We all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The important message about awareness and prevention gets through loud and clear every year, but for a change of pace, here’s a sexy reminder that recently had me paying VERY close attention, LOL! Make sure you watch all the way to the end credits. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsyE2rCW71o

My contemporary short story Romance By The Book is included in the Los Angeles Romance Authors anthology 5-Minute Love Stories! If your daily scheduled is always busy, these five-minute stories will let you fit a little love into your day.
The book 73 Ways To Fire Up (Or Just Fire) The Muse: How To Write Even When You Don't Wanna, or Think You Can't by Laurie Kienlen includes two of my best writing 'tips' for authors.

I was featured on NBC Nightly News in a story by reporter Chris Jansing on how the economy affects pop culture (TV, movies, etc) or offers a temporary escape from it (as in the case of romance novels). My "soundbite" ran only 8-seconds but they showed the cover of my book so I was thrilled. The piece also ran on MSNBC's Countdown With Keith Olbermann show, so it was double the exposure for me and romance novels!

I was part of the Independent Writers of Southern California's panel on erotic writing. Four authors -- including my fellow romance author Eden Bradley -- talked about their work, and offered advice to other writers interested in this hot (pun intended) publishing genre! While the temperature in Los Angeles broke an all-time record that day of 113-degrees, it wasn't much cooler inside during the IWOSC panel, LOL!

The author panel/book signing I did with NYTimes best-selling author Vicki Lewis Thompson, Berkley & Bantam author Eden Bradley, and Kensington author HelenKay Dimon at the Barnes and Noble in Burbank, CA, was a great success! I had the chance to hang with three wonderfully talented authors, and to rub them for a little good luck.
