Introducing E. J. Babock

Hi, I am E. J Babcock I am unpublished writer (for now). I also do a blog. that has cooking ( well if don’t blow up kitchen) it has writers and artist on it as well. I have five kids, a hubby and three dogs. So now you see why I am unpublished, I have to have time to write to be published. I a trying tough and I would like to share with you my blog and a few teasers from some of the book I am working on.

So let’s start with the one I am almost done writing.

It’s got a working Title of Run but I mighth change it.

A ballerina and a football player are an unlikley match to start with, but then again these two aren’t your normal couple.

So let’s just say they didn’t have the best of frist start’s

Ignore, ignore, IGNORE, SHE HAD TO GO AWAY! What was this chick’s deal?

He started punching in his access code for the elevator in HARD so he could get to his floor. He paced while he was waiting for the elevator to come down. He thought this building was much better than the run down home he had originally grew up in.

“HEY!”

Cassius looked in her direction, He was going to chance one more look into her eyes. Cassius gave her his death glare the one that made anyone on the opposite side of the field squirm.

“Look I have no idea what your deal is, but you do realize they will raise our fees now because someone broke two treadmills, I also know this isn’t the first time. There are other things you could use you know. You should try not to killing treadmills!” she was well spoken and her tone was sweet with a hint of anger. She hadn’t backed down to his death glare.

Cassius had no clue why she had followed him, she didn’t seem to know who he was. He liked the fact she might like him for him and not the football star. If only …

“I mean how you can be so fast and so…..”

She didn’t have to finish what she was going to say, Cassius had been asked that question his whole life. Being 5’5 and 180 pounds of pure muscle put him always at a height disadvantage. Playing wide receiver on an NFL team had always seemed like a pipe dream. Somehow against all the odds he had made it happen. Cassius had made sure any team who took him knew he was a package deal though. Cassius adopted brother was also a wide receiver he was 6’5 and 260 pounds of raw muscle. Dev was one of a few people he could trust that would back him up and tackle the other opposing team player’s.

And later that day

“The fact you have a bruise on your face isn’t FINE!” Cassius let out a frustrated sigh. He had said that louder than he wanted too, Rose had winced when he raised his voice. That was the last thing he wanted, was for her to be scared of him. His temper was on a thin edge, he wanted to get whoever did that to her on the football field, he wanted to tackle the guy. He also wanted her to talk to him.“Let’s try something ok? I am going to tell you something about me that only a few people know about. Then you are going to tell me what happened to you tonight.” Cassius didn’t wait for a reply “I was born to an alcoholic mother who rarely feed me and my younger brother. That’s why I am so small now. She beat us whenever she felt like it. It was a living nightmare that still haunts me today. The day I escaped her furry was worst, she was so full of rage and hate. She was high and drunk, her fist felt like lead when they pounded into me. I don’t like running on pavement because the day I escaped I ran on hot pavement in bare feet to get to a cop car a few streets away. I had never been outside of the house until that day. I had never even felt the sun on my face before that day…” Rose’s blue eyes had found his face at some point while he was talking.“ Now Rose it’s your turn, please tell me what happened to you and who did it?”

But later on:

“You look gorgeous have I told you that yet?” he kept his hands on her all night.

Rose blushed “I think so. The look in your eyes looks like you might eat me.”

“I just might.” He wiggled his eye brows and they both started to laugh. Rose leaned in gave him a soft kiss. He leaned in more turning her soft kiss into something more, he ran his tongue over her lips and she opened up her mouth. He cupped the back of her head pulling her in closer devouring her mouth hoping to erase all past men from her mind. Making the statement with his mouth he wanted more than a kiss from her.

You also have Cassius brother who plays on the same team as he does. I like his spunk I hope you do too.

“Ohhh they do, they just don’t know it yet. They all want a piece of Dev the Devine.” The girls giggled Cassius groaned into hands.

Have to love a guy who knows he is sexy.

So now my blog. I share my blog with my dog Gizmo or one of the others in it.

Spotlight on La Quette’s Heart of the Matter

A native of Brooklyn, New York, LaQuette spends her time catering to her three distinct personalities: Wife, Mother, and Educator. Writing: her escape from the everyday, has always been a friend and comforter. She loves writing and devouring romance novels. Although she possesses a graduate degree in English Lit, she’d forego Shakespeare any day to read something hot, lusty, and romantic.

She loves hearing from readers and discussing the crazy characters that are running around in her head causing so much trouble. Contact her on Facebook, Twitter, her website, Amazon, and her Facebook group, LaQuette’s Lounge.

Blurb:

Heart “Mac” MacKenzie is a tough police lieutenant in the NYPD servicing the rough streets of Brooklyn, New York. She’s a strong leader who doesn’t mind getting in the trenches with the men and women she leads at the seventy-four precinct. Her house, her people, and her family—both blue and blood—are the only things that matter. She would live and die for the blue wall that shields her from a traumatic past.

When her captain assigns her a high-profile kidnapping case that she doesn’t want, and insists she allows the missing girl’s irritatingly sexy uncle to tag along during the investigation, her blood boils. Mac has no choice but to do what she always does when things get out of control, lay down the law—her law.

Kenneth Searlington is a rich playboy from the Upper East Side of Manhattan. With stunning looks and an unlimited source of wealth, he’s used to being the center of everyone’s attention, especially the women that he comes in contact with in high society. His life is fun and carefree until his niece, Merridith is kidnapped, and he’s forced to seek out the help of his godfather an NYPD police captain, David Porter.

Afraid and frustrated, Kenneth defers to his uncle’s expertise and his promise that he’s putting his best cop on the case, Lieutenant MacKenzie. When Kenneth discovers “Mac” is actually a sexy as sin lady cop with a fiery temper to match, he decides mixing a little business with pleasure might be just the thing he needs to distract him from long-standing family issues that are trying to crawl their way back into the forefront of his life.

Each used to having their own way, can these two work together long enough to bring an innocent child home? Or will they settle their differences and unyielding attraction in a more carnal way and get right down to the heart of the matter?

Excerpt:

Kenneth watched Heart climb the stairs two at a time. She went into what had now become their bedroom and headed straight for the walk-in closet. He heard the keypad beeps from the gun safe as she dialed in the combination code.

He felt a slight sense of relief. Heart was silent-angry. That was never a good thing. At least if she was this mad and her weapons were locked away, he stood a chance of surviving to see the next day.

She re-entered the bedroom and walked directly past him. He heard her quick footsteps run down the stairs. He followed, saw her head for the basement door, and disappear into the lower level of the house.

He walked downstairs to find her standing in the middle of the gym with her arms crossed against the expanse of her heaving chest.

“Baby, I…” She put up her hand and stopped his words. She turned toward the stereo, turned it on, and fiddled with the dials until he heard Maxwell’s “Bad Habit” pouring from the speakers.

It was late and she had the sound turned up on damn. Fortunately for their neighbors, the basement was soundproofed. When the house was built, the original owner had wanted a place in the house where he could make as much noise as he wanted without disturbing the neighbors. By the looks of it, Heart planned to benefit from that fact. He wasn’t quite sure if he was going to benefit from it or not yet.

“What’s with the music being so loud?” He yelled over the driving base.

“I want to make sure that the neighbors don’t hear you scream,” she said, face straight, muscles tightening in her arms as she squeezed her hands into tight fists.”

“Shit,” was all he could say. He knew he was in trouble now.

She rushed him…that was the only way to explain how she was standing across from him one moment, and sitting on top of him the next. In a matter of seconds he was on the floor; face up, with her sitting on top of him.

“Heart, this is not funny. Get up so we can talk.”

She didn’t move, didn’t even make a sound. She just looked at him, through him with sharp brown eyes cutting into his soul. His hands had somehow ended up near his head when he fell. He went to pull them down and felt resistance. He tried to move them again and heard a metal clinking sound above his head. He moved his head around until he could see the shiny glint of handcuffs. She’d cuffed him to the weight machine they’d landed in front of when she’d taken him to the floor. This was the very same weight machine that was bolted to the floor and immovable.

“Heart, this isn’t funny. What are you doing? Why did you cuff me?”

Her face was still tight with anger, her body stiff and poised for attack.

“Kenneth, do you know that I hate watching you get dressed. I hate it because I hate that anything else in this world gets to touch your beautiful alabaster skin as closely as I do. I want to be the only thing draped over you so intimately. Not the fine garments you wear, and certainly not that bitch, Faith.”

He watched her pull something from her back pocket. At first it looked like a heavy handle, but with a flick of her wrist, it became a knife.

“Heart?”

She ran the dull side of the knife across his lips and said, “Ssssh.”

He swallowed carefully as he watched her remove the knife from his lips and slice the sharp side down the length of his shirt, causing the two sides to peel away from his body like water.

She continued the slide of the blade through his pants until he was lying beneath her naked and at her mercy.

“I’m an only child, Kenneth. I never really learned how to share. I’ll be damned if I’m going to share you. So hear me now. If you want that bitch, be with that bitch, and leave me the fuck alone. But if here is where you want to be, keep that bitch, and any other out of your face. I. Don’t. Play. That. Shit.”

He nodded his head quickly. He knew he hadn’t perpetrated that kiss with Faith, but him lying naked beneath her while she had a sharp blade dancing between her fingers didn’t seem the most appropriate time to point out whose fault this entire fallout was.

She brought down the hand holding the knife with a hard and fast stabbing motion. He flinched, anticipating pain, but realized soon that there was no pain. She hadn’t stabbed him. He turned his head slightly to the side and saw the shiny blade next to him, sticking out of the floor.

Heart grabbed him by his chin and allowed one word to slip through her tightly ground jaw, “Mine!”

She slammed her mouth down on his and kissed him hard, sharp teeth biting into his flesh. His skin rent and he tasted the bitter metallic tang of blood. He should have been pissed, he really should have felt afraid, after all, this woman had rendered him helpless and brandished a weapon in front of him. He was shaking, his heart was pounding, and his breath was coming out in rapid tufts of air from his heaving chest. But surprisingly, there was no fear only…interest.

His dick jumped beneath her. He was handcuffed with a knife sticking out of the floor next to his head and he was so turned on his dick could cut granite.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

My Beginning

by

LaQuette

Genesis Lawrence left her home and family in Brooklyn, New York ten years ago and never looked back. When you’ve spent your entire life protecting yourself from the ones that are supposed to love you, running to the other side of the country seems like the best idea ever. Emotionally bankrupt, she begins rebuilding her life after failed familial connections and a broken marriage leave her too raw to ever believe happiness exists for her. Work as a Physical Therapist in her rehab clinic is all she knows and all she wants.

Drew Marrack has spent the last year of his life trying to end the soul-searing pain of losing his mother by any means necessary, even if that means ending him—literally. After a tragic accident and a resulting disability that devastates the tattered remnants of his world, only one name can give him a brand-new start: Genesis.

Pain, heartache, secrets, and tragedy from the past bring them together, and then fight to tear them apart. Is new love strong enough to give them the fresh beginning they both need, or is this simply the beginning of their end?

The One Inside the Looking Glass by Brieanna Robertson

The One Inside the Looking Glass

Alyssa has the opportunity of a lifetime staring her in the face–the chance to become Senior Creative Director at the magazine she works for. It’s her dream job, everything she’s ever wanted… Right?

With her eccentric husband telling her she’s become superficial, the strange scavenger hunt/riddle-infused wild goose chase of a job interview she is on, and the sudden appearance of a bizarre man who thinks he’s the Mad Hatter and who is acting like her conscience, she is no longer sure.

Only one thing is certain. Alyssa feels like she has gone straight down the rabbit hole, and nothing is what she had imagined it to be. The questions are, when she is forced to look at herself in the looking glass, will she like what she sees?

And who will she imagine being by her side, if anyone?

Cover Reveal for Striving for Perfection by BL Mooney.

 

Title: Striving for Perfection

Series: Striving #2

Author: BL Mooney

Cover Design: Kari Ayasha at Cover to Cover Designs

 Release Date: September 18, 2014

 

Excerpt

 

 

I couldn’t believe it. He was still hiding me as

some mistress. I’m no one’s whore. I didn’t say a word. I just walked out.

Jimmy was calling after me, but I ignored him and kept walking. I wasn’t going

to stick around where I wasn’t wanted. Problem was I didn’t know where I was

wanted.

 

 

 

  



 

 

 

Author Bio

B.L. Mooney started writing when the voices and storylines in her head ran out of room. They were getting too cramped and neither B.L. nor the characters could take it anymore, so she did the only thing she could do—she made room. She always knew she wanted to write, but vowed to make time for it later. Now that she’s made time for writing, most everything else falls to the wayside. That seems to suit the characters that keep popping up in her head just fine.

B.L. lives in the Midwest, and her other talents include in-demand cookies, a very dry sense of humor, and stealth eavesdropping. Some mannerisms, attitudes, or twists come from random sentences picked up while passing by strangers. So speak up the next time you have something to gossip about. You never know, it may just end up on the pages of the next book you read.

She loves to hear from her readers and you can contact her via email at AuthorBLMooney@gmail.com

When the plastic snaps wide open, Jules finds herself in a vulnerable and awkward situation with Brennan and her band.
