week’s theme is apologies. I thought I’d pull up a pivotal scene from one of the very first books I ever wrote. Kiss Me Kate was my first book at Ellora’s Cave and to this day, remains one of my favorite stories. Excerpt: A deep voice from the doorway and the sound of a [...]
Reviews – Erotic Research
Comments OffLately I have to confess I’ve been getting some pretty great reviews on my stories and it got me to thinking that I never really share them. I have a folder for reviews for every book I’ve ever written and I save them all–good and not-so-good ones. So, I thought I’d start a new ‘theme’ [...]
Meet the Heat – Lexxie Couper
Comments OffI had the very special privilege of meeting Lexxie Couper back in April at the Romantic Times convention in Columbus, Ohio. Lexxie had flown all the way from Australia and my first impression of her was waking her up the first morning of the conference by knocking on her door. To say the poor gal [...]

Comments OffSecondary characters are extremely important to a book. Whether it be the hero’s best friend or the heroine’s sister, extra characters added dimension and depth to the protagonists by showing how they relate to other people. I love creating extra characters and more often than not, I become so attached to them that the secondary [...]
Coyote Wild
Comments OffIt’s here! My critique partner, Rhian Cahill, had a new release hit the shelves at Ellora’s Cave today and I just had to give the book a shout-out. I’ve watched this book evolve from an idea to the story it is today. It’s a brilliant book, the second in Rhian’s Coyote Hunger series. All the books are [...]
Book Conferences?
Number of Comments » 1So I have to admit, as a reader I’d never considered attending a book conference. It wasn’t until I began writing that I started attending these sorts of events. I went to Lori Foster’s Reader-Writer Get Together last June and had one of the best times of my life. I also had the opportunity to [...]
Meet the Heat – Rhian Cahill
Number of Comments » 4This week kicks off a ten-week extravaganza called Meet the Heat. As many of you know, I share a blog and yahoo group with 9 other lovely ladies in the ebook industry. This summer, we thought we’d turn up the heat as we showcase a different member of International Heat each week. For [...]

Comments OffThis week’s theme is all about Risky Business! One of my earlier books, Retreat, is a romantic suspense novel in which the two heroes accept a dangerous mission in an attempt to put the mistakes of their youth to rest once and for all. Excerpt: “What the hell were you thinking? Taking on this mission.” [...]
What’s new!
Number of Comments » 5I’ve been super busy lately as you can probably tell from my LACK of blogging. Sorry for the lapse. I’ve actually had a lot of exciting things going on–some I can talk about and some I can’t (just yet). Last week was perhaps one of my best weeks EVER in terms of my writing career. First [...]
