Coming Soon: Sean & Toby(Lust at First Sight 1)

I am pleased to announce that my first in a series of shorts has been accepted for publication by Evernight Publishing!

I'm extremely excited about this series which consists of tales of insta-lust. Note that I'm saying LUST and not LOVE. These stories are fun, highly sexual, and each end on a cheerful HFN(Happy for now) note.

Look for Sean & Toby's story soon. I'll post further details as I get them.

What to Blog About?

What to blog about? That's been a question I've asked myself so many times over the past year. There's the usual posts when a new release comes out, and on occasion other authors drop by to plug their books. At times I have blogged about my personal life without getting too personal. Whatever you post online stays there forever and I always keep that in mind.

The winter's over and spring's here finally. We had a terrible winter as you can see from the picture above. That was one of many mega blizzards we had. There's a pathway to the street buried under all that snow. I'm so glad that we're through that and I'm looking forward to a nice summer.

There isn't much new on the writing front. I have a couple of works in various stages of completion that I hope to sub soon, and I have the first story in a series of shorts completed with many more to come. They're m/m and they standalone. Hot guys, passionate moments... What more could you ask for, right?

I need to update this site too. I'm hoping to get that done in the next couple of weeks. I hope everyone is doing well in life.

Dashing Doctor, Pregnant Nurse

My other pen, Vivan Kees has released a MF short! It's a medical romance! Check out the excerpts below. It's available from the Evernight Publishing site and on all third party sites like Amazon, All Romance, and Bookstrand.

Blurb: Passion, love, and a shocking secret…

Janine Croft never thought her affair with the dashing Dr. Kyle Van Peter would turn into anything more than it was. After all, it wasn’t supposed to be anything serious, right? But when a sudden unexpected bump in the road derails everything she’s known in her otherwise routine life, the once practical nurse must face her newfound reality. Which may or may not include the man who’s seen to her every need both physically and emotionally during the past few months.

When did things change between them? Kyle Van Peter can’t help but question Janine’s motives when she suddenly dumps him without warning. Normally things like this didn’t bother the handsome doctor, but the sassy and extremely sexy nurse has already stirred something deep inside of him that can’t be extinguished that easily. He demands answers that only she can give him.

Excerpt: “Kyle, you have no reason to be sorry. I made a huge error in my better judgment. I should never have bombarded you like that. It was neither the time, nor place. I don’t know what I was thinking.”

“It’s just that … it surprised the heck out of me. I honestly thought that things were good between us. I know we had set limits and stuff, but I felt we were headed somewhere more serious. Then when you told me it was over, that we were over.” He turned to her, and reached out to grasp her hands. “I thought we had something special.”

His hands. Janine looked down at them. They were large compared to hers. His fingers were long and thick. They were healing hands. They were hands that had loved her, and caressed the most intimate parts of her body. She thought back to the last time they’d made love. God, it had been delicious.

There had been nothing particularly different about it. Sex with Kyle was always fantastic. Yet, she could still remember how he had felt next to her in bed afterwards, spooning her from the back. His warmth permeated throughout her body as his arms curled around her waist until his hands settled on her belly. He’d unknowingly cradled their unborn child who at the time had been still unknown to her too.

Janine shook. “It isn’t like that, Kyle. I do feel for you.”

“Then what’s the problem?” he asked. A look of utter confusion crossed his handsome face. “I’m at a loss, here Janine.” He cast her a forlorn look.

So many things ran through her head. Too many memories and conflicting emotions filled her. She did care for Kyle, but a baby? She couldn’t begin to fathom how this would change both their lives.

He moved closer and leaned into her. His breath felt hot against her neck. “You must feel something for me?” he whispered, as one strong hand moved up to caress her cheek. “Remember that weekend at the lake?”

She did. How could she ever forget?

“We connected on a deeper level.” His hand moved to the back of her neck. This was a very sensitive spot for her, and he was well aware of that fact. Just feeling his fingers sliding across her skin and their tips delicately brushing was enough to cause her to groan. She did her best to stifle her unwanted reaction. He knew how to push her buttons, and did so in every way imaginable.

She must have looked horrid to him, sitting there in her flannels, her hair askew and her breath… Well, she just hoped it wasn’t too offensive. And then mid-thought, he did it. With one hand firmly planted firmly under her chin, he guided her to his lips.

He tasted like coffee and mint. “We shouldn’t,” she murmured. “We ended this earlier today. We’re over.”

“No.” Kyle placed one finger against her lips. “You ended it. And right now your kiss tells me that you might have second thoughts. You have feelings for me, Janine, and I for you.”

He wasn’t altogether wrong. She did feel for him. But exactly what it was she wasn’t sure. “Kyle, I’m confused. I don’t know what I think or feel anymore. I like you. I really do, but I don’t think that extends anywhere beyond friendship.”

“We were always friends,” he answered. His fingers fumbled with the top button of her pajama top. She gently pushed them away.

“This isn’t going to happen.” And when he tried to kiss her again, Janine turned her head from him. “I think you should leave, now.”

“Janine,” he started, his voice pleading. “Please don’t push me away like that.”

“I’m not pushing, Kyle.” She stood in front of him with both hands planted firm on her hips. “But I can’t go against my feelings simply to make you feel better.” She was determined to stand her ground.

“Okay.” Kyle stood and walked out of the living room and down the hall towards the front door. She followed. He turned before exiting. “I won’t force myself on you. I hope we can at least remain professional at work.” He was gone with only his scent lingering in the air to remind her that he’d been there.

Blurb:

[Ménage and More: Erotic Paranormal Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, shape-shifters, HFN]
Michelle Needham’s sordid rendezvous with hunky Craig Matheson turns into a whole new experience when he reveals that not only does he want to see her again, but so does his best friend, Jack Page. She’s unsure at first, but decides to jump in with both feet and has an unforgettable night with the two men.
The closest of friends for many years, Craig and Jack are ecstatic that they’ve finally found a woman who’s willing to be with both of them. But they’re also worried. While she was accepting of their odd relationship, how will she react when she finds out that the two men are powerful supernatural beings, able to take on the forms of animals at will?
Will the lust triangle survive the incredible revelation, or will it all come crashing down around them? Either way, Michelle is in for a hell of a ride.

Excerpt:

 

Her heart thudded in her ribcage, but she steeled herself and crossed the room. As she walked she unfastened her skirt and let it fall, then pulled her soaking panties down, kicking them to one side.

Craig’s gaze flitted from head to toe, pausing at her breasts and pussy before returning to her eyes. She could hardly blame him, given that she couldn’t stop staring at his body and thick cock. She moved in close and let her fingers brush his cockhead.

They seemed to both freeze in time. Neither making the inevitable move. Michelle steeled herself once more, reminded herself how long it had been, then wrapped her fingers around his cock and squeezed.

“Fuck me, Craig.”

He took in a sharp breath in response, then put his hands on her waist. She cried out in surprise as he lifted her up as if she weighed no more than the pillows on the bed, then laid her on the sheets.

He was over her so fast that it seemed almost inhuman. One hand clasped her breast as the other slid up her thigh. She let out a soft whimper as his fingers ran up the sensitive flesh of her pussy, then slid inside her a short way. As his thumb found her clit, her hands found his shoulders, and she gripped hard as he slid his fingers further inside her, questing and making room for what was to come.

“Oh god,” she muttered. “Oh god, that feels so good.”

“Yeah?” He pushed farther inside her. “How about that?”

She could only gasp in reply as he went to work, fingering her tight pussy. It was like he was a different person. As soon as she had grabbed his cock he had become more confident. That move must have cleared all his nerves, taken him from the odd exchange of two strangers and put him back on familiar ground. He was most certainly in charge now, and Michelle was hardly going to complain.

She writhed against his hand as he worked her clit, his thumb rubbing circles on the tight bundle of nerves. His fingers kept moving, too, massaging the walls of her pussy.

“You’re so soft,” he muttered. “I can’t wait to see how you feel on my cock.”

She bit her lip. “Why don’t we find out?”

Craig grinned, almost wolfishly, and slid his fingers from her. He snatched up the condom from where he’d thrown it onto the bed and tore the foil with his teeth before sliding the rubber over his cock with practiced movements.

Michelle gasped as his thick cockhead pushed against her pussy. It felt so big! There was no way he’d fit inside her. Craig must have noticed her expression and smiled.

“Don’t worry, it’ll fit. We’ll go slow.”

True to his word, he slowly eased forward until his cockhead slipped inside her. He held it there for a moment before retracting again, then pushing back in. Again and again he did the same, though pushing farther inside each time until he was all the way inside her. Michelle gripped his shoulders as he began to build in pace, taking achingly long strokes into her pussy. She pushed and pulled with her hips in time with him, and they quickly built a rhythm, pulling back until he was almost out, then pushing so far in that his balls slapped against her flesh.

God, she hadn’t felt so alive in years. Long before Ed, even. She closed her eyes and let out a long moan as Craig worked her.

“You like that?” he said, his voice breathy. “You like what I’m doing to you?”

“Mmm,” she said, finding words difficult.

“Tell me. Tell me what you like.”

“I love your cock in my pussy,” she managed to gasp.

“Yeah?” His pace increased. The bed creaked beneath them. “And I love pounding your pussy. Just like your message said.”

Normally talking was the last thing from her mind when it came to sex, but he was right about the message. She’d been confident then, and she could be confident now.

“Harder,” she said. “Fuck me harder.”

Craig did as he was told, and Michelle had to fight not to scream in pleasure as he slammed his cock into her harder and faster. The bed thumped against the back wall as he worked, and Michelle felt like she was being pounded through the mattress. This was so different to what she was used to, and now she knew she’d been missing out.

“Faster,” she cried, all thoughts of keeping the noise down gone. “Fuck me, Craig!”

He growled in response and redoubled his efforts. She didn’t know how he could keep up the pace, but she didn’t give a damn. Just as long as he kept it up.

 

Recent reads that I have enjoyed

I'm not only an author, but I am also an avid reader of many genres. I've decided to share with you some of the more recent reads that I have enjoyed over the past year or so. There are more than I have listed here. These are the first few that have stuck out in my mind.

XD

 

Aibileen is a black maid in 1962 Jackson, Mississippi, who's always taken orders quietly, but lately she's unable to hold her bitterness back. Her friend Minny has never held her tongue but now must somehow keep secrets about her employer that leave her speechless. White socialite Skeeter just graduated college. She's full of ambition, but without a husband, she's considered a failure. Together, these seemingly different women join together to write a tell-all book about work as a black maid in the South, that could forever alter their destinies and the life of a small town...

 

Comment: I loved this book. It made me sad in places, but it also had many laugh out loud moments. The characters are original and endearing. Set around the civil rights movement, this is a read not to be missed. Minnie's pie was one of my favorite scenes!

 

Tommy and Nathan Bishop are as different as two brothers can be. Carefree and careless, Tommy is the golden boy who takes men into his bed with a seductive smile and turns them out just as quickly. No one can resist him - and no one can control him, either. That salient point certainly isn't lost on his brother. Nathan is all about control. At thirty-one, he is as dark and complicated as Tommy is light and easy, and he is bitter beyond his years. While Tommy left for the excitement of New York City, Nathan has stayed behind, teaching high school English in their provincial hometown, surrounded by the reminders of their ruined family history and the legacy of anger that runs through him like a scar. Now, Tommy has come home to the family cottage by the sea for the summer, bringing his unstable, sexual powder keg of an entourage - and the distant echoes of his family's tumultuous past - with him. Tommy and his lover Philip are teetering on the brink of disaster, while their married friends, Camille and Kyle, perfect their steps in a dance of denial, each partner pulling Nathan deeper into the fray. And when one of Nathan's troubled students, Simon, begins visiting the house, the slow fuse is lit on a highly combustible mix. During a heady two-week party filled with drunken revelations, bitter jealousies, caustic jabs, and tender reconciliations, Tommy and Nathan will confront the legacy of their twisted family history - the angry, abusive father and the tragic death of their mother - and finally, to the one secret that has shaped their entire lives. It is a summer that will challenge everything Nathan remembers and unravel Tommy's carefully constructed facade, drawing them both unwittingly into a drama with echoes of the past . . . one with unforeseen and very dangerous consequences.

 

Comment: I really enjoyed this book. The characters were refreshing and interesting. Each character had their own story, and I was kept turning the pages as one dramatic scene unfolded after another.

This book isn't for anyone who's easily offended. There's incest frank and scenes of child abuse that could be disturbing to some. I did find that the author handled the topics well, and they weren't just tossed in there for shock value.

 

 

Army Medic, Private Michael Crest, is quite content in his life with the exception of one thing—he’s in need of a good man and has his sights set on another medic, Specialist Jared Prophet. The problem? Jared’s in deep denial about his sexuality. After an unexpected, erotic exchange, Jared decides his only recourse is to distance himself from Michael and plans a trip to his family’s lake-house with friends, which would have worked, if one of his friends hadn’t invited Michael to tag along. As a tropical storm hits the Texas Gulf Coast, the two men give into unbridled passion. But more than the weather gets rough when the storm passes and Jared learns his parents are among the missing. Can the lovers endure the fallout or will unearthed truths prove more devastating than any natural disaster? After all, just because they aren’t gonn a ask, doesn’t mean they want you to tell… 

 

Comment: I liked that practically nothing was perfect for either character. Both had their own stories, and issues which came out as the story progressed. At times Jared came across as an ass, but I can see where he was coming from as certain things about his past were revealed.

 

 

In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital as renowned for its famous clientele -- Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor and Ray Charles.

 

Comment: This is a great autobiography. It gives great insight and shows readers what it was like to have the stigma of mental illness attached to a person(Especially a woman) during the 60's. I'm glad to say that things have changed immensely since then! It shows that as a whole society has come a long way to understanding mental illness.

This book was made into a movie. The two are vastly different in many ways. Lisa is in the book, but her story isn't much like the movie portrayed her. If you're looking for a carbon copy of the money, this book isn't it. So keep that in mind.
