Catching Pitches, Plus a Few More Throws

Pitch answers: First was "Cinderella," then "Snow White," then "Red Ridinghood." Yes, I am twisted.

What I am doing is practicing "pitches" for my meetings with agents and editors at the Romance Writers of America conference in San Francisco later this month. Try these on for size:

PLEASURE: Ann knew everything about sex and nothing about pleasure. Neil knew everything about pleasure and nothing about love. And the two of them were put on a collision course by his eight-year-old son, Aidan, who needed them both.

JUST FOR THE NIGHT: Bad Boy Jase Redlander has changed his lifestyle for the better over the past fifteen years. Reclaiming high school sweetheart Lauren Harlow would be dream come true, if he can accept her as she is now, so different from what she was then. Both Jase and Lauren must come to terms with their painful pasts in order to have a future together.

BLOOD TRAIL: Tally wants to bring the murderer of her friend Helen to justice so she hires sexy ex-cop Stephen O'Malley to help her. Tally is immediately attracted to Stephen--but it's a natural: he's warm-blooded and she's a vampire.
