October 2007
Hello and Welcome
to each of you.
I’m back!!!
I just recovered from multiple curve balls, compliments of life. Unfair and foul at times, we all have to deal with that game. J
I also adjusted the heat level and verbiage of all my published books except LaViolette, which is still in the process of such.
What’s new at home?
Temperatures have dropped so it’s nice to open the back door and listen to the waterfalls while I work. Sadly, I lost Teal, my beloved lovebird and, unable to endure her lost song, adopted two parakeets. Now I have occasional squabbles in the kitchen. Petey Boy might be an alpha, but I do believe he’s met his match in Tweety Girl. LOL
What’s coming out?
The heat is on and turned up, the verbiage is hotter and the sensual/erotic aspects are passionate. I went up in flames! LOL The following have been updated, re-released and are better than ever:
A Second Chance: Tarot – King of Cups
A Light in the Dark: Tarot – Four of Pentacles
Home Port: Tarot – Four of Wands

A Cry in the Night: Tarot – The Tower
I always wondered what happens if the blood of a Bitten warped the sanity then who steps in to save the Beast tested and driven by the lunacy of the moon. The vampires do their best to save the Were and Humans alike.
Story Meaning:
The rise of the full moon fills
Talen's hands with Liana in some delightful ways.
Story Introduction:
His heart closed off when his love
was stolen and his focus on his job hindered, Talen turns the tables. The
prospect of powerful arms is strong temptation curbed by concern over her weight
until Liana becomes a werewolf in danger of the lunacy. With all hope of finding
love lost due to a strong fear of repeated pasts, Talen and Liana learn of
love’s ability to survive, but will love endure when the next rising of the full
moon tests their hearts as the vampire does his best to save the Were driven by
the lunacy of the moon?
The Hero:
Six foot tall, muscled and cursed,
Talen is a vampire with a tan complexion, dark sapphire eyes and deep
golden-blond hair.
The Heroine:
Five foot four, curvy and lonely,
Lianna is a bitten with a tan complexion, bright maple brown eyes and waist length light chestnut hair.
The Blurb:
Long before man knew of their
existence, a bond formed which allowed Vampires to protect the Bitten and
destroy the Beast so the Were and Humans survived.
Talen struggles to continue as a Gatherer after the loss of his beloved. When a Bitten stirs his heart, moves his soul and ignites his blood, he fears a repeat of the past, but fate tightens his grip.
Liana longs for someone who will love all of her, plumpness included. Can getting stuck with a handsome new boss change her life forever?
TEASER EXCERPT
Talen opened the throttle and sped toward his destination. In a short time, he slowed, turned onto Arbor Drive and scanned the picturesque area. Situated in perfect little rows, the small, but quaint houses seemed displayed, but cute. He smirked at the number one ninety-seven on an arctic white mailbox.
Too cute. The little powder blue Cape Cod house assessed as he passed, his senses prickled the hair on the nape of his neck. He honed in on the source. At the end of the street, he circled the cul-de-sac, drove back, pulled over and parked under a large oak tree that sheltered much of the road.
Talen turned off his cycle and lifted his face shield. He looked up into the tree above him and leveled his icy gaze on a young nightwalker he didn’t trust. “Evening, Hunter.”
“Gatherer.” His nod of recognition slight, Ditmyer turned his head toward the woman’s house. “Looks like our prey isn’t happy with her caller.”
“She isn’t anyone’s prey and she is my charge, not yours.” He disregarded the shrug and focused his attention on the young woman across the street.
The redheaded vampire landed with almost no sound. “Little heavy for my taste. Cute nightshirt though. She’s your problem. Don’t let her become mine.”
Talen narrowed his eyes. “Your threats are not welcome nor will your services be needed. Hunter.”
Ditmyer proffered a wry grin. “We’ll see.”
“Stay away, Hunter.”
“The Council gives me my orders. Not you, Gatherer.”
What’s the order?
The Tarot Series. This is a series has no specific order, but involves many eXtasyBooks authors and has been in the works since 2004. It is hoped to go to print and possibly become a deck of cards.
The publisher’s dream. When our publisher started this ‘here is a picture, write me a story’, several authors jumped on for the ride. Our beloved publisher, Tina, in her creative endeavors, designed and handed all her authors a beautiful and interesting photo. Hence the birth of
eXtasy’s Collective Mind anthology
This series has four parts.
Violet Visions. In print. This anthology is a variety of stories by fifteen eXtasy authors.
Atlantis Allure. In the works. This anthology is a variety of stories.
There is a third and fourth to this spectacular collection, but some secrets must be kept. LOL
LaViolette: the Saga will be released in order and is planned for a release every four months. The reason for this is a glitch in the story I must fix and turning up the heat.
The first two, LaViolette: Conviction Awakened and LaViolette: Adaptation, will be re-released just as fast as I can complete them.
Into the Lair (pending release mid-January 2008)
Again, welcome and I am so happy to have you in the group!
