Paris Bites just released!

So today is my official release day for Paris Bites. Today is the big day to party and I am ultra happy to finally have my book make it's way out into the world. Tonight my family is going to celebrate at a private party where I settle down with a night of watching Spongebob and a tall glass of red wine. Yes, I know it's way sexy and one day I will have a proper booklaunch party complete with chocolate dipped strawberries and naked chested men serving appetizers and drinks but I'm not quite there yet.

There is however a book launch event  going on in Facebook. I have one last giveaway going on for a $10 gift certificate to Amazon and it's not too late to enter.

A New Captive Romance: Paris Bites

I am so very happy this morning. I can barely contain my enthusiasm! Paris Bites is up for pre-order at Bookstrand this morning and it's 15% off if you want to pick up your copy by the way. lol

Paris Bites was one of the very few books of my heart. It took me over two years to finish and part of this was due to technical problems. I lost a big chunk of it on my fried hard drive. Grrrr...It was heartbreaking and I didn't have the heart to go back and rewrite it again but the characters kept speaking to me and really wanted to get out into the world so this summer I did finally go back and rewrite their ending and finish the book. It ended up a full length novel and I am so very happy and proud to be able to share it with you now.

I loved my tour of Europe and found the crypts fascinating and much of this book takes place below the city within the catacombs. It was just so much fun to write and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

More about the book:


[Siren Classic: Erotic Paranormal Capture Romance, vampires, HEA]

Christopher D’Angelo is from a very long and distinguished line of vampires, but years of blood and sex aren’t enough to make him happy. Only finding his mate can make him complete, and he doesn’t have a chance in hell without finding his family’s lost blood diamond first.

Samantha Panini is living and working as a thief on the streets of Paris dressed as a young man to protect her virginity. Her entire life changes abruptly when she picks the pocket of a vampire. In retaliation, he kidnaps her.

Once Christopher discovers her secrets and her lush curves, he is unwilling to let her go, but he made a promise to release her if she cooperates.

In a quirk of fate, his captive turns out to be his lifemate, and she holds the keys to his heart. Will she break it completely when it comes time to release her, or will his enemies destroy her first?


Thanks for reading this morning and lots of love to you all,

30Days of Sweat

30 Days of Sweat

1000 words a day everyday for the month of January.


Well it’s time for me to get back on track and write regularly. My baby is here, and I have no more excuses, but plenty of deadlines piling up in my near future. To make this work as a career, you have to do two things. Write regularly, and promote what you write. If you are missing one or both parts of the formula, your sales are going to suffer, and you will never get better. Craft is perfected by practice..

There are always reasons to put it off, family should come first. Then you have to prioritize. Money second or third depending—but if you’re writing to get rich—Ahem—you may be in the wrong field. This year we had a lot of setbacks personally, my husband went blind in his right eye, and had multiple complications like glaucoma and extremely painful migraines. I had gotten pregnant as well, and now have a newborn to care for. We had to replace the drainage pipes under the bathroom floor. I didn’t write much of anything. Most of my published books had been written the year before. My time, energy, and pocketbook has been drained, but I will always come back to my first love of writing despite the barriers.

I need to set some achievable goals to get my writing all done. So, for the month of January, I plan to make it a month where I write everyday. 1000 words a day will be enough to finish a novella—and more than enough to get my two major projects done.

Paris Bites rewrite ending lost on computer--20,000 words
Untitled (my first m/m story)—10,000 words

Some people are already doing great, writing 10 pages or more everyday. Others, may be lucky to write that in a month. You may set your goal higher or shorter. This is my goal, because I feel it’s the right amount and that my family won’t suffer for 4-5 pages a day. Fellow authors, please feel free to join me if you can. Tell me what you are working on and post how much you were able to write today. Being accountable to someone will help motivate you (and me).

I plan to post all the updates to my yahoo loop. So join me here:
