August 2010
Happy August everyone!
Hot enough for you? Shew. It’s been like a sauna in Ohio, but I prefer the heat over the cold any day! Hope you and yours are comfortable and having fun.
My T-shirt project is well underway! In case you haven’t heard of it yet, readers from around the country - and outside the country - emailed me their T-shirt sizes and addresses, and I sent them a T-shirt. In return, they've been sending me photos of them wearing the shirts.
You can see the photos I've gotten so far on my FACEBOOK Fan Page under the album, "T-Shirt Project."
So far I have loved all the photos!
More are coming in every day. From around the world I have (so far) South Korea and the UK, but folks in Australia, Malaysia and Russia are getting their T-shirt pictures, too. I'll add them as soon as I get them.
Folks who already have a shirt from me - feel free to zip me off a photo! Send it to me at and I'll get you added to the album right away. After I get every state represented, I'll do a special drawing of all involved for early copies of my newest series (not out until 2011 – more on that below).
If you don't have a T-shirt but want to take part, email me with your address and the size you'd need, and for as long as I have T-shirts left, I'm happy to send them out. But when they're gone, they're gone, so don't wait!
(Sorry, but you can't choose which shirt you want, because I don't have all sizes in all styles.)
NEW SINGLE TITLES
Many of you have emailed to ask me when I'll have a new single title available. Here's the quickie explanation! I signed new contracts with HQN, and they wanted me to have 3 single title releases, back to back, in May, June and July 2011 – so I'm hard at work writing those books. To have them out together, I have to get them all done in the timeframe normally reserved to write one book... which means there'll be a gap. Sorry about that! But I'm hopeful that the wait will be worthwhile and that you’ll enjoy the stories.
I recently finished the second book, and will soon be hard at work on the third.
Tentative titles are, When You Dare, with Dare Macintosh, Trace of Fever, with Trace Rivers, and Savor the Danger, with Jackson Savor. The backdrop is that the heroes are private mercenaries and so far, I’m having a blast with the stories!
For those of you who ask... yes, I'm done with the fighters – for now. I never say never, and if a really compelling story comes to me, I'll write another, I promise.

RECENT BOOK RELEASES
THE WATSON BROTHERS – 3 novells reissued together.
My House, My Rules
Tough, rugged cop Sam Watson has a reputation for being a hero on the job and delivering mind-blowing pleasure in the bedroom. But the only woman who drives him over the edge is the one who's completely wrong for him - the sweetly sexy and extremely determined Ariel. When Ariel's headstrong ways nearly wreck one of Sam's string operations - ruining her alluring dress in the process - Sam offers her a ride to his place to clean up. But once there, Ariel seems to have her own agenda, and Sam decides it's time to show the lady that if she wants to play games of seduction, he'll be calling the shots, turning her every fantasy into a night of unimagined bliss
Bringing Up Baby
Gil Watson has always been the responsible one, running the family business and keeping his brothers out of trouble. Of course there was that one wild night on a business trip... the one that resulted in a daughter he never knew he had. By the time Gil finds out about her, the little girl's mother is already gone. Gil is determined to do the right thing, even if it means a marriage of convenience with the woman who's been raising his baby. Anabel Truman is sarcastic, free-spirited, and totally wrong for him. But the sensations she rouses in him feel totally right - stirrings that have nothing to do with being good and everything to do with being very, very naughty. Once Gil gets unbuttoned, there's no going back.
Good With His Hands
As next-door neighbors and best friends, Pete Watson and Cassidy McClannahan have a "no sex" relationship. "No sex" equals continuing friendship. "Ohmygodyes" sex equals big problems and probably some serious dish throwing. It may be a rigid rule, but it works. Until Pete decides he wants to push the line. If sensible Cassidy won't take his hints, he's ready to transform himself into the perfect "black tie" guy he thinks she wants. And once she's in his arms, he'll show her just what else that black tie can do...

Please remember – I'm trying to get my Facebook friends to join my Facebook fan page. I'm told that after 5000 people join my personal page, it'll shut down – and we don't want that! The fan page now has over 2100 friends! The regular profile has over 4000 friends already, so anyone who tries to sign up for that will be redirected, via facebook email, to my Fan pages.
Fan pages can accommodate a lot more people, and I’ll able to do a lot of giveaways to readers! There's a link for the fan page on my regular Facebook page, right below my profile picture. Or just use this link.
