October 2009
Fall is here and so is garden cleanup time which is so easy I can’t believe it. Rip out the old and give it to Studs’ son-in-law, John, for his compost pile. Life’s good!
We’re thinking ahead for next spring and raring to go. John grew potatoes for the first time and explained his method. After a long powwow, we’ve decided to turn the south side of the house into another garden. Now if we could only get rid of the chipmunks that thought our tomato plants were just for them. Anyone have a recommendation?
IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE!
Last issue our contest was to email me with WALTZING MATHIDA in the subject line for a chance to win a copy of VIET NAM HOLIDAY by Bruce Cooke. Two names were drawn. And the winners are:
JEAN P
VICKIE M
Next good news…
ASPEN MOUNTAIN PRESS is releasing ISABELLA IGNITS this fall. Here’s a short unedited blurb to tease you:
Isabella Carrington has never wanted for anything her entire pampered life. So what does a woman who has it all do for fun? Come…take a peek into the keyhole of Isabella’s closed bedroom door.
As a sexual submissive, Rhineholdt Hoffman never wanted to play the dominant, until his fantasy woman appears and shakes his world. To win her, he must set in motion a game that shocks even him.
And there’s more!!
Robert Appleton, an exciting British author and friend, asked me to co-author a science fiction novel CLAIRE DE LUNE. Rob’s a tough task master, but I must admit I love his sense of humor and dedication. If you’d like to checkout some of his work click here. We’re both over the moon that AMBER QUILL PRESS wants the book as soon as possible!
ON A PERSONAL NOTE
This month Studs’ and I are celebrating our fifth anniversary of non-marriage. Odd way to phrase it, but we agreed we were too old for boyfriend and girlfriend and significant other didn’t seem to fit. When we meet new people we introduce ourselves as non-husband and non-wife. The surprised expressions are well worth the strange titles!
ON WRITING
SULTRY SWEDEN, book two in the Melt the Ice series, is due to Amber Quill Press – Amber Heat October 26. It’s coming along nicely, thanks to my marvelous critique partners.
CONTEST
It’s time for another Newsletter Members Only Contest. We’re staying with easy. There will be 2 winners. The prize is a free download, TEDDI TURNS ON, book one in the Magnificent Men of Munich series by yours truly.
Here’s the blurb:
No one’s going to take advantage of Teddi Howard again, including the Munich tour operator who screwed her over when he reneged on their contract. Her only option is to face the little weasel.
Nothing stands in the way of the prominent, German businessman David Stiefle, especially a woman. No way is he ever getting involved, even if she is the sensual Mrs. Howard.
To enter, simply email me sloanetaylor@comcast.net on or before December 1, 2009. Please type GERMANY in the subject line. Easy is the best!
As always, I love to hear from you. Feel free to email me, sloanetaylor@comcast.net, any time.
Thank you again for allowing me to update you on my life. I’ll be back in January. Until then…
Happy Reading!
