Karen L. Syed is the president and COO of Echelon Press, LLC. Every day is a new success story for her as she continues to grow herself and her business. She has seen seven of her own novels published (writing as Alexis Hart), along with numerous articles and short stories. As a former bookstore owner, she garnered a nomination from Publishers Weekly for their Bookseller of the Year award. She is committed to helping and encouraging everyone she comes in contact with to seek a healthier and more positive quality of life by reaching for their dreams.

Her newest fascination has taken root in the Steampunk industry. This tremendously interesting genre based in the Victorian era is helping to feed a minor obsession with the time period. She is currently embarking on her own Steampunk series called Petticoat Junction. With more than a quarter of a century experience in the book industry, she hopes this one will propel her into the bestseller category. Time will tell.

I have finally taken the time to revise one of my previous novellas adn reissue it with a new cover. TOO FAST FOR LOVE was one of the titles in the Men of Entice anthology from many years back. The story has been languishing for a while, but this sexy race car driver is one of my favorite heroes, so I gave him a little CPR and brought him back to life.

I hope you'll check it out. And when I wrote this story it was with the intent to make it a trilogy, covering all three of the sexy Kaine brothers. Perhaps I need to pen a new story. I'd love to know what you all think.
