Tomorrow, I’ll be starting a new feature here at the blog:  Write On! Wednesday. A different author will be featured each week–that author will answer writing questions or post a writing craft blog.  My very first guest will be the awesomely fabulous Megan Hart. So come by tomorrow to learn some of her writing secrets!

And the ladies over at Southern Sizzle Romance have posted a fabulous interview with Kensington Editor Megan Records.  Definitely check it out!

I found out today that BELONG TO THE NIGHT (my paranormal anthology with Shelly Laurenston and Sherrill Quinn) is a 2009 PEARL Finalist in the anthology category.   I’m thrilled to be in such wonderful book company!  Congratulations to all of the other finalists (in all categories)!

In case you’re curious, you can see the full list of finalists here.

I wanted to share the cover of my holiday anthology with you…

THE NAUGHTY LIST will be available on September 28, 2010.  I was very excited to be included in this anthology with Donna Kauffman and Susan Fox.  And I love our cover. So makes me want to go build a snowman.

My novella in this anthology is a straight contemporary story–by that, I mean no vampires, no demons and not even any serial killers! Just a fun holiday tale.

Soon I’ll be able to post the blurbs so you can get a feel for the stories.  Sweet! My first Christmas anthology!

Have a great weekend.

Updated to add:  My awesome editor sent me the back cover blurb! Thank you, Magnificent M!

The blurb:

Deck the halls with white-hot passion!

DONNA KAUFFMAN

Naughty But Nice

Businessman Griffin’s never believed in luck…until sassy-sweet small-town baker Melody turns his world around. Except there’s a catch: There’s no way he’ll be able to build his empire and hold on to her. His new “lucky charm” could destroy all his dreams…or make this Christmas better than he ever imagined possible…

CYNTHIA EDEN

All I Want for Christmas

Good girl toy inventor Christie takes a walk on the naughty side when she sparks a no-strings fling with Santa—actually, sexy cop Jonas in a Santa suit. She loves her new “bad girl” persona, except as the holidays approach, she starts falling, and hard, for this known’ “love ’em and leave ’em” ladies man…

SUSAN FOX

Tattoos and Mistletoe

Charlie returns to her hometown to fix up her aunt’s B&B, but she doesn’t count on LJ handling the renovations. Nerdy LJ pined for her in school, but now he’s grown into the town’s hottest bachelor. Charlie’s been burned before and won’t let him get close. But LJ’s determined to break down her walls and make her dearest Christmas wish come true.

I’ve got a new look for my site!  Please take a few minutes and hop around my place. My new home page now contains a ton of info–my release schedule, my tidbits from the blog, links to follow–facebook, twitter, etc.  I’ve got an excerpt up for I’LL BE SLAYING YOU and an excerpt up for DEADLY FEAR. So look around–you’ll find lots of updates and new info!

And I’ve got a book teaser/trailer to share with you. I like making these teasers. Is it wrong that I find making ’em relaxing?  So here’s my teaser for DEADLY FEAR:

I finished page proofs for DEADLY FEAR earlier this week.  Won’t be long now–DEADLY FEAR is coming!

(And thanks to Nick for the new website!!)
