Spinning Around in Giant Teacups and a Free Book

Congratulations to kat wardyla! She won a signed copy  of Love and Devotion!

Sometime back in late November, or maybe it was early December, I received a box full of Love and Devotion.

And then I promptly forgot all about it. Not that I wasn’t excited. I LOVE getting those boxes. They make me feel valid. And special. Like I’m a real honest-to-gosh author. But that time of year is freaking nutso busy. The holidays are HAPPENING and I have a house full of overly enthusiastic children. And, not for nothing, but that is the hardest time of year for me emotionally. It starts in late November (sometimes earlier) and extends into January.

So, as I was saying, I got this box and I gave away a copy during the Hootenanny, but didn’t really do anything else with it. Now it’s past time to remedy that.

Solution? Obviously I’m going to give away a copy here at Women and Words! Enter a comment below and I’ll pick a winner on Friday 1/24. So, yeah. Enter. Or something.

What else is going on in the World of Jove at current? Let’s see…

I released a collection of erotic novellas called Uncommon Romance this month.  Here’s the book blurb:

Happily ever after doesn’t look the same for every couple.

In Raw Silk, happily married June and Ashlyn Phillips occasionally enjoy adding another dynamic to their sex life. When Katerina “Kat” VanderVort enters June’s office one day, she sets her sights on June. Lucky for her, Ashlyn loves to indulge her wife’s fantasies.

In On Her Knees, Simone Davies is finally happy. That is, until her chief tormentor and biggest crush, Abby Nelson, shows up at her firm’s holiday party. Together they struggle to forget the past and build a future together.

In Hollis, homicide detective Jude Lassiter pushes a little too hard, and her instructor at a FBI anti-terrorism training session, Special Agent Beverly Hollis, knows exactly how to punish her. Jude is all too willing to submit.

This morning when I logged onto facebook, I found out that C-Spot Reviews posted a review of Uncommon Romance. And it’s flattering. I’m all kinds of stoked about that because it’s my first review on C-Spot. So, yeah. Check it out HERE if you want to give it a little peek.

What else? I have a couple of cool events coming up in February and I’m dying to tell y’all about it. So I’m going to.

First, The Liz McMullen Show is doing a Valentine’s Day special, similar to the one she did for Halloween. The point, if I understand it properly, is that a bunch of authors, me included (yes, I’m flattered by that) are doing readings that fit a romantic theme, however loosely. I wrote a short story called Hearts and Roses specially for this event. After Liz posts her special, I’ll also make Hearts and Roses available on my website. Did you know I have a section of FREE short stories? I totally do. You can check that out HERE if you’re interested.

In a couple of hours, I’ll be hooking up with Liz via skype to do the reading. Wish me luck.

Second, on February 15, I’ll be joining the fabulous Andi Marquette over at the Virtual Living Room. The Virtual Living Room, or VLR, is a yahoo based discussion group. We’re going to discuss…things. The subject matter is still being decided upon, so if you have questions for us, or topics you’d like us to hit on, feel free to pop that into a comment here. 🙂

I don’t know how many of y’all have seen the cover for my next release, The Job, but I think it’s the sexiest thing ever. So I’m going to share it again. Here.

There’s a thing going on over on facebook where, if you’re tagged, you have to share a couple of paragraphs from your current work in progress. Since I’m working on edits for The Job, I posted an excerpt from that. And then I added it to my website, just for good measure. Want to read it? You can totally do that HERE. Have you read the blurb? You can do that HERE.

I think that’s it for now, folks. I hope you enter the drawing to win a copy of Love and Devotion because I really want to give away a copy. And I really want you to read it. And like it. That last part is really important.

Until next time, happy reading!
