Second release of the week

No Strings Neighbor is now available from The Wild Rose Press. It's been quite a week with two books releasing from different publishers, but I've really enjoyed the buzz. Here's the blurb for No Strings Neighbor:

Can a no-strings fling with her sexy, laid-back neighbor take a workaholic accountant’s mind off impending financial ruin?

Faced with losing her home, her job and the stability she’s craved since her nomadic childhood, the last thing Ellie Winters needs is an irresponsible new neighbor whose intentions are far from honorable. But as her situation deteriorates, Ellie needs a distraction. Soon she's in danger of adding another loss to her list—her heart.

Veterinarian Greg Buchanan is finally on his way to Africa to fulfill his dream. He’s sold his partnership, applied for his visa, and when his house/dog-sitting stint is through he can wave goodbye to the responsibilities that have tied him down. But one night with his sexy neighbor and Greg realizes that his problems have only just begun.

No Strings Neighbor is available in both digital and print versions.

Exciting news ...

The day after release and Play Me hits the Samhain/MB&M Bestseller list. I'm a very happy girl:)))

First release of the week ...

This week I have two new releases to celebrate. The first, Play Me, released today from Samhain Publishing, is the story of Raul Stregone, a hot Sicilian billionaire with revenge on his mind, and Nina Avalon who is desperate to save her company from falling into his ruthless hands. Here's the blurb:

The cards have been dealt, but the game’s just begun…

Proving her worth to her male-dominated family didn’t include being forced to bet herself in a high-stakes poker game. But to save the family business and protect her father’s health, Nina Avalon is prepared to do anything. Even agree to a scandalous wager with a ruthless tycoon.

Sicilian billionaire Raul Stregone has revenge on his mind. When the opportunity to ruin the family who destroyed his drops in his lap, Raul plans to wreak his vengeance via the boardroom—and the bedroom—with the daughter of his adversary. Yet while he may have won her fair and square, it soon becomes apparent that she’s not going down without a fight.

But let her wrangle all she wants. One way or another, he plans on collecting his winnings.

My second release of the week, No Strings Neighbor, will be available on the 27th from The Wild Rose Press and I'll be back to tell you more about that on Friday.

Friday Foto - Clouds

It's been a week of rain, wind and general weather gloom, but this afternoon we were treated to clear skies and the most amazing cloud formations. The words and music of David Gates come to mind...

Of all the wonders I was one allowed
I think that I would always choose a cloud
...
Keeping secrets no one else could know
For I'm the one who told them so

Thought for the Writer's Day

Creative successes are often preceded by creative failures, for trial and error are the natural companions of creativity (Anon)

That's one to remember when all seems lost.

Refreshed and Recharged

Back from holiday in the South of France with a ton of ideas, not to mention some heady "hero" inspiration. Those Mediterranean males can certainly hold a girl's attention :)

Got a couple of plots boiling as well. Monte Carlo is one of my most favourite places in the world and it never fails to inspire a tale or two of passion and seduction in such a beautiful and glamorous setting. My fingers are itching to get the keyboard smoking!

There was an added bonus to our recent trip - fabulous art exhibits were scattered around the Principality in aid of the Prince Albert II Foundation of Monaco. The Eco Art Parade 2009 is an environmental art exhibition and this year's theme was the Bonelli’s Eagle, an endangered species of the Mediterranean. The Foundation supports the protection of this eagle. The photo is entitled "Love your Life" by Gitte Peters - one of my favourite exhibits and located in the beautiful Casino Gardens.
