Contemporary mystery released by St. Martin’s 6 Jan 09
The Between-the-Numbers Stephanie Plum books have always been fun but less satisfying that those in the actual series. For one thing, none of the previous three cleared 200 pages. There’s only so much you can put into [...]

Contemporary urban fantasy released by Ace Trade 3 Jun 08
Attention authors! If you’re going to do first person, you may as well go all out and make it a conversation between the reader and your main character. Get personal, colloquial, and current. I normally read [...]

Contemporary Erotic Romance released by 1 Jun 08
Slow Hands first caught my eye because it shares a title with my favorite song of the past five years or so. The blurb grabbed my attention as well, although it featured one of the hoariest setups in TV movies and [...]
