I really can’t believe it’s 2011 already! I’m not one for resolutions, but one of my goals for this year is to blog more. With all the new social media outlets, I don’t blog as much as I used to…but I’m going to try to be better! (I promise!)

In the meantime, I’ve updated the website with info about my next release, Acapulco Heat in the BODYGUARDS IN BED Anthology, due out May 31, 2011. Click the link to read the back cover blurb and check out an excerpt of my novella. I’m also *almost* done uploading info about … Read more »
