These are my kids.

These are my kids after a Disneyland high.

Any questions?

Tonight I’ll be packing up the kids and taking them to Orange County, which is only 45 mins. from here. We’ll spend the next three nights in a hotel and go to Disneyland on Mon. and Knott’s Berry Farm on Tues.

They’re :bounce: :cheer: and I’m :cafe: LOL, but we’ll have fun for sure. I’ll take pics on my cell phone to share with you. And I’ll have my tiny new laptop with me (I do have a looming deadline…) so you can keep on e-mailing me. I’ll reply in the evenings (while enjoying the Manager’s Hosted Reception… :beer: )

My first of many RT ads appears in the January issue. It’s very pretty. However, having received the magazine tonight, I must say I’m disappointed that an ad featuring 3 historicals and 3 contemporaries was placed in the Science Fiction section. :scratch: Does that make sense to you?

Starlight Serenade, Vol. I
An AmberPaxâ„¢ Collection of
Erotic Romance by Various Authors
ISBN: 1-59279-450-5 (Electronic Set)
Genre: Futuristic Erotic Romance

Included in this collection is Sasha White‘s Transplant, which is the sequel to her bestselling Abduction. Sasha’s been building a name for herself in ebooks over the course of this entire last year, starting off in January with her win in the Amber Heat Author Contest (which is gearing up again. Most of the authors in the Starlight collection are Contest winners from 2004 and 2005.) Then she released a few titles with Liquid Silver.

Next year is going to see her really taking off with multiple releases with Aphrodisia and a single-title release with Berkley Heat. She’s been writing for Black Lace for awhile, and now a whole new print audience will find her. :bounce: Very exciting.

Max made his choice to stick with Tyla and become a Transplant on Triton. Only things aren’t going too smoothly, right from the start. Max wants to be Tyla’s only lover, and for a Triton woman, monogamy is unheard of. Then there’s the fact that the queen’s ordered Tyla to marry a Durian prince in order to prevent a war.

Nothing brings two people closer together than facing a common foe, but can Max and Tyla stop the marriage and still prevent a war?

The opening scene of this story is just yummy!

Thank you to those of you who enjoyed Snaring The Huntress and told me you did. Sasha and I both learned that writing Sci-Fi was fun by dipping our toes in it with AQP. It’s really a great publisher to do that with.

Have a fabulous day!!
:bounce: :cheer: :dance: :yay:

His story releases today (the 23rd)!! :cheer: You can find it on the Ellora’s Cave front page. I believe they update it around 9 AM EST, but I’m not sure.

Special Task Force agent Alexei Night has had a crush on Interstellar Council Representative Briana Michaels ever since the first time he saw her on the vid comm. But their lives are worlds apart. He’s a vampire. She’s not. There’s no possibility of a relationship between them. Yet he still dreams of her…

And then somehow…they do.

My Coming Soon page, which used to be so full, now holds two stories. One of them releases on the 2nd.

And then there was one…

Guess I’ll have to get past this deadline and write more!! :cafe:

Renee Luke has a website! Go say hi.

Sorry. Time ran away from me. I am soooo busy right now. I have a few different things that HAVE to be finished by Dec. 1st and right now, the looming end of the month is killing me.

Anyway, today I did the first part of a two part phone interview with Romantic Times about my Feb. release Bad Boys Ahoy! I’m so very excited to have been asked and I’m hopeful the additional exposure will help the sales of BBA. You all are certainly aware by now about how near panicked I am about the sales of that book.

I’m also nervous about how well it will go over with reviewers. I haven’t heard from anyone who’s read the book yet. But it’s out there, so it shouldn’t be much longer. At the latest, four weeks from now when the Feb. issue of Romantic Times is released.

Anyway, enough about my paranoia.

Tonight is my first List Mom slot on the EC Chatters loop. For more information on that, visit the Allure Authors site.
