Wow! Hard times for smutty, delicious romance. Last week on Twitter I was venting about a post deriding the genre of erotic romance (I won’t link to it) and this week an author is upset because her wildly successful erotic novel is such “trash.” (I won’t link to her either. I try to avoid theContinue reading “I love what I write, and I love all of you!”

Beautiful Photo Sunday
I know, I know, my ballet kick has been ridiculous lately. I’m about to dive into final edits for Waking Kiss (expected release is still mid-June) but today instead of Snippet Sunday I wanted to share this amazing photo from Paul Tirado Photography that showed up in my Instagram feed this week. Just…sigh. One ofContinue reading “Beautiful Photo Sunday”
Snippet Sunday: WAKING KISS
Hi everyone. Sorry I’ve been sketchy with sharing the snippets lately. I’ve been SO embroiled in writing this current duet of books, Waking Kiss and Fever Dream. I call it the “City Ballet” series since it’s set in the world of ballet, and yes, for once, I’m writing a series so they’ll come out oneContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: WAKING KISS”
Snippet Sunday: CIRQUE DE MINUIT
If you follow me here or on social media you know that I love artistic circus almost as much as I love ballet. Aerial acts are my favorite, so when I set out to write a book in the world of cirque I wanted to write about aerial artists, and I happened to choose aerialContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: CIRQUE DE MINUIT”
Just sharing a photo today…
I came across this photo in a Google search and I fell in love with it. (Would offer attribution but I don’t know the original source. Please let me know if you do.) It reminds me very much of the two ballet-themed BDSM romances I’m working on right now… Waking Kiss and Fever Dream. IContinue reading “Just sharing a photo today…”
Snippet Sunday: LILY MINE
I have to start this with a huge THANK YOU to all my readers. Disciplining the Duchess has been out for over a month and to my complete surprise it stayed in the top 100-Erotica on Amazon for over a month (!) and was also a AllRomanceEbooks bestseller. Without your reviews, retweets, and recommendations, thisContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: LILY MINE”
Snippet Sunday: DEEP IN THE WOODS
Ah, it’s spring. The rain is falling, the trees are flowering, and Annabel’s allergies are going insane. Haha. Well, I’ll survive, I’m sure. I’m hard at work on Waking Kiss and the follow up novel, Fever Dream, but since spring is reminding me of woods and nature, I thought I’d post a snippet of DeepContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: DEEP IN THE WOODS”
My FROLICON report
As promised, I’m going to tell you all about my trip to Frolicon this year. Frolicon is a sex-positive, kinky, freaky, geeky convention that takes place in Atlanta every spring. I was invited by a former editor to take part in the Author track of the convention and I jumped at the chance. Full disclosure…Continue reading “My FROLICON report”
Headed to FROLICON!
Just a note to my readers–if you’re near the Atlanta area and planning to attend Frolicon this weekend, I’ll be there! Click here to learn more about Frolicon, an Atlanta spring tradition! I told some other local (non-erotic) authors that I was going to Frolicon and I got some scared faces, so I figured itContinue reading “Headed to FROLICON!”
Snippet Sunday: MERCY
I’ve been so busy lately–in a good way! Rather than think of something coherent to talk about this week, I’m just going to post one of my fave snippets from Mercy. “Matthew!” I was shocked to open the door and find him standing there. He’d never been to my place. It was aContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: MERCY”

Snippet Sunday: MOLLY’S LIPS: CLUB MEPHISTO RETOLD
I was happy to be invited to write a guest post at The Book Enthusiast blog this week. (www.thebookenthusiast.net) Since she was doing a “Dark reads” series and running a giveaway of my Mephisto series, I decided to write about the wonders and difficulties of writing M/s, or Master/slave. If you click the link above,Continue reading “Snippet Sunday: MOLLY’S LIPS: CLUB MEPHISTO RETOLD”

Snippet Sunday: CAIT AND THE DEVIL
I picked Cait and the Devil this week for two reasons. First of all, I released my new historical spanking novel Disciplining the Duchess, so I’ve had Cait and the Devil and Lily Mine on the brain since they’re also historical novels. Second, I received three separate notes this week from readers who’d recently finishedContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: CAIT AND THE DEVIL”
It’s release day! DISCIPLINING THE DUCHESS
YAY! Hope you’re ready for some old-timey starchy, sexy, Regency-era romantic spanking! Over five seasons, Miss Harmony Barrett has managed to repel every gentleman of consequence and engineer a debacle at Almack’s so horrifying that her waltzing privileges are revoked. If she’s not in the library reading about Mongol hordes, she’s embarrassing her family orContinue reading “It’s release day! DISCIPLINING THE DUCHESS”
