Scandalous comes out at Samhain Publishing. Have you seen the cover for Scandalous? Oh, you haven’t? Well, let me clue you in:
It’s…scandalous isn’t it? Let me tell you, my jaw dropped when I first saw it. It’s so naughty! Well, that’s fitting because the story is naughty too. Here’s some blurbage to whet your appetite:
She always got anything she wanted…
Playing with Fire 2
A teenage crush on her big brother’s boyfriend. It was one of the few times in her spoiled-little-sister life that Alexa had to swallow the word “no”. She got over it, or she thought she had—until her brother’s wedding brings Eric back into her life, as flirty and fun as ever. It never mattered to her that he’s gay. Attraction is attraction.
One illicit kiss, and their reconnection blows her mind and rekindles girlish hopes. Then he sets her away from him and runs like hell.
Eric can’t believe that a woman’s touch arouses him. Not just any woman, but sweet Alexa, and he can’t help but want more. Desperate to come clean, he confesses all to his steady boyfriend, Brandon, expecting anger. But Brandon’s intrigued. He wants to meet the woman who’s tied Eric up in knots. With luck, maybe she’ll relight the spark between them.
Alexa may have lost her chance with Eric, but the consolation prize—a fling with him and Brandon, is too tempting to resist. She never expected to love both men, or to secretly yearn to belong to the one who commands her body like no other…
You can read an excerpt here if you’re so inclined. I really enjoy working on the Playing With Fire series. There’s at least one more book in the works. Maybe more, I’m not sure.
So I’m looking forward to Tuesday (August 24th to be exact). Are you?

Here’s my cover for my novella My Favorite Mistake, part of the Tahoe Nights series coming October 12th at Samhain:
I don’t have blurbage yet. Sorry…
My editor calls the guy on the cover my sexy nerd. Ha! It’s true though. The hero in the book is a sexy nerd. Gotta love those quiet guys who wear glasses right? Hmmm…
My novella is coming out along with Anne Rainey’s A Little Bit Naughty and S.L. Carpenter’s Need You Now. I’m in good company right? That’s what I thought.
Watch for all three of them on October 12th!

Have you visited my website lately? It’s been given a makeover. The lovely Emily at Swank Web Style made it so very, very pretty. I love it! Tell me what you think. Do you love it? Like it? Hate it with a fiery red passion? Let me know!
So have you discovered Tumblr? Oh goodness. Oh my. I have resisted for a long, long time and finally I caved in. Wasted (no not wasted!) most of my Sunday afternoon searching gorgeous Tumblr blogs and I’m calling it research. Yes, research because so many of the photos and quotes were inspiring. Isn’t the job of a writer wonderful? To call looking at pretty things research? Ha! I can justify anything.
I have my own Tumblr page – here’s the url: http://karenerickson.tumblr.com/
If you have a page, tell me in comments! Or follow me and I’ll follow you! Yet another site to hang out on right? Oh yeah…
Happy Monday!

Whew I needed a week just to relax from the whirlwind that is known as the RWA National Conference! I had a fabulous time. The vibe at the conference was extremely positive. The hotel was awesome. I made new friends, hung with my old and beloved friends, met my agent, went to parties, went to workshops…I was a busy chick.
But now I’m home. Been hanging with the kids, writing, cleaning and preparing for school to start. A week from today they go back to school. Where did the summer go? I blinked and it was gone! But secretly? I’m ready for them to go back. Getting back on a regular schedule will be good for all of us. Especially me. Ha!
Today I’m doing laundry, mopping the floor (sad face) and writing! What are you up to?
