Smokin’ hot Sunday

Good morning Everyone,

What is it about men in uniform, er, out of uniform? (((Sigh)))

I don’t think I need to say any more…

Enjoy your smokin’ hot Sunday.

Kayla

Even Sweeter Sunday

Hello Everyone,

This is Donovan, the inspiration behind my latest short story in progress. Unlike the beautiful guy from 2 weeks ago, Donovan doesn’t do dishes.

Ummm, looking like this - he doesn’t have to!

I thought I would share and brighten your Sunday. And Brit? I’ve added tattoos & piercings for the story line.

Donovan can be seen performing with the Thunder from Down Under, male dance review at the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Since the other guy left I’m off to do my own dishes. :-( Sigh…..

Ciao,

Kayla J

Ceremony of Seduction released in Spanish!!!!

I came home the other night to find a box on my doorstep from Kensington.  I figured they’d sent me a few more author copies of Vision of Seduction, so I didn’t open it right away. Once I finally got around to opening it, I was happily shocked at what I found.

Ceremonia de Seduccion, aka, Ceremony of Seduction in Spanish, as sold in Spain.  Woo Hoo!  Before this I didn’t even know any of the foreign rights had been sold.  I did Google it to try to find the cover image to post up here, but the image showing on the Spanish bookstores isn’t the same one I received, so there might be a few different versions floating around out there.

The cover it actually has on it is a fuzzed out picture of a couple embracing–so much more tame than either of my Seduction Series covers in the US…lol!

Now the only Spanish I know is what I learned on Sesame Street, so a lot of the words in this book are totally beyond my comprehension…lol.  However, in the dedication, I had said, “To my Critique Group, The Butterscotch Martini Girls…” and the Translation of that is fun :-) “Mis Mejores criticas, las Chicas Butterscotch Martini”

Anyway, I’m still doing a big happy dance off this one!  Cassie Ryan has gone International!!  Here’s hoping for more translation books to pour in!!  I’d love to be able to add “Whose books are available in 44 languages world wide!” or something fun like that to my bio.  Tee Hee!

Just had to share,

Cassie/Tina
