Three for Three

Just got a contract in the mail from Dorchester Publishing that they want to buy my story, "Tempted by My Roommate." The title will probably get changed, but it will appear in the November issue of True Romance magazine. The hero is a stuntman, the heroine, a hair stylist.

I'm very excited. This was my third submission to them and they've bought all three. If I sell seven more stories to the Trues, I'll have made enough to pay for my son's show choir competition in Hawaii. Woot!

Harnessing My Inner Picasso

A few months ago I felt inspired to do a little painting. Here are some small portraits of a few of Jane Austen's characters from her novel, Emma. Each portrait also has a quote about that character. The first is Emma who had "a disposition to think a little too much of herself."

Next is Mr. Knightley, who said, "Men of sense...do not want silly wives."

Here is Miss Bates, "a great talker upon little matters."

Here is Jane Fairfax, the portrait I actually sold! Her quote is, "A style of beauty of which elegance was the reigning character." 

Finally here is Mr. Woodhouse, Emma's father who thought, "Where health is at stake, nothing else should be considered."

It was a fun little lark and I was pleased with how they turned out. :)

Once Upon a Kiss

A friend of mine recently expressed interest in Once Upon A Kiss, saying it sounded interesting. I thought, "Oh, she must have read the blurb." But when I came here to refresh my memory on it, I found I had not posted it. So, without further ado, The Blurb:

Livvy thought she lost her chance for a Happily Ever After when she dismissed the wish fairy who knocked on her door, so when a prime specimen of masculinity appears on her front lawn one stormy night, she can’t quite believe it. Like a prince in distress, he needs her kiss to bring him out of his enchanted sleep.

After a war injury left him paralyzed, Joe Kimball never expected to walk again, but when he regains the use of his legs thanks to his sexy neighbor, he can’t argue when she insists the credit belongs to a wish fairy. Nor does he want to. Arguing is the last thing on his mind now that he is a whole man again.

Unfortunately, a few days of hot sex do not a fairy tale ending make, and as the magic becomes increasingly volatile, Joe and Livvy realize there’s more at stake than just their happiness.

This Eye Candy Belongs to ME

Here is the cover for my new book, the third in the Be-Wished series. Isn't it gorgeous? Don't you just want to touch those muscles to see if they're as hard as they look?

Heh heh.

His name is Joe Kimball. But don't get any ideas. He's taken. ;)

The book is scheduled for release on August 25. I can't wait. I've been working on this one for over a year.

On a Roll

So, I sold another story to Dorchester Publishing.
WOOT! That's two for two submissions. I'm very excited.

"My Secret Sweetheart" will appear in the October 2010 issue of True Romance magazine. It's about a teacher and her forbidden romance...
