For a limited time only...

As in, from now until this coming Sunday, head over to Smashwords and pick up a copy of CHAMPAGNE TASTE, my romance/chick lit fusion, for free! If you haven't read it yet, there's a lot of romantic, lighthearted fun between these pages. And coming soon: an excerpt from my soon-to-be-released beach read, GREETINGS FROM MY SANDY DREAMS.

Vintage (Earliest Works)

Recently, I was asked by a reader for a list of my books. Great idea, and I guess it's overdue! I'll add my more recent books to my next post, but here in chronological order (well, more or less) are my earlier works. Please note that the first two are geared toward a Young Adult audience, with the second one being a YA romantic comedy featuring some mischievous teenaged vampires. The books released by Kensington's Encanto line are all written under my pseudonym of Consuelo Vazquez and, just FYI, are more sensuous than most of my later works. Sea Siren was recently re-edited and re-released by me with its new cover, which you'll find below. Please note that the romances range in "heat" from sweet to sensuous, and unless they're listed out of print can be purchased through Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

One more note: There's also a paranormal novella, "The Prince of the Forest," which was published in Melange Books' Strange Desires, and an early romance novel, Baby, It's You, which has been out of print forever. Actually, to my knowledge, the book was contracted but never actually published and the publisher is no longer in business. Fascination is a sweet romance that can be purchased directly from Awe-Struck Publishing at this specific link.

More notes: And Then Came You was a nominee for the 1999 Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Awards...Salsa Kiss, one of the Encanto line's first titles, was chosen to be serialized on Univision.com...The Cop & the Mermaid is my longest novel, so if you want a big, fat, juicy read about a mermaid, pack it with your flip-flops and sunscreen and bring it along to the beach!

And now for the first time in ebook form, one of my earlier titles (written under my other pen name, Consuelo Vazquez) is now available! This baby was originally published by Kensington in 2000 for their Encanto line. So if you read it just about 12 years ago and would like to capture it for your Kindle, or if you've never read it and want to spice your life up with the still-red-hot Latin lover in this updated tale, then head on over to Amazon and make it yours today!

Tino Suarez never believed in mermaids—that is, until he found himself up close and personal with one of those temptingly sexy, fish-tailed ladies of the sea. Even more amazing is that this fateful meeting has taken place on dry land, right there in the little Long Island fishing village the brooding sea captain calls home.

But if she truly is a mermaid, then this beautiful and saucy Latin siren is posing as a flesh-and-blood woman. Kiki Figueroa, co-owner of the new Puerto Rican restaurant in town, still believes in love, though she’s gone through a painful marriage that ended in divorce. She also believes there’s a passionate fire inside that seagoing Spaniard and that he’s the catch of a lifetime for any woman, human or mythical. The problem? Captain Suarez has also been deeply disappointed by love. So it’s going to take a legend as old as the sea to make him believe once again.

Originally published in 2000 by Kensington Publishing.

Currently working on...

1. Doing the final edits on SEA SIREN, which *may* be getting released in June versus July, but only if it's edited & polished by then, and

2. Working on the first of a 4-book Christian romance series set in the 1940s.

Also in the meantime, my first Christian inspirational romance, GLIMMERS OF HEAVEN, has held steady on THREE Amazon bestseller lists! I am both pleasantly surprised and honored, especially considering the book was my first indie title, published in October of 2011. Hope it blesses and brings pleasure to its readers, and I'm looking forward to bringing out the series, which is tentatively titled THE SONGBIRDS SERIES.

Not to be a tease, but more info to follow!

COMING IN SUMMER 2012

Never say never! :D

Recently I told an old friend and fellow author that I didn't know if I would ever really revive my old pen name of Consuelo Vazquez. That's all changed, because of course, you should never say never.

I'm happy to report that SEA SIREN, originally published twelve years ago in 2000 under the Encanto imprint, will be released for the very first time in ebook form. Tentatively scheduled for a July 2012 release, SEA SIREN is a sensuous romance with a hero who hails from Spain and a Puerto Rican heroine. In the coming weeks, be sure to drop by for more news, plus an enticing excerpt, of a haunting story that is sure to heat up your ereader!

Spring Release!

Available now--and ahead of schedule--CHAMPAGNE TASTE!

You can find it for your Kindle on Amazon or get on Smashwords. This chick lit/contemporary romantic comedy fusion, set in Greenville, South Carolina is my latest indie title. So get 'em while they're hot!
