Review for Singapore Fling!

Yay. I got my first review for Singapore Fling. Gillyflower over at Whipped Cream Erotic Reviews had some lovely things to say about Singapore Fling but I have to say my favorite is this.

“Singapore Fling opens with one of the most delicious, amazing, detailed, and thorough descriptions of how a woman’s body comes alive with arousal, which sets the scene for a delightful sexual romp.”

It’s what day??

Oh my word have things been extremely busy round here. I know I’ve neglected the blog and yes I have a really good reason, I just can’t tell you all what it is yet. *grin* Maybe in a few more weeks but until then I’ll be the mad woman running around chasing her own ass.

I’d love to say my time has been taken up by writing but that would be a lie. Although… Coyote Home is finished AND submitted! Yay me! It’ll be a few weeks until I know anything and with everything going on that’s probably a good thing. I started Coyote Whispers (bk 3) and it’s coming along nicely plus I got a bit done on Coyote Lies, the 4th in the series. If all goes well the whole series should come out next year. Fingers crossed.

In other news the International Heat reader group is going well and you can find me there most days. Come and check out what we have going on – Heat Wave Readers group.

In other writing news I’ve started a series of ‘quickies’ about a strip club set in my home town of Sydney and I’m enjoying getting to play with the characters a lot. Should be fun but I don’t see myself getting the time to finish them before next year. With everything going on I’m lucky to get any writing time but…

Today is GET ORGANIZED DAY!!! Yep, I’m drawing up a plan. Nobody laugh, I know, I never follow the plan but in this case I’ll HAVE to. Otherwise I’ll be in all sorts of bother by the end of the year. Do you know how close that is?? Jeez. I haven’t even thought about Christmas yet. I’m thinking I might postpone it. Any objections to that? No? Good. Christmas is now postponed until further notice. (sshhhh… don’t let the kids hear. *grin*)

So I guess it’s back to organizing.

Blogging at Noble Romance.

I’m over at Noble Romance authors blog talking about what inspired my Passport To Passion Collection. Come over and leave a comment.

Shaking things up.

In the last 24 hours we’ve had two earth quakes hit below Indonesia which means us in Singapore get a little shaken, not stirred. Our building was built by a construction company from Hong Kong so they know all about making buildings bend and sway in gale force winds, therefore the whole building sways with the tremors. It’s kind of like being on a swing. Only a little less exciting. (I blogged about the first one HERE last night.)

All that excitement aside, I’ve been busy writing (a story I shouldn’t be working on of course) and getting things put together for the new yahoo group the International Heat members are starting. Heat Wave Readers will be where you can find lots of exclusive excerpts, release day parties and heaps of contests. Heat Wave Readers went live today, you can click on the little join button on the right (or the link I put under the name). We’re all really excited about this new venture and hope to see you there.

Over the month of October the members of International Heat have lined up some great contests for you. There is a major contest for every week, plus we’ll also be doing some random drop-in contests, so keep your eye open for those throughout the month as well.

The fine print:

Each week there will be a new MAJOR prize package available to win. Ebooks, banners, gift certificates, book covers. Each prize package will show you what is in that prize. What you see is what you get, so if you already own some of the books in the prize,  you’ll just have to enjoy the ones you don’t have yet. Of course if the prize is a choice of backlist, you’ll get to choose!

MINI contests will be announced throughout the week, and you’ll usually have a day to enter to win. Again, prizes as stated in the announcements.

There’s also a GRAND PRIZE--and WOW, it’s pretty awesome!–that will be drawn on November 1st during our  Heat Wave Beach Party.

Each contest will explain what you have to do to enter.

Hope you enjoy getting to know the members of International Heat during this month and have fun.

Where does the time go?

I’m struggling with life at the moment, there’s stuff going on that needs my attention and it’s a great big time sucker! Ugh. I am getting words down though, and managing to do some reading (not much but still) for my CP’s. I finished Coyote Home last week and I’m waiting on one more feedback before tweaking it and sending it out. Coyote Wild will need some tweaking too and then there’s books 3 & 4 to write. Heaps to do before I’m finished playing in that shifter world. I just need to find the time to do it.

I started a new story and so far I think it’s going well. It’s a quickie so I should have it done by the end of the week, toes crossed. (I need my fingers to type. *grin*) It’s the first in a series set in a strip club. I’m looking forward to playing with these characters, they’re proving to be fun already. I’m really liking a secondary character, she’s spunky and has some serious history that needs to be explored so she won’t get her own book for a while. For now I’ll concentrate on Harley and Todd.

Hump Day Blues!

Release day!!

Yes, it’s here. The second story in my Passport To Passion Collection is available now from Noble Romance Publishing.

Blurb:-

Carly Simmons has lusted after her boss for six months. Throwing caution to the wind while on a business trip in Singapore, she suggests a fling. When Saxon takes her up on her offer, Carly gets far more than the conservative businessman she’s expecting.

Saxon Grant is definitely up for a weekend of red-hot sex, but once he gets his hands on Carly he knows a couple of days will never be enough. Months of wanting her explode into a weekend of tangled sheets and twisted emotions.

And after one wild weekend, these two hearts will never be the same.

Excerpt:-

Saxon plucked the drink from her hand, slapped the almost-empty glass down next to his before he wrapped his hand around her arm and hauled her to her feet. He took money from his pocket and dropped it on the table. There was too much but someone would get a generous tip because he didn’t plan on hanging around to count out the right amount or wait for change. Carly sputtered a protest, a minuscule little squeak that told him all he needed to know about her willingness to go with him.

Leaving the bar, he led her through the middle courtyard of the hotel to the elevator. She fought to keep up with his long strides and by the time his finger stabbed the up button her breathing was labored. Due to arousal or their sprint across the paved area? He couldn’t be sure, but his own breathing was shallow and rasped in his ears. Heated blood pumped through his veins and filled his cock. If she felt a tenth of the lust he did, it would be enough.

The doors swished open and he pushed Carly in ahead of him. He pressed the button for their floor. When the doors closed, he spun around and pinned her to the back wall. Wedging his leg between hers, he ground his thigh on her crotch. Heat scorched his skin through the layers of clothing. She was on fire. He pressed harder, eliciting a moan of pleasure from her beautiful mouth. The invitation was clear and he took it.

Slamming his mouth to hers, he sucked her bottom lip between his teeth and bit into the tender flesh. Her gasp of surprise allowed him access to the dark warmth his tongue sought to claim. All the months of holding back, waiting to take her, exploded into the kiss. He dominated, ravished and took without apology. Every corner, every recess became his. Her flavor was like a drug, the more he tasted the more he wanted.

His cock pulsed and he pumped his hips, pushing the throbbing organ against her supple belly. With the fingers of one hand tangled in her hair, he held her midnight tresses tight to keep her mouth under his. His other hand molded itself to her breast, her nipple prodding his palm. Drawing his hand back, he dragged his fingers over the mound until they caught on the bud. Using the padded tips, he tugged and pinched until the peak turned rock hard.

She moaned into his mouth and thrust her tongue against his while grinding her pussy on his thigh. He raised his leg, forcing her onto her toes, and felt her body quiver with her building orgasm. The ding of the elevator barely registered but the gasp of the elderly couple waiting when the doors opened did.

Saxon jerked away and Carly slid down onto the soles of her feet and kept going. His arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. Holding her to his side, he walked them out onto their floor. On wobbly legs, she tottered beside him. Quickening his steps, he marched them down the hall. His blood boiled, every vein filled to overflowing and his cock had never been so stiff. They’d never make the bed. He’d take her the second they got inside the room.

Cover goodness!!!

LOVE IT!!!!

Spotlight Sunday

OMG! I’m thrilled to let you all know we’ve got a new member over at International Heat. I’m even more thrilled to tell you she’s a fellow Aussie!! Yay! Lexxie Couper has joined the fold and when her name was first brought up as a possible nomination I was the first one to raise my hand and vote YES! Lexxie is funny and smart and writes smokin’ hawt stories that scorch the eyeballs. She’d not afraid to push those boundries in her writing and I admire that she stays true to her characters no matter how ‘bad’ others may think it is. Of course your bad and mine might be completely different. *grin*

I’ve recently had the privilege of reading her upcoming release from Samhain Publishing. Let me tell you the woman knows how to weave a tale so engrossing you forget everything and everyone around you. (Yes, the Tribe went without food.) Lexxie is published with Changeling Press, Samhain Publishing and Ellora’s Cave. (click on the pub names to go to her author page) Check out her WEBSITE and BLOG, she often throws up a flash fiction or snippet of whatever she’s working on.

And don’t forget to check the International Heat blog for your regular dose of warmth.

Over at International Heat.

It’s my turn to throw up a snippet of something I’m working on at International Heat. I’ve put the start of my current wip, Coyote Home, up for you all to have a look at. Go HERE! to have a read.
