TwitterAbout the author:
Award winning Author of the Independent Press Award and NYC Big Book Award.
My love for writing began several years ago after an early retirement from a demanding job that I loved, but also hated because it consumed so much of my time. Now, I am able to focus my time on what I love. Writing romance has been a life long dream and to actually say that I am a published author is beyond what I would have ever expected.
Even though some may say I have a little naughtiness in my books, I look at it as an added bonus for my readers. After all what is a romance book without a little spice.
When I am not writing, I enjoy spending time with friends either at home or out on the town. Mostly, I enjoy a relaxing night at home where I can enjoy a glass of wine in the company of a good book.
What inspired you to write your book?
I began writing four years ago after leaving the day in and day out life of a 9 to 5 job. Making the move to retire early to do something I am so passionate about as never been a regret. When I began writing the Jagged Edge Series, I wanted to bring something different to my readers. Something that I hoped they would enjoy.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Feeling his body move, I rolled over and watched as his eyes began to open. I was pretty sure the magnificent color in his gray eyes was because of the reflection of the sun shining through the blinds that were slightly drawn. Placing my hand on his cheek, I said softly. “I could stare at you for hours.”
With a small chuckle, he smiled, “Only hours? Because I could look at you for days, maybe even years.”
His words were the sweetest thing I had ever heard. I leaned in, meaning only to give him a short kiss, but his arms wrapped around my body and soon I was on my back with his strong sexy body hovering above me. Gently moving the hair that had fallen in my face, he whispered softly, “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on.”
Without another word, his mouth was over mine and the warmth of his tongue slipped between my waiting lips. I may have been overly excited, but I pulled him even closer, deepening our kiss. I was mystified by my own desire for this man as the thought of what would happen next sent my head into a wild swirl. Frantically going at each other like we would disappear into dust in a matter of seconds, our clothes were off and scattered everywhere in the room.
Lou slowly moved his mouth from mine, trickling soft, unrushed kisses down my neck to the swell of my breasts. The warmth of his mouth on my skin sent a wave of unbridled sensations down to the tip of my toes. If this was the beginning of something wonderful and beautiful between us, I never wanted it to end. Just as I was reeling in my blissful thoughts, Lou gently bit on the tip of my taut nipple. Although it wasn’t painful, it made my body jolt with pleasure. He exchanged the small nip with a soft, but very effective, swirl of his tongue, causing a surge of wetness to pool between my legs. It was only when his mouth completely surrounded the sensitized bud that my back came off of the bed, needing more of what he was offering
Feeling as though my body was going to burn with the tingling heat running through it, in a heated breath, I pleaded, “Please, Lou.”
