Looking for something spicy to read? Try Inez Kelley’s latest release! I had the pleasure of beta reading this and it was *wonderful*. So glad to see it sold and the reviews on it have been wonderful!

COMING CLEAN never felt so good…

Grant and Vivi Michaelson share everything in their marriage: love, commitment—and their wildest sexual desires. But their relationship is tested when Vivi admits she wants a threesome with Grant’s old friend Cade, proposing their annual trip to the lake as the perfect opportunity to fulfill her fantasy.

All three of them are aroused by the idea. Vivi and Cade have long felt a smoldering attraction to each other…and Grant and Cade have hidden an illicit desire for decades. Going through with the ménage will test their boundaries, reveal old secrets…and maybe tear them apart. After all, there might be room for Cade in bed, but is there room for a third in their marriage?

Rated Top Pick, 4 Stars, 5 Blue Ribbons and called ‘the best menage of the summer’ by reviewers!

“The characters are adorable, the storytelling is perfect and Mrs. Kelley’s voice is something I will never forget.”

HOT! WET! STEAMY!

I know a lot of people wonder about what comes after the sale. I’ll do my best to give you a quick inside peek of how things are going down for me.After I signed my contract with Turquoise Morning Press I entered the  INFORMATION HIGHWAY and I sucked up as much of it as I could. There’s publisher author loops to join, publisher reader loops to join, information about future submissions to review! My publisher had not yet released their first books when I signed on, so I went to the author loop and reviewed all the past messages. It gave me a good feel of how they operated and answered many of my questions. I filled out cover sheet information, tax information, and something else so I can get money when those royalties start rolling in!My publishered urged me to pitch her more ideas, to not feel like we had to wait until my book was edited and everything before we could get more going. So I did! I worked up a proposal to take Through The Wall into a series and pitched her the idea. And she loved it!  We launched right into contracts for the second in the series On The Fence and I’m looking at four more novellas to pitch her.So while those ideas are steaming and sizzling and coming together in the back of my mind, I moved on ahead into a few promo things. I began work on a book trailer, picked at updating my website, and just all over, tried to get prepared and stay ahead of the game.And cover pretties came! It was a whoose all over again of website updating and celebrating. I have to say, it took me longer than I expected to get my cover up at the various places I visit online…and I didn’t even change my avatar photo at twitter, facebook, blogger, word press, Romance Divas…or oh, my! There seems to be so many! And how in the world am I ever going to keep up! But I pushed through and kept forward movement going.Remember that book trailer I was working on? I said, no way am I waiting. Now that I had my cover, I jumped in there and got myself busy and got that thing finished. It’s a bit early to be flashing that thing around and trying to draw attention to it–my book doesn’t come out til end of December!–but I decided having something doesn’t mean I have to run around all over the internet shouting it from the rooftops.I quietly sent it to my publisher and she linked it, I put it on my website and am sending it to an interview next week. Oh, and since you’re here and if you’re curious, here’s my trailer below. Low cost was the name of the game here. I created it myself in Windows Movie Maker. If you can work MS PowerPoint, you can do Movie Maker. I bought pictures from istockphoto.com and in all, I spent about $18.00.

Last week I made my first sale! A sexy little novella titled Through The Wall to Turquoise Morning Press for the Sapphire Nights Line. Through The Wall is due for release Early Winter 2010.For Stephanie Faulker, in Through The Wall, she  doesn’t want wild and raunchy, just a little spice…. She’s been hearing her neighbor’s nightly sexcapades through her bedroom wall and she wants a turn!But Parker Madison isn’t so easily swayed. He wants Stephanie all right, but not just in the bedroom. He wants commitment and long-term, not a quick roll. Short-term does not lead to long term. Or can it….hmm…we’ll have to wait and see what these two can do!It’s story one in the Uninhibited In Apple Trail, Arkansas series. These sexy novellas feature heroines who are tossing their inhibitions to the wind and finding the guts to go after what they want.My wonderful editor said don’t feel like you have to wait, pitch me something else when you have it. I didn’t wait! I had a couple stories in mind to make the series, so I shot her off a pitch for novella number two in the series, On The Fence and she wanted it! That’s right! After five years of writing, I sold two stories in less than a week. I don’t think I’ll ever catch my breath!In On The Fence, if Shellie has to hear one more condescending comment from her mother about life or men, she might scream. She packs up and takes a trip to see her long-missed high school friend, Jack. But instead of the girl-chasing jock she remembers from their youth, Jack’s gone country, keeping up a farm of his own.Jack’s settled down on a farm his uncle left to him. Not the life he ever envisioned, but after getting a girl pregnant in college and then watching helplessly as the baby was aborted, he learned the hard way it was time to settle down. Shellie’s reentry into his life reminds of his wild past and it’s a fight to ignore the tempting woman Shellie has become.I can’t wait for these to come out! My publisher is launching next week and have some super awesome prizes to give away! CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS TO WIN!!

Julie Lindsey asked me to be part of a Writer Wednesday series. I was thrilled and said yes! ”Rejections are part of the business. Yes, they suck like wow, but again, part of the business. They can be for any number of reasons. Such as taste, for example. Your voice and style. A reader’s book taste is like their food palate. Reading a book you don’t like is the same as being told to drink Coke and enjoy it when you’re a die-hard Dr. Pepper fan.”for more head over to Julie’s blog…Musings From The Slush Pile
