my sister,
the river, tells me
of her past-
I then tell her
of my future...

My co-author for Nopeming Shores, J. Andrew Lockhart, gifted me with that tanka to help me set the tone for 2012.  It's opening before me, full of adventures to share with my readers and friends.

In the first quarter –

RAZOR with K.B. Cutter

Blurb: Amy and Bryce don't live the D/s lifestyle, but Bryce is every bit the dominant in the bedroom. And Amy's had enough of it. She takes a drastic step to help Bryce see that being a switch can be a very good thing.

K.B. Cutter lends his wonderful talent for psychological and dark drama to this story. He also was instrumental in developing Bryce's character. Believe me, Bryce has an ego the size of Mount Rushmore in the bedroom, and he's not going to give in easily. K.B. makes sure every dark thought and snarl is felt when he's cornered, and reveals every bit of passion for his wife when he's near her.

I had the honor of developing the storyline arc for the first segment and writing the female characters. Yes, that's a plural. Amy may be a meek name, but this woman has surprising determination and secrets. When she makes her bold suggestion to Bryce, she does it with an open mind and a lot of confidence many women wouldn't have. I suppose it helps that she has more than one ulterior motive.

RAZOR is a very intense, explicit drama. The first installment comes as part of a BDSM anthology, Bound by Love, from Sizzler Editions. We expect the release the first week of February.

After that, K.B. and I will flesh out a full novel. RAZOR has way too many exciting possibilities to end at 9,000 words. The story will explore the D/s lifestyle and include aspects not commonly written about in typical romances. RAZOR will arouse and entice you in ways you won't expect.

Krewe Daddy by Margie Church

Blurb: Luis is the Daddy, a sought after lover, with an ego to match the mammoth-sized Mardi Gras floats he designs. His lifestyle and reputation are wearing him out, but Luis can't find a satisfying way to break the cycle and be happy, too.

Drew's insecurities pushed him to have a foolish affair six years ago. It destroyed his relationship with Luis and he's never been able to commit to anyone since. He's taken control of his life and changed his submissive personality by becoming a model for Kevin Marks, and a wildlife enforcement agent in New Orleans.

These men haven't forgotten each other or settled their differences. They accidentally meet in a gay bar, and the years of regret, anger, and pent-up emotions bubble to the surface. Their passion is as hot as ever, their mistrust just as potent. When Drew's future is in Luis' hands, will he choose love or his lifestyle?

Drew is a character you should remember from Hard as Teak. He is the one who got away and this is his story of redemption. Krewe Daddy is an erotic m/m romance that will be released February 27, from Noble Romance.  With any luck, it'll be a bestseller the way Hard as Teak was!

Sequel to The 18^th Floor

Also promised for the first half of the year is this piece. If you enjoy erotic BDSM romance, check out the first book now, and watch for another featuring the delicious Alexa and her beloved, Dom, Sebastian.

One Night Stand

This short story is still vegging in the recesses of my brain. (Can't be that far back cuz I'm blond.) My pals Kate and Val have been waiting more than a year for me to fork one of these over. I'll get 'er done this year.

Conferences

I'm thinking about several – Romance Times, Erotic Authors Association, Gay Authors, and a couple of reader events. My goal is to get in front of more readers this year, so any opportunity to do that will be higher on my radar.

I hope you will enjoy these books and keep in touch. Watch for excerpts and snippets on my website very soon. Buy all my titles on Amazon. 

Thanks for your friendship and for being a fan. Happy New Year.
