Hello and thanks for dropping by! This is the launch week
for Spicin’ It Up and I’m really excited to be part of this Spicy Authors’
group.
I will be your Tuesday Girl – Oh, I love the sound of that.
I would love to have guests, giveaways and interviews, so if you’re game, fill
in our form.
So this first blog is all about me… yikes! I find it much
easier escaping into imaginary worlds than talking about the real one. I
asked my man since high school, what shall I talk about? He said, ‘Why not talk
about me?’
And since he is my biggest inspiration to write naughty
romance, maybe I will (a little). Last year I was finishing a novel of mine
which had some bedroom scenes included. I daren’t read them at my writing group
so I tried them out on my man. He thought they were fine, great in fact, but
how could I know he was being objective? With his encouragement and to make
sure I could write sex well, I submitted a short story to an Xcite anthology.
Imagine my delight when a couple of months later, I got a contract through. When
I saw my story in print, I was hooked! I still finished that novel but I realized,
while the lovin’ was good, the rest of it was a little dull. I decided to stick
to the steamy romance. After some more short stories came my paranormal novella, Mia’s Books, which Beachwalk Press published
in July. I am so delighted to be part of the romance community. Everyone
is so helpful, friendly and enthusiastic. And the gals on this blog are no
exception!
So what about my man? The one who listens endlessly to
chapters and drafts of my stories and books without complaint? Well, tomorrow
we celebrate our anniversary and to tie in with this new blog, we’re Spicin’ It
Up old school with a curry in town.
As a thank you for joining me on my first spot, I have a
copy of Mia’s Books to give away – simply leave a comment and I’ll pick a name
out of a hat – or a stocking! PS. adults only ;) by commenting, you agree to
this.
