Adios, 2011

So this holiday season, Amy over at Fiction Vixen has made a list. She's checked it twice. And as far as I can tell most everyone on it is naughty - including me!

Amy's Top Picks for 2011 includes my last release, Out Of The Blue. Big thanks to Amy, and I'm thrilled she enjoyed it enough to give it an honourable mention.

And I'm going to take the opportunity to give a huge thanks to Venessa at Loose Id, editor extraordinaire. Anyone can write a book, but it takes a good editor to make that book something you can publish without hanging your head in shame. From the first puzzling draft in which I *ahem* failed to catch all the places where  the character names changed, to giving me a smack on the arse repeatedly over a clunky sex scene (which after multiple reads and a huge brain fart I just couldn't see), she was awesome. In less capable hands, OOTB would have been a bomb. Venessa and everyone at Loose Id get gold stars for such hard work.

OOTB wasn't my only release this past year. Head Over Heels released from Total-E-Bound and the team there is as much of a dream to work with. In both cases there were some great bloggers ready to review and promote these releases -- Susi at Secret HEA Society (formerly The Geeky Bookworm) and Book Lovers Inc & my good friend Dhympna of Culinary Carnivale to name a few, and author Dakota Cassidy for hosting me at her FB page (that was lots of fun.)

I had some stories in anthologies this past year and a few more to come for 2012, which I'm excited about. I'm on a bit of a writing hiatus at the moment but hopefully will be kicking around something new and fun in time for fall (which happens to be when my girl Saranna DeWylde has some long-awaited releases from Kensington books.)

Happy New Year, bitches!

Pre-Order GOING DOWN

I really wish this anthology was out in winter instead of May :) That's because it features my short story, "Snowjob" and it's all about a snow plow driver and a vindictive shovel-weary divorcée. Inspired by all the hours spent knee-deep in snow, it'll give you something to think about the next time Mr. Plow comes along and ruins all your hard work.

Available in May 2012

End of Summer update

Hello all!

Some great news -- last week I signed a contract for a short story titled, "Safe For Work" to be included in an upcoming Cleis anthology, Irresistible: Erotic Romance for Couples. I'm quite fond of this story, about a couple who works together and can't wait to play together when five o'clock hits. You won't be able to buy it until February, but you can pre-order it now from Amazon and at the moment get it at 42% off. While I haven't got a roster of other authors at this time, I'm betting that it will be outstanding -- editor Rachel Kramer Bussel always puts together a great anthology. 

It's great to be a part of this anthology, not only because Cleis always produces top-notch erotica, but also ... well, I'm not going to lie to you. The writing well ran dry this summer. I couldn't squeeze out a drop of I tried, which was kind of a good thing -- this is the first summer I haven't buried myself in writing, instead enjoying some of the sunshine and all that summery goodness. Two vacations, one in June and the other in August, and I look less like an albino. So even though I had some good ideas rolling around in my head I just gave into summer. I really needed the brain-break, but now I'm ready to get back into the swing of things. I feel a mini-spurt of creativity coming on and I'm really excited about producing a few short stories and a couple of novels.

Have you read Out of the Blue? This story has been out for six months and I'm so pleased that people really seem to be enjoying it, and I've had one person pestering me about writing a sequel (love you, Pia, but sadly, no, Etienne, Georgie & Anthony don't need me any more.)

As we get deeper into the fall I'll be posting a snippet of "Safe For Work." In the mean time, be sure to get your copy of the last Cleis antho I was a part of, Passion, or enjoy another fun bit of couples erotica in Nice Girls, Naughty Sex, or any of the publications on my bookshelf.

The Hot Shot: Parts I & II

The lovely ladies of Oysters & Chocolate Erotic have published my latest story, "The Hot Shot" in two parts. Two hot models and one photographer who just needs to relax ... what a fun, sexy story to write!

Kyle stood on the hood of the car, legs spread, camera pointed down at them. Carly squinted up at him. Her hands were flat against the hot metal in front of her. She didn’t breathe as Donne slid his hand over her shoulder and clamped down. The other hand curled at the hem of her skirt.

“Not yet,” Kyle said, “just hold her like that for a minute. She’s not sure that this is what she wants. Make it more of a challenge for her.”

Carly swallowed to keep the scornful sound at the back of her throat from getting loose. A trickle of sweat ran along her temple. It wasn’t just the summer heat. Her blood was simmering beneath the skin. All the heat in her body was centered between her legs where Donne’s thigh was wedged.

To hell with having to get to work. She’d made up her mind to call in sick. She didn’t want to be this character. She wanted to be Carly, back in the bedroom with Donne, legs wrapped around him as he fucked her long and hard.

"You’re just realizing that you’ve tried to fuck over the wrong man,” Kyle said. “Mr. Moneybags came off as being vanilla, easily manipulated by showing him a bit of what you’ve got. Now you get it. Now you realize that he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

She’d never mistake Donne for a sheep. He wore his outfit well. The dress shirt was unbuttoned and the tie hung loose around his neck. There was nothing benign about that smirk or the calculated way he moved, like a snake coiling around its prey, seducing while it prepared to strike.

Donne dragged her up against him and nuzzled his face into her hair. He shifted behind her, and she felt the hard column of his cock through his trousers. “You don’t seem like the type.
