What A Morning!!

I’m sure you’ve all had mornings where you shake your head and wonder just what you’ve gotten yourself into. That’s how my mornings have played out for the last few days. Most of you know when I’m not writing I run a motel. Let me tell you, being in the hospitality industry is not all beer and skittles. Sometimes it’s a pain in the butt, dealing with all the differing characters who come through this place.

Kickass Heroines

I’m probably a bit older than a lot of you out there. Lol In fact I know I am. I grew up watching the women from my mother’s era. How they interacted with the men in their lives. When my dad said jump, my mother pretty much asked how high. Dad was the boss in that household.

Lessons Learned

You ever feel guilty when you know you should be doing something, but find yourself procrastinating? That’s how I’ve been feeling. Guilty as heck because I’ve not been getting enough writing done.

Turning a Bad Review into Something Good

As writers, we all want to get a good review of our work. We crave it. Hunger for it. We need validation and reviews do that. Well, they do if they’re good reviews. But we all know we can’t please all of the people all of the time. Our reading tastes vary so much that what one person finds enjoyable another is going to hate. shrug Fact of life.

Mortified Matchmaker by Alexis Fleming

An old-fashioned undertaker who asks for lessons in what turns a woman on…what more could any teacher ask for?

When circumstances force kindergarten teacher Melissa Morgan to take her twin sister’s place as proprietor of a dating agency, the last thing she expects is to meet a funeral director in desperate need of lessons in what a woman wants. Despite his quirky behavior and antiquated ideas, Matthew Campbell pushes every one of Melissa’s buttons and it’s not long before the lessons become more important than finding Matthew a mate.

But how will Melissa react when she finds out Matthew is an undercover federal agent in pursuit of a blackmailer and she’s the prime suspect?

PROJECT: MAN by Alexis Fleming

So is he, or isn’t he? Gay, that is!

Forced to take Federal Agent Nicholas Farley into her home while she translates a mysterious ancient Egyptian papyrus, Professor Emily Payne finds herself the centre of a federal government case, not to mention the unwitting target for a thief bent on stealing the papyrus. If that isn’t bad enough, she finds herself seriously lusting after the agent, a man she believes is gay, a man who seems to react as strongly to her as she does to him. There’s only one thing for a learned girl like Emily to do—start a new project, the aim to initiate Nicholas into the joys of loving a woman.

Could there possible be a future for the crazy Professor and the sexy, macho Federal Agent?

HOT AND STEAMY

For those that don’t know, I live in Australia. Hot and steamy Australia. Well, not all of Australia is like that, but certainly most of the areas I have lived in. I was brought up in outback Australia where the days are long and hot. Winters were a treat. Shorts and tee shirts during the day and maybe a track suit at night, just to ward off the chill. But for the most part, it was hot, hot, hot.
