Fearless Love is my newest Konigsburg book, due out sometime this year from Samhain Publishing. I just signed the contract last week, so this is in the nature of a quick preview. The MS is far from final, but I’m guessing the following sentences will be in it. My hero is Joe LeBlanc, the sexy chef […]
Here’s a bit more from my first Konigsburg book, Venus In Blue Jeans. Docia and Cal (my h/h) are headed off to a dance where the citizens of Konigsburg are dressing up like the town’s earlier residents. This is Cal’s first sight of Docia in her costume. The black satin top covered Docia’s upper body […]
Venus In Blue Jeans was my first book for Samhain. It features a hero and heroine, Cal Toleffson and Docia Kent, who are both more than six feet tall (in Cal’s case, way more). In this scene they’re sizing each other up, so to speak. “The national ideal is five-foot-three-inch blond women who fit into […]
Six sentences from my latest Konigsburg book, Don’t Forget Me. The hero and heroine, Nando and Kit, are former lovers who broke up. Kit left Konigsburg for San Antonio, but now she’s back. And this is Nando’s first sight of her on Main Street. Hell, he didn’t even want her to see him just yet, not […]
Here’s another bit from Brand New Me. It follows on from the six sentences from a couple of weeks ago–Deirdre’s dance with Tom. And this is what she feels like when the dance is over. He brought her upright again slowly in the midst of the noise and applause. She felt her face growing warm. […]
Okay, here’s a bit from Brand New Me, Konigsburg, Book 5. My hero, Tom, has just pulled my heroine, Deirdre, out on the dance floor. Deirdre’s been trying to ignore the heat between them. Up until now, that is. Tom maneuvered her expertly around a swaying couple, his hand moving down slightly to the side […]
Here’s more from my fourth Konigsburg book, Long Time Gone. This follows right after last week’s excerpt, which, you may recall, was the first kiss between my hero, Erik, and my heroine, Morgan. Both are still a little taken aback by the whole thing. But not so taken aback that they’re not ready to do it […]
Here’s a bit from Long Time Gone, which won an RT Reviewer’s Choice Award last year. My hero, Erik, Konigsburg chief of police, is in the process of kissing the heroine, Morgan, for the first time. And it’s sort of a surprise for both of them. Somewhere his brain went on red alert: Danger, danger, […]
Here’s another bit from Be My Baby. It’s part of the heroine’s speech to her nasty, potentially kidnapping former mother-in-law. Go, Jess! Jess stood slowly, wiping her palms on her thighs. She met Lydia’s basilisk gaze one more time. “Listen to me, old woman. You will never get my son, never. Even if you manage […]
Be My Baby is the closest I’ve come so far to romantic suspense. My hero and heroine, Lars and Jess, are both single parents fighting off a very determined kidnapper. In this excerpt, they’ve both just gone through a shock and are, well, recovering together. Jess’s fingers moved to his chest again, rippling through his […]
