He worked out very early in his private gym at the office, so I planned to catch him then. I soon found myself walking straight down the hall to the gym connected to his office. I swung open the door and there was my insanely attractive man without a shirt on, working on the weights that build the upper back muscles. He was sweaty and glistened in the light. His eyes grew large when I walked in. The attraction was electric. I walked around the rowing machine straight toward him and stopped dead. No greetings were uttered, just silence. For a moment, we stared at each other. He released the weights, grabbed the white towel from around his neck and wiped his moist forehead and face. “Brea?” He looked at me and waited. “How ar...

Chapter 16             We were standing on a pristine-white beach. I could yet to see the surroundings. All I could see was white sand everywhere and my focus on the man in front of me: Evan. He was on bended knee. He held out the most unusual ring. It was not a traditional engagement ring. Instead it was white gold with an S-shaped top that had a larger semi-circle. Placed within the setting sat a Tiger Eye stone, a protective gem made of metamorphic rock that was golden brown with a silky luster. He extended the ring box and smiled. I reached down and first touched his hands and fingers around the box, then I gently plucked the ring. Evan grabbed my arm. He used his other hand to pull out a sheet of paper, and he began to read it to me: Love is never ending Our souls are one You are my other half You are my sun My stars My guiding light The universe The planets I will always love you Eternity ha...

One of the things I adore about the forthcoming 3L Publishing book Vengeance is Now by Scott D. Roberts is the humor. Scott and I are very good friends, and he makes me laugh all of the time. He has a brilliant sense of humor and an incredible wit, and it shines through in the work. Here are some of what I consider to be the funny and priceless moments from the book that officially releases into the bookstores in May 2013. It will be available for advanced pre-sales on the 3L Publishing website at www.3LPublishing.com. “And that tofu shit you eat,” said Ramon, “looks like cum Jell-O, bro.” “No one asked you to eat it,” answered Steve after taking a crisp bite from his apple. “And you’ll change your mind when you go for angioplasty before you’re 35.” “Fuck that shit, bro,” joked Ramon. “I’m a machine.” “Shut up, Tate,” she said. “You worked homicide for Chris ‘sakes.”  “Twenty-year-old women don’t say ‘Chris ‘sakes’,” teased Tate. “You sound like a grandma...

3L Publishing is so excited that erotic-thriller Vengeance is Now by new novelist Scott D. Roberts is almost ready to go on press. The book has been a labor of love for the writer, and I have been working closely with him for months to get it nailed down and perfect. Roberts is a gifted writer and a natural talent. Much of the dialog and interactions are often priceless and funny. The dark quality of the book -- and Roberts' ability to lead us into the mind of a serial killer while at the same time creating an authentic, funny and flawed character in his hero Tate Halloway, police detective turned "man-whore" turned private investigator, makes Vengeance is Now   the book to buy in 2013. I am impressed with Roberts ability to switch back and forth between the creepy, gory and disturbing chapters into action, sex, humor and intrigue. I can't reveal too much about the book quite yet (who is the serial killer ... you will be hard pressed to figure that one out). In ...

All right, so we've had over 400 views on the California Girl Chronicles trailer. I need to keep promoting it, so please make sure you cl ick here to view it. It's hot! and sexy!  The following is an excerpt for the second book in the series, Brea's Big Break. Enjoy! Book two is set to release in summer 2012. Kale soon returned to Arizona for more on-set work. Other staffers from the office went with him so the place was quiet. I didn’t mind. I was able to get a lot of work done, and believe me, the pile of notes for rewrites had only grown. I’d heard, though, that they were actively casting the movie and that Johnny, the hot man I’d met in the hallway, had won the Drew part. As I rewrote Drew’s scenes, I wondered if he would see the movie. It occurred to me as I wrote the female lead that her words might make him feel the least bit repentant, but somehow I doubted it since Drew never expressed remorse. I was staring out my office window thinking about this when I h...
