Welcome to Jessica, I'm excited to have you here today. So on with the show, I have a few questions for you. Firstly, lets show off your fantastic cover!<br />

<span lang="EN-US">“Breathless” is a romantic ghost about a
young woman, Leah, who is travelling alone in the British Virgin Islands. The
action begins during a scuba dive at a sunken wreck, supposedly haunted, when
Leah discovers her oxygen tank is empty. This story is inspired a little bit
from my own experience. I actually ran out of air during a dive about two years
ago. Obviously, I survived. But, I’ll tell you, it was pretty darned freaky. In
Leah’s case, she turns to one of the dive instructors, Dale, an Operation
Enduring Freedom veteran, to get her back to the surface safely. The shared
exhilaration of their experience forges a connection between these two. I bet
you can see where this is going … </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As the tour group moves from the boat to
the beach for an overnight campout, Dale and Leah are drawn to each other. They
discover they’re each searching for ghosts, but for very different reasons.
Throw in a moonlight hike, a salt pond, a bonfire … </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I have a career that is very different from
writing, but writing is something I’ve done since I was a kid, although not
seriously until 2010. I tried to write my first book in high school, and even
got a bunch of chapters done. I have it somewhere in my house. I should dig it
out and see how awful it was. I started another one right around the time I
began grad school, which took over my life, and I totally forgot about the
book. Years later, I got the writing bug back. I found the book I started in
grad school, threw out almost all of it, and then finished it a year later.
I’ll confess: it was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not </i>good, but it
was one of the best moments of my life. I wrote my second book the next year
while rewriting the first—a task that took three years, and I’m sure an editor
would still give me plenty to do on it. Now, I’ve written four novels and a
whole slew of short stories, one of which is “Breathless.” In the last five
years, I’ve grown so much as a writer, largely from meeting other writers and from
practice. I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">must </i>state: the network
I’ve built—these people are incredible. I could never do this without them. We’re
there for each other every single day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>3.
Do you believe in Bigfoot?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Absolutely not. But we’re Bigfoot fans in
our house. My husband, Eric, bought us our very own garden Yeti, complete with
a sign, warning everyone to beware. Eric’s Bigfoot impersonation is superb, by
the way. Despite my skepticism, one of my future projects will contain a Yeti.
My second book is called “Therapist of the Damned,” and it’s about a
psychologist who discovers her patients are vampires and all manner of
supernatural creatures. I love this concept, although I’m well aware that
vampires are a tough sell these days; if I’m never able to get it published, I’ll
probably continue to develop the stories, because they’re pure fun. So, one
night, over dinner, Eric and I were brainstorming characters for my book. He suggests
I add a Yeti to my series, and I’m like, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">no
way</i>. Then, I realize the brilliance of his idea. A yeti in treatment for
social phobia! Too perfect. My main character will definitely need a larger
couch.</span></div>

everyone tonight I'm delighted to have back on my blog the lovely Sheri Velarde
who is here to re-reveal her book. I've never had one of those before so I'm
looking forward to this!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">So you may be
asking why I am having a cover re-reveal or what is a re-reveal anyways? Well
you see, life sometimes gets in the way of the best laid plans and changes
sometimes have to be made. When I had my first cover reveal back on February 1
(I know because it was my birthday) Quest for Redemption seemed to be on the
fast track to coming out, but then life happened. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">I can't remember
which happened first, but both my editor and I got sick. Like not a cold or flu
sick, but majorly sick. I had a major flare in my multiple sclerosis which left
me pretty much useless until it began to subside. School, which I was taking
just for fun, began to demand more and more of my time. This caused a delay in
edits, hence the delay in Quest coming out. Things happen and I can't say that
I am truly shocked the Quest for Redemption hit a few bumps on its way to
publication. You see, this book has been nothing but bumps and a test in
perseverance. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Quest for
Redemption has been a mountain for me to climb, over three years in the making
and I have finally reached the summit, publication is in sight. This started
off as a novel written during National Write a Novel Month, so needless to say
the first draft was a hot mess. It got tabled for a while, then I picked it
back up and cleaned it up added things here and there, turned it into something
readable. Finally I submitted it, it got accepted. During the time of pre-edits
the story began to change again, becoming more fantasy than romance, the
characters deepened and solidified. It was hard work this novel, my longest
work to date and also my toughest to get through. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Blood, sweat, and
many tears went into this work and soon it will be out in the world! This is by
far one of my biggest accomplishments as an author. My first full length novel,
my first fantasy piece, my first book with my new publisher. Quest for
Redemption represents over three years of hard work, sure it took me a little
longer to get here bear the release date, but I got here and for that I am
grateful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Excerpt: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Zanna stood,
stunned into immobility. While with Alana, she would have to travel the human
way. The thought slightly annoyed her, yet fascinated her at the same time.
"I do not travel by vehicle, so I will be forced to ride in yours."
She could still smell and see the fear in Alana, so she tried to lighten the
mood. "You know I have never actually ridden in a car before."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"Really?"
Alana seemed shocked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"I have never
had the need. I simply come and go in this world when I want. I usually arrive
and leave the very spot I wish, and there is never a need for me to travel from
place to place while in this realm. Not to mention I find the transportation of
humans to be quite slow and cumbersome." Nonetheless, Zanna elegantly bent
her long frame into the passenger side, slightly curious to see why many humans
loved their cars so much. Sitting inside one, she felt rather cramped and
uncomfortable, and while it was a fast means of transportation for a human, she
didn't understand what was so special. Maybe one had to be human to fathom why
vehicles fascinated them so.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Alana very
nervously started her car and began to pull out. "Aren't you going to put
your seatbelt on? We don't want to get pulled over."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"Excuse
me?" Zanna had no idea what the sprite spoke of.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"The human law
enforcement requires all people within a vehicle to wear a seatbelt." She
pointed to the belt around herself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">As she pulled the
belt and fastened it like Alana's, Zanna asked, "What is it for?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"Protection in
case of an accident. Stops you from flying through the windshield," she
explained. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"How curious.
You know it is completely unnecessary for me. But if it will keep human law
enforcement from interfering, so be it. The less I have to deal with humans,
the better." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">The drive to
Alana's home did not take as long as Zanna expected, especially considering she
was used to arriving in places almost instantaneously. She actually found the
trip rather interesting, seeing the human world in a way she had never
experienced before. The tall metal buildings and the harsh exteriors held a
beauty to them in their angles and order that she had never realized before.
While she could never give up the open airiness of the magical realm, viewing
this realm as a human gave her some insight into humans and their nature. Alana
pulled into the parking lot of a very tall and nice-looking apartment building.
She turned off her car and Zanna could see that she was once again trembling. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"What are you
going to do to me and my mother?" She spoke so quietly that a mere human
would have had a hard time hearing her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"I am going to
gather information. The more I hear about how little you know, the less
inclined I am to punish you. I would like to know why you and your mother, who
have magical blood, cannot enter our world. It is your birthright. If you
cannot enter our world and have not been allowed those privileges of being
two-natured, then I cannot punish you for not following our laws." Zanna
tried to smile and reassure Alana that she meant her no harm. Judging by the
look on her face, it worked. Zanna had been told before that when she smiled at
humans and stared directly into their eyes they believed whatever she said. It
came in handy when questioning them before erasing their memories. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Alana took a deep
breath and stepped out of the car. Zanna attempted to follow, but forgot to
take off the seatbelt and found herself still restrained. To her surprise,
Alana giggled, and after a moment, so did Zanna. That shocked her even more.
She rarely laughed, let alone giggled like a young girl. Kalan had been right
saying that something was up with her tonight; she definitely was not herself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">As Alana took the
lead, she said, "My mom's going to freak out that an elf is coming to our
home. She always talks about how strong, powerful, and beautiful elves are.
She's going to be so pleased, but mad that I didn't call to warn her that you
were coming."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"I told you I
mean no harm to your mother. There is no need to warn her."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">"No, you
misunderstand. She's going to wish she had time to clean and dress nicely for
you. To make our home and herself more presentable to you," Alana
explained.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Zanna was about to
answer that this would not be necessary, but they had just walked inside the
apartment building and a young man in the lobby, apparently leaving, walked
right toward them. Alana and Zanna both stopped talking, not wanting to be
overheard. Zanna also noticed that Alana's posture stiffened, and she could
smell a little fear coming off her once more. She could tell that, this time,
she was not the one causing the reaction. Zanna glanced and saw that Alana was
blushing and peering shyly at the young man coming their way.</span></div>

of three and a grandmother of four. Her husband supports her imagination and
has the patience of a saint. She’s been writing since she was a child, creating
plays to act out in front of the neighborhood children. .She charged them five
cents admission to join her in the family garage for the play.</span></div>

breakdown, Franny had to express herself on the computer since she couldn’t
speak, everything coming out gibberish at that time. She’s slowly healed to the
point that she can function fairly well. Writing was the best medicine for her,
and still is.</span></div>

rainforests and Caribbean islands rather than about cities. Her characters are
well rounded and share her wacky sense of humor.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Blurb:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">After serving his
king during time of war, all Melvil wants to do is get back to his family
estate in the French countryside. Weary and homesick, he doesn’t even stop at
night to rest in his eagerness to see his family. On the side of the road in the
middle of nowhere he finds a lost and disoriented woman all alone. The chivalry
his lived by insists he must stop for her, even if everything else tells him
something is wrong and he should run.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">That night, that
moment, changed everything for Melvil. If only lightning had not illuminated
the sky, everything would be different. One act of kindness dooms him to a life
that he never wanted. How can he live with himself now? And what can he do
about the creature who made him? The woman he loathes and lusts after at the
same time?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Excerpt:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Honnor was standing
over him smiling when he next awoke. He must have passed out around dawn as he
still prayed for release from this nightmare. Now it looked as if his prayers
and protection spells had been ignored. The she-devil had come to make her work
complete and destroy him as promised. This time he didn’t bother to scramble
away, all he could hope for now was for her to change her mind and kill him
instead of turning him into a monster. Fate would not be so kind to him, though
it seemed for Honnor was not the only other presence in the room. There was a
human man. Melvil could hear his heartbeat and the blood pumping in his veins.
It was the most wonderful thing that he had ever heard in his entire life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">A powerful lust
that he had never felt before overtook him. Despite himself and the disgust he
felt, he craved the blood that smelled more delicious than any previous meal.
Melvil moved against his conscience toward that which he craved to the point of
insanity. The man cowered as he approached, begging for his life, but all
Melvil could hear was the faster beating of his heart, feeding his blood lust.
Instinctively he grabbed the man and bent his mouth, biting his victim’s neck,
gnawing through the skin as he didn’t have fangs, until the delicious nectar of
life began to flow into his mouth, causing Melvil to moan with pleasure. Soon
the man stopped struggling, the last of his fight and life drained out of him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Melvil raised his
head and wiped the blood from his mouth, then looked down at the dead man. Now
that his hunger was satiated he came back into his own mind. Horrified at what
he had done, he dropped the body and moved away, shaking his head and mumbling,
“No, no, no…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Honnor clapped her
hands together, smiling broadly. “Fantastic, you are now complete! Even your
fangs have grown in. Doesn’t the first kill feel fantastic?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">He turned to her,
thinking she must be daft to not notice how disgusted he was with himself, not
to mention the hate that he had for her. “Fantastic? I just killed a man!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">She tilted her head
to the side, “But you have seen war with the king, have you not? I found the
evidence in your belongings. Surely you have killed before.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Not by drinking
their blood!” Melvil spat. “You have turned me into a soulless monster, like
yourself!”</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Author Bio:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Sheri Velarde, who
sometimes uses the pen name Kelly Ryan, lives in New Mexico and grew up with a
fascination for all things that "go bump in the night", so it is no
wonder that she turned to writing paranormal romance. In her spare time, she
fancies herself a cryptozoologist and loves to paranormal related outings,
searching for things that might not really exist. She is an avid exerciser and
gets some of her best ideas while on runs. She also has a bit of a wild side,
which only leads to inspiration for her writing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Being an avid
reader since an early age, she has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can
remember. She has been writing all her life, but only recently started to
actually try to pursue her dream of writing for a living.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">She is constantly
putting out new material, so it is best to keep up with her on her website.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Sheri is a
multi-published author; you can keep up to date with all things Sheri Velarde

<i>Trenton Leos has always been known to many as the Dominus, the man to go to for the perfect D/s match. However, Trenton and his brothers are about to find out that he and their lifestyle have become the target of a political cleansing. A shady operation with very deep pockets comes to the surface when Trenton is asked to investigate q dark secret that threatens the future of Pyotr Laszkovi’s younger brother: Trofim and his love, Shay Wilks.</i>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>~ * ~</i></div>
<i>Trofim Laszkovi would never forget how right it felt to be in Shay’s Wilks’ arms five years ago. But Shay’s father made it frighteningly clear with threats hard to ignore, that Trofim’s family would pay the price if he didn’t stay away from Shay. So with the help of a friend, Trofim made a career move that put him an ocean away.</i>
<i>Even now, having finally returned home only a year ago to the family he missed, Trofim hadn’t dared allow himself to look in Shay’s direction.</i>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>~ * ~</i></div>
<i>Shay Wilks has done everything he could to keep his father’s plans for him at arm’s length and protect his doctor’s degree from ruin by the same man. All in hopes that the only man Shay has ever loved will one day return to him.</i>
<i>Now, five years later, Shay finally has another chance to be with Trofim. If only he can convince Trofim they are better off together than apart. That and he must find a means to get out from under his Father’s brutal hold in time before losing Trofim again. </i>

MM / Erotic Romance / Artist theme</div>
<i>Xherdan Chantal is an artist still trying to find his place among the masters of color. He’s a rather independent soul, working at the New York Metropolitan Museum who lends no time to pretending to be anything he’s not or be involved in anyway other than to stimulate his muse.</i>
<i>However when a local pole dancer sneaks into his life and seduces far more than Xherdan’s muse, he’s not sure how to define it, but it feels too good to dismiss. Xherdan may not have planned any of this but he’s not out to buck what he feels. Exploring this new sensation with loyal attention that sets Sreven above the rest of the world that feeds his muse. But there’s just one fight a lover should never pick with an artist if he wants to stay. </i>

ABOUT THE TWINS</div>
Both Proud Indy Authors: Princess so and her twin, Talon ps love to torment their editor with a nefarious world of foreign-lang, slang, local dialect, stretched/outside-of-the-box definitions, and have even been known to throw in some con-lang at times. This, of course, is all thrown in there with the dyslexia soup stock they both suffer from that makes editing with them a joy<i> {joy: n see mental illness}</i>. But the final product comes out as richly detailed holographic worlds of Gay/MM Erotic Romance; Paranormal, Sci-fi, and War time Erotic-Romances; and along with Tal’s favorite Space Sci-Fi Frontiers and Prin’s favorite works of Post-Apocalyptic Dark Fantasies, all for readers to submerse themselves into and escape from the mundane.

<br />
I've had a really nice holiday. I'm playing with <strike>my new toys</strike>... my son's new toys, he had an x-box and some games so we've been playing. I also got some really nice presents, including a tablet with a keyboard so I can write on the go. Now that Christmas is coming to an end I finally have time to write a blog and tell you all about it.<br />
<br />
It's doing really well so far and has actually been nominated for an award. I only found out last night so i'm gonna put the link here and ask you pritty please to vote for me.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://critters.org/predpoll/shortstoryr.shtml" target="_blank">Voting Page!</a><br />
<br />
It's in alphabetical order so Lightson Dynasty is about half way down.<br />
<br />
I'm still overwhelmed at how well it's been received, I've had two 5* reviews already. (and I haven't had to pay anyone for them lol)<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun writing this story. I wanted to write a sweet romance, that had some comedy and yet deal with a bigger issue. I think I've achieved that.<br />
I don't think this will be the last we see of Jo and Marcus.<br />
<br />
<br />
Synopsis<br />
<br />
Jo has always been what he is and never what he seems. Will his
grandmother force him to live a life he doesn't want, or can he figure a
way out?
<br />Jo's life had never been simple. But since he moved in with his
grandmother, things only became worse. First, she assumes that Jo stood
for Josephine not Joseph. Then she believes all young women should be
suitably married, especially her granddaughter, Jo.
<br />So now Jo's expected to marry a man he's never met and whose own
grandmother also wants the match. But how can he when he must protect
his secret?
<br />Marcus would rather spend time with his books and the gentlemen at his club than women, let alone marry one.
<br />With both their grandmothers working against them, will they be able
to find their way out of this potentially scandalous situation? After
spending time together, will they want to?

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Jo couldn't help but laugh out loud at that
statement. "I will bet you any amount of money you care to name that you
will never meet a girl like me again." Jo moved well back from the edge of
the cliff and opened the basket to retrieve the blanket that lay across the top
of the food. Marcus helped Jo to set out the food, and they sat down. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"How did your grandmother convince you
to come, if you do not mind me asking?" Jo asked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"She did what every mother and
grandmother does when she wants a male of her acquaintance to do something he
might not want to do. She threatened me. She told me that if I did not comply,
then I would be cut off and disowned."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"That seems rather extreme."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"My grandmother wishes to see me
settled down before she dies. And my mother, well..." Marcus paused,
staring down at his food and avoiding eye contact.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"I know we just met, but I promise you
nothing you say to me will go any further than the two of us. My grandmother,
after all, is doing the exact same thing to me."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Marcus nodded. "I suppose we are
somewhat in the same boat, as it were. Very well, my mother is too frightened
of my grandmother to dare oppose her on anything. She is my father's mother,
and very used to getting her own way. She also has the type of mind that once
'tis made up, there is no changing it."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Jo nodded. "Grandmother is just the
same, but I have no mother and father any longer whom I could turn to. I shall
have to put up with it. I must confess, I fully intended to make myself as
unpleasant as possible for the duration of your stay to insure that you
wouldn't even think of making me an offer."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Marcus laughed goodnaturedly. "I
planned to be as boorish as I could manage, so you wouldn't accept when I did.
Ye gads, we are a pair, aren’t we." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"What are we going to do now? You have
to ask, and I have to say yes." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Jo couldn't help but feel downcast as this
all became extremely overwhelming. He just did not know what he could do now. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"I do not know. If they were not such
close friends, I would suggest we lie. You could say I never asked, and I could
say that you refused me."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Jo huffed a laugh. "A good suggestion,
but it would not work. I never expected to marry. My mother used to tell me
that one day, I would find someone I wished to spend my life with, and she and
my father would be happy for me no matter who the person was. But now they are
gone. All Grandmother cares about is that I marry someone suitable."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"Why would you not marry? You are a
beautiful woman; gentlemen must have made you offers before," Marcus asked
as if genuinely surprised that Jo thought so lowly of himself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"We better get back to the house.
You'll want to settle in and get ready for dinner," Jo said, getting up
and artfully avoiding the question.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"Yes, you are quite right. It would be
most rude of me to delay you any further."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Jo couldn't help but smile. "I doubt
the staff expected me back in time for dinner tonight. That is why they gave me
the packed meal."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">"Planning to avoid my arrival?"
Marcus asked with a wry smile.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Amanda has joined us today to answers some questions about herself and her new release Scandalous Endeavors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">1.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What do you do when you are not
writing?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">When I am not
writing I can be found spending time with my family or enjoying one of my other
pursuits. I spend a lot of time carting my kids to their after school
activities and back. My son is involved with basket ball and attends an after
school tutoring program. My daughter is in dance, cheerleading, and basket
ball. In the summer we like to spend time at the beach. The rest of the year we
can be found at parks, movie theaters, bowling allies, or just out enjoying
nature. When I do find me time I enjoy reading, crocheting, taking pictures,
playing on Photo Shop, and scrap booking. I fancy myself a photographer and can
sometimes be found photographing my friends and families children. I am also a
pageant mom and as a result spend a great deal of time helping my daughter
prepare for pageants, shopping for pageant close, booking pageants, and
traveling to and from the events. Occasionally my son also competes, but only
when the prizes are really good. I also enjoy baking, crafting, and horseback
riding though I rarely get the opportunity to indulge in them. When I am very
lucky I get to travel. I love visiting new places especially when they have
great history attached to them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">2.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Do you have a day job as well?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">I have two,
technically three day jobs. I am a substitute teacher for my children’s school
district and edit for two publishing houses. As a substitute I teach
kindergarten through twelfth grade and all subjects. I love the variety and
flexibility that subbing provides. As an editor I read manuscripts and
determine viability. I also complete content edits and act as a liaison between
the authors and the house. This job has many perks but the best one is
discovering new authors and great stories. I am blessed to have three fantastic
jobs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">3.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>When did you first start writing and
when did you finish your first book?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Technically I have
been writing since the day I learned how. As a child I wrote poems and letters
to family. In college I wrote tons of papers and a few short stories. However,
it was not until recently that I started writing with the intention of becoming
published. The first chapters of Scandalous Endeavors were written almost
exactly a year ago. I began working on it in December of 2013. I completed the
manuscript in September then spent some time spit shining it before I submitted
it for publishing in late October early November. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">4.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Do you ever experience writer’s block?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Oh my goodness—all
the time! When I was writing Scandalous Endeavors I constantly found myself
stuck without any ideas. I discovered that having someone to talk to and bounce
ideas off of was a great help. For me that someone was my sister Dawn who is
also an author. On the rare occasion that talking did not help, I would just write
anything no matter how crazy to keep going knowing full well I would be
deleting it all. I learned that the best way to get past writers block is to
keep writing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">5.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Do you work with an outline, or just
write?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">I do a combination
of both. With Scandalous Endeavors I planned how many chapters I needed and
then wrote a short sentence for each chapter telling me what I wanted to happen
in it. I also made character notes. Ultimately I ignored the notes and the
story went in its own direction. For my new WIP Once A Lady I decided just to
write down my main plot points and some character notes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">I would love to!
Scandalous Endeavors is a historical romance set in Victorian London. The
heroine, Amelia, finds herself in want of a husband after her father dies and
her American uncle orders her to move to America. Amelia has no intentions of
leaving England and devises a plan to trap an English lord in matrimony so that
she will not have to. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Lord Goldstone is a
Scottish duke who finds himself staying at his aunt the Duchess of Abernathy’s
home. The duchess has also agreed to act as Amelia’s chaperone for her
remaining time in London. Lord Goldstone and Amelia find themselves at odds
with one another as she continues to pursue her plans for an English husband
and he continues to fumble them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Here is an excerpt
that shows there tactics in action: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Lord Roseington
wrapped his arms around her and stood up, setting her on her feet. “Yes,
Amelia, everything is okay now.” He reached up and removed her arms from around
him, then took a step back. “We must stop winding up in these situations before
we cause a scandal.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">She looked at him
through hooded eyes. “‘Tis a wonder we haven’t already.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">A man cleared his
voice behind her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Amelia turned her
head, already knowing who had caught them. “Lord Goldstone, you mustn’t trouble
yourself with keeping our secret.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">“What she means to
say is that there is no secret to be kept. Amelia carelessly got close enough
to the hearth to catch her skirts ablaze. I could not very well let her burn
up.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">“No, Roseington,
you were obliged to help. I am glad to know that you were not taking advantage
of our dear Amelia.” He glanced at her and flashed a rakish smirk. “Indeed, you
are a hero. Let us go share the story while Amelia changes her charred gown.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">She tried her
hardest to shoot daggers at him from her narrowed glare. His grin only deepened
at the attempt, which increased her ire. “Don’t you dare tell a soul. I would
most definitely perish from the embarrassment!” Amelia spat the words out with
anger and annoyance. How dare he ruin everything for a second time, and then
jest about sharing her humiliation. If he were not Scottish, she would trap him
instead. That would teach him a lesson.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Do not worry your
head over it, Lady Amelia. We will not breathe a word of this little mishap,”
Lord Roseington said. “Right, Goldstone?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Of course not. All
of your secrets are safe with me.” He winked.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Amelia blushed at
what he had implied. “Thank you. Now that it is settled I am going to retire
for the evening. Enjoy the rest of the party. Lord Roseington, Lord Goldstone.”
She inclined her head to them before spinning on her heels and speeding from
the room.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">7.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>How did you come up with the title?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">My original title
was A Twist Of Fate but the more I wrote the less it seemed to fit. I started
to think that maybe I needed a new title. Then one fateful day I ran a search
for my working title and discovered that several other books already used my
chosen title. At that point I knew I needed a different title but had no idea
what it should be. I got on the phone with my sister and we started bouncing
around idea. The call concluded with a list of potential titles but I liked
them all and did not know how to choose just one. After pondering it for a bit
I had a brain child and posted them all on my blog. I asked readers to vote on
it and picked from the ones that were tied. In the end Scandalous Endeavors
seemed to fit the book best.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">8.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What project are you working on now?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">I am currently
working on two projects. A Veiled Identity is a compilation with author Dawn
Brower and is a contemporary romance. It is about a princess who flees her
kingdom to escape an arranged marriage and finds herself working on a ranch in
America. I am writing the female POV and Dawn id writing the male POV. My other
project is title Once A Lady and is a medieval romance. Princess Isobel leaves
her kingdom to search for her missing lady in waiting. Shortly after she sneaks
away Sir Ariston discovers her in the woods. He is a freelance knight swearing
loyalty to no king or lord though he is currently contracted by Isobel’s
father. When she refuses to return to the castle he refuses to let her travel
alone. The pair must work together to save the missing lady. While they are
busy on their quest Isobel’s castle is over taken and her father poisoned.
Among their budding attraction Isobel and Ariston must now save her kingdom. It
is planned to be a romantic adventure full of twist.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">9.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Do you prefer fuzzy or tub socks? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">The fuzzier the
better in the winter, but tube socks in fall and spring. Once summer makes an
appearance I abandon socks altogether. </span></div>

say to your readers and fans?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">

<span lang="EN-US">Lady Amelia has
only known the comfort of life in mid-eighteenth century English aristocracy.
But when first her mother and then her father die, she finds herself alone,
grief stricken and….. not of age. Her appointed guardian, an American uncle,
has ordered her travel to his plantation where she must remain for at least two
years when she will come of age. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">With the help of
Lady Grace and Lady Sarah, Lady Amelia gets her uncle to agree to give her four
weeks to settle her affairs and unbeknownst to him…find an English lord to
marry so she can remain in her beloved England. Despite her mourning period she
endeavors to trap one of London’s eligible bachelors in matrimony. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Lord Goldstone,
Lady Grace’s nephew is devilishly handsome, but a Scottish Duke and so entirely
unacceptable as a possible husband. After all Scotland is not her beloved
London and environs. He also has a nasty habit of showing up at all the wrong
moments and thwarting her carefully laid plans to ensnare a suitable husband.
Sparks fly as the pair find themselves at odds with each other and drawn to
each other at the same time. Can they find a way to stop arguing long enough to
explore their growing passion? Is it strong enough to make Lady Amelia give up
her English home after all? Or will Lady Amelia find a suitable English lord
and avoid social exile in America? Time is running out.</span></div>

nursing home, I want to go back and read you, and then get all hot and
bothered, be able to hide some Viagra in Byron’s applesauce, and have my way
with him. I may need to remind him of who I am, but that will only make it more

<br />
This blog hasn't been abandoned!! It's being made a little different and the links are being changed.<br />
<br />
So much has happened in the last month. I've had to leave my previous publisher and had my books taken down with them. On the plus side, I have a new publisher 'Three Worlds Productions' and will be re releasing my books with them. <br />
<br />
I'll be editing the ones that have already been out and making one a lot longer. I've already started work on the edits.<br />
<br />
In the mean time; I have a brand new book coming out very very soon.<br />
<br />
It's called The Lightson Dynasty. This book is set in the early 1700 and is the story of Jo Torchlight and his life. Having grown up in India and used to wearing what ever he wanted. Which, because of the heat, was more often than not a dress. It was a hard habit to break when he returned to England after the death of his parents. So he simply didn't. Living with his grandmother who was old and short sighted it was easy to be Josephine rather than Joseph. <br />
<br />
That is until Lady Torchlight decided no granddaughter of her's should remain unmarried.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited about this new venture I have great hopes of doing extremely well. My 'to be published this year' list is as crazy as it is terrifying.<br />
<br />
I'm posting regularly to my facebook authors page if you want to come along and 'like' me I'd be glad to see you and talk to you.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/RhiannonWellman?ref=aymt_homepage_panel">https://www.facebook.com/RhiannonWellman?ref=aymt_homepage_panel</a><br />
<br />
Now every things settled I can update more often because I know what's going on. I also have some guest authors popping in soon which is always nice :DAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05685215409953524260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532187233349663134.post-39405583370918388982014-09-05T22:52:00.001+01:002014-09-05T22:52:03.845+01:00Published or Bust! Day Five.<br />
Unfortunately today has pretty much been a bust when it comes to writing. What with a hospital appointment and a very long course in work I just haven't had time to get anything done.<br />
<br />
That doesn't mean I've stopped thinking about it. I've figured out a plot problem I had in Moon Bound. I have my main men meeting because one of them (Mark) is attacked. I knew I needed it as a plot devise and that it would be a big part of the story.<br />
<br />
Now I know who did it and why it's a big part of the story. It's funny that quite often I have no idea where a story will end up, I lay down threads like a spider. when it starts off it looks like lots of little lines spreading out in different directions. until eventually, they make a web.<br />
<br />
I have also in the last half hour had some amassing news. I can't tell you what it is yet, but it's very cool and I promise to tell you as soon as I can.<br />
<br />
So until tomorrow. (with a numbers update)<br />

<span lang="EN-US">Hello again everyone. The last few weeks
have been a bit rough on me. My very beloved cat had to be put to sleep. She
was 23 years old and had been with Hubby since she was 6 weeks. Needless to say
we were devastated, I think I will always miss her. She will forever have a
place in my heart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I find myself in need of a distraction, So.
This September I have decided to push my writing as much as possible. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">By that I mean not just promote my already
published work, but the books I'm currently writing too. I'm going to pick four
stories from my Work In Progress list, (believe me it deserves the capital
letters.) and spend September trying to finish them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I'm also doing a blog tour, I'd like to try
and guest on a blog every day in September. I've already got three dates booked
hopefully with more to come. If anyone's free to host me please feel free to
get in touch with me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">My plan is to start each blog post with my
progress on each story, so you can encourage me and see how I'm getting on. The
blog entry's might not be very long but I'll answer any questions I might have
been asked on previous blogs tell you a bit about my day and snippets of each
of my stories.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The competition is nice and simple, over the whole tour I will be keeping an eye on all the comments, so I can respond to them all. The question or comment that's the most interesting or funny will win a copy of one of my e-books. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">One of the stories I'm going to use will be the sequel to Red on the Moon. </span>I'll announce the four stories and a little
bit about all the one's I've picked on my first blog stop which will be the
very lovely Leona Bushman. I'll start a link page so you can easily follow the different day's of my blog tour, I'll update that daily too. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So until Monday, see you soon.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Thank you for having me on your blog again!
I'm here today with my art. I've taken many art classes, but it's been years
and years, and I've been out of practice. This year, I renewed my commitment to
my arts—painting, quilting, sewing, crocheting, writing, oil pastels, soft
pastels, etc. as well as adding in a new one, designing fabric.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">And what a rush it has been!! Throughout
time, I try all sorts of styles. Some successful, some not so successful... LOL
I have two styles now: Impressionist expressionist, and palette knife a la
Georgia O'Keeffe. Love a lot of different types of art, but these seem to be
the ones I can do successfully.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Anyway, today, we travel to Australia. The
painting, Waves of Feeling is done en plein aire, meaning I did it on site,
rather than in a studio. It's found a lovely home, as you'll see here, as it
watches over the sleep of whomever graces the bed in Melbourne.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-autospace: ideograph-other; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">For nearly
two centuries, every female descendant of the witch Rebecca Grey has died
mysteriously at the age of twenty-one. The last of her line, Selena Grey has
done everything to live a normal life. That is until she learns of the curse
placed on her family. Selena's 21st birthday is coming soon and she has to find
a way to break the curse and live. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Decan Colt
wants more than anything to be normal again. For 160 years, he has walked the
earth a blood-thirsty monster, a Vampire. He was traded and trained at a young
age to be his mother's revenge on Rebecca Grey and her family. But when he sees
his latest target, he falters. Something about Selena Grey reminds him of the
humanity he thought he had lost so long ago.</span></div>

refuses to kill Selena, his maker decides to take matters into his own hands.
Together, they must break the curse or face the wrath of an older vampire bent
on vengeance. Will they be the latest victims of the Grey Curse?</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Excerpt:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">"This one's the last of her line. There
are no others, Deke." He held up a file and tossed it to Decan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Catching it, he thumbed through the small
stack of papers and moved back to his recliner. "Selena Michelle Grey,
born October 31st, 1991. Hair, blonde. Eyes, blue. Only child to Thomas and
Melissa Grey." Decan closed the folder and leaned back in his chair. The
last Grey. It meant his life's purpose had almost been completed. What would he
do when the time came when there were no more "missions"? There had
been a time when it had seemed impossible. He had spent his exceedingly long
life fulfilling his mother's wishes. Running a hand through his hair, he gave
it a tug before peering back up at his maker.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">"After this one, I'll be free?"</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Nikolai's lips turned up in a small smile.
"You'll be free. You know the drill. You have until her twenty-first
birthday to do recon. Study her habits—where she goes, who she sees. October
thirty-first, you strike."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Before Decan could blink, the elder man
disappeared. He glanced back down at the file in his hands and smirked. The
last Grey. How would he deal with this one? A fire? Or maybe a drowning? It
happened a lot with the Ohio River being so close. Whatever he did, he had to
make sure it looked like an accident. They didn't need people looking for a
murderer. It was one of their rules. Always make it appear accidental. Decan
couldn't afford to be caught. After 100 years, he had gotten good at his job.
First, with Violet Grey. Then Mary Sue and April Grey, Nancy Grey Callis and
last had been Elizabeth Grey. Five women he'd killed, all in his mother's name.
But they had deserved it, they all did. And now this one would die and fulfill
his mother's curse.</span></div>

<br />
I needed to take some time off. lots of rl stuff going on. So I set up a few posts as well as two guest posts. I logged on yesterday to write a post now that I'm back only to find that there was some sort of error and none of it posted!!<br />
<br />
to say that I'm unimpressed is an understatement.<br />
<br />
So I apologise to my guests for a late post for their blogs. And get on with the posts that should have been here all along, I do have a little bit of news for all of you but, if I wait a few day's I'll have conformation.<br />
<br />
So tomorrow I'll be hosting a guest hopefully i'll have worked out what went wrong<br />
<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Carson Locke is
a rare Tabula Rosa vampire. This was based on the idea of tabula rasa which in Latin
translates into blank slate. When Carson bites another vampire, their mind is
wiped clean, erased, creating a reprogrammable, blank slate, which can take on
any personality, including mindless killing machines. That is why Carson has
been sheltered his entire life and hidden away. In the past, Carson was forced
to bite someone he cared for deeply and is haunted by the terror of that memory.</span></div>

Lincoln Samuels is a Sanatore vampire. In Latin (I love Latin if you hadn’t
noticed), <i>Sanatore</i> means healer. Lincoln’s blood has the ability to heal
other vampires. However, there is a possible side effect - Lincoln could bond
physically and mentally with that vampire. In the past, Lincoln bonded with
another vampire with near disastrous results. Now, he must decide if he will
save Carson and risk that happening again.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Carson Locke is a Tabula Rosa vampire—a
dangerous rarity in the world of vampires. With one bite, he can wipe clean a
vampire’s mind, creating a mindless drone. Because of this, Carson has spent
his entire twenty-three years sheltered at home. That changes when his entire
family is murdered. Now on the run and near death, Carson meets Commander
Lincoln Samuels, a beautiful vampire who tries to heal him. In doing so, Carson
is bonded to the vampire and turned into something the vampire world has never
seen. When Carson is poisoned, he believes that someone wants him dead as well,
however there are greater plans for Carson put into motion hundreds of years
before his birth.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lincoln is a Sanatore vampire with the
ability to heal other vampires. He heads a team in the New Vampire Justice
police force in Utica, NY. Late one night, he is called to a local Vampire
Blood Market where a starving Tabula Rosa vampire is about to be executed by
one of his officers. Feeling a strong connection to Carson, Lincoln wants to
heal the broken man despite knowing the risk in doing so. Healing Carson could
destroy Lincoln and cost him the chance to love again. What Lincoln finds is
that there is a greater evil threatening to take Carson from him. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Excerpt:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Descending farther, the flashlight flickered. Carson froze.
Stopping to shake the light, he could hear the beating of his overwrought heart
in his ears, feel the knot of dread expand in his gut. Gods, if he had anything
in his stomach to throw up, he would. Right now, he needed the blood that the
Vampire Blood Market (VBM) provided. Carson’s teeth had only sunk into a vein once
and the nightmare of that moment had forever been burned into his memory.
Besides, from what he’d heard, the bite hurt the donor like a bitch. That was
mainly the sport of pain sluts and adrenaline junkies who visited bars where
biting was still legal. In his isolated world of Gifford, NY, blood had always
been supplied. Now, he had to feed himself. Without money, that meant stealing
what he needed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">At the bottom of the stairs, he peered through the small
window into the VBM. Walls of illuminated refrigerated cases held blood in
containers similar to milk jugs. Unfortunately, stealing milk didn’t hold the
same consequence as stealing blood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Ignoring the dangerousness of his mission, Carson grasped the
door handle. What he feared would be locked opened freely. Inside the VBM, the
refrigerated cases hummed. The air was cooler than in the hallway. Carson’s
mouth watered and his empty stomach clenched tight. Rushing to the first case,
he pulled open the door. He grabbed the closest opaque white container and ripped
the top off. Just as he lifted the container with the lifesaving liquid to his
lips, the lights came on and a voice shouted, “Freeze!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Carson dropped the container and gasped. His heart pushed
into overdrive, his breaths barely escaped his throat. He gaped at the three
men and two women dressed in black uniforms pointing guns at him. Carson tried
to remain still but his feet moved backward without thought.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">“Freeze or we’ll shoot!” A man with short black hair, who was
larger than a truck, leveled a gun at Carson’s head. The man could end all of
Carson’s pain. The fear, the hunger, the uncertainty, the agony of losing his
family. Just charge at the giant—or slip his hand into his pocket as if he had
a gun—and the bullets would do the rest. But as he ran into the wall behind
him, his muscles seized. He was going to die no matter what he did.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">“Down on your knees and hands on your head!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Without thought, Carson went down hard on his knees and
rested his hands on his head. His head swam from hunger, and his legs shook. It
was all he could do to remain upright. Carson closed his eyes and thought of
his younger brother, Caden, and his mom. He just wanted this to be over quick.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">“Strip him,” he heard the gruff voice say.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Carson’s chest locked up as hands grabbed him. They ripped
Carson’s parka over his head and then his sweater and T-shirt were next. The
chill on his skin sent a shudder through his emaciated body.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Please, do it quickly</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">Hands held him by his shoulders and arms, as if at any minute
he might resist. There wasn’t an ounce of resistance left in him, not an ounce
of fight. Tears burned his eyes like acid. Gods, his life had sucked so far.
This was the perfect ending.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">The large man stepped forward. Heavy black boots scraped the
floor. NVJ in large white letters crossed his chest. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">New Vampire Justice</i>. The vampire equivalent of a SWAT team, there
because Carson had been trying to steal blood, an act punishable by immediate
death.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; layout-grid-mode: line; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-no-proof: yes;">“You have been caught in the act of stealing blood from a

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt;">JC Wallace started writing from a young age, but took
a break for marriage, kids, and college (in that order). He recently
rediscovered his passion and ventured out into the brave new world of

Snow</i>, and his first novel, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Curiosity
Killed Shaney</i>. At night and on the weekends, JC writes about all things
men, believing there is nothing hotter than two men finding and loving one
another, whether for a night or forever. An avid reader of M/M romance, JC
loves a good twist of a plot, HEA, HFN, or tragic ending. He also writes what
his bestie calls HUNK (Happy Until the Next Kidnapping). </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A big thank you to Rhiannon for letting me
stop by her lovely blog here! I feel honoured to be here and will do my best to
entertain and hopefully I can be invited back sometime.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Today I thought that I would talk a little
bit about my love for the romance genre and why it is so much fun to write in.
I would first like to start off with a little story that I heard from a teacher
at the local community college where I live. We were talking about writing and
the romance genre in particular and she told me the following about one of her
recent students who happened to be a Gulf War veteran. She always assigns a
paper where her students a paper where they have to talk about their
relationship with reading and literacy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">He came up to her unsure what to write
about, so she asked what he liked to read. Sheepishly he told her romance
novels. He then went on to say that when he was stationed in Iraq he read
anything and everything that he could get his hands on, even though a lot left
him feeling down when he finished. There came a point where he had read almost
everything in camp so a nurse friend lent him some of her romance novels. At
first he scoffed, but there was nothing else to read and so he started one.
Turns out he loved them, in particular because many conflicts got resolved and
there was a happy ending that left him feeling good and hopeful, something that
really helped him considering the situation he was in. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I loved hearing that story and it hits on
one of the reasons I enjoy romance myself, it does take you away from your life
for a bit and usually ends on an up note. Now don't get me wrong, I read other
genres as well, even write a little horror myself now and then, but when I need
a pick me up, romance is where I go. Plus there is always so much to choose
from. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">And that leads me to the other reason I
love romance so much, all the wonderful sub-genres that there are to read and
write in. I myself started out writing paranormal romance, but have since
ventured on to contemporary, mystery and my latest release, Taking Pleasure
Where You Can is my first historical romance set during WWII. I plan on doing
more historical and mystery pieces and I even have a sci-fi romance in mind!
What other genre would allow me to jump around like that and still have the
same publisher and readers? As a reader myself it also always gives me
something new and fun to try and I love that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">So there you have it, just a couple of the
reasons I think romance books and writers are so darn great and I am not saying
that because I am a said writer!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US">Joe seemed to know everyone, and everyone
seemed keen to be near him. It made it much easier for the quiet by nature and
still healing John to slowly make some friends. Once the drinks started
flowing, he even began to loosen up a bit. He missed hanging out with guys,
telling stories, joking around, and laughing. His Captain had been right; this
was what he needed and what his friends who had passed on would want. He was
beginning to feel alive again, and it felt good. Then he caught sight of her.</span></div>

avid exerciser and gets some of her best ideas while on runs. She also has a bit
of a wild side, which only leads to inspiration for her writing.</span></div>

Today I'm another year older. I really will have to start going backwards soon. I'm the grand old age of 32. Next year I'll officially come of age (I'm short enough to be called a Hobbit lol)<br />
<br />
Look how cute I was.. <br />

What happened?!?!<br />
<br />
I think I was about 8 in this photo which my Bampa (welsh term for grandfather) and on of my cousins.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking back to when I was a child and thinking about all the things I wanted to do.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I was the oldest of all my cousins and I loved playing with them, so I wanted to get married and be a Mummy. I used to tell stories all the time. Even then I wanted to be a writer, but I called it being a story teller. <br />
<br />
I'm lucky enough to be able to say I've done both those things.<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun growing up (I'm still growing up lol)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I wasn't afraid of anything. (I still adore snakes) I have very fond memory's of this. My mother was terrified I just couldn't stop smiling. The handler was very impressed, I was the only girl willing to touch the stunning animal let along hold it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Looking over photos to find what I wanted to use for this blog got me thinking about what my earliest memory is. Well I've been racking my brains, (such as they are) and what I've come up with is:<br />
<br />
Learning to do 'the locomotion' (the little Nell one) in the ball room of the hotel where my dad was the DJ. It was just me and dad there he was setting up ready for work that night.<br />
<br />
What's the earlyest memory you have?<br />
<br />
I know today's post is a short one, but it's taken me all day to write what with family being here and going out for lunch. I have more guest's lined up over the next few days and after that I'll be having at least two guests a week. If you'd like to have a spot here let me know.<br />
<br />
See you soon<br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hi everyone, I’m super
excited to be here on Rhiannon’s blog today!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I’m new into author hood,
got published for the first time this year with the Moonlit Wolves series,
which is a paranormal erotic romance set around werewolves and there mates.
It’s also has fast action and hot sex. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Recently the 6th book in
this series <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Rub of My Werewolf </i>came
out on the 15th of June and is the start to the end of this arc, so there isn’t
a better time to join in and fall in love. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">To celebrate this milestone
for me, and to give you all, new and old, and glimpse into the series this is a
skit from Moonlit Wolves, coming to us a bit after book 5 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Werewolf’s Howl</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">please forgive me, this skit
has had no formal editing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Special Side
Story: On the Couch with Dr Collins</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“So, boys, tell
us your story,” Eamon asked as he fitted his arm on the back of the lounge
Chris and he were sitting on. Eamon in one corner, Chris curled into his side.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“What’s to tell?”
Gene spoke up. This wasn’t a surprise. Gene definitely was their mouthpiece,
though Eamon still wasn’t sure if it was a chose or his own personality, or if
he just liked the sound of his own voice. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“We both know
there’s a lot,” Eamon replied. There was no way he wasn’t going to get this
information. Not with how patient he’d been over the months as he let them get
comfortable with him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He’d been okay
with leaving it be for the time being, mostly because as far as Eamon was
concerned, gaining Chris’ trust had been number one priority.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Number two, had
been getting the other boy comfortable and settled into their new home. He
wasn’t sure if they had realised how difficult it had been for them to move. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Eamon had
understood on a professional level, and he treated them as such which amounted
to not going for the big guns first off. First was settling down, getting comfortable,
and gaining some form of trust, before dealing with the big issues. Most of the
time, the patient didn’t even know that the problems that needed the most work
where generally buried under the crap they came to him for in the first place. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The room had
stayed silent for a long time. None of the boys were looking at him, nor were
they looking at each other, which had something tighten up in his chest. Maybe
this wasn’t the right moment for him to learn this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">No, this was the
moment. It wasn’t a hard topic, and though they hadn’t seemed as caught up in
the past as a lot of kids who had been abandoned by families, they had quite
honestly seemed well-adjusted young men, until he’d had them move out of their
home and into his. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He’d just made
the suggestion; he’d not forced them into it. Quite honestly, he’d have loved to
have had the house to themselves, but they had been men, and men need their own
space which wasn’t something that was ever going to happen in the house they
had been living in. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmk-Wa4p8ZsTPP9bfnq-9Veqe031AHUtJkTnW6TNpEOz0NLr3pjgcHNCJ4L2tk7SfSxxEhnhPe8jGt8hiHFV0OEFK6r-DMphyvKDTSQVDfr_TzsFqPOXulDFSeHTQC1TFTUmwz628IgyE/s1600/Moonlit+Wolves+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmk-Wa4p8ZsTPP9bfnq-9Veqe031AHUtJkTnW6TNpEOz0NLr3pjgcHNCJ4L2tk7SfSxxEhnhPe8jGt8hiHFV0OEFK6r-DMphyvKDTSQVDfr_TzsFqPOXulDFSeHTQC1TFTUmwz628IgyE/s1600/Moonlit+Wolves+5.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a><span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The moving had
shown Eamon the small and large moments of abandonment. They hadn’t trusted him
to keep them, even when it seemed most of the time that they couldn’t see
themselves anywhere else, as if they’d all jump off a cliff if he’d so pointed
in that direction. But those sudden moments of not being where they were, of
feeling the slightest bit open and exposed had spoken of pain in the past that
was just waiting to explode in their faces. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Yet, those
moments weren’t the ones he wanted to talk about, he understood those, he
understood the need to be able to trust someone who stood as a father figure
and be scared out of their minds because the past hadn’t been kind to them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">This wasn’t what
he was curious about though, he understood the abandoned kind, and he’d dealt
with that in the past, not only from his late partner, but also with patients
that had come through his doors. He’d handing those moments when they came up,
and he continued to prove that to them what they already knew—he could be
trusted, and he was here to stay. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">What he wanted to
understand. What he wanted answers to was the comfort these boys had with each
other. It was a lover’s relationships, a friendship, a family vibe that cuts
through the first one, and made him double think his own intuition. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He knew there was
a story to be told, and he was past curious, he wasn’t going to let them out of
this room without knowing what had gone one with them, their origin story. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Eamon cleared his
throat, he’d let the silence hold for far too long, and then held back the
smile that wanted to break through as he watched ever man in the room shift.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Come on guys,
I’m dying to know this,” Tim said hitting him mate Colin on the thigh with his
foot. The boy was laying in the middle of the lounge room, it might not have
been his first choice but they were packed full tonight. Three large lounges
with twelve people stuffed into it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It wasn’t until
these moments that Eamon truly understood how small his lounge room was.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Eamon, Chris,
Adam, and Colin sat on his lounge, Tim laying on the flood in front of Colin.
Brad and James cat corner on another lounge with Kyle on the floor between
Brad’s legs, Gene in the middle of him, shifting around like Eamon had never
seen him do before. The last held Phil, Craig and Matt, Jex sitting on arm,
holding himself up with the back of the lounge. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Matt threw a
pillow across the room at Colin, his lounge had no one from, what Eamon had
learnt, the original group. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Talk bastard, we
are all beyond curious.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“You more than
anyone, right Matt, always left out,” James said, making that pout sound that might
have been him replicating Matt’s past self. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Fuck yeah, I
became this from needing to know, and I still haven’t learnt fucking shit.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“You’re still not
old enough,” Gene said from his lounge, a laugh lining his face. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Fuck off
arsehole, I’ve more than grown, you wanna see?” he started getting up, his
hands going to his file.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Trust me, kid,”
Gene muttered as Jex put his hand on Matt’s shoulder and pushed him back into
the seat. “We’ve all seen what you’ve got.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Plenty of
times,” Adam muttered softly from next to Chris, them both sitting in the same
spot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“And most likely
again tonight sometime,” Tim said, blushing on the floor when he must had
realised he’d spoken out loud.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“You’re probably
right, you are a massive bunch of voyeurs,” Matt quipped as he settled back. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“When the porn is
free, who wouldn’t be,” Kyle put on, and Eamon had enough.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Back on topic
boys,” he said in his, what they called it, his alpha voice. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“And what was the
topic?” Gene asked making Eamon narrow his eyes at the man.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“When did you
guys first fuck?” Jex said and it surprised Eamon, though he’d learnt in that
direction Jex either knew more, or had observed more than he had, which,
knowing his past as much as he could—which wasn’t much—he gathered learning
those connection people had with others came second nature to him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">

in the room gasp, some he was sure because they hadn’t thought of that, other
because they hadn’t thought they were that transparent. Though Eamon had learnt
that way because of the things they had said, and though he’d second-guessed
himself a time or two, had they truly believed they’d never mentioned it,
spoken about their relationships as if everyone already knew about it? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“It’s not really
that interesting a story,” Gene said as he looked around. “Where’d we even
begin?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“The start would
be a good place,” Tim spoke up, making Eamon realise he wasn’t half as
interested in the story as some of the other men in the room.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Date or
conception?” Gene said.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Gene,” Eamon
sigh over the name, getting over the tight-lipped they had, and finally they
were getting to the story, if only they’d actually fucking start. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Conception it is
then,” he smiled, but Eamon could see the look, that moment he needed to make
sure Eamon wasn’t mad at him. It was one of the weirder side effects of him
being, well, whatever he was to these men. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Gene puffed out a
huge breath, “Well if I remember correct, Colin and I were in my family’s
basement—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“It didn’t start
there,” Kyle cut in. “Though Gene’s family’s house <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">did</i> have a fucking basement, which was awesome and all ours. We had
a flat screen, Foxtel, PlayStation, lounges, and a mini fridge.” He listened
off almost </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“If it didn’t
start there, where did it start?” Eamon asked, holding onto his patients, he
could wait out the best of them, but it was becoming a struggle, maybe he
should have just tied Chris up, and asked him, at least then Eamon would know
he’d get what he wanted, especially if he rewarded answers with a firm downward
strike of Chris’ favourite flogger. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“With James,” the
boys said from the main group, turning everyone’s head to the man in question.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Well I it
actually started with Adam,” James said calmly. out of everyone in this house,
James was much more like Eamon then even he thought, just because he didn’t
classify himself a dom like Eamon had been for years, he definitely was an
alpha to the point of, if he put on leather and started bossing people around
no one would question his right to do that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Huh?” that came
from Adam, apparently as in the dark with that as the rest of them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">James smiled, but
seemed to kindly ignore the other man. “You see Adam and me were the same. We
had always had the answer never the question type, but unlike Adam it didn’t
scared the shit out of me when I finally understood the questions I that went
with it. One day Adam said something to me, and it had me realising I could
help him, so I came out to the group.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“You did that for
me?” Adam asked a little teary. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“’Course, mate,
that’s what friends are for.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Anyway…” Gene
went on, breaking up the softness of the mood. “Colin and I were in the
basement,” he repeated—very clearly repeating himself. “We were watching, God,
some form of porn, and well, like all males do, we thought, well… why not.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“You see,” Colin
put in, as if he needed to explain, which Eamon found funny, considering the
group he was talking to. “Justin told us he was gay and so we had these moment
of… I don’t know, wanting to understand our mate, so it wasn’t that far a
stretch to try that out with a mutual hand job.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Gene laughed. “I
like how you felt that needed explaining.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Fuck ya,” Colin
chuckled. “Anyway there we were getting off in the niceness of each other hands
when James came trampling down the stairs.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Oh, man, you
heaps better at telling a story then me,” Gene said a smile on your face.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Who’d have
thought?” Kyle quipped. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Fuck off, man, I
can open my mouth and words come out, don’t mean I can tell a fucking story.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“So…” Colin
looked pointedly at Gene, “Down comes James, and if I’m remember right, both
Gene and I freeze. Our hands on each other cock, the soft moans coming from the
telly we’d been looking at, maybe not seeing, but definitely trying not to
notice what we were doing, or how fucking right it felt.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“James paused, I
believe,” Colin looked at James who shrugged, apparently, this was becoming a
story of a memory, which was fine by Eamon, sometimes things told this way
revealed so much more. Hell, it was a great way to learn truths. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Yeah, he did, it
was pretty dramatic,” Gene said with a massive smile. “then the bastard walked
casually over to the second lounge, moved the fucking thing around so it was
facing us, sat, raised an eyebrow it that arsehole manner of his, then motioned
us to continue as he put his hands behind his head and settled in.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“And of course we
did,” Colin said his eyes looking into a distance they weren’t privy to, a past
that seemed to have been a happy memory. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Then you all
started fucking.” Tim said into the middle of it all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Colin laughed.
“No. we jacked off, came, and then went on as if nothing had fucking happened.
In all honesty it took me the longest to come to turns with the fact that I was
gay.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“What?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“I fought it the
hardest. The next time we were bored and pulled out the porn was, I believe a
week later, and it started again, only this time James started rubbing at
Gene’s crouch, and the man went fucking wild.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“It was fucking
hot.” James nodded.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“He went quickly,
yelling something about only wanting a man’s touch from then on, and that
snapped Adam out of, whatever it was he feared.” Colin ended simply.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">

Adam said before the quite even registered. “I was on my knees sucking James
off.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“And the time
after that Colin was suggesting James fuck him,” Kyle laughed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Oh, man it was
hot,” Chris moaned, his hips shifting forward. “Then I wanted a turn, luckily
we were all fucking young and James can fuck like a fucking machine—hey!” he
jumped forward rubbing at his side as he narrowed his eyes at Eamon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Eamon gave a pointed
look, “What he can.” Eamon growled, there was no way he was able to keep his
jealousy under wrapped, and it was as the first sound came out that Eamon saw
the challenge in Chris eyes. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“So what happened
after that?” Tim asked, pulling Eamon out of his staring match with Chris, one
that was most likely challenged to get Eamon to pick Chris up and take him off
to punish, but what Chris like to forget, he wasn’t an evening dom, and he
definitely wasn’t going to let his sub call the shots.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Well we it took
a bit but we all got into it eventually, but like I said, I would dunk my dick
but I hadn’t called myself gay until we started to see the bruises on Chris’
body.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The boys settled,
the mood turning serious. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Kinda hard to
hide when we spend a big fucking deal of our afternoons naked together.” Gene
tried to lighten it, and though it didn’t fall flat, it still didn’t lighten it
that long. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“So we had to
make a decision. The other guys at school were started to give to get loud,
parents were starting to notice.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“So, wait,” Tim
said sitting up. “When did you guys become werewolves?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Oh, that
happened, what maybe a weekend of so before we started wanking each other off,”
Gene told them all. “Matt happened just before the orgies started,” he laughed.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Then what
happened boy,” Eamon asked, getting to the information they truly needed to
talk about. Even if this time it was only the facts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">James sighed, “We
decided we needed to do something. Not only did we fear for Chris’ life, even
though he kept telling us it was nothing. The rest of us were getting backlash
from our parents, and my parents were starting to threaten to come home and
straighten him out.” he laughed, it wasn’t a nice sound to hear. “I’m not even
sure they came home when I didn’t.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“When Adam rocked
up to our house, bleeding and hurt, we made up our minds, grabbed what we
needed, and left.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“So none of you
actually kicked out.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Nope,” they all
said together.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“But you all fear
that either were going to be or you lives would have been at risk.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Probably not
mine,” James put in, “but that’s beside the point. We left because we had no
other fucking choice.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“And where did
you go?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“I have money,
man, lot of it. If I were to look I’d put money on then still putting money in
my account, paying me off for fucking off,” he sounded bitter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“We couldn’t get
a house though,” Colin said, “that came from one man needing some manual labour
and finding a bunch of kids he was willing to take a chance with.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“How old were you
all?” Eamon asked, his arms already settling around Chris the moment they spoke
of his boy being put in harm’s way. He knew this before this moment that home
life hadn’t been the funest for Chris, but he still didn’t like hearing about
it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Sixteen.” </span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Now, do you want to learn
about me, or the story in general? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I am a nearly 30 year old
mother of two, I live in Australia and mostly I love to tell stories, and as
this year had moved on, I believe my ability to do that has become stronger.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I love writing, even when
the storyline gets on my nerves. When they are fighting me, when they are
loving on me. When they are making me cringe, or cry, or hate there sweet
little arses.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I started writing this
series, mostly because at the time I was reading a lot of paranormal and it got
to a point that I was wondering if I had those elements would I do it the same
way? So, I decided to give it a shot, and this series came from that idea. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I hope I answered, or at
least gave some insight into me, but if you want to learn more please come to
my blog, like me on facebook—hell, friend me there too. I love to hear from
people, I love to chat, and I’m more than willing to spend a little time
getting to know you as you all get to know me. </span></div>

I've just been watching a comedy show and it reminded me of this lovely phrase.<br />
<br />
Now that's not to say I condone telling lies, in general I'm quite an honest person, but, there are some lies that are necessary to life.<br />
<br />
For example, it is necessary to the lives and genitalia of all men to always answer the question 'does my bum look big in this?' with 'no, don't be silly your gorgeous.' And there should be no pause in answering. Even though if a woman asks this question we know damn well that our arse looks huge, or we wouldn't ask.<br />
<br />
There are lots of little lies like this that we use every day, probably without noticing. Off the top of my head I can think of several and I'm sure you can too.<br />
<br />
However, by far the little white lies, that are the most fun. Are the lies we tell to children. Now if you've read my early posts you'll know I have a son of my own, he's nine now. So I've used most of these of a variation of them.<br />
<br />
For quite some time children will look up at you in wonder and believe just about everything you say.<br />

<br />
Now lets bypass the basics of little lies, when was the last time you a cow go moo? Cow's don't go moo, they make lots of noises, but we teach kids from birth that they say moo.<br />
<br />
But as they get older, the lies get more fun, and you catch yourself using the same lies your parents used on you. Let's think of a few real good ones.<br />
<br />
'If you tell lies to me there will be a black spot on your tongue' (We're such hypocritical bastards) and this works for quite some time they clamp their little lips together just in case we see the<span class="_5yl5" data-reactid=".2w.$mid=11403225833413=2739e32167484fd2f75.2:0.0.0.0.0"><span class="null"> non-existent</span></span> black spot.<br />
<br />
Or the classic, 'if the ice cream van is playing music, it means they've run out of ice cream.' Now this one doesn't last quite as long as others. Because kids do tend to talk, so if you get several kids on a street one of the little monsters, um I mean, darlings. One of them will know the truth and it will spread like wild fire and soon you'll be forced to go and ask the nice ice cream man if he has any.<br />
<br />
The one I had the most fun with, and what follows is a real event that I've used twice so far. But sadly it is coming to the end of it's usability so it will have to be relegated to the 'Embarrassing stories to tell prospective partners list' (Ah blackmailing you children, such fun unless it's against you).<br />
<br />
From about November onwards if your child is being naughty, you can threaten to call Santa! This has been going on for years and I guarantee that if a child believes in Santa they have had the threat of a phone call (or letter if you want to go back far enough) being made to Santa if they don't start behaving.<br />
<br />
In this wonderful modern age we can take things a step a step further. This is what I did. My laptop was on, it often is even when I'm not specifically doing something. My little Monster was refusing to go to bed, and as it was the beginning of December we could use this little gem. I texted a friend and made sure she had access to her computer and phone at the same time, then called her and put Monster on the phone to talk to Mrs Claws, all the while, I was sending her pm's on Facebook of what to say. The look of awe on my child's face that I had The North Poll's number on my phone was amazing. Not only did he go to bed immediately after the phone call, he did so for the rest of the week!<br />
<br />
There are lots of little things like this parents use. I'd love to hear some of yours, mainly to see if I can use them too. :D<br />
<br />
I hope I've braught a smile to your face today, I'll see you next time.<br />

criticism for the vampire in romantic and young adult fiction lately,
especially in the wake of wildly <i>popular </i>titles
like <i id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402583629105_12859">Twilight, The Vampire Dairies, True

very much <i>like </i>vampires to go back to

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">So why do we love vampires in our

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402583629105_12867" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">First off, vampire fiction has been
around since the 1700s. I used to believe vampires started out as your standard
folkloric creature features: evil nosferatu, ugly killers like red caps or
swamp creatures. Something you'd <i>never </i>want
in your bed, pressing up against your naked skin. Horrifying, not tragically
beautiful.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402583629105_12871" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Actually,
though, vampires have <i>always </i>been
associated with sensuality and eroticism. From the earliest vampire poetry to
ghost stories to early homoerotic and lesbian fiction, mainstream vampire works
have made erotic entanglement a strong motif. Your modern day </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Angels,
Spikes, Erics and Edwards aren't really deviations from a horrifying
monster-movie norm; it's actually the nosferatu, <i>30 Days of Night</i>, <i>99 Coffins </i>vamps
who are the deviants.</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402583629105_12876" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Not to say the horrifying vamp is a bad
vamp. I happen to love the creatures from <i id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402583629105_12875">30

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">A lot of the early vampire poetry told
tales of lovers coming back from the grave for their beloveds, drawn to them
beyond death. Most also hinge, of course, on the vampire's need for human
blood—a symbol of one's very life. These elements stage a darkly romantic scene
already: the defiance of death, the sacrifice of one's own life, for your
lover. Implicit in these exchanges is a dark intimacy: secret reunions in the
dead of night, a partner requiring your surrender <i>and </i>your protection from the waking world, the exchange of vital
fluids. Think of somewhere on the landscape of human flesh where the touch of a
person's lips and teeth would <i>not </i>be
sexy. Even if you can name one for yourself, I'll bed money I'll find another
person who will swear it’s the sexiest place they can imagine being bitten or
licked.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Poems of this nature include <i>The Vampyre</i> (1748) and <i>Lenore </i>(1773), and are notable for
incorporating erotic overtones in romantic reunions of the living and the dead.

Stoker's <i>Dracula </i>(1897) probably

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Vampires have been seducers and eerie
romantic figures from the beginning. There's obviously a danger to them, a
mysterious horror and an otherworldly, unnatural machination behind their
immortality. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">That</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">,
of course, </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">only</span><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1402583629105_12881" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">
makes them <i>more </i>alluring. As immortals,
they usually represent eternal youth and beauty, so they are often incredibly
attractive. They present a mystery, things unknown, so they are interesting. They
represent the dual appeal of being vulnerable (they need a human's most
intimate and vital gift to survive) and exceedingly powerful (they've conquered
the grave).<span> </span>They are wildly
counter-culture to everything repressive: they encourage sensuality, defiance,
primal knowledge, and surrender to our most basic drives. But at the same time
they are intelligent, more worldly, and sophisticated. Centuries of life will
do </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">that</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> to a person. It

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">My
point is that Edward Cullen, while not a good fictional character by any means,
hasn't ruined vampire fiction. Neither did Gary Oldman or Tom Cruise bastardize
the genre by turning vampires into sensual, tortured monsters.<span> </span>Vampires have always <i>been </i>sensual, tortured monsters. Some do it well and some do it
poorly; some are incredibly over the top (really? 180 degrees?), and some are
weak, watered down sparklers.<span> </span>Vampires,
however, <i>started </i>the craze for
paranormal erotic romance. They aren't <i>just
</i>staples of the genre: they are the original supernatural seducers. So don't
expect them to be fading away anytime soon.</span></div>

It seams to be ever growing, it's almost like the plot bunny's are breading like, well like bunny's :D<br />
<br />
I will be adding a new page with the list on so I can update how I'm doing. (have you seen my links page?) <br />
<br />
But first I wanted to apologise for not updating on Saturday. I've been waiting to have an operation and was called on Thursday to say I could come in on Monday. So right this moment I'm sitting in a hospital bed. I get to go home tonight though.<br />
<br />
My very darling hubby brought me my laptop last night so I could keep myself from going totally crazy. Now back to my to do list. <br />
<br />
I have two to do lists, one for fanfiction which I won't go into because it's damn scary. And my original work list.<br />
<br />
I'll give you the list first then tell you more about some them.<br />
<br />
A Dirty Weekend<br />
A Lesson in Love <br />
Kismet<br />
Out of Uniform and into Love<br />
Moon Bound<br />
Shadow Lands<br />
Stranded and Secduced<br />
The Castle of Lost Souls<br />
The Hunters<br />
The Lightson Dynasty <br />
Writers Block<br />
<br />
<br />
See I told you it was scary. They are in order of how they are saved not how I'm working on them. <br />
<br />
The Lightson Dynasty is technically a cheat because it's has been finished and sent to my editor, I'm in-box stalking at the moment waiting for a response, just like I talked about in my last post.<br />
<br />
(Pause for intermission.... It's now the next day and I'm home from hospital, thank heavens)<br />
<br />
<br />
All of the stories have been started and in some cases nearly finished. Out of Uniform and into Love is nearly ready to be sent off it needs a final read over to fix the little things I missed while I wrote it. And 'A Dirty Weekend' is finished but I need to type it.<br />
<br />
<br />
The rest, well they are all WIP's that I'm desperately trying to find enough time to work on. unfortunately for me I can't write just one story at a time, my brain can't concentrate on just one thing. <br />
<br />
There are three that are currently fighting for dominance.<br />
<br />
Moon Bound (it's a working title) which is the sequel to Red on the Moon and tells the story of Lucas' youngest brother quest to find his own longed for mate and continues a few weeks after the end of Red on the Moon. But nothing can be so easy, there are twists and turns and homicidal ex wives to get in the way.<br />
<br />
Writer's Block. This story is only a few thousand words long so far. As yet I'm not sure where it's going to go. The main character is a writer, (yes I know you got that from the title.) who takes his dog out for a walk desperately searching for inspiration to a new book. He finds and rescues a run away little boy, and feels an instant connection with his father, who's trapped in a loveless marriage.<br />
<br />
The Castle of Lost Souls (again a working title) This story, just has a very basic premise, which is worrying considering the deadline is very fast approaching. A group of friends are going camping in the Welsh hills. They find and get trapped in a castle's built into the very mountain itself. <br />
<br />
So you see my to do list is evil, it's constantly pestering me to work on something and having far to many options. But I will get there, eventualy.<br />
<br />
Do you have a to do list, or are you good and finish what you start?<br />
<br />

<br />
I promised on Saturday that I'd let you know what I've been up to with my writing.<br />
<br />
My to do list is still crazy. I'm going to post an extra page with what I have on my list for you all you see.<br />
<br />
But I have managed to finished two things, both of which are being sent off this week for submission. I don't think I'll ever get to the point where I'm not excited about doing this, and if I do I should probably stop writing.<br />
<br />
I don't know how things are for other writers but this is a break down of what happens after I hit the magic send button.<br />
<br />I hit Send.<br />
<br />
From there I'll probably wait half an hour to see if I get a response from my editor, if I don't I'll send a message to let her know I've sent the email.<br />
<br />
For the next two weeks or how ever long until a response hits my in-box I'll check my email or messages at least every hour. I've even been known to wake up in the middle of the night to check again.<br />
<br />
I do realise how obsessive this makes me sound. But it's so much fun!!!<br />
<br />
As this post is far shorter than I'd like it to be I'm going to add another entry on Thursday this week to talk about my to do list before I make it a separate page to go with my links page.<br />
<br />
In the mean time I'm always open to your thoughts and sugestions, just leave me a little comment below and I will respond to each and every one.<br />

<br />
<br />
I've been having a chat with a few other blogers, I felt I needed advice to keep things interesting and just generally how do to this right.<br />
<br />
Here's what I've come up with, and I'd love to know your thoughts. Firstly I'm going to be posting twice a week from now on. Every Tuesday and Saturday, I'll try to alternate between a serious one and a fun one. Until I fully get the hang of things the posts might be a little short, but, they will get longer.<br />
<br />
I've also updated my cover and profile picture. So now it looks much less generic. I've made a great start I think. But what I need is feedback. What do you think could make this place better, what would you like to see?<br />
<br />
Well that's that bit done, now on to the main part of today's blog.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago I did something I'd been told I should never do, I read reviews of my last book Red on the Moon. I've been so used to writing fan-fiction and getting reviews to each chapter direct to my email. They weren't always good, but more often than no they at least pointed out what they liked about what they were reading, or to let me know where I'd made mistakes. (I do make them more often than I'd like.)<br />
<br />
Most of the reviews were supportive and enjoyed the story. One however stood out. It felt more like a personal attack than an honest review of something they've read. The reviewer seamed to find something bad to say about every aspect. But the thing that actually managed to upset me was when they said that I should get an editor. Well I do have an editor and she works very hard to help me.<br />
<br />
I've loved to write all my life, creating stories. However, I do have problems. My brain betrays me. I'm classed as severely dyslexic, it effects my concentration my spelling my reading and my mathematics. (you should see all of this before I run spell checker, it's full of red lines.) Every time I finish writing something, even if I never show it to anyone, I feel a scene of achievement. I'm not saying that my mistakes should be instantly forgiven. By all means point out when I make them, but, there is a way to say things so as not to be so hateful.<br />
<br />
I'm lucky, I'm a stubborn old cow. When I set my mind to something I will keep doing it, even just for my own sake, even if I'd never been published I'd keep on writing. But something dyslexia does that people don't often talk about, is it robs you of is self confidence, I'm constantly surprised when someone tells me they like my work.<br />
<br />
There are so many bright young writers out there who lack the confidence to try for fear of rejection and failure. It is so easy to listen to the one bad comment rather than the many good ones. There is much better education nowadays when it comes to dyslexia. Teachers are trained to teach in a way that a brain that thinks sideways needs to learn. But no one thinks to tell children that, 'It can be done, you will get there.' and they need to hear that. it breaks my heart to think of people not trying because they haven't had the encouragement and help to achieve their dreams.<br />
<br />
I don't know this is true of all writers, but it is true of many. We live for people to read and enjoy our work, we constantly want to get better. So please do tell us what you think, the good and the bad, but do it in a constructive way. Even if a book isn't to your taist, someone, has spend a hell of a lot of time and put a lot of themselves into the writing of what you just read. Spent sleepless nights waiting to hear from publishers, enduring rejections, struggling with edits. Writing a book is not easy, it is a labour of love and we wouldn't have it any other way.<br />
<br />
It's taken me a few week after reading that review to get back to actually being able to write again. I have managed it in the last few days, and on Tuesday, I'll tell you all about it.<br />
<br />

<br />
Last November I lost my job, do you remember the one I was telling you about? working 80+ hours every week but I loved it. Well I lost the job, it came to the end of my six month probation and they let me go. Which sucked, in a big and not fun way.<br />
<br />
But, In February, I found a new job. I'm really like this new company and I think I'm going to be here a long time.<br />
<br />
It's taken me a few months to pull myself out of the slump I was in, to feel secure in this new place. But I'm really getting there.<br />
<br />
Idea's are starting to pop into my head and light fire's. I'm getting them written down, (I have far too many notebooks)<br />
<br />
I have some cool news before I sign off for now (I will be posting far more often) Red on the Moon went up to 14th on the best sellers list on Allromanceebooks.com. I've been beyond amazing. I still grin like a Cheshire cat on happy pills when I think about it.<br />
<br />
And just last Thursday I was interviewed on the WOE radio. I had an absolute blast. It was so much fun!!<br />

Well for now I'm going to go. It's rapidly approaching midnight and i want to write for an hour before I go to sleep. I will be back soon, I promise. <br />
