And now it seems as though Summer is nearly over already . . . all thanks to Madame Mommy Dearest, who just had to point out that we're past the "longest day of the year" and each will grow shorter from now on.🌗😰

But it's not over yet, so we're going to squeeze every ounce of enjoyment from it while we can, right?!😎🧉

I suppose you could blame it on Pinky and the Brain  ~ or most importantly, Brain's obsession with taking over the world.🌎 (Long story. Follow me on Twitter, if you want to be in the loop on Pinky and the Brain references.🐀🐁🤯😉)

But I say it's all the fault of a couple of writer friends, who thought it would be great to "team up" and do something "fun" together.🙋‍♀️🙆‍♀️🤷‍♀️ 

And so, I am working on a sexy, sassy novella connected to stories from the wild and wicked minds of @Lexxie_Couper and @HeidiShoham.🧠💋🥳

Lex and Shoham are the best, and so much fun to work with! (Hey, they got the "fun" part right, at least.😁) Tossing around ideas, seeing what we come up with and how we can build on each others' projects has been a blast.💥 I'm loving my story and characters already, too . . . especially the part where we're all supposed to get hot-and-heavy as quickly and for as long as possible.💏

My only worry is that Lexxie has put her foot down with a deadline that's approaching rather quickly.😱 So I'm writing like the wind, doing my best to avoid any punishments she might have lined up . . . or miss my chance to be linked with these ladies on a collection I know readers are going to love!💗💗💗

I can't wait to share the details with you, but in the meantime . . . wish me luck!🤞😬

The Heat Is On . . .

Or at least it could be!😍🔥

This month, I'll be gifting one lucky winner with a copy of Jill Shalvis's The Heat Is On ~ the original paperback from Harlequin Blaze, which is now out-of-print, fyi.😉

This also happens to be a favorite of mine, so whoever wins is definitely in for a steamy Summer treat.🍧
