So. We are days, DAYS, from Love Edy's debut on June 24th and I have to confess: whenever I get this close to release day, I dine on fingernails morning, noon, and night. I'm a "there-there" girl in distress and I need my own bat signal. Help a girl out, will ya?
I'm sorry. I've lied. There is no help, no hope, no treatment for the likes of me around release day. But so what? Who cares? Ring the alarm! Love Edy's on the way!

I'm so excited about sharing my darling with you. When I wrote Love Edy, Hassan and Edy literally ignited for me. Not just in terms of chemistry, but well, you'll see. Anyway, I'll leave you to be the judge. I do wish I could give everyone on the planet a copy. Since I can't, I'll opt for the next best thing. Drop in on my Facebook Virtual Release Party and win one. I'll be SO glad you came. June 23-24th, noon to noon eastern time.

So, Love Edy has finally been set free. In honor of that, I've created
The Love Edy Withdrawal Playlist to be enjoyed after you've read the book. Relive every moment of the romance with these twenty-three songs or feel free to suggest a few of your own.

So, I’m back and here to give you an update on the sequel to Love Edy. Before I do, I want to express a debt of gratitude to my old readers and new. Wow! I never would have anticipated the love this novel has received. I do my best to respond to each and every one of you when you reach out to me, and if I miss one, please know it’s never on purpose.
Now on to the good stuff.

Don’t miss your chance to get a first look at a gorgeous cover, take a stab at some Love Edy inspired-prizes, AND win an advanced reader copy of Bittersweet as you celebrate my birthday. Seriously, you cannot miss this party. I’ll be hurt. And mad. I’ll be looking for you. (Smile).
