PEACE IS FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
And Coalition starship admiral Brit Bandar is one tough woman. A mere intergalactic treaty could never get her to trust the Drakken Horde. There was too much bad blood between the Coalition and the Horde and, for intensely personal reasons, Brit wasn’t sure that she was through spilling it! But now a peaceful accord has made Finn Rorkken, a notorious Drakken rogue, second-in command on her starship – and through some grand cosmic irony – front and center in her thoughts…and her heart.

WARLEADER. PIRATE.
Either title sat easily on Finn’s battle-hardened shoulders. Though second-in-command to “Stone-Heart” Bandar? That would take some getting used to. Peace required as much sacrifice as war, so he’d comply even if his reaction to the gorgeous admiral fell decidedly outside protocol. But would he end up kissing or killing her if the galaxy’s tentative truce turned into all out war?

I met Tawny Taylor briefly in 07 at RT. But this year at RT I got to spend a bunch of time with her and I tell you she’s like all kinds of awesome. Here is her latest book out now!! GO AND BUY IT! WILL YOU LIKE IT!

DARK MASTER is officially released. At last! You can buy your copy from online retailers (Amazon, Barnes and Noble) or at your favorite brick and mortar store today!

SURRENDERING COMPLETELY ALWAYS LEADS TO…

Completely broke, Regan Roslund is stuck selling bondage gear to a kinky clientele in order to pay her bills. She has no interest in her salacious merchandise until she feels a leather choker tight against her neck–and gets a glimpse of the muscular, model-gorgeous man who holds her captive. Suddenly, temptation ignites…

THE MOST INTENSE PLEASURE…

Newly crowned king of the undead, Shadow Sorenson knows he can protect himself by taking a wife. He hopes Regan, with her new-found curiosity, will be unable to resist obeying even his most deviant demand. But Shadow would prefer she surrender willingly. For thirty nights, he’ll show Regan what it’s like to lose control as he explores every inch of her naked flesh, leaving her hungry for release–and moaning in anticipation of an ecstasy she never knew existed…

Warning! This is a REALLY HOT book (Sexually Explicit)

“A thoroughly entertaining tale by a talented new voice.” Kate Douglas

Yup, I admit it, the show is one of my guilty pleasures. I’ve watched the last 4 cycles. And I have to say this cycle was my favorite because of the winner…

Finally, a full figured model has been crowed America’s Next Top Model.

Yeah! I was rooting for her from day 1, and she did it!

I think it says something finally in the fashion industry, that women don’t have to be rail thin and a size 0 to be drop dead gorgeous and able to represent the fashion industry.

This girl is gorgeous and has curves and boobs and hips and a butt.

Hail to the juicy booty!!!

CBS axed one of my favorite shows MOONLIGHT. I can’t believe their stupidity. That show rocked out loud.

Just watching Alex O’Loughlin every week was enough for me. That smile of his… le sigh.

I hope another company picks it up. Yeah, I’m talking to you CW. Or how about the Scifi Channel. You guys have all the cool shows anyway, you might as well add Moonlight to your killer lineup.

I only have two shows left that I watch faithfully…SUPERNATURAL and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. And it’s sad because this is BSG’s last season. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

If you’re looking for a quick read that’s dark and sexy, look no further than Michele Hauf’s RACING THE MOON

This is the first book in the NOCTURNE BITES line. Short stories sold as ebooks. It’s a great way to try out a new author, and an even better way to learn more about the author’s world they’ve built.

My first BITE will be out in September, called MAHINA’S STORM. It’s a short sexy tale about Captain Mahina Garner of the Necropolis Police Department. See who I match her up with!! Look for that in September.

Right now, buy Michele’s awesome story (which I LOVED) for only $.89. Go here to check it out!

RT ROCKED.

I had a fantastic time. Despite the renos at the hotel, which barely fazed me, everything was amazing. The people, the place, the parties. All good good stuff.

Here are my top highlights of RT:

1. hanging with my BFF Kimberly Kaye Terry

2. meeting my agent Laura Bradford

3. selling out at the bookfair in 45 minutes

4. co-moderating the mutlicultural and AA panels with Kim, and being able to meet so many awesome people like Maureen Smith, AC Arthur, Gwen Bolton, LA Banks, Marjorie Lui, and the incomparable Brenda Jackson

5. being on a panel with Caridad Pineiro and JR Ward and not looking like a complete dork

6. hosting a HUGE party with my friends the Allure Authors - Sylvia Day, Delilah Devlin, Myla Jackson and Sasha White, having 400 people rush us all at once…very awesome!

7. hanging with the Bradford Bunch - Megan Hart, Lauren Dane, Anya Bast (her sexy super secret agent man) and Ann Aguirre

8. partying with Joy Harris and her evil almost twin sister Nat, whom I managed to convert into a romance novel reader by giving her one of my books. MWAHAHA

9. talking with thriller writer Barry Eisler, he’s damn charming I must say

10. having breakfast with Michelle Buonfiglio of Lifetimetv, I adore her, then her surprising me with an interview for them, I was in heaven, the camera and sound guys were very cute!

11. saying hi and goodbye to Tawny Taylor like 5 times, adore her and am thrilled I got a chance to get to know her well

12. traveling with two of my chapter mates, Jade Buchanan and Lauren Hawkeye, getting to know them really well, they are two fantastic traveling partners

13. going to a gay club with MH, LD, KKT, AB (and SSSAM), but ending up at some other place, good times, good times!

14. seeing and talking to readers, having people actually crazy excited to see me, that’s very cool

15. seeing new friends and old friends like, Marianne LeCroix, Karen Erickson, Lillian Feisty, Danica, Lorie and Rae from eharlequin, Debby (she thought Rhy and I were crazy with our juice love) Felicia (I hope Inferno was worth the wait), Jaynie, Shelley Bradley (love her, she’s so classy and down to earth) Beth Williamson (one of my favorite people), Terri Pray (good luck on your full to Kensington)

16. finally meeting some awesome UF authors that I love - Kelley Armstrong, Jackie Kessler, Mark Henry (who brought a book for me because he read on my blog that I wanted to read it so bad) Richelle Mead, Jeri Smith-Ready (love love love her), Jenna Black (whom I’ve adored for many years), Keri Arthur, and Rachel Vincent who is so sweet. I also got a chance to talk with their agent Miriam Kriss. A fantastic lady who I admire.

17. and finally I got to meet my first ever fan Claudia McCray who was the first person to email me and tell me how much she loved my work…in particular an ebook called Blood Red about little red riding hood, from 4 years ago. I’ve actually rewritten that book and it will be coming out again but this time from EC

I’m probably forgetting a bunch of amazing people that I met but I am surviving on one brain cell right now. Maybe it will all come back to me in an embarrassing whoosh.

I have to say I am already planning for Orlando and CAN NOT wait. The organizers of RT, Jo Carol, Carol Stacy, and the lovely Kathryn Falk, are amazing people that I fully support.

I will have pictures, I jsut couldn’t get them to post here for some reason….
