Karen Stivali is a prolific writer, compulsive baker and chocoholic with a penchant for books, movies and fictional British men. When she’s not writing, she can be found cooking extravagant meals and serving them to family and friends. Prior to deciding to write full time Karen worked as a hand drawn animator, a clinical therapist, and held various food-related jobs ranging from waitress to specialty cake maker. Planning elaborate parties and fundraisers takes up what’s left of her time and sanity.

Karen has always been fascinated by the way people relate to one another so she favors books and movies that feature richly detailed characters and their relationships. In her own writing she likes to explore the dynamics between characters and has a tendency to craft romantic love stories filled with sarcasm and sexy details.

Karen has published three erotic romances with Ellora’s Cave: Marry Me (June 2012), Long-Distance Lovers (co-written with Karen Booth, March 2012) and Always You (Passionate Plume First Place Novella Winner, RWA 2012).

Karen’s first full-length novel, Meant To Be, will be published by Turquoise Morning Press on August 26, 2012. Its sequel, Holding On, will be released on November 26, 2012. A prequel to these novels, the short story All I Need, appears in the Foreign Affairs Anthology (Turquoise Morning Press, August 2012).

Teen Magazine published one of my first short stories when I was in my early twenties and I went on to write over a dozen novels and how-to books. My work in television includes episodes of Days of Our Lives and Fantasy Island. I’ve also written screenplay adaptations of novels, including Patricia Hagan’s Love and War, Rebecca Brandewyne’s The Jacaranda Tree and Peggy Webb’s Where Dolphins Go; and I produced (for Romantic Times) the first annual Mr. Romance Cover Model Pageant, which became the model for Oxygen’s Mr. Romance.

In addition, I’ve worked as editor or managing editor for various magazines including Playgirl, and I ghostwrite books and screenplays for doctors, celebrities and corporate moguls. Currently I’m co-authoring The Tracks, a new YA supernatural trilogy, with J. Gabriel Gates, for HCI Books. The first installment, Dark Territory, was released in July 2011. Ghost Crown, the second book in the series, just hit the stands and we’re hard at work on #3: Shadow Train. And we’re getting a lot of interest from producers who want to make it into a TV/web series.

Looking to experience all the universe has to offer, Prince Aristides escapes from the kingdom of Tyto and travels through space to the Emerald Planet, Elatia.

But she remains conflicted as to whether she wants to service clients for the rest of her life, or settle down and raise a family.

EXCERPT TIME!!

“I wasn’t ready for the night to end.” Mr. Handsome threaded his fingers into her hair and brushed his forehead against hers. “Crazy, huh?”

“The night doesn’t have to end yet. Come on.” Willow knew the Smithson Arena like the back of her hand. The closest exit was in the same hallway as an alcove with a cleaning closet. “Are you game?”

“Hell, yes.”

Good thing she’d decided to wear the skirt instead of her normal jeans. Hand in hand, Willow led him to one of the alcoves in the venue. Few people would venture that far down the hallway. Willow backed him against the wall and clutched his shirt. He wore all black, just like the color of his hair. In the bright fluorescent light, he embodied her interpretation of walking sin.

“Don’t want to miss this.” Willow shoved him into the wall and pressed her lips to his. She thrust her hands up under his shirt and explored the contours of his chest.

Mr. Handsome moaned into her mouth and dug his nails into her bottom. His tongue tangled with hers. Willow sucked on him, mimicking what she’d do with his cock. He clutched her skirt and groaned. With her in his embrace, he turned her around and pinned her between his body and the cool concrete wall. Her phone jabbed into her hip, but she didn’t care. She’d passed up too many perfectly good opportunities in favor of being cautious.

He broke the kiss first. “Need you.”

Sexy Cover Saturday ~ A Needful Heart by JM Madden

We've decided on a new venture for Saturdays, the Saturday Sexy Cover. Why? Because after the fracas about photos... well, we don't want any of the nastiness, even if it brings our readers joy. Hey, we don't want to get sued, even if we're sharing the love. Yanno? So, for our very first Sexy Cover Saturday we have:

A Needful Heart by JM Madden

Matt Calvin has watched Gina’s beautiful shape sway up and down the doctor's office hallway for four long years. It’s time to do something about his fascination with her. He’s not relationship material, but he doesn’t expect it to get that far. He just wants to talk to her, man to woman, and put himself out of his misery once and for all. Things never go as planned, though, and when fantasy crashes and burns into reality, Gina pays the price.

Gina doesn’t blame Matt for her injury, but she is appreciative when he steps into her crazy life to help out. Proximity fires the sudden attraction between them and Gina can’t believe she’s overlooked the sexy carpenter for this long. Tattooed and intimidating, he’s not the type she's normally drawn to, but something about him tugs at her heartstrings.

When an explosive situation develops and they have to save a little boy, Matt loses control of his tightly held emotion. Though his heart aches, Matt walks away, both for Gina’s safety and his own sanity. It’s up to Gina to convince him love can heal any heartache.
