Nona Knows Romance

I Deserve a Spanking!

admin — Mon, 17 May 2010 02:31:29 +0000

For not updating my site, of course. I had a new release last week, but had been struck ill and couldn’t even muster the strength to update my site. Illness stinks, but today I am here to tell you that I need a spanking for not telling you sooner about my story…about spanking!

I had this short I submitted to Phaze Books, a hot little BDSM number – my first such tale. My editor Kat liked it but was concerned about the length. As it happened, another great Phaze author D. Musgrave had a short BDSM piece, too, so Kat suggested we combine them for a Binary Stars dual release.

I thought, sure! I haven’t been in an anthology yet, so this looked like a great opportunity. You can buy my story at Phaze right now, and the usual channels like All Romance later this week. In the meantime, I’m still working on getting Single Ladies and A Moment on the Lips… which is the sequel to We All Scream in shape.

I’ve been asked by a few readers, while they compliment my stories, when am I going to write a full-length? Well, the good news is I’ve started one! The working title is Swinging With a Star, and can you guess the theme there! The sadder news, it’s going to take some time. I try to get a few hundred words in daily, but real life is a pain when you’re trying to find time to write. I hope the summer will be kind to me.

In the meantime, enjoy “Spank.” I found I liked writing BDSM (I sure enjoyed reading some of it), and I may do some more.

Get Lucky with Nona!

Feeling lucky? For only ninety-nine cents, not quite a pot of gold, you can pick up my St. Patty’s quickie, Get Lucky! It’s a hot little short about a woman who finds a bit of leprechaun gold and gets the wish of a lifetime with a hunky Irishman who definitely doesn’t fit the stereotypical mold.

This short is out now from DLP Books and can be found at the following merchants, too.

ARe * Scribd
Smashwords * 1Romance
Bookstrand

I’m really getting into the holiday shorts, though I still have some longer works to do. Sunny has been shelved indefinitely while I work on a few contracted works with Phaze Books, but after that I’ll return to it. I have a Binary Stars piece that’s a two-fer with author D. Musgrave, a short BDSM spanking story, then the sequel to We All Scream, Dee’s story. Can’t wait til that one comes out!

Interracial Romance in the Comics, Again

admin — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 05:27:00 +0000

A while I noted that the comic strip Funky Winkerbean touched on I/R romance with a BW/WM relationship. I sort of lost track of that storyline, but this evening it was brought to my attention I/R is making the comic book circuit as well. Check this out: could it be our friend Archie has decided not to choose between Betty and Veronica, but is now after one of the Pussycats? I saw it on the Archie website, and you’re seeing it here. That’s a kiss, folks! Now, I haven’t read Archie comics since I was in grade school (don’t recall seeing a lot of Josie stories, though I remember there was a cartoon), and I’d read all the hoopla surrounding the “Archie marries Veronica” thing, so this cover presents a very interesting development. I may just have to pick up this issue for myself.

Yes, I finally jumped off that bridge. I’ve had the Twitter account for a while – hadn’t done much with it because I’ve been writing. I realize, though, I need to concentrate on promo as well. So the other day I signed on for Facebook. You can be my friend there if you like. I also set up a fan page for Interracial Romance, which I hope you will join. It’s connected to another site whose URLs I purchased recently. The original owner was unable to upkeep, so I’m taking over and rebooting to a new site, mainly a place where people can buy I/R romances. I’m still trying to figure out how to get more eBooks up there, so we’ll see how it goes. I love the genre and am happy to help promote my fellow writers!

Coming very, very soon…Better Than Chocolate!

So I’ve had this short interracial menage in my “shelved” folder for a while – one of those stories you know would be hot in the right editing hands, but you weren’t quite sure what to do with it. Since I have a good thing going with Phaze Books now, one title out and at least two on the way, I thought to send it my editor for an opinion. To my great pleasure, she loved it and offered a contract. Only thing is, the next available slot on the schedule was a bit too far away for my tastes.

I have We All Scream coming out next month, and Single Ladies in 2010, but it seems like there’s been a huge gap since Drawn to You came out. In romance publishing especially, I realize the importance of building that backlist and keeping readers alert. I know some eBook authors who have a new release every month – all novel length! I applaud their dedication and wish I had the time to be so prolific. To do that, I need to sell more books, and consequently write more. What a Catch-22!

So Better Than Chocolate, this menage, I wanted out sooner, and luckily my editor proposed an alternative – to release it independently through her private imprint, DLP Books. There are advantages to doing this – there will still be distribution through the regular eBook channels, and I’ll be helping her too by providing a new name and a title so DLP can distribute through channels that require five authors or ten titles. In the meantime, I can continue to write for submission to other houses, too. In fact, Phaze is interested in a BDSM short I proposed earlier, so we’ll see how that goes.

You may be able to get Better Than Chocolate very soon, hope you find it sweet and satisfying!

New title coming soon!

Here’s a sneak peek at the cover for my upcoming MMF interracial erotic romance, Sunny! I’ll have more details on the story soon, including when and where you’ll be able to buy it.

In the meantime, I’m finished with We All Scream and an excited for the pending release through Phaze Books. Need to touch up Single Ladies, and then it’s on to the next story. I’m still debating on NaNoWriMo, I have a great idea for it, but we’ll see how things play out.
