I'm Up for Book of the Week...Vote for Me...Please?

Howdy all,

I've got a favor to ask. My book, What Might Have Been, is up for Book of the Week on Whipped Cream Reviews. I'd love your vote. I'm up against some pretty serious competition--as it should be--so if you feel my book and the review for it is fantastic, I'd appreciate it.

Here's the link: http://www.longandshortreviews.com/WC/index.htm
Thanks and hope to see you at the polls and HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Two New Reviews!!!!

I opened the email and the Review Faery popped in. Yup. Two. Double squee!!!


The first one came from Whipped Cream Reviews. Foxglove enjoyed What Might Have Been and I'm am thrilled. She gave it five cherries. How awesome is that?

I love Wendi Zwaduk’s small town atmosphere in her romances. It makes me feel like these are people I know, or would like to meet and be friends with. The characters in this are all too familiar: the arrogant jock gone to seed, the society queen of the prom, all those folks left behind as you grew up. This is a very hot story, and the scene where Tanner gives Macy complete trust and control is one of the best scenes in the book.

The second review to pop into the box was courtesy of Literary Nymphs. This one is for Please Remember Me and I am tickled pink. It got four nymphs and I can't complain.

Both Jade and Marlon have a lot of mistrust issues to work out. Between the plot twists that show up, and the scheming by those around them, it was very easy to see why. I thought the last twist in the scene between Jade and her father was a wonderful one that I did not see coming. I also enjoyed the way the author resolved one theme that showed up in the book.

Thanks to everyone and I hope you continue to enjoy the books!

Book Video Faery Visited!!! What Might Have Been!!

Goddess Fish created another fabulous book video for me. This time for What Might Have Been. Check it out!!!

New Release!!! What Might Have Been!

Tomorrow marks the release of my high school reunion novella, What Might Have Been. I've included the song that had a pretty big hand in influencing the story.
Little Texas - "What Might Have Been": "Big Time"
I also have the blurb and linky for the novella. Check it out!!

A second chance has never been this sweet or sexy.

Macy Shibley left Mason, Ohio to figure out who she was and what she wanted. But after more than a few disastrous relationships, she refuses to let anyone tie her down. She’ll control the tying, thank you very much. No man has ever managed to chip away the walls around her heart. Well, except one man.

Tanner Connolly never forgot his high school crush. The sweet blonde with the vibrant eyes fills his dreams and fantasies. He had a shot in school to make her more than a friend, but blew it for the sake of appearances. Now he’d like to know what might have been and use it to create a future. But can he let her go to prove he wants more than one night?

Contains steamy sex against a door, the creative use of sex toys, some harmless domination, and a little anal play for good measure.

Flirty Friday

I'm a little behind as of late. It happens. A lot.

I'm still pluggin' away at the menage story. I'm honestly one love scene short of being done. It's kinda fun, but kinda sad. I don't really want to let go of the characters. I'll get it done, though.

What's next on the hit parade?

Good question.

I want to help Megan get her story done. It's with a CP and getting there, but not quite ready. So that's a challenge. But I won't give up and I won't let her give up either.

Next for me? Three things. I think.

One - Gypsy, Todd, and Allan's story. They still won't tell me what they want to do. As soon as I think I know, they change the game. Brats.

Two - Rhett's story. So far I know one thing. That's it. Brat.

Three - Felicity's story. I know quite a bit for her. She's probably next on the line, but she may prove to be a brat, too. We'll see.

Oh crud. There's a four. Well...depending upon how the submission goes. I turned in Tucker and Megan's story. That's the infamous 6 year old manuscript. I love that story and didn't want to let it languish. But Janine and Eric want their story. They've waited nearly six years, too. So I guess they are due.

And a five...sheesh. Berto and Remi would like to tell their story. Which might be a bit difficult since they are already together and like one person. Double brats.

Looks like I need to get my plot bunnies in gear.

But...want a little snippet of the reunion story? This is unedited, so it may be a bit rough. Bear with me. Macy's going back to her 15 year high school reunion at Mason Senior High School. She's equally excited and scared to see her high school crush, Tanner Connolly. At the same time, she's with her two best guy friends, the wonderful Berto and Remi. This is when they enter the building and sign in.

As Macy stepped up to the folding table, Remi wrapped his arm around her waist. “I’d like to sign in with my ravishing date, Macy Shibley and my life partner, Berto Katz.”

Faith’s eyes widened as her brows knotted together. She elbowed her best friend and partner in tormenting crime, Jill Mickelson. Biting back a grin, Jill turned the registration book towards Berto and folded her hands. “It’s great to see you. We all wondered if you three would be a modern couple.” Jill snorted and rolled her eyes. “You were always ahead of your time.”

Macy opened her mouth to correct Jill when Remi patted her shoulder. “Thank you, Jill, honey. We thought we’d let Macy out to get some air. We shelter her so.”
“Oh.” This time, Jill’s jaw dropped. “I meant—”

“If we keep her locked up for too long, she gets cranky and I have to get out the whips.” Elbowing Macy forward, Berto nodded. “Bye, girls.”

Once inside the spacious auditorium, Macy plugged her ears. The song playing on the stereo system echoed off the walls and rattled her brain. The fog from the DJ stand clouded the room, making it hard to see more than twenty feet from her face. Grief, she hoped she didn’t trip into the rows of seats.

“I’ll be right back.” Remi planted a kiss on her cheek and one on his lover’s before disappearing into the throng of dancers.

Berto wrapped his arm around Macy once more. “He’s a dork sometimes, but he’s the love of my life. I’m glad you made us go on that date.”

“You’re welcome, but that little comment was childish.” She rolled her eyes. “Whips? I think she choked on her gum.” She ducked in close and spoke in his ear. “But I loved every moment. Next time say something about using the bondage bed. She’ll pass out.”

Enjoy!!
