Saturday Snippet

Number of Comments » 1

I’m a huge fan of books with a friends to lovers theme, so I suppose it’s not surprising that I’ve written a few like that. One of my favorite friendships was in Sugar and Spice. Travers and Brooks had known each other forever and a day, so it was particularly fun when they suddenly started [...]

Reviews – Sugar and Spice

Number of Comments » 3

It’s Thursday and that means some more reviews. Mercifully the critics were kind to Sugar and Spice. Just like a mother, I know authors shouldn’t have favorites, but I have to admit this is one of the books I’ve written that I’m most proud of. Don’t know why really. It’s just a short, silly story, but [...]

Meet the Heat – JR Patrick

Number of Comments » 2

I don’t think there are words to describe what an important role JR has played in my writing career. She found me early on and became one of my most brutal–and beloved–critique partners and editors. Nothing gets by this woman! She’s tough and I love her for it. She’s talk me so much about the [...]

This week’s snippets will take you to exotic locales. Sit back and enjoy a visit to paradise. Just remember…sometimes paradise isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. Excerpt from Mad about Meg: “What do you mean you don’t have my rental car anymore? I called weeks ago to reserve it,” Meg Williams asked. Her [...]

Reviews – Covert Lessons

Number of Comments » 1

If it was difficult to share last week’s reviews because they weren’t exactly nice…well, this week is just as tough. Covert Lessons is a little book I like to refer to as “The One that Fell into the Black Hole.” LOL. I couldn’t buy a review for this book (not that I would!). However, I [...]

Copping a Feel

Number of Comments » 5

I wanted to sneak in a quick word about a new release at Ellora’s Cave today. Lexxie Couper’s book in the Cougar Challenge series, Copping a Feel, comes out today. This is a fan-damn-tastic book. Lexxie is one seriously funny lady. She likes to write the scary stuff, but personally I think she’s missing her [...]

Do you remember?

I’ve been playing around with writing down some of my stories for my kids and I have to admit it’s sort of funny to look back and remember things from childhood. My extended family has always been a huge part of my life. My family runs high to girls. Loud girls. My mother is third of [...]

Meet the Heat – Jambrea!

Number of Comments » 4

I feel like I’ve known Jambrea Jo Jones forever! She was one of the very first people I “met” online after my first book, Erotic Research, came out at Samhain. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to “meet” her in person at two reading conference and it’s safe to say, she’s one of the nicest [...]

 This week’s theme is one of my favorites–playlists. I often listen to certain songs as I write a book  and I definitely keep playlist for each book. This snippet is fun because my heroine has traveled from modern day America to Regency England. Think it’s very safe to say, they’d probably find our music these [...]

Reviews – Retreat

Number of Comments » 3

When I said I was going to share reviews, I said that I would show the bad and the good. I will say that the Retreat reviews are going to be tough. If there is one thing that is great about humans, it’s that we are all different. We all have different opinions, different personalities…tiny [...]
