Hot Summer Loving-Hop

Hot, sticky and wet! That’s what it’s currently like at RWA Nationals in Atlanta. For a Southern California girl, I’m certainly not used to this weather. As a writer, though, I always enjoy learning the particulars of a new climate.

Tonight a friend and I ventured out across the city. Light sprinkles abounded. OK, earlier in the night we received a Flash Floor warning via our cell phones, but did we listen? Oh, noooo. How can one pass up a concert in another city? The woman in front of us commented on how she stood in the rain so long, her panties got all “wet.” Ummm, yeah: As a romance writer, that’s poor choice of words.

On the way home, we got caught in a downpour, waiting for a taxi. Still a little sticky, but it was quite the adventure. Wonder which book it will pop up in?

Anyway, I hope your summer is filled with lots of love and romance, and if you’re going through a bit of a dry spell, a whole lot of good reading material!

Tell me: What’s your favorite season? I’m giving away a $10 gift certificate to Amazon or B&N – winner’s choice to one person who comments. So make sure to leave a valid email address.

Currently, I’m working on edits for my first Ellora’s Cave release Long Haul – look for it, coming soon! And check out the rest of my books, including the sizzling erotic paranormal series The Vampire, The Witch & The Werewolf.

Grand Prizes - We have two grand prizes. #1 is a Kindle Fire. #2 is a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate.

Thanks for stopping by!

  31. Fall is my favorite season. I love breathing in the crisp cool air and the bursts of colors as the trees start preparing for winter. There are apples and pumpkins galore just waiting to be picked and turned into pies and apple cider. But one of the things I look forward to the most is curling up on those chilly nights with a comfy blanket and a good book.

  33. My favorite season is autumn, that in-between as we wind down from those scorching temps and get ready for the freezing cold. When you can walk around in a t-shirt and jeans comfortably; just love it.
