Hello, friends:

I am really exicted about my next Kimani romance, KISSING THE MAN NEXT DOOR.

When her teenage son chooses to live with his father and new wife on the other side of the country, hairstylist  and part time lounge singer Mackenzie Reese looks forward to being on her own again. That is until the handsome new neighbor moves in and causes havoc in her life in more ways than one. 

Ian Kelly is a radio disc jockey and part time musician who moves to Cheri Village, Vermont, with his Labrador Retriever, Otis. He hadn’t counted on having a beautiful and sexy next door neighbor to spar with and fall for hot and heavy. 

After a failed college relationship and divorce from an unfaithful husband, Mackenzie had all but given up on men, wanting only to enjoy her freedom. But Ian causes her to rethink this. 

There are problems right off the bat when his dog gets into her garden and he fails to take it seriously. Things get even crazier when, as a favor to an old friend, Ian steps in as the piano man for Mackenzie’s lounge act. The two end up being a good fit as musicians. 

In spite of a clash in personalities at times, there is also undeniable chemistry, to go with a strong romantic attraction, resulting in plenty of steamy passion. 

Just when it seems as if they may be onto something serious, Mackenzie’s fifteen-year-old son, Ryan, shows up, deciding he’s not happy living with his father and new wife, and wants to move back in with her. 

How will this affect Mackenzie’s budding relationship with Ian? Will he get along with her son? Or will they be at each other, spelling doom for Mackenzie’s feeling that Ian was definitely the one? 

The last thing Ian wanted or needed was a hotheaded teenager to contend with while pursuing a dream relationship with Mackenzie. But that’s exactly what he must come to terms with as she now becomes a package deal.  

Can Ian handle it? Or will he back away from commitment as he has done all his life?

Find out the answers when the book is released on May 1st 2009!

Hello and thanks for your kind words on CHRISTMAS HEAT and DESTINED TO MEET.

 As a romantic at heart, I love writing romances as a male in giving readers a different perspective in telling a love story, but with the same emotional intensity, character development, and rich plots as female romance writers.

I hope more talented male authors get on the train and follow in my footsteps and such other bestselling male romance authors as Robert Waller, Nicholas Sparks, Richard Evans, Eric Dickey, and Nicholas Evans.

 Best,

Devon

Hello, all:

 On the Kimani Press MySpace page for the month of September, there will be a feature called, "Getting to Know The Men of Kimani Press."

I am amongst those featured.

There will also be a feature of me this month in the Urban Reviews website.

 I encourage you to check out both.

Stay tuned as well for my next Kimani release, KISSING THE MAN NEXT DOOR, in May 2009.

Best,

Devon

Hello, Tawny:

Yes, that was an amazing thing when the gentleman happened upon the signing at the end, inexplicably to him, and left with four signed books.

 I can tell you that it certainly put a BIG smile on the store manager's face!

Hello, Mary:

Thanks for your kind words with respect to my Kimani romances.

 I am having a lot of fun writing them and lending my voice to the romance genre.

I agree that having the male perspective in romances is definitely a good thing and gives some balance in presenting love stories that typically involve female and male protagonists and points of view.

 Nice to hear that you are an MSU grad too!

GO SPARTANS!!! 

Best,

Hello, Jodie:

 Indeed, it has been wonderful having readers tell me they love my romances.

 I am also happy to be an inspiration to up and coming authors as I once was myself.

 Good luck!
