So, the other day at work it was someone’s birthday and we forgot or didn’t know and everyone looked at me and I said what? They had this half arsed theory that I should have known because Tinkerbell, who used to be in my place and lasted two seconds before scarpering after doing a crap job, used to have a list of birthdays and she would produce cakes for these occasions and I expect people oohed and ahhed in appreciation. The question was then asked of me, had I made up a birthday list with the names of the people – who range in age from 25 to 50 – for birthdays. No. Was I going to? No. Why? Because frankly I’ll forget, I have other stuff to do – let’s face it if I have time to stuff around with a birthday list I’d rather use that on the work internet for personal business - and basically you’re all grown ups. I did advise that I was happy for someone else to make a list and take Tinkerbell’s place. This apparently ruins the surprise. How I’m not sure but I did point out that forgetting and not getting a cake was also a surprise so maybe we continue with that tradition. On further questioning I discovered that no one really cared whose birthday it was as long as they got something to eat. Ah. Of course. Offices – hot beds of intrigue? No – just greedy people sitting on their arses and contemplating what to eat next. No surprise there.

No birthday cake for you!

Sex on a Stick…
…some men are. ‘Ever notice that? Nah, me neither.
Anyway here’s the cover for Sex on a Stick. A huge thanks to the cover goddess Fiona at Noble Publishing. Sex on a Stick is released in May. More on that later – but – for now…the blurb…
Romany Belle and Macnair Palmer work for the same company. They are enemies. The last thing they want to do is go away together on a business trip. However what starts out as office warfare soon becomes hot, driving need and out of control passion to touch and taste as enemies become lovers.
Romany goes from hating Mac to needing him. The problem is she doesn’t want everyone in the office to know that they’re having sex. But how can she pretend indifference when she really wants to fuck the stuffing out of Mac?
One learns so much working in offices…
