Goodreads Giveaway Ends!

Congrats to the winners of my Goodreads Giveaway! As we speak, five autographed paperback copies of my beach read, GREETINGS FROM MY SANDY DREAMS, are on their way to the winners. (Thanks to my son, Joey, and husband, Bill, who dropped them off at the post office for me while I was at work.)

For all who signed up to win, thank you so much. I hope to have another giveaway in the future, since that one was so much fun.

In the meantime, I've been busy at work on my next book, a paranormal romance tentatively titled THE VAMPIRE'S MERMAID. As always, drop by here now & then--there'll be news on that one soon, too!

Until then, happy reading!

Time for a BEACH READ!

Welcome to summer!

Here in North Carolina--at least the western part, where my husband and I live--it took a long time for the spring weather to come breezing in. With the Fourth of July right around the corner, summer is definitely upon us. Time for barbecues, vacays, backyard pools, swimsuits, sandals, summer dresses (hello to my good friend Linda, who has a collection of those!) and last but not least, the beach.

It's also time for a beach read...and mine is finally out! GREETINGS FROM MY SANDY DREAMS is now available at Amazon and Smashwords. More distributors, including Barnes & Noble for your Nook lovers, to come.

Please note that GREETINGS FROM MY SANDY DREAMS is a women's fiction/contemporary romance that, although still generally a sweet romance, does contain a higher level of sexual tension, as well as adult situations. All in all, it's a fun, easygoing read to pop into your ereader or phone.

More news, though, to follow!

So have fun this summer & don't forget your sunscreen!

Here's What's in the Works...

As promised, here's a sneak peek at the cover of my summer beach read, which is now underway. The progress so far is a little over 16,000 words into it, which is good considering I only started it in between editing FOREVER IN MY HEART.

GREETINGS FROM MY SANDY DREAMS is structured a  lot like CHAMPAGNE TASTE in that it's turning out to be a chick lit/romance fusion. Lots of differences, though, including the fact that this new one will be a full-length novel, not a novella. It's similar in that it is told in the first-person narrative as seen through the heroine Cherry Martinez's eyes, and in the third-person narrative through hero Grayson Kelly's POV.

More information to come later. For now, I'll just tell you this is a fun, wildly romantic book you'll enjoy under your beach umbrella or out in your backyard with a glass of sweet tea. This will not be one of my inspirational reads--it's more straight-up romance/chicklit--but it WILL be an uplifting, feel-good story. Looking forward to sharing this story will ya'll!
