Happy Sunday!
Here is a tidbit of Tegan and Kyra's first kiss from Passions Flight. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it.
 Leaning in he followed the path of his thumb brushing his mouth lightly over hers, oh so gently. He felt her shudder in response; her eyes going heavy lidded as he traced his tongue against the seam of her lips, urging her to open for him. And God's she did, sending heat exploding through his chest to light a path down his torso to  pool in his throbbing groin. He needed more, so much more and deepened the kiss, darting inside the warmth of her sweet mouth, his tongue stroked, coaxed and demanded. She  met him with a hunger matching his own, it shook him, heated his blood even further, lust spiraled higher through his already aching cock. He angled his head taking the kiss deeper, needing more of her

Pick Me Up Monday

Happy Monday!
 There's something about a man in a kilt that just...


I took a few hours off from writing on Saturday to play with my friends at the Las Vegas Renaissance Fair. As part of a reenactment guild we were close to the main stage. I love Celtic Rock and when you pair a bagpipe with the Irish drum called a bodhrán well I get happy feet! It doesn't hurt when the musician are hunks with nice...kilts.

In other news I am hours away from finished Passions Flight (Whoot!!!) This has been a difficult book to write for me, don't know why but I think it has to do with one very sexy, very contrary were-panther who goes by the name of Tegan. 

After I send this off to my publisher, Evernight Publishing it's back to work finishing up two of my novella's in the Knight's of Excalibur series. Yay! After this I may have a little breather, a day or so then it's back to work finishing up The Summoning, and beginning the third installment in the Dark Breed series.

Know its back to work, no rest for the wicked or the weary as they say. Have a fantastic week everyone and see you next Monday!  

Pick Me Up Monday..And the Winners are

 Happy Monday! This just about explains my week. Lol! With so many things going on it's a wonder I can remember my name these days. So here is the weekly scoop from yours truly. I had two contests running this week. The first was a live chat at Coffee Time and Romance with fellow Evernight Authors Avery Flynn, Avril Ashton and C.R. Moss. What a lively bunch of ladies. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of their company. We held a Web Hunt, giving five questions that could only be answered through our websites. And I am pleased to announce Charity was the winner answering all of my questions correctly. She won a PDF of Dark Passion Rising.The second giveaway was Evernight's Birthday Bash, which ran September 25-October 2nd. This blog hop was a spectacular success. On my part I was offering separate prizes, choosing the winner via their comments. I had so many wonderful replies it was tougher than I anticipated. Finally, after much deliberation I picked my winner. Congratulations to Ju who won a $25.00 Amazon Gift Card, and PDF's of 'Twas a Dark and Delicious Christmas and Dark Passion Rising.
As for this week? well it's just as busy as the last. Tonight October 3rd  I will be chatting it up with Evernight Authors   Seleste DeLaney, Emma Shortt and Kelly Yeakle today at http://nightowlreviews.com/nor/Pages/Chat.aspx It starts at 5pm pacific time, 8 EST. Stop by and chat us up. We will be talking about our upcoming releases and everything else under the sun.
My second book in the Dark Breed series goes to submission this week and I'm very excited about it. This has taken a bit longer to write than the first book and is much longer. Once this is to Evernight I can finish up the second novella of the Knights of Excalibur series due this month to Extasy. I have other projects in process and once I have news on these I will let you know.
Now it's back to work,
Have a fantastic week!

Happy Sunday! It's time for another six from Passions Flight book 2 in the Dark Breed Series
Tegan starts on the wrong foot with Kyra. Nothing new for the touchy were-panther.
     "And I know how to handle myself so don't worry your pretty little head about it."     He watched those gorgeous eyes narrow with irritation at him. "My pretty little head? You just didn't say that to me did you? Of course you didn't. Because if you did that would mean I was dealing with a real imbecile.

See you later for another six!

Pick Me Up Monday

Happy Monday! I loved this tat and he's not bad on the eyes either. It's hard to believe the start of fall is only a few days away. The year is going way too fast for my liking, soon we will be in the holiday season. As I mentioned last week I took a small camping vacation with my hubby. It was wonderful to stop for a moment and just enjoy nature and my hubby's company. I now it was needed by how rested and centered I feel and I'm back to work with new energy.
On the writing front I'm wrapping up Passions Flight, which turned out to be much longer than expected. This installment has a few more twists and turns in it than the first and you get a glimpse of Atlantean culture and politics, which should be quite interesting. I will keep you posted with more information and if you're curious I do have snippets for you to check out every Sunday with Six Sentence Sundays.
I am also busy with the second novella of the Knights of Excalibur and should be to my editor in October. I have spoken on and off about one novel I've been working on for three years. The Summoning is a full length novel and will be submitted to a new publisher who has requested it by the spring of next year. And yes, if they take this book it will be available in paperback and ebook formats and like the other two it is a series so I'll keep you up to date on this as I have more information.
Now for contest information. I have a winner from my Long and Short Review giveaway. I'm happy to announce that Jean P has won a $20.00 Amazon Gift Card and a copy of Dark Passion Rising. Congratulations Jean and happy reading.I have an ongoing web hunt and contest with Night Owl Reviews for more information on how to enter and win lots of prizes go to http://www.nightowlromance.com/nor/Pages/FullMoonDetails.aspx

Come on by and say hi, win prizes and chat.

Time for another six from Passions Fl...

     Time for another six from Passions Flight. While Tegan is busy finding the wayward Archaeologist, Marcus is in a quandary. With no leadership to bring the Dark Breeds together how can they live a peaceful existence with humanity?


       Marcus frowned, concern for Tambra darkening his eyes, "Temple Fox has been too quiet since the uprisingI don't trust it or him."      "ScrewTemple we'll deal with him when the time comes. As for the other the lack of new leadership,  I know just the person who could bring them alltogether."     "Who doyou know that's so capable?" He smiled softly taking a moment to relish thesoftness of her palm on his skin before taking her hand in his and threading hisfingers through hers.     She gavehim a sexy grin showing a flash fangs. "You of course."
See you for another six next week.

Monday Pick Me Up

                  Happy Monday Friends. This tasty man is sure to perk up anyone's week. I'm sure you agree.

     I'm posting this in advance since I am out communing with nature. After the Erotic Authors Conference hubby and I packed our camping gear and went to enjoy a place I spent my summers at. Happy childhood memories I have been wanting to share with him for many years. In a small town called Kernville is a beautiful campground called James Camp where you can set up a tent right by the river. I caught my first fish there and look forward to catching a few trout for our dinner. I also am bringing my netbook so I can get in a few hours of uninterrupted writing in.

Speaking of which I am hoping to have all edits done for Passions Flight done and submitted by the end of this month. Then it's on to Zeke's story. In addition I will have the second novella in the Knight's of Excalibur to my editor in early October and working on the third one to this series as well.

That's all for now, I will tell you all about my time at the convention next Monday and please come by on Sunday for another six of Tegans book Passions Flight.

Until next week, have a fantastic one.
