New Release: Emergence
Life as Jaime Dalton knows it is almost over. Come morning, she—the forbidden offspring of a human and a gryphon—will be owned body and soul by the First Dragon, ruler of the mythoi. He will control everything. What she wears, what she eats, when she sleeps. And with whom.
Determined to have a final fling, she seeks out the comfort of a stranger's arms. Except he turns out to be "stranger" than he first appears.
Kaden Rhodes knows what it's like to be owned. Before he follows his orders to...

Excerpt: Emergence
An excerpt from Emergence, a Red Hot SF-futuristic from Samhain Publishing
Someone was staring at me. I could feel it as a warm, easy slide over my skin, and it forced me to suck in a quick breath. I straightened, pushing my shoulders back, and my nipples peaked. It was an unexpected reaction. My gryphon-half barely reacted to sexual stimuli; power in all its forms was what got her hot. I glanced to my left and found the heated, amber gaze of a man at the end of the long bar.
A ghost of a ...

Great first review for Shapes in the Blood!
Dee Dailey at The Romance Studio gave Shapes in the Blood, my paranormal futuristic fantasy from Loose Id, 5 Hearts!
Aila Parry feels like she should have known Nathan Ahern was too good to be true. Four hours late, he shows up for their date and manages to convince her to go out with him. Things get out of hand when he literally begins to change before her eyes and she has to run for her life. Is Matt Kinnon her rescuer or just another version of Nathan?
Kim Knox keeps us guessing in this...

Monday Blast: Her Dark Soul
I thought I'd dig out an excerpt from an old book…so here's a short excerpt from Her Dark Soul, my EC menage.
Excerpt
(c)2010 Kim Knox
They'd sold her.
When the sun broke the horizon, a stranger—a custodian—would come and take her from the temple. Ash stared at the quiet colonnades surrounding the small courtyard. The central fountain splashed water into the pre-dawn darkness and the light breeze swept cool air across the marble floor, bringing with it the familiar scents of chamomile and wild...

Six Sentence Sunday: Captain's Privilege
This is a snippet from my latest wip, Captain's Privilege:
"And even then." His finger stroked over her jaw, his touch slow, but it seemed to draw something from her and her body ached. "That's not pain, is it?" His hand cupped her neck and the heavy pull of whatever it was inside of him, the bio-enhancements, his strength, tightened the flesh between her thighs. His slow grin only deepened the traitorous throb to her flesh. "That's lust."

Sale! Gambit to Carina Press
Sometimes sitting and watching films can twist your thoughts. Especially when you've seen it so many times you can almost quote the dialogue.
I was sitting watching Return of the Jedi for the 9 millionth time at the request of my two boys. They of course lasted about three seconds past the opening credits before they ran off to do something else. I carried on watching, waiting for Han Solo… *cough*
I was half paying attention when Leia turned up in her spangly gold bikini…and my mind did a t...

Cover Love: Painted Promise
My email has been evil this past week and so I didn't get this in my inbox until EC's art dept sent it again asking if I'd seen it…but I have it now *grin*
Painted Promise is a part of the Alluring Arts theme. Here's the unofficial blurb:
Thirza Girard is a clone. Her mirror image founded a thousand year dynasty that spans the quadrant. The Girard family power is no accident. The original Thirza did a deal with an alien, a Tashen-Dar, who could manipulate probability. He changed reality...
