Happy New Year!!!

Hey Sexy Readers!  Hope you have had a 2013 full of amazing books.  I'd love to hear what your favorite books of 2013 were.

I've read a lot of great books in a lot of genres this year, and it is hard to list favorites, partially because my memory is a little shifty and I know I'll be forgetting to list some of the great books I've read.  Well, I'll give it a shot anyway.  Here are some of the great books I've read this year. 

NOS4A2 by Joe Hill- Fantastic story-telling! Creepy and awesome.  I also recommend Horns and Heart-Shaped Box by the same author.  

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein- A book I'm guessing will stay on my "favorite books of all time" list.  As the list would suggest, for all time.  It was incredibly great.  

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt- Witty, great story, really interesting use of language suited to the period.  Loved it! 

Winter Blues by Jade Goodmore- No good guys, no bad guys.  Real people dealing with tough situations, attraction, disconnection, re-connection. and the messiness that is live and love.  

Unbound by Cara McKenna- A female character who has been through and continues going through some pretty amazing changes in her life.  A unique male lead.  A pretty spectacular connection for both of them.  

Only for You by Genna Rulon- A book that does a great job of integrating witty, sexy, funny with some pretty serious and important topics.  Addresses the culture of violence and the important role of the bystander, and challenges victims face in a way I found completely refreshing.  

Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris- Love him.  Love everything he writes.  This is no exception.  

Exposure by Iris Blaire- My only problem with this awesome piece of sexual-tension-laced goodness is that it wasn't longer.

AUTHOR BIO

Not to stray from the common Author cliché, I loved to read as a child – I actually excelled in reading from a young age.  This was definitely to my advantage.  In saying that I only enjoyed reading “happily ever after stories.”

As I grew older my pleasures turned to “teen romance stories” with the obvious transition being heavy love stories and of course Jackie Collins’ novels.

Then due to relationship and work commitments my reading all but ceased until my children were at an age where I could steal and hour or two (which then became and hour or four). 

A few years ago I discovered the Twilight Saga, this kept my thoroughly entertained for years as I read and re-read numerous times… Enter 50 Shades.

Whilst I was a little fearful to read this erotic tale, something tugged at my inner thoughts and I succumbed, like everyone around me falling for the likes of one Christian Grey. 

I continued from that moment reading many many stories and getting involved with Indie Authors from around the globe – something then happened to me.  I awoke one Saturday morning with a whole story fixed in my mind.  This had happened to me a lot over the years but this story was so clear and concise and I acted on in with the inspiration of the Indie Authors.

That’s when my first novel Majestic Pearls was born – it has grown from there and is a beautifully work in progress.  In the interim, I wrote my current story, a novella entitled Que Sera Sera.

When I'm not at my desk, I'm reading – beta reading, or just plain reading.  As a full time mother and wife my life is very full.  My other passion, other than writing and family is Music … music from yesteryear is my genre.
