New Contract!

Hey everyone,

Sometimes our displaced babies wind up in nice new homes. It happened recently with one of my Venus Press stories. Four of us that wrote for the same line got together, rewrote our stories and made an anthology based on the Greek Gods. It's called Sons of Zeus and a British publisher, Total Ebound, picked it up for both ebook and print. Release date will be September 2008!

My story was originally called Show Me the Bling and was nominated for a CAPA award. I retitled it Oh My God. Here's the blurb:

What happens when a Greek God has amnesia--especially Dionysus, the biggest bad boy of Mount Olympus?

The Greek God of wine, women, and party, falls off a balcony and lands on his head during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Now he has amnesia and has to rely on witnesses to tell him about his life. All he knows is that they call him ‘Big D,’ and he’s a party animal who drinks too much and ought to give up alcohol for Lent.
Mandy and Brandy flashed Dionysus right before he fell and feel partially responsible for his amnesia. They’re nice enough to take him to an AA meeting, and then back to their homes until he recovers his memory. Fortunately, they’re not too nice to be naughty. They all agree that replacing a bad habit with a healthy one is the key to sobriety, and what could be healthier than sex? Will he come between friends before they know who he is? Will Zeus separate all of them, forever?

Ash

This just in!

And this just in! My first review for Quivering Thighs (sequel to Heaving Bosoms)

"This sequel to Heaving Bosoms stands alone, but I guess it would be even more fun if you read the earlier book. Kendra's doberman Brando is a worthy addition. The author gives us a great cast of supporting characters...And there's some real nail-biting tension, along with a laugh or two. Kendra's Vegas past and spelling problems are truly unique, making this an enjoyable read."

It's about time

Some of you know this and some may not, but I've been recovering after major surgery for the last several weeks. I still have a while to go, but I'm getting there.

Being on bedrest (alone) can drive a person stir crazy. Fortunately, I discovered audiobooks. My wonderful husband also set me up with voice software so I could stay in touch via email, at least marginally. I even wrote two chapter with it. Of course, because it was still in training, I had to go back and edit quite a bit.

Speaking of editing, I edited two books using the voice software and they're off for the final line edits! YAY! So, you'll have two more of my crazy books coming at you soon. Will let you know when I get release dates.

One is Quivering Thighs, sequel to Heaving Bosoms.
The other is Death by Delilah -- a fun ghost story.

Ash *back to bedrest.
