Sexual Chocolate Authors

I'd like to invite you to check out the Sexual Chocolate authors' blog. It's at http://sexualchocolateauthors.blogspot.com. The grand opening was awesome! We held contests and gave away lots of prizes. We're going to continue doing that, plus all the authors take turn blogging. The sexual chocolate authors are: (not in any kind of order..please...it's Monday after all, and I've only had one cup of coffee) Melissa Schroeder, Kally Jo Surbeck, Eve Vaughn, Lena Matthews, Maggie Casper, Liz Andrews and Me! The idea was born during the Romantic Times Convention. We spent some time together and got to talking. Actually, they sort of adopted me since I attended the convention alone. These ladies are so much fun. They're nutty and crazy, and yes, they don't hesitate to talk about anything. And I mean ANYTHING. LOL.
So check us out. We've got a bunch of stuff planned. Even a newsletter, if I'm not mistaken. Come on over to the blog and leave us a comment. You're always welcome!

Next Up: For One Night Only

I'm very excited to say that my next release for Ellora's Cave will be out (hopefully) in September. The title is For One Night Only. My heroine, Lily, is the cousin of Maddie from my book Irresistible. The hero? Michael Rutherford. Remember him? He's Emma's ex-fiance from Abduction of Emma. I've gotten emails from a number of you out there, asking me if Michael will get his own story. Well, here it is. This one's for all of you!

Here's a little blurb:

Lily McIntyre is in love with her boss. From the first day she starts working for Michael Rutherford, she fantasizes about being with him. Every day she goes to work hoping it will be the day he finally notices her as a woman. For twelve long months, she’s waited. No more. With the help of a friend, she puts into motion her plan to spend one night with Michael and let loose all the pent-up lust she harbors for him.

Michael doesn’t have a clue how Lily feels. When he receives an anonymous, private invitation to play during a weekend BDSM party, he's intrigued. To his shock, he finds out it is Lily who issued the sexy invitation. She offers him one night. No holds barred. Anything he wants…

After an erotic, torrid night, two different realities set in. For Lily, the memories will have to last her a lifetime. For Michael, it isn’t nearly enough. He will have to convince Lily that their relationship is not limited to one night only…

Watch out for this one!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

Summer is almost over. In a way, I'm glad yet sad. This summer, I've probably traveled the most since...well, I can't remember when. First it was to Florida for the RT convention. Barely a week after that, I flew to New York for my daughter's softball tournament. A couple of weeks after, we were in Vegas (yeah!) Vegas is always fun. Then to Stockton fourth of July weekend. Then finally, Seattle at the end of July for the granddaddy of all softball tournaments. Airplanes and airports have never been my favorite thing and that was the most difficult part for me. Long lines (groan) and the waiting was interminable.

All in all, it was fun to spend time with my family and see new places. I think I gained a couple of pounds just from all the food we ate. A couple of pounds that I don't need, mind you. LOL. Now? I'm just getting back into the swing of things. My life is getting back to normal. In other words, I'm writing regularly again. Just finished a book and sent it off to my editor. Now it's time to start a new one. *g* It's a vicious cycle, folks. It never ends.

Allow me to share some pictures of my travels. Enjoy!
