Ex Appeal's Cover!

I'm very excited to share this with all of you, because I LOVE this cover. I'm so thrilled I was able to choose the picture to represent Jenny and Ty and hopefully it does them justice.

Here's Ex Appeal's finalized blurb: 

As the webmistress for one of the Northeast’s hottest dating sites, Hunk Du Jour, Jenny Talbot is no stranger to reading the applications of potential clients. But when the latest application that crosses her inbox belongs to Ty Randall,  the guy she broke up with a mere twenty-seven days ago, she does a double take. Reading what Ty wants in bed not only gets Jenny hot, it also makes her rethink ending their relationship. All she longed for was a little more spice in the bedroom—okay, a lot more—but he let her go without an argument. Faced with the possibility that Ty may really be moving on, getting her ex back becomes more appealing than ever. But will revealing exactly what she needs allow Jenny to finally experience ultimate pleasure or will she drive away the man she loves for good?

We're working on edits now and I'll be sure to let everyone know when I have a release date.  

So what do you think? Do you like the cover too?

Since I know you're dying to find out more about me...

In lieu of a real post, I figured I'd do one of some of my favorite things. Kind of a meme about my two favorite subjects - books and music - to give anyone who cares an insight into my head. (Feel free to run away while you can...)

Favorite All-Time Writer: Nora Roberts 

I know, terribly original. But I discovered her 20 years ago, so I was ahead of the curve on this one. ;) If there was ever an author that inspired me to become a writer, it's Nora. I've reread certain books of hers so much they've literally fallen off the bindings. She's as close to comfort mac & cheese for me as any author I've come across.

New Favorite Writer: Jeaniene Frost

I've read Halfway To The Grave four times. Yes, four. Jeaniene's the only author to join Nora on my favorite writer's shelf in twenty years.

Favorite Erotic Romance Writer: Mari Carr

I love her work. She's the first ebook author that became a "must buy" for me on her release days, and much like Nora inspired me to write, Mari's work helped encourage me to give erotic romance writing a try.

Favorite New-To-Me Writer: Selena Robins

I picked up What A Girl Wants last week on a whim from Samhain, because the author had posted some excerpts I enjoyed. I was, quite simply, blown away. Her writing is fun, romantic and sexy and has so many more levels than you expect when you start reading. What A Girl Wants is going on my keeper shelf.

Favorite Singer: Gary Allan (pictured)
He's got a voice that could make a phone listing sound sexy. He has such richness to his vocals and he's my go-to-guy when I need inspiration for a sexy hero. Actually, Sterling in my current WIP, Giving It Up, is based on Gary a bit. I needed a hot, bit different than the norm cowboy...and Gary fits that to a T.

Favorite Group: Fleetwood Mac

Adore them. Lindsey Buckingham and a guitar...c'mon, swoon worthy, right? Five minutes of guitar licks is as sexy as it gets to me.

All-Time Favorite Group: The Eagles

I'm a sucker for a story song and the Eagles are masters at composing those. I know the lyrics to most of their songs and could probably sing backup for them on tour.

That's it for now...anyone who'd like to share some of their favorites in the comments, I'd love to hear them!

New contract!

For those who follow me on Twitter, I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but I never officially announced it on my blog. I recently sold my first novella, Personal Research, to Ellora's Cave! I'm very excited to be writing for them, especially since I seem to be spending quite a bit of money buying books from their bookstore! We'll be starting edits soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to leave you with the tentative, unedited blurb for PR and the picture that perfectly fits my hero, Nunzio. 

Briefs are Elena Thomas’s life, whether they’re legal at her day job or on the men in the erotic novels she writes. She’s just fine with saving her imagination for her books until temptation appears in the form of Nunzio, the smokin’ computer maintenance guy. Thanks to the scorching scene he discovered shooting out of the printer, she’s not sure if he wants her because she’s inventive or because he thinks she’s desperate. That doesn’t stop her from taking advantage of the servicing he’s offering. Up on her desk. On the copier. And oh yeah, in her boss’s chair.

Nunzio's shocked to learn Elena’s wall-hugging persona hides a wildcat of a woman with delicious fantasies and an enticing wit. She's exactly what he's been looking for in an adventurous lover—and girlfriend. He knows she enjoys their sexual research. Now he just has to convince her that sizzling sex is only the opening chapter of their blazing hot romance. 

Also, I'm at Kaily Hart's blog on Monday April 12th, helping her kick off her awesome Just Published feature. We'd love to see you!
