Callie Croix Release Day
That naughty Callie Croix has another release today. Dillon’s Claim, the sequel to Deacon’s Touch, is officially out and this eldest Dumen brother is quite the sexy alpha cowboy!
There are a couple of contests going on with giveaways for the book, so you can check out the info on Callie’s personal blog.
Hope all of you are ready for the upcoming holiday madness! I’ve got all my shopping and wrapping done, so that’s a huge relief. But if my Callie persona lands me on Santa’s naughty list, I’m going to be ticked 🙂 (You won’t tell him, right?)
Let the Countdown Begin
Less than three weeks until Christmas! My kids are tearing through their advent calendars each morning and hubby has the front yard looking as festive as the inside of our house. My shopping is essentially done, and all I have to do is my baking and wrapping.
We’re hosting Christmas dinner on Boxing Day this year, because it’s hubby’s side of the family’s turn, and a few relatives can’t make it on the 25th. There’ll be 15 of us, so I’ll have to do up lots of dishes to make sure everyone has enough to eat while ensuring we have lots of leftovers.
I got a lovely email yesterday from Rhonda Penders (editor-in-chief) of The Wild Rose Press, and I had to smile. Meeting her and my TWRP editors at that Texas dude ranch was wonderful on both a personal and professional level. It makes all the difference when you meet and actually spend time with the folks you work with, and it’s no different in the publishing world.
Callie Croix has another release next Friday, the sequel to Deacon’s Touch. Dillon’s Claim features Dillon (yeah, you’d never guess that from the title, right?), the eldest Dumen brother. He’s quite the alpha male :).
Hope everyone out there is handling the December chaos well! Happy holidays to everyone.
Incognito
This weekend was another whirlwind of activity at our place. An 8 am soccer game Saturday morning, then I had to leave right away to do a presentation to the Vancouver RWA chapter. I missed my eldest son’s soccer game, and ironically, his first two goals ever. I was so sad!
He forgave me, and we went ahead with our dinner plans to a fancy place downtown, followed by a special Vancouver Symphony Orchestra performance featuring Loony Tunes cartoons (Bugs Bunny et al) while the orchestra played the musical score. Was a great evening.
In other news, Callie Croix has a new release today. A very hot short read, but did I mention it’s hot? Oh yeah. If you’re interested, you can find the details on her website. Hence the incognito post 🙂
Hope everyone south of the border has a wonderful Thanksgiving this week! Have some turkey for me. Yum.
Release Day!
Well, it’s here. Release day for my alter ego, Callie Croix. Deacon’s Touch is the first of a series that one of my editors and I have created, and my second addition to it is called Dillon’s Claim. Probably won’t be out until next year, but we’ll see.
In the meantime, here’s the blurb and buy link for Deacon’s Touch. I’m also at author CR Moss’s blog today, and will give away a copy of the book to a commenter there. Feel free to stop by and say hello!
Have a great weekend!
Blurb: After her own engagement goes to hell, workaholic Jessica Talbot dreads her friend’s bachelorette party at a dude ranch in Nowheresville, Texas. But the outlook for the weekend brightens when Deacon Dumen picks her up at the airport. The sexy cowboy awakens every dormant sexual fantasy with nothing more than a friendly smile and a handshake.
Ex-Air Force Pararescueman Deke Dumen doesn’t know what to make of the sexy yet reserved brunette who breaks through the walls he built after an injury ended his career and a divorce soured him on relationships. As a guest at his family’s ranch Jessie is off limits, but the Dom in him rebels at the restriction, even as he realizes his penchant for control in the bedroom would likely scare the holy hell out of her.
When Jessie shocks Deke by asking for exactly what he’s been craving, he’s ready to break the rules and introduce her to his own brand of dominance. Her willing surrender rocks them both to the core. But once the weekend’s over, they must decide if it was just a wild fling or the start of something more.
