The romance community is banding together to support one of our own–author Jo Leigh lost her husband to cancer earlier this year and is being swamped with medical bills (writers are generally self-employed and often do not have medical insurance). In an effort to help Jo Leigh pay off some of these bills, an online auction is being held. And this auction…well, it’s got some terrific gifts.  Critiques from editors, authors, and agents. Books–lots of books.

So many gifts–especially if you’ve got writers on your Christmas list. (These gifts would be perfect for ’em!)

I’m donating autographed copies of HOTTER AFTER MIDNIGHT, MIDNIGHT SINS, WHEN HE WAS BAD, and EVERLASTING BAD BOYS to the auction.  I’ve also offered a partial critique of a manuscript (the first 60 pages).  Check out the auction–I think you’ll be surprised  by the great assortment of items.

Update:  If you want to place a bid on an item, follow this ebay link.  Thanks! More items will be added on this ebay link very soon.

Wow–I feel like I am moving in super slow time this morning.  I’ll blame that on the turkey.  🙂  I haven’t gone out and braved the Black Friday shopping yet, but I will soon!  

Now, if you’d like to get a nice little prize/present without leaving the comfort of your home, head over the the Love Romances and More blog–I’ve been interviewed there and one commenter will win her/his choice:  either an autographed copy of my new release MIDNIGHT SINS or any autographed book from my backlist. 

Enjoy your Black Friday!

I hope you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hi, everyone!  I know a lot of you are hitting the roads (or skies) today as you head home for Thanksgiving. I hope you stay safe and that you get to eat as much turkey as you’d like.  🙂

I’m continuing my adventures in blogging today.  First up, I’m over at Riding With the Top Down.  I’m talking about why I’m thankful for romance books. Leave a comment and you could win an autographed copy of MIDNIGHT SINS. (What?  You haven’t bought your copy yet? Well, okay–here’s your chance to get it for free–or to get one for a friend. Cause you know what…books make such awesome Christmas presents.)

I’m also blogging at The Bradford Bunch and Brava Authors.  Today turned into one of those “perfect storm” blogging dates for me.  My scheduled Bradford and Brava days collided and I got to share the blog love.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Today’s the release day! MIDNIGHT SINS should now available in a bookstore near you (or it’s shipping from Amazon.com or B&N or…).  Yay!!  I LOVE release days.

The description:

Cara Maloan doesn’t look like a monster. In fact, the gorgeous blond nightclub singer possesses heavenly attributes that make Atlanta detective Todd Brooks sure there’s a higher power somewhere. But a twisted killer is leaving a trail of bodies in seedy hotel rooms across town. The male victims show no wounds–it’s as if the life was simply drained from them. And right now, mysterious Cara is Todd’s only suspect.

Cara knows it’s foolish to be so drawn to a man who thinks she’s a murderer. She also knows Detective Brooks would find the truth even harder to swallow. Cara is one of the Other, a race of powerful, paranormal creatures who live among humans. Cara’s particular abilities make men putty in her hands–all except this rugged, sexy-as-hell detective. But now someone, or something, has singled Cara out for serious payback…

As uneasy trust gives way to mind-blowing desire, Cara and Todd will go head-to-head with a killer whose mission is deeply personal, and who’s determined to serve up revenge that’s hotter than hellfire, and just as deadly…

I’ve got some great online friends who are helping me to celebrate my release. I’m guest blogging with the wonderful Magical Musings ladies–and giving away an autographed book from my backlist. (Hey–when it’s a celebration, prizes must be available!) The gracious and talented Nicole North interviewed me over at Fierce Romance.  And, yep, a prize is up for grabs there, too!

I’d also like to thank Megan Hart–a truly fabulous lady–for posting an interview on her blog, too.

MIDNIGHT SINS…out just in time for your holiday shopping (be sure to pick one up on Black Friday–most bookstores are offering great shopping deals that day). Or, hey, why wait?  Get one now and read it while you stand in those long lines on Friday.  It will help you to block out the Black Friday madness around you.
