Weekly Notes, June 16, 2014

Straight from the desk of Alice Brown & Lady V: ​

We are back home from our relaxing camping trip and ready to get back to work. Still working hard on Ivormantis, Dragons of Dragonose 3; however, Alice has also started the story outline to Up in Smoke, Texas Vampire Rangers 2!  We hope to have this book out sometime this fall.  As the story progresses, we will be sure to share snippets with you!  

We participated in a author take over at Hooked on Books Friday and met a lot of new fans.  We had a great time and gave away a lot of prizes.  To those of you who were there, thank you for your support.

Here are a couple of scenes we are trying to finish ironing out on Ivormantis, Dragons of Dragonose 3! 

          




Featured Author of the Week:  KD Jones                                      


Tell us a little about yourself, your personal life.   
I am a divorced single mother of one spectacular little boy.  I work a day job to support us and at night I follow my dream of becoming a writer.

How long have you been writing?
I have been making up stories since I was a little girl.  I attempted writing romance novels when I was fifteen.  Started over twenty stories but never finished any of them.  I published my first book Katieran Prime in May of 2012.
What drove you to writing?
It has always been a dream of mine.  But after going through a very painful child custody battle and an ugly divorce, I felt something was missing.  I challenged myself to write a story beginning to end.  I did and had some of my friends read it.  They encouraged me to publish it.  I thought maybe one person would buy it.  It was a surprise when other people liked my story.  But something more important happened to me.  I found that the writing flowed out of me.  It was like I was born to be a writer.
What do you feel the most comfortable writing?  (Shifter, Mystery, Cowboy, etc.)
I find it easier for me to write science fiction.  I love to make up brand new worlds.
Who’s your favorite author?

Of all time?  That’s hard to say.  I can narrow it down to my top three that have been the most influential.
Christine Feehan Laurann Dohner JR Ward
What are the best times for you to write?
I am limited on my time because I have to work a day job.  So most of my writing is done after 8pm when I have put my son to bed.  But I get a lot of writing done on Saturdays too.
When you are not writing, what do you enjoy doing?
I spend time with my son and when he is too busy to play with his old mom, I read.





Tell us about your book:                                            
 
My most recent book released May 2014 was Kiljorn Commander.  This was a special release for me because it also marked my 2 year publishing anniversary.  The couple in this story has been waiting 2 years for their story to be told so I think a lot of my readers were excited about it too.

In book eight of Katieran Prime: Commander TylOR of the Kiljorn nation has a mission to guard the wormhole from enemies of old and new enemies within. He shares this mission with the half-brother who he only recently met. The two brothers don’t get along. To make matters worse, the one female who has plagued him since he first met her is going to be traveling with him. His brother tortures him with constantly flirting with the female. TylOR fights his inner battle to claim the female. If he doesn’t soon encounter an enemy he can kill, he might have to take out his brother while waiting.
Dr. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Connell has a PhD in linguistics, a doctorate in social cultures, and a doctorate in foreign languages. She has traveled all over Earth learning new cultures and experiencing the thrill of living on the edge. When she travels to Katiera she thinks it will be the pentacle of her academic career. Lizzie gets a lot more education than she had anticipated. First, she is almost captured by the Katieran's long time enemy, the Morins, only to be sort of rescued by the most egotistical, yet attractive man she has ever met. One she finds she has a hard time ignoring. Lizzie survives one battle from the Morins, only to find herself fighting an internal battle of wills that she fears has an inevitable outcome.
TylOR and Lizzie have fought their attraction for one another from the very beginning. They have tried to ignore each other but circumstances change forcing them to be in close proximity of one another. They must face their feelings for one another while handling the dangers they are thrown in.
Will they survive long enough to see their relationship through? Will the enemy end them before they can start? Come follow the journey as both TylOR and Lizzie discover there are some things you just can’t fight and some worth fighting for.
 EXCERPT:
“What should I do…about Elizabeth?”
AshOR chuckled. “From my experiences with Earth Females, I have learned two things will work every time.”
TylOR waited and waited but AshOR was being overconfident holding back. He was near the end of his tolerance. “What two things?”
“One, the male is always in the wrong so the male has to say he is sorry.”
“But what if I am not in the wrong?” TylOR asked with confusion.
“You are male so you will always be in the wrong in her mind.”
“That is ridiculous. I have to apologize even if I am right?”
“Yes, and apologize even if you don’t know what you did wrong to begin with. Practice saying, ‘Honey, I was wrong and you were right’. It works every time.” AshOR nodded his head.
TylOR tried it out. “Honey, I was wrong and you were right.”
“Yes. Oh and add at the end, ‘please forgive me’. I swear that last part gets a smile from her.”
TylOR practiced again. “Honey, I was wrong and you were right. Please forgive me.”
“You got it.”
“If apologizing for no reason is the first thing, what is the second thing?”
“Females want to feel like the decisions are theirs. So tell her something like, ‘I will support your decision’.
TylOR frowned. “But I may not agree with her decision if it puts her in danger.”
“Does not matter. If you tell her you support her decision, she will defer to what you think and you can manipulate her into deciding what you want her to decide to begin with,” AshOR said it like it was the most simple thing in the world.
“That is very controlling and devious,” TylOR commented with a bit of disdain.
“Hey, when it comes to protecting our females, we might have to be a little controlling and devious.” AshOR defended himself.
“True,” TylOR admitted grudgingly.
“Good luck, brother.” AshOR turned and walked away. TylOR headed toward his suite with dread and anticipation.
*****
Lizzie was furious. TylOR and AshOR were so… so male! She went to take a shower then she was heading to bed. Maybe she would be asleep before TylOR came home. She did not want to deal with him right then.
She undressed kicking her dress to the floor of the bathroom. She turned on the shower to let the temperature warm up. She turned it hotter than usual because she wanted it steamy. She stepped inside the large shower stall and felt the heat soak into her skin relaxing her immediately. She took the soap and washed her body then worked on her long curly hair. A sound caught her attention and she turned toward the bathroom door. TylOR.
He stood there watching her with desire in his eyes. Oh no. That so not going to happen. “I thought I locked the door.”
“I unlocked it.”
“Go away.” She covered her breasts with her hands the best she could.
He frowned. He did not like her covering herself from his view. He took his clothes off quickly dropping them to the floor.
“Wait! What are you doing?”
TylOR entered the shower stall. This was much better. Her lovely pale skin glistened with the water flowing down her body.
“TylOR, why are you in here? I am mad at you!”
He nodded his head. “I am wrong and you were right.” Wait, he was supposed to add something else to it. What was it?
“You were wrong?” Her nudity forgotten with what he had just said. Men didn’t just admit they were wrong.
“Yes.” What was he supposed to add? “You will forgive me now?” At her frown he knew he had said it wrong. “Will you…will you please forgive me?” Yes, that was it. He waited for the smile that was supposed to happen. Instead, he received a slap across the face.
“Get out!” Lizzie pointed to the door of the bathroom.
“I do not understand. You are supposed to forgive me.” TylOR refused to move.
“So you think you can give me a false apology and all will be forgiven?” she asked him, crossing her arms over her chest, which drew his attention.
“Yes. AshOR said…”
“AshOR! You listened to AshOR?” She was livid that he would talk about their relationship to someone else instead of coming to her.
“He has more experience with Earth females than I do.”
“Listen up, buddy, your brother may be a bit of a player, but he doesn’t have a mate now does he?”
TylOR thought about it and frowned. She was right. He took advice from a male that was not mated. Not too smart. “No, he is not.”
“I am just so furious. What else did he tell you to say?”
“Maybe I shouldn’t…”
“Tell me!”
“He said to tell you that I will support your decision.”
She fumed. “You would say that you supported my decision but you really wouldn’t would you?”
“Not if it put you in danger,” he admitted.
“I am so mad right now!” She forgot she was naked and put her hands on her hips while she mumbled unpleasant things.
Seeing her like that, worked up, breathing heavy, pinkened skin, those breasts bouncing with each deep breath she took was making him…aroused. He wasn’t the only one to notice his body’s reaction.
“Oh hell no! You think you are going to get some after this little stunt…”

A Message from the Paws:  Harley & White Star

Well, we were having a very relaxing and peaceful week until the humans came home from their camping trip.  Don't get us wrong, we were glad to see them.  Our water needed to be changed out and the cat pot was starting to get nasty.  It was that overgrown ox they call their puppy that could have stayed camping!

They come in first, and all is fine.  We come up and rub against them, hoping they will reach into the treat container and give us a big handful since they had been gone for several days.  All is well.  All is quiet.  

And then that 55 lb. dog comes barreling in like a freight train, tries jumping on their brand new couch.  The one we know as mom yells, and there goes our peace and quiet.  Oh well, it was good while it lasted!

 Meanwhile, we hear he is going to get fixed soon.  We hope that "get fixed" means he'll stop acting like a barbarian on steroids!
