Aside from being one of my dearest friends and a person who I just absolutely love to death, Megan Hart also happens to be an amazing writer. Right now, she’s selling her books in print, complete with an autograph. I want to urge you to check her out if you have not already.

One of her books in particular is a big favorite of mine - Passion Model

Here’s the blurb:
Passion Model: SF Erotic Romance

When Recreational Intercourse Operative GMMA 03271971 drags a PSSN-M model pleasurebot to an inspection station to check for a faulty ignition, she doesn’t expect his lovemaking to send her over the edge into the most explosive climax she’s ever had. But what she really doesn’t expect is to find the handsome bot is really a man. Declan has a secret, one that could get Gemma fired from R.I.O, or worse…maybe even killed.

Here are some details from Megan herself:
Autographed books make great gifts. I’m selling off my stock now at reduced prices…Order your copies now and save…!

To celebrate Triad’s release in paperback, I’m having a new contest at my website! Go check it out and good luck!

Hey all, there are two of my kissing scenes up for Smooch of the Month at Ecataromance - Vote here.

If you enjoyed either book, I would most assuredly appreciate your vote for one or the other. If you’d like to read them before voting:

Second Chances.

A Touch of Fae.

Thank you all in advance!

Lauren

So, a year ago today I got the letter from my editor (I originally remembered it as being from Raelene but I went to look and it was from the fantabulous Ann) that started:

Dear Lauren

After reviewing your submission, TRIAD, Ellora’s Cave would like to extend to you a contract for publication.

CONGRATULATIONS!

And my life hasn’t been the same since then. It’s been an amazing year filled with very high highs and some low lows too, but overall, it’s been so incredible and living a dream that I’ve had since I was old enough to make up my first story is indescribably wonderful.

In the last 365 days I’ve:

• Edited and had Triad release in ebook and now in print
• Written, edited and had A Touch of Fae release in ebook format
• Written, edited and had Second Chances release in ebook format
• Written and submitted Dark Justice
• Written and submitted Cascadia Wolves: The Encorcer
• Written and submitted Witches Knot
• Written and and still editing Enclave
• Written and still editing Wolf
• Set up a website, an author loop, joined two different author cooperatives, chatted, blurbed and edited.
• Gotten fan mail and what a joy that is, thank you all!

And a lot more, but those are the big highlights. I have to tell you all that I would not have those things to list if you were not behind me, supporting me through everything, sending me notes of encouragement, commenting here and at my loop. It’s incredibly special to me that you all take the time to tell me how you felt about my books.

Now, I’m off to sniffle a bit and snuggle with my kiddos and enjoy the warm glow.

My fellow Writer Babes and I are starting a new, fun weekly tradition. Each Thursday the Writerbabes blog is going to have a weekly theme. Sometimes it’ll be tied to a release that one of us has or is coming up, other times it’ll just be something fun and random.

And each week there’ll be a different kind of contest and prize. This week’s theme (and we decided to have this first week be two weeks, LOL) is Shapeshifters. Look for fun posts and pictures on that theme all week long.

For details of the contest, head on over to the blog! Good luck!

My oldest son got the Sly Cooper game for the PS2 for his birthday. It’s a fun game, it’s fun to play and not so hard that my 4 year old can’t at least win part of it. What I love most is when I do some move and my sweetest boy will say, “momma, you’re so cool! I love it when you teach me new stuff! You rock.”

No, what rocks is that my eight year old tells me I rock. I taught him to do the devil horns so now when something cool happens he flashes them at me. Megan Hart would be proud, I need to get a picture of it to send to her. (she’s one of the few people who loves the devil horn enough to co-create an international emoticon symbol for it. In fact, Megan, Anya Bast and I have made up quite a few of those and Allie McKnight helped. Yeah, sometimes trouble is fun)

I got a review of Triad today from TCM, which is a new outlet for reviews of erotic romance. It’s a nice one and I like that every once in a while, something from Triad will pop up.

I heard from an old friend today, and she’s well and I may end up seeing her this month, which is nice. I don’t see enough of my friends these days.

That’s about it. Have a nice Friday evening, everyone!

It was an excellent release day at EC yesterday and instead of jamming two books into one day, I thought I’d do Shelley’s yesterday and Dawn’s anthology today. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Dawn’s writing, she’s wonderful! Even after you pick this one up (and Ari and Katherine are really great too), don’t forget to circle back to try Destined, which is fabulous!

Here’s a blurb for Dawn’s story in the anthology - Crash Course:

When Chiliad-Kai Jayrt’ian, rogue space pirate, crash-lands on the desert world of Chebrri, he meets the planet’s only upside…

Val. She’s beautiful. She’s clever. She’s constantly trying to blast extra holes in his anatomy.

Val, a young cadet-warrior on the Amazonian colony Chebrri-Taj, found the strange…appealing…male adrift in the desert sands. She’s captivated…

Chiliad is the first man she’s ever seen. He’s a barbarian. A domineering, aggravating barbarian. And she can’t stop thinking about how good it feels when he kisses her.

Fighting a forbidden passion, Val must lead Chiliad back to his ship before all hell—and a bunch of angry Amazons—break loose.

Shelley Munro has a fabulous new shifter book releasing from Ellora’s Cave today! In case you don’t already know this, Shelley is marvelously talented and writes wonderful books. I’m going to put a blurb up in case the cover isn’t enough to sell you:

Emily Scarlet’s husband left her for his secretary and died in a car accident—all on the same day. Now, six months later, Emily has emerged from her chrysalis of painful memories. And to prove she has what it takes to attract a man, she’s determined to experience one perfect night of passion.

Feline shape shifter, Saber Mitchell has a problem with his four boisterous younger brothers. They’re out of control. It’s too late for him, but he hopes to get his brothers mated and settled, and a ball is the place to introduce them to marriageable women.

Unbridled sex is the last thing he plans on, but one glimpse of Emily Scarlet changes his mind. Sex with her is a necessity. They dance. They make love. One thing is clear—a single night isn’t enough. Saber must have her for his mate, but Emily isn’t so easy to convince…or trust.
