WHAT ARE YOU READING THIS SUMMER?

If you love stories that are just a little quirky, romantic and definitely paranormal, I have a few you might want to add to your reading list this summer. 

New Release! Well sort of...

                                                       

I love music videos and happened to be listening to WW2 era songbirds while browsing some vintage horror movie posters from the forties and couldn’t resist the story idea that resulted from several “what if” questions that popped up. 

If you’re drawn to old black and white monster movies, tortured heroes, smart-mouthed heroines, and Hollywood during the age of our greatest generation, you might just like, I’LL BE SEEING YOU. There have been a few, very slight revisions from the story originally released in 2015 as part of the Entice Me anthology and I have a fun new cover by the very talented artist, “chico san”. He did the original painting of this cover and it's hanging in my living room. 

20^th century historical romance with a paranormal twist…

Jack Howland, part of an elite group of OSS special agents can’t resist the pull of the moon or the memory of his brief wartime romance with widowed USO hostess, Lulu Lane. After the war, their paths cross again, but will the truth about what he is send Lulu screaming into the night or back into his arms?

Take one plain Jane Hollywood scriptwriter, add a creepy sanitarium with an even creepier staff; fold in Nazi war criminals and a war hero with a dangerous secret and you have a recipe for a roaring good time.

This novella is available now for 99 cents...

 And there's more...

If you like your shifter's hot and protective you might like Gunnar Redmond, my hero in HIS TO PROTECT and J.D. Decker from HIS TO CLAIM. Both stories take place in the BLACK HILLS WOLVES series from Decadent Publishing and HIS TO PROTECT is only 99cents!

After ten long years, desperation has forced Luna Sinclair back to Los Lobos but nothing in her experience has prepared her for the heat that Pack Protector, Gunnar Redmond unleashes. Her wolf is clawing to break free and run straight for the hulking beast but what wolf in their right mind would want to be tied to her family tree?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5DM8ZE/

They aren’t kids anymore and J.D. has Bree howling at the moon and questioning her desire for nothing more than a sexy romp in the woods. He’s a blunt force and rough around the edges, but he ignites all of her deepest desires with his single-minded determination to make her his.

Bree’s family isn’t happy about her budding romance with the son of a man they feel is responsible for the death of one of their own. Old wounds are reopened and as tempers flare Bree must decide whether to let a dark secret from the past separate them, or defy her family and accept J.D.’s claiming.

Welcome to Romance Books 4 Us, a place for all romance and all genres. We’re very happy to have you here with us today. First, tell us a little bit about yourself…

Please tell us a little about yourself...

I am a former journalist and recovering attorney. After more than 25 years in Lawyerland, I decided that writing was my true passion and left to start my own writing services firm. Eventually, that evolved into writing erotic romance—short stories about lawyers in love, with a dash of kink. I also ghostwrite books for other professionals.

What or who initially inspired you to become a writer?

I started writing as soon as I could hold a crayon and I never stopped. My head has always been full of stories and words. It was my parents and teachers, though, who recognized my interest and later, my talent, and found a lot of ways to encourage it.

Do you find yourself going back to the same inspiration for each story or is it always something different?

It’s never from the same source. I literally take my inspiration from wherever I find it, be it a news event, a conversation, a dream, or a memory.

When do you write?  Early morning? During the day sometime or all day?  After the kids go to bed?

I write when I am inspired. That may be in the morning or in the middle of the night, after lunch or dinner. I set no schedule for writing, so I am not bound by any rules. I find that eases the writing process because when ideas start to flow, they continue on for hours.

Do you ever see yourself as the heroine/hero or find yourself relating to them when you write a story?

All of the time. Different parts of my life, experiences that took hold, all play into characters and plots.

Do you have a special place you like to do your writing? Such as an office, a spare room, the dining room table, your couch?

I write in my loft. With three large windows and a skylight, it always feels like I am outdoors, no matter the time of the year.

As a reader, what types of genres do you enjoy? And do you think they influence the genre/genres you write in?

I like mysteries and thrillers, but I also read erotic romance. In fact, when I was in law school, my friends and I each purchased five romance novels a semester and then passed them on to others in the group after we read them. It was a great way to take a break from the law and relieve a little stress.  Many of my stories employ elements of a thriller or a mystery, so I am never far from the genres I most enjoy.

What is your favorite method of writing...as in laptop, desktop, iPad or the old-fashioned pencil and paper?  And do you plot out your story or go with the flow of your muse?

When you need a break or some time off from the trials of being a writer, what can you be found doing?

Baking or reading. I like to create new recipes, and of course, enjoy the results, or sometimes, bemoan them. And of course, while my new creation is baking, I usually pick up a book and immerse myself in the story.

What is your ideal romantic vacation?

A remote island surrounded by white beaches and crystal blue waters where there is nothing to do but enjoy the person I am with and the beauty around us, or a romp through Paris, stopping at patisseries and cafes, indulging in great food and wine, enjoying the ambiance of the city? Actually, what makes a vacation romantic is the person I am with, not the location. To me romance is about connecting, achieving that perfect melding of mind, body, and soul, being with someone you cherish who cherishes you.

Is there an upcoming or current release you would like to share with us today and where can we find it?

Take a kinky romp through Lawyerland, where erotic encounters, sizzling partnerships, and euphoric flights of fantasy consume lawyers in love! 

A young lawyer’s wicked pen unleashes erotic flights of fantasy, spinning tales of a sensual Sheikh and his lawyer wife who battle terrorism despite a price on their heads, a former rocker turned lawyer faced with a life-altering decision, a law school ménage a trois gone wrong, and a criminal defense attorney whose practice tips into the paranormal. The naughty yarns continue with a medieval adventure, a secret agent’s obsession with a law professor, a Lady turned lawyer fighting to regain her footing after a profound loss, a law student who strips to fund her studies, a fledging lawyer questioning a sexy deal with the devil, and a kinky lawyer fighting a chronic illness. This scintillating collection of ten sizzling short stories will make you laugh, they’ll make you cry, and yes, they’ll even make you blush, but in the end, you’ll run out and buy a set of handcuffs. Because you’re going to want to experience at least one of these hot little fantasies!

Welcome to July !! A new month and a #newrelease #boxedset #CovettheCurves #RB4U #giveaway

Hi Everybody and welcome to July 2nd. 

Sorry for being a little bit late to posting...so much going on!

So, i chose my welcome graphic because really, that's where i want to be.

It's been ridiculously hot the last couple days here in Michigan and as is my luck, my house does not have air conditioning. I beg my hubby every year to at least buy a window unit but every year he shoots me down lol.  This year is no different. However, if we have any more 95+ days then i'll be going out to buy the unit myself :)

Do you have hot weather wherever you are ??  If so, please tell me you're not miserable like me and you have air... i'd like to vicariously live through you!

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

I'd like to share my most recent release with you all...

The boxed set is called Covet the Curves:

A Collection of Voloptuous BBW Women

Women are incredibly magnificent creatures. They come in many shapes, sizes and all types of personalities. They can be called curvaceous, voluptuous, buxom and even pleasingly plump. But, however they're described, one thing is for certain, this collection of sexy and sassy women will leave their men breathless

Forget about the status quo and join in on the romance. The time has come to covet the curves.

My story in this set is called:

 Under the Covers

a Friends to Lovers Novella

Lanie Matthews is the classic girl next door. Curvaceous and a creature of habit.

Jake Cooper is her best friend. In love with Lanie since they were five.

Will they ever be more than friends?

One lust-filled night Under the Covers may prove more than Lanie and Jake

both expected.
