THEY'RE GALAXIES APART... Even for a Zetithian, Tarq Zulveidinoe's sexual prowess is legendary. Believing it's all he's good for, Tarq sets out to perpetuate his threatened species by offering his services to women across the galaxy... BUT ONE FORCE CAN BRING THEM TOGETHER... Lucinda Force is the sensitive dark horse in a self-absorbed family, repeatedly told that no man will ever want such a plain woman. Lucy longs for romance, but is resigned to her loveless lot in life-until Tarq walks through the door of her father's restaurant on Talus Five... I've often been asked how long it takes to write a book, and I honestly can't answer that question. I do know that the manuscript for Stud was due April 1, 2011, but I have no idea when I first began writing it. One of these days I'm going to write down the date that an idea for a book first occurs to me and actually document how long it takes from conception to delivery. Hopefully, I'l...

By Cheryl Brooks Tarq smelled her before he ever laid eyes on her--a glorious, delectable aroma that curled through his head and shot straight into his bloodstream. Closing his eyes, he inhaled deeply as the effect of her fragrance hit him with the force of a pulse blast, obliterating every thought with the instantaneous ecstasy of an erection so hard it made his head swim. He glanced away from his menu, taking in the shape of her legs out of the corner of his eye--what he could see of them, that is. Her baggy trousers and apron concealed everything about her legs except the fact that she had two of them. "Hi, my name is Lucy, and I'll be your server," she said. "Do you already know what you'd like, or do you need more time? Tarq smiled to himself as he shook his head. No, he didn't need more time. He knew exactly what he wanted. "You," he replied. "I'd like a full order of you ."     Those are the opening paragraphs of my upcom...

Hmm... Something wrapped up with a bow and under my tree... That's a tough one. I suppose I could wish for something like this:   But my DH just walked in, gave me a kiss on the cheek and said "I love ya!" Does it get any better than that? Probably not. I'd love to have Stud make one of the bestseller lists. Unfortunately, the book doesn't come out until February, so that won't be beneath my tree this year and certainly not tied up with ribbons and bows.   In years past, I've wanted to discover a variety of things beneath the tree, but I find that I want less and less as I grow older. More than anything, I want to eliminate the clutter, but it's insidious, creeping in day by day, piling up in any available corner. An empty kitchen table is a clutter magnet, becoming completely covered seemingly overnight. Counter space is even worse. There are times when I could almost believe in spontaneous generation--not ...

You wanna talk about hope? I'm hoping for a lot of things right now, but mainly I'm just hoping I can get through the month of June. Virgin's release is June 1, and Double Desire, my contribution to Sharing , the first Sextet Anthology for Siren, will be released June 3rd. I'm going to the Lori Foster Get Together the first weekend in June. My hope there is that I arrive without having gotten lost. (Mapquest, don't fail me now!) Then I have an INRWA meeting the second Saturday in June. I have revisions to Stud due June 20th. Then there are the guest blogs for Virgin throughout the month of June. To date, I've written one. Usually I'm done with them the month prior, but several are interviews. Don't have the questions yet, so I can't write them. Guess I'll move on to write the later ones first. At least I'll be ahead on something. Then there's RWA the last week of June. I'll be missing both of my son's birthdays because th...
