Winter is definitely on its way...

Snow is coming down in the mountains, and the fall colors are taking over the valley...

I love this time of year...even though I don't like freezing cold, the change from the scalding temps of late summer is always welcome...except when it jumps from 95 degrees to 39 degrees in one week. BRRRRR.

I really love being in a place that gets the full season changes every year.  Halloween is coming up...my new book will be released this month...and the snap in the air is wonderful.  Did I mention that I went out and bought two new coats last week?

Now, if you live in Florida or southern California or Arizona or Las Vegas, the changing seasons are not quite as obvious.  How do you deal with Christmas without snow? Autumn without falling leaves? Or spring with temps in the 90's?

I guess it's all a matter of personal preferences.

Sigh...

Last year I had six books published. This year, I have only one so far. But the uphill battle with my muse was worth every moment. I certainly hope that this offering meets with the exacting standards my readers have impressed on me. LOL!

I have been threatened with all manner of dire consequences if this book does not meet the standards of at least four readers.  What are those standards, you ask?  Well, here they are:

1.)  The hero must be intensely hot and sexy

2.)  The Heroine must be feisty and funny

3.)  The book must contain at least one Native American character

4.)  And the book must be over 70 pages...

I hope that I have met or exceeded those standards. I suppose I'll find out when the release comes out on October 18th. 

You know, people complain that my books are too short. However, when I try to "flesh them out", they tend to get slammed for being "not exciting enough".  You know, putting 100 hot sex scenes into a book takes a lot out of an author...

I love writing erotic romance, but if you have noticed, most of my books have only the lovers, plus maybe one or two secondary characters.  Yes...I could flesh out the books to make them 50 pages longer, but the heat and the humor would suffer if I had ten secondary characters. 

What do you think?  If you have read any of my books, tell me whether you would prefer to have a longer story. Do my books need more sex or violence or suspense? I want to hear your thoughts on these things...

Hugs!

I have a release date!

Coming October 18, 2013!

Skinwalker's Woman

Running away from heartache is easier than facing it. But when Chellie runs from a bad relationship with a cheating ex and lands smack-dab in the arms of a hot and sexy stranger who thinks she was born to be his mate, could things get any weirder?

They sure can…especially when she discovers she’s a closet nymphomaniac and he’s a shape-shifting explosion of animal magnetism she simply can’t resist.

Beginning Friday, October 18th, I will begin my new release contest on my website. Be sure to drop over and check out the contest rules...

Hugs!

Just finished first edits...

I love my editor!

She's faster than greased lightning...and so am I. I got the edits this afternoon and zipped them back to her this evening. It's wonderful to have an editor who likes my stuff. I went through a period of time when my editor detested my stuff...and I almost stopped writing all together. It really does take a team to make these things work. My editor is a great teammate.

If the copy editor and FLE get this one finished as quickly, I might have this one out within the next 60 days or so. Whoot!

Wish me luck...

Hugs!

I love Native American characters...

I love writing them into my books...

I love reading about them in books by other authors. There is just something deep and magnetic about them. In Skinwalker's Woman, both hero and heroine are NA. I woke up one morning and I sat down to write, and things just poured out. Which is my usual method of writing. My muse just grabs me by the ear and shoves me into the chair and says, "write or die..."

I have begun to feel isolated in my writing. Alone. I write for myself. Even my blogs are written for myself rather than for others. They are an extension of me, and very few share them, read them, or drop by. I no longer go to the loops and ask for folks to come read. I figure they will show up if they wonder what I'm up to.

I post photos that mean something to me. I talk about things that make me think happy thoughts. So this one is short and sweet. And if anyone reads it and wants to comment, that's great. If not, that's also okay. 

Hugs...
