Well, it’s Sunday and I’m just checking in for a few minutes to say thanks to everyone who sent me well-wishes, prayers and positive vibes when I was in the hospital. Two weeks was way too long for me to be gone and I’m so, SO happy to be home you have no idea.
Now of course, if those two weeks had been in Hawaii, that might be a different story…
Happy reading and writing to all. I’m so glad to be back!… Read more »
JANUARY 2010
Her feet skidded on the icy sidewalk. She nearly lost her balance twice before she reached the entrance to the dark alley.
Where her mouth fell open.
If she’d thought Pete needed protecting, she’d been wrong. He had Busir pinned against the side of the brick building and was easily in complete control of the situation.
Blood trickled down his temple. Redness and the beginnings of what looked to be a nasty bruise were forming near his eye. But what stopped her cold was the look of pure malevolence in his eyes as he stared into the face of a … Read more »

He glanced up at the sound of her husky voice. Gone were the black jacket and ice-pick heels. Barefoot and wearing only the slim black skirt and tight-fitting camisole that accentuated her curvy figure, she walked back toward him. Arousal punched through his gut again, shutting down his brain in the process.
“My feet were killing me,” she said.
And she was killing him. His mouth went dry.
She accepted the wine he handed her. “Thank you. What should we drink to?”
A night of mindless sex.
His eyes followed the glass as she lifted it to her lips. … Read more »
It’s quite ironic I was talking about the backstory for STOLEN HEAT yesterday. This review of HEAT just went up today, and I couldn’t be more tickled at what the reviewer had to say not only about the book but about my characters and their “past relationship”. (And the fact she launched a whole new feature on her blog with my book!) I forwarded the review link to my CP who emailed me and said, “I love the way she describes it in her own words, but they end up being just how you were thinking when you … Read more »
Seems the topic of the day is backstory. Debbie’s talking about it over at my chapter blog. Caroline Jewel’s talking about it on Kristin Nelson’s blog. Michelle Rowan FB’d she was having trouble weaving it in without info dumping on her readers. Backstory is such a tricky thing to work with. Esp. when other writers wave the “you may not use flashbacks, it’s lazy writing” card in our faces.
I’m a rule-breaker. I don’t put much stock in what the rules say we “should” or “shouldn’t” do. I think you have to write the story the best way … Read more »
This one from Night Owl Romance:
…Stolen Heat is an awesome combination of deadly suspense, edgy action and a wonderful romance with characters that you’ll laugh, cry and yell with. I had a great time reading it and I’m definitely looking forward to more of Ms. Naughton’s books.

This one’s too good NOT to post.
From Daniel Boucher’s review of STOLEN FURY at 
I believe when it comes to romance, most people have a preconceived notion of helpless, bored women who lie around waiting to be saved by some steel-jawed handsome hero that can do no wrong. I was one of these types. I wasn’t prepared for what Elisabeth gives the reader with her lead heroine, Lisa Maxwell. Lisa is a strong woman, smart, beautiful, and not afraid of her own sexuality. I also wasn’t prepared for the great plot and an enticing storyline that kept me turning … Read more »
