CONGRATS ALISON, FOR WINNING T’S IH SPOTLIGHT. GREAT PRIZE TOO. ENJOY IT!

And now onto this week’s spotlight author… MARI CARR.

The first time I learned about Mari Carr, I was reading this incredibly hot, incredibly brilliant novella called Erotic Research. So entranced was I with the book, and the hero, Ross, I posted to the Samhain Cafe about it, expressing my awe, only to receive like a gazillion mails back by other readers saying, “D’uh. Of course it’s brilliant.”

I started noticing Mari around the Cafe quite a bit then. Whenever she had a chat, I liked to go along because she was always good for a laugh. Plus, she always seemed to have countless offerings of yummy looking cocktails.

Then came her next Samhain book: Tequila Truth. It was no surprise that this book was just as good, and just as hot, as Erotic Research. And by this time, I was a Mari Carr fan for life. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I was invited to join International Heat, and discovered Mari would be one of my IH sisters. Now it’s a funny thing, IH. I’ve gotten to know my IH sisters pretty well, and I’ve learned a few things about them. Mari included.

One thing I’ve learned is the real truth behind her book “Tequila Truth.” Now if you’ve read the book, you might think it’s all about three close friends telling each other their deepest, most erotic secrets while under the influence of tequila. But the real truth behind the title is that Mari loves tequila. End of story.

Okay, not quite end of story. She loves alcohol – period.
In fact, while writing her books, Mari has had some interesting working titles. Did you know “Erotic Research” was originally called “Research into absolutely anything to do with liquor.” Then there are her Ellora’s Cave releases. (She has about a million of them:)

“Scoring” was originally called “Drinking”. “Sugar and Spice” was named “Beer and Brew.” “Everything Nice” was of course “Wine is Nice” and finally, “Covert Lessons”… Well actually, Covert Lessons did not have a working title. Mari was too busy studying different beers of the world to think up a good one.

But I digress. Here’s what I’m really here for. To introduce you to Mari’s incredible list of books:

From Ellora’s Cave:

Scoring ebook	Sugar and Spice ebook	Everything Nice ebook	Retreat ebook
Spitfire ebook	Covert Lessons ebook	Kiss Me, Kate ebook

From Liquid Silver:

No Regrets More Information	No Recourse More Information

And finally, her new bestseller from Samhain:

If you haven’t read Mari’s books, you’re missing out. Big time! Treat yourself. Go ahead and buy one… (I dare you.)
