It's publication day again!


And this time it's the US publication day of my two 'heat' babies... GEMINI HEAT and GOTHIC HEAT!

To celebrate, I'm posting over at LUST BITES today, on the topic of Lust at First Sight, with a small clip of each book, featuring the first time the heroine sets eyes on the hero. I reckon this is a pretty risky thing to do, juxtaposing my prose of 14 years ago with my prose of now... Which will show up the best? The old me, writing when it was all fresh and new and adventurous... or the new me, writing with the benefit of years of honing and polishing of my craft, and a wealth of new life experience to inform the emotional truth of my stories?

You be the judge... nip over there, leave a comment, and you'll go into a draw to win a signed book from my backlist.

Good luck and enjoy!

I am such a sad act!



My first very silly attempt at making a video with my mobile phone. Mulder is so sweet, but I'm just a dork... LOL

Back to vamps!


I've had another vampire story accepted, and I'm going to be in Lust at First Bite: Sexy Vampire Short Stories!

It's called SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK, and it's rather dark and wry, a sexy little tale of retribution and what goes around, comes around. Quite fun to write...

My new toy!


It's my new mobile phone. Chosen, after exhaustive research, for these key reasons:
  1. It's on the O2 network and that's advertised on the telly by the delicious Sean Bean
  2. Apparently this special edition stainless steel handset is used for several seconds in the Casino Royale movie by James Bond himself!
How's that for logical and rational technology shopping! LOL

Which of these mofus is the culprit?

It's summer hayfever allergy time again and I've got a runny nose, a wheezy chest and bunged up sinuses. It seems a bit early for grass pollen, although the weather is so weird nowadays that who can tell? So maybe it's oil seed rape? There's tons of the stuff in the fields around here... oh joy!

a way to cheer up...

I'm feeling a bit low at the moment, lacking in confidence, not feeling so great healthwise... but this morning, I found a great way to perk up my spirits.

I had to walk to the vets, to pick up Kuffer's prescription, and I decided to take my iPod and listen while I walked. Needing a boost, I purchased a few tunes and decided to go for some good old fashioned funky grooves. Which turned out to be the best decision I've made in a long time!

This tune in particular sent my spirits soaring, and I'm sure I looked a right berk as I strode along with my steps in time to it. Especially as I had to literally bite my lip to stop me singing along out loud! It was tough not to do a bit of dancing and skipping too... LOL

Enjoy! It sure cheered me up!
