A New Print Release!

Today is a wonderful day.

The Be-Wished series, five years in the making, consists of four books: All In, A Wolf at Her Door, Once Upon a Kiss, and Just Winging It. The first two stories were published in their own print anthology last year called Wolf Wishes. 

Now, the second volume, Midnight Wishes has been published in print!

I hadn’t seen the cover until today, but I love it. As an author who has most of her stories sold digitally, it’s exciting and special when you see your work in print. One of these days, I’ll do a book signing. Maybe at the Romance Writers of America Conference or the Romantic Times convention next year.

Until then, I’m just thrilled to have these books available.

Spider Webs…Japanese Rope Bondage

Max, the hero of my novella Fit To Be Tied, is an entomologist who specializes in tarantulas and an aficionado of Japanese rope bondage, otherwise known as shibari. I think tarantulas are fascinating and I liked the subtle tie (pardon the pun) between a spider web and Japanese rope bondage.

In the book I mention one particular species of tarantula, Haplopelma lividum–the Cobalt Blue. Although beautiful, they’re particularly quick and vicious. Here’s a great quality video showing a Cobalt Blue snatching up a cricket. The action is over fairly quick, but you can really see incredible detail on the spider.
Are you afraid of spiders? Or are you like me, just a little bit morbidly fascinated by them?

Once Upon a Kiss Celebration – Day Seven

Tomorrow is the big day when Once Upon A Kiss comes out! I’m so excited and can’t wait.

If you are interested in on-screen kisses, check out this list of the Best and Most Memorable Film Kisses of All Time in Cinematic History. It’s twenty five pages long and the first one is from 1896! It’s current to 2009. Check it out. I got lost looking at the various kisses for quite a while.

Today, I want to know if you have a favorite on-screen kiss. One of my favorites is actually Lady and the Tramp–the spaghetti kiss.

Is there a kiss between humans that you especially remember?

Comments enter you to win your choice of one of my books. Winner to be announced tomorrow!

Once Upon a Kiss Celebration – Day Six

Obviously in my newest novella from Ellora’s Cave, Once Upon A Kiss, a kiss plays an important role in the plot. This is typical fairy tale fare. Snow White and Sleeping Beauty needed the lips of a man in order to get their happy ending. In my story, it’s the hero, Joe, who needs a lip lock.

So, today, just for fun, let’s pretend you’re deep in enchanted dreamland. Who would you want to give you your up-close and personal wake up call? (Boyfriends and husbands don’t count.)

Comment and you are entered to win your choice of one of any of my books. Winner to be announced Wednesday, August 25!
