Stories have a power, a magic all their own. Consider the fact that the actions, thoughts and feelings of people who have no existence in reality can make you laugh, make you weep. That's the art and that's the magic.
If you're under eighteen...You're too young. Sorry, but there it is. Go somewhere else and enjoy yourself, OK? By reading on, you are signifying that you are over 18 years of age. |

THE "I'm Home, Honey!" CONTEST!
I've just returned from seven weeks away, including RWA Nationals in San Francisco. A fourteen hour flight there and back, but oh so worth it. I had a fabulous time!
Now I'm back into the daily grind (uh, rhythm, I mean), I'm having a contest to celebrate - though I'm not sure that's quite the right word. ;-)
I've got TWO of the most gorgeous enamels to give away - and what's more, they're absolutely perfect for readers and/or writers. Perfect, I tell you! I danced a fandango when I first saw them.

All you have to do is leave a comment on my Nifty Names blog post. You'll find all the details there and larger pictures too.
And if you're curious about what we did in Alaska and British Columbia and California, by all means scroll down. There are plenty of photos. Leave a comment. I always answer. The Alaskan king crabs are especially fetching, as is the elephant seal and Hearst Castle and the sled dogs. Not to mention the dried geckos on a stick...

TAILSPIN WON - IT WON, IT WON!! TWICE!
*Ahem*
TAILSPIN won the Futuristic/Fantasy/SciFI category of the Passionate Plume Awards for erotic authors. Isn't that wonderful? I'm S-T-O-K-E-D! *grin* And the best bit? I was there at the PI cocktail party at RWA Nationals in San Francisco. I got to dance right on up in my killer heels to grab that award.
You can read the whole story and see the pictures (the award is cute and don't forget the shoes) on my blog post. The winner's logo appears on the left here. Love it to pieces. Yay!

TAILSPIN is also Book Cover of the Month for July over at Erin Aislinn's. All due to Syneca, Goddess of Ellora's Cave covers. Her talent is amazing and I'm so grateful for it.

Another fabulous review for STRONGMAN. A Recommended Read from Fallen Angels!
"...a book about inner demons and how they play havoc on our happiness...about love and the strength it gives us to claim what is rightfully ours. A well written and extremely entertaining story."
I loved writing STRONGMAN, but I absolutely, flat-out adored creating an epilogue for it. It was…um…very satisfying. :-) If you want to see Griff turn the tables on Fort and gain his heart's desire, this is your chance! For free! Here's a tiny taste...

Some are drawn to the light. Some are drawn to the dark. Some desire both.
A sorcerer of shadows - a man whose soul is consumed by darkness...
A fire witch whose heart is ash...

What's the latest?
Why call my blog Under and Over?
Well, you see, when I came to think about it, I realised that while I’m Down Under, most of my readers and my writing friends are Over There.
I thought it was clever. And of course, there are all manner of sexy connotations if you put your mind to it…
