I forgot I was supposed to blog today. Some people are right brain–some left brain. I’m scatter-brained.

Since I’m not quite prepared how about an excerpt?
Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind

She’d made it. She was on Earth.

And she’d met Sheriff.

A sound on her door drew her attention. Just like last night. Maybe it was Sheriff again.

“Are you decent?” he called out.

Decent? Was he asking her if she was suitable to copulate with? She wasn’t sure about all the customs. Maybe it was best to ask if your partner would be a worthy mate.

She thought she might be a decent partner. Yes, she was almost sure of it.

“Yes, I’m decent.” She sat tall in the bed, her body tingling with anticipation.

His gaze was fixed on the tray he carried as he balanced it and the cups while pushing on the door at the same time. When he looked up, his eyes rounded. The tray dropped from his hands, splashing brown liquid on the floor and breaking the white cups.

“I thought you said you were decent,” he croaked.

“Wouldn’t I make a decent partner to cop…have sex with?”

“No!”

“No?” Her bottom lip puckered.

“I mean yes…but no. Damn it, I thought you meant you had your clothes on.” He bent and picked up the cups and tray. “I have to get a mop.” Grabbing her dress off the back of the chair, he tossed it to her. “Would you please put that on before…before…”

“Before what, Sheriff?”

“Before you find yourself with more trouble than you bargained for. I’m only human.” He turned but before he left called over his shoulder, “And my name is Mason not Sheriff.”

Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind coming April 2007.

Hey, My fabulous editor just sent me some extra copies of Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind. I’ll give one away today. Just answer one simple question. Go to my website www.authorkarenkelley.com and tell me what the last sentence Kristi Ahlers wrote when she reviewed this book. Hint: Look under News Alert on the opening page for a link to the reviews. One winner will be chosen at random and their name posted here in the comments section tonight at 9pm central, and on my blog tomorrow morning. The winner will have until March first to contact me. If she doesn’t (yes, that does happen)then I’ll do another drawing.

e-mail your answer to kskelley@classicnet.net

Best of luck!
