Celebrating My CP’s First Indie!!
I’m thrilled to announce my critique partner, Elisabeth Naughton (best CP in the world, btw) has released her very first Indie novel!
Eli is an expert at crafting real characters you can’t get enough of, creating heart-wrenching conflict and raising the stakes at every turn. Her heroines are strong, her heroes are hot and her stories are filled with angsty, sexy twists and turns.
WAIT FOR ME is her very first Indie release, a contemporary romance with so much depth and even a little suspense thread. An awesome read!
I’m celebrating the release and the holidays by giving away *5* copies of WAIT FOR ME!!
All you have to do is help us spread the word of Elisabeth’s new release. Each shout is one entry, so the more you shout, the more chances you have to win!
After a tragic accident left her with no memory, Kate Alexander struggled to fit in with a husband and world that didn’t feel right. She’s had no reason to question what friends and family have told her, not until her husband is suddenly killed and she finds a photo of a young girl in his office. A girl who can’t be anyone but a daughter Kate didn’t know she had.
A man desperate for a reason to live…
Ryan Harrison lost his wife in a plane crash five years ago. To cope with the pain of her loss, he dedicated himself to his job and to raising their daughter. Now a successful pharmaceutical executive, Ryan has everything a man could want—money, fame and power—but he’d give it all up in a heartbeat for just one more day with the woman he still loves.
Two lives about to converge.
As Kate begins to dig into a past she doesn’t remember, evidence leads her to San Francisco and puts her on the path toward Ryan, a man who sees in her the woman he loved and lost. Kate feels a draw to Ryan, one she can’t explain, but is that feeling enough to convince her this is where she’s supposed to be? As Ryan and Kate search for answers, they uncover lies long buried, a passion hotter than either expected and a danger that threatens…even now…when the second chance they’ve both been searching for is finally within reach.

CP Release Week Celebration!!
>
Today, Wednesday and Friday I’ll be posting fun interview questions (these are not your mama’s interview questions). Elisabeth gives her answer, and I, as her CP for somewhere around 5 years now, give an answer from MY point of view. Outta be fun!
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, I’ll be posting excerpts from TEMPTED.
EVERYDAY, I’ll be giving away the 2 first books in the series, MARKED and ENTWINED, each with a matching handmade bookmark from those who comment that day.
Sunday, I’ll choose one name from everyone who have commented during the week to WIN an ARC of TEMPTED with a matching bookmark!
Hope you’ll come by everyday to learn a little more about Elisabeth and get a little sneak peak of TEMPTED.
Interview, Day One
Do You Like Going Window Shopping?
E: What’s the point if you aren’t going to buy anything? The older I get the less I enjoy shopping of any kind.
J for E: Window what? If it’s in the window, it’s destiny and meant to be in my closet.
Ever Been Addicted To A Game?
E: Solitaire. It’s the bane of my existence.
J for E: Literati–I kick Joan Swan’s ass every damned game! She sucks! She rarely plays with me anymore. Can’t figure out why.
Do You Have Any Undiscovered Or Hidden Talents?
E: I’m an amazing painter. Of walls. Stop laughing, it’s true. My walls are very pretty and I get compliments on them all the time.
J for E: I can hold down a pint of vodka like nobody’s business and curse more in the first chapter of my manuscript than a drunk sailor on leave.
What is your favorite beverage?
E: Vodka
J for E: Hel-lo!
What is your weapon of choice for the Zombie Apocolypse?
E: Vodka
J for E: I rest my case.
First impression of your significant other.
E: Cute. And old. Why the hell is he talking to me? (I was a lowly freshman in college. He was a senior.)
J for E: Hot. I’m going to keep him around. He’d make good research material when I become a romance author and need those midnight snacks. No, not that kind of snack! Get your mind out of the gutter–you’re crowding mine!
Favorite Midnight Snack?
E: Peanut butter on white bread.
J for E: Foster Freeze Blizzard, which the significant other (see above) runs out pick up for me.

New Year’s Giveaway: Day 15, Elisabeth Naughton
>How do you describe someone who is like the other half of your brain?
Elisabeth Naughton and I have been critique partners for about five years now. We met through another writer who we also critiqued with. Elisabeth and I have both grown and changed over those years, yet we’ve grown closer and changed in similar ways.
Aside from writing in similar genres, we share common values such as work-ethic, professionalism, commitment and karma. Outside publishing we share a love of family, dedication to our long-time marriages, support of true friendship and acceptance of individual quirks and styles — even though my plotting and planning makes her want to pull out her eyelashes and her writing into the mist makes me want to jump off a cliff.
Elisabeth has an amazing ability to understand story structure and visualize the big picture, something I struggle with even after taking courses, reading books and applying it in my work. She has mentored me along the path of writing a series and all that entails.
In fact, it was Elisabeth who emailed me during her Hawaiian vacation because she had an epiphany–that FEVER, my debut novel with Kensington, was perfect for both a series of connected books and a paranormal element. She was convinced that the only reason it hadn’t sold was because the RS market had slowed.
Because I trust her opinion and her vision of my work (and because I have learned she’s often right about most things) I rewrote FEVER, was subsequently offered representation by two well-known agents, and thereafter offered a two book contract.
I have myriad of reasons to be grateful for Elisabeth’s role in my life as mentor and friend, and I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to share her fabulous work with all of you!
She has an amazing voice, sarcastic wit that never fails to have me laughing out loud and kick-ass characters who take no shit. Her stories move fast, twist, turn and flip upside down. So if you’re looking for an author who delivers on the promises they offer at the beginning of a novel (as described in my recent blog post at Brava Authors) Elisabeth is that author.
Up For Win Today:
2 copies of STOLEN FURY, the first in her STOLEN trilogy and double RWA RITA nominee for Best First Book and Best Romantic Suspense.
3 copies of MARKED, the first book in her ETERNAL GUARDIAN series.
3 copies of ENTWINED, the second book in her ETERNAL GUARDIAN series.

Book Summary:
STOLEN FURY:
To unearth a centuries-old secret, an archaeologist must team up with the rakish thief who’s stolen both an ancient relic and her heart…
Oh, is he handsome. And charming. And sexy as all get out. Dr. Lisa Maxwell isn’t the type to go home with a guy she barely knows. But, hey, this is Italy and the red-blooded Rafe Sullivan seems much more enticing than cataloging a bunch of dusty artifacts.
After being fully seduced, Lisa wakes to an empty bed and, worse yet, an empty safe. She’s staked her career as an archaeologist on collecting the three Furies, a priceless set of ancient Greek reliefs. Now the one she had is gone. But Lisa won’t just get mad. She’ll get even.
She tracks Rafe to Florida, and finds the sparks between them blaze hotter than the Miami sun. He may still have her relic, but he’ll never find all three without her. And they’re not the only ones on the hunt. To beat the other treasure seekers, they’ll have to partner up—because suddenly Lisa and Rafe are in a race just to stay alive.
Read an excerpt: HERE.
MARKED:
THERON – Dark haired, duty bound and deceptively deadly. He’s the leader of the Argonauts, an elite group of guardians that defends the immortal realm from threats of the Underworld.
From the moment he walked into the club, Casey knew this guy was different. Men like that just didn’t exist in real life—silky shoulder-length hair, chest impossibly broad, and a predatory manner that just screamed dark and dangerous. He was looking for something. Her.
She was the one. She had the mark. Casey had to die so his kind could live, and it was Theron’s duty to bring her in. But even as a 200-year-old descendent of Hercules, he wasn’t strong enough to resist the pull in her fathomless eyes, to tear himself away from the heat of her body.
As war with the Underworld nears, someone will have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Read and excerpt: HERE.
ENTWINED:
ZANDER — The most feared of all the Eternal Guardians. It’s rumored he can’t be killed, and he always fights like he has nothing to lose. But as a descendant of the famed hero Achilles, he’s got to have a vulnerability… somewhere.
Forces of daemons are gathering and have broken through the barriers of the Underworld. Now more than ever the Eternal Guardians are needed to protect both their own realm and the humans’. Zander can’t afford to think about what might have been with the bewitching physician he once regarded as his soul mate. But with eternity stretching before him, he also can’t fathom spending his life without the one woman who makes him feel most alive. Perhaps he’s found his weakness, after all…
Read an excerpt: HERE.
Upcoming Releases:
- TEMPTED, the highly anticipated release of Elisabeth’s third book in the ETERNAL GUARDIAN series, October, 2011.
- BODYGUARDS IN BED, an anthology of romantic suspense with a bodyguard theme, co-authors Lucy Monroe and Jamie Denton. May, 2011.
- ENRAPTURED, the forth book in the ETERNAL GUARDIAN series, April 2012.
Works In Progress:
- ENRAPTURED, the forth book in the ETERNAL GUARDIAN series, April 2012.

>New Year’s Giveaway: Day 9, Larissa Ione
>I know Larissa Ione because my critique partner, Elisabeth Naughton, badgered me until I finally agreed to email Larissa and ask her for a quote for my debut novel, FEVER.
I’m not shy, but neither am I an extrovert who can just talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. And I’m incredibly independent, so asking for some one’s help is tough for me. And, mind you, I wasn’t asking for something small. I was asking for a New York Times Bestseller to take time out of her prolific schedule to read my manuscript, create a quote she felt described my work and my writing, and attach her name to it. Her reputation.
Ack! The pressure!
When my editor expressed her excitement over the prospect of having Larissa’s quote, I finally worked up the guts to email her.
And…yes…I’m going to say this in public…my critique partner was right. She told me Larissa was totally sweet, completely unselfish and absolutely professional. And Larissa is all those things. But she’s also personable, down to earth, funny, easy to talk to and incredibly accommodating.
SIN UNDONE was the first book I’d read by Larissa. By about page 10 I knew I’d be reading the rest of her series. I love kick-ass heroines, and Larissa knows how to write them. Her plots are twisted and intricate and deep. Her love stories heart-rending. Her sex scenes sizzling hot.
What more could you ask for?
I am thrilled to include Larissa in my list of authors I am grateful for everyday! Whoever gets SIN UNDONE in the give-away is a true winner.
Up For Win Today:
SIN UNDONE, the fifth book in Larissa’s Paranormal Romance series Demonica.
(Or any other book in her Demonica series if you win and have already read SIN)

Book Summary:
As the only female Seminus demon ever born, master assassin Sinead Donnelly is used to being treated like an outcast. She spent decades enslaved, and now vows she’ll die before she’ll relinquish her freedom again. Then Sin’s innate ability to kill her enemies goes awry: She creates a lethal new werewolf virus that sparks a firestorm of panic and violence.
Half-werewolf, half-vampire Conall Dearghul is charged with bringing in Sin to face punishment for the plague. And she’s no stranger: He’s bound to her by blood, and the one sexual encounter they shared has left him hungering for her raw sensuality. Worse, Sin is the underworld’s most wanted and Con soon learns he’s the only one who can help her . . . and that saving her life might mean sacrificing his own.

Surprise Made My Day
>So my partner in crime at work, Joanna, came in today and said she brought a book to work.
WHAT? was my first reaction. You see, Joanna is uber superstitious, plus she was on-call tonight, which is like a double-whammy. She believes that if you bring in reading material (among other things) the department will be his with a shit-load of patients and we’ll be running our butts off all night, but that if you don’t, it will be slow. Kind of like Murphy’s law…kinda…sorta.
So she pulls my CP’s latest release from her bag! *I* hadn’t even gotten a copy yet!
She wouldn’t let me take her picture with the book, so we put it on one of our ultrasound machines and took a pic.
Elisabeth says, “Theron is really getting around. Now he’s in the hospital distracting the ultrasound techs.”
MARKED at UCSF! Squeeeee!
