Forbidden Temptations…
Serena Kelley is an archaeologist and treasure hunter—and a woman with a secret. Since she was seven, she’s been the keeper of a powerful charm that grants her health and immortality . . . as long as she stays a virgin. But Serena isn’t all that innocent.

As writers we tend to spend our time focusing on our main character, or hero/heroine. They are what the story is about, they are often the ones telling it or at least in some way, we are seeing the world through their eyes. So we labor over every minute character detail. Our MC is brave, honest, smart, but also scared, clumsy, or challenged. We know them better than we know ourselves. We know their …

It’s kind of out in the open now that Dorchester isn’t doing so great financially (the whole shebang with RWA and not fulfilling contractual obligations meant something definitely had to be done) so I hope that the shift in focus helps them regain some stability and move forward. I’m a recent convert to the lovely world of ebooks so I think the possibility for them to turn things around is definitely there and this may be a big opportunity for them if it’s handled properly.
Congrats hon! I will Email you know. =)
