First, I’m thrilled to report I am ALMOST FINISHED with the first draft of Blood of Eden (yayyyyyy!) It isn’t due until September first, so I will have a full month to edit, edit, edit. That’s exactly how I like it!

And now, the news I’m sure everyone has been waiting for…

First, the title that received the most votes:  A Dark Skye Novel, which narrowly beat out A Sloan Skye Novel.

And the winner of my Pick a Series Title Contest (selected by a random number generator) is….

Congratulations to the winner! And thank you all for your suggestions!

Please check back often! I’ll be running a new contest soon!

This past week, I joined Goodreads under my erotic penname, Tawny Taylor. After taking care of the basics, I spent hours inputting my list of fave reads. It is a time-consuming process, tedious. But it did bring back memories of all the great books I’ve read and enjoyed. Today I thought I’d list the top ten on my keeper shelf (arranged in no particular order). Maybe you’ve read them; maybe not. If not, I hope you’ll discover a great new-to-you author! Without further ado…

1. JR Ward’s Dark Lover

2. MaryJanice Davidson’s Undead and Unwed

3. Katie MacAlister’s You Slay Me

4. Gena Showalter’s The Darkest Night

The second week of July looks like a quiet one for fans of urban fantasy and paranormal romance fiction. I found quite a few releasing the first week and the last but not many in between

Releasing between July 7-13:
