Cougar's Kiss

As of six o’clock this evening, I submitted Cougar’s Kiss to Shadowfire Press, my awesome publisher. At just over 66,000 words, it will be the longest work I’ve had published to date. If it gets accepted. *Fingers crossed*

A few acknowledgements are in order…

Thanks to Kitty Cahill, my gal pal and crit partner for being awesome, fun, and hard-working.

To J, The Husband from Heaven, for being an understanding sweetie when dinner consisted of take-out. Again.

And to my Mom, who’s always encouraged me.

I’ll post again soon with details about the edit process, the final wordcount and the cover. Can’t wait for that! *Sending get well wishes to Coyote*

Let's Hear It

Kitty Cahill, the BEST critique partner, in the world, has a debut today and I want to take the opportunity to plug her latest masterpiece of suspensful erotic fiction, Love's Vision. Awesome job, woman! :)

Busted Cover

My publisher sent me an e-mail containing the cover art for a new story "Busted." A Jimmy Thomas cover at that. I think this would fall under the category of Impending-Orgasm-Boobie-Clutching Goodness.

Whoo hoo! I loves it.

Thanks, Michael! :)

Cougar's Kiss

Working on a new story for SFP called "Cougar's Kiss." It's an interracial cougar shifter story. And when I say cougar shifter, I mean it in both senses of both words. My heroine is an older woman aka a cougar and she is a shapeshifter/werecougar.

My heroine is inspired by Sondra Locke a la Sudden Impact. (God, I love that movie.) Here's a pic of her. Isn't she lovely?

Below is a movie still from Sudden Impact.

This is my heroine's style of dress and is a good example of her wispy Southern belle look.

Mating Season Cover

I didn't have any specific ideas for the cover of my latest story (usually I have some vague idea of how I would like a cover to look) so I told the creative powers that be at SFP to go for it. My only request was that they made sure to put a hot Native American guy on the cover. Score!

Here it is...my uber-super-duper cover for Mating Season. My (count it, people!) THIRD release with Shadowfire Press! Is the studly-muffinous hero coverbabe reeking of hawtness or what? :)

Accepted

Shadowfire Press accepted "Mating Season"! Whoo-hoo! *Snoopy happy dance*

I did it. Comes out April 1st. No, seriously, that's not a joke. :)

Mating Season

Back on New Year's Eve or thereabouts Michael Barnette of SFP asked me when I was going to send them more stories. I asked him if he was still accepting stories for the Easter line and he said they were. I had the perfect Easter-themed story, Mating Season. So I went to work for all of January getting it polished and submitted it today.

*huge sigh* Now for copious amounts of nail-biting, profuse sweating, and pins and needles-sitting.

This is the first submission without the aid of any CP and I hope I did a good job. Wish me luck!
