The Bradford Bunch blog is up and running! And to kick things off, Ann is giving away a $25 Amazon gift certificate and an ARC of Your Alibi. Hurry over and check out the blog!

And Happy Father’s Day, Dad!! (Mom, I know you read the blog, so pass the well wishes to Dad, will you?)

I am going to be participing in a fabulous (and I’m not saying this just because I’m part of this blog team–it truly will be FABULOUS!) new group blog–The Bradford Bunch. Seven of literary agent Laura Bradford’s clients will be posting on this blog. The Bunch consists of yours truly, Ann Aguirre, Anya Bast, Jodi Lynn Copland, Lauren Dane, Marissa Scott, and Vonna Harper.

The official luanch is Sunday, June 17th. So, after you’ve had a bit of Father’s Day fun, pop over. Ann will be creating the first blog entry, and then the rest of the Bunch will fall in order after her. Tuesdays will be my blog days.

As part of our kick-off celebration, we’ll be giving away a ton of prizes. (On Tuesday, I’ll be giving away an autographed copy of Secrets, Volume 18: Dark Passions.) So stop by, leave a comment, and let us know what you think!

Today’s post is up on the Brava Blog! Wanna read about some great cheap dates? Then check out my post!

And have a wonderful Friday! 🙂

Wanna hear a jaguar roar? (Click the link and scroll down–you’ll see the sound box!) Cuz, they do, you know. Actually, you might not know that–apparently, there’s been some debate as to whether or not a jaguar is a roaring cat. I know this because I’ve spent the last week researching these amazing cats for my WIP. My hero is a jaguar shifter, a black one, and I’m trying to get my details straight.

I love researching for my books. I swear, I always learn something new and, often, gory. Like this fun fact: “The jaguar has a rough tongue that is designed for peeling the skin away from the flesh of its prey, and to peel the flesh away from its prey’s bones.” Oh, yeah, you can bet I’ll be using that little tidbit in my novella.

Anyone else out there recently learn any good research trivia? Hmm?

Just popping in because it’s been a while since I’ve discussed my WIPs. Until recently, I was working on a novel for Kensington featuring my succubus (love writing about her!). I got some great news before my birthday though (early b/day present–thanks, Kensington!), and I’m now shifting gears and working on a novella for Brava. Hopefully, I will get this story finished and back to my editor and it will be pubished in an upcoming anthology.

Now, I am not one of those people who can work on two stories at once. I’m just not. Characters get tangled, and suddenly my spunky heroine is trying to live in my quiet, shy heroine. So, I like to work on one book at a time–and that is why, as my grandmother would say, my succubus must get put “on the back burner” for the next few weeks. But don’t worry about that sex demon, she’ll be just fine…and there are only about 100 pages to go in her story.

In other news…the house in on the market. Yay! Um, hello? Been a week–where are my offers??? I’ve got to say, the hardest part of this whole selling the house endeavour is…Keeping. The. Dang. Thing. Clean. Sigh. And also, I wonder…what do these potential house buyers think of me when they go into my office and see my dozens of books on crime scenes, planning the perfect murder, poisons, weapons, torture devices, and well, you get the idea.

Hmm. I hope my books aren’t scaring off any potential buyers!
