February 2009
Just a few weeks until spring is officially here! My mind is in plant mode and I’m ready to scour the nurseries for this year’s victims. This season we want to concentrate on creating an herb garden.
IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE!
Last issue our contest was to email me with a title you’d like from my booklist. Eight names were drawn. And the winners are:
BELINDA chose TEDDI TURNS ON
CATHERINE chose FRENCH TWIST
DAVE chose FRENCH TICKLER
LINDSEY chose PHOTO OP
MARCY chose FRENCH TART
RHONDA chose TEDDI TURNS ON
SHERRY chose FRENCH TWIST

Next good news…
I am ecstatic to announce AMBER QUILL PRESS has offered me a writing contract for my latest work CZECH MATE, a sexy little number that takes place in Prague. The contracts are signed, an editor is assigned and a tentative release is scheduled for this May.
I am grateful to Beth Anderson, Melissa Bradley, and Erica Dananay for recommending me and their tremendous help to allow my writing career to make this amazing leap.
And there’s more!!!
GhostWriter Literary Reviews gave FRENCH TICKLER, book five in the Naughty Ladies of Nice series 4 STARS.
Here’s the short version:
“The story line quickly moved along with humor, lust and excitement. I enjoyed the fact that the author created a plot to the storyline that made the book a great page-turner.”

ON A PERSONAL NOTE
Studs and I have decided it is time we will drag our no longer svelte bodies back into shape.
I refuse to go on a diet. Been there, done that, and gained the weight back plus more. Instead we are changing our eating habits. No more bread three times a day accompanied by potatoes and enough mayo to turn anyone’s stomach. Fish is now a weekly dinner along with plenty of chicken and salads.
Each morning I do a few exercises. Have to start small so I don’t stroke out.
Although we haven’t lost anything worth writing about, we both feel better and have tons more energy. This is a good thing!
ON WRITING
The Melt the Ice series is underway with FINNISH FANTASIES. The book is one-third completed with lead characters Kate Adams and Rurik Jaakko having too much fun romping through Finland’s countryside. My goal is to complete this book and submit by April 14.
The next book will be SWEATY IN SWEDEN. Does make the mind boggle, doesn’t it.
