Hi,

September always reminds me of going back to school, learning something new or honing a skill already present.  To that end I am offering a September Sizzler writing workshop to help put that fine point on the ubiquitous love scene .  Whether you are a romance writer wanting to make scenes more sensual, an erotic writer looking to turn up the heat, or a mama (or papa) from another genre seeking to bring a little sexual tension to the table, this course has something for you.  

Here’s the course syllabus:

It's the end of summer and young men and women's thoughts turn to those of love, scenes that is.  I am accepting students now for my love scene workshop and my suspense writing workshop.  The first five folks to sign up get special treatment.  Hope to see you in class.

..Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the bookstore--my first book Spellbound is being reprinted this month by Parker Publishing. Pay no attention to the wedding cake on the cover. It's not a story that ends in a wedding, but what happens when my heroine Ariel arrives on Martha's Vineyard to attend her cousin's wedding. Let's just say that I wanted the tagline on the book to be because every good bridesmaid deserves fun. LOL

It's a lighthearted romp around the island where I spent the summers of my misspent youth and where I started writing. It's the story that made me the debut Rising Star author at Romance in Color and the book that spawned the series that included Holding Out for a Hero, Lady in Red and the upcoming Forbidden Games.

If you've read this book and loved it, please share it with a friend (makes a great holiday gift). And don't forget to enter my new contest to win an autographed copy plus an iTunes gift card.
