Last week I shared with you some adorable kittens and since I want to have an equal opportunity Fun Friday, this morning it’s puppies! Golden retriever puppies and dare you not to love them.
Sadly, as much as I love these kinds of dogs, I’m highly allergic to them. I get near one and I start wheezing and get hives if they rub up against me. A real shame since I think they are beautiful!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
It’s Wicked Wednesday and that means it’s time for a little sexy teaser! Today I’m sharing something from NIGHT OF THE COUGAR, my June erotic paranormal romance novella for the Nocturne Cravings line.
This is a story of reunited lovers and I just love that kind of story line. I always wonder what made it not work the first time around and how this time things will be different, especially when the heroine, Jamie Morrison, is facing a very different man from the man with whom she first fell in love.
Here’s a little teaser for the story:
Reporter Jamie Morrison got the scoop of a lifetime when she snagged a meeting with bestselling author Galen Hawke, but their rendezvous didn’t end with an interview. Their immediate attraction led to a wicked night together and a plan to meet again—until an accident left Galen changed forever….
Now, one year later, Jamie is sent to interview Galen once more. When a snowstorm strands them together in his remote mountain lodge, they are both eager to explore their reawakened passion. But will Jamie stay by Galen’s side when she discovers what he’s become?
Also a little behind the scenes: Jamie was the original name of the heroine from THE CLAIMED. However, since there was already another woman with a man’s name – Sammie – there was some concern that readers might be confused. Sammie had appeared in earlier books in the series and so I couldn’t change her name. Instead, I changed the heroine’s name to Victoria. But I still loved the Jamie name and since NIGHT OF THE COUGAR is very much about a man and a woman, I decide to use that name for the heroine!

I’m helping my friend Cynthia Eden celebrate the release of ANGEL BETRAYED today! Drop by her blog all day for a number of guest blogs and come visit with me at 9 PM CST as I share THE CLAIMED with you. Leave any questions you’d like to ask in the comments and I’ll be there to answer them!
Hope everyone had a nice weekend! I was able to visit the Shore and get some writing done. I am so excited about the new Diana and Ryder book and can’t wait for you to see it!
But on another note, it’s Man Candy Monday and today’s choice is Taylor Kitsch. I liked him in Friday Night Lights and he’s been on the big screen recently in both JOHN CARTER and BATTLESHIP. Sadly, neither movie has done well. I wasn’t really pulled to go see JOHN CARTER, but I had been intending to see BATTLESHIP. I guess I’ll have to catch it on DVD.
Anyway, here’s a little trailer for you from JOHN CARTER. Maybe a little more shirtless Taylor would have helped? If you can’t see the trailer below, you can click here to watch it.
Iv’e got purring monsters on the mind! I guess I’ve been thinking about Galen from NIGHT OF THE COUGAR too much! Plus we’ve got some adorable strays visiting, all black just like my cat. One of them is a cute little kitten, brimming with energy and busy running her mom ragged.
So here’s a little den of kittens for you this morning, purring away and playful. If you can’t see the video below, you can click here!
It’s hard to believe NIGHT OF THE COUGAR has hit the digital shelves. I just loved writing this story about reunited lovers who are snowbound and have to battle their passion for each other and an unbelievable truth-that the hero is now a werecougar.
I’m sharing a little bit about what inspired me to pick this kind of shifter at the Harlequin Paranormal Romance Blog. Drop by today to read my post, a teaser and a little excerpt from the book.
I’ve always believed that a day that you don’t learn something new is a day wasted. So Sunday I learned about Monkey Butt. Yes, you read that right, Monkey Butt. I had to run to my local drug store and while perusing the shelves, I ran across this product.
This was news to me on Sunday. Monkey butt. Just the words, coupled with the label, conjured up all kinds of ideas on how one might get this affliction. According to Urban Dictionary, you can get it from riding a motorcycle for too long or even from just sweaty activities.
If I had to engage in such a sweaty activity, I know exactly which one it would be.
Oh no, ladies, please get your minds out of the gutter! I was talking about those long strolls I do down the boardwalk in the heat of the summer. What did you think I meant? LOL!
Hope you all had a good laugh today and just keep in mind, if you need some relief, check out this product. It might even be a great way to deal with diaper rash if you’ve got little ones. I wish I had known about it back then. Would have spared me and my little one many a tear.
