“Ethan. I was just about to call you.” Her voice was breathy, faint. His lips twisted in a semblance of a smile. “I bet you were.” Swallowing, she took a step back.

OMG! Guess who called me. Kate Duffy! Yep. She said she'd like to see "The Love Doctor." Okay, I admit it. I danced all over my living room. I mean she is one of the Editorial Directors of Kensington. Woo Hoo! She was very nice, very supportive. Gave me her email and told me to email "The Love Doctor" to her. Plus mail any of my other contemporary stuff. WOW. I was over the moon. Then I hung up

I found this interesting article from Men's Health - 50 Things She Wishes You Knew. The article claims to list and explain "universal truths all men should - but don't- understand." Hmm. So, I didn't agree with the entire list, but a good number of them did apply. Here are some of the ones I identified with...1.

My aunt died recently. She was a close relative, her passing hurt. But at the same time it made me really appreciate the life I have. Then over the last few days a couple of songs on the radio have caught my attention. "This Awful, Beautiful Life" and "Live Like You Were Dying." Boy did the words have new meaning to me. So when it came time for me to think of what I was going to blog about at

What is a sex toy? A device used in facilitating sexual pleasure.Is it my imagination, or has the use of sex toys become more acceptable, or more mainstream? You can read about the use of them in erotic romance novels. (Susan Johnson, Lora Leigh, etc) You can have sex toy parties in your home. You can order them on line.

They had kept no secrets from each other,except that the little old woman had a shoe-box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got

Does growing older equal growing wiser? I don't know. Sometimes I look back on the way I behaved or the decisions I made and am horrified. Sometimes I look back and wonder why I can't be that way again. Throwing caution into the wind.

I'm part of a new blog the Erotic Muses. I'll be blogging with Bonnie Dee, Veronica Wilde, and Laura Bacchi. Today I blogged about an article I found ...The Man Code. This was hilarious! There's 50 on the list. Here are a few of my favorites. More here.10. Agreeing to distract the skanky friend of a hot babe that your buddy is trying to hook up with is your legal duty.

It's been a while. Sorry about that. I've just had a lot to do. It's summer vacation, so it's go go go with my boys. They keep me on my toes and sometimes I feel like a cross between a maid, a short order cook, a taxi, and a referee. Plus I've been working in my yard. Landscaping is a bitch. Today I planted 27 rug junipers. Tomorrow I'll spread the pine straw. Then I only have 1 more

Just watched this movie. I liked it thought most review sites panned it. Was confusing if you don't pay attention. A ghost story. A woman goes to Russia to find her birth mother. Once there she finds out that her mother has left her a house. She has a hard time finding anyone to take her to the house because it is damned. Finally someone agrees to take her there, but once there he promptly

The following excerpt is from Summer's Promise, part of Hot Summer Nights Anthology due for release later this summer. HSN will be released by Liquid Silver Books. After you've read the excerpt, let me know what you think.Delilah powered through the water, using her pent-up frustration as a means to propel herself.She didn’t know how many laps she had swum, but the number didn’t really matter.

Hot Summer Nights is coming soon. Here's a taste of Summer's Promise.“I want to hold you next to me. Dance with me.” The heat in his eyes lit a similar flame in her. She nodded her consent.Taking her hand, he pulled her from their table and led her to the dance floor. The band started covering Los Lobos’ Beautiful Maria of My Soul. There were a few others out on the tiny floor.Delilah couldn

I'm using Kelly Slater as my inspiration for my hero. He's like the world's geatest surfer. AND he's totally HOT. I'm think about calling it If It Swells. HA HA

Kathleen E. Woodiwiss has passed away, she was 68. She wrote 13 novels over the course of 35 years and received a lifetime achievement award from the Romance Writers of America in 1988.A great lady, a great writer. She will be missed. Many give her credit as the mother of the modern historical romance. I doubt there are many romance readers (my age) who have not read The Flame and the Flower

I have been on a tear this week. For those you you not from southeastern NC, a tear means a rampage. I've hated my garden and all the friggin' weeds. Hated the damn June bugs that are destroying my peach and plum trees. Hate my cluttered house. Cussed at the fact it's time to repaint my front and back porches.

Found another review of Deadly Inheritance. It's a shame that only reviewers get to read it."I enjoyed the premise behind Deadly Inheritance, a vampire with a conscience how could you go wrong. Jayelle sets an easy pace to the flow of the story and manages to put a lot of the history of Dracula’s legend in the book. If you are a vampire fan then Deadly Inheritance is a story you will enjoy."

Dracula's Castle is for sell! How cool. I want to buy it. It is the inspiration for Deadly Inheritance. I would dearly love to own a castle. Here take a look at it. Wouldn't it be a great dinner conversation starter? So how much is said property? Let me look... Wow! Between $80 and $136 million. That's a lot of books to sell. Hmm. Maybe I'll just keep writing stories about faraway places.

"Victorian Gothic authors of old would rejoice in the way author Drewry sets a haunting scene reminiscent of their style; a castle in decay, thick forests shrouded in mist, moonlit gardens where a mysterious stranger awaits. It’s these scenes in and around the castle estate that are the strongest in the story. Ivan’s background is also interestingly spun with how the author borrows from

Here's a snippet from my lastest review! “... it is seldom that there is a book that touches the heart like Deadly Inheritance. Although it is a short 56 pages you wouldn't know it by the way the author brings the characters and romance to life. In the two, Waking Annabel and Deadly Inheritance, that we have read from this author she has done wonderfully in writing short erotic stories. Reading

It's better than the first."Deadly Inheritance presents a new spin on the Dracula and Jonathan Harker legends, an approach that proves to be delightful and intriguing as well as sensual.

Finally, finally I got a chance to watch Dancing With the Stars. Poor Billy Ray. His time was up. Okay he wasn't the best of dancers. He didn't deserve to be in the semi-finals. He didn't deserve to last as long as he did. But he was soooo charming and self-depreciating. I couldn't help but like him.Apolo did a fantastic job! I think he has a chance of winning this thing.

Deadly Inheritance is my first vampire story. It will soon (remember soon is a relative word) be for sale at Triskelion. I hope you enjoy the excerpt.Ivan ran his tongue along the line of his upper teeth. His incisors were elongated, at least an inch in length now, the longest they’ve ever been. It was the hunger. The need to feed was consuming him. His teeth seemed to grow in direct proportion

All I can say is thank goodness for DVR. When I'm in a jam it'll record my favorite shows so I can watch them later. Such was the case with Dancing with the Stars. I've had a very busy week this week and didn't get to watch the dancing or see the results. But my trusty and anything but dusty DVR allowed me to zip through both shows today.In short:Apolo, Joey, and Laila? WOW! I think they'll

Karl Urban, I remember him from Lord of the Rings. I was too inlove with Viggo at the time to give him much thought. I'm pay attention now! He's got a new movie out, The Pathfinder, and may I say from the looks of him he can find a path to my door anytime. I looked for a better picture, but this was all I could find. Sigh. I guess I'll have to go to the movies.Found this picture too. My what a

I didn't have the chance to comment on Dancing with the Stars last week. Sorry. But I'm back. But I did see Shandi is gone. Let me go on record as saying, my heart is not broken. The judges nailed it when they called her Barbie, she was a fake as any barbie I'd ever seen. Tonight was the Paso Doble and the waltz. The Paso Doble is soooo sexy. The waltz is so graceful.Laila and Maksim - I really

Yes the stars were out again tonight.Apollo came out of the gate with a great Quickstep. I agree with the judges, he has a lot of potential.Shandi (Miss USA 2004) was next. The judges called them Barbie and Ken. I agree. They look good, but are too fake. I just don't like this couple.Poor Clyde the glide. Likable? Check. Nice guy? Check. Dancer? Nope.

Okay. I admit it. I'm a reality tv junkie. Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, and Big Brother are my favorites. Dancing with the Stars kicked off a new season last night.

This time I was disappointed. Not at the score. Waking Annabel is the first time I had ever put pen to paper, so to speak, so I knew there would be a lot of flaws. Plus a 78 is not bad. So why am I disappointed. Because this review was so bland! I'd rather her rip me a new one than the tripe she handed me. The only reason I wanted her to review is so she could tear it apart. No, I'm not a sadist.

Mrs. Giggles has reviewed The Outcast. When I compare it to her review of The Other Half though, she has picked totally different things to criticize. This time it was the story line.As for the storyline and characters here's what she had to say:"I have mixed feelings about the author's werewolves...women are submissive and men are the dominant in every way...

The following excerpt in about 2000 words. Feel free to give me some feedback.Chapter ThreeDelilah powered through the water, using her spent up frustration as a means to propel herself. She didn’t know how many laps she had swum, the number didn’t really matter. All that mattered was that she was no longer anywhere near as aggravated as she had been when she first jumped into the pool. At least

I've been working on my short story for the summer vacation anthology. I'm a little over 7000 words into it. That's roughly 46.7% complete. If I could write everyday, I would be much farther along. But writing everyday is not a luxury I can afford. Between two boys and a full time job, I'm lucky to write every other day. Plus I had company last weekend and this weekend.
