Oh, YAY!

Dearest readers, I have an exciting secret to share!!



No, it's not about bacon, but this pic *is* hilarious, don't you think?

My news is.....I've sold another book to Berkley! The Fiery Tales series will continue into 2011!!



This book will be different than AWAKENED BY A KISS and THE PRINCESS IN HIS BED. Though the new book will be a Fiery Tale -- a wicked retelling of a classic fairy tale -- what makes this book different is that it won't be a collection of stories, but a full length book! Woohoo!

And I'm cooking up a wonderful tale that will be romantic and steamy with a yummy hero and a strong heroine, oh and some fun secondary characters to keep the hero and heroine on their toes.

Tentative release date is: October 2011!!

Check back for more details!

I've finally done it. I've started Twittering. If you're on Twitter connect with me HERE!

June Contest!!

I've had so much fun with the contests I've been hosting each month!

For my June Contest, I carefully contemplated the prizes I'd give away. I've got things picked out this month and possibly for next month. Oh, and the August giveaway will be something special, too. In case it hasn't been obvious, I like to give away prizes that are out of the norm, but special.

I love surprises, especially in the gift form.

So, dearest readers, my June Contest will be as follows:

One lucky winner will receive a signed copy of AWAKENED BY A KISS, as soon as I receive my copies, AND a special surprise gift, picked out my yours truly.

Wednesday's Kisses! Kisses in the Dark...

First, dearest readers, some more sightings of AWAKENED BY A KISS, HERE! It's a thrill every time I see my book on the web. Dear Caroline of Book Lovers Inc. and One Book Away From Heaven will be hosting me on both blogs in July and August, respectively! I can't wait!

Also, a wonderful AWAKENED BY A KISS Blog Tour is in the works. Many incredible blogs, and even some chances to win prizes. Stay tuned! The list will soon appear on the right hand side of this blog.

And finally, to our hot kisses . . . Our theme today, Kisses in the dark. So delicious! There is something about kisses in the dark. Because sight is somewhat diminished, the other senses spike. Taste, touch . . .well, you get where I'm going. *winks*

Each picture is accompanied by portions of TO HIS MISTRESS GOING TO BED, by 17th century poet, John Donne. This man's writing is hot!

Licence my roving hands, and let them go
Before, behind, between, above, below.




. . .How am I blest in thus discovering thee !
To enter in these bonds, is to be free ;
Then, where my hand is set, my soul shall be.



. . .Full nakedness ! All joys are due to thee ;
As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be. . .



. . .To teach thee, I am naked first ; why then,
What needst thou have more covering than a man?
