Bella Street Romance Goes Retro

Watch the whole clip here . I know, right? But I've finally released my new book Kiss Me, I'm Yours --the second in the three-book series Tennessee Waltz (book one is Kiss Me, I'm Irish ).  Remember how Kiss Me, I'm Irish was about a girl from the past brought to the present? Kiss Me, I'm Yours is about a woman from the present waking up in the past. When jilted Sophie Bowen stumbles into a stone circle filled with fireflies, she wakes up in a very different place—and time.  Beaten down by Lincoln's War and personal tragedy, Gabriel Merritt feels his life has become a lost cause.   In a post-war South still licking its wounds, Sophie and Gabriel struggle to understand the place they each find themselves in, while fighting a war of attraction. And a mysterious twelve-year-old girl just might hold the key to it all.  Book three, Kiss Me, I'm Home (with some sideways time-travel action), will be out early 2014 if it kills ...

Since the 12/21/12 apocalypse is nigh, you might as well go out in style, right? And who knows, just maybe the Juicy Couture pink velour tracksuit will send you to an alternate universe, thereby giving you a way of escape from impending doom. A time-traveling Juicy suit?? What the heck? This might make a little sense if you've read Apocalypse Babes: The Complete Series . If you haven't, fie for shame! Six full length books available in a set for less than $5? Maybe such a deal is what's really bringing on the apocalypse. If you want to just take a peek at the story, the first book is free for a limited time. Speaking of limited, this is the last year the Juicy suit will be part of the Apocalypse Babes promotion. And you know how bad you want one of these! Check out last year's winner !  And while you're reading the series, imagine yourself in Seffy's shoes...er, her tracksuit. And trust me, you're going to need the soft, pink comfort of high end ...

One of my favorite scenes from Princess Bride was when Fred Savage asked his grandpa (Peter Faulk) "Is this a kissing book?" And he was really, really hoping the answer was no .  And yet what was missing for little Fred when the book ended? Yep. That kiss. And according the S. Morgenstern, “Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.” For me, this is why I read romance novels. I probably wouldn't read it if it wasn't a kissing book. Heck, if my High School text books had some kissing in 'em, I would've gotten better grades!  My favorite screen kiss is from the film Never Been Kissed . They had to get it right, and oh, baby, did they. I still get chills when I watch it. Mmmm mmmm. Kissing is so meaningful because it's the moment when guards are lowered and a tentative test is made--a test with sensitive body parts--the lips.  ...

Isn't that such an enticing question? How many Irishmen have gotten away with it? I'll bet LOTS. And Liam Jackson has the same effect on women, even one from another time. Emily Musgrave has been banished to a convent in Cornwall for what her great aunt calls wayward behavior. The year is 1813. She manages to escape her certain fate during a storm, but falls into a circle of stones and sees a piskie. And every Cornish girl knows what that means--big trouble. When she wakes up, she meets a strange blonde girl who has a way with a fiddle and her brother, a moody Dobro player on the run from unhappy fans. From escaping the convent to joining the musical duo to escape with their lives in the modern day, Emily embarks on a new world where hems are high and morals are low. But all she can think of is kissing the delicious Dobro player, Liam Jackson--even if it means it might send her back to the past. An Amazon reader had this to say: " I loved this story!

"Physicists at the University of Queensland in Australia claim to have discovered time teleportation , no flux capacitors involved: Just like quantum physics allows for teleportation in space , they say that the same is possible in time. Time travel to... the future!" This is how it works (...) imagine an experiment that Ralph and Olson describe in which a qubit is sent into the future. The idea is that a detector acts on a qubit and then generates a classical message describing how this particle can be detected. Then, at some point in the future, another detector at the same position in space, receives this message and carries out the required measurement, thereby reconstructing the qubit. But there's a twist. Olson and Ralph show that the detection of the qubit in the future must be symmetric in time with its creation in the past. "If the past detector was active at a quarter to 12:00, then the future detector must wait to become active at precisel...
