A little Reckless in Moonlight trivia
In a novel, there’s all the stuff that’s readily apparent because of what the author writes, but there are a lot of experiences, research and assumptions that an author uses to create a story that don’t necessarily make it into the manuscript.
I’d like to share some facts and background that influenced me in writing Reckless in Moonlight, as well as some of my favorite parts about the book.
· Creeks Crossing where Dana and Lon live is a purely fictitious place; however, it is based on the suburbs of southern California where I grew up.
· Southern California has many neighborhoods of “ramblers,” i.e., one-story homes. So when Dana puts in a pool in the backyard and builds an eight-foot privacy fence – no one can see over it – until her neighbors build a tree house that tops it.
· As a kid, I always wanted a tree house, but never had one. Perhaps that’s why it made it into one of my stories.
· Early in the book, Dana looks at Lon and thinks: “From the top of his head, covered by thick amber hair, to his bare tippy toes, his majestic, youthful body inspired her to stand and salute.” I pictured Lon as the “All-American boy-next-door,” and drew inspiration from the song, America the Beautiful : “for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties…”
· Dana works in public relations for a utility company and must face the media during a heat wave “crisis.” I used to work in PR (but not for a utility). One good “media crisis” throws your entire day into complete turmoil. Everything else you had planned comes screeching to a halt. When Dana arrives home late that Friday after dealing with the media, she is frazzled!
· A full moon technically lasts only seconds before it begins to wane. However, to the naked eye, it can appear to last for as long as three or four days. That’s why the moon can be full on Friday when Lon and Dana meet, and is still full a couple of days later.
· I didn’t know when I started Reckless that Dana would forgive her ex husband and his mistress. I didn’t realize it until Dana and Mila showed up at the hospital together. It was one of those situations where the character took charge of the story.
· My most favorite part of the book is the sex scene in the kitchen. I smiled the entire time I wrote it.
· My favorite line is when Katie shouts out in a crowded store, “you had sex with the neighbors’ son in the swimming pool!”
· The original story that I submitted to Loose Id, my publisher, was “sweeter.” However my publisher told me to “raunch it up.” I changed much of the sexual language, rewrote most of the sex scenes and added the opening fantasy as well as my favorite sex scene, the kitchen one.
· Part of what inspired me was to create a heroine that “older” readers could identify with. Love is always important, but after you’ve already been married and have raised children, you want different things out a relationship than what someone in her twenties wants.

Unexpected Consequences nominated for best erotic bdsm book of 2011
The Romance Reviews has nominated Unexpected Consequences in the “erotic bdsm romance” category for best book of 2011. Squee!!! It’s up to readers now to vote for their favorites. I’m thrilled with the recognition.
Released by Loose Id, Unexpected Consequences is about a naïve bride struggling to accept a domestic discipline marriage.
Here’s a blurb:
Having been reared in a traditional family in which her father was the undisputed head of household, Melania Traynor eagerly vows to follow and obey her new husband. She’s thrilled to marry Jared Traynor, man who will love, protect and guide her with a firm hand.
She has no idea how firm.
Jared belongs to the Rod and Cane Society, an organization of men and their wives who are devoted practitioners of domestic discipline.
When Melania disobeys a “request” from her husband and attempts to hide her disobedience, Jared delivers the spanking he feels is warranted.
Although Melania consents, she fears that she got more than she bargained for and doubts she can submit to a lifetime of domestic discipline.
Jared doubts he can accept anything less.
The nomination for best book comes at a great time because False Pretenses, the SEQUEL to Unexpected Consequences is tentatively scheduled for a June 2012 release by Loose Id. One of the minor characters in Unexpected Consequences is not who he or she claims to be, but is an infiltrator who seeks to expose the Rod and Cane Society. That person becomes the main character of False Pretenses.

A Scent of Longing, my 1Night Stand vampire romance is out!
It’s a happy, happy Friday the 13th because A Scent of Longing, my vampire romance released by Decadent Publishing debuts today! A Scent of Longing is my fifth published book, but my first paranormal.
Can a man who has nothing and a woman who’s lost everything find love together?
Lily Dansen refuses to date vampires. The last time she trusted a one, he turned her. She agrees to a date arranged by 1 Night Stand, believing that a quick tryst is all that’s left for her. A 376-year-old half-vampire, half human Luc Fortier can’t continue to satisfy the vampire fantasies of young ladies while his dreams go unfulfilled. He vows to bedazzle one last date before he calls it quits. Neither Luc nor Lily expect more than an evening of passion, but they haven’t counted on Madame Eve’s superior matchmaking skills.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Someone named Madame Evangeline emailed me to confirm my appointment.” Lily Dansen nailed her best friend with an accusing stare. “What did you get me into?”
Her feet curled under her on Lily’s sofa, Roxie Fairchild braved her scowl without a flinch. “It’s for your own good. You’ve moped around long enough. You need to live again.”
“Date, you mean.”
“Date. Have sex. Get wild and crazy. Anything!”
“No man will go out with me once he’s finds out what I am. What happens if I do to someone else what Phillip did to me? I couldn’t live with myself.” Bitterness etched Lily’s voice.
“You’re nothing like Phillip.” Her expression gentle, Roxie squeezed Lily’s hand. Her touch felt feverish, but Lily knew Roxie was fine; she was the afflicted one. “You have a long future, and you can’t spend it alone.”
Lily’s brunette curls bounced with the shake of her head. “I can’t date. I’m a vampire now.” The corners of her mouth drooped. “I’m also a terrible judge of character.”
“You’ve made some bad choices,” Roxie agreed.
“Married. Wanted for armed robbery. Vampire….” Lily ticked off the losers she’d had the misfortune of dating.
“That’s why Madame Evangeline’s 1Night Stand service—”
“—is a bad idea.”
“—is a good idea,” Roxie continued. “You can get your feet wet before you dive into the dating pool. An evening of hot sex with no strings attached will help you get your mojo back.”
Lily scrunched her nose up with distaste. “I don’t see how sleeping with a stranger will help me regain my confidence. And what if he has some horrible disease?”
Roxie chuckled. “A, that’s what condoms prevent. B, Madame Eve screens her candidates carefully. And, C, you’re a vampire now! You’re immune to everything, right?”
“That’s the only positive thing.” Lily hugged herself. The golden color she’d acquired basking on Santa Monica Beach had faded to pasty white, and she would never be able to tan again. If she so much as stepped into sunlight, she’d sizzle like a potato dropped into a deep fryer. And speaking of which, she couldn’t eat french fries anymore either. Or pizza. Or chocolate. But none of those things mattered.
Her throat constricted, and she swallowed. “I’ll never have children.” By turning her, Phillip, the rat vampire bastard, had stolen her chance of motherhood.
“I know, sweetie.” Roxie’s voice brimmed with sympathy. “And damn Phillip for that. But maybe, when you’re ready, you could adopt?”
“Who’d give a baby to a vampire?”
“How would they know?”
“There’d be home visits from a social worker or daytime meetings with an agency, which you know I can’t do!” She raised her hand to halt further painful discussion. “Please, can we talk about something else?”
“All right.” Roxie blinked and smothered a tiny yawn. “Sorry about that.”
“It’s not your fault.” She was out of sync with the world. The clock had struck midnight and her friend could hardly keep her eyes open, but Lily was wide awake. That pointed to another reason she couldn’t date—how could she explain her unavailability during the day?
“There’s no way Madame Evangeline could find a guy who would suit me.”
“She has a gift for connecting people. Besides, I know you. I filled out your online application with your likes, dislikes, and character traits.”
Annoyance warred with curiosity. Curiosity won. “What did you say about me?”
“I said you’re twenty-eight, brown-eyed, brunette, curvy, five-foot-five, a hundred and twenty pounds—”
“Actually, I’m a hundred and thirty,” Lily admitted.
“I figured you’d want me to shave off a little.”
Despite her misgivings, she laughed. “You do know me.” Her best friend since the second grade, Roxie was the only person with whom she had trusted her horrible secret—even her parents didn’t know.
“What else did you say?” She fingered her good luck charm, an aquamarine pendant. She’d fallen in love with the stone, drawn by its ethereal, calming color.
“I mentioned you are a graphic artist who works from home, likes children and dogs, are a night person, and you need a man with an open mind.”
A frightening possibility crystallized. “Did you mention that vamps need not apply?”
“And have Madame Eve delete the application as a hoax? No. Besides, if you hooked up with another vampire, wouldn’t that be perfect?”
“Absolutely not.” Lily shuddered. “After what Phillip did, I could never trust another vamp.”
The odds of meeting a vampire through a dating service probably ranged between slim and none. Not that it mattered, because she wasn’t going. “I’ll email Madame Evangeline and tell her thanks, but no thanks.”

Disciplinary Measures blurb
Married for just three years, Linc Ellison has reached his wit’s end. His wife’s overspending threatens to drive them into the poorhouse. But more than that, he doesn’t feel he can trust Regina because of her string of broken promises. When he learns about the Rod and Cane Society, a secret organization of men who spank their wives, he decides to implement some disciplinary measures to save his marriage.
Sure Regina shops a lot. And she’s broken some promises. But she’s trying to do better. What hurts most is that Linc no longer trusts her. So she consents to try domestic discipline.
Neither is prepared for the ripple effect the disciplinary measures will have on their love life.
Unexpected Consequences Blurb
Jared belongs to the Rod and Cane Society, a secret organization of men who spank their wives to maintain domestic discipline. When Melania ignores a “request” from her husband and attempts to hide her disobedience, Jared spanks her.
While Jared believes the unpleasantness has been settled, for Melania it only has begun. Although she consented to the spanking, her fairytale notion of marriage has been shattered and she makes plans to leave Jared as soon as her parents return from vacation.
While she waits, Melania begins to see more positive aspects of domestic discipline. But just as she decides her love for Jared is paramount and she might be able to accept a domestic discipline marriage, Jared discovers she’d planned to leave him and once again her marriage is in jeopardy.

Breeder, erotic sci-fi coming Oct. 15, 2013
Can a man love a woman in an M/M world?
Breeder, my first science fiction erotic romance, will be released by Loose Id on October 15, 2013. I hope this novel (62,000 words) will appeal to science fiction and contemporary romance readers as well as my domestic discipline/spanking romance fans.
Here's the blurb:
To secure his legacy, Commander Dak, a ruling Alpha of planet Parseon, purchases Omra, a breeder slave. He intends to impregnate her, produce a son, and hand her off to his anointed beta partner. As Dak and Omra discover a sexual bliss banned by law, he begins to question Protocol-sanctioned male domination, causing him to jeopardize his command and endanger the life of the woman he has come to love.
Breeder explores the concepts of gender roles and social prohibitions against deviant behavior. It includes graphic M/F and some M/M sexual content and domestic discipline.
