Summer – The Time to Write
When the year slows down is my time. I love the summer. Okay, I’ll grant you, I’m not a big one for hot weather. 72 and sunny with a few clouds is my perfect time. 100 degrees isn’t my idea of fun, but…the rest of the world is slowing down a bit. I can handle that.

4_Bic_Cristal_pens_and_caps 1 (2)Why? Because I can get the stuff I need to finish done. Like what, you might ask? Well, the stories that are sitting right there, staring at me and begging to be finished. I have this tendency to have a story that’s ready to go, but I don’t have the time to write it. I let it sit and percolate for a while. Usually, when the time comes to start it (or the deadline is that close), I get a burst of energy to finish.

During the summer, I can have those bursts uninterrupted. It’s wonderful. No one pestering me to clean up this or to finish working on that. I can use my time as I see fit. I’ve been able to tackle a longer work that’s been staring at me. I love it. I’ve been able to immerse myself in the characters (have I mentioned they are hot? Yeah, they are.) and get to know exactly what I want to do with them. It’s great.

What about you? What is your favorite part of the summer? Anything you like to do during the warmer months? Let me know. Maybe we can trade notes and I’ll try something new. Grin.

meagan slayerGet your rocks off however you want at Club Desire. We’re not easy and we’re not free, but we are discreet. Find your fantasy in the Club.

An actor with a mega-sized ego? Check. The role of a lifetime playing a submissive in a major motion picture? Check. A Dom with unlimited patience? There could be a problem with explosive results.

Dylan Tyler isn’t used to being told no. He’s the hottest actor in Hollywood with a long list of films to his credit. His specialty includes taking risks for his roles and immersing himself in the characters. He’s about to portray a submissive for his latest flick—except he knows nothing about the lifestyle. He’s at Club Desire to learn, but the line between performance art and life is blurring fast.

Ansen Moran knew from the beginning that Dylan wasn’t a typical client, but he’s the only Dom willing to tame the actor’s larger-than-life personality. He’s also not fond of actors. Ansen has his heart guarded from Dylan’s charms, but even the best laid plans blow up when emotions take control.

Dylan’s got one shot to learn from the best. Will he manage to please his Dom and realize the role of his life or lose everything in the process?

About the Author:When she’s not writing the stories in her head, Megan Slayer can be found luxuriating in her hot tub with her two vampire Cabana boys, Luke and Jeremy. She has the tendency to run a tad too far with her muse, so she has to hide in the head of her alter ego, but the boys don’t seem to mind.

When she’s not obsessing over her whip collection, she can be found picking up her kidlet from school. She enjoys writing in all genres, but writing about men in love suits her fancy best. The cabana boys are willing to serve, unless she needs them. She always need them. So be nice to Javier or he will bite–on command.

She also masquerades under the name Wendi Zwaduk and is published through Ellora’s Cave, Changeling Press, Decadent Publishing , Liquid Silver Books, MLR Press, Resplendence Publishing, and Total-E-Bound Publishing.

Summer in the Okanagan

I live in the Okanagan Valley, and summer up here is spectacular. The days are long and warm and the rivers are sparkling clear and just daring you not to come on in for a swim. We have numerous beaches – all of them free and three of them within walking distance of my house.

Anne Kane kayaking with Sassi (2)I live a block from the Shuswap River and love to drag the kayak down there in the early morning to go for a paddle. The dog comes with me – she loves to kayak as well. Sometimes, especially if it’s really hot out, she’ll walk to the very front tip of the kayak and jump in for a swim. She jumps from there because she knows I can’t reach her to stop her. She’s a smart little brat! When she’s had enough, she dog paddles over to the side of the cockpit and lets me pull her back into the kayak. Dripping wet. Into my lap. I don’t think I’ve ever managed to go for a paddle without getting at least slightly soggy.

One of my favorite places to paddle is a secluded little lake that is only accessible by kayak or canoe. You go through a marshy swamp, then paddle under a very old railway bridge. The bridge is low, narrow and the water under it is only a foot or so deep at the best of times. In late August, even the kayak is scraping bottom. Motor boats can’t manage it no matter what the water level. On the other side of the bridge is more marsh. You paddle through it for just a few minutes, and then the waterway opens up into a pristine lake that is just brimming with wildlife. I’ve seen deer, moose, otters, beaver and more types of birds than I can count. There’s bald eagles, at least three types of hawks, blue herons standing on their stilt-like legs and ducks. Lots of ducks. And geese. And even a few trumpeter swans, although they tend to prefer the river. I actually bought a waterproof camera (not cheap!) just so I could photograph all the amazing wildlife.

When I’m too lazy, (or it’s too hot to move) I hide in the gazebo my son built for me in my back yard. A nice cold drink, my laptop, the pets at my feet, and I’m a happy author. I can write to my heart’s content. Summer in the Okanagan is truly an amazing time of year!

anne kane hercyborglover_msr (2)“Natalie’s loved and lost and she’s not so sure she wants to risk her heart again. She’s willing to settle for a challenging career as a space-pilot instructor and a succession of no-strings attached lovers. But that’s before her boss saddles her with the last thing she wants—a new partner.

Jebediah recognizes his perfect match in Natalie from the moment she seduces him on a dare. Everything that makes her a top-notch pilot, from her fearlessness to her passion, make a night in her bed both challenging and unforgettable. Too bad she cuts Jebediah off the moment they’re assigned to a mission in the outer limits of Alliance space.

A dangerous confrontation with a brutal enemy, an exploding drive engine and a traitor close to home throw everything into perspective. Natalie is going to have to put the past behind her and risk it all, because when your partner is also your lover, failure is not an option.

Summer’s No Time to Take Off from Writing

Many folks think summer’s a time to take a break from writing. Frankly, I find it one of the best times to write, and I think my fellow writers who are just as much people watchers as I am would agree. Heat, passion, romance, sweat, the thrill of the chase, the fun of the catch—they’re all in the hot and humid summertime air. People are out and about, day and night, during the summer, which grants us extra time to spy them in a myriad of settings going about a host of activities. The young people on the beach, laughing and joking around the bonfire. The old couple, walking hand-in-hand down the beach. The newlyweds, window shopping in the quaint downtown for their new place. The waitress, racing to her community college class so she can fulfill her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. The two teachers, off for the summer, driving to Cape Hatteras with their three kids in the back seat. The mundane, the everyday, the normal—the glory and the wonder and the majesty of life’s little moments. And there we are, writers, the chroniclers of the hum and the drum of the beat of that little daily game we call existence. We stand ready to record it all in our memory, then commit it to paper and screen, mold it, twist it, turn it, shape it into something with a message, a theme, a story to tell, a portrait to paint on the canvas of the reader’s mind, all the while bright and beautiful summer providing the palette. Imagine the crime of taking a break from all of that.

AsherJamesGlennGreggIn Asher, James, Glenn and Gregg by Penn E. Loaffer, four SoCal friends (a transplanted Colorado cowboy, two San Diego natives, and a Brit who proves that not all English are “proper”) spend the summer before their senior year at UCSD falling in love and going to parties and learning that revenge is a dish served cold.

This scene takes place at the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department annual summer picnic.

An impromptu softball game had started, and Ben could see that both their kids, Gina and Tom, were playing. He could also see that the division chiefs were supervising.

“Wait here,” Elena said, walking over to the softball diamond. Ben watched the sway of her lush hips while trying to calm his mind. An uncomfortable silence fell between the two men as she talked with a couple of the parents.

She came back and reported, “We’re golden for at least two hours. Detective Ramos and her husband said that they’d watch the kids until four.” She looked from face to face, grinning. “So how about it?”

Ben shifted from one foot to the other. The idea of sharing Elena still bothered him, but this was Jake, who’d been his friend for years. They’d partnered when Polly was alive—after she’d been shot, Ben had taken a leave of absence and Jake had been reassigned. Otherwise they’d still be partners, he reckoned. They’d always gotten along. But they’d never shared the same woman. The closest they’d come to something like that was going to the same titty bar.

He eyed Jake, then Elena. They wore identical shit-eating grins.

“Okay, I guess. What do we do first?”

“My house is closest,” Elena said, laughing. She bounced across the lawn to Jake’s car, hips swinging, tits jumping, hair flying. Sexual energy jumped off her like popcorn in a microwave.

The men followed at a slower pace. Jake asked Ben, “Does she happen to be on the Pill?”

“Oh, yeah. Nothing to worry about.”

Jake closed his eyes and looked ecstatic. “Have I died and gone to heaven?”

Ben laughed. “Maybe. Uh, by the way, I know you see a lot of women… Have you been tested lately?”

“Oh, for sure. I test regularly. Nothing to worry about over here.”

After opening the passenger side door for Elena, Jake jumped into the driver’s seat without bothering to open the driver’s door of the convertible. He peeled out of the parking lot with a screech of tires. Ben slouched in the back seat. “Jeez, keep it quieter. Do you want the entire sheriff’s department knowing what we’re doing?”

“Who cares?” Elena asked breezily.

“If anything, they’re envious. What would you rather be doing—playing softball or fucking the sexiest woman in Sacramento?” Jake asked.

Elena grinned at Jake, acknowledging the compliment, then turned to shift her attention to Ben. “I’m gonna bang your brains out, big boy. You’re gonna regret you ever broke up with me, and one other thing…” She leaned closer. “You’re never gonna do it again.”

Ben felt his eyes widen. This sounded dangerously close to commitment.

She leaned back. “Not until I say so. It ain’t over until I say it’s over. Get the picture?”

Jake whistled through his teeth as he parked outside Elena’s cottage. “The lady’s getting feisty.”

She got out of the car and Ben quickly followed, taking the opportunity to slap Elena’s rump. “Yeah, and I know just what to do about that.”

She giggled as she ran up the path, jumped over the stairs to the porch and unlocked the door.
Inside, the cottage was unlit and dim. Ben grabbed her and hustled her into her bedroom while Jake followed. Once there, both men started ripping at her clothes. Jake knelt to unbutton her denim shorts while Ben pulled her tie-dyed T-shirt over her head, revealing a leopard-print bra. He deftly unsnapped the center catch, and her breasts bounced free. Her big, dark areolas crinkled in the cottage’s cooler air, the nipples pointing.

He tumbled her onto the bed and nested his face between her lush mounds, feeling as though he’d been away from home for a long, long time. Too damn long, and at that moment he knew with certainty that he had to do something…anything…everything to keep Elena in his life.

suz EC Gypsy Witch (2)The Sacramento Sheriff’s Department is no place for airy-fairy wimps, and Ben McCullough is the toughest of the tough. He tells himself he’s bedding luscious Elena Lautari only because she’s a babe, not because she’s a card-carrying member of the Northern California Church of Wicca. Ben thinks she’s a feather away from an arrest for fraud, since she makes a living telling fortunes and making charms for the lovelorn. He can’t see her as a lifelong mate even though she’s more than a match for him in the sack, and losing her is unthinkable.

But Elena is the real deal, a modern witch of much power and even more restraint. When her daughter, Gina, steals her mother’s spell book and uses it to shatter the fabric of existence and release an ancient evil, Elena must put reality back in place—even if she loses Ben in the process.

Will Ben and Elena’s fragile love be lost with the revelation of her magic?

Maybe, but there are others ready to heal her battered heart. When Ben’s partner attempts to claim Elena, will Ben move aside or move in?

Pivot and Slip by Lilah Suzanne – Q&A and Giveaway

August 19, 2014 By 9 Comments

8_19 VBT_PivotAndSlip_Banner

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Lilah will be awarding a $25 Barnes and Noble GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour. A free download of an Interlude Press eBook title or an author/book swag pack (US ONLY) will be awarded to one randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter at each stop during the tour.

Lilah, thanks so much for stopping by. So, why don’t you tell us a little about yourself? How did you get started writing?

I first realized that writing might be something I was good at in the fourth grade when a journal I kept as a school assignment during a family vacation delighted my teacher so much that she made a point of telling my parents to encourage me (like I needed encouragement!) I started writing as something more than just for fun when I had an essay published in a magazine for AIDS activism when I was eleven.

What was the inspiration for your book?

I was initially intrigued by the idea of a love story between athletes as something that hasn’t been done a lot and the sort of opposites-attract notion of a yoga instructor falling for a boxer. But I also wanted to explore this idea of dreams and failures and what both of those things really mean.

What’s the one genre you haven’t written in yet that you’d like to?

I’ve been thinking about taking a stab at a superhero story, a hero’s journey with a twist sort of thing.

Are there any genres you won’t read or write in? Why?

Not really. If it’s a good story, I’m in.

So, what are you working on right now? Got any releases planned, or still writing?

I’m actually just starting the editing process for my second book, “Spice.” It’s a romantic comedy about a sex-advice columnist who’s struggling a bit with his own love life. That will be out early next year.

Alright, now for some totally random, fun questions. Favorite color?

Blue

Favorite movie?

Ghostbusters

Book that inspired you to become an author?

I don’t know that any one book inspired me, but I was huge reader as a child and always had several books going at once! I feel like I’m constantly saying, “this was my favorite book when I was little!”

Alright, you have one superpower. What is it?

Flying, but safely. Like I don’t want to accidentally get caught up in a flock of migrating geese and seriously injure myself.

You can have dinner with any 3 people, dead, alive, fictitious, etc. Who are they?

Walt Whitman
Maya Angelou
Beyonce

Last question: Which of your characters are you most like and how/why?

I think I’m a lot like Jack in that it’s sometimes easier for me to keep my hurt and failures locked up tight, like I need to keep them safe instead of dealing with them and moving on.

That’s all from me, thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!

Thank you for having me!

8_19 Cover_PivotAndSlipFormer Olympic hopeful Jack Douglas traded competitive swimming for professional yoga and never looked back. When handsome pro boxer Felix Montero mistakenly registers for his Yoga for Seniors class, Jack takes an active interest both in Felix’s struggles to manage stress and in his heart, and discovers along the way that he may have healing of his own to do.

Faced with the ghosts of his athletic aspirations, can Jack return to his old dream or carve out a new path, and will their budding romance survive the test of Felix’s next bout in the ring?

Enjoy an excerpt:

“I’m a boxer,” Felix said. Then his face twisted. “Or I was, anyway.”

Something flashed across Felix’s eyes, then, and Jack could see his jaw clamp tightly again, working and clenching. His breath came in shallow puffs through his flaring nostrils and he seemed visibly to be trying to calm himself.

Instinctively, Jack grasped Felix’s free hand and stretched it across the distance between them to set it gently against his own abdomen. Jack could feel soft tremors shaking through Felix’s fingers, the vibrations pulsing through Jack’s T-shirt. Felix’s eyes widened as Jack took a deep breath, filling his diaphragm and then his lungs, and let it out steadily.

“Breathe,” he instructed, and inhaled again, nodding when Felix started to follow along. They breathed together, a slow circuit in and out and in, and Jack could see how Felix seemed to be calming bit by bit with every exhalation, his shoulders and neck loosening, his hand going lax and stretching wide across Jack’s stomach from the bottom curve of his ribcage down to his belly button.

Jack focused on sending him a calming energy, passing it out from his body into Felix’s, until Felix’s eyes blinked closed and his mouth parted and Jack found himself completely thrown off by the thickness of Felix’s eyelashes and the plump curve of his mouth.

Jack’s breath hitched on an inhalation and Felix startled and opened his eyes, the ice pack falling to the ground with a soft thump. And when his hand flexed over Jack’s stomach and he dropped his gaze to Jack’s lips and back up, his eyes heavy-lidded and dark, the energy hummed and crackled between them.

About the Author:Lilah Suzanne has been writing actively since the sixth grade, when a literary magazine published her essay about an uncle who lost his life to AIDS. A freelance writer, she has also authored a children’s book and has a devoted following in the fan fiction community.

A Soldier’s Seduction by Brandi Evans – Q&A and Giveaway

August 18, 2014 By 15 Comments

8_18 brandi VBT_ASoldiersSeduction_Banner
This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Brandi will award a $10 Amazon GC to two winners via rafflecopter and a personalized charm bracelet to a third winner via Rafflecopter. PLEASE NOTE: A Soldier’s Seduction is available FREE from the publisher.

Hola, Lovelies!

I’m so honored you stopped by to learn a little about me and my first CYOA (Choose Your Own Romance) A Soldier’s Seduction. With the different possible choices—for both the reader and for myself—this was such a fun story to write. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 😉

I’d also like to thank my wonderful host for having me here today. You so totally rock!

1. Please describe your hero, from A Soldier’s Seduction, in three words.

Soldier.

Sexy.

Alpha.

2. Which of your characters would you most like to invite to dinner and why?

Brock Michaels from His Forbidden Submissive. He’s a Dom with a heart of gold.

As if that alone wasn’t enough, he’s also a bad boy. Tattoos everywhere. Shaved head. Muscles big enough he could probably bench press a small mountain. *fans self*

 

3. Who I’d least like to invite to dinner?

 

Probably Kaia from my first book Tempted. She’s a fallen angel with a particularly nasty side. She likes to “inspire” humans to do terrible things. In Tempted, she tries to get the heroine to commit suicide.

Yeah, Kaia’s one nasty b*tch.

4. What scene, in particular, from A Soldier’s Seduction are you dying for readers to read?

Hmmm, that one’s hard, especially with four possible endings!

But I’d have to choose, I’ll pick the end of the “bedroom” scene, where the hero *spoilers* (and if you read that in River Song’s voice, we’re now best friends, LOL!) confesses his love, and the heroine just can’t quite believe it. She stares up at him in disbelief…

Love it. 🙂

5. Which usually comes first for you, the character(s) story or the idea for the novel?

The sex.

I don’t mean that in a crass way, LOL. I’m referring to the heat between the characters. That’s what draws me to them and makes me want to write their story. I’ve built entire stories around an initial sex scenes.

6. How many books have you published? Which is your favorite and why?

Currently published at the time I write this: 7 (with 2 more contracted).

And now you want me to choose my favorite? I’m not sure I can.

Tempted was my first story, so it will always have a special spot in my heart. His Forbidden Submissive has my favorite character, Brock. A Soldier’s Seduction was my first foray into CYOA. Tyler, one of the hero’s from In the Middle of Nowhere, has been so emotional and physically scarred, he makes me feel terrible for crafting such a painful backstory for him.

So yeah, please don’t make me choose!

7. If someone were to write a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?

The Voices Made Her Do It.

8. Do you prefer ebooks, paperbacks or hardcover? Any specific reason why?

Ebooks almost exclusively.

With my lap occupied by Kidlet2 so much of the time, one-handed reading is just easier. Plus, now that Amazon has merged their Audible app with their Kindle app, I can now listen to the stories or read them without losing my place in either. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love that.

9. Do you have a question for our readers?

What is your favorite genre of romance? What is your least favorite? Please leave your answers in the comments!

10. Do you have any other projects in the works? If so, can you share a little of your current work with us?

Yes!

I’ve signed with Silk Words for another CYOA story, tentatively titled Uniform Seduction. It’s set in the same world as A Soldier’s Seduction and features Gen’s best gal pal, Lily Collins, as she has to decide between two equally yummy soldier’s.

I’m also working on first-round edits for a military-themed m/m erotic romance for Loose Id. The story’s called In the Middle of Nowhere, and is tentatively set for an October release.

8_18 brandi Cover_ASoldiersSeductionWhen Gen learns her best guy friend is going back to Afghanistan, she arranges an erotic sendoff he’ll never forget.

GENEVIEVE FOSTER can no longer deny the truth. She’s fallen in love with her business partner and best friend, LIAM ENGLAND. She’s hesitant to tell him the truth, at least until she learns his National Guard unit is going back to the Middle East. Now, all bets are off. She heads to the mall for the perfect erotic outfit. And by outfit, she, of course, means lingerie. A dark blue baby-doll for an intimate evening in or a leather bustier for a night of sinful pleasures at The Erogenous Zone…

*~*~*~*~*

Pick Your Path to Romance.

Blurring the line between fiction and gaming, SilkWords.com offers high-quality romance and erotica that allows individual readers to choose how stories proceed. SilkWords is the place for smart, busy, adventurous women to unwind and have fun.

Enjoy an excerpt:

“Are you ever going to un-blindfold me?”

“Maybe,” I teased, praying my nervousness didn’t leak through.

Taking Liam by the hands, I tugged him from the passenger’s seat of my Ford Escape. I’d given my handsome companion only one clue about tonight’s adventure — to wear something sexy — and damn if Liam hadn’t delivered.

A pair of black sheen slacks covered his legs, and the light blue button-down I’d given him on his last birthday had beautifully brought out the azure of his eyes. I’d hated to cover them with the blindfold, but it couldn’t be helped.

He’d shaved and cut his hair, his blond locks sporting an Army crew cut, making him look strong, virile, a vision of alpha-tastic yumminess. He’d no doubt fit right in inside The Erogenous Zone. Lord knew he was doing a number on my erogenous zones.

My heart had been doing the samba since I’d knocked on Liam’s door. I’d had to employ every self-restraint trick I’d known — as well as several I’d invented on the fly — just to keep from jumping him right then and there. I’d put a lot of planning into our erotic outing, and I didn’t want to derail everything because I couldn’t control myself.

Liam had talked about coming to The Erogenous Zone since the club had opened, but reservations were few and far between. He’d asked me to come with him. I’d been thrilled until I’d learned his request probably had more to do with the fact couples had less of a waiting list than single males. Still, I liked to believe Liam had wanted to go with me because he wanted me at his side.

“There’s a step here,” I said as we left the shadows of the parking lot behind and moved into the soft glow of the club’s outside lighting. Liam held tight to me as we stepped over the curb and onto the path leading to the entrance. The club loomed large and imposing in front of us, an enormous brick building with graffiti spray-painted on the sides. According to the website, the place had been an abandoned warehouse before the owner had repurposed it, and from where we stood, an abandoned warehouse was exactly what it still looked like.

As we reached the entrance, a man the size of a small mountain approached us. He wore all black, save for a tiny splash of color on the right pocket. Written in multi-hued lettering, the club’s logo stood out against the dark background. Two full sleeves of tattoos covered his arms. Metal studs pierced his eyebrows, his nose, his lips — all in multiple places.

“Do you have a reservation?” The bouncer’s voice reverberated, a deep, gravelly resonance I swore I could feel inside my bones.

I swallowed hard, hoping to displace the unease suddenly bottlenecking in my throat. “Yes. For Genevieve Foster. Plus one.”

Muscles glanced at his clipboard and then opened the door. “This way, Ms. Foster. If you’ll see Rachel at the front desk, she’ll get you checked in.”

I nodded. The reality of the moment bitch-slapped me. I was about to take my best guy friend into a sex club so I could seduce him. Our entire relationship hinged on what would happen in the next few moments. I could finally have the man I loved in my arms, or I could lose a dear friend forever.

Things hadn’t seemed this real in the planning phase.

About the Author: 8_18 brandi AuthorAvatar

Brandi Evans was raised by a caravan of traveling Gypsies. She spent her days learning the ways of her people and her nights lost in legends as old as time. Okay, not really, but that’s way more interesting than the truth!

In reality, Brandi grew up the oldest child of an ordinary family. Grade school, middle school, high school. Nothing extraordinary happened until she left the nest. She joined the military, went to college, got married, and became a mom. And somewhere along the way, she discovered she liked to read—and write!—stories hot enough to melt eReaders.

These days, she calls The Natural State home where she lives with her hubby, two beautiful daughters, two dogs and a cat who has yet to realize she doesn’t own the place. Soldier. Wife. Mom. Multi-published smut writer. Brandi’s life might not be “traveling Gypsy” interesting, but she’s had fun. And in the end, isn’t that all that really matters?

20 Questions with Bridge

By L.C. Chase

 

G’day everyone! Welcome to my Let It Ride blog tour and a peek into the world of rodeo cowboys. (The official schedule can be found here.) This wouldn’t be a proper tour without some prezzies, of course. Read on for giveaway details—and one very special prize! Thank you to Long and Short Reviews for hosting my cowboys, and to all of you for hopping in the saddle to ride along!

 

* * *

 

For today’s post, I was thinking it might be fun to have a little interview with pickup man extraordinaire, Bridge Sullivan. I found him setting up a table for their traditional post-rodeo poker game, and he was gracious enough to sit down and answer a few…speed questions. I call them speed because I have a little stopwatch and he has 15 seconds to answer each one. Oh, the pressure. 😉

 

How old are you?

28 but I look younger. [he preens]

 

What do you think your life expectancy is?

Hell if I know. Today’s all I’ve got so I have to make the most of it, right?

 

What is your height?

Six feet two inches.

 

What is your job?

Pickup man!

 

What is your favorite color?

[his eyes go all dreamy for a second] Violet.

 

Nice! Okay, what’s your favorite food?

Enchiladas. The best in all of California are right here in Folsom.

 

I’ll take your word on that. What’s your favorite beverage?

Iced tea with a big fat lemon wedge.

 

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

Gotta go with chocolate. Who doesn’t like chocolate? By the way, do my questions count against the 20 questions?

 

Nice try. Next question: What are you most afraid of?

That this interview will never end.

 

Ha-ha. Do you hate anyone?

There are a couple people I don’t want anything to do with, but I don’t hate them. Life’s too short to waste on hating when you can be happier loving.

 

*Swoon*Have any deep dark secrets?

Maybe. [he gives me a crooked grin]

 

Do you love anyone?

Maybe. [his grin stretches into a smile]

 

What do you do to relax?

Kick back with my friends, play some poker, shoot some pool.

 

What are you going to do now?

Play poker!

 

Do you have any pets?

Can horses be pets? I have five of them.

 

Who is your hero?
A lot of countries in Asia have been using tongkat ali generic levitra bought here extract for many years now. Fact: Only about half order levitra of all women reach orgasm during sexual intercourse. Yet, some people are price of levitra skeptical about using this drug as there are a number of different myths going around about the it. Overabundance almost everything will be negative thus just before ingesting MALE IMPOTENCE supplements, you need to constantly check cialis 100mg with his / her medical doctor.
At the risk of offending Kent, Marty’s my hero. He’s one of the strongest, bravest, kindest, most genuine people I know, and I would do anything for him.

 

[I have to admit I have a soft spot for Marty too] What is your greatest weakness?

Hmm…letting you talk me into this. [he winks] Are we are 20 yet?

 

Almost. Where is your head at?

[he glances away and I follow his gaze to see Eric looking back]

 

Next! Where did you lose your virginity?

In a barn when I was fifteen.

 

Why were you born?

To kick ass!

 

LOL! Congratulations, you survived 20 questions.

Finally. You should stay and play a few hands with us. [and I do]

The Blurb:

 

Pickup man Bridge Sullivan is the kind of cowboy everyone wants—as a brother, a friend, a lover. People think he’s straight, but Bridge isn’t one for labels, and when a sexy male paramedic jump-starts his heart, he charges in with all guns blazing.

 

New York City transplant Eric Palmer grew up in foster care. While he always had a roof over his head, he never felt love or a sense of belonging . . . until he joined the California rodeo circuit as a paramedic and found a band of brothers who took him in as one of their own. Now, one in particular is making Eric’s pulse race.

 

When things heat up between Bridge and Eric, Bridge has to prove to Eric he’s not just experimenting with the rougher sex, while Eric must overcome his fears of being unwanted and cast aside. He knows that trusting Bridge may be the key to his happy ever after, but getting in the saddle is much, much easier than learning to let it ride.

Behind the Scenes with Cassandra Dean

Hi peeps,

First off, thank you to Long and Short Reviews for having me. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Cassandra Dean and I write historical romance ranging from sweet to steamy. I also play about in the eras, roaming from Ancient Rome to Victorian to the Old West and beyond. My books take readers on an emotional rollercoaster, from the lowest of lows to the joyous of highs. And, of course, my characters fall into the forever kind of love.

Today, I thought I’d share a typical day behind the scenes of the juggernaut that is Cassandra-dra-dra Dean-ean-ean (imagine echo-y goodness here).

A day in the life of Cassandra Dean, Auteur* (*French. So classy)

Wake up around 10am after a restful and trouble-free sleep. Laugh and scoff at all those plebs who had to get up at ridiculous-o’clock to go to their day job. Enjoy my breakfast of perfectly poached eggs and freshly squeezed orange juice while still laughing and scoffing. Almost choke. Make note to keep gloating to times when I’m not consuming foodstuffs.

Decide to log on to the internet for a quick whizz about the web. Before I can check what glowing reviews have appeared while I slept, my head research assistant comes in bearing a load of paper. Remind her the research should be collated into a precise. Am disappointed she didn’t do this in the first place. Give her new assignment. Really, there’s no call for daggers.

Settle to the internet again. Am interrupted again. This time, it’s my stylist bearing the latest fashion from Milan. It’s okay, I suppose. Honestly, I don’t know what Valentino is thinking some days.

Finally check the webs. Realise my PA has not updated any of my social media. My fans are going to think I don’t care! Log in to each and update with all the glowing reviews I have found. Sigh. Cannot get any good help these days. Have to do EVERYTHING myself.

Decide to check my ratings on Amazon. Have slipped. Demand PA writes a positive review to circumvent any slippage. Now she’s giving me an evil look. Really, is such a thing contagious this morning?

Correction, afternoon. Hmm. Better have lunch.

Three hours and a leisurely lunch at the hottest restaurant in town later, return to my computer. Better check the social medias again. Still no updates. Sigh. Log on and leave more links to glowing reviews.

Stifle a yawn. Oh my, look at the time. Really should get my beauty sleep. Will write tomorrow, I’m sure.

~fin*~ (more French!)
==========================

Golly, I wish my typical day was like that! Well, apart from all the rudeness to fictional staff 😉 In reality, a typical writing day begins once I arrive home from the day job. I’ll log on to the internet, update some stuff, and then I’ll settle in to write as much as I can before I collapse into bed, only to start it all the next day. Not as glamorous, but heaps more accurate!

I hope you enjoyed this (mostly—okay, wholly!) fictionalised account of my day. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy TEACH ME!

Cassandra

It was hard to concentrate on walking with Mark in such close proximity. His face was so striking, with perfect masculine features, a strong chin, and broad nose. He had to be Italian. His dark hair was short and styled with a sexy “just got out of bed” look. His eyes matched his hair color and Stephanie was rattled when they met hers. His good looks made her so nervous she stumbled over the threshold. He was quick to catch her arm to help steady her. She was embarrassed beyond measure and tried to laugh it off, making small talk about the history of the house, though he seemed more interested in her than the things she was saying. Mark stared at her and it was unnerving. Self-conscious, she rubbed her fingers through her long hair afraid something was out of place. Why did he look at her like that? He smiled and blushed when she asked if he wanted to go upstairs. She told herself not to read too much into it and led him to his bedroom.
