Back of the Cover Preview:

Sally lives a dream life on the Garden Isle of Kauai, but living in a huge empty house has made her achingly lonely. She can't even remember the last time a man was in her bed. So when a sinfully sexy cowboy wanders onto a deserted strip of beach she was ready for some casual sexy fun.

Harry had been widowed for two years, but despite his guarded heart he fell hard for the smoking hot beautiful creature on the beach. As Harry and Sally explore the island together, it's near impossible to keep her insatiable appetite for sexy adventures filled. The more time they spend together, the more his heart wants her as much as his cock. Yet when her employers return unexpectedly, her job is at risk.
Everything goes wrong in Harry's desperate attempt to keep her safe and protected, but he is determined that nothing can keep them apart. Even if his life is on the line.

Drama and Drinking just don't mix...Sex On the Beach

I personally don't drink much or often but when I do, I've noticed it only intensifies my feelings. If I was happy, I only get happier. If I was depressed, all those melancholy emotions get worse and if I was horny--well you get the picture.

I used this as a ploy to get the drama level to an all time high in Sex on the Beach. Harry was drinking beers by the case and feeling sorry for himself while Sally was drinking with her soon to be mother in law wishing her soon to be husband would grow up and get over his dead wife sleeping with his brother. She wasn't about to do that so why should he care if Gerald showed up to his wedding?

Of course, she never expected to pass out or for Gerry to be nice enough to carry her to his bed. Or for Harry to come looking for her.

Somehow the drama gets to an all time fever high pitch and this is partly because things have been intensified by everyone drinking.

You'll have to read the book to find out why Sally wants a second wedding that she can actually be proud of the pictures. Sex on the Beach is coming out from Whispers Publishing on February 10th.

So you want to be Nora famous?

I am not sure I feel the same way. I like Nora Robert. I admire her talent, her success, and her ambition, but I don't think I want her life. Or her money.

I am not feeling jealous and do you know why? When I see talented friends do well, I am happy for them. They worked hard for it and to get those words down on paper every day. They write, they sell, and they live breathe and eat their books.

I can't always do that, so I am happy with my own progress. I may not write 9 to 5 pm, but that doesnn't make me any less professional or less driven. The key to true happiness in this business is keeping your nose to the grindstone and not comparing yourself to anyone else.

Forget about Nora Roberts and her millions of fans and that she writes so fast that they have her writing under two pen names and she re-releases books every month from Harlequin just to keep her contract in effect. I don't envy her life for anything. Or many of the New York Times Best Selling authors.

I don't want to give up my life for the moment. I have to work and long for the day I could just write, but that day may never come and even if it did, I still have jobs that will never go away. I will always be a mommy, and a wife. I can't imagine life being so different that would allow me to be Nora rich, so that I could have a housekeeper or a nanny or any of that.

But in the end isn't your life what you make of it? Write because you love it and live life so you can write about it. Stop being petty and jealous and just enjoy what you have. It's too short to look back and regret anything about it.

Those ultra famous authors we love to compare ourselves and hence our writing with didn't get in this business becuase they expected to get rich, and they didn't stay in it because they loved the money. It's hard work and harder work to stay on top, but they did it first and foremost because they loved telling stories. They do it so well, because they didn't think about he results night and day, just getting the words right.

I am writing this to remind myself and others, we all have our ups and downs. Some days we may be able to write 20 pages and others would be lucky to get out two words. It can all be very depressing when you need to produce so many pages a day to make contract obligations or fulfill promises. However it isn't the word count that really matters, but the quality and our own happiness level.

My average of two pages a day doesn't begin to compare to Nora Roberts or many of my friends at the moment, but it is all I can do to do that much. Seeing my kids is more imporatant at the moment. I can't help but think that when they grow up they won't care if their momma is a world famous romance writer, but they will always remember the time I could spend with them. It's all about priorities and yeah, I wouldn't mind being famous, or rich, or a future Nora Roberts, but I'm not and never will be. So am I jealous?

Not even close.

I love who and what I am right now. I am happy being a mom. I love being a storyteller, but I don't resent my choices and sacrificing to just be a mother to my children.

***Waves to Nora Roberts in case she just googled herself.

Finally got a review for Straight Up!

I really loved this story and wrote it during a time when I was having a hard time writing a traditional romance. I was nine months pregnant and my mind wasn't at my best game. It's written very different from what I normally write and the viewpoint changes every chapter to a different exotic dancer.

Anyway, I was rather pleased that the first review came back with some very positive comments.

"If you want a red-hot erotic story guaranteed to make you squirm, then you need to read Straight Up." --Tiger Lily from Whipped Cream reviews
