First, I’d like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It’s 2013 and there are a ton of good books coming out this year. I’ve been grievously neglecting the blog trying to get my book out by the end of 2012. I’m happy to say I made it but it’s not available everywhere yet so I won’t post the fabulous giveaway and celebration post until it is. In the meanwhile, some lucky commenter is going to win an ARC copy of Sarah MacLean’s February release, ONE GOOD EARL DESERVES A LOVER. Lady Philippa Marbury is . . . odd The brilliant, bespectacled daughter of a double marquess cares more for books than balls, for science than the season, and for laboratories than love. She’s looking forward to marrying her simple fiancé and living out her days quietly with her dogs and her scientific experiments. But before that, Pippa has two...

MILITARY HEROES My latest book, Heart of Danger, published by Avon Red, has just come out. It is the first book in the Ghost Ops Trilogy, about three brave men betrayed by their country who save the world, and the women with special gifts who help them. The heroes in Heart of Danger belong to the most elite unit in the military. Ghost Ops—their pasts have been cancelled and they don’t exist. Just don’t meet them in a dark alley. I write a lot about military heroes. First of all, I write romance, so at any rate the men are virile and brave and strong and true. They fight for what is right and have no compunction in laying their lives on the line. For many years I was a simultaneous interpreter and I worked for all the major international institutions and I saw politics up close. I saw what’s...

~*~*~ I have been completely unabashed in my love for this book since I first read it last year. Completely unabashed. I’ve read it countless times since then and my appreciation for it hasn’t waned a bit. Okay, enough of my gushing–and please don’t let that sway or influence your impression of the book–let’s discuss the book already. To get us started, I’ve listed some talking points below more as a guideline than anything else. Opening scene of the book, did it suck you in or not? What did you think of Alex’s way of exacting revenge against Ian Eversea? Was there a twist in the plot you didn’t see coming? Alex, what did you think of him as a hero? Genevieve, what did you think of her? Favourite scene in the book? Funniest scene in the book? Sexiest scene in the book? A part in the book that drove...
