Hi! As part of today’s Book Brew, I’d like to share a couple of excerpts from my romance novels. The first one is from my debut Autumn Leaves, a lesbian romance dealing with a late coming out.
With Valentine’s Day nearing, I’ll give away an e-book of Autumn Leaves. To enter, leave a comment on this post, including your email.
Blurb:
With one revelation, her world will shift forever. Rebecca has everything she ever dreamed of in life: a family, a beautiful home and good friends. When Callie moves into the house across the street, Rebecca is quick to welcome the young writer into the tightly-knit community of Autumn Leaves. She has no idea that Callie will confront her with a truth about herself she might not be ready to face. All Callie wanted was to flee the big city and finish her latest book in peace, but life in the small town comes with unexpected temptation and danger.
Autumn Leaves, was published in November 2012 and is the first in a 4-part series. The following books are Winter Storm and Spring Fever, the last, Summer Wine, will be released later this year.
Excerpt:
Callie laughed happily.
“Let’s see, you bring me food and booze. You’ve known me for five minutes and still haven’t said I talk too much, and you’re fixing my faucet? You’re already my favorite neighbor.”
You could be mine, Rebecca thought, pleased. She set down her cup and got up. “All right, I need to get Maggie from practice in a little while, so I better get started.” She discarded the cardigan and hung it over a chair, stepped out of her pumps and put them underneath. The black T-shirt she wore and the slacks were fine for this kind of work. She could come up with a verdict quickly. “I think it’s just the mounting nut under the sink that needs to be tightened.”
“Um”¦” Callie didn’t seem to know what to make of that piece of information. “Whatever you say.” “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. Cole’s prices are outrageous anyway. So what do you do?” Rebecca asked, still half-buried under the sink.
“I write,” Callie said. “What kind of things?”
“Lesbian erotica.”
“Ow!” Getting upright, Rebecca promptly hit her head. Callie had some kind of humor. A good thing Betty wasn’t here or the story would have easily topped the no-name-Hollywood-actress one. “You want me to work on your pipes and not mess up the job, don’t say things like that.”

Good luck! I’ll be around, so if you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to leave them here. The winner of the e-book will be drawn at 8.00 p.m. EST today. Thank you & Thanks to Coffee Time Romance for this opportunity!
