So, Barbara's Redemption, Book 2 in my Disarmed & Dangerous series is finished, just waiting on some final comments from my street team before I send it off to my publisher. And as happens every time I write a new book, I found my next hero, Zak. I can't wait to start his story, but I promised myself I wouldn't until I've re-written Kate & Jack's. So, I'm fidgeting, desperate to start a new book - but Zak will just have to wait, although I suspect Book 3 is not going to be long... If you want a reminder who Barbara is, I featured her in Flynn's Kiss, Disarmed & Dangerous Book 1.  Barbara Lynn Perry came to an evening of celebration for one of my book launches (Flight of Her Life) and won a competition for me to name a character after her. She was only supposed to be a walk-on part, but she said, “Oooohh, can I be a cold-hearted killer?” Sure you can, Barbara! And a new heroine was born. Here's a little snippet from Flynn's Kiss ...

A very warm welcome to one of my fellow authors, Rosanna Leo.It's an absolute pleasure to have her visit with her new release The Stand-In. Thank you to Diane for hosting me today. I’m thrilled to be here on Friday the 13 th . I realize many consider this day to be brimming with bad luck, but I’ve never looked at it the same way. I’ve heard talk that Italians consider Friday the 13 th to be a good luck day. (I’m pretty sure some Italian guy just made it up, but let’s go with that!) Bad luck is certainly an appropriate topic to discuss. My latest contemporary romance The Stand-In boasts characters who have had their own share of unfortunate luck. Both heroine Winn and hero Patrick have had to endure horrible situations, ones they did not create. In fact, although they have some obvious differences at the start of the book, they do help each other to overcome the negativity caused by their hard times. We all deal with trouble from time to time. It can drive our...

This review came in from a lady who has so far read and loved all of my books, but this one was special for her because she got to read it at an early stage, when it was just an android with barely any skin... Ever wanted to build the perfect guy? Change that nose a bit, raise that droopy ear, and maybe add a few inches in the right place(s)? Zaphira gets to do that and more to the android version of Aiden, the geeky science boy who was her father’s assistant and the secret teenage crush who broke her heart. Of course all that was eight years ago and he, along with everyone else was now dead. Except her. Which meant she was alone until something comes bubbling out of her stream one day. Except his eyes are a different color – different colors, in fact. And he has more muscles. Confused? So was she. That’s what happens when you start talking about time travel. Zaphira’s scientist father promised her that there were going to be other survivors from this terrible plague a...

The secrets she hides are deadly. Ryan Landry isn't accustomed to rejection. Three-time Olympic Gold Medalist, he's the local hero who came home to run a ranch and be near his family.

When her dangerous past catches up to Brandi, Ryan is determined to break through her secrets to find the truth no matter what the cost. Trapped in a whiteou...

In the beginning... well, I started as a contemporary romance writer, but I've always read across the genres. So I'm going to take you back to how it all started, and this was the first blog way back in July 2013. So, this is how it happened.  To tell the truth, I’m not quite sure how it happened, Allyson Lindt is responsible, without a shadow of a doubt. You see, Allyson, challenged Eva to enter a competition and vis versa . Interesting, but did they take up the gauntlet? I may have – or may not have grabbed that gauntlet and run with it.  We will see. But that particular issue may be irrelevant at this point.   And the point is that somehow, goaded by two enthusiastic authors, I challenged them to a competition: THREE AUTHORS THREE MONTHS ONE BLOG POST EACH EVERY THREE WEEKS ONE CHALLENGE 1.         The Authors a.         Eva Lefoy b.     ...
