All right, so the neat thing is I’m getting hits from allllll across the country! And the world! So I’d love to know who’s from where and what parts of the world is reaching me…and how you found me.
So, if you’d like to win a signed (and caressed!) copy of Tempted, please comment here with where you are in the world (State or Country is fine, you don’t need to give me your address or anything crazy like that…)
And I’ll draw one winner from all the comments by…oh…well, the end of August, 2008!
And thanks for reading my blog!

I’m in beautiful (and extremely hot) Southern California. I’m a fairly new visitor, too.

I’m writing from Western NY.
I found you because I bought Dirty, liked it, and went looking for your website.

Chiming in from North Eastern Ohio. I have read a couple of your books. You have a powerful gift.

Saying “hi” from southwestern CT.
I came across your books on the EHarlequin site and then found your website.
Hope the weather where you are is as great as it is here.

The first book of yours I read was Dirty!
I’m in North Carolina!

North Carolina here too – near Fort Bragg.
Ready Dirty before I saw your blog, but I’m not sure if I then went looking for your site or if you popped up blogging somewhere else and I stalked you back here.
I do remember I picked up Dirty because of the SBTB.com ad.

Victoria, Australia. Was reading my Harlequin newsletter, Broken was featured, and I thought I’d enjoy it. I’ve since bought both that and Tempted, though I haven’t around to reading either yet.
Have a lovely day!

I’m a Buckeye like Kendra [actually currently in the same general area too]!
] … you know, I have no idea. Around when “Tempted” came out – you were all over the blogosphere, and I’m nosy so I think I googled you. 
That or linked from any one of your many guest posts.
I discovered you [doesn't that sound fancy

Hi from the Unholy Land of Israel (‘scuse me, I get grumpy when it’s so hot, and it was 99 degrees at 9am this morning :satansmoking: )
I was over at Nice Mommy, Evil Editor and Angie linked one of Lauren’s vblogs in her shared items. Lauren mentioned your name and now I lurk at both of your sites while procrastinating – um – working.
I enjoy your vblogs – and it’s not a hardship to look at all the pics of Dean

Wendy, of Super Librarian fame did a review of DIRTY. I was intrigued, read it and was a fan. THEN, I went looking for info, backlist and when the new releases were coming out and found your website.
Like Holly I hail from so HOT SoCal.

and you got a shoutout (a long time ago) on another blog I read…it was “what I have in my house other do not” (or something along those lines) and I have no idea why I remembered the name of that
July 11th, 2008 at 1:28 pm · Link
@ EVERYBODY!
Thanks for the roll call, everyone!
Trish, I think I should do that again. I bet I still have a bunch of stuff in my house that others do not!

I’m in Oklahoma. I started reading your blog after Broken. I thought it was brilliant and not like anything I ever read before. I can’t wait for Stranger! The excerpt you shared with us was HOT.

I, like Cynthia, am from NY state, just a little farther south probably (in wine country)…
And where did I meet you??
Oh yeah… Through my sister and Morningstar!

Another from So Cal here! Found you when I borrowed Broken from the library and then checked out your website.
Hope everybody’s having a great summer

I’m your fan from Helsinki, Finland.
I don’t remember how I came to know your writing, but it was probably through internet (I read about Tempted somewhere). I ordered it, loved it and ordered the other Spice books after that. Now I’m waiting for your up coming releases. Thanks for lovely books!

@Maija: Welcome, and thanks for reading!

@Carol: Hi, Carol! Thanks for reading. And I’m glad your library carries Broken. *Mine* doesn’t.
Can you believe it?

I’m from Calgary, Alberta
I’ve read most of your books (is the spice short story ever going to go to print? In an anthology or something?) but I think my most favouritest one is Broken. I’ve read it a couple of times 
LOVE it!

@Erin: Hi, Erin. Well, I don’t know if Reason Enough would ever come out in an anthology but I suppose it might. It looks like they’re putting out an antho of the Spice Briefs (my story Gilt and Midnight will be in it) but someday I guess I’d like to have enough Briefs to do my own antho.

I’m from St. Cloud, Minnesota. Was browsing around the the eHarlequinn site and your book “Tempted” caught my eye.

I’m in Wisconsin, way up north by the Upper Michigan border. I stopped by today because Lillian Feisty mentioned you’d be drawing the winner in her blog contest at Romance Divas and I was like, Hey, I love her!
I’m also a Cigars frequenter under a totally cheesy login. LOL

Hi Megan!
Please don’t enter me in the contest… I already have Tempted. So good, btw. I read it several months ago and still think about the characters now and then and wonder how they’re doing.
I’m from New Jersey.

Hiya! I’m reading from Ottawa, the capitol of Canada, where I’m a graduate student in English Lit.
I came across an excerpt of Tempted while I was googling erotica back in December and read Dirty to tide me over before T’s release. I’m very excited for your next book but I don’t want to read any spoilers. I want to read it all at once and be surprised. Can’t wait!

@Judith: Thanks for reading, Judith! Have you read Broken? It might tide you over until Stranger comes out…

Hello from Lynn, Massachusetts.. I found you and all your fab books on Amazon.com. Tempted was actually a recommendation by Amazon based on my pervious purchases and what I’ve previously said I’ve read and/or owned.. Clearly they know me well because I am just loving all your work.. Thanks for it, it’s keeping me very entertained this summer!

I’ve always loved erotic fiction and I happened to stumble across some of your books on Amazon and thought, “why not?”. Broken was the first novel of yours that I read, then it was Dirty, and now I’m almost done with Tempted. This is how engrossed I have become in your writing. I started reading Broken on 07/10/08 and finished it on 07/11/08. Started reading Dirty on 07/14/08 and finished it on 07/15/08. I picked up Tempted as soon as I was done with Dirty and here it is, 07/17/08 and I’m almost done with the story of Anne, James, and Alex. WOW!!! I love how you place your characters throughout the books because it’s like catching up with an old friend. In theory, I should have read Dirty first, but no biggie. I know how Elle and Dan end up by reading Broken. You need to flesh out a story about Mary (from Broken and Tempted) and give her a storyline with Betts.

Sorry, I got carried away before. I have a tendency to become over-passionate about certain subjects.
