Read MoreDemon Seed - Release Day
Added On : Jan 17 2012 | 4 Comments
Demon Seed releases today. This book is dear to my heart principally because of the setting –- the mighty Orinoco, and the borders of Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana. I’ve taken liberties with the geography and invented some of the river villages, but, hopefully, kept true to the atmosphere in the small towns that dot the these immense waterways. Here's the general location for Demon Seed. ...

Read More2012 - The Year To Come
Added On : Jan 09 2012 | 0 Comments
I love the start of a new year. It’s a chance to wipe the slate clean, to forget the mistakes of the prior year, and begin anew. Long ago, I gave up the notion of making a ton of new year’s resolutions. I make one and only one, announce it publicly, and then try to keep it. This year my resolution is to be healthy. Go figure – right? After my January 18. 2011 car accident whe...
Read MoreWhite Wolf -The Call of a Soul
Added On : Dec 13 2011 | 9 Comments
A release date for White Wolf - The Call of a Soul - February 21, 2012. Yay! Snoopy Happy Dance! While I wrote White Wolf as a single title, the demand for the stories of the other White family members, Gray's sisters and their mates have been consistent since the day the book released two years ago. The Hades Squad had me obsessed for so long that I didn't even start thinking about the pre...
Read MoreDemon Seed & The Mighty Orinoco
Added On : Jan 09 2012 | 6 Comments
My father was with me the first time I saw the mighty Orinoco. It was one of our last trips together. The river has a special place in my heart. Wild, wonderful, infinitely in movement, the song 'Orinoco Flow' by Enya captures the hypnotic appeal of its vast and varied currents and rhythm perfectly. Travelling the Orinoco is akin to taking a step back in history into the wild, wild, west. Terms like porknokers, pis...

Added On : Dec 09 2011 | 6 Comments
Great news - I have a release date for The Last Call of a Soul - February 21, 2012! So exciting to get the news, but now I'm mired in final edits for Demon Seed, which releases on January 9, 2012, and the first round edits for The Last Call. Add that to the day job's higher-than- normal- year- end-activities, a pile of welcome visitors over Thanksgiving, and a whole bunch of unexpected mini-crises,...
Read MoreThe Call of a Soul
Added On : Dec 09 2011 | 6 Comments
I handed in The Call of a Soul - White Wolf this weekend. Some books write themselves, but others, others take everything out of you. This one did for me. No comes the agony time, the waiting to hear what Maryam, my editor, thinks. It does also, though, give me time to recoup form the holidays and the intensity of writing, cooking, visiting with family and friends, too much wine, and not enough sleep....
Read MoreReviews - Bane or Blessing
Added On : Nov 22 2011 | 10 Comments
Reviews are both the bane and ultimate blessing of a writer’s existence.When I penned my first page, it wasn’t because I craved accolades; it was because I had to. One interviewer put it correctly in the perfect questions – When did writing chose you? Of course, I’m certain that not all authors write because they’re compelled to, but that’s how writing works for me.The seco...

Read MoreMy Favorite Hero
Added On : Nov 09 2011 | 5 Comments
Lately, a lot of people have asked me, which one of my heroes is my favorite?That’s akin to asking a mom which one of her kids is her favorite. No answer’s right. Each one of my heroes has at least one quality that makes him my favorite. Sounds too PC – right? But it’s true. In the Mambo series, I loved the way Rolan took to fatherhood, Terrence had this gentle giant tenderne...

My guest author this week is the terrific Tara Lain, who’s spotlighting her fourth, that’s right folks, fourth release -- Golden Dancer, a suspense thriller. Tara’s debut novel, Genetic Attraction, shot to the top of Loose-Id’s best seller lists, and her every release since then has danced *okay go ahead and groan at my pun* to the top ten.

Today, I turn over the blog to Kay Berrisford - enjoy her blog and excerpt. When I was writing ‘Bound for the Forest,’ I sat down for a session of brainstorming with a sheet of paper entitled: how the hell am I going to get these two to shag? As a newbie writing my first erotic novel, it was a very real issue. I’d piled up so many reasons that my MCs, Scarlet and Brien, shouldn’t ha...

What’s your favorite romance genre? People ask me that all the time. Since I’ve written almost every genre, save for futuristic and sci-fi -- to me the answer’s obvious – every genre, save maybe futuristic and sci-fi.That’s not to say I don’t enjoy those genres, but they’re not the first books I’ll pick up ordinarliy. Mind you, I just finished Lynn Lorenz&rs...
