I've been killing some time lately---just like I said I wouldn't---with MySpace. My site has undergone some schizophrenic renovations lately, from the Corinthians love quote to paintings to pink wallpaper. I've settled (for now) on a blue and white pattern, and decided to jazz it up with a slide show. Some of my artistic inspirations for my heroines and settings are hereby presented for your perusal. Enjoy! And have a safe, fun Labor Day weekend!

Sign Me Up
It's been a wild week. I am thrilled to announce that Laura Bradford of the Bradford Literary Agency has offered to represent me and Paradise! According to Publishers Marketplace, she's ranked #2 on their list of top dealmakers in romance fiction. Even after I babbled like a complete, consummate, crazed idiot on the phone for forty-five minutes, she didn't change her mind. I'll be doing some tweaking to get it ready. Cross your fingers, toes and eyes.
In other news, I made it through the first revisions of Mistress by Midnight. I also entered it into another contest. I'm 1/3 of the way through Mistress by Mistake, too. (That's 32,600 words in two weeks.) And I've worked on the premise for the 'Courtesan Court' trilogy.I've actually plotted! Not a lot, but still. *g* I'd have to say the summer was pretty good writing-wise, even if it rained a lot. The weather kept me indoors hunched over a hot keyboard. ;)
But one of the best things to happen this past week was to talk on the phone to one of my Vauxhall Vixens critique partners, Elyssa Papa. She and Tiffany Kenzie and J.K. Coi have been so super supportive! (and they put up with my alliteration too) I don't know what I'd do without them. They even sent me a basket with wine and goodies to celebrate. I told them I'd try to save the wine for when we finally all get together, but I can't make any promises, LOL. And one bottle won't be enough anyway. Vixen kisses and hugs all around.
Congratulations to Courtney Milan, who also had a great week. Her first book Proof of Surrender will be published by HQN in the fall of 2009!

Back in the Saddle Again
He looked up at her, suspicious. She gave him a look he’d seen only in battle, when the other side was hopelessly outnumbered, pushed beyond recklessness and there was nothing left to lose. He hoped very much that she was not sleeping with a French bayonet beneath the mattress.
“You! You!” she sputtered.
“Yes, my pet, it is I. I know I gave you no notice, but thank you for your very warm welcome last night. It was worth every minute of the harrowing six weeks we spent apart.” He set back to massaging her nipple again with his tongue.
Was this some sort of fantasy? Perhaps she liked her loveplay rough. To be the reluctant virgin, he the barbarian conqueror. His ex-mistress Angelique had liked to play highwayman and victim, as he recalled. He was the victim, and a most willing one. He stood, and he delivered.
“I shall call you anything you like, sweet, but please don’t strike me again. It’s not a bit sporting when I don’t know the rules of your game. But I’m willing to learn.”
“This is not a game, you stupid man! Oh, I do beg your pardon! But you are under a severe misapprehension, sir.”
She was scrambling under him quite provocatively. Her skin was on fire for him, blushing most delightfully. And here he had thought La Fallon cool and a little calculating.
“Hush, my dove.” His lips captured hers and she squeaked. Soon he would make her sigh again. See, she was softening already. Her lips opened and he swept into the warmth. His tongue tangled with hers in a dance as old as time. He was fisting his cock to slide between her smooth thighs when she bit him.
