Banned!

Should Jessica Trapp be banned?

Probably.

From a review site on The Pleasures of Sin:
“This kind of trash should be banned! How disgusting. … Honestly if you cannot write better than this piece of worthless trash maybe you should find a different career. … Save your self the time and money and avoid the pain of reading a this depraved piece of garbage.”

So Joe locked me into a cell until I agreed to stop writing such depraved material. He threatened to use the brank, but it was too late. I’d already chewed through the straps and it’s only a matter of time before The Heretic’s Daughter will be finished…

The pleasure! The controversy!

Since the Pleasures of Sin was available for free download for a few days last week the sales have taken off. It also received several new reviews, some flattering, some not so much. I love the controversy and the stark difference of opinion. Enjoy!

THE HERO:

James of Montgomery received the prestigious K.I.S.S. (Knights In Shining Silver) Award from Romantic Times.

And he also received this award:
“this so-called hero was possibly the worst guy I have ever read about in all of the thousands of historical romance books I’ve read.”

FREE TODAY!

Several people emailed me to tell me that my third book, The Pleasures of Sin, is free to download on kindle and Nook today.

Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/The-Pleasures-of-Sin-ebook/dp/B00276HAIU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1327444934&sr=8-8

Nook: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/pleasures-of-sin-jessica-trapp/1100323953?ean=9781420111330&itm=2&usri=jessica+trapp

“This highly sensual battle-of-wills/captive-captor romance is highly reminiscent of early Johanna Lindsey with its biting repartee, heated love scenes and even a tied-up heroine. If you’re looking for a new twist on a classic, this is it.”
—Kathe Robin, RT Book Reviews

Making Bread

One time when I tried to made bread, I made bricks instead. Could have built a castle. Today I decided to try again.

The outcome: Three hours to make. Ten minutes to disappear. One happy family.

Cold “Cure” Tea

Cold “Cure” Tea

1 lemon
1 orange
2 large cinnamon sticks
2 Tablespoons of cloves
1 can frozen concentrated apple juice
2 pieces of ginger the size of a man’s little finger
10 cups water

Cut lemon and orange into slices. Boil lemon, orange, cinnamon sticks, and cloves for 30 minutes. Peal and slice the ginger and add it to the mixture–boil for 20 more minutes. Remove from heat and add the apple juice to sweeten.

Add honey when served. (Optional)

It’s a little bitter if the ginger is cooked too long, but I think this works pretty well.

Merry Christmas

‎”The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel–which means, God with us.”

Have you noticed that some people can run around with absolute chaos all around them but still stay in joy and peace while others could be stressed out at a meditation retreat?

WARNING: holiday kisses are being threatened!

I love kisses and holiday romance, but not everyone likes mistletoe. Some commercial foresters consider the dwarf mistletoe as a disease that reduces the growth rates of commercially important conifer species, such as the ponderosa pine. Ecologists, though, point out that mistletoes are not a disease; instead, they are a native group of plants that have been around thousands of years.

Globally, 20 mistletoe species are endangered. Three kinds of butterflies in the United States are entirely dependent on mistletoes for their survival: the great purple hairstreak, the thicket hairstreak, and the Johnson’s hairstreak. Mistletoe is also an important nectar and pollen plant for honeybees and other native bees.
