Fire & Ice–In Print!
April 17, 2007
Yes, the day is here. Knox and Melanie’s story is going to be read by readers–in a printed book. I want to take the time to thank all my critique partners who helped make “Fire & Ice” the best it could be. Also, I want to thank Vanessa who gave the book the most fabulous cover. I can now smile from ear to ear because my dream came true today.

He’s a hunky fire investigator, she creates ice sculptures—when these two get together things can’t help but sizzle.
Fire investigation is Knox Manning’s passion, that is until he meets the suspect in his latest arson case. The moment he locks eyes with Melanie Sharp’s powder blue gaze his knees buckle—a foreign reaction to the six-foot-two fireman. Thing is, the woman is trouble with a capital “T”. Messing with her could cost him his job and his sanity. That’s what his mind says anyway, too bad his body isn’t listening.
Melanie’s a talent, an up-and-comer in the cultured art world and a woman with a less than stellar past. When one of her promotional fliers is found at the scene of a burned out house, she suddenly finds herself the focus of an arson investigation. One led by a dark-haired man who scares her as much as he thrills her. The house blaze had been set, but not by Melanie. She’s determined to prove that to Knox, who has suddenly become the catalyst of her secret sexual fantasies—igniting an inferno so intense she’s afraid of sustaining third-degree burns.
A lot going on!

Man, what a week so far. I finished my first round of edits on Tuesday night and sent them back to my editor. I should hear something on them by this weekend. The UPS guy (who was very nice I might add) brought my author copies for Fire & Ice on Monday–I just about fainted. There is nothing besides holding your babies, that comes close to the experience of seeing your first printed book. Every Author should experience it. It’s so exciting and I’ve got people preordering it from all over the US. I want to sell so many they can’t keep up.

Yesterday I was back to writing on Caddy Did. I’m still gearing up to the love scene. Today might be the day that Cadence & Kent get it on. Let’s hope. I have to get this book done so I can work on another.
I want to give a shout-out to everyone that believed in me and has supporting my writing career. I might have given up on my dream without all of you. Waving at my sister Cindy! She was there when I first started writing. She encouraged me to continue, and I did because of her. Not to mention all my CP’s who are always helping me through one crisis after another. Blowing kisses their way.
Have a great day!
Jerri
