So my first story is coming out soon from Red Sage. It's a spicy ethnic novella entitled Sofia's Lobo.
Sofia Tijerina has returned to her native Mexico to capture the ghost that haunts the Rio Grande, La Llorona, on film for her reality show This Old Haunted House. Antonio Valdes, the sexy werewolf lover she left six years ago, is a terrible distraction and a temptation she can't resist now that he's reentered her life. When Sofia begins to have visions of the female ghost, she realizes that Antonio is tied to the mystery of the spirit's fate. Will the secrets he kept from Sofia all those years ago resurface to tear them apart once again?
I'm so excited about this. I've been a fan of Red Sage for years, I've read every story from Angela Knight to Cynthia Eden but I never dared to hope when I sent in my ten pages that I'd ever be there. ;)
Soon I will be and I can't be anything but humbled by that.
I'm working on two stories at the moment when I have the time. I've been working some overtime lately and I'm so tired when I get home from work. But don't I have incentive now? One story is about a woman who gets more than she bargained for when she signs up to be a nude model for an art class. The other is about a woman who inherited a Spanish castle and two very sexy personal bodyguards. ;)
I'll catch you up on my recipes when I get a chance. Right now, I'm off for sleep.
Buenos Noches,
Lauren

More good news...
I've heard from Ms. Mills at Red Sage and I'm excited to say that I now have a full manuscript of my novella under consideration. I'm thrilled because I didn't really expect to get this far. No matter what happens, I'll be happy. I'm working on my next work and if I'm lucky enough to get a contract on my first work, I'll post an excerpt. Wish me luck!

My first baby step!
So I had some very good news today. I submitted the first ten pages of my novella to Red Sage and today I received an email from Felecia Mills asking for the first three chapters by email. Obviously this is a big deal to a newbie like me. I'm yet to come off the ceiling. No matter how it turns out, I'm happy. Red Sage is one of my favorite publishers and so this is dream all in itself. =)
