This blog is dying from lack of interest...


Thanks to those of you who stayed with me. I might post something from time to time, but only for my own pleasure.  Take care.

Love,

Free read Tuesdays coming up...


Which book in this anthology would you like to have me begin with?

Double Your Pleasure


Helen is working a latte shop just outside an upscale high-rise apartment in Manhattan. Switching shifts with her boss, she finds herself face-to-face with the most delicious, maddeningly arrogant men she’s ever met. He’s hot and sexy as hell, but the fact that he can’t lift his eyes from her chest is a strike against him.  Too bad he’s such a jerk…she would have loved to get to know him better. But as soon as he’s out of sight, she turns around to find another one, just like him, but this one looks her in the eye, and has a smile that takes her breath away. Dear Lord, there are two of them?


Jason and Jonathon Blackstone have the same taste in clothes, cars and women. Identical twins, they often trade clothes…and sometimes they even share their women. Jon may have seen her first, but Jace intends to be the man who gets her. Unfortunately, he may just end up having to share again, since the sexy coffee girl seems to want them both.

Her Own Set of Rules


Bored with her sex life with a husband she still loves, but who has the Saturday-night, three-minute orgasm—his—down to a fine art, Haley takes the first step on a journey of sexual discovery when Josh, younger brother of her closest friend, expresses a decidedly carnal interest in her. The result is more than she imagined in her raunchiest fantasies.


Josh has had a crush on Haley since he was a kid, gangly and too damn tall for his weight. But he isn’t a kid anymore, and he grew into his six foot five inches, plus some. He’s come back home for one thing only—for a shot at the girl he fell for when he was too damn young to do much about it.


But Harry’s not done with his wife—not when he finds out that inside that prim, repressed shell, she’s been hiding the sexual temptress he’s always hungered for. Now all Haley has to do is ask, and two men are ready to give her everything she wants.

You have to leave me a comment and tell me which story you want me to start posting here every Tuesday...

If nobody states their preference, Free Read Tuesdays are off the menu...it's up to my readers...

Tell me what you want to see on this blog. I've been sorta flying blind for a long time, since nobody posts comment to let me know what they prefer to see here. I have been told that people do come and read, but just don't post a comment. And I am not one who goes onto big Yahoo Loops and begs for people to come over and read. 

I supposedly have 107 followers on this blog, and only about three of them let me know they have read my blog. I have been mulling over just dumping this blog completely, and only posting to Facebook, but I was told by blog members that they really do come to read. So if you really do come to read, and you want this blog to continue, now is the time to let me know.

Pick one of the books in the Broken Rules anthology, and I will post two chapters of that book every Tuesday.  
If nobody speaks up, that will be my answer.

To those of you who have stuck with me since this blog began in 2009, I really have appreciated your continued loyalty. For those who joined from our acquaintance on Facebook, I thank you for coming over. For those who have actually taken a moment to comment, my deepest gratitude. It is always good to know that readers do appreciate the efforts authors go to when they attempt to share with their readers.

So let me know...even if you have already read these books, and want something different. Heck...who knows?  If you are the only one who comments, and you ask for a difference read, you just might get your wish. :)

Hugs!

Half-price sale on books at Ellora's Cave!


Now 50% off at Ellora's Cave

Those of you who have not purchased my older books are in luck...because Ellora's Cave has reduced the prices on many of our older releases by 50%! 

Of course, Amazon and other third party sellers have also reduced the prices...but I actually get a better share of the cover price when readers buy my books from my publisher...and you end up paying less buying from Ellora's Cave.

So if you want to assure an author that they will get a better deal, don't buy from Amazon. Amazon gets a bigger cut of the pie than the publisher or the author. Even those of us who have done self-pubbed books with Kindle are getting shafted by the company that cuts author profits by offering our books for free under the Kindle Unlimited plan...some authors have lost close to 75% of their royalties by agreeing to Kindle Unlimited. 

Writing is a real job. Having someone undercut what little profit we manage to get with all the competition out there makes it difficult for authors to keep working hard to give our fans great books.

Many of us started self-publication with Kindle because we wanted more than a minor cut of the pie. But after the first couple of years of everything going great, Amazon started throwing more monkey-wrenches into the works. To be guaranteed the wide-spread public recognition afforded by Amazon's world-wide audience, authors had to give up more and more of their share of the pie. 

So if you want to check out the Ellora's Cave website and look for great bargains, please do!  Buying direct from the publisher assures you the lowest available prices, and assures that your favorite authors can continue to bring you more of what you want to see.

Hugs.
