Snippet Sunday bringing you a snippet from my upcoming Awaken The Elements (Dark Erotic Fantasy)

In a diminutive town in Chile, three fake doctors looked at each other as the crowded into a half empty medical storage closet.
“Do you have the time?” One asked the other.
Their eyes looked glazed over as if tweaking on some good drug. It could have been said that the look in their eyes was insanity, but only they knew the secret. The secret of a woman with floor length midnight black hair that veiled around her luminescent skin, and what she had done to them. What she had promised. A seductive dream they would kill for, exactly what they were doing.
The taller man looked at his watch, and saw it was two minutes until noon, Pacific Time. “We're on time,” he said in a dreamy voice. The promise of touching the woman again drifted through his mind. Although in hers, she knew she would never see any of the slaves she sent out. Her magic of corruption would soon spread like a wildfire.
One of the men opened a small box and took out a small liquid bottle. Each grabbed a syringe filling it with the liquid from the black bottle, and inserting the liquid into medicine and IV bags. They were to wait and witness if anything worked, and walked quickly out of the hospital. Only a nurse saw the woman’s slaves in Iraq, but she thought nothing of it.
Moorgun sat before her alter; a thin loose gown covered her. Her knees ached as she sat there watching the dark glass, waiting for the sight to start. Her old skin hang from her brittle bones, the years seemed to be catching up with her but she waited because soon He would be with her, and He would grant her eternal beauty. Again she would be able to see herself as she had been beautiful and young.
The dark glass smoked over and the visions started. She watched the sick man shake, the nurses ran over and doctors were called. After the shakes, his blood would slow down to a tinkle, and his organs would fail, but his brain would live. Every liquid in his body will carry the infection, and just a small bite to another human would cause the corruption to spread until it overran the world. And the search for her chosen would finally be at an end. She watched as the sick started to rise with a huger they had never felt before.
Animalistic. They only thought of flesh.
“Feed, my pets,” she snickered.

Book Review of Etiquette & Espionage

Loves that this is a prequel setting to the The Parasol Protectorate. I had some questions about certain people and now they are being brought to the light. Sophronia is now one of my newer favorite characters and I can't wait to see what she gets into at finishing school. I was surprised about her friends two we know too much about for those fans of the Parasol Protectorate. I cannot wait until November when the second book is released!
Taken from Goodreads-
It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to Finishing School.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper manners—and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish...everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage—in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.
Set in the same world as the Parasol Protectorate, this YA series debut is filled with all the saucy adventure and droll humor Gail Carriger's legions of fans have come to adore.

Bound By Seduction Tour!- Guest Blog by Kharisma Rhayne
[image error]
This is the first Anthology and I lovvvveee this series. It is hot and fun.
Blurb:
PART 1: JARED & BEKKA
Jared and Bekka, two people with a huge conflict. He's FBI, she's the prosecuting attorney. Him in his high class suits with attitude to match, her with an uptight personality and a virgin to boot. Watch the sparks fly from the office to the bedroom as these two go head to head and flesh to flesh.
PART 2: JARVICK & ARABELLE
Arabelle finds herself at the gym on a Friday night and ends up working on more than her cardio with oh so hot stranger, Jarvick when he guides her to his truck for some cuffed experimentation. Just how well will these two fit together?
PART 3 MYKAL & KRISTYNA
The third installment in the Bound by Seduction series finds that Mykal has admired Kristyna for quite some time. He knows there are dangers with bringing her into his world. After a time, he decides to try to become friends, leading them right into relationship territory and landing them right into his bed. But what price will she pay to be his forever?
PART 4: SHANE & KASEY
Shane has a special surprise for Kasey on their date. He's been out of town for a while and wants to show her how much he's missed her and push their boundaries.
Kasey is surprised when she opens her door and sees a dozen roses outside. She's even more surprised to see that they're bound together with rope. The note attached to it has her anticipation rising.
Will Shane's planned evening go off without a hitch? Or will the tables get turned?
PART 5: JACOB & ISA
Jacob liked Isa, maybe even loved her, but if she couldn’t accept everything, it was time for them to both move on. Would she accept what he was about to tell her?
Can you believe the tour’s almost over? Today I’m just going to share a random babbling post (I warned you these would happen).
Men and sex. Sex and men. The two are almost always connected. It’s been proven time and time again that men are almost always thinking about sex in some way. Most places agree (notice, not necessarily me) that men will do pretty much anything for sex and are very creative when it comes to sex.
Sex for men with one partner can easily even become boring. It always makes me wonder if, as humans, we’re all truly meant to be with one person. Can we all be 100% satisfied and completely happy that way?We can take steps to do our best to keep our partner in awe. Yes, you have to be willing to go that extra mile and perhaps do a few things that may not be on the top of your to do list. But imagine how happy it will make your partner. So, in no order, here are some of the top ranked things men want to do:
--Oral Sex: What man doesn’t like to have his cock sucked on? This is perhaps one of the easiest ways to keep your man happy. Don’t like to do it? Try some flavored lotions. They might get you past the initial thought of it. Even better, if you’re doing oral sex for him – you can ask for a returned favor.
--Sex with 2 women: I don’t think I’ve ever met a man who didn’t want two women at the same time. While this is likely not high on your to do list, it can be done in what I call a smaller dose. There’s no rule saying that you or your partner has to have sex or even undress with this added female. Maybe just a little of you and her rubbing against one another, an intimate kiss – nothing huge or binding. This will fill your man’s imagination for months.
--Sex with Mirrors: No, not using them in the act itself, but with the both of you in view of mirrors. Men, like a number of females, are visual creatures. They want to see anything and everything they can in relation to sex. Sometimes while you’re having sex, you don’t always get the best viewing pleasures; mirrors can help fix that.
--Dancer/Stripper: Why are these clubs so popular? Men love to see women naked. Period. It’s that simple. They love the teasing, they love seeing. Besides, having your man look at you the way he will be when you do this – priceless and such a turn on.
--Video: This is a double dose of fun for men. They are more turned on because they know that their sex with you is being recorded. On top of that, they get to get turned on again and again when they watch it.
--Twister: No, not actually playing twister (has nothing to do with it actually, just a term I use for it). Men love to be creative with sexual positions. It allows for different views and different feels, for both you and him. Sex will never be boring as long as you agree to switch it up.
--Location Sex: In with different positions are also different locations. Men love challenges and even the concept of potentially getting caught. Who says sex can only be in the bedroom? Try the bathroom, the shower, the kitchen, the couch, the garage, outside. Keeping him on his toes, will keep him very happy.
--Games: This can be the fun board games for adults where you roll several dice to see what you’ll do to your partner. This can also be strip poker where you strip yourself or where you strip each other. Finally, another aspect of game play that men seem to enjoy – role play and even some dress up. Who says you can’t be a French maid or pirate lass?
--Beach Sex: This is perfect for taking in the rays of the sun. This is also great for a star filled night or a night when the moon is at a preferred set in the sky.
--Anal Sex: Come on now, we all knew this one had to be here. Men love the idea of anal sex. Why? Who can be sure? It’s generally tighter and a different feel than vaginal insertion. So, grab the lube and shock your partner. The best fun for him? He didn’t have to ask for it.
Want to see the reverse? Or my opinion of what women want? Be sure to stop by a future tour hop for Bound.

Sunday Snippet

They got to the maintenance room, which led right into the trash compacter room. “Hey I’m parked here,” Joseph said.
“Your car can only hold four of us, pushing five. Not six,” Carlos said.
Kiley nodded. “Like the boss says,” she said, “We will make it fit.”
“Guys we have a problem,” Tony said looking down at the floor.
They all looked at the trail of blood leading out of the room into the room holding the compacter. “The room ain’t that big,” Carlos said.
“We can’t go back,” Donner said.
“We have to do it. The place is going to explode any second,” Kiley said. She had her metal stick in one hand and the other on the door. “Back me up guys.” She turned the knob and pushed open the door.
She looked into the dark room. She held her breath reaching inside with her free hand feeling for the light switch, finding it she flipped it on. The room already smelt of garbage, but there was another smell in there. The smell of death. Her eyes darted around seeing nothing then looked down at the blood trail on the floor. She followed after it slowly, one foot at a time. The guys had their guns pointed all around.
The trail ended in the back of the room. What she saw made her almost drop the metal stick, as her stomach heaved. Dark blood and gore ran down the walls with a large puddle on the ground. In the middle of the puddle lay the torn torso of one of the new janitors. His head had been half ripped from his body, and lay on its side looking up at her, its mouth wide open in a silent scream.
She turned disappearing behind what they called the grease pit, the metal compartment they and the other stores dumped their grease in, and threw up. Donner didn’t follow, but stayed by the side of the grease pit. “We have to go,” he said voice gentle. He didn’t dare look at the mess at the back of the room.
She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. “Okay,” she said. “I’m okay.” She came around to meet him.
Carlos was standing by the door, far away from whatever was back there. He didn’t want to even know what it could be, and just wanted to get the hell out of there. He didn’t notice the blood soaked hands until they grabbed his chubby neck. He let out a deafening scream, and it echoed through the metal walled room. The corpse had him good, he struggled, but its hold on him wouldn’t budge from his position. He had no real fighting ground. He screamed again as he felt the human teeth sink into the flesh of his shoulder, and then numbness.
The others were trying to get him away from the zombie. No one dared to shoot because he was too close. Kiley remembered her metal stick. She pushed herself in close, knowing how dangerous it was. She swung the stick hard hitting the zombie in the head. It turned its head looking at her. Shane yelled for her to watch out, just as she jammed the stick into the zombie’s eye. She shoved as hard as she could. The zombie fell backward with the pressure. She stepped on its chest and using both hands she moved the stick around as if stirring it. The zombie lay still unmoving.
She left the stick where it was in the zombie’s head and went over to check on Carlos. “He’s hurt pretty bad,” Joseph said. Just then the gas caught, and the room earth-quaked around them.

Blood Witch has been out for 4 days now and I am very surprised by how well it is selling. It really shows me that I really I have to get on #2. I just hope that my next book out Awaken the Elements book 1 in my Element Trilogy, which is a dark erotic fantasy, does just as well. This also makes me want to jump out of the small writing slump I have been in and finish up my current WIP which is another dark erotic fantasy, I have called at the moment Island of the Zombie King. I am almost to the end I can see it finally. I also need to finish editing Playing with Magic, book #2 in the Element Trilogy. I should by this Summer get into Opposite Side #2 Blood Father.
I just wanted to give a special thanks to all the people who have purchased Blood Witch!
