Writing the HOT love scene

Okay...I got back in the groove today. I wrote a good hot beginning to a love scene. I was squirming in my chair...at borders. It flowed. It felt good. Too good for a tiny table at Borders. ;D

How bad is that? I'm at border looking around making sure no one is reading over my shoulder. They would probably die of shock from the scene I'm writing...and that's only the foreplay in the scene.

Okay...back to work at the EDJ.

But how do you handle writing/reading HOT sex scenes in public places?

Not a productive weekend

This has not be a productive weekend for me. I am trying to finish Sacrifice before the 31st. I doubt I will but I will finish it before I leave to go to CT for my job.

So stop in and chat for a while. You never know it could be your night to win!

Writing going slow...

The weekend is over. It's a sad and undeniable fact. The weekend is too short. It always is. Now it's back to work. Back to writing as much as possible at lunch. My EDJ is killing me. I want at least 1 - 2 weeks off in order to complete the projects I am working on.

I hope I have the time to finish Sacrifice this week then I can do as much if not more than before.

A short sexy exercpt from The Diamond Heartstone

“Look. I am not your mate. I don’t know how else to say this. How to make you understand.” She moved around the room, trying to keep him at arm’s length.

“There is only one way to tell if we are mates.” He moved slowly. Stalking her.

“I don’t think so.” She kept moving, trying to stay exactly opposite him. The bed was proving to be a better blocker than the chair on that damn matchbox of a ship.

“If we do this and we’re not mates, I will take you back home.”

That brought her up short. Back home. One time and she could go home. If she didn’t take him up on this, he might decide to just not take her home at all. One time. Just one time and she could go home and forget this crazy day ever happened.

“One time and you take me home.”

“If we’re not mates. If we are mates, this will be your new home.” He leveled a gaze on her. This wasn’t an agreement so much as a command.

“What if you think we’re mates and I don’t?”

“There is no mistaking a true mating. No denying it.” He took another step towards her.

She took a step away. If she was going to do this, she needed to stop backing away. No matter how much half of her disagreed. He said he would take her home. She had no choice but to trust him.

“Okay,” she said, taking a deep breath.

He rounded the bed and walked to her. She didn’t move. Didn’t try to run away. She’d made her decision. One time. And one time only.

He stopped right in front of her. “You will enjoy this.” He stroked her chin and tilted her face up to him. His lips dipped down and covered hers. Funny, she didn’t feel any whiskers. No fur. His lips were soft and he tasted like pure decadence. She pulled in a deep breath. Her nostrils filled with his overpowering male scent with a hint of a deep forest smell.

Stop. She refused to enjoy this. Refused. He bit her lips softly. Small tiny bites. Not enough to hurt, but enough to entice her into opening her mouth.

What more needs to be said?

I'm on the Cobblestone-Press Coming Soon Page

Yep...doing more snoopy dancing.

I turned in my final round of edits last night. The entire editing process was relatively painless. And now I have an even better book to show for it. Hopefully sales will reflect that.

Go check it out

I'm the third one down. In case you couldn't tell.

Nekkid Man Cover!!!

The Diamond Heartstone has a Cover!



Very sexy huh?

Ready for the blurb....

Alycia's always possessed an affinity for cats, big and small. But when she's kidnapped by a being more feline than human it turns from an asset to a issue. A six-foot five sexy one.

Barrick never dreamed when he paid the best matchmaker in the galaxy to find his mate she would choose one so... different. Alycia is a headstrong, opinionated, melt in your mouth delicious distraction. She's nothing he wanted and everything he needs.

70 days of sweat!

70 days of sweat! 70 days to whip my mss. into shape. I need to finish Sacrifice before the 15th to be ready for this. My plan. Complete the second book in the Heartstone series and complete a new erotic horror story The Dark Tarot.

On another note, I should have the cover art and blurb up for The Diamond Heartstone sometime tomorrow. It should also be up at Cobblestone Press on the Coming Soon page for next month. Check out the nekkid man.

Cover Art

How much does it matter to you? How close does it have to be to the story inside the pages of the book? Say if the hero has a scar on his chest in the book but no scar on the chest on the cover. Does that irk you?

Or there's a tatoo that is distictive and mentioned serveral times in the book. If it's not on the arm on the cover do you feel jipped?

Me, I like to think the person on the cover is the hero or heroine so do I feel jipped. Sometimes. Am I pissed, not really. But when the cover matches the book exactly I do remember it better.

What about you?

Blurbs Done

I finished the blurb for the Diamond Heartstone. Now if you thought writing was hard. Try condensing an almost 20K book down to 100, 50, 25, 12 words. Oh my god!
