She's checked it twice. And as far as I can tell most everyone on it is naughty - including me! Amy's Top Picks for 2011 includes my last release, Out Of The Blue. Big thanks to Amy, and I'm thrilled she enjoyed it enough to give it an honourable mention.

Inspired by all the hours spent knee-deep in snow, it'll give you something to think about the next time Mr. Plow comes along and ruins all your hard work.

Some great news -- last week I signed a contract for a short story titled, "Safe For Work" to be included in an upcoming Cleis anthology, Irresistible: Erotic Romance for Couples.
