Ms. McKay is a talented author…the woman can write! Her books are also very sexy :) But the thing I love the most about her books are the characters. They are just so lovable.

One of my Favorite Authors
I’ve only read two of Emily McKay’s books (Perfectly Saucy and Her Wildest Dreams), but she’s way up there on my list of favorite authors.

Favorite Quotes
Someone made the remark recently that I have a quote for every situation. That’s not true, because some events or situations simply leave me speechless. But, I do have a tendency to remember quotes. Unfortunately, I also have difficulty remembering who said them :)
From time to time I’ll be sharing some of my favorite quotes, and hopefully will be able to give credit to the proper person for them.
“Act like you got some raising.” -- Isn’t that just one of the most southern phrases you've ever heard? I have no clue who was the first person to use this phrase, but I can tell you that my grandmother said this to me often. Now I say it to my children, and I imagine someday they’ll say it to their children.
“It is no sin to attempt and fail. The only sin is not to make the attempt.” -- Suellen Fried
“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” -- Jimmy Dean
If you have a favorite quote, I’d love to hear it!

Top Ten Female Fantasies--Contest/Drawing!
This summary is not available. Please

RWA National Conference
I just returned from the RWA (Romance Writers of America) National Conference, which was held this year in Atlanta, GA. There were tons of workshops, publisher spotlights (where editors discuss the types of stories that they’re currently seeking), booksignings, luncheons, award presentations, etc. And for brave souls, editor and agent appointments to pitch your manuscript(s).
This was my first time attending the conference. It was exhausting and frankly a little overwhelming. There was so much to do and not enough time to squeeze it all in.

Blurb for Her Protector
Since I’m sure you’re all curious to know what my first book is about, here’s the blurb:
Her Protector
Rating: Sensual
Available September 2006 from New Concepts Publishing
After escaping from an abusive relationship and arriving in her hometown of Lexington, Oklahoma, Tricia Stephens needs help in a big way to stay one step ahead of her ex-boyfriend. Fearful of police involvement and flat broke, she's still reluctant to accept help from Clint Owens, a man she had a disastrous and humiliating affair with eight years earlier. His sudden appearance and white-knight-in-shining-armor act doesn't impress her, even if he does have the full support of her friends.
The sight of bruises on Tricia's face is all Clint needs to feel justified in doing whatever is necessary to keep her safe. When she balks at accepting his help, he doesn't hesitate to use force as a method of persuasion. He's determined to protect her, even if she fights him every step of the way.
With each passing day Clint's supportive and caring attitude slowly weakens Tricia's resolve to keep him at a distance. Still, it's imperative she remembers that he's already proven himself to be untrustworthy and capable of betrayal. And she mustn't forget that domineering side of him that had shown itself recently--a side she'd never known existed. It certainly hadn't been in her plan to trade in one controlling man for another.

About Me
I figured my very first post on my new blog should be the 'let me tell you about myself' post. And since I've recently written an author’s bio for my publisher, well, heck, I’m just going to copy and paste it :)
Pamela Tyner was reading by the age of four and hasn't stopped since. As a child her family often worried that she spent too much time reading...as if such a thing were possible. By high school she was creating her own stories, although it wasn't until years later that she actually put them on paper and begin pursuing the dream of publication.
After spending fifteen years in the corporate world, she is now a stay-at-home mom/author who accepts the occasional job when the mood strikes or the bank account balance demands it.
Born and raised in the south, with the accent to prove it, she currently lives in North Carolina with her husband and two sons. Living in a home with three musicians--a drummer, a saxophonist, and a trumpeter--who love to play their music often and loud, she savors those quiet times when she can read and write without distraction.
Her first novel, Her Protector, will be released September 2006 from New Concepts Publishing.
