MATT SIMMONS is over Army doctors poking him. But when his sister won’t stop nagging him to see their old babysitter, now a sought-after physical therapist, he gives in just to get some peace.</div>

PENNY LEWIS is finally putting down roots after a lifetime of moving around. She’s got everything she wants, except the settled suburban life she longs for. All she needs is the perfect guy, which means NO military men.<br />
<br />
When Matt realizes that his old babysitter is h-o-t, he’s suddenly seeing the benefits of therapy. But Penny still sees him as the bratty kid she used to babysit.
Suddenly he has a new mission in life…

I hope you guys enjoy getting to know Matt & Penny and catching up with all of the Alexander brothers. Even though Matt's last name is Simmons, by the end of this book you'll see why he's an Alexander, too.

<b>Sequel to the National Bestselling novel <i>One More Day</i> </b><br />
<br />
<i>A bargain. A baby. A billion things can go wrong. </i><br />
<br />
NICHOLAS ALEXANDER doesn’t mind being called a playboy. His charm serves him well in business and a beautiful woman is always on his arm. Except the one he’s in love with.<br />
<br />
Raina Winters doesn’t believe in love, so when she’s dumped right before her wedding, she’s more upset about losing what she really wants from marriage. A baby.<br />
<br />
When Nick learns about Raina’s dilemma, his first reaction is to leave her hanging like she left him after their steamy one-night stand. But he finally has something Raina needs, so he offers her a deal. He’ll give her a baby if she gives him something he desires just as much.<br />
<br />
Just two little words.<br />
<br />
<i>I. Do.</i><br />
<br />
**WARNING** This book contains encounters with a drunken Elvis, pushy mamas, tabloid shenanigans, several occurrences of bad cooking and hot sex between two people who aren't even sure they like each other. Just saying...<br />

Not everyone has an e-reader. There - I said it. Everyone likes to make the assumption that everyone is up on new technology but I know from experience that some people need a little push.<br />

So, while doing my Black Friday shopping from the comfort of my couch, I noticed that the Kindle Touch was on sale for only $69. I couldn't resist buying one. </div>

<i>When the P.I. she hired to find her father is murdered, Ridley Wells runs to the only person she trusts, her twin sister, supermodel Raina Winters. But Raina’s out of the country and she needs a place to hide. So when a handsome man mistakes her for her sister, she gets an idea. </i></div>

<i>Millionaire hit-maker Jackson Alexander is happy to take in his neighbor. Warm, funny and a little shy, she’s different from his initial impression. The fact that Raina’s beautiful has nothing to do with it. His heart was buried with his late wife and no woman has ever tempted him to break his no-strings rule and none have roused the instinct to comfort and protect. </i></div>

I've been a pretty vocal fan of The Vampire Diaries. It's got action, romance, hot vampire brothers who like to take baths and then walk around half-naked. What's not to like? Most of my twitter followers get a front row seat to the show (whether they like it or not) but for everyone who isn't on Twitter, I've decided to post little recaps so you can join in the fun.<br />

Aesthetician Callista has major lust for one of her house-call clients and her attraction only has a little to do with his highly impressive package. Respectable businessman by day, dangerous Dom by night, Mikal possesses an underlying darkness that sets fire to her most taboo fantasies. If only he’d force her to have sex with him, he’d be her perfect lover.<br />
<br />
Something about Callista calls to Mikal’s darkest instincts, but he works hard to suppress his predatory urges and aggressive desires. He doesn’t want the kind of trouble that comes from indulging them. Callista endangers herself in a bid to satisfy her own forbidden needs, his resolve fractures. Her surrender belongs to him, her body is his to command, trouble be damned.<br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>Reader Advisory: Callista’s highly-charged sexual journey takes her to some dark places. Thank goodness she has Mikal to fulfill her every need!</i><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">There’s only one substance on earth that can create a new vampire--the blood of a Chalice, a rare individual with magic in her veins. Atlanta’s human-vampire Civility Laws demand that if a Chalice is found, she must be destroyed. Vampire Teijon Reyes allowed the mortal girl Dessa Collier to live despite the threat she posed to society. If he ever finds her again, he will kill her, personal desires be damned.</span><br />
<br />
Heiress to a family tradition of ward-working, house painter Dessa Collier has spent the past twelve years pretending vampires don't exist. When a friend-enemy walks back into Dessa’s life after a decade-long absence, everything Dessa has been hiding from comes crashing down on top of her.<br />
<br />
Thrown together on a mission to protect a city under seige, Dessa and Teijon can no longer hide from the powerful attraction that binds them...or the monsters out to destroy them.<br />

I've discovered something unexpectedly sexy lately. Something that I've been doing in my bed late at night when I have insomnia. It keeps me entertained while my hubby snores unaware right next to me.
<br />
<br />
Audiobooks!
<br />
<br />
Wait, what did you think I was going to say?
<br />
<br />
I've never listened to an audiobook before this summer but I started listening as research. I've been contemplating producing one of my own books into audio and figured I'd better at least know what an audiobook was supposed to sound like before I started. Well, an interesting thing happened.
<br />
<br />
I got hooked.
<br />
<br />
There's something really soothing about the sound of the human voice and being told a story is one of the oldest human traditions there is. After devouring multiple audiobooks I was convinced. Audio deserves way more attention than it receives and I'm super excited to present my first contribution to the audio world.

I love a good beg. Don't you?<br />
<br />
This weekend I'm reading EL James' hit novel FIFTY SHADES OF GREY and Christian Grey has me totally revved up. In honor of the occasion, and because my FSoG copy is a free read courtesy of my local library, I've decided to share the BDSM love by discounting my novella DOMINATING AMY by 100% <i>for a limited time</i>.<br />
<br />
Yes. That does equal <b>free</b>. Totally, no strings attached zero dollars. If you like your friends, you'll let them in on the deal so they can spice things up too.<br />
<br />
Ready? Ok - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dominating-Amy-ebook/dp/B007CPLBEK/ref=sr_1_14?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1339027223&sr=1-14">here's the Amazon link</a>. Quick, get it while it's <b>free</b>. Don't wait!<br />

Thanks so much Minx for inviting me here today. And for dealing with my *duh* moment when I thought I couldn't load my post. :-)<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Gretchen, Flora and Tonya are my
leading ladies in The Roughnecks. When Minx offered me a chance to guest on The
Naughty Girls, I knew my topic had to be about them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in;">
I think every girl needs at least
one best friend in her backpocket and Gretchen lucked out with two of them.
When she was ready to go after her man, it was these two who pushed her out of
the nest. When her man turned into a bit of a jerk, it was these two saying to
hell with him.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in;">
<br />
Best friends. They drink. They chat.
They talk about men. They eat a heck of a lot of pie together. Gretchen is the
sweet one. Flora definitely my little sexy kitten of
the group! Tonya is a bit more levelheaded and sensible. While I didn’t aim to
write them that way, they just took on their personality.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0in;">
When Gretchen wanted to go after her
man, it was Flora telling her to buy the biggest box of condoms she could and
have fun. Tonya was the one seeing that she got the condoms.<o:p></o:p></div>

The <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/16/self-publishing-book-indies_n_1522579.html?ref=books" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a> has a great article today about the changing industry and the current "war" between indie authors and traditional authors. Not that I subscribe to the belief that there is a war brewing between indies and traditional authors. I mean, what is this, X-Men? This isn't a case of mutants vs. normals or whatever. However, ridiculous assumptions aside, I think the article brings up an interesting question.<br />
<br />
Mainly, do readers care where the books come from?<br />
<br />
In my experience, the answer to this question is no. Readers want a great story wrapped up in a professional package. As long as I provide:<br />
<br />
(1) high quality, eye-catching cover art<br />
(2) a fast-paced, well-edited story AND<br />
(3) a properly formatted file with a working table of contents<br />
<br />
then I've never had readers complain about my indie-published book. As a matter of fact, most readers don't know which of my books are indie-published and which ones aren't.<br />
<br />
Which, in my opinion, is exactly as it should be. <br />
<br />
I'm curious what other people think about this issue. Do you care if your favorite authors publish on their own or with a publishing company? <br />
<br />
Stay Naughty!<br />

<br />
Nonetheless, my friends, I am ready. I already have my to-do list in place.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Valentine's To-Do List</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So, what are your plans for the day of love? I'm feeling lovey so I've decided to make things a little more interesting.

<div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">This has been an exceptional year for all of us here at Naughty Girls. I was going to do a recap but that's a little boring so instead, I thought I'd end it with an interview with a new author. Enjoy!</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - Tell us a little about Ian Dalton.</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Ian</b> - I've been writing for about six years and began by writing humorous fiction. I'm married, have a full time job, three kids and a new puppy who's currently driving us all crazy with his teething, rambunctiousness and incessant humping of pretty much anything and anyone. I'd love to write full time, but for now, it's just a hobby.</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - What the hell is a guy doing writing erotic contemporary romance?</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span></span></strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Ian</b> - Okay, so maybe I'm a little too in touch with my feminine side or maybe I just need some good professional help. At this point I'm not really sure…I can tell you that I have a loyal, but somewhat small group of female fans who really love this series. So I think I have some talent in this genre. All I ask is for readers to download a sample and give me a chance. I believe they'll be pleasantly surprised.</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - In your novels the sex scenes are smoking hot- where do you find the inspiration?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Ian</b> - I enjoy <i>occasional</i> mind-blowing amazing sex with my incredible wife and channel those memories when I'm crafting scenes and then let my imagination take over from there. I say occasional because what guy really thinks he gets it enough… Plus the kids, puppy and just general life stuff can really cut into the amount of romance novel quality type sex a couple can actually have. </span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - So why the switch from writing comedy novels to erotic contemporary romance?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Ian</b> - When I wrote my first novel, this comedy about of all things, the subject of male enhancement, I found my sex scenes drifting into the 'a little too much information/erotic/explicit' zone. A friend who read an early draft alerted me to this. So I scaled back those scenes and released it as more of a straight comedy novel. I found that I really enjoyed writing the hot scenes, so I went back and included them in a new version of that story and plan on releasing it under the title ENHANCED very soon. I actually write under two pen names- one for my humorous less explicit work and another for my contemporary erotic romance. I plan to have a version of each book available under each pen name. Well, all except Desperate Thoughts. If I scaled back on the explicitness of that story, it would be just a few pages long…</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></strong><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - Where did you get the inspiration for Inappropriate Thoughts?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Ian</b> - Where else…a past relationship. A girl that I won’t mention by name, actually broke my heart in college in pretty much the exact way outlined in the book. She was a ballet dancer and she could really do that thing with her leg (keeping one on the floor while pointing the other straight up to the ceiling) and when I saw her do it at a party, I was hooked. Okay, so I was a shallow pathetic inexperienced eighteen year-old loser… Anyway most of the beginning of the story is based on true events, with the names changed to protect the guilty…I thought my memories from my relationship with 'Miss Flexibility' would make a great start for a novel. From there I set out to write a story to capture the intense desire between a couple who are completely crazy about one another, but are desperately trying to squash those feelings. It's the story of a divorced woman who falls for a younger man who just happens to be the best friend of her son. I wanted to explore all the passionate thoughts floating around in their heads as they pined away, but for obvious reasons are prevented from acting on their desires.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - So in the story, your romance plays out on a tennis court of all places, what the heck is that about?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText3"><b>Ian</b> - I was looking for a common interest that my characters could share. One that would bring them together in a way that could almost seem sexual without being sexual, you know…In my novel, tennis becomes the sex replacement for this couple as they long for one another. I've always been drawn to tennis. I feel it's the only sport a man and woman can play competitively together and have it be intense and almost sexy. All the grunting and the rhythm that players can get into on the court as they blast the ball back to each other over the net can be incredibly sensual. Not to mention the shorts skirts and all that bending over…Anyway, what was the question again?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - <strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">We love Victoria and are dying to know where you came up with her character?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Ian</b> - She really started as a minor character in the story. I was looking to create a wild and crazy friend to contrast against Jillian Grayson's straight laced, much more proper and shy personality. From there Victoria was born and as I kept writing she became a bigger and bigger part of the story- especially in books two and three.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - What can you tell us about the series prequel Desperate Thoughts?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Ian</b> - I was so intrigued with the amazing and sexy Victoria, that as I was writing Inappropriate Thoughts, before I even finished the first draft, I decided I needed to write Victoria's back-story. So I put I.T. away for a while and wrote Desperate Thoughts. I was obsessed with figuring out how Victoria developed her mojo, her superfun, wild, strong, sexy personality and I as I crafted it I had a blast. Her story is a little tragic and certainly doesn't have the elements of humor found in the rest of the series, but it's steaming hot if I do say so myself. Let's just say I would love to be Ethan in that story as he got to <i>know</i> Victoria. I recommend that the prequel be read after the other books, but it really can be read at any time within the series.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - Tell us what's planned for the VICTORIA WILDE series.</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Ian</b> - I would…except I don’t want to spoil it. I have an author's note at the end of Revealing Thoughts, which is book three, and there I reveal some things upcoming in book four.</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - So what are you working on now?</span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Ian</b> - My marriage mainly…</span></strong><span style="color: black;">I'm taking a little break so my head doesn't explode. I wrote over 250,000 words in this series in 2011 and I need to spend some time with my wife so she doesn't leave me. Victoria has me exhausted, she's been known to do that to a guy…I invite readers to send me an email to help coax me off my ass to finish the fourth book sooner. But for now my brain just hurts and I think I'll have a beer or two and rub my wife's feet occasionally…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - It seems to be an unusual strategy to offer each of your novels in two forms. Can you tell us more about your plan?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><b>Ian</b> - I'm an unusual guy and I tend to think of my books as something like a copy of a DVD movie that gives you a choice of "rated" and "unrated" versions. I enjoy writing the explicit scenes, but know that not all readers are looking for that much heat. I believe the comedy and characters are strong enough in all the books to let the stories stand on their own without all the explicitness. I wanted to give people a choice. </span>So whether a reader likes their contemporary romance regular or extra spicy, I believe I have something for them. <span style="color: black;">I'm trying to keep the pen names separate for now until I figure all this out. So if someone is interested in the "tamer" versions of my books, they can send me an email for more information.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><b>Naughty Girls</b> - And finally any New Year's resolutions for 2012?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"><b>Ian</b> - Definitely floss more, a lot more… Oh, rub my wife's feet at least once a week (Please note this is much less than the twice a day she's looking for…) Figure out what the hell to do with the love triangle that surrounds Victoria in book four of my series and, oh yeah, come clean with my kids that I'm writing erotic contemporary romance novels…on second thought, I think I'll wait until 2014 for that one. That's when they'll finally be heading off to college where it's a lot harder to embarrass them…</span><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span></strong></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

The prequel to the Victoria Wilde series, Desperate Thoughts is a 40,000 word novella, which reveals the tragic yet steaming hot story of how Victoria got her mojo. <br />

SUMMARY<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On his deathbed, Victoria Wilde's husband David leaves her with a gift; a replica of the most intimate part of him and makes her promise to go on with her life and share her most cherished gifts with another. But even after fourteen months the young widow finds herself unable to enjoy his gift or share her own. When Victoria spots a man who could be her late husband's younger twin, she's reminded of a story David shared of him as an insecure college freshman, who was given the gift of self-confidence by a clandestine sexual encounter with a beautiful older woman, and Victoria relives the erotic experience with her Davidesque stranger. Afterward, she's re-awakened sexually and motivated to do the same for other deserving young men in a way that both honors her lost love's memory and satisfies her desperately unfulfilled desires. With each new encounter the risk grows along with the passion until events spiral out of control and she's forced to choose between continuing down a path of self-destruction or finally letting go of the past.<br />

Last week DC Comics made an <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/10/07/barnes-noble-pulls-watchmen-sandman-and-100-dc-graphic-novels-from-their-shelves-over-amazon-kindle-fire-deal/">announcement</a> that they would be offering 100 new comics exclusively to the Kindle Fire. Apparently that hit a nerve with the nation's largest bookseller, Barnes & Noble, because they've retaliated by yanking all DC Comics from their brick & mortar locations and now it's on like Donkey Kong!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">According to a Barnes & Noble executive, "To sell and promote the physical book in our store showrooms and not have the e-book available for sale would undermine our promise to Barnes & Noble customers to make available any book, anywhere, anytime." Customers won’t even be allowed to special order the comics unless they have them delivered to their own homes. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Ouch!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Honestly, B&N's position sounds reasonable but this still feels like watching a particularly vicious game of dodge ball at recess. Who’ll chicken out first? Who knows but the consumers are the ones inconvenienced in the meantime.<br />

It's been roughly seven months since I decided to publish a test novella as an indie. Most of what I've learned has been helpful with my traditionally e-published books, as well. Things such as the importance of writing a good blurb, promoting responsibly (no spamming) and being reactive to the market.<br />
<br />
It hasn't all been roses though, so I figured I'd share in case anyone else is on the fence.<br />
<br />
<u>PROS</u><br />
<br />
In indie publishing, you have a measure of control that is almost addictive. If my sales are lackluster I can change my cover (imagine asking for that at a traditional publisher!), tweak my blurb or even change the title. I recategorized <i>Teasing Trent</i> and it immediately hit some of the sub-category bestseller lists, something none of my other books have ever done. Win!<br />
<br />
I've noticed a lot of epubs put their books in one big "Romance" or "Erotica" category which means the book will never trend on a sub-list (such as "Romance - Contemporary" or "Romance - Fantasy/Futuristic"). So, recently I sent emails asking some of my publishers to recategorize the books I have with them.<br />
<br />
I was actually told by one that they <i>can't </i>place the book in anything other than a general category (but indie's can put them there? Huh?) and just flat out told by another that they don't <i>want</i> to change it. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">o_O</span><br />
<br />
<i>Teasing Trent</i> has been on several sub-lists and it's always an amazing boost for sales. The more lists your book is on, the more people see it = the more people buy it. Why wouldn't you want to take advantage of that? It's the easiest way to get more visibility there is. Just put the books in the right place!<br />
<br />
Then there's the stats. The sweetly seductive publisher panel in Kindle's KDP portal and BN's PubIt! Since I'm tracking sales in real time, I immediately know whether my above mentioned changes had an effect. Change the title, score! Upload a new cover, score! Surely you see how this is addictive. There should be medication for this, really. <br />
<br />
Speaking of stats, that's the other thing that's interesting. Sales have only gone up (From 53 sales in month one to 313 sales in month six). Now, I'm not setting the world on fire but at my epubs, I got the majority of sales in month one and then very little after that. I have no idea how long it will last but I've already beaten what a longer (higher-priced) story made at a top epub.<br />
<br />
I'm good with that.<br />
<br />
The biggest PRO of all is that I can put out cool stuff for the fans. <i>Casey's Night In</i> was something I wrote just because so many people wrote me emails about The Mirage Agency series. I wanted to put it on the major platforms so people don't have to hunt for it. BN has already got it for free and hopefully Amazon will price match it soon. I wasn't able to do that with my epubs. <br />
<br />
<u>CONS</u><br />
<br />
In the midst of all my glee I sometimes forget to track just how much WORK it all is. Gone are the days when I just write something and turn it over to someone else. Now I have to troll stock art sites for cover photos, find a freelance editor, arrange advertising and most time consuming of all - FORMAT THE THING. Because I am a perfectionist, I actually strip the manuscript down to plain text and then add in the html formatting from there. I actually care if the cover displays nicely next to the book stats on my Kindle when I click on it. I keep seeing books with random pictures or photos that look like candids of the author in place of where the cover should be. Egads!!! Also the book needs a working Table of Contents and proper chapter headings
(otherwise I can't skip ahead and back by chapter on my Kindle). <br />
<br />
HTML and CSS are not for the faint of heart.<br />
<br />
Also, there's no one to blame if you fail. I can't point to the crappy cover (Um, yeah I chose it) or the blurb that was changed after you turned it in or the title that was your third choice because the one you wanted was taken. There's an expression that I love - "The cavalry isn't coming". It's incredibly pertinent to indie publishing because here, YOU are the cavalry. No one's saving you but yourself.<br />
<br />
Which is, frankly, kind of scary. <br />
<br />
<u>THE POINT </u><br />
<br />
Based on the above, I feel there are valid reasons to publish both ways. There are going to be times when I just plain don't feel like doing all of the above. It's a heck of a lot of work and it's not 9 to 5 type work, either. It's all-day, all-night, chained-to-your-computer, hubby-is-jealous-of-my-laptop work.<br />
<br />
I don't want to discourage anyone because clearly, I ADORE it. I just want people to be aware of what they're in for. It's exhausting but it's also incredibly gratifying and the fact that I keep 70% of the money goes a long way to making up for those long nights.<br />
<br />
I can buy a lot of coffee with that 70%.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here's to the cavalry,<br />

Unfortunately, most sites don't allow you to put things for free but I'm happy to report that <i>Casey's Night In</i> (prequel to <i>Asking for Andre</i>) is now FREE on B&N!!! Go to the Amazon page and report the lower price and maybe Amazon will make it free too. Yay!!<br />

Come drool over the pictures of Andre Lavin (as played by McDreamy Patrick Dempsey) and Milo Hamilton (as played by Italian hottie Raoul Bova). I went ahead and cast all the recurring characters too so if you've read <i>Beg for It</i>, come see if I did the characters justice.<br />

In the meantime, since I cast the characters for Anya and James, I might be persuaded to reveal a few details about Book 3 which is their story. You never know...<br />

<br />
<br />Two of my friends have new releases out that are super hot. First up is Emily Ryan-Davis' tale of forbidden love set in the midst of a sultry Virginia summer.
<br />
<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.jasminejade.com/p-9494-hot-for-pepper.aspx"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 327px;" src="http://www.jasminejade.com/images/Product/medium/9781419935978.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Summer in Virginia burns as hot as Mitchell’s desire for sheltered Southern princess Pepper. Between official assignments, Capt. Scott has a private mission—claim the genteel redhead before another man discovers the spicy passion lying dormant beneath Pepper’s skittish exterior.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Trust-fund baby Pepper is surrounded by men—her adoptive father, her stepbrothers, her casual romantic companion. All men who want her to f</span><span style="font-style: italic;">it the roles they envision.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Only Mitch has ever asked her what she wants. She’s going to tell him…as soon as she can think past the scorching press of his body against hers and the overwhelming compulsion of her hunger for a man society says she shouldn’t crave.</span>
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />Next up is a scorching tale of the hottest fraternity in existence: The Big V by Lolita Lopez
<br />
<br />
<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.jasminejade.com/images/Product/medium/9781419935350.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 327px;" src="http://www.jasminejade.com/images/Product/medium/9781419935350.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<br />
<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">A night of wild partying with football god Chris at his frat’s Halloween bash sounds like the perfect cure for Ashley’s midterm blues. But her carefree night quickly takes an FML turn. Chris and his hunky frat buddies intend to use her as their virgin sacrifice!</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">She nearly faints as Chris describes the deliciously dirty ritual orgy they have planned, a ritual centered on giving Ashley multiple orgasms. Sensual massage. Spanking. Twelve sets of big, strong hands on her innocent body. A dozen soft mouths driving her wild. Could there be a more memorable way to lose the Big V than with these sinfully sexy frat boys?</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Chris promises Ashley a night she’ll never forget—and she plans to hold him to it.</span>
<br /></div>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reader Advisory:</span> Our heroine endures scorching sexual pleasure at the hands—and mouths—of a dozen horny frat brothers. Oh, what torture…
<br />
<br />
<br />Both of these books are available at Ellora's Cave. Be prepared to be either shocked, scandalized or really, really satisfied after reading :)
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />Enjoy!
