About Me

Southeast, Florida, United States
I've had a love affair with books since I was a little girl. Once I discovered that stories could take me to amazing worlds where heroes and heroines could tackle insurmountable odds and yet live happily ever after, I was hooked. My overactive imagination always questions "what if?" and I often daydream about scenarios for the next story. Living in South Florida is a dream I fulfilled. For many years now, the balmy breezes, palm trees and surf crashing upon the shoreline have satisfied my soul. They often show up as settings for my stories. I used to say that I'd try anything once, but that was before some suggested skydiving, mountain climbing and swimming with sharks. Nowadays, I prefer the comfort of my chair in front of my computer where the most dangerous thing I face is writer's block. I let my characters tackle the impossible challenges and all I have to do is make sure they have a happy ending. I welcome readers to explore the fantastic world of my imagination where anything is possible and most likely will happen. Look for my books and e-books at Ellora's Cave, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many other fine e-tailers

Feed Your Fantasy

Let’s face it. It’s very easy to get into a rut in life. Day in and day out, we go through the same routine. Before we know it, weeks, months and perhaps years have gone by. Yet, nothing has changed. It’s not that we wouldn’t like to do something different, it’s just that there are things that must be done to keep the household running, the kids going to school, and the bills paid. Whether we’re single, married or divorced, life can become monotonous and routine.  

Those who live together know that seeing the other person on a daily basis complicates the ability to excite their companion. The simple fact is they’ve seen us at our best and our worst. No surprises equals same old, same old.

Those who live alone, for whatever reason, may also experience a lack of excitement. Even going out to the bar scene or on a blind date doesn’t guarantee any luck in finding the thrill we seek. And if life has dealt one a blow, such as an illness or the loss of a spouse, it may seem impossible to ever feel again. 

So, where is that joy de vivre that used to make us look forward to greeting each new day? Where is the spark that gave us a tingly feeling when we thought about or got together with our special someone? How do we revive it so when we get together we can create some fireworks?  If we’re alone, are we doomed to never know that joy again?

Absolutely not! I’ve got good news…you can do it, but it’s going to take some work. Luckily, we were all born with an imagination and with that come fantasies. All we have to do is allow ourselves the luxury of giving into them. Fantasies add “spice” to a dull, boring, predictable life.

Sure, you say. That’s easier said than done. Perhaps you don’t think you can trust your imagination. Or perhaps you’ve been together doing it the same way for so long, you don’t know any other way. Have no fear -- erotica books are here! Yes, these books do more than tantalize; they can also teach. Read a few and see if there isn’t something in there that you haven’t tried. Then try it. There’s plenty of frank description in case you need to visualize it. You’ll surprise your partner and there’s a good possibility that it will turn him or her on and you’ll be getting pursued more often.

These days, you don’t have to be afraid of someone seeing you reading one of “those” books.      E-readers very conspicuously hide everything you’re reading, so unless someone is looking over your shoulder, you’re safe. You could buy one in the morning and by that night, have read it and made notes (if necessary) so you’re ready to experiment that evening. The book might have been so hot that you practiced a little beforehand. Who would know?

So why wait? Delve into your fantasy. It’s your imaginary world. Do what you want to do; be who you want to be. Perhaps you’ve wondered what it’s like to be a femme fatale, or a sexy woman in the red light district. How about a slave or cop working undercover? No matter what turns you on, you’re sure to find it in these stories.       

This is one of the reasons I write these books. My imagination goes into overdrive. Perhaps I haven’t done everything I write about in person, but there’s a good chance I have either seen it done in movies (x-rated, of course), or watched others do it. Do I get turned on while writing this stuff? You bet I do! If I don’t, I go back and rewrite that scene again until I do. I want my readers to “feel” as much of the story as they can. I know I’ve hit my mark when someone writes a review telling everyone how “hot” my book was.

For all those who love reading erotic romances, I’m happy to feed your fantasies.  Please visit my website or this blog for news on upcoming books. I appreciate the opportunity to satisfy your every desire. As always, I welcome your comments.
