Check it out:
Callye’s Justice, my first Donica Covey read, sucked me in from page one. One moment I was sitting casually in front of my computer and the next, bam… I was right in the action. And it wouldn’t let me go. The tight writing paired with vivid imagery demanded that I read to the end.
Not recommended for one chapter a night readers. Once you start Callye’s Justice, you’ll have to finish this novel.

So close!!!
The release date for Callye’s Justice is so close I can taste it. The final line edits were completed this week. Thankfully they were not as grueling as I feared All that is left is the editor’s final run through, me picking a scene for the website excerpt, and waiting for my author galley.
The excitement is building. My palms sweat. My hands shake. My body feels flushed with prickling heat. My stomach is rolling from the typical fears and concerns: Will people buy it? Will they hate it? So many will uncertainties swirl in my mind.
I know this book is good. It’s the best one I’ve written to date. The editor thinks it’s a “damn good” book. (Of course if it wasn’t they wouldn’t have picked it up, right?) It’s one of my favorites. This brings on yet another fear: People will love this and it will be fabulous—and I won’t ever be able to write a book of this caliber again.
So now I’ve been trying to calm my stomach by sucking on butterscotch discs (ah the memories of youth) I keep plenty of paper towels on hand for the sweats and plenty of raspberry white tea by my side.
How do I keep my worries away? How do I tackle this insecurity that is suddenly becoming overwhelming? I’m trying to jump into a new book but I always, always get musipation around the release date of my latest book.
If any of you have advise on how to wash away these fears (other than a good belt of whiskey) I could really use the help!
I’ll be posting an excerpt before long. Maybe then some of my fears can become past tense.
Huggles!

JERR Gives A Lick and A Promise 5 Stars!!
I think I deserve a six pack for this, don't you?
Title: A Lick and A Promise
Author: Ann Wesley Hardin
Publisher: Ellora's Cave Publishing
Publisher URL: www.ellorascave.com
Reviewer: Marcy Arbitman
Rating: 5 Stars
Heat level: O
Dove Hansen is terribly concerned about the safety of her young charge. Finishing her day as a nanny, she heard a bizarre noise and found a gorgeous hunk of a man in the bushes. Although Dove has been having imaginary sex nightly with an anonymous dream lover, Mark also attracts her. She can't decide whether she wants Mark or her dream lover, but Mark isn’t what he appears to be. In fact, he’s a fugitive alien from another world and is on Earth for a secret mission. Mark isn't a drunk or a junkie, he is sick from Earth's air. He needs more nitrogen until he adjusts to Earth's air. Will Dove be able to choose between her dream lover and Mark? Will she be able to help Mark's mission?
A Lick and A Promise was a hugely fun book! Mark came from a planet where sex is a capital crime. From the moment Mark saw Dove, he fell for her and I enjoyed their love affair. Dove was a wonderful character. I was a nanny for several years but I was sorry that I did not have an incredibly sexy man like Mark to make love to me in my dreams. Wow, did Dove's dream lover make intensive love to her. She responded excitedly and I found her passion to be realistic and arousing. The secondary characters were amazing. When you learn who they are, I expect you to fall off your chair laughing as I did. The premise was wonderful and the plot was completely in harmony with the depth of the characters and flew smoothly. A Lick and A Promise is the first book that I have read by Ann Wesley Hardin but I am eager to read another.

What's in His Kiss?
More and less than we think.
In a groundbreaking study, the brilliant folks at SUNY discovered that men and women have different reasons for kissing. Apparently, women use kissing to bond emotionally with their partner, while men use kissing to get laid.
Knock me over with a feather. I wish they'd give me a fat grant to perfom one of these studies.
Seems the swapping of spit also passes all sorts of information back and forth -- like the health and fertility of your partner -- and it transfers testosterone into the woman's mouth so she'll become more aroused. That fact alone should have every man on the planet smooching up a storm.
But first, he has to know how to do it.
Another shocking finding was that a lousy first kiss can kill a woman's attraction on the spot. Therefore, it would behoove men to read this and this and this. But alas and alack, some men still refuse to suck face with their SOs, possibly because they fear intimacy.
Although some advice columnists think a woman should accept a lip-lockless life if her partner has other good qualities, or because it's just not done in nature once initial courtship has ended, I say, if this fellow can do it, so can those men.
Now there's a panty dampener -- and not necessarily the good kind.
As for what's in his kiss, some things are better left unknown.
