Five Fun Facts

Here are five fun--okay, maybe interesting--facts about After Hours

Five fun facts about After Hours

1. Before I have a name for a character, sometimes I call them he or she. I was almost ready to submit After Hours but still didn’t have a name for the female main character so I switched all the she’s to Elle, which is she in French.


2. After Hours was originally titled Overtime.


3. Elle is in accounting because that was my day job before I started writing full time. I’ve actually tabulated those gas receipts, folks.


4. After Hours contains my first ever male masturbation scene. Via email, my editor suggested I insert a masterbation scene to spice things up a bit. I stressed for about a week, interviewed a male friend and well... Um... how did I do?


5. The dialog between Elle and David at the Christmas party was one of those moments when the characters take the bit and run with it. But boy did I have fight for that Christmas tie afterward.

Ah Duh!

Ever have one of those 'duh' moments? Well, I just did. Why?

How in the world did I not know my books were for sale on Amazon?

After Hours


So, if you've read the book, and you have a few free minutes, I would really appreciate a few reviews. You would make me ever so happy. : )

Thank you.

Four Stars from Whipped Cream!

Yes, that's right and good timing. Even though I've been writing and editing up a storm, because of, well, a lot of things, it feels a little like I'm stalled.


This review from LASR is a needed ray of sunshine. : )

The first review for AFTER HOURS

Yes, I've been sitting on the edge of my seat (metaphorically speaking) waiting for the first review and here it is!

Seriously Reviewed gave AFTER HOURS a 18 out of 20! That's not bad. Heck, that's pretty good! Yay!





In case any of your were worried, I am feeling a lot better. I'm still coughing and tire easily, but I've got this virus on the run. I plan to spend the days between Christmas and New Year writing.

What do you all plan to do?

Today is the Day!

AFTER HOURS is now available today at The Wilder Rose Press.

Can you think of a better way to warm up?

Here's an excerpt:

Some men simply walk across a room, but not David.

Elle Simpson watched from her office as the new intern, his hips moving in a predatory roll, strolled to the copier and stood with his back toward her. No, not David.

She felt the color rise in her cheeks as her gaze traced his body, from the dark hair just curling at the nape of his neck, past wide shoulders, to the dangerous-looking narrow hips and an ass made for grabbing. Her body warmed and her inner thighs began to tingle.

David turned, as though he could sense her scrutiny, and flashed a smile that could short-circuit a city. Hell, it certainly did a number on her. Elle swallowed, hiding behind a noncommittal nod, and hoped she gave the impression she was too busy for pleasantries. Damn. She needed to be more careful.

After many years with the company, she’d earned her reputation as a dependable, hard working, no-nonsense kind of woman. She grimaced. What would her fellow employees think if they knew every time David Nelson walked in the room, Elle’s synapses stopped firing as all the blood left her head to settle between her legs? She shifted on her chair and the friction caused her pussy to ache, reminding her of its neglected state.

Evidently finished with the copier, David gathered his papers and walked back to his cubicle.

Elle tilted her head to better watch him walk down the hall. A damn sexy man. Perhaps he’d been born with some sort of exclusive hip design. It would explain the fluidity of movement.

Elle shrugged. One thing was certain—when David walked into a room, or out of it, he had her undivided attention. She didn’t think he was trying to be sexy, or if he was, the effort had become, well...effortless.
