The Amazon Boycott

Are you participating in the Amazon Boycott? Officially the boycott, or “blackout”, runs from March 7-14, 2025, but some activists have stated the boycott should last as long as a month. The boycott aimed at Target stores started March 5th, and will be for forty days to coincide with Lent.

The purpose of the boycotts is to send a message to companies that abandoning diversity, equity, and inclusion is regressive and unacceptable. Billionaires have manipulated the American economy and profited off the working class for far too long. So working people are taking action.

If you’ve decided you do not want to purchase ebooks, audiobooks, or paperbacks from Amazon, here are some other places you can get books: Continue reading →

Contemporary shorts re-released!

Posted on by

I have just released the remaining four of my contemporary romance short stories — An Academic Pursuit, Object, Silent Sky, Window Display — as ebook singles!

Each short story was previously published in various anthologies. In 2019, I republished all four, plus Orcas, in my Modern Shorts collection. Orcas was re-published as an e-short in 2021 along with the other Stories from the San Juan Islands. I have been wanting to release the other four contemporary stories as their own e-short, and just got around to starting it in December 2024. Continue reading →

Getting to know me: The Smut Report 2023

Posted on by

This re-post of an interview I did with The Smut Report is the fifth in a series of blog interviews I’ve done over the years. The first post explains my purpose.

The Smut Report Interview

Today’s post is from a 2023 interview I did for The Smut Report with the goal of promoting my Harwell Heirs series. At the time, I had just released Book 4, A Delicate Seduction, and so applied to The Smut Report for a review of Book 1, The Pleasure Device. They said they would review The Pleasure Device later, but in the meantime, I could do this promo interview called “My First Smut”, so I did. By the way, The Smut Report hated The Pleasure Device. It seems my Victorian erotic romance was too smutty for a website with “smut” in the title! Continue reading →

NaNoNoMore: Artificial Intrusion

Posted on by

I have a story to tell. The first year I participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), 2006, I told a computer programmer friend of mine about the event. If you don’t know, NaNoWriMo is a seat-of-your-pants, self-motivated challenge where you write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. By writing 50,000 words, you become a NaNoWriMo “winner”. My programmer friend said she could write a script in a few minutes that would repeat a word 50,000 times, so would that make her a winner?

Um, no. Continue reading →

Inspiration: Antiquities, Accents, and Together Alone

Posted on by

This is my Discovering Her Delight inspiration post. Warning! There are spoilers ahead for the book. If you don’t mind spoilers, read on. If you don’t like your romance spoiled, read Discovering Her Delight first!

An Initial Inspiration

I started the notes for Discovering Her Delight way back in 2014 (then known as Discovering Her Desire). I knew it was going to be a story centered on an archaeological expedition, I just wasn’t clear on the specifics. An archaeologist friend of mine had a bizarre idea: what if the hero had to write on the heroine’s back?

So I held on to that thought, and it continued to inspire the story. Why would he need to do this? Under what circumstances? And how would he do it in 1881? Continue reading →

Perpetual Pride: All My Queer LGBTQIA+ Stories!

Posted on by

In celebration of Pride Month, which is June of every year, I am writing this post with the expectation that I will update it every June listing all my new Queer / LGBTQIA+ releases! [I might just end up making a page instead, but will let you know right here.]

I write queer main romantic protagonists only in my historicals. Many readers seem to think there were no queer people in the past. Some even think, while there were queer people in the past, they certainly never had a happily-ever-after. Well, I hope my stories reflect that, indeed, there were queer people in the past. In my historical erotic romances, my characters always have happily-ever-afters (an HEA is not an expectation or requirement for erotica).

The below list provides the genre and subgenre and the type of queer representation for each of my stories. Unless otherwise noted by “secondary”, the main protagonists are queer. Continue reading →
