NICKED HEARTS by Mickie Sherwood

~~Sweet, spicy romance a heartbeat away~~

Valentine’s Day surgery trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey? OVER HER DEAD BODY!

Rambunctious runaway K.C. Montreaux - thirtyish and coddled - crashes the men's room at Bush Intercontinental and straight into Nick Hart. His clear eyes x-ray through her while she hovers with a facetious grin on a lovely caramel face. A ruckus launches her to an empty stall and forces him into defense mode. Drafted actions cloak Nick's deceit - from the mainland to Maui - as he helps outwit her pursuer.

Will K.C. snuff out their combustible emotions like hushed Haleakala or forgive Nick's misguided lies?

Dare his nicked heart dream?

LOUISIANA HOT SAUCE by Mickie Sherwood

Reclusive Mesha Rayburn's safe haven disintegrated when athletic Jack Connolly raced into her life. He was like an uninvited guest to her pity party. Yet, his brashness stoked her dormant emotions and injected spunk into her veins with every bated word. And--calling the cinnamon-skinned Black woman "biggety" didn't help matters.

Mechanic Jack Connolly thought the trip down South to patch up and retrieve the bullet-ridden helicopter would be a pain. He never imagined the rhetoric becoming reality. But, thanks to Mesha's panicked outcry, it had. The pain radiating in his palm bothered him less than the one in his rear. Bold and beautiful, he had to know why she hid out in the boonies. As her transient tenant, he intended to find out at the risk of feeling the sting of her Louisiana Hot Sauce temper.

    Authorisland,

    What happens when the celebrant stays up all night in anticipation of the next day's event? She has to come running in in high heels and skid to a stop. That's me!

    I've been writing for quite a while. Finally, worked up the nerves to submit my stories because I found my niche.

    I'm a lover of different genres. But, my observations told me sweet IR/MC romances needed another voice. Now, just because they're sweet doesn't mean they can't have a little spice.

    My area of the state is known for its spicy culture. So, I'm proud to introduce your readers to Louisiana Ladies unafraid of loving outside-of-the-box in Nicked Hearts and Louisiana Hot Sauce.

    I also have a sweet paranormal African-American story just in time for Halloween. She's also an LL.

    Guess what? I wanted to give something back to my readers. So, Azure Apparition is No Cost 2 Read and located right at Mickie's Manor Louisiana Lady.

    Find the "key" and enter to "enjoy".

    It's fun already! Keep the questions coming.

    Thanks, ya'll.

    Hi, Debbie,

    Actually, I've not thought of that. If you've visited my blog you've seen that it seems I can't stand at the stove without my camera.

    I just love snapping pictures.

    Now, you've given me a new venture to think about.

    Thanks for coming and for the question.

    Oh I love finding new authors!

    My grandmother was from the south and I love the tough stock these women are made of. And it sounds like your heroines are tough and sassy.

    Are these you're first two books?

    Thanks for the free read. I can't think of a better way to check out a new author.

    Hi, Katie,

    Yes. Louisiana Hot Sauce was released in 2010. Nicked Hearts was released in 2011.

    My heroines, Mesha and K.C., are women of conviction when it comes to love. But, sometimes with conviction comes conflict. Yet, love wins in the end.

    My No Cost 2 Read read is my first paranormal romance. It's my pleasure to give something back to readers.

    Thank you for taking time to drop by.

    Don't forget to visit my blog for some good Southern eats.

    Gumbo, anyone?

    When writing do you find it easier to get into the hero or the heroine's head?

    Katsrus, Hi,

    I'm glad you stopped by. What took the longest time was pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone. I've had my share of rejection letters. But, hey, where would I be if I didn't even try?

    From acceptance to published date for Louisiana Hot Sauce was about 8 months. Man, did I learn a few things.

    It wasn't nearly as long for Nicked Hearts.

    And of course, I'm always working on something else. I like tricked out big rig trucks and Bayou country. Right now, they're two different stories.

    Hmmm. There might be a change in plan.

    Don't forget to visit my blog for some good "eats".

    Thanks for your time.

    Hi, Leni,

    Now, that's a great question. One I've never thought about.

    Well, if you'd have asked me that before Azure Apparition, I would have said getting into the heroine's head is easier. Somehow, Frank Hickman was stuck up there this last go round. And I had to get him out.

    I guess the answer is: it just depends on my mood.

    Visit Mickie's Mutterings. I've been cooking, again.

    Hopefully, before the weekend's over there'll be some new smells over there.

    Thanks,
    Leni

    Jen B.,

    I'm glad to have the opportunity to do a giveaway. I've been wanting to do one for a long time. You know that comfort zone thingy I mentioned earlier. It got in the way. Then, along came Authorisland.

    Fished me right out of the sea of uncertainty. Cast me onto solid ground.

    And here I am. Not floundering, either.

    I appreciate your visit.

    Mickie

    Oh, I'm going to head over to your blog. I love me some southern cookin'! I love jomblia (have no idea how to spell it, but I love it)lol

    Your books look like great love stories and fun heroines. Are they both IR and are the books you're working on IR? Is the IR aspect of the story a big part of it or is it just simply the way it is. Did my question make sense?

  18. Mickie SherwoodOctober 16, 2011 at 11:01 AM

    Good morning, Flchen1,

    This was my big "do"! What's next? I have a couple WIPs. Plus, I hope to hear positive news on another Mickie sweet read.

    Keep your fingers crossed.

    Thanks for visiting.
    Mickie

    LOL,Sharon,

    Yes, your questions make sense.

    Both of those are IR romances. The difference in cultures is back story to overcome conflict and move the story to a loving end.

    The characters have issues more important than those differences.
    If there are problems with them being together, it's not their problem.

    Now, for the jambalaya. :)

    That's another love dish. You gotta really "luv" standing over the stove to do that dish justice.

    I'll put that on my list.

    Keep visiting Mickie's Manor and Mickie's Mutterings.

    Mickie
