Back at the Blog again...

It's been far too long, but there's been two weeks of vacation, plus attendance at this year's RWA writing conference last minute in Atlanta.

It seems that many publishers want erotic romance. I don't mind complying, and am happy to report that my new anthology in that line, The Cowboy, received a pretty cool review from Fallen Angel Reviews, among others "I'm dazed and feel as if I was on a raging bull barely able to hang on. This story really took me for a loop; pure erotica at its best. If that wasn't enough the intense underlying emotions of two people so in tune with each other's bodies was beautiful to imagine.This is the first story I've read from Nikki Alton but I will definitely place her on my must have list. She is a sure thing with a screaming orgasm on top."

In spite of the fact that I want to be known for other things that erotic romance, I still regret not writing this one under my own name instead of my psuedonym, Nikki Alton. For one thing its difficult to link the Amazon pages and plog. For another this seems to be selling better than romantic suspense. Or my literary fiction certainly.

Oh, Mrs. Giggles - and she's tough to please - gave a nice thumbs up to my rom/suspense The Model Man.

It's still there looking to be swept off the shelves and into your fall reading staff (rake it up before you hit the autumn leaves, okay?) I'll have a new romantic suspense, Five O'Clock Shadow coming in February 2007.

The gree means go buy it.

Meanwhile, on vacation I encountered millions of stars in a light pollution free Oregon coastal sky, a couple of ghosts (yes, really), seastacks and rain forests and ferrys and the sound of seagulls wheeling through a quiet little town late at night. Among other things. Great settings for future books I hope.

Anyway, hope y'all forgive a long absence, and enjoy The Cowboy.
