Have You Missed Me?

Life has been insane. Linda Wisdom, my editor, sent over the rewrites and corrections for LONNIE HEATS UP last Friday. We worked together all week-end to polish this baby. You’re going to love this second book in the Magnificent Men of Munich series. Lonnie is now that she’s back at Triskelion and waiting for her cover to be designed. Her release date is this June.

I’m continuing work on FRANCINE ON FIRE which is due in just eleven short days. No blogging or website updates until the book is completed or Linda will flail me.

Next week is our interview with author Mary Alice Pritchard. Be sure to check it out starting Monday, March 19.

See you all then and in the meantime…

Happy Writing!

Rave Review

I’m so excited and wanted to share my good news with all of you. TEDDI TURNS ON earned 5 Hearts from The Romance Studio. Below is the review;

Theodora Howard was on a mission; she might not be in Chicago anymore, but she was definitely going to take care of business! Her small Chicago-based travel agency was getting shafted by her Munich, Germany, contact who was costing her money as well as making her business falter. She was determined to force him to make good his promises to her company. He owed her and she intended making him pay!
Meanwhile, there was this dynamite-looking man at the airport who boarded the same plane as she and then landed in Munich with her. She could daydream, but that was all. She had been widowed three years ago, but she still wore her wedding ring, at least until her business partner suggested she remove it and try to loosen up and have fun. How did the man from the plane find her hotel? And what did he want with her? What was his connection with Claus, her dishonest business contact? This is an incredible story which anyone would find intriguing.

Sloane Taylor has written a fascinating book about the growing love of two people who have previously had neither the time nor the inclination to search. There are sub characters that are wonderfully interactive to the couple; however, the basic story centers around the two who find something in each other which was never before present. Ms. Taylor certainly knows how to hold the reader’s attention while presenting her obvious alpha male and a not-to-be intimidated female counterpart. I found the entire story captivating and, of course, recommend it highly!

Overall rating: 5 Hearts
Sensuality rating: Explicit

it’s a Great World!

I can’t believe my luck. The other day Yasmine Phoenix emailed me that Sassy Devil at the Write Workshop is using some of my lectures for their Emotions and Point of View segments. That pretty much blew me away.

Now today I’m scooping myself up off the floor because Eveline and Chantay at Euro Reviews in Belgium requested an interview and have posted it! If you’ve got the time please check it out. The address is: http://euroreviews.eu.funpic.de/interviews/sloanetaylor.php

Hope you’re having as good a day as me!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am ecstatic to tell you all I met my contract due date with Triskelion Publishing. Lonnie Heats Up has been submitted and received by my editor! It’s a relief to be completed and now I can sit back and relax until she sends me the edits. I can also come back and blog with you now that I have fulfilled my commitment.

Lonnie Heats Up is the second book in the Magnificent Men of Munich series. Be sure to check out chapter one of Teddi Turns On for the premise of the series. Better yet, head over to www.triskelionpublishing.net and pick up your own copy. The reviewers and readers tell me they love it.

To celebrate, Studs and I went to our favorite haunt, Shannon’s Irish Eatery, and listened to great Irish music performed live, yes folks I said live a rarity these days in our neck of the woods, by New Element. Lou and Sharon, of Dolly’s Mammary fame, were there. They’re a fun couple to spend time with. Someday I hope you all get to meet them.

Lou brought up two interesting questions about our world today so I’d like to ask you your opinion.

1 – Why is it that today so many women expose their bodies and erase the mystery for men?
2 – Where have all the ladies gone?

Have a great week-end!

Good Morning World!

Today is great. I’m still on a high from my first chat last night at Coffee Time Romance. Many old friends showed up along with a host of new people. Thank you for being there. All of them helped me get over the jitters in a New York second. We had a blast joking and commenting on my excerpts. The hour passed much too fast.

Susan, the moderator, and I agreed to give away two free copies of TEDDI TURNS ON and bars of honey soap. The lucky winners were:

RAM from Singapore
Jeanne from the U.S.

Please remember ladies to send me your addresses so I can mail the prizes.

Have a great weekend.

WOOHOO!

This is a great week. I’ve completed the synopses for books 2, 3,and 4 in the Magnificent Men of Munich series. They’re now in the hands of my kind editor who was very happy with my proposal for books 2 and 3. Still haven’t heard from her on #4, but I have everything crossed that’s possible.

The three remaining books lead Lonnie, Francine, and Isabella on a terrific journey of freedom and love as they let go of their fears with the help of Heicke, Rhineholdt, and Wolfe. You really should read TEDDI TURNS ON to learn about the people I’m referring to here.

Our three heroes also find a new world as the ladies teach them there’s more to life than living in the past and one night stands.

Now for even more good news. Studly and I are off on a well deserved three week vacation in Europe. Studs is making the supreme effort to savor as many beers and wines he can swallow while I research more data for the above mentioned books. Ya gotta love a guy who will go to such lengths to make his woman happy.

We decided to create some fun for you as well. Please sign up for my quarterly newsletter. When we return two names will be drawn. The lucky winners will each receive two bars of the honey soap featured in the Magnificent Men of Munich series, a bath scrubby, and a free copy of TEDDI TURNS ON. The drawing will be held August 15.

Enjoy yourself while we’re gone!
