First of all, thank you fellow Babes for the warm welcome. So happy to be here!

Next up. Topic of the week. What I’m reading.

I’m in the same boat as Rhonda. I'm on a fierce writing deadline. Plus, I work a full time day job.  Can you say, not enough hours in the day? So unfortunately reading for pleasure at times like this is tough.  Fortunately, my day job—senior library assistant—affords me time to read in snatches.  Books is our biz, after all!

A couple of days ago I finished my first Cherry Adair novel: White Heat (The Men of T-FLAC, Book 11).  I’d categorize this as an action adventure romance. Fast paced, exciting and sexually hot, hot, hot! I’m hooked.  Since I started at the end of the series, naturally, I must now go back and read them all. I did the same thing with Suzanne Brockmann’s Troubleshooter's series. 

Before Adiar’s novel, I read Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ Natural Born Charmer. LOVED IT! Killer dialogue. Killer. Poignant central plot with an equally poignant secondary plot.  Lovable, faulted, realistic characters. Did I mention the amazing rapid-fire, witty dialogue? *Sigh* This book reminded me of why I fell in love with romance novels to begin with.

Aside from that, I’m reading research books on con-artists and scams.  And, this is so embarrassing, my own books. I’m currently writing my third book of The Chameleon Chronicles. Stories featuring Evie Parish, a burned out performer who joins a government agency that busts nefarious cons. Because my memory stinks, I have to keep referring to the first two books to make sure I’m on target with the third. How sad is that? Even more sad, I read passages and think… Did I write that?

It’s all a blur folks. But a good blur. 

Next up on my reading list?  Books written by my fellow babes!
