I’m pleased to share with you
my latest release, Love Request. This
one is special to me because it’s not only the first romance I penned, but it
features a “hearing-impaired” heroine, like myself.
I say “hearing –impaired”
because really, there’s nothing wrong with Ciara. She’s not damaged or in need
of repair. She just can’t hear as well as others.
As a reader, I grew tired of
all the women in romance novels being perfect. In real life, many of us have
disabilities—and they are disabilities others can’t see. And worse, they are
disabilities others can’t understand, and a lot of times what people don’t
understand becomes something they fear…and belittle.
This is where the bullying
comes in. You see, this is more than just a romance novel. Open its pages, hit
that Kindle “next page” button, and find out for yourself. Learn. Be
enlightened. Relate.
Want to sample it first? No
problem. Available on Kindle and FREE for the next five days, is a humorous
Valentine short story, Mating Instinct.
You’ll find the first chapter
of Love Request at the end.
Thank you, readers, for
celebrating this special time with me. Happy Valentine’s Day! In honor of you,
I’m giving away a print copy of Love Request, a plush dog, a lipstick for that
special date, and 5 pheromone-soaked chocolate incense sticks! WARNING: Be
careful if dogs are in the vicinity.
Blurb:
When
Ciara Littleton finally joins Facebook to socialize without the limits her
hearing impairment gives her, she looks up a childhood friend on a whim. In
sending him that first message, she ignites the memories of a crush from twenty
years ago. Can a simple friend request fix all that stands between them and
maybe even lead to something more?
Hunter's plate is full. A recent divorce, a
pregnant sister, and now, he realizes he's in love with a woman who lives
states away. Can he overcome the boundaries of Internet romance to make this
desire turn into something real, or will adversity and distance be their
undoing?
This book was formerly titled A Facebook Affair and has been revised
with a new ending.
Love Request has
been named a LASR Best Book and is now up for vote on Best Book of 2012 Poll.
You can cast a vote here.
I’m so excited and so grateful!
Blurb for Mating
Instinct:
This
is exactly what you need!
It’s Valentine’s Day and when
Ariel receives a package of incense in the mail from her Pagan friend and mentor,
she isn’t sure what to make of the enclosed note. Sure, she has some issues,
but who doesn’t?
When the smoke releases its
magic, Ariel gets an evening of surprise humor and romance, and it is indeed
exactly what she needs.
