I'm very very sad. Kate Duffy, the editor of my dreams, has passed away. She told me once I "was a wonderful writer." Those words are etched in my memory. I can even hear her scratchy voice in my head saying them. She also told me, after reading the first three chapters of Losing It, that "it had one too many virgins." LOL

Kate was a mesmerizing speaker and wasn't afraid to tell it like it is and cut through the crap. She was oh so sharp, talented, funny as hell, and one of the brightest stars in the editorial sky.

I will miss her terribly.

Promo Goodies

Okay, I just ordered some of those customized M&Ms for my booksigning. I can't wait until they arrive. They're cheaper than they used to be. I almost got some of the Dove squares that have customized wrappers, but those came out to be like a buck a piece! Outrageous and ridiculous. When the M&Ms arrive, I'll post a picture of them. I think I was able to choose four messages and I chose:

Funny Romance
Erotic Romance
Quirky Romance
Paranormal Romance

Book Utopia Mom Loved ALL IN

My friend Evie Byrne sent me an email to day to tell me that Book Utopia Mom reviewed ALL IN and loved it! In a rush I went to see, and sure 'nuff, Evie was right. I was thrilled to read the review. This reviewer is very tough and doesn't hesitate to say exactly what she thinks. However, she's very articulate and thoughtful and has the ability to zero in on the weaknesses and strengths of a book, unlike many online reviewers.

So, click here to see the review.

Leap of Faith Update

I just turned in the final line edits of Leap of Faith. It's a novella that was once briefly offered by Phaze Books, but is now being released by Liquid Silver Books. Yay! It's been revamped a bit. Ended up adding another sex scene.

The release date is sometime in October. That's about all I know.

The first chapter opens with the heroine crossing a dangerous bridge and lo, I found a picture of an Incan bridge. How cool is that?

Here's a short blurb for the book:

Centuries ago, Amaru defied the Incan sun god and has since been condemned to a life of isolation and misery. Only through faith will he find forgiveness. But is it his faith that is required, or that of the young woman who stumbles into his closed off world?
