To get us startedcan you tell us a little about what you are working on or have coming out?

Right now, I'mworking on the fifth book in the Truth or Dare series, it's about Arden's brother, Bastian and her secretary,Rick. The fourth book in the series is the story of the fourth Blake brother,Dan Blake. It's called Taking the Dare and it will be released on February 3^rdfrom Breathless Press.

 If someone hasn't read any of your work,what book would you recommend that they start with and why?

I'd recommendstarting with Keeping House. I think it strikes the right notes, humor,romance, and fantasy. It is lighthearted, easy reading to while away an hour orso. 

Ifyou could entertain a character from a book, who would it be and what would theevening be like?

Hmmm...I'd invite Athos, of Dumas's The Three Musketeers, for anight of wine, stargazing and conversation. I always felt his was the most interestingcharacter of the four, you know?

What would you say is yourinteresting writing quirk?

I'm addicted toellipses.  I put them in everywhere andhave to edit them out before I send my manuscripts on to my editor.

What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?

Ummm...whileresearching for Giving Up, book three of the Truth or Dare series, I learnedthat some people name their toys. I didn't believe it at first, so I confirmedit with some friends in the Story Orgy, and they said it is indeed true.

Ifyou had a reporter follow you around for the day, what would the readers get tosee in your daily schedule? 

Huh.  Average day:

I get up at five, make and drink coffee, watch the sun come up,write, Facebook. Do household stuff, read, bake, and write some more. I playwith my cat and my dog, walk in the woods or in the spring and summer, garden.Most nights, I'm in bed by ten.

Whatdoes your workstation look like?

It's in my kitchen, because I bake when the characters aredisobedient. The ingredients pretty much always do what I say, the charactersnot so much. I have a desk with a printer and a desktop computer because I donot like lap tops. There's a shelf of reference books. It's all pretty neat,I’m kind of OCD about my desk space.

Areyou the type of individual who gets weepy at the end of a good movie, or a sadmovie, or do you just stay neutral through it all? 

Ummm... I don't cry at movies. Possibly because I don't actuallywatch very many that are tear worthy.  Welike action/adventure and comedy flicks.

What are you working on now?

Right now, I'mwriting a new contemporary romance, the 5^th book in my Truth or Dareseries. It's an m/m romance about Arden's brother and her secretary.

For fun:

What is your favorite pizza?

I like a thickdoughy crust, light sauce, good cheese, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives,onions, and Roma tomatoes.

What is one thing scientistsshould invent?

A coffee machinethat teleports coffee into your hand wherever you are.  What? I’m serious.

Are you a morning person or anight person?

I am mostdefinitely a morning person. I find that the sunrise inspires me. It purifiesmy thoughts and grounds me in the here and now. No point worrying aboutyesterday, it's gone, no point worrying about tomorrow, it's not here. What youhave is a day before that is full of potential, full of possibility. Make of itwhat you will.

When you looked in the mirrorthis morning, what was the first thing you thought?

Whoa...I stillhaven't gotten up the guts to look in the mirror yet this morning.

Anything else you would liketo add?

Thank you for having me onthe blog today! I appreciate the opportunity.

The Librarian

Blurb

Valentine Michaels has just taken a vow of celibacy. AdrianGrey intends to take full advantage of that vow to re-create his relationshipwith Val.

Val is at a crossroads in his life. A college dropout, he'sgone as far as he can in his career as a cosmetologist, owning his own stylesalon. He no longer finds satisfaction in it, though he's put years intoproving to his bigoted parents that a college degree and the veneer ofstraightness aren't the only roads to success. They'd turned their backs on him,and he proved he didn't need them to make it.

His love life is no better than his working life. Hisrelationships always start with a bang and fizzle into boredom, or worse,anger.

Adrian has his own agenda forhelping Val: he's been in love with Val since they were freshmen. Theintervening years of listening to Val's gossip about his lovers andrelationships have taught Adrian just what it was he did wrong all those yearsago, and he thinks this time around he now knows exactly how to get—and keep—hisman.
