Blurb:

            Leda always dreaded the holiday season until a co-worker from GUYO (Give Us Your Opinions) invited the lovely lass to a party where she met… him. Liam was a classic Renaissance Man whose latest job was teaching at the prestigious BALI (Bay Area Literary Institute). Soon, Leda and Liam were loving each other with a passion that outshone the brightest of holiday lights. But when a mash note from a student threatens to douse their flame and leave her heartbroken, Leda eventually confronts Liam and he leaves. Will their love survive the wreckage of temptation? Only the brightness of their love can pull them from the darkness of mistrust -- and back into each other’s arms.

Except:

I was sitting at my desk writing Tom Swifties for bad girls (I want to **** *** ****, she said teasingly) when Jenna, my cubicle neighbor, announced to the room at large she was having a party and all opinion poll takers were welcome.

Later, in the restroom (where all the truly important polls take place), Jenna confessed she and her beau of five years were having problems and she hoped the party would lighten her man's mood a bit.

"I just can't seem to reach him anymore," she sighed, fastidiously applying a layer of lip gloss to her pretty mouth.  "Mike used to be so much fun.  Now he just wants to watch TV and play video games.  Bor-ing."

"Are you bonny in bed?"

My co-worker gave me a quizzical look.  "I'm Jenna in bed."

"Never mind.  What time's the party?"

Friday night, a fortnight before the dreaded Noel, half the females in our department were naffing about in cocktail dresses pretending they felt right at home in Pacific Heights.  Jenna's boyfriend was a software something and owner of a very cool condo on Clay Street.  I had met him once before though I didn't realize it until he handed me my first drink.  Where had I met him?  At an office gala? The farmer's market?  Didn't matter so long as the booze kept flowing from the still-room.

Interview:

1. What is mash note?

2. Does Leda know the students?

3. What company would you compare GUYO to?

4. What would you like my readers to know about your book?

5. Is this a stand alone or are there more books with the same characters?

From the author:

1. A mash note is a note or letter expressing great enthusiasm for the recipient

2. Leda knows BALI (Bay Area Literary Institute) is a highbrow place for learning. Since Liam only teaches part-time there she doesn't get too involved with his academic life. She goes a little crazy when a student pursues Liam; a lack of trust always puts a big strain on a relationship.

3. I wouldn't want to compare GUYO to a specific company; our society is too litigious. Suffice it say I've worked my share of crummy jobs!

4. The book was born out of a desire to create more love in the world.

5. This is a stand alone. My book Inviting Trouble: BDSM Romance is a book of linked stories featuring recurring characters. I'm working on serialized fiction for Peaches Magazine (peachesmag.com) where I have also published articles on sex and love. I like the idea of bringing back characters but for the most part I focus on stand alones.
