Today's Research: Silk – Interactive Generative Art (Link)
So, theoretically, this isn’t research. But hey, you try and write as much as I do and not enjoy something as soothing as this website! :P It’s seriously addictive. I swear. And very relaxing :)

Some might think Zane’s a jerk. After all, he has or had the best of both worlds for a short time, at any rate. Jake, me – he got his rocks off at both ends. But inside, Zane’s head is in a muddle and I don’t know what he has to do to clarify what he needs to do to unravel it all.
“It’ll all be okay, won’t it, Zane?” I ask, feeling uncertain and insecure, where moments ago I’d been feeling the complete opposite. It’s a stupid question, but one that pops out of my mouth regardless.
“Of course, honey,” he murmurs, his voice as molten as the endearment he just uttered. It isn’t a trite, throw-away of course, either. He means it. And even though nothing in our conversation warrants it, and even though I don’t know where it came from, it gives me the strength to ask:
“Are you going to say goodbye to me soon?”
His silence makes me choke up, but it’s soon cut through with a sigh. “No. I can’t.”
“Why can’t you?”
I wish I could see his face. Look into his eyes, study his features and make an analysis. But I’m just relying on the subtle nuances in his tone, and the picture I’m painting isn’t complete. In fact, it paints more questions than it answers…
With Mona gradually realizing that life is a fickle mistress, she knows she has choices to make. Choices that will change her future forever. And regardless of the chaotic tangle of her affair with Zane, she still wants and needs him to be a part of her present.
But with news of their affair having hit the gossip columns, Mona knows there’s little to no chance of that occurring. Where once the future was bright, now it’s bleak until the remarkable occurs. A stranger who’s not so strange turns up at her door and offers her an alternative path.
To Mona, being a kept woman was as unorthodox as could be, but what Zane’s husband, Jake Harris, suggests makes less sense than Martians taking over NYC. In fact, he might as well propose that she turn green.
But for Zane, is she willing to do the unthinkable?
Is she willing to take on sex god no. 2 to retain no. 1?

This is actually very interesting, but also, something that cropped up thanks to an idea that popped into my head. Oh, the joys of being a writer ;) Weirdass stuff just drops into your mind and you have to look into it, or it drives you nut :P
"“Hey! I made that shit heap into my home.”
His snort has me scowling. “Honey, you deserve far..."
His snort has me scowling. “Honey, you deserve far better than that dump. You deserve to be where you’re supposed to be staying right this minute!”
Heat trails along my cheeks and then brands them with a bright pink flush. The softness in his voice touches me deep inside, so deep that I have to swallow before I can speak again. Considering his apartment is top-end luxury, his words reveal his feelings for me.”

What a difference 90 years make. I think this past century has spun by psychotically fast. How can it have gone from this to Ibiza-party central or the tourist haven resorts? I’m not complaining I’m just having a head-shake moment! This is a continuation of my Nat Geo Found blog crush :P

Today's Research: Kinky Japan (Link)
Though you wouldn’t think it, Japan has one of the most innovative and exceptionally kinky sex cultures. From pornographic cartoons and comics, to a variety of fantasy love motels, host clubs, bond…
This is a really interesting article I found thanks to StumbleUpon :) It gave me some tips and hints on the scene in Japan, something that I’m going to need for an upcoming book… I won’t give too much away. I’ll say two things, but you’ll have to read the article to know why and what they mean:
Oshouji
Nyotaimori… or in the case of my novel: Nantaimori
:D
Man, I love research. :P

Letting my finger drift along the line of those ripped muscles,...
Letting my finger drift along the line of those ripped muscles, I’m having too much fun to realize that his eyes have opened and that he’s watching me with amusement. The instant I do, I blush. Christ, being a strawberry blonde is a killer sometimes.
“You know what you’re starting, right?”
His voice is usually deep, but this early morning rumble sets me on fire.
An unfortunate turn of phrase for someone in my circumstances, but hey, it’s the truth.
“Very aware,” I retort, and continue to trail my finger over his flesh, taking particular pleasure in rubbing the line of his obliques. Yum.
He grabs my hand and curls upright, in a move that has each muscular square of his stomach curling and tautening. “Let’s clean up, first.”
For a moment, I wonder if I stink. And then, I remember two things. Christ, this isn’t a romance story. Morning breath does exist in this world, as does the garlic-rich spaghetti sauce we both consumed last night. Because of that, I’m not offended and jump up and run to the bathroom.
Stuffing my toothpaste-loaded toothbrush into my mouth, I jump in the shower for a quick wash. And squeal, when an equally toothbrush-touting Zane pops in front of me.
Until now and unlike myself, he’s always respected my privacy. Somehow, I know this marks the start of the demise of privacy as I know it.
After the revelations that sprang forth after her one night stand, Simone feels both betrayed and guilty as hell in the aftermath. When Zane calls her, looking to take her out again, what can she say apart from, ‘Get real! And while you’re at it, get lost!’
But when Zane refuses to take her rejection and forces her to listen to his unorthodox tale, he sets Simone on to a path she never imagined impossible.
With her life changing about her, only her friends can keep her grounded.
But does she want to have her feet planted firmly on the ground?
Or is she ready for adventure?
Even if that adventure means her becoming something that goes against her every principle.
