Cover Reveal for THE CHEERLEADER!

💜💜💜💜💜💜

Hello !

There's nothing more romantic than our nostalgia about our own past love stories, right? How many of you have fond memories for that first kiss, that first heart-wrenching crush, or the first time you said I love you?

Note--I realize some of you may be young enough to be in the midst of creating these memories, but trust me, you'll look back on them fondly.

The Cheerleader, my work-in-progress, is unapologetically inspired by nostalgia for the romantic past of my college days in the 70s.

That's when I came of age and created some of my most fun--and my most poignant--memories.

Let me reiterate, I am most definitely not the heroine of this book--not even a side character--because the book is not about me, it takes place in a time and place I know, but it's about Suzie and Bryan, my fictional couple.

Writing their story takes me back, letting me indulge in that time and place, allowing me to dwell there for a while.

It's a kick to create a fictional story littered with scraps from the real events of my past, like a nostalgic road trip through some of my best memories.

Side Note-- I now totally get why people are into writing memoirs. Re-visiting our favorite formative experiences can be, well, dare I say it? Intoxicating.

What time and place would you go back to if you were indulging in your fondest nostalgic past?

It's finally here!

This week, we should have been at the beach to truly lean into the 90 degree weather.

But alas, at the moment, my hip won't allow me to walk in the sand.

This photo was taken last year. ➜➜➜

It's pretty hot (SIZZLING!) in a lot of places here in the U.S. and across the world, so what are you all doing to beat the heat?

Me? I'm staying inside in the air-conditioning and ready to erect a monument to whoever invented these life-saving cooling contraptions!

Stay cool and stay happy - watch out for the 🔥danger! (especially when reading a 🔥 romance!)

One of my favorite reviews!

a grumpy-sunshine single dad hockey rom-com

The Big Puck

"Loved the mix of a hockey romance and suspense. Almost stayed up all night reading the book, but fell asleep sitting up. Great characters and how they become “family” resulting in a great finish. Highly recommended. ”

--Christina Bowens, Amazon

Let me give a truly heartfelt thank you to all of you who write and post reviews for any of the books you read. It means a great deal to every author I know.

🔥🔥SIZZLING SNIPPET OF THE WEEK!🔥🔥

from HE HAS CHARM

Maddox

“Being blind isn’t a problem, sweetheart. I can smell and feel my way around you.” She giggles as I sit up in bed. 

But I really do want to see her, so I rip off my blindfold.

That’s when I realize that being blind actually was a problem. 

A big problem. Because now I can see that I’m faced with three lovely naked ladies. 

And one of them has a camera aimed directly at me. 

Me and my big D energy, larger than life and playing hard. 

Fuck.

***

Harper

“Don’t you think if I knew there was a camera running I’d have kept my clothes on?" He winks. "Or at least I wouldn’t have—”

“Never mind.” I put up a hand to stop him from going into detail about his exploits. “I’m sorry I asked. It hardly matters at this point.” I press my lips flat and I don’t know if I’m pissed or if I want to laugh hysterically. Neither would be professional, though in all fairness, it’s hard to behave professionally with the scintillating sex video of the most difficult client in our agency’s history stuck in my head. “Your team negotiated a trade and we’ve been charged by your new team’s management with keeping you under control. The Boston Brawlers don’t fool around.”

“How about you? Do you fool around?” the notorious charmer asks. I roll my eyes and bite my tongue because a tiny part of me, the neglected and lonely part south of my belly button, wants to scream yes! But I’m no fool. And this assignment means everything to my career.

“Don’t you even care that you’re being traded? You should read this agreement the Brawlers Management sent—”

“Honey, as far as I’m concerned, it’s a win for me. Boston is a hockey town and a helluva lot better than being stuck down here in NOLA where the ice barely freezes and the fans would rather see me wrestle an alligator—or three naked ladies, as it turns out—than score a goal.” He smiles, glances at the paper, then picks up the pen and dashes off his signature. It’s smooth and pretty—just like him. He slides the paper back and when I go to take it, my hand brushes his and he smiles.

“So tell me, sugar buns, what do you—?”

“Did you just call me sugar buns?” He has the good grace to look chagrined. I mentally swear at Godfrey Collins, my colleague at the agency for ditching out on this assignment and leaving it for me. I hope he catches herpes on his stupid un-cancellable cruise of the Mediterranean.

“To tell you the truth,” he says, crinkles branching from the corners of those unfairly beautiful eyes. “I don’t remember your name, so I’m improvising.”
