I LOVE My New Cover

I'm in love ~ with my new cover.

Okay, I really really really really like it.

I listened to a sermon this morning about love. We tend to use the word "love" when we don't really mean it. When we like (a lot) a pair of hot shoes, an awesome book, a lovely cover, a new I Pad, when we're really in lust...

Love should be reserved for that special, uncomparable feeling between two special people (or as menage authors and readers would argue - three or more people).

Love can also be felt for family, friends, and pets.

My husband would argue that he loves softball and I would argue that he loves it more than he loves me.

My ex-fiance once chastised me when I said I "loved" something (I don't remember what now except that it was some inanimate object).  I had to admit I agreed with him. This morning's sermon reminded me. And then I received my lovely new cover tonight and again I thought "I love it!"

In case you're wondering about the hero's and heroine's dress, this is a time-travel romance back to the late 1970s, one of my favorite times. It was a lot of fun to write and to reminisce.

Carnal Lust: Erotic Vampire Romance - New Release!

My erotic vampire romance "Carnal Lust" releases Monday, May 17, 2010 at Total-E-Bound.

It's been awhile since I've had a vampire romance release and this is the first at TEB. It's also a time-travel historical romance, the first in awhile for me and the first also at TEB.

Please check it out and let me know if you enjoy the excerpt.

Blurb:
Kes is obsessed with killing Nikolai – to prevent him from destroying Earth 900 years into the future.
 Kes is obsessed with eliminating Nikolai before he's reborn as the evil vampire who destroys Earth and propels her family into the past.

Once she finds the Nikolai of her present is a good and kind man she's not sure she can hold the very sexy human accountable for something he hasn't yet done.







Excerpt:
Kes languished in the arms of her lover, a man she knew not by name but by his deep, sexy voice and his intoxicating kisses. She bade the sun not to set so she could steal more time in his arms, for when the moon chased the sun out of the sky, her lover would evaporate and she would be thrust back into the real world. And the real world was hell.


But this was heaven, if a vampire could be in heaven. She writhed and twisted in his arms, pressing her naked flesh to his. He was lithe and strong for a human, and he never failed to pleasure her.

“Are you in the mood to play, milady?” her lover murmured against her flesh.

She tilted her lips into a smile and nodded. “Wild and rough.”

He beamed at her with a sparkle in his eyes. “Whatever milady wishes.”

When he shackled her to the bed posts, her stomach pressed to the mattress, her legs spread wide, she didn’t demur. She squirmed with anticipation, her pussy clenching.

She turned her head and watched as he spread oil over his beautiful cock and then climbed aboard the bed. She lay there helpless, swaying with the motion as he approached stealthily. Her ass clenched, too, yearning for his touch. When he delivered a stinging slap to her bare buttocks, she screamed in a mixture of pain and pleasure. Never before had anyone spanked her, and she tingled.

Titillated, she rubbed her breasts against the bed, cajoling him to unite with her. But he sat beside her and ran the tips of his fingers across her back, to the edges of her breasts then pulled back. He walked them to the small of her back and withdrew again.

“Do you not wish to make love to me? To fuck me?”

“Are you that anxious to feel my cock move inside you? To be one with me?” He drew himself up to his knees and drew the tip of his cock along her side.

He bent by her ear and dipped his tongue inside. Then he whispered huskily, “Does that feel good? How bad do you want it?”

Her rear throbbed with an exquisite ache but not enough. She yearned for much more. “I crave your cock. I want you to fill me, to be inside me. Now.”

"Caral Lust is available at Total-E-Bound.

Friday Fill-ins: October 2nd

Happy Friday! TGIF

Here are my answers to today's Friday Fill-ins.


1. I have a history of going boldly where no woman has gone before - writing paranormal time-travel and futuristic space romances.

2. How to play the stock market and make money is something I wish I knew.

3. I'm eating (or recently ate) tongue-burning Mongolian Beef.

4. Tomorrow morning bright and early, hubby will be on the road to a softball tournament for the entire weekend. I'm free!

5. So that's it, that's tough.

6. To have love and lost is better than nothing!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching Smallville, tomorrow my plans include editing two books and visiting with my grandchildren and Sunday, I want to see my friends Linda and Linda or travel in 23rd century space with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock.

I also want to find a good, used Sony e-reader or e-reader type device. 


I checked around online tonight for a bit to find an affordable e-reader that hopefully also can play MP3 music. 


A phone that has an e-reading device, an MP3 player, and a camera would be really awesome. I will have to spend some serious time this weekend trying to find out if there is such an animal and if so, what it (they) is called and where I can get one.


Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of money to play with and so I'm open to buying a used one if it's in good working order. Refurbished is okay.


I checked out E-bay but they all seemed to be new for $300 and more.

Smart Bitches had a few e-Reader reviews recently so I'll have to reread their opinions and start from there - unless someone comments here with some sage advice.


If you don't know what an e-Reader is, it's a hand-held electronic device on which you read books - electronic books - like the ones I write. 


They are about the size of a book although different brands and versions vary in size.


I want one that can download books from any publishers website, not only from Amazon (Kindle). Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't carry all my publishers' books, only some. I don't understand the logic.


I also want an e-Reader where I can upload my own books so I can edit my work on the go. I used to do that with my Franklin e-book reader, but I'm afraid it went to the e-book reader heaven a long time ago. Compared to the newer version, the Franklin is pretty clunky and heavy.
