Happy New Year! How many resolutions have you already broken? I've got a few crossed off my list :D

The Man from H.A.T.H.O.R. released from Phaze yesterday. I am so stoked over this story because I got to exercise a few of the things I learned in my Egyptology from a while back. If you've already read it, let me know what you think!

With Valentine's Day around the corner, I wanted to remind you all the idea for Bound to Love was sparked by a fun custom in England. On Valentine's Day, secret admirers give gifts with clues to their identities. The receiver must be clever enough to guess the giver and claim their prize of a night of love and romance. If you're looking for a bite-sized treat to get you in the mood for a special night with your honey, head over to Ocean's Mist Press and purchase Bound to Love.

On the personal front, I've been offered a new day job which I'll be taking. Sadly, it means moving away from home, but I'll still be in driving distance. This is a good thing as I'll still be close enough to spoil the heck out of my nieces and nephews. What this means to my readers is that my current writing projects are going to be on hold for a bit while I settle in, but I will have a free super short story coming out from Phaze at some point in the near future. I'll announce that here when it's available.

Wishing you and and yours a sexy and safe Valentine's Day!

Engagingly yours,
Kelly




BOOKS

 

Bound to Love cover A servant of the Ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor for four millennia, Akhet-en's continued survival depends on his rescuing an ancient set of papyri from pre-eminent Egyptologist, Dr. Eloisa Brown.

Eloisa figures a one night stand with a hot hunk is just one more step on the road to recovery from a crushing divorce. She just doesn't expect him to be as old as the antiquities studies.

Multiple O's from RRT Erotic

BOUND TO LOVE is wildly romantic, a sweet, spicy, satisfying nibble, and the imagery is smooth. Read and smile. I recommend it.

4 Hearts from The Romance Studio

Ms. Maher is an accomplished author who can deliver an entertaining story with few words. She takes two main characters, and with very little interaction with others, produces a highly erotic plot which is not only entertaining, but explores the wonder of instant attraction. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read a quick tale of sexual fulfillment.

INDULGE AUTHORS NEWS

I'm running the January contest over at the Indulge Authors' e-mail loop. Here are the details!

In my upcoming book from Phaze, my heroine Eloisa decides she needs to clean out some bad memories from her recent divorce. Aki Hathoren, a man she's just met, sends her dormant hormones into overdrive and she thinks would be perfect for a one night stand. Little does she know he's as old as the Ancient Egyptian artifacts she studies.

What to do:
I want you all to tell me if you could weed one thing from your life, and have it be virtually painless, what would it be and why? I'm disallowing weight as I've yet to meet someone who likes her body *exactly* as it is. One entry per person, but please share as much as you want :)

Here's the prizes:
The Big one (AKA 1st winner) - HORUS GOBLET from The Pyramid Collection - http://tinyurl.com/yxmnlh

**NOTE: It's shown with the Isis goblet, but you'll only be getting the Horus goblet if you win. And that's because Horus makes an appearance in "The Man from H.A.T.H.O.R."

The Still-Pretty-Damn-Good one (AKA 2nd winner) - Free download of "The Man from H.A.T.H.O.R.", my January 14th release from Phaze
