STUFF YOUR STOCKING BLOGFEST: KATHLEEN GRIEVE

PhotobucketChristmas is more than just gifts. It is a time when traditions and family bonds are formed. A time when you can forget the stress of the daily life routine and relax and enjoy what you have. I have never been comfortable receiving gifts, especially since my birthday is a week before Christmas the gift giving when I was a child was melded into the two holidays. As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that I feel really good in the role of gift giver. I think this spawns from my role as a nurse and my need to nurture.

As I started this post, I thought about asking what your favorite Christmas traditions were, but as I sat here and typed I realized that my own traditions have changed over the last couple of years. I’ve started to give more, and not in the traditional sense. I’m talking to my community. These are very difficult times. Americans have lost jobs, are homeless, and hungry. I too, struggle, but especially this time of year think how I can give those a chance to garner a bit of holiday cheer.

Now, I donate. Donate to toy drives, donate food/turkeys to food and homeless shelters, and donate coats to the drives that collect coats to those that don’t have them. Especially with those in the Northeast who have been hit hard by Sandy, donations of any kind will be very important this holiday season.

It’s very easy to Google local food banks/shelters in your area. Ask your local Fire stations if they’re doing Toys for Tots. The American Red Cross is taking donations for Sandy relief. So get involved in your community. It’s a tradition that really does make you feel good from the inside out!

I want to thank Marianne and Judy for hosting this blog hop today! If you leave a comment on your favorite holiday tradition, I will draw a random name and you will receive a free e-book of my new release, The Doctor’s Deception. And, I will take it one step further. For every comment I will donate one bag of food to my local food bank.

Thanks for stopping by!

Groaning Ghosts
Ghosts are scary! Not laundry scary, but still pretty damn scary. I also find them utterly fascinating. I love that thrill of hearing ghostly tales, it gets my adrenalin pumping and I always feel the need to look over my shoulder.

There was only one time that I wanted nothing to do with the ghostly realm and that was when my family decided to move from Toronto to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. That alone was scary, especially for a city girl, but we moved us into a house whose original owners had passed away in the house…both in the master bedroom! YIKES!

Of course, we didn’t learn of that until we spoke to some locals, though by that point we knew something wasn’t right. We had already heard thumps coming from my parents’ room when we were all downstairs and the tap in the kitchen would turn on by itself.

Freaky!

By far, the spookiest event happened when I was living in the house by myself.

After a day of work, I went home and while making dinner I heard a couple of loud thumps. I brushed it off as the traditional groans of an old house. Later, I was watching a bit of TV and my little yapper, Peppy, walked to the bottom of the stairs just off the living room and looked up like there was someone there. I took a quick look and saw nothing then went back to my show, chalking it up the odd behaviour to bad eyesight as she was getting on in years.

By eleven o’clock, I was ready for bed. I completed my nightly ritual, and then headed up stairs. My German shepherd, Sarah, zoomed up in front of me, while Peppy followed behind. When I reached, the top Sarah was just sitting at the top standing next to my bedroom door. She just sat there, ears perked up, staring past me down the hall. When Peppy finally joined us, she stopped in her tracks next to Sarah, and stared at the same spot. I encouraged them to follow, but neither budged. I even tried grabbing Sarah’s collar but she put on the brakes and then ducked into my room making herself at home on my bed.

I didn’t make a big deal of the creepy feeling I suddenly had and carried on my way. By the time I reached my parents’ room, I had goose bumps on my arms and that creepy feeling, like that some…thing…one, was watching from inside the room. I didn’t see anything threatening, but I did get the feeling that I wasn’t wanted, so I got out of there…fast. I very quickly walked back to my room, closed the door, got into bed and pulled up the covers. Because everyone knows, your covers protect you from ghost. *queue eye roll*

The next morning, the door to my parents’ room was closed. I certainly didn’t close it; there was no way I was reaching in that room to pull a door closed. At the time, I wondered who did; I also wondered what the heck went on in there. Really? All this paranormal activity was happening in a bedroom. What else went on in there! Knitting classes. Sheesh!

It did leave me wondering if desire and love followed us into death. And after what I experienced, I’m going to say…Hell yeah it does.

Now that I write erotic romance, my mind goes into over-drive with the kinky possibilities. What could two ghosts or souls, get up to without having bodies to do it in? A little multiple action? Maybe they had their silk scarves and paddles ready to go. Or, maybe, they were simple folk who wanted to get down and dirty with the classic cowgirl? The possibilities are endless. Maybe the better question should be what couldn’t they do!

Those lucky ghosts.

Just 5% to 10% of cases are http://valsonindia.com/levitra-1566.html discount levitra caused by bacterial infection. It offers effective order levitra online bought that treatment for blood glucose disorders and diabetes. These products were affordable and had the sildenafil 100mg canada same effects. But, excessive white discharge cialis prescription is not healthy.
Whichever is the case, years later I used the events of that night and the layout of that house in helping me write my new paranormal erotic romance, The Soul Within. Guess that means I’m indebted to frisky, ghosts…?

Halloween Time Memories
Hi, I am Charity Parkerson and I am the author of 19 books including 11 Amazon best-sellers. I am also co-host of The Melissa Craig and Charity Parkerson show. If you’d like to check out any of those, you can read about them here: http://www.charityparkerson.com/ and I have a blog http://charity-thesinners.blogspot.com/ but I thought we’d have some fun today.

October is my favorite month, and I thought it might be fun to share a memory from our childhood (or adulthood) about Halloween. There are no rules. It can be funny or sweet, doesn’t matter. As an extra incentive, I will be giving away a $5.00 Amazon gift card to one randomly drawn commenter along with a few Smashwords coupons for some of my books. Don’t forget to add your email address to your comment so I’ll know where to find you.

I will kick things off…

When I was young we lived way out in the woods. There were a total of 4 houses within walking distance, we knew everyone who lived in those houses, and 3 of them were relatives. Each year, my sister and I would dress up in our (usually homemade costumes), get our pillowcases, and walk to all 4 houses. Our first stop would always be my Aunt Effie’s house. Now Aunt Effie was easily 100 years old, and seeing us in our costumes was always the highlight of her year. Each year she made a special batch of cornbread for us. We would knock on her door, and yell Trick-or-Trick then she would scoop out the cornbread and dump it in our bags NO ZIPLOC OR ANYTHING!! This is why we went there first! We would smile and say our thanks, before running down the road, and shaking our bags out in the ditch before moving on to the candy. 🙂

As awful as that sounds, it made her happy to give us that cornbread and it made up happy to see her excited so it worked out for everyone. Now it’s your turn, what is your favorite Halloween memory?

The Sexiest Part of Autumn is Wrapped in Fatigues and Honor
By
Angel Payne
Darker nights with chimney smoke in the air. Starbucks pumpkin lattes. A huge selection of naughty costume stuff at Party City. The return of “Vampire Diaries.”

There are lots of reasons to embrace Autumn as a sexy season, even for a die-hard Summer-Lover like yours truly. (Hey, I live in Southern California. You can’t walk on Huntington Beach in the middle of August and NOT like Summer, if you know what I mean!)

But the best and sexiest fall season date is 11-11. You got it. Veterans Day.

Woodrow Wilson declared the first Armistice Day on November 11, 1919, with the purpose to “be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory…” In 1954, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day, so as to make us all remember what kind of sacrifices have been made for the freedoms we enjoy.

I have to be honest: before this year, I walked through the world with a pretty blasé attitude about this holiday. But as I ramped up the background research for Mark Moore, my hero in Permanent Marker, then did some prelim notes for a future book featuring a Navy SEAL, I constantly realized how deep in the sand my head was really stuck. I was floored, humbled and moved to tears by the things our servicemen and women give up on a daily basis just so we can have the amazing things we take for granted in our lives. Yeah, things like those Starbucks lattes, those sexy fishnets, even the books I have the freedom and the opportunity to write.

But there are the other things they give up, too. The really hard stuff. Nightly hugs from their kids. The very birth of their kids. Waking up to a kiss from their lover. Being able to even touch their lover. Birthday parties. Weddings. Funerals. Holidays. Dates that can never be replaced. Memories they’ll never have.

To keep OUR lives safe. To protect and to serve ALL of us.

You can’t do sexy better than that.

This November 11th, let’s all try to give a little sexy back. Thank your local veteran. I don’t care what war they served in, or to what capacity, or whether they’re male or female. Buy them that pumpkin latte. Hell, if you’re an exhibitionist like me, give ‘em a peek at those fishnets.

NaNoWriMo is an odd thing. I’m not doing it this year, though I have in the past, and even won. I find that these days, I have enough incentive to get my ass in the chair almost every day without the crazy-making expectation of fifty thousand words on the page at the end of the month.

But that isn’t the only reason I’m not participating this year. “I’m working on a story idea I’ve had for a few months now. I still love the idea, and the characters, and I still think I have a good story here, but the thought of opening up that document and working on it makes me want to walk away from the computer completely.”

I quoted that right out of one of my own blog posts from November of 2008. I’m pretty sure it was this very book, As Advertised, that I was working on at the time, too.

At the time, I didn’t know what to do about the dilemma. The fact is, I still don’t. NaNo says write. Write through it all, and worry about quality and typos later. Just write and get to the end. My heart says writing through a bad story line is not the way to go. Put it away and come back to it when the characters feel like co-operating and telling you their thoughts and feelings.

The funny thing is, I don’t remember ever feeling this feeling of apathy towards a story before. Clearly, I have felt it. Huh. Funny what we block out of our memory when it suits, isn’t it?

The good news is that if I worked through the issue once, there’s a good chance I can do it again. As Advertised came out decently, after all, and I really think the story I’m working on now will, too. I have it on good authority (a beta reader who I trust would not lie to me, ever) that it emphatically does not suck as much as I think it does.

To prove it, she says I should start here:

The club could not have been any darker and still be considered lit, but Stanley didn’t think better lighting would improve the ambiance. Stage lights bounced over the chanting crowd, glanced off the shabby décor, and disappeared into the further reaches of the low-ceilinged labyrinth of the bar.

The lead singer prowled to the front and took up a position behind the mike. His sulk was infused with sex and the silent command to look at him, see him, and want him. Stanley glanced around the room. Everyone heard that slinky body language. Turning his attention back to the stage, he stripped his own veneer of music executive and watched the younger man through the eyes of the audience.

Narrow hips, long, muscled legs encased in leather, broad shoulders and chest just filled out enough to be impressive screamed the perfect, soundless note of bad-boy and danger. His clean, fine features were lost under the weight of makeup and spiked hair, but the drama of lean sharp characteristics accentuated with black liner and lipstick was more than enough to command the attention his undoubtedly pretty face might not get if he’d showed it off naked. And yet, Stanley wished he could see under the façade, because there was something innately provocative about the man his persona came dangerously close to ruining.

What do you think? Couple of characters worth reading about? I hope so!!

About the Author:Jaime has been writing for various publishers since the fall of 2008, although she’s been writing for herself far longer. Often asked why men; what’s so fascinating about writing stories about men falling in love, she’s never come up with a clear answer. Just that these are the stories that she loves to read, so it seemed to make sense if she was going to write, they should also be the stories she wrote.

These days, you can find plenty of free reading on her website. She also writes for Freya’s Bower, Loveyoudivine Alterotica, Pink Petal Books, Dreamspinner Press and Total E-Bound.

Spare time, when it can be found rolled into a ball at the back of the dryer or cavorting with the dust bunnies in the corners, she’s probably spending reading, drawing, gardening (weather permitting, of course, since she is Canadian!) or watching movies. Well. She has a day job or two, as well, and two kids, but thankfully, also a wonderful husband who shoulders more than his fair share of household and child care responsibilities.

She graduated some time ago from college with a Fine Arts diploma, with a major in textile arts, which basically qualifies her to draw pictures and create things with string and fabric. One always needs an official slip of paper to fall back on after all….

Meet Dante, Demon of Seduction
By
Kathy Kulig
Thanks for inviting me here today to talk about my bad boy hero Dante in my latest release Damned and Defiant from Ellora’s Cave. And thanks to the readers for taking the time to check out my books. Readers rock!

Dante Akanto is a character in all three books: Desert of the Damned, Damned and Desired, and Damned and Defiant. He plays quite a unique part in all three books. He’s a hunky immortal demon with the power to draw lifeforce energy from mortals through sexual encounters. He must do this for the survival of his life and his world Anartia. Unlike some demons on Anartia, he wasn’t always an immortal creature. He was assimilated by the demoness Gwyllain and her consort and lover Tarik to be their Drone and servant. In exchange for Dante’s loyalty and services, he was given immortality. The choice was a no-brainer because a senior Drone approached him while Dante was near death.

Dante lived during the Gold Rush days in the 1800s, he had a gold claim, he had a ranch and horses. Someone wanted all that he had. Dante was betrayed and shot and lay dying in the desert when another Drone rescued him. If he hadn’t accepted the demoness’s offer, he would’ve died.

While Drones collect their lifeforce energy, they cannot indulge in orgasms. To do so will drain the energy they collected and possibly drain all the energy from their current prey to the point of death. For this reason, Drones are forbidden to get personal with mortals. Dante breaks that rule when he meets Haley.

He knows she’s running from her past. Something frightened her enough to leave everything behind except a backpack and hike across country but he doesn’t know what. He’s attracted to her vulnerability, courage and beauty. Besides her quirkiness, she’s a Sha Warrior with powers she doesn’t even know she possesses. And another demon wants to use her for his own benefit. To protect Haley, Dante has to betray his own kind and risk destroying his world.

Mortal women surrender to Dante’s seductions. He is a Drone, an immortal who feeds off their lifeforce energy—the chi that keeps his kind alive. When his dimension is on the edge of destruction, Dante must seek the help of one special woman.

Haley Moore is a Sha Warrior—a mortal with excess lifeforce energy. She has always had a strong attraction to Dante and when they meet again he thinks luck is on his side because his quota of chi energy would be obtained after one scorching scene with this mortal. But the problem is that he is overwhelmingly attracted to her and once with this woman won’t be enough.

Haley tries to draw out the man buried deep within the demon. Their fierce, undeniable passion unravels his plans and threatens her life. Can Dante bear to abandon her when he leaves Earth forever? Dante will have to choose whether to return to his world or to give up his immortality and share his future with Haley.

That girl in English class, the one who started on her essay or reading assignment the day it was handed out? Yeah, that was me. A camera was never far from my fingertips either, and anyone walking the school halls was fair game to having their photo snapped for the yearbook. I had grand dreams of becoming a photojournalist. Then my parents moved a few days after my graduation, and at seventeen I was on my own and all dreams were put on hold. I bounced around from place to place for a couple of years, married young, had three beautiful boys. “Me” became replaced with “Mom”. For twenty-some years, I immersed myself in raising my kids. Nothing was more important. I still took photos, I still read whenever I could steal a moment, but writing took such a backseat, it was more likely found huddled and neglected in the trunk.

As my boys got older and became involved in sports, I started submitting write-ups of their games to the local paper and they always got printed. That small success fueled the fire kept on slow simmer for too many years. On my fortieth birthday, I sat myself down, as people tend to do, and asked what did I still want to achieve for “me”? I wanted to write a book. So I did. And it was terribly bad. But the bug had bitten. I wrote another one, then another and another… I took classes, attended conferences, joined writing groups, and I began getting “good” rejection letters. (I know, right? Total oxymoron.)

About that time, my life shifted gears again. With my children at an age where they no longer needed constant attention, my hubby and I began to travel. I found an entire world out there to explore and photograph, and digital photography made it so easy and fun. I stopped writing halfway through a story, just completely stopped writing. But if you have a true passion for something, it can’t be denied. It took a couple years, but I gradually found my way back to writing. I still haven’t finished that abandoned story, but I will. Another of my stories called to me first, my favorite one. I edited it, brought it into the twenty-first century (my, how the world has changed in those few brief years), submitted it and yay – Show No Weakness has recently been published.

I confess to being partial to wounded heroes. I enjoy reading about them and most of my stories are about them, although sometimes I’ll pick on the heroine. Two of my other favorite classes in school were Sociology and Psychology and I blame my fascination with the human psyche for this compulsion to torment my characters.

And poor Cole, the strong, tough-as-nails cop in Show No Weakness, is certainly tormented. He’s hiding from a pain too terrible to face. Then he meets Joely, social worker and single mom to a teenage son, who’s blatantly open about her emotions and her compulsion to help anyone in need. Cole is definitely in need. To learn more about Cole and Joely, please visit my website at http://www.JoyceHolmes.wordpress.com.

I’ve learned a few things along the path to this place I now find myself. I’ve learned life is about striking a balance. You don’t necessarily have to give up one thing to enjoy another. And never give up on a dream, even if it has to ride in the trunk for a while first.

She’s a free-spirited social worker, looking for her Happy-Ever-After. He’s a distrustful RCMP Corporal who’s sworn off relationships. Their sexual attraction is so hot, it oughta be illegal. Factor in a surly teen heading for delinquency, and you have a case of passion and turmoil too explosive to handle.

As a defense mechanism to deal with his guilt and grief over his daughter’s death, Cole Dennison has become an expert at compartmentalizing his feelings. He keeps his personal life private, while making it his mission at work to rescue children in peril.

Joely Sinclair is fiercely protective and openly compassionate. When she meets Cole Dennison, she falls hard. He’s everything she admires in a man, and because she wears her heart on her sleeve, she can’t understand how or why Cole keeps all his emotions to himself.

Does her love have the power to heal this wounded man?

Thursday Spotlight: Megan Slayer

Thursday Thirteen with Megan Slayer

I thought for today I’d do something a little different and yet similar to others. A Thursday Thirteen post. Thirteen things you might not know about Megan Slayer. Here we go:

13: I can’t tie a cherry stem with my teeth. Okay, I’ve never actually tried, but for some reason it doesn’t really interest me. Sad, I know.

12: I love a good red wine and beer makes me turn up my nose. Yes, I am picky.

11: I have a college degree in Fine Art.

10: I have a tattoo but I am scared to death of needles.

9: I love history, especially the Civil War era, but I doubt I’d ever write a book set in that time period because it’s been done—a lot.

8: I am not a morning person. Get me up before 9 am unless it’s to get the youngling to school and I’ll probably bite your head clean off. Conversely, if I do have to get up, I’m up for the morning. I can’t go back and nap. Dang it.

7: I hate laundry. My wish is for a washing/drying machine that not only washes and dries the clothes, but also folds and puts it away. I’m still waiting.

6: Yes, I still have a blankie. It’s not currently in use as it’s falling apart, but I have it still.

5: I might be short of stature, but as my best friend, Kealie and I proclaim: We are fun-sized.

4: I have a big dog and a little dog. I wanted the German Sheppard. The youngling wanted a wiener dog. We now have both. And yes, they are all best friends.

3: I wanted to be a beautician when I was a kid. I wanted to cut, style and color hair. To this day, I still cut/color my own hair. Can’t find anyone I trust to do it for me. Sad.

2: I can’t drive a stick shift. Don’t know that I want to learn. Meh.

1: I live in oHIo but I’ve never been to the Horseshoe down in Columbus. You’d think almost all Buckeyes would go there at one time. I haven’t made the trip. Yet. And yes, oHIo isn’t a typo. Buckeyes want the rest of the world to say HI to oHIo and come for a visit. Cheesy, but catchy.

Monday Spotlight: Megan Slayer

In the Mood

I wanted to introduce myself, first and foremost. My name is Megan Slayer. I write romance and it tends to be on the hot side. Why? The easy answer is I can’t get my characters to be behave. It’s the truth. The harder answer? I like inspirational books, I do. But I love books where the characters have the freedom to be as hinky kinky as they want to be. I like reading about characters who are expressing all their desires and needs in a safe environment.

Now that said, there’s this small issue of getting in the mood. Those who know me well know I don’t really hold back. My filter is usually broken. I tell you what’s on my mind, how I feel and don’t hold back. My one friend will say I am the most unrestrained of the Wild Women over at the Menagerie. She’s right. I am. Take me as I am, love me or hate me, but let me be me.

So back to the point. What about getting in the mood to write those hot, hot scenes? What does it take? Glad you asked.

My characters run the gamut from m/f to m/m, to m/m/f, to m/f/m. They are paranormal and contemporary mainstream. I have a lot of friends who are of every walk of life and persuasion. Sometimes all I need to get in the mood to write a scene is just to hang out with them. It is commonplace on each males and so woman, and moreover is truly characterized from lengthy intervals of hysteria that are not http://downtownsault.org/halloween/ order levitra related on the way to a healthier penis today. That is why it is called buy levitra canada . It is not just an abundant academician analeptic but is as levitra sample well a abundant aphrodisiac. That free cialis is the reason; the cost of all these are around $1.00 per pill. You’d be surprised how much you can work with just by sitting at a table talking with your friends. Now, I do have the disclaimer, if you say something I can possibly use, know it will end up in a book.

What if I need a little more than that? There’s always pictures and music. Writing sex means you have to be in the right frame of mind. Trust me. You never want to try to write white hot sex while in a bad mood. It just falls off the tracks. You probably don’t want to write sex if you’re depressed. Both happen to me as they happen to everyone. So to get myself in the mood, I tend to crank up the tunes. Something by Nine Inch Nails, Theory of a Deadman, or Disturbed works well. I also like to peruse photos. Not those photos, although they work rather well, too, I mean just looking at the photos that best resemble the character. Yep. I think about what that character might be thinking in the throes of lovemaking and run with it. Yes. I run rather far with them.

So that’s a peek into my mind and what I use to get in the mood. If you write hot, what gets you in the mood? If you’re a reader, what books get you in the mood? I’d love to know!
