New Published Stories

My story For George is in Ravenous Romance's ebook Rekindled Fire: An Anthology of Reunited Lovers, edited by Elle Amery, where I am delighted to join a wonderful group of authors exploring the theme of rediscovered passion, especially since the group includes my good friend and writing comrade, Nini Richou. You can order the book here. I really like the cover for the anthology--it's romantic and moody.


I had fun writing For George. Grace is a novelist who is down on her luck and takes a job in the same diner where once she had a passionate affair with George, the owner's nephew. George is now the owner of the diner, but though Grace has fond memories of him and their steamy times together, George is openly hostile to Grace. I grew up in New Jersey and spent lots of time in diners just like the one in the story, though, alas, not with anyone like George!

I am thrilled to announce the release of my first historical erotic romance, The Proper Wife, in Ellora's Cavemen: Flavors of Ecstasy II.

You can order the book either in print or ebook here.

Here's the blurb:

Elizabeth Warren is not happy with her handsome ship captain husband but doesn’t know what she’s missing until she spies a man and woman having torrid sex. How can she, a proper wife, rouse that kind of passion from her husband?

An unexpected and intense education from a whore allows Elizabeth to use her new skills to seduce her husband. But he is furious, convinced by her wantonness that she is unfaithful. He binds Elizabeth and takes her with an abandon that has her crying with pleasure. Now she must win back his trust.

This story takes place in Salem, Massachusetts which at one time was a famous shipping port. I live nearby and enjoy wandering the streets and exploring the local history. I have ideas for more stories set in Salem and the surrounding area. I just need to write faster so I can get to all the projects I have on my "to-do" list!

One more piece of good news. Violet Blue is including my first published story The Bitch in His Head in her "Best of the Best" anthology due out later this year. Thank you, Violet!
