Release Date: 6th November 09

BLURB:

Going Down Under

Seductive scents…torrid suspense…

For Australian scientist Kyla Harris, danger is not her middle name, but when she invents a cologne that acts as an aphrodisiac, she becomes embroiled in a CIA case. Sexy American agent Logan Matthews is assigned as her bodyguard when someone tries to steal her sensual formula. Kyla finally has the edge in the war of the sexes and Logan Matthews is her target. A little fun in bed…on the desk…in the Aussie bush—what better way to test her cologne?

It’s just a shame Logan’s only reacting because of the formula…or is he?




Alexis Fleming
Daring desires…otherworldly seductions.

I live in a small coastal town. We don't even have a bookstore here, just a news agency that carries a few books. Although I know my books are available now in some stores in Australia, I don't actually get to see them on the shelves. So it was quite a buzz when I visited my daughter to walk into a big book store and see Heart & Craft on the shelves. My daughter, author Kelly Ethan, who just happened to write the chapter on Fantasy and World Building in Heart & Craft while mama wrote the chapter on Erotic Romance, suggested we take a photo. Hey, I was as buzzed as she was. I was all for it.

Sequel to Outback Sizzle.

 

A sexy cowboy and a lady cop with a handcuff fetish…

 When Jason Lawrence purchases a potty-mouth parrot as a gag wedding gift for his best mate, the last thing he expects is to be arrested by sexy policewoman Merindah Byrnes in a case of mistaken identity. Nor does he count on being handcuffed and ravaged by the same policewoman, but how could he resist when she puts on a strip show just for him?

 Throw in a parrot that gives great advice on sex and it’s not long before the tension between them explodes into meltdown heat.....


Publishers Note: Previously published elsewhere, Outback Meltdown has been edited and revised for Ellora’s Cave. While Outback Meltdown is a stand-alone, we do recommend reading the books in order for greatest enjoyment

Heart & Craft
ISBN: 9781741757217
Format: Paperback
Publisher:  ALLEN & UNWIN
Release Date: 1st July 2009



July 1st marks the release of a book called Heart & Craft, published by Allen & Unwin in Australia. The publisher has tagged it as the  ultimate ‘how-to’ book on romance writing, written by ten Australian and New Zealand romance writers and edited by the undisputed Queen of Romance Fiction in Australia, Valerie Parv.

I was thrilled to pieces to be asked to write the chapter on Erotic Romance. This was a little different for me. It’s my first non-fiction book and the first I’ve contracted to go straight to print.

To celebrate the release of Heart & Craft, the authors involved in the book are running a Scavenger Hunt. And have we got some fantastic prizes. Check it out!

9 Carat Gold Genuine Natural Diamond & Sapphire Heart Pendant
Pearl, crystal and silver hearts charm bracelet
Two silver heart charm bracelets
Gold heart drop necklace
3 pairs of heart-shaped cubic zirconia stud earrings

Here’s a photo of the first prize—a diamond and sapphire pendant—to whet your appetite.



That’s eight prizes to give away. Check out my Contest page on my website to see how you can be in the running for one of these fab prizes.

The Heart & Craft Scavenger Hunt begins 1st July and will close 30th July. The winners will be announced early August.

Thursday, April 30, 2009 

Okay, I’m finally back from the Romantic Times Convention at Orlando, Florida. The convention was held at the Wyndham Orlando Resort and the only thing I complained about with the whole venue was the internet access. It was almost impossible to use it. Slow and I do mean slow, as in I’d click on something and then go have a shower and get dressed and maybe by then the document had opened up. And that was when I could actually log on to the wretched thing. As a result I couldn’t blog about the conference as I’d planned. So now I’m going to try to do a catch up.


What with jetlag and flying from Australia, I always try to go a few days early so I can rest before the conference starts. After a very tiring flight full of lots of little kids (need I say more?) I finally arrived at the resort. It was close to a quarter to one in the morning by the time I got to my room. My body clock was out of whack with the time changes and I just couldn’t get to sleep. So I ordered breakfast at 6am and then went back to bed. By then I was pretty well wiped out as I don’t sleep on the plane. Thankfully I crashed and it wasn’t until lunchtime that I got to check out the resort. It’s lots of plantation style two-story buildings set in 46 acres, with numerous pools and lagoons to break up the grounds. The landscaping is beautiful with tropical plants that I recognize from living in the more tropic Queensland here in Australia, so I felt right at home.



My roommate, Bobbie Cole aka Lyn Cash aka Cash Cole, arrived the next day and we talked ourselves silly until the wee small hours. Why do we do this every conference? Lol We end up so sleep deprived but we only get to see each other once a year so we feel we have to make the most of it. Monday and Tuesday we hit the shops. My favourite pastime. I got presents for everyone at home and went crazy on my little grandson. Sorry, kids, the grandson scoops the pool with presents, but hey, isn’t that what being a grandmother is all about? Spoiling the grandchildren?


Tuesday night was the Ellora’s Cave author party and boy, does this publisher turn it on for their authors. I had a great time. They ended the party with photo opportunities with the Ellora’s Cave male models. *drool, drool* And yes, I did get a photo with the boys but you’ll have to wait for that one. The photographer still has to send them to all the authors. They also took author shots and I’m really looking forward to seeing how those turned out.




Wednesday we jumped right into the whole convention thing, with back to back meetings and greetings. Also attended the ebook fair and then onto the Ellora’s Cave Jungle party that night. Thursday was just as busy. Meeting up with old friends and making new ones.  Sasha White’s greeting left an indelible mark. Lol



Thursday night was the fairy ball. I didn’t dress in costume for this one, although I planned to. Unfortunately I didn’t get my costume finished before I left, so just wore black and silver with my fairy wings and a dash of silver face jewelry to liven up the picture.



They had this delightful pool bar called Gatorville and I was charmed with my dining companions.



Lyn Cash and I headed there for lunch and these little guys decided to join us.



There I am, the squirrel on one side and the ducks on the other, feeding them French fries. Who knew squirrels ate French fries?


Of course, then there was the vampire ball.  No vampire ball is worth its name without a vampire or two, although I met this pretty guy the next day. One of the authors had a blood drive as part of the promo for her book.



Saturday was the print book signing. I got to sit next to Angie Fox. What a delightful person, as well as a great author. And I can’t believe that that was almost the end of the convention. Most people went home on the Sunday but Lyn and I stayed until Monday. It gave us time to share and unwind a bit before hopping those planes for home. A very long flight to get back to Australia but it was worth every bit of the jetlag to attend RT. Now I have to wait an entire twelve months before I can go again. *sigh* But I have some great memories to sustain me until then.


And last, a few more photos for you.


A hug from cover model CJ



Lyn Cash and her own vampire



Ripley’s Believe It or Not building, right next door to the resort



I promise, I did do some work. Well, a little… Okay, this is me trying to get onto the internet. lol

Ring of Seduction by Lyn Cash & Alexis Fleming

BLURB:

Mellika’s lusted after Zeb for some time now, mostly because of his
exotic good looks. So when he pauses to admire her peridot ring at an
Arabian Nights-themed party, she can’t wait to find out what’s under
his genie costume. She’s about to get more than she bargained for,
though—Zeb is an actual djinni. As in the magic-making kind.

Luckily for Mellika, her ring isn’t the only thing holding Zeb’s
interest. The peridot may give them a special connection, but true
passion can’t be conjured by magic. Zeb is about to make all her wishes
come true, and then she’ll be a believer for good.
