Is it Monday alread?

Morning. Not a good one just yet. I need more coffee for that. I finally finished Wrapped Around Your Finger and I'm currently doing an edit. I'm hoping to have it submitted by the end of the week. Yes, that would be after I write the sucknopsis and query. I really, really, really dislike writing a synopsis. I need to get organized enough with my projects that I'm actually writing the syno before I start the actual book. I'll get there. I will.

As a matter of fact, a dear author friend of mine introduced me (sucked me in) to the wonderful OCD world of calendars. I started and before I knew it, I'd plotted my writing through October. I'm hoping that this will help me stay on track. I really need a taskmaster complete with flogger to keep me in line. Know where I can find one? grins Well, I guess some determination, a lot of coffee, and the calendar will have to do for now.

BDSM in Pop Culture

I'm always so fascinated to see BDSM references and examples in current media and pop culture. I'm sure being active in the lifestyle has made more aware of it than I would be otherwise. Every now and again I catch glimpses of things in the news, on television, movies or the music industry so I thought I'd start a Kink Watch here on my blog just for kicks.

In recent years it's been pretty prevalent even showing up on popular tv shows such as CSI (remember the fur pile and adult baby episodes? Not to mention Lady Heather), Supernatural, Desperate Housewives and Dollhouse (there are so many underlying fetish connotations to that little sci-fi show they sadly took off the air) that's just to mention a few...

Dream a Little Dream

When I'm writing a book, I reach a point in the process where it becomes a constant presence in my thoughts. In every spare moment, I'm running dialogue through my head, planning scenes, adding layers and so on. My husband calls it obsession, I call it being in the zone--tomato, tom-whatever, you get the point. Well after writing a pretty intense scene and hitting the sack, I had a dream about the little novella I'm working on. Now it's not like I woke up with new scenes in my head or a plot change or anything like that. What I did wake up with was a clear picture of the Dominant in my story. Mix an rerun of The Vampire Diaries with a hot D/s scene and you get the perfect Dom for my story...

Erotic Romance Contest

In honor of the February 9th release of my very first novella, This Side of Heaven, I've decided to celebrate by giving away some smut. What could be better than that right?

The contest will run from February 1-9th and ends at 10 pm EST.
