I'm a proud member of this anthology that's gotten stars from PW & Library Journal!Lying In Bed
After years of toying with the idea... my first erotic novel. In stores May 30th. Order now.The Delilah Complex
"Erotic, suspenseful, impossible to put down. M. J. Rose acknowledges sexuality's power - and danger - in a highly original thriller that keepsyou guessing right up to its surprising final twist. I loved it." - Joseph Finder
Finalist for the Anthony Award: The Halo Effect
"Utterly fascinating! Fans of Kay Scarpetta will be equally captivated by sex therapist Morgan Snow, whose job has her too often confronting the dark-side of human nature." - Lisa Gardner
Finalist for the 2004 Anthony Award for Best Original PaperbackSheet Music
"No one writes so simply and superbly about such lush things as food and sex as M.J. Rose -- and at the same time, gets deep inside the heart and mind of a wonderfully complicated heroine.

"Intensely erotic and compelling, Flesh Tones explores the disturbing realm that lies between love and obsession." -- Tess Gerritsen, author of The SurgeonIn Fidelity
"Rose offers a well-crafted study of infidelity, wrapped within the context of a psychothriller. ... a fast paced-tale ... altogether a satisfying blend." --Kirkus ReviewsExcerpted in Susie Bright's Best American Erotica : Lip Service
"M.J. Rose blends the dark eroticism of Anais Nin with the lusty cravings of Erica Jong, and delivers a refreshingly open look at a modern woman's sexual coming-of-age." -- Katherine Neville, Author of The Eight

OMG, this is too darned funny! And you're right, M.J. Sadly, I have met my fair share of authors who have no idea how to market their books.
Some don't even know what a blog is and others don't even have a website.
I am happy to say I'm doing all of this. This is the life of an author. :)

Whenever authors talking about marketing and they say, "I have a blog..." I cry a little on the inside.
Okay, actually I laugh... But if I weren't a heartless bastard, I'd cry.
