SALE !!


I'm playing with price points and Amazon deals so right now YESTERDAY'S HEADLINE  
is on sale for 99 cents.

Lea made that gorgeous cover. 

(Lea made a prettier cover that Amazon wouldn't allow because a hand was covering a breast. Oh well. )

Pretty, huh?

Anyway, it's an inter-racial romance set in Hollywood with a black actress named Kipper Dale who has Mommy issues and a hot guy with a ponytail named Hurst who finances restaurants and has brother issues.

The hero is hot, the heroine is smart and fierce and I'm proud of this book.

Yesterday's Headline


We don't do a lot of promotion here on ye olde blog and we like it that way. But sometimes we want to talk about what we've written and so we do. And I shall.

Yesterday's Headline is a book I wrote about modern Hollywood. The heroine is named Kipper Dale. I imagined her as a black Jennifer Aniston: beautiful, a little insecure, on a successful ensemble television comedy. Gave her a nightmarish, actress mother and a bad-boy, addict father.

The hero was based on that guy there.

Paul Levasque, aka Triple H. In the book his name is Hurst (Easton Hurst) and he's a businessman, a little rough, big and sexy and smitten immediately by Kipper.

I chose to write about Hollywood for many reasons. I'd read romances based in the industry and some were so ridiculously wrong that it pissed me off. One book I'd picked up got discarded after the first page when the director, during a taping, changes the script and decides the H/h should kiss.

Could never happen.

I'm not an expert but I know a lot from reading and added research. I do wish the book had gone a little more into the celebrity side of fame and maybe that can come into a later book. What I wanted to do with this was write something that was based more in reality, that had a H/h who were a little different and that I could have some sexy fun in the writing.

I enjoyed writing the book because the characters were awesome. I loved Kipper who was intelligent and funny and finding her way through the Hollywood maze. I adored Hurst who was single minded in getting what he wanted and was pure alpha, yet never stood in Kipper's way.

I'm working on Book 2 with Kipper's best friend and Hurst's brother and they're fun too. Lisa is a monster maker and Butch is a lazy boy who gets by on his looks and charm. I wanted to have it done this month but I failed in my time management.

Then there's book 3 with a woman who is not very feminine and a hero who's a professional wrestler. Those two are a kick in the pants.

I do love me some Hollywood stories.

YESTERDAY'S HEADLINE



Kipper Dale looks like she should have it all. As part of an ensemble cast on a top rated sitcom, Kipper has the perfect Hollywood pedigree with Marina Cash the movie star as a mother and bad boy rocker Remy Dale as a father.

But appearances can be deceiving. When she meets Easton Hurst, a muscular, pony-tailed restaurant owner, she begins to see herself and her world in a new light. As Hurst opens her heart, Kipper questons the facade her Hollywood life embraces and begins a journey to happiness in and out of the spotlight.

Furiously funny and seriously sensual, this book shows Hollywood as it's rarely seen.
