What's 'hot'? You tell me & win a book!

I'm over with author Gail DeYoung today talking about what I think makes a guy a 'hottie'. Trust me, I spend a LOT of time pondering this because the heroes in my books have to appeal on many different levels. Readers are diverse. Preferences are diverse. And still...there are a core group of attributes that most women find appealing when it comes to guys. Go check out my post over with Gail HERE and tell me what YOU think makes a guy a true hottie. I'll be picking a winner at random from Gail's blog comments to receive an ebook from my backlist, winners choice. GO!

WIP it Wednesday

What better way to get back into the swing of things for this New Year than with a snippet from my current WIP? Actually, I have a few different WIPs going at once this time (*groan*, I know, right?), but I'm really enjoying playing with the paranormal/urban fantasy series I started. The below is from Book 2, Micah & Eve, currently titled Edge of Loyalty. ENJOY!!

Micah moved his hand up to his neck. Already the mark she’d left there had darkened. To know that refined, reserved, inexperience Eve, had been so far gone she’d given him a hickey when she came still had the power to get him hard. And keep him that way.

Happy Almost Christmas!

To those who celebrate...Happy Almost Christmas!! Ever since I was a kid, Christmas Eve has always felt almost magical to me. It's a day of excitement, hope and good spirit. My eldest kids eagerly put their gifts under the tree this morning for us, each other and the little ones. And then immediately asked if they should take them back in case Santa thinks we already have enough gifts and decides not to leave any more LOL! I love to see them so happy, so excited, so full of life and love :).

Regardless of what holiday you celebrate, or if you celebrate nothing at all, best wishes to you and your family. Here's to a new year filled with health, happiness and productivity! I've planned 2012 to be a key year for me writing-wise. I plan to ramp up my writing output, open up some new avenues, get my books a wider distribution and try out some new things, including some longer lengths. I hope you'll join me!

Stay safe, consume much and laugh loud with those you love and who love you!

Stuff Your Stockings Christmas Blog Hop!!

Welcome to the Stuff Your Stockings Christmas Blog Hop! This is an amazing event with so many authors participating and so many great prizes. Thanks to the wonderful Drea for organizing it :). For those of you who might land here and don't know me, I write hot and steamy romance...with an emphasis on hot. My stories have tough alpha heroes who might be a little rough and rugged around the edges, but when they fall for the heroine? Man, they fall hard. They'd do anything, endure anything, sacrifice anything. For her. Sigh...

So what am I giving away? I'm giving away a $25 dollar gift card to an online book store (winner's choice) AND a copy of any 1 book from my ebook backlist! Not bad, right?

How can you win? Follow me, friend me or follow this blog and leave a comment here telling me what you enjoy most about the holidays! I'll select a random commenter from this post as the winner!
