Today marks the publishing of my 47th book. Back when I began writing, it seemed as though 47 was a number that seemed so far away. But here we are and I love this book as much as I loved my first one, and maybe a bit more. Why? My writing has improved over these forty plus books. I’m more comfortable with my publishing career. While it keeps me on my toes and learning something every day, I love it.
I work every day. I try to work less on the weekends, but I often find myself checking my phone for emails that need to be answered (I come from a legal profession where emails and phone calls needed to be answered within a few hours. That mentality has stuck with me). But mostly I work everyday because I enjoy it.
So, as I send my latest book off into the world, I do it with a smile and the knowledge that I told this story the way I wanted to and I enjoyed every minute of it. Mason and Carley were fun to write because I like them. If they were real, (I mean they are in my head), they are people I’d want to spend time with. And I’d cheer them on as they found love. I hope you will too. They’re great people.
And Blossom Springs, Florida is a place I’d absolutely live in. I mean, I do, sort of. Gene and I moved to Florida for the winters last year. It’s what sparked me to create Blossom Springs. But we don’t have a Sid & Grace, Quinn & Hanna, Jace & Margo or Mason & Carley. They live in Blossom Springs and are what makes that place so special.
As always, it takes a team to release a book into the world and I’d like to take a moment to thank those who helped me with Sensual Nights. So a great big thank you to the following folks:
Miranda Grissom, my PA. Wow, in a short time Miranda, we’ve done a ton of things together and I’m excited for more. Thank you for everything you do. You’re a rock star! I promise to tell you more often!
Deranged Doctor Designs created this sexy cover. I love working with them and they are top notch for sure. Thank you.
Judy Rosen – lady you sure can polish a rock and turn it into a diamond and for that I am grateful. Thank you.
Carol and Denise, thank you for Beta reading. I so appreciate your eyes and opinions.
Roadies, ahh, ladies, thank you for all the sharing and caring you do. What a wonderful group of gals we have sharing the love and spreading the word.
Road Queens, thank you for popping in each day and tuning in on Monday nights to chat with Gene and I. We enjoy you all so very much and appreciate you!
My husband, Gene, is my rock, biggest fan, my comic relief, my partner in crime and my soul mate. I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. I love you completely.
My children and grandchildren, thank you for cheering me on and offering support when it’s needed. Sometimes you don’t even know when I need a boost, but you always offer it and I am eternally grateful for that. Thank you for understanding that I love my work (not more than you, ever) and that I do it because it’s what makes me tick.
And now, I am proud to present to you, Mason Thompson and Carley Page in Sensual Nights.
