TOO HOT TO HANDLE

NEVER TOO LATE FOR LOVE is part of several connected books and features a 47-year-old heroine, Tiffany from Heart's Desire. She is one of my best characterizations ever, I think.

THE LOOK OF LOVE. Award winning and envelope-breaking. The heroine weighs over 200 pounds and she's quite unhappy about it, but comes to terms with it at the end. It's a very realistic book. There's something a little off about a 250-pounder thrilled with her weight in this society. It's also has humor to relieve and balance the inner angst. Great secondary characters and a strong take-no-guff heroine carry this book.

A MAGICAL MOMENT has a strong murder mystery thread, with a psychic heroine and paranormal overtones. The heroine is one of my best, I think., psychic, eccentric outspoken Taylor, Kara's friend from Heart's Desire.

LOVE'S CELEBRATION is a little different. It's a frothy on-the-run story and a Kwanzaa holiday story. I took pains to explain Kwanzaa, because I realize that a lot of people know little about it. I didn't want to lecture through the book, so I put an informational section in the front and recipes in the back. It has a holiday fantasy flavor, thus a somewhat improbable plot. A secondary relationship brings comic relief.

An extra large portion of the HEART'S DESIRE, with the nipple stroking made infamous by a horrified romance site owner. You'll also be gratified to know that I didn't leave out the oral sex scene that the same person duly noted with squeals of disgust. (It was her first romance read with black folk in it and she was shocked, I tell you, absolutely shocked, that we could act so badly. My goodness, she could hardly tell us from white folk. It's definitely not my best book, but it's one of the closest to my heart. It's a little tongue-in-cheek, a subtle soap opera parody, but most folk with some insight and a sense of humor get it and enjoy the ride as they go along. Check it out.

MIDNIGHT BLUE is my first book. I have my most traditional romance heroine here, beautiful, perfecty. The narrative is fast paced. People tell me it's a page turner.
