I guess I can officially tell you all that I recently contracted a story I’ve co-written with one of my Scribes Unleashed authors – Taige Crenshaw- for Loose-Id to be released in February. Along with three other titles the stories will all feature marriage or getting married or wanting to get married in a significant way. Not sure what the others selected are about yet, but I can let you all take a peak at a synopsis for it.
Rosalind Fletcher the sole proprietress of a bakery called Forever I Do Wedding Cakes. Famous throughout the Low Country for her wondrous cakes she’s never in short supply of clients. Her creations are famous for being delicious, delectable, and producing some of the happiest marriages around. The men never stray, the women always keep their men happy and 99.7% have never faced each other on opposite ends of a court room.
But Rosalind hordes a family secret, her cakes are infused with a what’s called a Loving Spell an old Gullah recipe handed down from mother to daughter for almost a century.
Good luck turns bad when Ashley Benedict playboy and wedding planner extraordinaire client’s bail out of a cake tasting. Feeling bad about the no show, he helps Rosalind clean up afterwards. However gluttony kills the cat and Ashley plifers a slice of the enchanted cake.
Not one to take no for an answer, Ashley sets out to charm the pants off Rosalind. , while she frantically searches for an antidote. Both succeed, Ashley sooner than Rosalind –much to her dismay, since she finds herself slowly falling in love with a hunk with a knack for planning nuptials.
Will guilt pust Rosalind to finally find an antidote for Ashley or will she allow herself to at be locked into a loving relationship with the man of her dreams?
I just received my cover for The Merry Widow, a historical erotic novella which will be released Spring of 2009 through Red Sage Publishing.
I…Love…It!
In fact this is the first time I instantly loved a cover without it having to grow on me. Key aspects of the book are featured such as the exoticness of the heroine, her wearing of a merry widow (corset) to evoke the time period and her marital status. And the couch where the hero and heroine’s first love scene takes place.
Well, here it is…
So what do you think?
If you would like to read an excerpt of the book I have posted one on my author website.
Mark your calendars everyone! On Thursday, December 4 at 5:30 p.m. (est) my author group, Scribes Unleashed, is hosting a special live chat with cover model and Mr. Romance 2005 Andrei Claude! Despite what you may think about beautiful men, Andrei is just more than just a beautiful wrapper. He’s very thoughtful, intelligent (check out his blog Man on Romance) and very unassuming.
So, if any of you are interested in coming out and talking with us and Andrei, or just want to pick up a few free reads from our backlist just send me an email or if you’d like to follow what we’re all doing in this topsy turvy world of being an author join our author group and you’ll be given the special code to sign into the chat.
Hey gang I was recently interviewed by Romance Junkies and they posted it today! Here is a snippet of it:
Hi Koko, and welcome! I am so glad you could join us here atRomanceJunkies. To start, will you please tell us a little bit about your current projects?
First off I would like to say how happy I am to be doing this interview! It wasn’t too long ago that I was a reader coming to your sight trying to find reviews for books I was interested in buying. My current project is a recently released erotic interracial romance published through Loose-Id entitled FROZEN IN TIME. The story is about a young woman who yearns for more in life and unfortunately her wish comes true when she’s used as a pawn of revenge by the Norse god of mischief Loki who sends her back in time to steal a necklace from a Viking warlord. I also have a historical novella involving mistaken identities and a May/December romance coming out this winter from Red Sage. It’s entitled THE MERRY WIDOW.
Do you edit as you write, or finish the first draft and then begin editing?
I hate to say I edit as I write. I hate that I do this because I’ve found this slows me down in the initial writing phase because I found I tend to rewrite a passage or sentence over and over before I feel I have it right and finally move on.
