Blood Memories by KJ Dahlen

She lives with her husband Dave and dog Sammy. Her two children are grown and she has two grandchildren. She loves to watch people and that has helped her with her writing. She loves to create characters and put them in a troubling situation then sit back and let them do all the work. Her characters surprise e...

Here's a bit about Nancy:

Seduction of my Proper Wife excerpt

From my new ménage series, Victorian Ménage at the Parisian Exposition. While technically this could be called book 1, all 6 books are connected only through the Parisian Exposition of 1889 and as such can be read alone or as part of the series.

Friday Recipe: Sausage Bread

Yes, it's football season...but in another month it'll be hockey season and that's a reason to celebrate! This is a relatively fast and easy snack to make, though I have to warn you: May Be Addicting!

Now I'm sure you can use any healthy meat you want, but I prefer the old-fashioned way. And cheese. Because cheese (much like chocolate) make everything better!

The recipe from All Recipes didn't give prep times, but I'd say about 30 min, assuming the sausage isn't frozen (I speak from experience)...

New favorite TV show #coppertv

How do I love this show, let me count the ways:
[image error]
Tom Weston-Jones might not be the hottest guy on TV but he's rugged, scruffy, and oh so sexy when he's chasing down the bad guys.Can't name the supporting cast yet (except Dr. Freeman who is way more fleshed-out as a character than anyone else) but they're just as interesting.
The history of the era is excellent and wherever they're filming this, the sets are pretty awesome.Yes, when boiled down to its finest point, Copper is a police procedural....

Weekly Goals and stories that didn't work

Sometimes a story just doesn't work. I realized that with my contemporary D/s Improper Conduct. The plot outweighed the romance and sexual exploration and wasn't working for what I had in mind. I'll put it aside and look at it again in the future, see what I want to do with it, and leave it until then.

My new Victorian Ménage at the Parisian Exposition series had taken on a life of its own. The first, a m/f/f story Seduction of my Proper Wife totally possessed me and I wrote it in like 5 days....

Review: Star Crossed

Back in July, I hosted Kele here for a quick blurb and excerpt about her latest, Star Crossed. Then I thought, wow, this sounds like a great book and I must read! For those who missed July's post about Star Crossed.

Let me start off by saying I don't do UFC or MMA. Nope. But man, this story is HOT! And well written. And completely captured my attention. I hate to write a review with spoilers, I think it's unfair to the reader, so let me say a couple things I think will make you want to read th...
