This is the wicked Lord Minshom’s book and it comes out in early May 2010.

Here’s the Blurb

THE MOST SCANDALOUS PASSIONS…
Lord Minshom is known throughout London for embracing every illicit longing-the more scandalous the better. When his estranged wife, Lady Jane returns with an ultimatum he flatly refuses-even if it means she will turn to other men. Forced to watch Jane flirt shamelessly at the House of Pleasure, Minshom is enraged…and excited. The innocent girl he wed at seventeen has transformed into a voluptuous woman who still ignites a scorching hunger within him…
ARE ALWAYS THE MOST PLEASURABLE…
After seven years apart from her husband, Jane is now ready to settle their differences and start afresh. But when she is reunited with Minshom, his attitude infuriates her-and she is determined to teach him a lesson. Yet even as Jane accepts the attentions of other men, it is Minshom she truly wants. For she alone knows how to satisfy all of his wicked needs…

And psst-by the way-Amazon have Simply Sinful and Shameless at half-price at the moment!

What a cover!!!!

“The Christmas She Rules”
Control is her kink…and she’s losing it.

It’s another gloomy Christmas for Pamela Dane. Not only is it the anniversary of a dark period in her life, but all her friends had the nerve to hook up. It’s not easy for a female Domme to find a playmate. Maybe The Cage in San Francisco will be the perfect place to escape—and find a willing man to chase away the memories.

Christian Nolan is at the BDSM club for the hell of it. Yet the minute Mistress Dane takes control of him, she not only stuns him with her talent, he stuns himself with his willingness to surrender. Her offer to meet him there for another night is intriguing—and frightening.

Pamela’s session with Chris shakes her to the core, resurrecting memories she’s afraid to face. But Chris isn’t willing to let her past haunt her…even if it leaves his heart in tatters.

Warning: Hot, strong man on his knees, which will bring you to yours. Strap-on action, anal play, lots of leather and tons of tension. Alpha male who likes to do whatever the right woman tells him to do, including another woman.

Carolina Wolf by Sela Carsen (psst! This is me!)
Debra knows that the teensy amount of witchcraft in her veins isn’t worth getting excited about. Yet someone—or something—thinks it’s worth attacking her. Rescuing her seals Maddox’s fate, but only if he can protect her from a rogue of his kind. A werewolf with a nasty streak…and a preference for raw meat.

The Ghost Shrink, the Accidental Gigolo and the Poltergeist Accountant by Vivi Andrews
Lucy is doomed. Not to death. To nightly visits from recently deceased Casanovas without the bodies to scratch her itch. Then a living fantasy arrives on her doorstep. Is her dry spell at an end? Not hardly. Jake has been sent to prevent her from getting laid until a particular horny phantom—and key witness in his investigation—pays her a visit.

"The Scroll Thief: a Tale of Ithian" by R. F. Long

Love is the wiliest thief of all.

A Tale of Ithian

Malachy and his sister rely on his talents as a thief to survive the dangerous streets of Klathport, former capital of the once-great kingdom of Ithian. Stealing a few papers should have been a simple job. Instead, it nearly costs their lives and throws them into an improbable alliance with a shape-shifting official, a desert tribeswoman, and a healer of enchanting beauty.

Cerys is far more than a simple healer—and the roots of her mission go deeper into the past than anyone can know. She needs Malachy’s skills to recover a stolen scroll, one that can be used to rewrite history and, in the wrong hands, release the dark powers of the Demon Realm.

Her mission was supposed to atone for a dreadful, long-ago act. Instead, it unleashes a chain of events which sees them pursued through city and desert by the fearsome Dune Witch and a killer known only as His Lordship. Romance, tragedy, and adventure blend in a tale of a magical land on the brink of war, and five unlikely allies who, by putting their lives—and their hearts—on the line, have the opportunity to finally set things right.

But at a terrible cost.

Warning: Contains scenes of graphic violence and torture, captivating magic and beauty, two dashing heroes, three gutsy heroines, several love stories and a heartbreaking sacrifice.

A Love Never ending
By Rowan Larke

Death took Jason from Clarissa, and she blames herself. Night after night, she throws herself into the arms of other men—men who abuse and pleasure her, but never take her far enough. She is waiting for the one who will take her over the edge and into death, so she can be reunited with Jason.

Death didn’t take Jason far enough. Every night, Jason watches. His immortal self is trapped inside the club Clarissa owns, and he longs to be with her once more.

Death is a dark angel. A handsome man. The promise of violence in his eyes draws Clarissa to him. Will a single night in bed with Death be all it takes to destroy Jason and Clarissa’s love neverending, or will it be just the beginning?

Apologies for non-appearance of new blog on Monday. My daughter was sick and I had to concentrate on being a mother for a few days. She seems fine now

I’m busy writing the Tudor Vamps and checking page proofs for Simply Insatiable.

Just for laughs, here’s a picture of me surrounded by my 5 sisters-I am 4 of 6-yes, the forgotten middle child. I’m not sure what I was going for in that dress, I look as wide as a bus in those stripes! At 5ft 6 I’m also the shortest and the only one with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. The others all have blue/grey eyes and not all of them are natural blondes… (just sayin’)

btw-if you are looking for a bargain price copy of “Where have all the Cowboys gone?” Try this link for Barnes & Noble

First up, there is a pre-order link on amazon already for “Kiss of the Rose’ isn’t that exciting? And even better news is that they’ve moved it up to August for release.

Not much text for you this week, but a few pictures instead. I think I mentioned that I rarely see pictures of my heroes, but I did luck out and find these ones of two real-life French Rugby playing brothers, Mauro and Mirco Bergamasco who remind me of the Harcourt twins, Gervase and Gideon, from Eden’s Pleasure and Antonia’s Bargain.

.

And then there’s this one of Mauro…

And in case you are wondering where on earth I got those pictures, they are both from the official French Rugby calender, Dieux De Stade-Gods of the Stadium.

And while you’re clearing your throats and fanning yourselves over those images, (and ordering the calender) let’s talk about facial hair on men. I must admit that I quite like a nice goatee on a man, but a lot of women don’t. As I’m writing a Tudor hero in an era when almost everyone had a beard. I had to go and find some inspiration. And, boy did I find some

“The Tudors” on Showtime were quite helpful.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

and Henry Cavill

and from the movie ‘Elizabeth’ Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh

Then there is my next cover for “Some like it Rough”

Are you convinced yet?

This is a good one-I know, I got to read it early-and it’s yummy

UNTAMED by Crystal Jordan

The biological warfare of the twenty-first century changed the planet in astonishing ways, transforming humans into shape-shifters who love to walk on the wild side—reveling in danger and the explosive desire that consumes them…

Desire For A Price

Half-human, half-lynx, Delilah Chase makes her living as a professional thief. But when half-human, half-hawk Hunter Avery catches her trying to steal his priceless ruby, he makes her a proposition: spend a week in his bed, or take a trip to jail. What follows is seven days of unrelenting, primitive passion neither can live without…

Desire With No Limits

As the owner of Tail, the most notorious techno brothel in New Chicago, mink-shifter Lorelei Chase specializes in fulfilling all of her clients’ kinky fantasies. She just has one rule: Never sample the goods that her customers or workers offer. But every day, jaguar-shifter Nolan Angelo and wolf-shifter Pierce Vaughn tempt her to break that rule—until she ultimately gives in to a burning lust that knows no control…

A few weeks ago I was waiting at the hairdressers while son #3 was having all his lovely blond hair cut off, and I started reading People magazine. A few pages in I saw this ad. I can’t quite remember what the product was because of the guy in the picture. It was the first image I’d ever seen that reminded me of Valentin Sokorvsky from the first Simply book, Simply Sexual.

I have to tell you something…Valentin is still my favorite hero. I want to write at least another book about him because he simply intrigues me, and I know I haven’t really discovered all the fascinating hang-ups of his complex personality. I love all my heroes, even Lord Minshom and yet Val is the one I’d most like to meet.

So, you can imagine that I was thrilled to see an image of him. I checked the date on the People magazine but it was brand new, so I couldn’t bring myself to pinch the ad or to ask if I could have it because, then I would’ve looked weird. I went home and tried to google the ad but I couldn’t find it online anywhere. I resigned myself to never seeing that gorgeous face again.

Then last week I opened a thread on RWAOnline and there he was…the same guy, in a different ad, but it was definitely him!

Okay, so not absolutely him, but the facial structure and the eyes? Very Valentin.
I know that some of you will now be disagreeing with me as your image of Valentin isn’t the same as mine at all-I know how that feels. it’s like when a film casts someone who looks nothing like the character in your head.
This is Oriol Elcacho, btw, just in case you’d like to go and check out some other pictures of him
Oops I just accidentally ‘stumbled’ on another picture of him

This is me, without make up and my dog, Hunter, who looks beautiful without make up, because he just is. I really don’t like photo’s of myself I don’t know why. It’s not that I think I’m pug ugly or anything, it’s just that I don’t ever think I look like a still picture of me because I’m always smiling or frowning, my face is a marvel of motion LOL.

I’m super busy at the moment trying to get Simply VI finished up and Tudor Vampire’s book #1 KISS OF THE ROSE, written. Both are coming along nicely, but I almost always get sick in November, so I’m trying to get everything done ahead of schedule so that I can just die quietly for a few days if I need to.

Trivia fact of the week. In all the books I have a little habit or giving the surnames of writers I admire to some of my characters. For example, Peter Howard is named after one of my all-time favorite writers, Linda Howard and Philip Ross, is named after another Julia Ross. Sprinkled in my books you’ll also find Austen, Roberts, Ward, and several other well-known names. It gives me a little thrill to put them in there as a sort of homage to my genre.
Now you’ll all be checking, won’t you?

Hi guys and thanks for entering. I wish you could all win but here are the three lucky winners!
