Okay News-- for real this time!

I sold the Fae book. This book is a hot menage and will be coming out with Cobblestone Press. Whoo-Hooo!

I also found out I recieved a 5 Angel review from Fallen Angel Reviews

Here is an excerpt of the review:

...The Diamond Heartstone is a fascinating page-turner. I love it when Barrick tells Alycia she talks too much. Their actions are so real as they come in contact with each other. The banter keeps the storyline moving at a good pace. Leila Brown sketches characters that stick in the readers mind even after the story is finished. I love the way she brings in the premise of Barrick and the tiger. I also liked the fact that Alycia really cares for the tiger and other animals. The setting with the maze of hallways put this reader right in the center of the action with the other cats, it was that description, and kept me glued wondering what would happen next. There were some twists and turns, with a few intense moments that this reader enjoyed. All in all this was a splendid read.

Yeah...great news huh?

More news!

Just kidding. No new news. Keep checking back.


I did start a new Wicked story. Its a hot aztec goddess released kind of book. Very hot and short. If it gets accepted I'll write the longer sequel.

I am all ready to go on the first Wicked book. It's working title is Stealing the Show. Hot with taste of BDSM, spanking, and bondage.
Packed all nice and tight in a quick read.

Okay...off to do more writing!

Submission sent

Okay...I just sent out my lastest manuscript, A Chance Encounter. It is an urban fantasy.

I hope that my publisher loves it as much as I do.

Now on to the next book. I am trying my best to keep writing and not think about the story once it's been submitted. It's the only way to stay sane and not eat up unneccessary bandwith with page refreshes of my email. :>

Thanks,
Leila Brown

Another book done!

Okay, I finished the book I've been working on for the last two weeks. And no it's not The Pearl Heartstone. I'm still working on that one...replotting it.

This book is called A Chance Encounter and it's hot! Two male Fae and one female. The brothers can turn to mist and control the wind. She has a couple powers but they are all dealing with the sexual arts.

Gotta love it.

It's off to my beta readers now and will hopefully be hitting my publisher sometime next week.

Keep your eye out for it!

Flirty Old Men

I usually buy my research books online. It's cheaper and it cuts down on my embarassment.

But you're an erotic romance author, you don't get embarassed!

That is such a lie. I went to my local Borders yesterday to buy a book. I found a couple to buy for my TBR pile and one for the research pile. Now the name of the research book was...The Ulimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women'.

I read through a little bit of it and thought it would be a good one to add to the collection. I took it up to the counter and was thinking to myself...Please God let a woman check me out. But then again you know my luck. I ended up with an old wrinkled man checking me out. Of course the title shows up on the little screen that points out for the world to see. I smiled at the man determined not to show any discomfort, all the while praying he didn't say the name of the book out loud. He rang it up and then says..."and lets add a 10% discount to that".

Whoa... This old guy was flirting with me. Now don't get me wrong when I want to be I can be a knock out. But yesterday was not one of those days. I was a total scruffy messs. And I hold no illusions it was his fantasies of why I was buying the book that got me that discount.

But as a woman on a book budget I'll take the damned discount in stride. The rest is just too creepy to think about.


Did I mention this Borders is less than 5 minutes from my house...
