Love in the Time of Coronavirus?

Well, yes. In fact, it’s volume 2 of Love in the Time of Corona.

And, who doesn’t need a little escape from all the confusing, polarizing and gloomy news?

Seven authors have virtually come together to release an anthology of novelettes in different genres (and heat levels) that show how love, like life, finds a way.

My story is called “Tipsy” and if you love wines, you’ll love this story about two restaurant employees navigating their furlough.

Barbera Piedmont works in one of Manhattan’s top restaurants alongside a hot sommelier named Cavan Mills. One fateful night furloughs them both and there seems to be no end in sight. To Barbera’s surprise, Cavan contacts her for help keeping his career on track. Through a virtual connection, they share wines along with their fears and dreams. Barbera can’t help wondering what will happen to their digital relationship when life returns to normal. Will her services no longer be needed, or will these strange and dangerous times end in love?

My fellow anthology contributors–Kristi Avalon, Chloe Flowers, Sheridan Jeane, Becky Lower, Judy McDonough and L.A. McGinnis–share my excitement in letting you know Love in the Time of Corona, Vol. II, will be released on April 22.

Read, leave a review, stay safe. Muah, from me (6-feet away) to you.

Peek’d App Delivers Romance Books One Chat at a Time

Eavesdropping on strangers’ conversations is immense fun. How else can you pass the time when you are waiting for something. Aren’t we always waiting for something? To pay for our food, for our Ubers to arrive, or for venti iced coffees with our names misspelled on the cup?

Who in the world is named Janiver??

But eavesdropping is rude.

A better way to wile away the minutes is by literature. Of course, carrying around a book or another device is not always practical. But you would ever leave the house without your phone? Like some kind of animal?

No.

So, how can we combine our passions for eavesdropping, good stories and our phones?

Well, there’s an app for that and it’s called Peek’d. It’s free and fun and it delivers you short stories in all genres a little text box at a time. It’s like going through your friend’s phone. Which we would never do.
