About me:

Hello and welcome everyone to my official MySpace profile!

I'm so excited and cannot wait for you all to read my new book,THE WAY YOU LOVE ME. Here's more about it. . .

The Grayson Saga continues with The Grayson Friends. Readers clamored for the Grayson of New Mexico series not to end with ONLY YOU. They wanted to know if their friends and family found love. One man, Shane Elliott,piqued reader's interest the most. Bold, gorgeous and deadly--Shane didn't have time for a woman--until he met one he couldn't forget

THE WAY YOU LOVE ME, will be in stores nationwide, August 26, 2008. Take a look at my new book trailer below and tell me what you think!

WOW! More great news . . . December 2007, NOT EVEN IF YOU BEGGED received RomanceJunkies.com' Blue Ribbon Favorite Award!

Thank you Christina, Blue Ribbon Favorite Co-Coordinator, and everyone at RomanceJunkies.com!

So what are reviewers saying about NOT EVEN IF YOU BEGGED?

ESSENCE MAGAZINE's books editor, Patrik Henry Bass wrote:

STEADY AS SHE GOES

If you haven't read the juicy Francis Ray novels, such as Any Rich Man Will Do, check out her twentieth (yes, twentieth!), and perhaps best, tale, Not Even if You Begged (St. Martins Press, $12). Like Ray's previous tomes, Begged features a driven heroine who has all the answers at work but not so many in matters of the heart. This time around we meet lovely Traci Evans, a widowed attorney. She has mixed feelings about grieving for her husband, who met his maker when he was cheating with another woman while piloting a twin-engine plane. Traci swears off men and throws herself into her career until she meets Ryan, a man with a heart of gold who's the hunky son of her best friend. Will Traci open herself up and allow love in, or is this honey dip too good to be true?

WOW! Thanks Patrik Bass for that great review!

Below is the trailer for NOT EVEN IF YOU BEGGED The Invincible Women Series celebrates/highlights the resiliency and strength of women and the incredible men who are blessed to love them. The series is loosely linked as a secondary character from a previous book becomes the main character in the next book. Books in this series are:
LIKE THE FIRST TIME - Book 1
ANY RICH MAN WILL DO - Book 2 (Jana from LIKE THE FIRST TIME)
IN ANOTHER MAN'S BED - Book #3 Feb, 2007 (Brooke from ANY RICH MAN WILL DO)
IN ANOTHER MAN'S BED,

-----

My 35th novel, ONLY YOU, book #5 of the Graysons of New Mexico released October 1, 2007, completes that beloved family series! We've watched Sierra meddle in the affairs of her older four brothers in -- UNTIL THERE WAS YOU, YOU AND NO OTHER, DREAMING OF YOU, and IRRESISTIBLE YOU-- now it's Sierra turn. Blade Navarone, billionaire real estate mogul, is known to be ruthless and relentless. Neither expected a chance meeting to change their lives forever. I hope you enjoy ONLY YOU as much as I enjoyed writing it! Be sure to order your copy of ONLY YOU online today!

And to everyone who simply loves this family and don't want the series to end, I have great news for you! The Grayson Family series continues in 2008 with SHANE'S WOMAN and CAMERON'S DESTINY!So visit my official website for news about these stories or join my Readers' Group to stay abreast of all new books and to keep in touch with me!

I just finished reading The Way You Love Me.
I LOVED IT!
Thank you. I cant wait until you write Rio's story. 'Paige' was right. It will take a special and fearless woman to get to Rio.
I'm looking forward to Cameron's story, although I wish we wouldnt have to wait so long!
Lol. Thanks again for a wonderful story!
