New Short Story and Contest
On December 21, I have a short story appearing at Not Another Romance Blog. They are running a xmas event, where they invited authors to write a story about xmas. We were given a specific topic. Mine was “first kiss on Xmas eve.� We could use old characters from prior books, write new ones, or whatever. The rules were pretty fluid. I wrote a story about Clarinda Dudley and Captain Aiden Bramwell. Clarinda is a recurring character in my “Sensual Destiny� series of PROMISE OF PLEASURE, TASTE OF TEMPTATION, and DREAMS OF DESIRE. She is a white witch and apothecary who travels with her charlatan brother and con artist, Phillip Dudley.
I paired her with Captain Bramwell. He’s a stuffy, no-nonsense sea captain, from a stuff no-nonsense aristocratic family. He made a cameo appearance in DREAMS OF DESIRE and will also appear in my 2013 book, LOVE’S PRICE. They are total opposites, which I always find to be a great match in a book, and I’ve always planned to write a book where they are the hero and heroine, but I haven’t had time yet. So this is a chance for my fans to read more about Clarinda and to see a glimpse of Aiden who’s coming in 2013.
If you go to the Not Another Romance Blog site, there’s a red box on the left hand side that says, “Historical Christmas� or something like that. It takes you to the list of authors and gives info about the various days. It’s running for most of the month of Dec, with a new story posted each day and a grand prize basket giveaway of books at the end.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas everyone! And Happy Holidays. As this busy, crazy time approaches, I wanted to give everyone a fun Christmas gift. I'm frequently asked if I have ever had any of my books recorded as audio books, but so far, I haven't had any of them recorded. But recently, I had a chance to have a sample recorded from my "Baby Caleb" novel, ONLY YOU. The terrific voice artist, Rachel Read, has given a great reading of the Prologue of the novel, and her crisp British accent is a wonderful, relaxing balm that sets the entire mood for the story.
I hope all of you will take a few minutes to enjoy this audio recording from ONLY YOU.
