And if you rub this man's magic bald head you could win a paperback copy!

Hello !

Today I will be brief since this weekend I'm in a 4-day conference with 750 other romance authors. It's all online but the host is in Texas which means it's on TX time—I had to be at my lap at 6am on Friday, this morning and tomorrow. Fortunately I can keep my camera off!

After just two days, my brain has overheated and new ideas are staining the shoulders of my hoodie as they drip from my ears. No seriously, I feel like my brain is melting. And my body? Oh dear, my butt has attached itself to my chair like a mollusk. I'm stuck since there are virtually no breaks between sessions. But I am happy, if not just a little manic.

The Romance Lover's Journal

Look what I published this week with my co-author, writing wife, alter-ego Donna Barker!

It's an actual book you hold in your hands and write in. This is the full title:

The Romance Lover's Journal: Reading log & happily ever after memory booster

The only reading journal that caters to the reader who devours happily ever afters faster than a shotgun wedding gets planned.

The Romance Lover’s Journal is specifically designed to help you track the details to trigger your memory about which hero, of the hundreds of book boyfriends you’ve spent your nights with, had sleep paralysis that led to uproarious sexy times ... and which quirky heroine's witty banter made you snort laugh ... and which amazing grand gesture made you ugly cry.

With a Table of Contents you can personalize to search the books you've read by sub-genres, tropes, character names or whatever brings you joy, The Romance Lover’s Journal will change your life. Or at least, prevent those scowl wrinkles you get when you’re trying to remember the name of a book (boyfriend) that’s escaped you.

I haven't held a copy in my hands yet but Amazon assures me I will have it in my hot little hands on Monday. I want to proof it before I promote it too much since I have to make sure everything looks exactly right. So if this is something you think you'd be interested in, hang on until next week to buy it.

In the meantime, you can enter to win a free paperback copy of The Romance Lover's Journal from Goodreads!

Feed you kindle some new love

Dusty, tattoed but oh-so-hot biker Brody wasn’t exactly the Prince Charming rescuer ballerina Cara imagined, but stranded on a deserted road in the blistering heat, a ballerina can’t be picky.

Brody doesn’t let women on his bike, let alone into his life, but can’t ignore a damsel in distress and besides, petite Cara isn’t his type – though his body is telling him otherwise.

They both live their lives on the road, in different worlds, but fate and torrential rain conspire to bring them together for one erotic night – but will one be enough?

Get The Biker and the Ballerina FREE today!

I try to pick group promotions that have a wide variety of genres in them so that everyone will find something that looks interesting. I stopped participating in these for a few months since I was seeing the same books over and over but there are loads of new titles now. Have a peak!

No time for jibber jabber this week - but the good news is that leaves you more time to check out all the free books in the promos above.

I'll be back next week with something more interesting to share. As I'm typing (at 10:30 PM on Friday night) Darling Husband is snoring so loudly even the dogs have deserted him. I think we'll be sleeping on my office couch tonight—otherwise I won't be sleeping at all. #OldCoupleChallenges!

love & lordhelpmesleepstuff,
