Nooooo...we're not talking food, although each chapter begins with a tasty little recipe from my heroine's kitchen.
Leftovers is my latest release! (Pause for the applause)
I've gotta be honest here. Leftovers is a little different from my previous two books. Let's just say that while Stealing Amy and Lights! Cameras! Love! are romances that also happen to be mysteries, Leftovers is more like women's fiction that also happens to have romance. Go figure. I don't seem to be able to get away from it.
Anyway, just in case the description's not up at Amazon yet, here's what it will say when it arrives (okay, don't quote me on this, 'cuz I've already forgotten what I posted, but this is a reasonable facsimile):
Rose waited too long to get married...now she's stuck with other women's leftovers.
Call her an anti-feminist, but Rose Thornton doesn't care about 'having it all.' She just wants a husband and kids of her own to make up for inheriting the step-family from hell at the age of ten. Impending marriage to her boss John Worthington (the third, and a doctor no less!) bodes well for the dream...until she catches him with a hussy who turns out to be pregnant with his child.
Out of a job, temporarily bunking with a girlfriend, but still fiercely attached to her goal, Rose goes the Murphy Brown route, with only two minor glitches to solve: no money...no sperm. She gets the finances handled, then proceeds with daddy donor options: there's the "baby back-up" (her ex-beau who promised to do the deed if they managed to hit forty still childless); the Internet sperm bank (who knew swimmers were only a click away?);
and...well...there's dating.
Meanwhile, there's also Sam Sheridan--father of two daughters and married to Rose's sister, Angie. Only Angie's currently on hiatus in Borneo doing a spiritual cleanse and Sam's bi-coastal job's left him needing someone to watch the girls. Who better than a family member like jobless, homeless, Rose?
Treading in her sister's stilettos is pathetic enough, but when Rose finds herself falling for Sam, it's her worst nightmare come true.
Talk about your leftovers....
Available now as a digital download at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords. And as soon as Smashwords ships to Apple and all the rest, you'll be the first to know!
And shhh...don't tell Amy or Daphne, but Rose's book is my favorite to date. ('Course I'll probably say the same thing about Jen And The Art of Menopausal Maintenance when I get around to finishing it.)

As soon as I get an ereader your books are on my list to order. I can't wait. Well, I have to, at least another month or two, but you know what I mean. I think we write alike. I can't get the romance out of my mysteries either.
Aren't you sweet!?! I have to admit--even though I own something like an iPad which is pretty close to being an ereader, I don't think I could EVER get used to reading on one!
That 1st line in the blurb, I think you mean OTHER not over?
Sorry, can't get out of CP mode, except Rebels didn't critique this one, did we? I don't remember reading it. Guess I'll just have to go buy it. You don't mind, do ya? ;)
Crap...! Wonder if I pasted that from somewhere?!? I think you ladies read the first chapter or two, didn't ya? Hey, buy away LOL (y'know...while they last);)
