Six Sentence Sunday

I have another sneak peek for you, lovely readers from my upcoming historical erotic romance Wanted, coming soon from Amira Press. We get Colin and Mara's first meeting this week. But first, the blurb!

The Civil War is over and Mara Aubrey has returned her beloved plantation in Virginia to find that everything has changed. One change Mara finds she doesn't mind at all is the addition of their new field hand Colin Beaudine, a sexy cowboy whose blue eyes hold the promise of pleasures Mara can't imagine. Mara Aubrey is used to bending men to her will. Colin is used to women who revel in submitting to him. Has he finally met his match in the spoiled plantation owner's daughter, or is Mara brave enough to learn everything Colin wants to teach her?



Mara whirled around with a shocked cry and felt a jolt of electricity when she realized she was now face to face with him. 
He towered over her at well above six feet and Mara found herself short of breath while she took in the utter male beauty of him. His dark hair came just below his neck with a soft wave and had a lush fullness that made Mara's fingers twitch with the urge to slide into it. His blue eyes held hers, making her pulse race through her blood that seemed to grow thicker in her veins. Curved, slightly full lips were framed by a stubbled jaw and cheeks. Mara unconsciously licked her lips, wondering what it would feel like to kiss that mouth.

"We have to get ready or we'll be late," she giggled as he gathered her close.
He nuzzled her neck and she arched back, feeling her resistance failing. She sighed into his mouth and gripped his shoulders, reveling in the taught broad muscle.
He moved his hands to her thighs and she whimpered at the heat of his palms, stroking her smooth skin. With a groan of need, he picked her up off her feet and brought her straight into contact with the thick column of his erection.
"This won't take long, baby. Promise." He caught her mouth again and backed them up against the stove pulling her tighter against his cock before spinning her around and setting her on the counter.
She was wet, and aching, unable to resist as the man she loved beyond bearing pulled his cock free and pushed her panties aside, sliding home deep inside of her with a moan that she echoed.
They were late.

Six Sentence Sunday

Thanks so much to all my lovely readers who keep coming back each Sunday to check out my snippets. I'll be sharing snippets now from my upcoming historical erotic romance Wanted, coming soon from Amira Press. First, the blurb!

Now for this week's six, why don't we begin at the beginning:

The second Mara laid eyes on him, something dark and hungry stirred deep in her soul. She wanted him.

She watched him silently as he led one of the horses through the stone arch toward the stables. He moved with smooth purpose, long legs clad in brown trousers. She gave a little start when he turned suddenly, having surely sensed her eyes on him. He was too far away to tell, but Mara could swear the corner of his mouth turned up and he touched his beige cowboy hat briefly before turning away.

Pinterest-How Can It Help Authors?

"A giant time-suck." Sure. Pinterest can be that. But so can facebook. So can Twitter. Then again, both those tools can be invaluable to writers if you know how to use them and Pinterest is no different.

With all social networks, it's the 'social' that most writers seem to have trouble grasping. It's not 'buy my book, buy my book' all day long. It's be interesting. Be funny. And pics of hot guys certainly help too! Interact with your fellow writers, because guess what, THEIR readers just may become YOUR readers too if they like how you interact with their favorite author. They just may head on over to check out your profile page or author page and see what you're all about.

Pinterest is no different really. Yes there are more pictures of hot guys. There are more pictures of everything really because that's what pinterest is. A huge place to post and save pics of everything you're little heart desires!

So how is this of any use to writers? Well, there's the obvious, you can create a board for your book covers. Good start. But that's not all by any stretch of the imagination! You can set up boards for each of your books, sharing pics of characters, settings, foods, clothes all either used in your books or as inspiration for your scenes and characters. Along with the things you have up that are just things you love as a person, not just an author. A really delicious pic of a cake can draw in a pinterest user to you. They see what else you have to offer and oh lookie, they discover you're an author. A potential reader right there.

Keep your content fresh to keep visitors coming back. I find this is actually easier with pinterest than any other social network because the whole site is chock full of images. Repinning things is great, but venture out a bit from people you follow to the category and everything tabs on pinterest so authors aren't just pinning the same things from each other. Venture even further than that for yummy, sexy, interesting pics. Google Images, different websites. Variety is key in keeping your content fresh.

And how great are those sensual, romantic pics to get the creative juices flowing? Writer's block? Just spend some time looking through gorgeous, sexy images of couples in various states of sensuality! It was while on pinterest that I got the idea to write little flash fics based around those images here on my blog, giving my blog followers here a little taste of my writing (see previous post Food For The Muse).

And as always, interaction is key here on Pinterest too! Comment on pics you like! Interact with your favorite pinners. Follow writers and non writers.

Pinterest is still a new medium we're all enjoying and still getting used to. I'm sure we haven't even begun to see how this new social network can help us as writers but those are just a few ways in which I've found they've been useful for me! Hope you join up if you haven't yet!

Food For The Muse

I got an idea while indulging in my addiction to Pintrest (LOVE that place!) to post little snippets around steamy and romantic pics I find. Like a little flash fiction type of thing. I'll try for weekly snippets and maybe these will inspire my fellow writers as well as giving my readers something yummy to enjoy! Comment love as always is much appreciated!


She whimpered into his mouth. He tasted of peppermint, faintly of wine and the sweetness of the chocolate covered butterscotch. The chocolate was the only real indulgence he allowed to potentially mar the hard body he worked to maintain. She rubbed herself against the hair roughened warm wall of his chest.

"I missed you so much," she exhaled. Three days. Three long lonely nights away on business. 

He nudged upward with his hips, prodding against her thigh with his erection. He stroked her hip with his free hand, the other anchoring her to him. "Show me." 

Six Sentence Sunday

On the run from a murderous uncle, Katie Beaumont married outlaw Ben Cready the day before he was supposed to hang. They shared one night of explosive passion and for six months, she'd believed herself a widow. Now Ben is back to claim what's his, and that includes the sweet bride he'd never been able to forget.

Then, she thought of Ben. She couldn’t live without him. To let her uncle take her away with him would be a worse kind of death than trying to escape and getting shot for the attempt. She had to try. Getting back to Ben was worth anything, even her very life. 
She reached into the wagon, grabbed the tin box, and swung it with all her might.

But Mrs. Mallory turned and walked in step with them toward the small, white-board chapel. “I didn’t think a man of your reputation would be interested in hearing the word of the Lord.”
“Oh, sure am. Why, just last night the missus here had me praising our good Lord, loud as can be,” Ben replied, and Katie tripped in her horror. Ben’s arm tightened around her securely.
Beth’s face went stark white, and her mouth opened and closed as she was at an obvious loss for words.
