Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've blogged here. I went through a slump, funk, whatever you want to call it, and didn't write for a long time. I can't blame writer's block. It was just life. We're only half way through the year and I've had to face losing my job, losing my soul mate of seventeen years, having to sell our house, take an unplanned but much needed trip home to help the healing process, and so on. I'm not writing this so you'll feel bad for me. It's life. We all have challenges, heartache, and a list of other stuff that we have to deal with. I'm not special.
The good news is I have begun to write again, and it feels so good! I have two books due out in August and hopefully another two due out sometime later in the year. One is my first interracial erotic romance. I have simplified my life big time. Living full time with my daughter and her family have helped. I have my own mother-in-law area of the house where my four felines and I reside. I'm comfortable. As I get older I want less. After all, life is short you know. And I want to spend as much of it with my grandchildren, which I adore, and writing, which is my passion.
The two erotic romances coming out in August are Passionate Encounters, the new and improved and highly sexed up version of Cupid's Arrow. And Hot Spot, a short erotic romance and my second release with Liquid Silver Books. I hope you'll check them out. Below are blurbs, book covers and links.
Passionate Encounters –

Mike Denton knows he’s in big trouble the minute he meets attractive divorcee Emma Stuart. Busy raising a teenage daughter, he doesn’t have time to pursue his own needs until she’s out of high school. That doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy an occasional after noon delight. The only problem is Emma’s not that kind of woman. And her pretty brown eyes and luscious curves lure him into breaking his one hard fast rule of not sleeping with the same woman twice.
Emma thought she was content with her quiet new life down on the lake. That is until a mistake lands the small town’s hunky detective on her door step. As soon as their eyes meet her body responds to his sex appeal in a big way, reminding her she hasn’t had sex in two years. After he leaves she thinks they’ll never see each other again. But what Emma hadn’t counted on was her sister’s match making skills.
Passionate Encounters is the new and improved, highly sexed up version of Cupid's Arrow. Cupid's Arrow was released in 2006 and was on the publisher's best seller's list for two consecutive months.

Hot Spot – 8/13
There’d been something brewing between John and Sammy twenty years ago when they were teenagers. Only good girl Sammy had been too afraid of his bad boy image. Besides, in those days all he'd wanted was sex. She opted for his safer and more predictable brother, Pat. And when they get married, John disappears.
They’re reunited during a family reunion, and the years disappear in the blink of an eye. Seeing him now, as the successful, sexy man he's become, reminds Sammy that they're both free to pursue their attraction for each other that had never fully extinguished. Only giving in to a weekend of hot anywhere, anything goes sex isn't the only thing Sammy faces. She has to come to terms with loving him.

- About the Author
- Posts in the Past
Multi-published romance author. Writing has been a life long passion of mine for years. The encouragement of my family prompted me into submitting to a publisher and the rest is history! My stories are laced with suspense, humor and smouldering sex.
Dear Tory,
What a life saga! But I suppose we all have those valleys between the high points, and it sounds like you have climbed out of yours with grace, dignity, and–judging from these book covers–lots of passion besides! Congratulations!
I'm very sorry for all the thing that have gone on this year, but glad that they've turned around. I can't wait to read these.
