Cover For Mr. Hawtness!

Very excited to share the cover for my upcoming ebook, Mr. Hawtness!



Timing is everything… 

Business broker Megan Lassiter knows the axiom better than anyone. Her keen instinct for being at the right place, at the right time, has propelled her up the corporate ladder. When it comes to love and relationships though, she's usually got it all wrong.

An opportunity to visit her old college roommate and attend her friend's Derby party almost ends in disaster when she runs into the college ex from hell. Rescued by a sexy, mysterious man, she decides what she needs to break out of her bad relationship luck, is a fling with Mr. Hawtness.


When would she recognize what he already knew? 

The last time Jonathan Presten saw Megan, she was sobbing on the front steps of his parent's house, waiting for his sister. More than anything, he'd wanted to be the one she trusted to comfort her. 
 
Jon knew she was his one true love…except at the time, he was only seventeen. With a six year age difference, he was smart enough to know he didn't stand a chance with his older sister's hot best friend.  Now, twelve years later, she's back in town and Jon realizes his feelings haven't changed. But would his second chance get stopped before it started?

Coming soon...

Friday Finds: Always by Carol Rose

Always by Carol Rose
 
Elinor Prescott has come home at last...to Oakleigh, the gracious antebellum mansion that was home to generations of her Southern family. But the beautiful old house is in near-ruin and she can't afford to restore it. Elinor hopes to find a buyer who will cherish the home as she does. But she has one rule—she won't sell to handsome, self-made millionaire Cole Whittier.

Cole has the locals upset over his plans to build a factory nearby and Elinor's leading the opposition. He's got a fight on his hands to convince the stubborn beauty of the merits of his plans—and of everything else he discovers he wants to offer her.

It's up to Cole to persuade Elinor to see things from his perspective. The sexy industrialist is convinced that Elinor is well worth winning over.

The Quick and Dirty Genre Reference for Writers


I recently discovered how many beginners don't know what genre or subgenre they're even writing, and it's not their fault. Subgenres are at the mercy of marketing. Whether you've thought about self-publishing your first ebook, or plan to send your manuscript to agents and editors, lines are blurring and new subgenres emerging. You'll need to know what genres and subgenres best fit your story in order to position your book for the most exposure possible.

So it was very neat when I learned that one of my friends had published a quick reference guide and made it available on Amazon. And at .99¢, it's a bargain! 


The Quick & Dirty Genre Reference For Writers
compiled by Adrianna Dane

You've written the book or are planning to write one. Defining the genre can be a task in and of itself. Here's a quick reference of genres and subgenres that I put together for my own reference and have found it's been helpful for others, too. Hopefully it will help you determine some of the standard genres as well as some of those that are newly emerging. It's a starting point, not a definitive reference.

Friday Finds: It's Just Sext by Felice Fox

It's Just Sext by Felice Fox
The Right Kind of Wrong, Book One


Don't miss the next short stories in the series, Perfect Sext and Hotter Than Sext!

 

She swore it was 'just sext', and nothing more...

Lauren has been texting for months with a man she met online, carefully editing the details of her life, sending him only the best of herself—the hottest pictures, the highlights of her day, and her most hard core sexual fantasies. A merchant marine, he traveled the world, so it was safe enough. They would never actually meet, so why not? Her self-esteem could use a little boost.

Marc's "no talking, only texting" rule was strictly enforced when it came to the sexy thing he met online. She was his ultimate fantasy girl and he wanted to keep it that way. But when his ship is scheduled to dock in a port near her home, he lays it all on the line for the chance at a weekend of hot sex—and maybe something more.

When they finally meet, the heat that smoldered for months feels a lot like love. Forced to tease reality from fantasy, months of texting foreplay ignites into wildfire—something hotter, deeper and sweeter than they had ever imagined.

It's Just Sext by Felice Fox | short story | erotic romance

Available at the following ebook retailers:

Today is Rainier Cherry Day! Recipes & More.


July 1 is National Rainier Cherry Day! I love cherries, chock full of vitamin C, they're my favorite snack food in the summer. Courtesy of my sis and brother-in-law who have a wonderful little farm, I received an awesome surprise when I got home, a box of Rainier cherries shipped right to my door. OMG! These are so sweet and juicy and good, with just enough tartness to wake up your taste buds.

Rainier cherries are best for eating fresh or as an ingredient in ice cream, cakes, pies, pastries and tarts. Double the yum! and the fun by pairing Rainiers with apricots, plums, blueberries, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate and white chocolate, cream, or maple and try some cherry maple fudge—talk about a sugar rush.

For a more savory treat, try adding Rainier cherries with herbs like basil, and add arugula, or cilantro flowers. Nuts like hazelnut, pistachio make tasty snacks with this breed of cherry. You can even whip up olive oil and citrus zest with your Rainiers and spread over smoked fish, anchovies, pork, scallops for an incredible taste sensation.

I see a lot of baking and cooking with cherries in my future, and yours too, if you enjoy these recipes...from my kitchen to yours. Have fun!

Cherry Pit Spell Recipe

What, you thought all my recipes were edible? Goodness no, I saved the best for last! This is a fun sort of spell to try on a rainy day with all those pits left over from making your cobbler or pies. You can use either Rainier cherries or Bing cherries, as both will work for our purposes.

Collect cherry pits in a fire safe ceramic bowl and make a spot in the center for a small pillar candle, white is best. Note: The candle should be tall enough that the flame cannot heat the cherry pits or pop them. Stand or sit at least a good foot or two away, just in case. This should be done anytime when you feel like your life is in the pits (the universe loves a pun, trust me).

If you happen to do the spell during a waning moon cycle, so much the better! Sprinkle a little sea salt in a circle around you and the bowl. Now light the candle and invoke the Goddess.

Say something like: Mother of Nature and all that is giving, My life is in the pits, so I return these to you as seeds of potential, to rid my life of negativity and allow room for change positively. With harm to none, I release my gift into your care. Blessed be!

Now snuff the candle, clean up the sea salt, and bury the cherry pits in your backyard. Unless you live in the eastern part of Washington state, you should be okay and not have concern this spell will grow a cherry tree, lol. But what it will do is take away the negativity and undue worry of a situation and make room for you to change your perspective on life for the better. Sometimes we simple get cluttered with unnecessary pits and need to realize we do have the power within ourselves to make things better.

May everyone reading this be blessed with love and light.
