On December 21, I have a short story appearing at Not Another Romance Blog. They are running a xmas event, where they invited authors to write a story about xmas. We were given a specific topic. Mine was “first kiss on Xmas eve.” We could use old characters from prior books, write new ones, or whatever. The rules were pretty fluid. I wrote a story about Clarinda Dudley and Captain Aiden Bramwell. Clarinda is a recurring character in my “Sensual Destiny” series of PROMISE OF PLEASURE, TASTE OF TEMPTATION, and DREAMS OF DESIRE. She is a white witch and apothecary who travels with her charlatan brother and con artist, Phillip Dudley.



I paired her with Captain Bramwell. He’s a stuffy, no-nonsense sea captain, from a stuff no-nonsense aristocratic family. He made a cameo appearance in DREAMS OF DESIRE and will also appear in my 2013 book, LOVE’S PRICE. They are total opposites, which I always find to be a great match in a book, and I’ve always planned to write a book where they are the hero and heroine, but I haven’t had time yet. So this is a chance for my fans to read more about Clarinda and to see a glimpse of Aiden who’s coming in 2013.



If you go to the Not Another Romance Blog site, there’s a red box on the left hand side that says, “Historical Christmas” or something like that. It takes you to the list of authors and gives info about the various days. It’s running for most of the month of Dec, with a new story posted each day and a grand prize basket giveaway of books at the end.

Merry Christmas everyone! And Happy Holidays. As this busy, crazy time approaches, I wanted to give everyone a fun Christmas gift. I'm frequently asked if I have ever had any of my books recorded as audio books, but so far, I haven't had any of them recorded. But recently, I had a chance to have a sample recorded from my "Baby Caleb" novel, ONLY YOU. The terrific voice artist, Rachel Read, has given a great reading of the Prologue of the novel, and her crisp British accent is a wonderful, relaxing balm that sets the entire mood for the story.

I hope all of you will take a few minutes to enjoy this audio recording from ONLY YOU.
