#ThrowbackThursday Ultimate Fan Girl Moment with Nora Roberts

There are some moments as a writer and reader that you will never forget. One of those moments was being invited to sign at the Turn the Page bookstore and sitting next to Nora Roberts at the signing! Well, sitting next to Nora’s fabulous son and assistant at the signing. Afterward, I got a chance to get a picture with her and chat with her a bit. She is such an open and lovely person. It really meant a lot to me then and it still does. Here are some pictures from that day and to prove I really did sit next to her, you can see the plaid shirt in both shots!

As for why I’m holding the plush beagle doll, I had a beagle named Spotty in THE LOST and he was keeping me company on my trip up to the 2012 RITA Awards.

#WriteWed Summer & My Little Balcony

My favorite time of year is the summer! I look forward to long strolls along the boardwalk, time spent reading romance novels on the beach, fireworks, and last but not least, writing on my little balcony.

It’s not big in size, but it’s immense in the peace it brings me as I sit out there writing or just hanging out with my hubby, enjoying a summer day.

I write a lot more on that little balcony than I do during the winter months when I’m trapped indoors by the cold. Brrr. Winter is so not my favorite time of year.

This morning I’m sharing with you some photos from that special space and hoping I can go out there again soon!

#FunFriday Create Something Magical Conference & First Day of Spring

Woo hoo spring is here . . . oh wait, snow is on the way. Sigh. Just a little longer and maybe it will warm up!

In the meantime, I’ll warm up with some friends at the Create Something Magical Conference this weekend. I can’t wait to hear some of the panels, rub elbows with the readers and other authors, and spend time with my best friend, my daughter. Besides owning a fabulous surf and skate shop, she’s also an aspiring author. She self-published FOLLOWING JANE and she’ll be pitching her new book this weekend to some editors.

Very exciting.

To try and keep us optimistic that spring really is here, I’m sharing some flowers with you!

#ThrowbackThursday CJ Hollenbach & Me!

Many years ago I had one of the better known cover models for one of my releases – CJ Hollenbach! CJ is such a sweet man and when I ran into him years later at an RT Convention, this Prince Charming posed for this picture with me.

CJ was supposed to be on the cover of ALL MY LOVE, but at the last minute the cartoony cover craze had them switch it out. Here are the original covers!

ALL MY LOVE Cartoon cover

I’ve since edited and re-released ALL MY LOVE which is now available for pre-order as TAMING THE BACHELOR. This novel is specially priced at 99 cents until May 1.

#ManCandyMonday The Heroes of the Take a Chance Series & Release Day

Thank you so so much for the wonderful reception youâ€™ve given to the Take a Chance erotic military romance series. I am so pleased that you are enjoying these sexy and emotional stories! The next release in the series, ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE, is available TODAY. I think youâ€™ll love this story about Army Staff Sargent Bridget Sullivan and retired Navy Captain Mark Smith and a night that brings them both more than what they expected, but totally what they wanted.

Since today is Man Candy Monday, I’ve got a little video for you with all the sexy heroes of the Take a Chance series! Click here if you cannot see the Take a Chance Heroes Video.

A Little More About ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE

She wasnâ€™t the kind of woman who wore fancy dresses or did one night
stands. . .

Bridget Sullivan preferred her Army uniform and work boots to elegant evening gowns. Getting all done up for some fancy Memorial Day gala wasnâ€™t in her plans, but itâ€™s hard to resist the thought of seeing handsome retired Navy Captain Mark Smith again. It also means spending time with the cadre of ex-military friends who have made her return to civilian life a little easier to handle. But when Mark presses for more, will she break her rigid rules for one sexy night?

The only thing he likes better than a woman in uniform is seeing her out of it . . .

Especially if itâ€™s sexy Staff Sergeant Bridget Sullivan. Since meeting Bridget a month earlier, Mark Smith has been attracted to the gorgeous woman who seems intent on hiding her beauty and her courage. Bridgetâ€™s determination to make it in a usually male world, from her choice of the Army to her current construction job, intrigues Mark. When Bridget sheds her muddy jeans and sneakers for sexy high heels and a slit-to-there dress, Mark is more than willing to help her explore her new feminine side. But can one night of pleasure lead to more?

You can buy ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE at the following retailers!

#TeaserTuesday ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE Excerpt

Happy Teaser Tuesday! Today I’ve got an excerpt for you from ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE, the next novella in the Take a Chance series.

This was a tough novella for me to write since I knew when I started that it might not have the kind of happily-ever-after that some readers might want. But as the story developed, I knew that these two characters were not only meant to be together, but to have something wonderful and unexpected happen at the end of the story! It made me tear up a bit and smile, and I hope you’ll feel the same way.

Without further ado . . . ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE.
