Today I was over the moon to read my name in USA today magazine! And even more excited to be called a sexier veteran writer! Click on the link to read the article in full.
The article is an interesting observation on whether readers are ready to move away from the erotica which has dominated the romance market over the past couple of years to a sweeter romance with closed door sex.
Are readers tastes shifting back to the relationship and the sexual tension, rather then the graphic description of the deed?
I thoroughly enjoyed writing my sweet romance which is coming out with Entangled Publishing in November. Focusing on relationships and the development of sexual conflict and tension adds a reality level to the story for me.
There have been some fabulous sweet romances published in the Bliss Imprint over the past few months. Come on over and have a browse. http://www.entangledpublishing.com/category/bliss/
So let's get the discussion rolling. Do you like to read sweet or sexy or both? Does it depend on your mood? Does it depend on the author? What does it for you?

Vale Michelle...support Breast Cancer Research
- This morning my cousin, Michelle, became one of the 2700 Australians who will lose their lives to breast cancer in 2013. She lost her nine year battle the day after her forty second birthday and Mother's day, leaving behind a devastated family including a loving husband and two children, her parents and sister.
- Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in Australian women, accounting for 15.5 per cent of all cancer deaths in women. It is estimated that 14,940 women in Australia alone will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 or approximately 40 each day. Over 800 are expected to be less than 40 years old. One in eight Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 85.
In her memory, I will be donating all pre-order royalties from
Italian Affair to Breast Cancer research.
You can also donate online at the Breast Cancer Council in Australia

Bachelor’s Special by Christine Warner
Jill Adgate
wants three things from life: a successful catering business, a family, and the
love of an exceptional man. What she has is no job, a mounting pile of bills,
and her outspoken best friend—who sets her up on a blind date with the man who
inadvertently ruined Jill’s life.
Chet Castle is
a businessman who has everything, except the ability to trust. Burned by a
money-hungry fiancée, he refuses to get involved in any relationship that has a
shelf life longer than a head of lettuce.
Intrigued by
her ambition—and determined to get her in bed—Chet offers Jill the chance of a
lifetime: work as his live-in chef and he’ll help her get her catering business
off the ground. When sparks fly in the kitchen, Jill realizes what’s cooking is
a recipe for disaster…
