Sunday Six

For this week's SSS on thought I do my most recent Ellora's Cave book as in two weeks I will be heading to Romanticon! I am very excited.



I'll be there for the entire conference, but if you're in the Akron Ohio are Ellora's Cave is having a HUGE booksinging/sale at the Ramanda downtown Akron and it's open free to the public, as long as you're over 18.

I'll be sigining there that day.






So the setup for this weeks is the heroine, Angela has the hots for her postman and he's delivering something C.O.D.




“Twelve fifty exactly,” he smiled up at me again, those chocolate eyes raking my body. My nipples hardened under his appreciative gave, my blood firing and my body humming with anticipation. He was looking at my outfit. My tennis outfit that consisted of a short, pleated, white skirt and halter top.

“Going to hit a few balls?” he asked innocently.

I tried not to choke at his remark.

Happy April!

No, I won't be posting anything April Foolish today. I'm not fond of the day, probably because I'm usually the dupee rather than the duper ... errr whatever. LOL! I got the cover for INCARNATE my Samhain Publishing release this summer, but alas I can't share it's goodness with you until it's approved... let's just say I cried. Literally bawled like a baby. It's PERFECT. Incarnate is being release under my alter ego A.C. Ruttan. I also had a wonderful review for MALE ORDER at Sizzling Hot Books the other day. Thank you ladies! They are delightful over there, we had a bit of discussion about the "inspiration" for Male Order. I also participated in a Radio Interview with Desmond Haas, but it went live when I was out of town for my husband's grandmother's funeral. So you can check it out here. I'm still playing catchup from said funeral. I'm working on my newsletter as we speak! I'm so glad Spring is here and that April is here, besides April bringing dental surgery. Boo! How are you?

New Release

WOOT! The day just escaped me, but today my Quickie MALE ORDER was released from Ellora's Cave.

I've been pretty quiet, I had a bit of health scare, but I'm OK as I can be. I've been diagnosed with Crohn's. I had been so ill and in pain for a month. They searched for everything from pregnancy (ACK!!!) to cancer(double ACK).

I am feeling much better since I started eating low residue, which means basically keeping away from fiber, soda, fats. I have to seed and peel all of my fruits and veggies. I haven't had broccoli in forever. Regardless, it was totally worth it and I have been losing baby weight ... not the rapid weight from starving. Crohn's doesn't allow your body to absorb anything. Your bowels are damaged and you become malnourished. Some with Crohn's end up with countless surgery as strictures form. Luckily I wasn't that bad and I quickly changed, because I want to avoid surgery and pain.

And the plus side, my kids are really enjoying the new meals. They absolutely gobbled up Chicken & Eggplant Parmesan.

Anyways, that's where I'm at. I hope you all enjoy Male Order.

March ... really?

I can't believe it's March ... and the fact we're already 4 days in. YIKES.

I have been crazy busy. I have a new joint blog I share with Anya Richards called Uninhibited History

I also sold a Scottish historical romance to Eternal Press. WOOT!

I have five releases out this year. The first of the five MALE ORDER is coming out on March 16th, 2011 from Ellora's Cave.

And that's about it in a nutshell ... for now. How are you doing?

Year in retrospect

It's been a wild year as I tried to clamour out of a funk and get back after 2009 knocked me off my feet with a high risk pregnancy and absolutely no writing.

2010 my Muse came back--well, really she returned in June of 2009 after I delivered, but I needed that time to get WIPs finished and books written to get ready for 2010.

I had four releases in 2010:


ENEMY ENCHANTRESS a re-release of Enchantress The Fey was released in July of 2010 from Eternal Press.

















SORCERESS FROM THE SEA which is a re-release of Enchantress The Sorceress released in September 2010 from Eternal Press.












HEALER OF THE HEART released from Eternal Press in December 2010.























GLADIATOR'S REVENGE from Ellora's Cave released in December 2010, which was a long awaited redubt to EC. My last release with EC was February 2009 with Hard Candy.











I also made a couple sales which will be coming out in 2011:

MALE ORDER a Quickie from Ellora's Cave
GLADIATOR'S ATONEMENT coming from Ellora's Cave

AND my debut under my paranormal/urban fantasy name A.C. Ruttan INCARNATE is coming from Samhain Publishing.

I also had a freebie HOLLOW by A.C. Ruttan which is available here

My site and blog were redesigned and I lurve them. That is my year in a nutshell. It's been a crazy one, but a great one. Now, if I can only match the releases for next year to this past one. I have a good head start with 3. LOL!

Happy New Years my friends.
