I believe it’s all good to announce I just signed my eighth contract with Samhain for a novella that will kick off a sexy new series about couples who meet in unusual ways.

The first one has the same title as this Rhianna song:

“Under my umbrella…ella…ella…ella…”

Would my readers like another book in the Playing With Fire series? I’ve been toying with an idea in my head that involves Austin’s sister and Austin’s former boyfriend and his current boyfriend (yeah, more naughtiness). Oooh, and the book would start at a wedding reception. What do you think?

Do you believe in them? I really don’t. I know I’ve blogged about them before but I’ve been thinking about them these last few days of the new year. How excited I am that a brand new year is about to unfold. 2009 hasn’t been the best year for me and so right now 2010 seems so very full of promise.

I think I’m going to make a goal list. Nothing too crazy but it does need to be somewhat specific so I can actually accomplish something. Now I need to take the time and really think it over. What are my goals, both personally and professionally? What do I need to do and have to accomplish them? Hmmm…

Do you do the New Year resolution thing? Make a list of goals? I did a five year goal plan back in 2005 (thanks Debbie Macomber at the Reno RWA conference!) and I accomplished four out of five. A five year plan doesn’t sound like a bad idea either…

Hey another free story is available today! The lovely Christine D’Abo (and she is lovely, trust me) is the author of Holiday Traditions. Check it!

Santa checked his list and decided you all have been nice this year. So I’m going to share my freebie Christmas stories with you because everyone loves a free read right? Right!

First up is an oldie but a goodie, Hot Santa. I wrote this two years (!!) ago and it’s a sexy (but not erotic) read.

Here’s the blurb:

Megan can’t believe her best friend dragged her to the Ho Ho Hot Santa contest. It’s beyond embarrassing with all of the muscled men flaunting their goods in red velvet shorts and Santa hats. Then Megan spies Drew on stage and thinks he fills out his shorts just fine. He’s gorgeous, he’s sweet – is he the Christmas gift she’s been looking for?

This story ties in with my book Santa Baby so if you want to find out Beverly’s story, it’s available at Cobblestone Press. 

Click on the cover to start reading!

Next up is my story that was released on the Samhellion website last year as a holiday freebie entitled All I Want For Christmas:

Waitress Holly Watson wants frequent customer and super hottie Seth Manning for Christmas. Will he make her holiday wishes come true?

Last but not least is my favorite Christmas story I’ve ever written, Fairies & Wishes. Oh, how I love this little novella. It was fun to write and such a gorgeous cover.

Lily is a holiday fairy, but this Christmas season she’s given a new assignment – teach a lonely doctor how to love again.

Tim finds the holidays depressing and always throws himself into his work to forget the pain. One night he runs into a beautiful redhead and knocks her to the ground. His new patient is a little odd, but totally sexy.

He starts a relationship with the mysterious Lily but things don’t add up. Is she what she seems? Does he want to fall in love with a woman he knows nothing about? Oh, yes he does…

pssst — You can find both Santa Baby and Fairies & Wishes over at Fictionwise for forty percent off! Woot! (huh and it’s not showing up but you can click on the word “Fictionwise” and it’ll send you right over there. Stupid Wordpress…
