It’s Time For An Update!

I’ve just days ago returned from a ten day vacation to the Pacific Northwest. While I travel a lot for my writing I don’t get a lot of other vacation time. But since it was my 20th wedding anniversary I was bound and determined to do something special. And let me tell you, if you’ve never visited the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State, you are missing out. Loved it!

But now it’s time to get back to work and really get a lot done for the rest of the year. So what’s new or coming up? Why let me tell you. *grins*

Just yesterday I was interviewed at the ParaYourNormal Blog Talk Radio show and it was certainly a lot of fun. You can listen to it on their ParaYourNormal Blog Talk Channel. If you are interested in what’s coming next in the world of my shapeshifting cougars, you want to listen to the interview.

Yesterday was a very productive day as I also finished writing a proposal for a sequel to my contemporary romance book, Midnight Playground, and sent that off to my editor. Cross your fingers for me on that. I’m really pumped about where I’ve decided to take the series. In fact, it wasn’t planned to be a series at all but as all good ideas do, this one smacked me upside the head and left me no choice but to explore it further. Hopefully I will be very busy the next few months writing this story.

I am currently about half way through the writing of Dark Magic Desire, a new witch book with a unique twist on control and evolution. At least as far as witches go. This book has been a long time coming and with a little luck and a lot of perseverance it will be completed soon.

I’ve updated the blog sidebar here with all the current writing projects. Or at least the next 4. Although I do have a secret one or two I hope to fit in somewhere. ;)

I also reached out to Facebook and Twitter looking for some specific book recommendations and thanks to the feedback I have started reading a new series that is really good so far. I’ve been wanting to read Sophie Oak for a while now and as you can see from the sidebar I have begun.

My summer weekly movie quest continues with The Green Lantern this week and Super 8 last week. Thought the Green Lantern was pretty good and really liked Super 8. There have been so many awesome movies this summer I can hardly keep up. Definitely on tap for this weekend or next week are Cars 2 and Bad Teacher. And then of course after that is the long awaited Transformers. Wheeee!

Just looking at the movie releases through August I am seeing 10 more potentials I’d like to go see. Yowsa my budget!

Of course, while I was gone I had a brand new book release. Please check out this new BDSM Menage Romance.  It’s early days for Submissive Beauty yet and I’m anxiously awaiting reviews and reader feedback. Although special thanks to Robin who let me know on Facebook yesterday that she loved it. Woot!

If you read Submissive Beauty I’d love it if you left it your honest review at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Also, in the next few weeks you can expect to see the 3rd Magick book, Force of Magick be re-released as well as the 4th Purgatory book, Burned. More details to follow as their release dates grow near.

As the summer progresses I am sure more will happen. In the meantime you can always find me on Twitter and Facebook.

I also think it’s about time I cook up some new contests…

Have a good one!

Submissive Beauty Excerpt!

Because I love y’all I am posting this excerpt from my vacation in the wilds of Washington state on a precarious internet connection. lol If you’d like to see a few pics from the trip so far be sure to check me out on facebook.

Are you ready for another BDSM menage with some light suspense included?

I don’t think I need to warn you about the scorching heat level but just in case you haven’t read one of my books, I’d highly recommend some oven mitts for holding your ereader.

Betrayal lurks on the path to total surrender…

Submissive Beauty released yesterday and is now available to buy at Resplendence Publishing. I know many of you are anxious to buy it direct from Amazon, B&N or All Romance eBooks and it will get there soon but in the meantime did you know that when you buy an eBook directly from Resplendence Publishing that you get a zip file with all the formats the book comes in included?

If like me you’ve ever struggled with figuring out which format works on what reader, or even worse bought the wrong format, this is ideal!

Now for an additional sneak peek at Submissive Beauty:

Excerpt

Gabby turned her car down Franklin Street, and her anxiety soared to an all-new level. She’d gotten dressed per instructions and rushed out the door. A glance at the dashboard clock said ten minutes until her deadline, and she still wondered what the hell she was doing. Every possible scenario she’d imagined led to nothing but more questions.

What would Thomas do to her if she went through with this?

Surely he would touch her, but how far did he intend to push her in one night? Her mind raced with myriad possibilities as fear gripped her so tight she found herself strangling the steering wheel.

Get a grip Gabby. This is what you’ve been waiting and wishing for, isn’t it? A gamut of emotions coursed through her; fear, excitement, arousal, curiosity, and…her arms trembled…more fear. A bark of nervous laughter pressed through her lips. Angel had assured her repeatedly that nothing bad would happen to her, and that Thomas could be trusted with her safety.

She’d learned that he held a considerable position in the community and commanded a generous amount of respect from the members of the club. Those assurances had been enough for her to get this far, but as she searched the numbers on every mailbox, she considered giving up and returning home.

No one would think less of her if she wasn’t the right type for Thomas’s unorthodox demands. Who could blame her for wanting to get to know a man before letting him dominate her? Yeah, too late for that Gabby. Whether you like it or not, he’s been dominating you since you first heard his voice. Gabby sighed.

She spied the number three hundred and ten on a black mailbox encased in brick and quickly turned to the right into the drive. A wrought iron gate stood open as if awaiting her arrival. She slowly drove beyond it and up the winding drive. The house loomed in front of her, large and old. If this was indeed Thomas’s house, he had very expensive taste. She’d guess the stately brick home was built in the late 1800s and had been restored sometime in the last decade.

The few gaslights that were lit out front did little other than cast shadows across the footpath that led to the front door. Compared to her modest uptown townhouse she was way out of her league. She parked her car close to the walkway and strained to see through the inky darkness. No other cars were in sight. She shook her head and banned the negativity from her mind. Just because she didn’t see any other vehicles didn’t mean they weren’t there. These houses typically had hidden garages around back.

Gabby took a deep breath and rested her forehead on the steering wheel for a minute, releasing the air one short puff at a time. If she didn’t calm down, she’d be shaking like a leaf by the time she got inside.

Get a grip, Gabby. You decided you’re going to do this so buck up already.

She stepped from the car and carefully balanced herself, wondering once again why she’d worn ridiculously high-heeled shoes. Because they’re pretty, that’s why. She walked to the front door and automatically reached for the doorbell. Lucky for her, she caught herself in mid-air seconds before she pressed it. He’d said to enter the residence unannounced and proceed instead of waiting for an invitation to come in. She struggled with her social conditioning as she complied with his directions. Nerves jumped in her belly at the thought of walking into the wrong house and finding herself in more trouble than she could handle.

She opened it noiselessly and peeked through a crack in the door, afraid someone would catch her. Just inside she spied a long narrow foyer leading to what she presumed would be the living area. Gabby crept through the door and quietly closed it behind her. She tiptoed toward the back of the house, trying not to click her heels on the hardwood floor.

The room opened up into an inviting space filled with comfortable furniture and a large screen television as the focal point. Where she’d expected expensive antique furniture, she found a comfortable space that looked lived in, especially the large overstuffed couch that dominated the center of the room.

Gabby glanced at her watch and realized she had about thirty seconds to get in place, or she’d be late. She hustled over to the coffee table, set her purse and keys down and stepped to the end of the couch as instructed. Her body curved around the large rolled end as she wiggled into place—head down, ass up. Nervous didn’t begin to describe how she felt. She took a deep breath and lifted her skirt on the exhale.
