In my last post, I alluded to finding my books a new home. I’ve gotten the rights back to Awakening Allaire and Avenging Allaire and I’m pleased to announce I’m marketing them through 1RomanceEbooks. I was honored to be invited to join the ranks there with some very prestigious authors. Having said this, I don’t want to infer anything derogatory about Class Act Books. I maintain a warm friendship with Publisher Bev Haynes, and some of the authors still there. It was just time for me to move on. So make some time and visit me over at 1RomanceEbooks. From sweet to sizzling, you’ll find something you like.

I’m participating! They have oodles of fabulous prizes to give away from The Long and Short of It Whipped Cream (erotica) side as well as Long and Short Reviews Romance. It’s pretty simple to participate - just find the Easter eggs hidden on the Web sites of the sponsors and authors. Click here to see the great prizes and get the scoop. You can win an autographed print copy of Awakening Allaire in this contest. It was a 2009 LASR Best Book nominee and I’d love to send it to you. Have fun! If you can’t wait to get your hands on either book, click on Awakening Allaire’s ad and it’ll also take you right to 1RomanceEbooks.

I’m on the couch hanging out today at The Menagerie. Stop in and learn what the weirdest food I’ve eaten has been... and what my reaction was. You’ll also learn a bunch of other things about me, like how my family and friends view my work, where I got started, and what I want to know about the future. Bring a beer, bring a cup of coffee, bring a friend, and visit with me. It’s no fun to blog alone! They also have some GREAT eye candy…18+ years old only!

After a lot of indecision, I went back to Love Bites and edited it some more. I’d subbed it last month and in between, I re-read the story. Some things just bugged me. I think most authors will say every time they look at one of their stories they find something to fiddle with. Yep, I’m a fiddler too. So yesterday I subbed it someplace else (I don’t like to disclose where I’ve submitted) and I’m crossing my fingers. I’m really trying hard to break into a bigger publishing company and I hope I’m successful. I don’t have a lot of hope that Awakening Allaire and Avenging Allaire will be re-released - maybe - but I’m not hanging my hat on it. I’m looking forward to my next step up!

     

I had some exciting news recently - I’m going to LA to a For Love Charity Event. The actors mentioned in the dedication for my first two books will be there - Alison Sweeney and James Scott. Silly as it may seem to you, I can’t wait to have them autograph my books and put a copy in their hands. Wouldn’t it be cool if they actually had time to read them and let me know what they thought? Many, many of my Forbidden Love girlfriends will be there and I’m rooming with my beta reader, Leslie. I can hardly wait!

I’m sorry I haven’t been around a whole lot. I got that nasty winter flu everyone was hacking and wheezing about and really got behind. On top of that, I picked up a bunch of freelance work. I write and edit for a direct marketing firm part time and keep my magazine freelance business going, too. Writing books has to get squeezed in during my spare time (what is that?). Anyway, with moving my first two novels to 1RomanceEbooks, and everything else, time has been scarce. Some authors blog every day. I just don’t have that much to say that I think you want to know about. I’m always open to subjects and questions…jot me a note. I’d love to hear from you.

Until the next time.
