Reviews"The storyline was pure reading heaven..." - Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed, for Riding Partner "This
novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing
Photos " UNDER HER SKIN is so much more than a wonderful romance, it’s
a lesson in love and acceptance. It is an experience not to be missed."

I'll admit, I never used to watch a lot of television. I had a few shows I loved. At the start of this season I thought I'd become a big fan of Moonlight, Bionic Woman, and resume my watching of Bones, along with a few other shows. However, I work second shift and that doesn't give me time for evening tv watching. And frankly, there's always other things I can be doing when the tv comes on. I miss an episode or two, and bam, don't care anymore. Saturday nights are devoted to Torchwood and as soon as it returns, Sundays will be Battlestar Galactica night. But that's about it. I noticed something though. This week The Daily Show and The Colbert Report came back with new episodes. I love these shows. I'll confess that I'm one of those people who usually gets her news from these "daily news" programs. However, I find, now that I haven't watched television in any great capacity over the last few weeks that I don't miss them. Yeah, they're still funny and amusing, but my life isn't over if I don't watch them. I'll watch the reruns at midnight, but like last night, I went to bed before The Daily Show was over (after my partner got home from work). I have no desire to catch the reruns today. I'm sorry. For this television watcher, the WGA strike has shown me that I don't need what little television I do watch, and that I can use the time better, such as writing or reading. I don't think I'm alone in this. It's kind of sad, really, because if we all turn away from television, then even if a deal gets signed, there won't be any viewership for new programs, which means that things will never go back to the way they were. We will all have found other outlets for our time and creativity, and the big companies, in their short-sighted grab for profits, will have killed television. The Buggles sang that Video killed the radio star. Maybe, this strike, will have killed television.
