Blissfully in Love, the Sequel

When I wrote Blissfully Snowbound, I really saw it as a single novelette. I was lucky to have fans who encouraged me to write a sequel. After pondering it for several weeks, the story took shape and Blissfully in Love came to be.

Have you ever loved someone so much that you would do anything?

Jenny is unsure how Ryan will react when she breaks the news that she is in love with Dan. The pivotal moment defines the depth of Ryan's love. In an act of ultimate devotion and passion, he gives Jenny her unspoken desire and shows her what it means to be blissfully in love as they move from being a couple to a menage a trois.

This steamy novelette, sequel to Blissfully Snowbound, explores how a couple moves from two lovers to three.

Jenny didn't want to fall in love with Dan during the blizzard, but their love is intense and undeniable... Now it is time to tell their respective partners the bad news. Jenny expects a terrible scene and her best friend Kelly does not fail to deliver. However, her longtime boyfriend surprises her by reacting far differently. Ryan loves Jenny too much to give her up, but also recognizes the passion that she and Dan share. In an act of deep love for her, Ryan brings Dan into their bed and into their lives.

A ménage a trois of one woman loving two men is born...

Reviews of a New Author: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

As a new author of ebooks, I am coming to appreciate the complexity of reviews.Naturally, everyone hopes that people will love their work and shout it to theworld, but the planet consists of many different people who have various likesand dislikes. That old adage, "You can't please all the people all of thetime" certainly applies to creative art.

Some people will read your work and be on the same page as you. They get theworld you are trying to create and love it. Other people read it and think youtotally missed the boat and have no business writing.

My personality is one that is pleased and embarrassed by positive praise,but holds onto negative comments as if they hold more importance. Putting mywriting out there has definitely been an experience. I am grateful there hasbeen a balance of opinion. For all those who hate my writing, I have others wholove it more than it deserves. Yin/Yang. Balance is good. :)

Currently:

On B&N more than 60 ratings and reviews. Twenty-one gave the series 5 or 4 starsand fourteen gave it 2 or 1 star, but six who hated it left comments and only one wholiked it left a review.

On Apple (where they can only rate without comments) the series has a 3.5rating.

On Amazon only a five comments on the first story, but 4/5 are good.

On Smashwords all reviews have been positive (it seems to be an author friendly site)

On Goodreads reviews have been positive (although only three people have rated them)

Overall, the reviews are positive. I am humbled that many readersenjoy my stories in spite of my newbie talent.

* Thank you to all who have rated or reviewed my work. For those who like it,deepest gratitude for the support and encouragement. For those who dislike my writing, your comments are beneficial as well. I am always seeking to improve my craft and your reviews help me to do that. Thank you! :)

Blissfully Snowbound is a Sexy Little Story

Oh, to be Blissfully Snowbound...

We had a huge snowstorm recently. I looked outside one morning and was reminded of an old fantasy of mine - being stuck in a cabin with a guy and no way out. What would two people who were attracted to each other do, especially when the power goes out and they have to cuddle?

Blissfully Snowbound explores what happens when friends who aren't looking to hook up encounter an opportunity to enjoy a little sexy fun. Snow play takes on a whole new meaning!

If making love the traditional way was taken off the table, what would you do to please each other? Dan and Jenny explore the many possibilities in this steamy novelette.

As with all my erotica, love is at the core of the encounter. Someone has hidden their love for quite some time,  but the question is - can that love prevail before the world comes rushing back in?

The End to the Other Story

I just finished another novelette titled In 9 Days. I knew generally what the ending would be, but wasn't sure about the final words. I was typing along and then I read over my last sentence and I just knew it was the end. It was kind of beautiful actually. I was like, "Wow, that it. That's the end of the story." It is a happy/sad kind of feeling. Happy because the story has told itself out, but sad because I will miss the characters.

Here is the blurb for the novelette:


Her friends call him The Freak, but Tessa has an instantcrush on the new boy in school. While others turn away in disgust, she isirresistibly drawn to Kevin Reese. The boy's face is covered in burn scars andhis right hand is missing two fingers. She knows Kevin has a tragic storybehind those injuries and she is desperate to find out his past. However, it ishis kisses she longs for most.
This enchanting novelette is a coming of age story thatcenters on loving acceptance.
Tessa is instantly attracted to the new boy in school. She daydreams of becoming a couple, even thoughher friend Samantha and her mother are violently opposed. Tessa doesn't realize onthat first day the important role Kevin will play in her life or the fact sheonly has 9 days with him.

Being Taken "The Other Way"

Ever wondered if being taken "the other way" could be gentle andsweet? Well, it can...

I wrote about it in the story, Sensual Erotica: Her Gift. Two people making love in this unique way can be a tender and memorable exchange.

When I was young, it was all about doggie style - quick, raunchy, nasty sex.The kind you only do when you are drunk and the guy is really horny.

It doesn't have to be that way. Anal intercourse can actually be another wayfor lovers to communicate. A different way than normal, but still every bit asloving. Doggie style is a dominating position, but unnecessary. Themissionary position works well and can provide more intimacy between lovers.You can kiss, touch, and look into each other's eyes.

Naturally, both partners have to be willing and it is important to have lubricanton hand. Taking slow and gentle means it won't hurt, and the woman canconcentrate on the sensations all those extra nerve endings bring.

What Turns You On?

Menage a Trois FMMOf all the scenarios I have written, the one that is currently getting themost attention is Sensual Erotica: Boy Toys, the Menage a Trois with two guys andone girl. I wonder if it is most women's fantasy. It certainly is a good one!Being the center of attention of two men seeking only to please you. Oh yes,that's yum all the way…

But what about the master/slave fantasy? I certainly enjoy playing that oneout in my mind. Anyone else like to daydream about it or do you live it out inreal life?

What about sharing one guy between two girls? Nah, not for me. I want theman all to myself. (Selfish that way) But are there ladies who like havinganother woman in on the action? Would enjoy hearing from you!

Spanking is popular, but I hated getting spanked as akid. I've always wondered if a paddle would feel better. Any of you ladies havefun experiences with either one?

Double penetration…a naughty one to contemplate. I like to daydream aboutit, but am not interested in doing it in real life. I'm just not into discomfortwith sex. (Selfish that way)

Ooh, what about swapping partners? That is fun to fantasize about! My fearis if I were to do it in real life, I would get stuck with a loser while mypartner gets a sexy hot thing.  Actually, I don't think I could handle myhoney doing it with anyone else. (Selfish that way)

So what turns you on?
It's fun to share!

Bad Boys vs Nice Guys

Bad Boys and Nice GuysOkay, it would be nice to know once and for all which of the two would winfor most women- the Bad Boy and all the problems he brings or the Nice Guy whowon't let you down.

Bad Boys like to ask you to do things you wouldn't agree to on your own,which is part of their appeal. They can take you places you have never been,but they also are careless with your heart. What the body enjoys the soul maynot.

Nice Guys make you feel safe and cherished. They aren't adventurous, butthey also put you before their own needs. You won't be crushed, however itmight get boring.

A purely Nice Guy can be tiring – sorry but you guys need to branch out ofyour comfort zone and ask your lady to come along.

A purely Bad Boy is toxic to the soul – shape up and start treating yourladies with a little respect, dudes. It'll go a long way.

So what do you think?

Are you attracted to thoseBad Boys or do you prefer the Nice Guys and why?
Me? I like my Nice Guy with Bad Boy tendencies – A man who wants me to benaughty but who cares about my feelings. A total yum!

Are Werewolves and Vampires Sexy???

The Vampire, by Philip Burne-Jones, 1897For quite some time now both vampires and werewolves havebecome a sexual craze for women. I am not sure if it has to do with the wholeTwilight Series Phenomena, but ladies just love to read about paranormalmen.

I have fought off the whole craze because I am a person who doesn't like tofollow the crowd. I love the underdog! However, after writing a series about amodern couple I thought it might be fun to delve into the world of theparanormal. Since I LOVE wolves, I naturally gravitated towards werewolves andwrote a novelette (14,000 words) about them called, The Keeper of the WolfClan.

After writing it, I decided I could fall in love with a werewolf. Yep, thatwould be nice…all warm and fuzzy.

So now, I have my eyes on vampires and have a little story already brewingin my head. I have to admit that the idea of having my neck sucked passionatelydoes sound a little sexy although I do hate needles.

How about you? Do you enjoyfantasying about the paranormal? Is it erotic to you or does that all thatmake-believe stuff turn you OFF?
