Today’s ten line Tuesday is from the story I’m editingand hoping to get out in the publishing world some time this year.

Under His Cover

“Where are you taking me?”

“Right here,” he said, and turned her around into a hidden alcove just off the lobby. All sound, except her breathing and his, evaporated. She was enveloped by his nearness, his musky smell, the sheer depth of him.

Rhys eased her back against the wall and placed his knee between her legs. She was almost positive he could feel the wetness that coated her panties. Her need for something hard stroking her clit became unbearable, but she resisted the urge to grind her pussy against his thigh. “W-what are you doing?”

“Well, you said you were the flavor of the night. I thought it was about time I got a taste.”

When his lips and tongue made contact with her skin, she almost melted to the floor. She gripped his arms and held on as he devoured her shoulder and her neck.

Love, peace and sex!

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 | Movie Monday | 1 Comment

There’s is just nothing good out there that I want to see. The last movie I saw…I guess a couple of weeks ago, was Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocal and it was excellent! I really enjoyed. I love a good action flick. Tom Cruise was back in Ethan Hunt rare form. There are a couple of movies that I want to see this month, One For The Money and Man on a Ledge. They both come out on the same Friday though, so I’ll have to decide which one I want to see first.

                                                          

 

A movie that I’m truly truly anticipating is The Hunger Games. I absolutely loved reading that series and can’t wait to see how they play it out on the big screen. I for one know that it won’t be exactly like the movie, there are some things you just can’t put in film. My only expectation is that I expect it to be awesome!!!

What about you? Are you a movie buff? Any movies you’re looking forward to seeing this year?

Peace, love and sex!

Gotta get through it….

What is she talking about you might be wondering. I’m thinking about a writers life and goals and everything in between. I’m not lucky enough to be a full time writer…one day I hope. So, I have to get through everything else in my life to find time to write. Husband, children, children’s activities, my other career, house, home…etc. I have to get through ALL of that to find time to write, to promote, and socialize with my readers and other writers. It’s a must if I eventually want to become that full-time writer.

To do it all, I have to set goals. I talked about goals last Sunday too. But if I don’t set goals, write them down and constantly refer back to them, I’ll never get anything done or accomplished. I belive I’ve set some realistic goals for myself this year…yes, this year! However, I’m taking them day by day, week by week so I don’t overwhelm myself.

So, if you’re a writer, do you set goals for yourself and how often? If you’re a reader, what kind of personal goals do you set for yourself?

Peace, love and sex!

Lyric James has self-published her first story!

Yes! I’ve joined thousands (millions?) of other authors in the self-publishing world. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while after hearsing so many success stories. It’s a short little erotic romance that will be part of a 4-book series around a woman who invites several friends to the beach for a house party. The first book in the Beach House Nights series is called Lover’s Revenge. Here’s the blurby bit…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lover’s Revenge

Beach House Nights Book One

Throwing a summer party at the beach house she inherited from her grandmother is just what Dayna needs to take her mind off her two-timing ex. After his best friend arrives to check up on her she realizes her desire may have been focused on the wrong friend. When they share a late night walk on the beach, it’s clear he shares her lust. Now, Dayna is determined to take advantage of their mutual attraction. What’s a little revenge sex among friends?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After they’d sat for a while in silence, he said, “I’m sorry about what happened, Dayna.”

She crossed and then uncrossed her arms around her knees. She didn’t want to talk about him. “Why are you apologizing for something you didn’t do?”

Jared came up, picked up a rock, and tossed it into the ocean. “He was—is—my friend. What he did… You didn’t deserve that.”

Dayna stood and walked into the water, slicing her leg through the cool liquid and said, “Forget about it.”

“If I was lucky enough to have someone like you, I’d never fuck that up.”

That gave Dayna the opening she was looking for. She turned to face him. “And if you had me, say, for one night, what would you do with me?”

Even in the darkness, she saw his irises flair and smolder. He was up in one fluid motion and came toward her, splashing water on her legs as he did. Jared didn’t touch her, but his nearness caused heated desire to slither down her spine. “I would worship every inch of your body. When I was done, you’d know you were the only woman in my life and no other could ever take your place.”

Here goes nothing. “They why don’t you? Have me for one night.”

Jared moved closer until their toes touched in the water. The look he gave her could cause a lustful and lethal combustion. “Don’t say it if you don’t mean it.”

Dayna reached out, touched his chest, and willed the butterflies zinging around in her stomach to settle. She stroked him right above the slit before the buttons began, moving her finger in a slow, sensuous circle. What she wanted to do was tease him, tempt him, but instead she struggled for breath as her skin connected with his. Every cell in her body blistered with unbridled need. “Who says I don’t?”

It’s available at Amazon, Smashwords and ARe and it’s only 99cents! I hope you enjoy it.

Peace, love, and sex!

Today’s post is about goals. Yeah..goals. All writers need them.

I whipped out some January – April goals at the beginning of the year which include editing, beginning and completing 5 stories. Phew…sounds monumental now that I think about it and look at those goals again. The one that I plan to self-publish is already completed and hopefully by the end of the month will be live for purchase! It’s been edited, I’m deciding on cover art for it and the 2nd story in the series and I already have someone in line to format it for me because I have no clue and don’t want one. LOL

This weeks goals to complete by next Sunday include:

  1. Finish plotting Phoenix #2
  2. Edit at least 100 pages of Under His Cover
  3. Write 5K (new words) for And Then Some.
  4. Complete everything necessary (editing, cover art, formatting) to self-pub Lover’s Revenge.

Lot’s to do this week and I must complete this all around, 2 kid basketball games, 1 kid practice, a PTA meeting, work and other family obligations.

Wish me luck!

Peace, love and sex!

Friday, December 30th, 2011 | Book Pimpage, Writing | No Comments

I’m hijacking “review day” Friday to tell you about MY new release…Phoenix Kiss that was released today from Elloras Cave! I’m so excited. This is this the first, but not last, paranormal shifter I’ve ever writen and it was so much fun to write. I think this story sat on my zip drive for at least a year and half before I final buckled down this summer and completed, submitted it and sold it!

Here’s the official blurb…

Layla Martin makes her living exposing all the wicked little secrets of the rich and famous. Exposing Jordan Gaines, the mysterious millionaire, is exactly the break she needs.

Jordan has spent his entire life protecting a dark secret—he’s a phoenix shapeshifter, one of the last of his kind. When he finds Layla hiding in his home after he shifts, he offers her a deal—he won’t call the police if she spends one night in his bed.

Layla believes she’s stumbled onto the story of a lifetime. Jordan thinks sleeping with Layla will discredit any exposé she plans to write. Neither expects the hours of unrelenting, primitive passion, the fast bond that forms between them or their fierce desire to keep the night from coming to an end.

And an excerpt….

Again when she touched him, it was as if a magnetic sexual current washed over him in waves. Her touch got him hard every time her hand moved over his skin? He’d known the woman all of five minutes. This wasn’t possible.

“Give me one good reason.” His eyes trained on her mouth, noticed that even without the adornment of lipstick, it was a juicy red. When her tongue slid over her lips again, he tracked the movement and instinctively wished her tongue were washing over his dick instead.

“I…I wanted to…wanted to…”

He hung up the phone and faced her. “I know what the Tattler publishes. What did you expect to find when you broke into my home? Me, involved in some type of sex fetish or BDSM games?”

Even in the dim light, he saw a flush coat her cheeks before she lowered her head.

Jordan laughed as he moved around her and strode to the chest of drawers in the right corner of his room. “But that’s not what you found, is it? Now you have something much more and you expect me to let you walk out of my house and tell the world what I am?”

He opened the top drawer, pulled out a pair of soft and worn cotton pajama pants. “But if I call the police, tell them I caught you in my house and they arrest you, how credible will your story be then?”

She looked up and frowned and began to twist and twine the poor little black shirt all over again.

“They’ll assume you’re either a stalker or one of the many reporters I’ve spurned over the years out for revenge.”

Not that each and every one of them didn’t deserve it. After his guardian was ruined because of one simple byline, one slipup, he knew he’d never put himself in the same position. He’d never expected one of them to be so bold as to break into his home.

Now he had to do some damage control. That’s what he paid a publicist for but even she couldn’t get him out of this shit. No, he’d have to take care of this little scandal all by himself.

“What will your editor say to you? What will he ask?” He pretended to ponder this. “Where’s your proof? Did you get a picture? Did I admit it? Your answer to all those questions will be a resounding…” He paused for effect. Her brow began to narrow and her lips pursed. “No.”

“But I know what I saw,” she whispered.

“That may be so but you have no proof, Layla,” he said quietly before stepping in front of her again, towering over her small, voluptuous frame. “Your word against mine? You know who I am? You’re going to tell the world that I’m a shapeshifting phoenix, with absolutely not one shred of proof?” He shook his head. “I don’t think so.”

Jordan reached up and caressed her from just below her ear, around her cheek to her pouting lip. Her tongue darted out to lick him and she gasped, stepping back, her eyes widening with disbelief.

Right then and there, he knew exactly how he was going to play this little game with Ms. Layla Martin. He advanced on her again but when she stepped away, the backs of her legs met his bed.

Although he hadn’t seen a wedding ring on her finger, he asked anyway. “Are you married?” Not that he gave a damn. But he might as well get it out of the way.

“No,” she said, shaking her head back and forth as she took short, shallow breaths. Her voice was low and slightly husky and so damn sexy it made his dick jump.

He could see her pulse thumping in her throat. Being this close to him unnerved her. Her body caused every wicked thought he could conjure to roam around his brain. She was a very beautiful woman, after all. Even though she was dressed completely in black, he could still appreciate her generous curves, the luscious breasts, the very round bottom he’d cupped earlier. One very decadent, sexy package.

His fingers tingled with the desire to remove the band from around the ponytail she wore and slide through her thick hair before he gripped the back of her head and moved his mouth over hers.

But that was impossible.
