Great Beginnings (And a Giveaway)

I’m starting the second book in my contract with InterMix.  It’s part of the same series, so when you read The Temporary Wife, you will meet characters from the new book that I’ve tentatively called A Simple Affair.

I’ve been agonizing over this book.  The characters, the plot, all of it.  But nothing is harder for me than actually starting.

The first line. *shudders*

I think I’ve got this one.

My book is up for pre-order on Barnes and Noble, Amazon and iTunes.  Yes, The Temporary Wife is real!  There’s no cover yet, but hopefully we’ll see that soon.  In the meantime, here’s the “back” cover copy.

The Harpy Revisited

The response to yesterday’s post on the Harpy was overwhelming.  I received lots of e-mails and messages, and the comments section here was very active. Reactions came for two reasons.  One, had to do with the obvious disrespect toward genre fiction, specifically romance, and the second had to do with Harpy’s lack of manners.

As far as her manners, there’s no stopping people from being who they are, but that doesn’t mean they should get a free pass.
