HOT SALE, HOTTER HERO!
Compromising Positions is on sale for 99¢ this week only! Which means... a ton of social media promo for yours truly. I'm a big fan of online conversations, not so much about buy my book. So, to keep myself entertained we made up some super fun promo graphics.
It's a funny book, so the graphics match. Kind of. I'm still wondering if we went too far with the Kama Sutra images. But hey, it's a Kama Sutra couples yoga class. Totally legit to illustrate that, right?
Finding the vectors to put on the graphics was hilarious. Do we use ones with two colors? Stick figures or life-like. And... OMG these are actual people! We could not go there, because Facebook jail. Not to mention my readers are all about using their imaginations.
Be honest peeps. Did I take it too far?
Those of you who've already met David & Sophie, it totally fits, right?
Which one is your favorite?

"Compromising Positions would have to be one of the best contemporary romance novels I have read in a long time. Jenna Bayley-Burke delivers it all, romance, humor, and great chemistry between her hero and heroine. It is so well written. The pace is great, and the story line fantastic." - Fallen Angel Reviews
"The sexual tension between Sophie and David will leave you biting your nails in frustration and wanting to yell at them to get on with it already, but once the two finally get together the sparks between the two fly off the pages. With sensual love scenes, flirty repartee, and a man and woman clearly meant to be together, you get everything you could ever want in a romance novel. Overall, I have to say that Compromising Positions is a must read !" - Long and Short Reviews

IRC Book Award Nominations
http://www.indieromanceconvention.com/p/2017-awards-nominations.html
It can be a bit confusing as to what is indie and what is traditional, especially with hybrid authors like myself. The IRC is very inclusive, supporting the author in their career path and not just individual books.
My Western/Cowboy books Anything For a Cowboy & Captivating the Cowboy in Not My First
Rodeo are considered small press (Entangled)
For Romantic Comedy, Compromising Positions is small press
(Entangled), but Just Married & Snowed In are considered hybrid because I
indie publish, but they’re with a large publisher (St. Martin’s).
The entire Under the Caribbean Sun series is independently
published by yours truly and would fit under Contemporary Romance. Or Romantic
Comedy, but only if you think they’re funny. I mean, Caribbean Crush opens with an iguana, so...

Bringing it All Together
I'm not sure how much of the publishing world swirls into the reader world, but some of you may know one of my publishers closed this month. Samhain was the house that built me, and I'm proud of every book we put out together. And now I have them all back.Deciding what to do next is harder than I expected. Some authors have been incredibly successful with self-publishing. The urge to go indie is strong. And so is my sense of self-preservation. Publishing a book is an expensive endeavor, and with a deep backlist, I'd have to sell my minivan just to pay for covers and editing and ISBNs and ad placement and marketing and and and. Not to mention I've tried it, and the results were meh.
And speaking of answers... I've taken some reader letters and woven in answers to the questions some of you had.
- When do David & Sophie get married?
- Are we going to get more Kelly?
- What about Curtis's brother?
- Where are Megan's parents?
- Do Gemma & Danny have their own book?
- Is something going on with Nyla & Diego?
- Did you forget about Carly?
- Who is this mysterious Jack and what does he want from Ava?

It's National Brownie Day!
Who am I to deny such a day a pan or three of brownies? It's my civic duty!
Plus, it reminded be of this exchange in Compromising Positions in David's office ::
Plus, it reminded be of this exchange in Compromising Positions in David's office ::
“Sophie, how
much longer is this going to take?”
“Depends.
Why?” Her eyes narrowed as she looked at David. “I warn you. If you say you
have a date, I can’t be held accountable for my actions.”
He
smiled. “I’m hungry.”
She
rolled her eyes. “You’re always hungry.”
He
nodded. “How about if I order a pizza? Do you like Pizzicato?”
She
shrugged as the spreadsheets began to dance in front of her. “Hot Lips is
better.”
“Sophie,
you promised no kissing until after.”
“Hot
Lips Pizza, you pervert. I thought you actually lived in this town. Pizzicato
is too gourmet for me. Hot Lips is more New York. They have a store right by
the university, so I got hooked. They also have one in the Pearl District, way
too close to Working It Out.” She smiled and looked up at his confused
expression.
“Whatever you want.”
“What’s
good?”
“The
brownies.”

Compromising Positions: The Chocolate Excerpt
I'm chatting about chocolate over at Fresh Fiction today. David & Sophie are such chocoholics I had to find an excerpt showing their Moonstruck Chocolates obsession. Sophie's not physically in this one, but she 's definitely on David's mind.
He
never bothered with the lights; the glimmer from the water was usually enough
to help him find his bed at night and the door in the morning. The warm glow
and buzzing television could mean only one thing. Kelly was here.
Tossing his wallet and keys on the entry table, he went
straight to the kitchen. Kelly always brought food. Really tasty, party-in-your-mouth
food. Maybe she’d brought something sugary. She said sugar was good for sexual
frustration.
His
baby sister didn’t disappoint. Reading “Moonstruck Chocolate Company” on the
lid of the crescent-shaped box, David dove in. As one truffle melted in his
mouth, he rolled another between his fingers and wondered which would be
Sophie’s favorite.
He
liked the Italia Espresso but guessed she would be more the Mayan, with its
milk chocolate, almonds, and cinnamon, or the Ocumarian. Yes, he nodded to
himself, the Ocumarian’s dark chocolate and chili pepper suited her perfectly.
She looked innocent, but she played with fire.
“There
you are,” Kelly said from the doorway to the laundry room he never entered. “I
called your office. They said you have a standing appointment for seven every
Thursday.” His sister stepped closer, standing toe-to-toe with him. At six feet
tall, she could almost look him in the eye. “David, are you seeing a
therapist?”
“What?
No. Why would you ask me that?” He eyed the remaining chocolates, choosing Cinnamon
Roll Latte and grimacing at the cutesy candies that remained. Ivory Cat and
Chocolate Lab. He wasn’t desperate enough to go there, yet.
“There’s
nothing wrong with seeking professional help.”
He
rolled his eyes and leaned his hip against the counter. “And why, exactly, do
you think I need a shrink?”
She
waved her hand in dismissal and walked back to the laundry room. “Everyone
could benefit from a little analysis. I’m just surprised you had a standing
appointment on the books. What is it, a poker game?”
“No,”
he said quickly, running through possible excuses in his mind. What had Sophie
said the other day? Lying is too much work. He tapped his foot on the tile. Enough
thoughts about Sophie.
“Then
what is it?” Kelly asked, carrying a basket of sheets with her. Pulling one
out, she handed two corners to David. “You might as well tell me, because you
know I’m not going to stop asking.”
“None
of your business,” he said as she approached him with her corners, folding the
sheet in half.
“Oh,
now I really want to know. Golf lessons?”
“I
don’t need golf lessons.”
Kelly
took the sheet and finished folding it.
“You
should leave your stuff and let the housekeepers take care of it.”
She ignored him, plucking another sheet from the basket. “I know it’s not a date,
so let me see… Are you meeting with a trainer?”
He
cocked his head. “How do you know it’s not a date? I date.”
“What
you do isn’t dating. Your attention span is too short, and your list of rules
too long for dating.” Kelly set the sheets on the counter and dug in the basket
for the pillowcases, then slowly looked up at him with wide eyes. “Oh my God,
it is a date, isn’t it? You’re finally seeing someone.” She dropped the
pillowcase on the tile, ran at him, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“David, I’m so happy for you. I was so worried you would never let yourself
fall in love with anyone because of Dad.”
“I
didn’t say it was a date, just that it could be. And I’m not in love
with anyone.” Infatuated and preoccupied, but definitely not in love.
“Who
is she?” Kelly asked, beaming up at him. “How long have you known her? What’s
she like?”
“Slow
down, there’s no date.”
Watching
Kelly’s face fall, he felt a little sad. Had the morning at the bakery been a
date? Maybe they were dating. “I’m helping a friend teach a class.”
“A
woman friend?” She didn’t bother to mask the hopefulness in her voice.
“Craig’s
sister-in-law. Sophie.” He watched Kelly’s face as he said the name. Could
she tell?
“Sophie.”
Her eyebrow arched. “What kind of class?”
He was
not going there. “It’s a yoga class for couples.” Omit, don’t lie. That was
Sophie’s philosophy. Damn if it didn’t seem to be working. “Craig and Daphne
usually teach it, but she’s on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. Sophie
fills in for her, and I do Craig’s part.”
“Daphne’s
okay, right?” Kelly asked, putting her folded linens back in the basket.
“Seems
to be. Craig’s freaking out, though.”
“That’s
what he does.” Kelly smiled. “Is it at one of Strong Gyms?”
“No,
Working It Out. It’s a women-only center Daphne and Sophie own.”
Kelly
picked up her basket and headed back for the laundry room. “In the Pearl District. I’ve heard
of it. You know they teach a class…” The basket hit the floor with a slap, and
she spun around. “Get out!”
David’s
stomach twisted. His baby sister had figured out exactly what kind of class he
was helping teach. “It’s not what you think.”
“That
class is for committed couples only! How long have you been keeping this from
me?”
His mind
whirled. Just how popular was this class? “How did you know that?”
Kelly
looked him in the eye. “Kevin and I are on the waiting list.” Kelly and Kevin
had been together since high school and engaged for three years. If Kevin
weren’t attending medical school in Washington and Kelly at OHSU, they’d be
married by now. He figured they were having sex, but he didn’t want to think
about it. He shook the thought from his head and marched into the living room.
“You
didn’t answer my question.” She chased after him. “How long has this been going
on?” He ignored her, still trying to block the mental image of his sister
showing up for that class.
“No wonder,”
Kelly said, sinking into the leather sofa.
His muscles tensed at her know-it-all tone. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“You
haven’t been going out lately. You know, on your little trolling expeditions.”
He
didn’t want to think about how long it had been since he’d had sex. Sophie kept showing him that it had
been far too long.
“You’re
reading this all wrong, Kelly. It’s not what you think. I’m just helping her,
nothing more. She’s really not my type.”
“That
could be a good thing.”
He was
starting to think so, too.

Compromising Positions Release Day Blast
💕¸.•´¸.•*´¨)✯ ¸.•*¨
💕✮ (¸.•´✮
When fitness empire CEO David Strong agrees to help teach a yoga class for couples based on poses in The Kama Sutra, he’s put in one compromising position after another. Especially since the instructor is his best friend’s little sister-in-law, doesn’t have a lot of experience with men, and is totally off-limits. She’s everything David’s never wanted. So he can’t understand why he suddenly needs her so much.
Sophie DelFino has fantasized about David for over a decade, but he has a type, and she’s far from it. He’s also got all sorts of rules and reasons why they shouldn’t be together. Good thing Sophie is all about bending the rules.
