New Cover for Just My Type!

In the same week I get the final version of my next book AND I hit the road for Denver to attend Rom Con!





So exciting!
Thought I'd share the cover here... and then I'll post some fun things either while at the conference or when I get back!

By the way, if you've read Just Right and/or Just Like That you'll be happy (I hope!) to know that Mac Gordon (Sam and Ben's buddy) and Sara Bradford (Sam and Jessica's younger sister) are the stars of this next book!






Take a look:



More to come soon!

This #$%&-ing book, Part III

It is with trepidation that I announce that this book is now moving at a fast, but fairly smooth pace.

Sure, I've had to let go of some of my control issues. Sure, I've had to come to terms with creating a really nice guy who's, well, too nice. And then making him suffer just a little for being that way. But now it's going somewhere. And, wow, it feels good!

See, the fix was to look at something that seemed like a problem as an opportunity. The hero and heroine don't like each other. That seemed like a problem. But the truth is, they have good reason for not liking each other and feeling passionate about somebody is still... passion. Which is something a romance writer can definitely work with!

Actually, our hero summed it up nicely when he said to our heroine, "I don't have to like you to want to see you naked."

Ah, good point. And something that can drive things forward! :)

So, it wasn't how I planned it. But you know what? It's kind-of fun to see how things look from the passenger seat versus the driver's seat.

Now my fingers and toes are tightly crossed that there aren't any hairpin curves ahead... because I definitely don't have a driver's manual for this!!
