It’s amazing the things that excite an author, isn’t it? The first reader mail is always the sweetest. Following fan mail makes your heart beat faster. New contracts help you breathe easier. Award nominations fill you with hellium so you’re floating near the ceiling for weeks.

Finding my book listed in the Fictionwise newsletter made me grin till my jaws ached. Correction, still grinning, jaws still hurt!

I thought I’d let you in on my excitement with a screenshot.

Welcome!

So glad you dropped by. There’s a lot going on right now so let me point you in the right direction.

If you’re looking for information on my bestselling Stormy Weather series, you’ll find it here. I have a new short-sizzling erotica out now called The Wine Tasting. It’s part of a collaborative series with four other talented authors. So if you’re looking for something inexpensive and super steamy, give it a read.

Bound and Determined was just nominated for two (count ‘em… 2!) awards from Love Romances Cafe. Award nominations are in Best Shape Shifter of 2008 and Best Erotic Book of 2008.

I am absolutely stunned, floored, thankful, and shocked by these nominations. My dear friend Leila had to tell me because I’m just so clueless about such things. So to whomever nominated B&D, thank you SO much and I’m so happy you enjoyed it!

From here you can also see what I’m up to (via twitter and plurk), sign my guestbook (it’s a little empty at the moment. ), read my rarely updated blog turned notes, sign up for my newsletter and get a free short story!, find out about all my books, and contact me if you wish. I really like fan mail, you know…

I’m so excited about the new year. A time of such wonderful possibilities and hot new books just waiting to be read. Hope you have a safe and happy new year!
