Wow, I couldn’t be more thrilled at the good news today!

The folks over at CataRomance have awarded my steamy novella, Siren Song, a 2011 Reviewer’s Choice Award. Based on Greek mythology, this novella is about a modern day siren who falls in love with a Naval Officer. Like all the parts of the Mythica Series, the story revolves around the horrors of war and how love helps heal those wounds.

One of the first things I remember about writing Siren Song is how uncooperative my heroine was. She was was supposed to be a super-smart-mouthed diva, a hard ass, a bitchy queen who would try to eat up the hero and spit him out. Given her troubled past, she had every reason to be walled up and in need of rescue.

But Chloe had a thing or two to teach me while I was writing. Sure, she had a bad past. But she didn’t take it out on others. In spite of her potty-mouth, she turned out to be one of the most soft-hearted, innocent, sweet heroines I’ve ever written. She was also stronger than I expected her to be. She didn’t need rescue. She rescues herself and the hero besides.

One of the many reasons I’m very proud of that novella!

Welcome! Today we’ve got six more sentences of my newly released paranormal erotic romance, The Fever & The Fury

She stared down at her palm to see the miracle of what he’d just done, but it wasn’t visible to the naked eye and this anguished her, because if she couldn’t see or touch or taste this kiss, how could she ever convince herself that it had actually happened? Her heart suddenly remembered itself, and the world came back in a rush of blood that roared past her ears. “But…but…I could have sent stabbing pains through you when you kissed me. Somehow, you must have known I wouldn’t do it.”

“No, Phaedra,” Luke said, meeting her eyes. “It’s just that some things are worth doing at any price.”

So, what’s the deal? Luke is a former soldier turned phoenix with the power to consume himself in flames and be born again whenever he dies. The woman of his nightmares? The ancient Fury who has been unleashed by the gods to torment him. But when Phaedra realizes that her usual methods of torture aren’t going to work on a man like Luke, she decides to drive him mad with desire… he turns the tables.

The rest is high erotic comedy
