Wish brings home a reward...

I had planned on doing a big round-up tomorrow on all the reviews that I've received lately, and there have been quite a few. But I got one this afternoon that I just couldn't wait to share. Wish Me Up, Rub Me Down, my January release from Resplendence Publishing, received a Reviewer's Top Pick award from Night Owl Romance.

This book, which started out with a dull title, was so much fun to write, and to see it get five hearts, and a top choice award, makes my hands shake and my knees rattle. Thanks so much to Dee for honoring my work with this. Here's the link for the whole review:

And tomorrow, as promised, I'll list the links for reviews so you can see what people are saying.
Until then, take care

On deck from Melinda...

I have been sick, true, but not totally idle. Maybe that's why it's taken me so so long to get over this crude that's infected my body.

I have signed four new contracts this week That's right, four. The sheer number makes me look at my calendar of editing time and groan. The first one is from Loose Id, for a series tentatively titled the Pentagram Stones. It's called Amethyst Eyes, and is about a trio that has to find a stolen magical stone to help keep an evil witch locked in a pentagram.

The second is A Dusting of Syn, for Resplendence Publishing. It's an adult Cinderella tale about a woman and her battle with, what else, her evil stepmother and two stepsisters, and the knight that comes to save her. It's historical, and is very hot.

The third is for Changeling Press, Spaceport: Black Diamonds. It features a woman who is seeking a map to lead her to a cache of black diamonds back on Earth. She has to battle two men for it, and they all end up winning. *WEG* It's futuristic and is set in the Spaceport world created by Changeling. If you haven't seen this series check it out. It's a lot of fun.

And the fourth is a new publisher for me: Aspen Mountain Press. It's for their Plain Brown Wrapper series, and is called Pajama Party, featuring a woman's coed birthday party set at her island resort.

So, it's going to be a busy time, with lots of editing for me and lots of reading for you. I'll let you know more about each one as the time draws nearer! In the meantime, take care.

I am awake now .....

Just in time for the arrival of Tygers 4: Sweet Awakening. I've had a very nasty upper respiratory infection for the past week, and have spent most of my time sleeping. The fever broke on Sunday, though, and today I feel like I might live. Hopefully.

Which is a good thing, since I can come by and tell you about Tygers 4: Sweet Awakening. It released today from Loose Id, and is a different sort of Tygers book. This one is a m/f/m menage, and begins in Albuquerque, but goes to the Caribbean, and a BDSM resport called Paragon's.

I had a great deal of fun writing it, and I can't wait to hear what y'all have to say about it. I'm anxious about this one, since it features two Doms and a sub, and I wanted a good relationship between the three of them. So, after you read it, please let me know what you think. Thanks as always for sticking around for the fun! I have some book news, too, that I'll post tomorrow.... just to get you to come back.
Take care!
