In a little less than two months, I officially become a published author!

Here’s a preview of my debut contemporary romance novella, Red Shoes for Lab Blues, scheduled for release by Lyrical Press on June 3.  Thanks to my wonderful publisher, Renee Rocco, for the beautiful cover art, and to Ann-Marie Smith for invaluable editorial guidance.

I’m gearing up for promo now by building a Twitter following (Thanks, Sophia Jones, for the tips), setting up my Goodreads author profile, networking with other authors for cross-promo, and ordering some really cute Swag for giveaways.

This is a dream come true and the beginning of what I hope will be a fruitful and fulfilling career as a writer. I look forward to sharing it with fans of contemporary romance, and hope they’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Remember – for less than the price of a latte, you can have a nerdgasm!

Blurb:

Dr. Stacey Jamison thinks she’s close to validating PharmEx’s new anti-cancer drug. Her budding independent career, her boss’s tenure, and a ton of research dollars are at stake. She just has to prove Compound Z kills cancer cells.

So far, it doesn’t.

Then along comes Dr. Henry Chan, the department’s new rising star. Henry is smart, handsome, and confident. He’s also captivated by the enigmatic Dr. Jamison, who seems oblivious to her own charms. But will Henry risk his heart when the research project is at stake?

A rival drug company, an insider with a personal grudge, and militant animal rights protestors force everyone’s plans into disarray. Can their love overcome everything being thrown at them?
