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”

Hello dear readers! As you know this is release week for my latest historical, Disciplining the Duchess. The official release date is Feb. 28 but it might be available after Tuesday. It will be available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, and All Romance ebooks. Smashwords will also distribute it to places like the AppleContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: DISCIPLINING THE DUCHESS”

Well, in honor of my recent mention in Publishers Weekly, I thought I’d highlight a snippet from Caressa’s Knees. I took some time to re-read it this week and it made me think about the little moments that can make a romance or a scene special. I try hard to create those moments in myContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: CARESSA’S KNEES”

{NOTE: this work changed significantly in the process and so this scene is no longer in Waking Kiss. You MAY see this scene again in something else, but it ended up not fitting in the flow of the story. I guess that’s part of the danger of sharing pre-publication snippets! Many apologies!} Usually I postContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: WAKING KISS”

Whenever people ask me my favorite book I’ve written I always say it’s a tie between two of them: Caressa’s Knees and Fortune. I can’t say why those two are my favorites. I wouldn’t classify them as the ultimate best, or ultimate sexiest, or the ultimate in literary prowess. They’re just the two that touchContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: FORTUNE”

I will always remember Comfort Object as the book that started everything for me. It wasn’t my first book but it was the first book that a publisher picked up. BUT it almost didn’t happen. I am quite sure that if the editor I submitted to wasn’t knowledgeable about the lifestyle, Comfort Object wouldn’t haveContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: Comfort Object”

I’ve been on a real performance kick lately. I’ve been attending some local live performances, dug out my old ballet tapes, and even started a new book set in the ballet world called Waking Kiss. I don’t know what it is about the arts and performance that moves me so much, but I know thatContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: MERCY”

I’ve been hard at work on a new historical novel for my readers, because what is hotter than an old-fashioned kink relationship? The new one will be called Disciplining the Duchess and if you follow my blog regularly, then you’ve read snippets from it here and here. I hope to have the Duchess book out byContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: Lily Mine”

My goodness, I don’t think I’ve featured Odalisque yet in my Snippet Sundays. Odalisque was inspired one day when I was browsing  Fetlife.com and came across a group devoted to the Code d’Odalisque. Odalisques are female sexual slaves, and I thought if there was ever a great premise for an erotic romance, that was it!Continue reading “Snippet Sunday: Odalisque”

When I started doing these Snippet Sun days, I thought I should have some system where I keep track of how many times I feature each book. Of course that ended up being far too left-brained and organized for me and I haven’t done it, but I did have a sense that I hadn’t featuredContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: Club Mephisto”

This was a really great week as far as inspiration. I finished the first draft of Disciplining the Duchess, my upcoming Regency-era spanking story, and I also got cracking on a couple new story ideas. One’s going to be a sequel to Cirque du Minuit and the other…well, it’s still too soon to know ifContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: Disciplining the Duchess”

I started on another dance manuscript/story idea. You guys know I love ballet… I’m not certain the other story will see the light of day as it is now but while my mind is on dance and romance I wanted to share an older snippet from my book Firebird. One thing that has always fascinatedContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: Firebird”

This weekend I’m deep in the woods! I’m enjoying a little retreat of solitude with my family thanks to Blue Ridge Cabin Rentals of Helen, Georgia, and I thought, wouldn’t it be appropriate to feature Deep in the Woods this week? One of my favorite scenes in the book is when Sophie, her boyfriend Dave, andContinue reading “Snippet Sunday: Deep in the Woods”
