I’m hopping on the SSS wagon! Following are six sentences from my Work in Progress that doesn’t even have a title yet. I’ll keep you informed
“Don’t go.” She said the words before she could even think about the wisdom.
He speared her with those electric blue eyes. The heat behind them only fanned her desire. He sucked a breath through his teeth. “Brynn…”
“Stay.” She moved a step closer and gripped his forearm. “Please.”
For more SSS fun, visit Dee Carney , Sara Brookes, Jeanne St. James and Hailey Edwards. I’m preposting this blog, since I work on Sunday (can I get an “awwwww” ?) So if you’re also SSSing, leave me a comment so my readers can find you.

Welcome! If you’re just stumbling across my blog, be sure to click HERE to join us at the beginning of the
Be My Valentine Blog Hop
where almost forty bloggers have joined forces to bring you an eye candy overload, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Today I’m featuring male model Brandon Vols.

There is something very sexy about black and white photographs. Maybe it’s the old movie feel. The above picture reminds me of romance novel I remember reading as a teen. *sigh*

Ah, a close up…now you can see those eyes. And stubble. Rawr.

These pictures are all courtesy of C.M. Soto Photography and can be found HERE along with more information about Mr. Vols.
I hope you’re enjoying the blog hop! I’ll be chatting with readers on Friday from 7pm to 9pm EST in Gem’s Chat Room, where I’ll be posting excerpts of my published novels, and maybe some of my works in progress. I’d love to meet you, so please stop by the Chat Room at the end of the tour. Don’t forget to leave a comment here to get your name in the hat to win a plethora of prizes, including my contemporary western romance Retreat.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Two of my books received some great praise early this week. Since I have no problem tooting my own horn so to speak, I’m going to share them with you here!
Préjà Vu received five hearts from Romance Book Scene! Here is a snippet:
“Interesting surprise ending twist in this story keeps readers guessing throughout the novel.
I just loved Ryann and Trevor as the heroine and hero of this book. Ryann is intelligent and well spoken. She isn’t some psychic or tarot card reader off the street. She has no idea where the dreams come from and she does the best she can under the circumstances. Trevor [is] completely taken with Ryann and isn’t afraid to show it.
This is a good read for those who like mystery, suspense with great romance and bedroom scenes.”
Nice huh? I like hearing good things about my books (from people other than my mother, sorry mom) it gives me a little warm fuzzy.
And Fine Print received four and a half diamonds from Got Erotic Romance! a snippet from that review:
“Wow…as an author myself, I was blown away by this story. It has everything…wonderfully developed characters, a delicious love story and a bit of suspense thrown in. I absolutely adored the building, halting relationship between Kara and Derek. And I think the author hit the mark (at least with me) because I fell completely in love with Derek. He’s the quintessential hero. And the way he wove his patient and loving way around the anal-retentive Kara was beautiful to watch. Seriously, this was one of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. Nice job, Alanna Coca. I can’t wait to read more from you!”
I always love reader feedback. If you’ve read one of my books, love it or hate it, I’d like to hear from you. Something you would have liked to see? Something you didn’t understand? Wonder why I use so many ellipses? (So do I…it’s a weakness…I can’t seem to stop myself.) Drop me a line, or just leave a comment here.
Back to writing. Olivia’s got a story she just HAS to tell, and since I’m the fingers of this team, I’d better get with it. Stop by on Friday where I’m participating in a weekend-long blog tour loaded with prizes and eye candy. More information HERE. See you then!

Welcome to the progressive story, a great way to celebrate Groundhog Day! You’ve found Chapter one of our story,
A Corpse, a Cop, and Some Canines. I’m sure this will be on the bestsellers list soon, and it might win a Pulitzer or two. I’m not sure how that works, but I do know that this will be a lot more fun than watching Punxatawny Phil on TV.
UPDATE! The entire progressive story is now available for free download right here:
