Sunday Snog!



This week's snog comes from an upcoming release, Until the Night. I really enjoy this story and it's a first for me. It's a menage with four partners. Talk about a lot of body parts! I hope you enjoy this taste of the story as much as I enjoyed writing the entire tale. Grin.

“Sorry.”

“Don’t be.” He stepped into her apartment and closed the door. “You’re paler than normal.” Kendall put both hands up. “I know. Vampires are pale. But this isn’t like you.” He curled his fingers under her chin. “What can I do?”

Her heart hammered. What could he do? Get naked and take her on the couch, then offer his neck, that’s what he could do. Help her slake her need for sustenance and sex then confess he liked her for more than a friend.

Like that would happen. He had a girlfriend, last time she’d checked.

“Just tired.”

“I see that. When did you sleep last?”

“I haven’t.”

“Or fed, either.”

“It’s been a while.”

“Then I’ve got just what you need—a hot and hunky male to share your bed.” His eyebrows bobbed. “Like someone tall, blond and handsome who has lots of blood he’s willing to part with in the name of rescue.”

She laughed despite her tears. “Don’t tell me you’re applying. That’s one of the most horrible come-on lines I’ve heard.”

Kendall cupped her jaw in both hands. Hunger shone amongst the green and blue flecks in his eyes. He worked the muscle in his jaw and the light caught the subtle colour changes of brown and gold in the scruff on his cheeks. She gulped to catch the breath she didn’t need. No heartbeat meant oxygen didn’t help her body like it had when she’d been alive. God, she wanted to be amongst the living and for things would be normal again.

“Would you rather I be blunt?” He kissed the tip of her nose. “I want you. I don’t care if you’re a vampire or if you have those two guys who hang out over here. You infiltrate my thoughts and make me think about you when you’re not in the same room.”

“Me?”

WIP Wednesdays

It's time for the WIPs. What's in the works. Grin.

I got to take a ride on the Clandestine Classics train and did my take on The Phantom of the Opera. Kinky. It's finally in and in line edits so I can talk about it.

I've got another super secret project to complete and since it's ALMOST there, I'm a happy girl. Let's just say there are toys, a flogger, a crop and a sex table involved. Grin.

Until the Night, the follow up to My Immortal has been contracted by Total-E-Bound. Should be out in February-ish. Just in time for Valentine's Day. Gypsy, Kendall, Todd, AND Allan. Yeah, it gets crazy in there!!!

I've still got the same should-be done books in the pile waiting patiently. Unless Flash sends me a plot bunny--which is very possible. Today is Wednesday. Oh well. Back to the bat cave. :-)

WIP Wednesday


trebuchet / 123RF Stock Photo


WIP time!! Woo hoo! Okay, so what's happening? I'm over my head in edits. Yep. I've had... four in the last two weeks? Sounds about right. One was a quick tweak to make it right for a submission. One was something I should've done in the first place. The other two are hardcore edits. Thankfully one is done and the other is started.

I'd been kicking around what to do with Gypsy for what seemed like forever. You remember, don't you? Yeah, well, she got her story. And it's DONE! Yep. Talk about being covert. I wasn't even trying to. Just got totally swept up in getting it done. And phew! She's getting more than she ever dreamed. Allan and Todd are there and so is Kendall. Yep, its the first MMFM I've ever written. It could be longer and I'd love to make a sequel to it. We'll see. But it's done and in editor's hands. Doesn't mean much, but it's off.

I'm debating taking a free read I wrote, making it longer and self pubbing it. Thoughts? Ideas? I've got cover art lined up. I mean, the story is started. Grin. Is it the way to go or am I totally off my rocker? Thoughts welcome.

Okay, time to go back to the bat cave. I've got a new story that needs working on and a very short deadline. Let me know what you think!

Five Sentence Friday~

Hmm... What do we have... flipping through the WIP... five saucy sentences...

This might work. Yes, I think it will. Enjoy!!!



“No.” Allan massaged his temple, then grabbed his phone. “I’m not in the mood.” He punched the buttons. “Not in the least.”

Flirty Friday




I love Flirty Friday because I get to share what's new and next for me as a writer. Today, I'm being interviewed on CR Moss' blog!! Yeah! Click here to read it. I'm stoked. She was here on Wednesday. If you didn't read the interview, well, you should. It was fun.

What else is new? I'm doing NaNo. Yup. Sicko that I am, I'm going to give it a whirl. Why? I don't actually have a novel ready to write. Yeah, I need to get either Summer or Maggie's story written, but they aren't talking. So what am I gonna do? This should prolly stay a secret, but I'm positive I am not the only person to do this. I've got three shorts that need done. One that's 25k (or should be), another that's the same length, and one that's roughly 16k. Kinda need to get those going. So...NaNo here I come! Megan's joining me, so it should be a blast. Still not sure what's up with Gypsy, but really, the girl dances - literally - to her own drum, so anything is possible.

That's all for now. Check out the interviews. You'll be glad you did!

Flirty Friday and a Review Link!



So Treble was reviewed by Miz Loves and I do believe it was a hit! Here's the link:
http://www.mizlovelovesbooks.com/2011/10/treble-by-desiree-holt-lisabet-sarai.html

The Pwoar Factor: "Parkur in Savin’ Me: The more emotional of the two men, he tugged at the old heart strings and proved that when you’re broken-hearted, sometimes it doesn’t enhance the muse but hinders it. When love returns, so do the words and the feeling of being complete. Ah!"

Verdict: "Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot! Treble delivers not only hot sex scenes but each tale is a fine one, rich in descriptive writing and plot. With each story you get the whole package. Yes, the sex is very much there, but it doesn’t overrule the story itself and never intrudes as sex for the sake of it. I liked that. "

Pretty Darn Cool.


In other news, still working on Gypsy, Felicity and Berto and Remi. Sigh. Not enough hours in the day to keep my muses happy. I'm taking part in lots of things coming up, so stay tuned.

On to writing to keep the muses from mutiny. :-)

Monday Moans ~ Allan O'Sullivan



I've lived a long time. I've loved enough people to know who I truly care about. So why do certain people drive me to the brink of insanity?

My name is Allan O'Sullivan. I've put up with a lot. I fought in the American Civil War. I've been hungry, tired, soaked to the bone. I can deal with a lot. There's one thing, well, no, one person I just can't...understand how to relate to.

She drives me to the edge. It's like everything is a game to her and nothing's serious. I try to explain things and she just blows it off.

Even Todd coddles her. He doesn't put up with anything from anyone. It's like he enjoys her spontaneity.

Am I the one who doesn't belong? He's my mate. The frustration I feel isn't wrong, is it? I don't know if I want to share him, but she seems to be in every last part of our lives--well, except the sex. So far that's not been a problem.

Maybe I'm overreacting. I mean, she's just our friend and a twenty-something girl lost. She doesn't understand her needs as a vampire.

Sigh.

One of these days we'll get this all straightened out...well, what can be straightened out.

I guess my Monday Moan was more of a moan than a mooooaaaaaaan. Sorry.

Flirty Friday

So it's Friday. Time to talk about what's on the schedule, what's coming up, and what I'm up to.

On the Schedule?

Ok, I had a guest coming 8/15, but circumstances have put the interview off for a time. Nichelle, my heart goes to you.


Monday! Monday! Monday! On Monday, I'm talking about my latest release, Ever Fallen in Love. This is a near and dear to my heart because it's got a racing arc to it and it's the first ever thing I'd written. It's very much edited and revised since that originally penning. But in celebration of the release, I'm having a contest. Want to take part? Win a GC to Amazon, BN or TEB? Stop back and comment on Monday about your great love. Easy Peasy. And while you're at it, Please Remember Me comes out from Total-E-Bound in print. Want a copy? Click here. It's sure to be a treat.

What else is happening next week? I'm the Spotlight Author over on Whipped Cream. Cool, huh? There's a contest going over there, too. Read my spotlights. You'll learn new things about me and should have some fun.

What's Coming Up?

I'm chatting on the Whipped Cream Yahoo loop on 8/27. Come on over and have a blast for the Anniversary Bash. You could win a kindle, nook or $150 GC to Amazon or BN. Cool, eh?

September 11th, I'm blogging over on Hitting the Hot Spot. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to talk about as well, it's a heavy day. But come check it out and maybe we can swap stories.

September 12th - Treble Antholgy releases from Total-E-Bound. I'm really psyched about it because it's the first anthology I've ever taken part in. Parkur, Jacoby, and Juniper were fun to write and I hope the fun I had translates into the story.

What am I up to?

I'm always working on Gypsy's story. Seems she gets sullen and doesn't want to cooperate. It happens.

I've had a request for me to finish my firefighter story. I gave bits of it to a friend and she wanted to know how the whole thing comes together. Might have to dust that one off and get moving on it.

I'm still wavering on finishing the sequel to Careless Whisper. Lis really wants her story told, but I don't know. Thoughts?

Anyway...unless I'm helping Megan or working with the CPs I'm going to get some writing done this week. (I hope.)

Friday Flirts ~ This is the Day....

So I sat down to write my weekly Friday Flirts post when I happened to be channel surfing, too. I mean, are there people who don't multitask and watch tv while listening to the ipod? Probably. And they are the energy saavy. Sorry. Not one of them. I have the attention span of a gnat sometimes.

Point is, I was watching the good ole VH1 Classic, kept typing Vlassic...must be a pickle reference...and happened on Empire Records.

Now I don't know about you, but that's like a slice of my high school life. No, I didn't work at an awesomely cool record store (but yes, I know what a record is and have many of them). I worked at a teeny tiny not quite department store that's no longer in business. And no, I didn't work with anyone nearly as super hunky as Johnny Whitworth or Rory Cochrane. Trust me. If I had, I would have soooo many more ideas in the memory bank.

So now that I've totaly rambled, I promise, I'll get to the point. It made me think of those songs and those times during high school. I wrote What Might Have Been thinking about my high school days. Good times. And speaking of good times, I've had some requests for Berto and Remi's story. I'm not sure how much they'll want to tell me, but hey, I'm game.

I'm still plugging away on Gypsy's story. She's being...well...Gypsy. I'll get there.

Turned in the prequel to Tangled Up, so for those of you who loved Arran and Mindy and wanted to know the whole story...well, fingers crossed.

I've got a story about a couple of teachers brewing, so we'll see where that goes. Got a request for Rhett's story and one for Felicity. Oh and while I'm at it, I'm supposed to write Maggie and Ray a story, as well as flesh out the one for Summer. Sheesh. I'll be busy.

Good thing I like busy. TTFN.

Flirty Friday

It's that time of the week...Friday Flirts...

I've got to say I've been busy and whew...the week flew by. So what's on the docket? Funny you should ask.

Gypsy keeps making an appearance in my head. She's infatuated with the Katy Perry song E.T.. "Let me dance to it. Please?!?!?!?!?!" She even crawled into the head of my CP and begged her, too. Sad. So, she got a playlist. I'll get back to her. Can't let her lead all the time.

I also subbed a story to Liquid Silver a couple weeks ago. Remember farmer? Yup. It's his story. Who knows if they'll take it, but I tried. He'll find a home somewhere.

I worked with Megan on her elemental story. She went ahead and subbed it. We'll see. I'm psyched about it.

I had a lot of people ask for Arran and Mindy's story. I heard the song Someone Like You, by Adele and was totally ready to pen it. It' got the pain from all three people involved and it also shows a fragile strength. I hope that shows in the final story as well. I'm 11k into it. Hope to have it done soon.

And for those who wondered, I am working on a story for Berto and Remi. They weren't forgotten. Goofy men. I'm also working on the outline for Rhett's story. He's been...difficult. Oh well. If he was easy (well, he's easy, but that's beside the point), he'd be done.

That's all for now. Enjoy the tunes. :-)

Monday Moans

I didn't do a Monday Moan today because my character, Gypsy, didn't show up. Imagine that. I trust her to follow a schedule and she bails. Oh well. I've got a great Tasty Tuesday lined up and hopefully either she'll cooperate on Wednesday or Thursday. Wouldn't cooperation be a thank you?

Friday Flirts

So... it's Friday again. I have lots in the works and little of it completed. Not enough time in the day.

My Immortal comes out at the end of the month and Gypsy is dying (pardon the pun) for her own story. She claims she needs love like anyone else. So... I plot with her help.

You'llm Think of Me comes out November 22, and already, Rhett wants a story. Now I'm pretty sure I said he did before, but he's begun screaming in my head.

And lastly, Please Remember Me the working title for the follow-up to Logan and Cass's story--Jade gets a starring role, is written, but in desperate need of attention. But if you can find me the time, I'll gladly take it.

So much for now.

Toodles!
