Wow–Affaire de Coeur gave HOTTER AFTER MIDNIGHT five stars!  Lani Roberts said the book was, “”A page-turning erotic adventure that you won’t want to put down until the end.”   I will consider this review a most awesome early birthday present!  🙂

(Thank you so much, Lani!)

And, speaking of Affaire de Coeur…there is a fantastic article up on their website about creating a romance book club.  Now I’ve been wanting to create a romance book club for quite a while.  I just can’t get into the “Oprah Book Club” type books.  I like my romance.  Give me historicals, give me funny contemporaries, or give me my dark paranormals–but I need my romance and I have to get my happy ending in order to be a, well, happy woman.

I’m going to try following the guidelines for the romance club–I’ll keep you posted and let you know how things work out.

I’m out blogging today–I’m at the Brava Blog and at The Bradford Bunch.

Come and visit if you have the chance!

WHEN HE WAS BAD should now by on the shelves in a bookstore near you.  🙂  Yay!  Just in time for the summer reading season.

In “Wicked Ways” (my contribution to the anthology), my hero is a jaguar shifter.  As I was researching jaguars, I discovered some interesting facts:

(Okay, interesting to me, anyway…)

*The jaguar was once worshipped by several early cultures–like the Aztecs and the Maya.

*The word jaguar roughly translates to mean “the killer that takes its prey in a single bound.”

*During mating, jaguars in the wild “can copulate up to 100 times a day.”  Seriously.  That fact kinda blew my mind.

I have an excerpt from “Wicked Ways” on my site–so if you haven’t already taken a peek, do go and read the sample from the story.  (Who knows?  You might find more fun jaguar facts…)

I can’t believe how quickly time is flying by! On Tuesday, WHEN HE WAS BAD will be on store shelves! (Okay, I’ve already gotten reports of some sightings, but the book will be “officially” out then.)

I decided to make a little teaser for the book–hope you enjoy it!

Poking my head up from editing mode (I should be at the half-way mark before I sleep tonight–yay!), to wish everyone a fantastic holiday weekend!  Be safe and have fun!

My dad is a veteran and when Memorial Day rolls around, I know that he always takes a bit of time to remember those he served with–and lost so long ago.  So, please, do take some time to remember the fallen this weekend.

And, on a brighter note…on Saturday, The Bradford Bunch will have a great guest blogger:  Angie Fox.  Angie has what looks like an absolutely fabulous (and hilarious!) new paranormal coming from Dorchester.  THE ACCIDENTAL DEMON SLAYER will hit stores shelves on July 29.

(I love this cover!)
