Hump Day Reflections!

All he wanted was to be with her. Nothing mattered without this mermaid at his side. For years he's been lost without his people. He's come down to the beach and looked out at the sea, waiting for someone to come and call him back home.

A merman, yes, that's what he was, and Tara was one of his mates.

It had been so long since he'd held a mermaid in his arms. Too long. The silken scales tempted him to look and see her in all her beauty. Watch her fins as they fluttered with the lust she felt. She belonged with him, and he knew she'd be beautiful in her natural form. But he'd see her that way later, when they were back in the water. Right now he didn't want to loose the connection between them. Their kiss created an important in his life.

It felt right to be with her. If only they were both in their true forms, only then would he know they'd be together forever.

As if there were someone waiting to grant his every wish, in that moment his life righted itself. His own scales started coming back. Racing down his legs, merging the two together and ending with a unfurling florish of his fins. His need for her rose even further and finally he found the strength to pull away from her lips.

"My love, will you accept me as your mate?"

"Oh Mark, I didn't know you were a merman already!"

"Each day I came down here to watch the water and hope one of my mates came to me. If I'd know the sexy and tempting human sitting on the beach, the one I walked by each morning was mine, I would have kissed you all the sooner."

"Yes! Of course I accept you!"

"Then let's return to the sea and make love amongst the waves."

"Not so fast. No flattering words about the shine of my scales or the perfect buoyancy of my breasts, nothing? I was easy and horny in human form, but you ignored me. Maybe as a mermaid I require a little wooing."

"Come on. The big waves are ready to roll in and I promise to ride you down the face while I feast on your stupendous tits, if you'll forgive me."

"Forgiven! Let's go."

Where will I go this month?

Okay, in this instance, a picture is worth a thousand words. I'll need to make sure and pack plenty of sunscreen and a hat, but I can already feel the soft sand beneath my feet as I find my spot on Vabbinfaru, Maldives, in the Indian Ocean. Maybe I'll just lie down on my belly right there in the shallows and read.

Works for me.

A bit of random ridiculousness...

I think the cutie has worked our travel plans to be in the US for today and the opening of The Simpsons! We've been gone, but he dashed in to the office to submit his expenses, go out to lunch with the gang and be back in time to take me to the 3:05 show.

Doh!

I wonder if I'll get a donut instead of my usual Rasinettes...hmmm, I don't think I'd fuss much over that.

Hump Day Reflections!

Tara felt him start to pull away, to look at what he was touching, but she didn't want to let him go, she couldn't. His kiss was as delicious as she knew it would be but she also needed their connection. She also didn't want to see disgust on his face when he finally saw her body.

She really couldn't believe her luck to have found a corporal heart mate. It's been almost a full year since she arrived and there was only one time and one way for her to return home, and it seemed Mark had what she needed.

The moment their lips met, opened and their tongues tangled, she felt the change overtake her. It all happened so quickly and painlessly. From just above her feminine mound and up over her hips, green shimmery scales spread out and covered her flesh. Within a few breaths her legs were fused and fins replaced her feet.

He was her other half, her heart beat and her body throbbed for him. Only such a person could bring this change about and send her back home. Her problem was she could pull him into her world beneath the sea. If she didn't stop kissing him soon, he'd start to become the merman for her mermaid.

Tears gathered beneath her lids, she didn't want to leave him but it was time to pull away from, she was cutting it too close. She gathered her strength and released her hold on his head so he could back away, but he didn't!

Instead, he deepend their kiss even further. She felt his hand skim over her scaley hip and brought her feminine core over to press against his hard cock. My god, he made her want to keep him but she knew it wasn't fair, he didn't know what he was doing by continuing their connection.

Tara tried again to move her mouth away from his and finally used her hands on his shoulders to push him away. When a mere breath of air separated them she rushed to explain why he couldn't keep kissing her.

"Stop Mark, you must stop kissing me otherwise you'll loose your legs and be destined to live eternity beneath the waves you love to ride." Her breath came out in great pants, but she saw understanding light his eyes.

He leaned over and placed a brief kiss on her lips, releasing her tears. This was goodbye forever and she'd miss him and watching him watch the sea. Then his mouth - no, what was he doing!

Zandia is OUT!

Centuries from now, and millions of miles away, how are the sexes getting along?

Zandia, the farthest planet in the known universe, is usually peaceful, but they're about to have their views on women blown apart.

Sui Erom has taken drastic measures to live as suits her, not society. Hiding on a transporter, she leaves her home planet for another world. Working as a translator, she feels intelligent and productive, if not entirely fulfilled. She has been unable to find a mate who satisfies any of her physical needs or one to trust with her heart.

The Zandian national speedball team comes to town for a Universal competition and sets in motion events that force Sui to make a decision on what exactly she wants from life.

Listening to the official translator's voice, Xer Rieh realizes she is Zandian and asserts his right to mark her as his. He does not believe her claim that she is not Zandian - despite evidence supporting it. Xer is certain she is and will not be denied.

Marked, Claimed, Bound and Enthroned, when Sui and Xer get together, nothing will ever be the same, especially for the women of Zandia!

A mini book trailer has been made to tempt your senses even further...or you could get your fingers moving and head over to Samhain Publishing to pick up your copy.

I'm talking books!

Here's some very exciting news:

This month "An Invitation to the World: Russia and New Zealand" is the staff pick for the Romance Junkies book club!

I'll be over on their yahoo group Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday talking about books - all my books :-)

Hump Day Reflections!

Mark didn't know what had hold of him, lust, passion, the devil, whatever it was, he couldn't deny her pull. Tara shifted and he moved in, laying his lips against hers.

They were lovely, plump, and spread open further beneath his. Dipping his tongue through the crease, tasting coffee and salt, as if she'd already been out swimming in the sea. He needed more of her essence and delved deeper, tangling his tongue with hers. They circled around each and he fell under her spell. As she tilted her head further to the side, he knew she wanted what he did - to feel her softness against his hard body. While he pressed in for even more of their kiss, he started to lay her down on the sand.

He was sure he'd knocked over her coffee as he rolled on top of her, but didn't care. Touching her, kissing her, having her, was all that mattered now.

Shifting his hand down, he found the zipper on her sweatshirt and slowly moved it down. Whene he felt flesh beneath his shifting hand, Mark pulled away from her lips and looked down to find she had nothing on beneath the covering. No bathing suit top, bra, nothing but pearly white skin and, oh shit! She possessed the most divine set of breasts he'd ever seen. They were large, a handful, he used his own hand to measure the mound and with a little squeeze, the cherry point popped out, making his mouth water to taste.

Leaning down he dragged the flat of his tongue over the tip and drew groans of pleasure from her. Placing his leg between hers, he started to feast on her ripe nipple while tempting her to bump and grind against him in need. Oh, he knew exactly what she wanted, to fuck, and so did he.

Fluttering away on the morning breeze was his common sense - who cared if they were seen, he had to get inside her pussy and quickly. He let the breast he was holding go and slid his hand down over her belly and felt her body quiver.

"It's all right," he whispered after releasing her nipple. Bracing himself above her, he looked down at her face and found lust painted across her features. Her lips were opened and panting, her eyelids lowered seductively over her beautiful blue eyes and her cheeks were glowing.

His hand moved past her belly button and suddenly stopped...what the fuck?!? The sensual face was now looking at him with a guarded expression. He was confused, what was that teasing his fingertips?

to be continued...

Simply Fabulous!

The bright spot on today is...I have the cover for the next 'A Passion for Fashion and Bondage' book and it's stunning! So here you go, a lovely peek at "Taming Marie Antoinette".

It looks great next to the first book "The Leather Bride" in the series. I can't wait to finish "The Gilded Cage" to see them all together :-)

Naughty Thought for Monday

The cutie and I were on the couch Sunday, reading our Harry Potter's [yup, we're still on track to finish the series in time :-)] and as usual the tube was left on BBCAmerica in hopes of something interesting...oh boy, we hit on a doozer!

It was an hour documentary about real dolls and the men who love them. I thought it was guys who liked dolls, sad childhood and all that...the cutie figured it out that it was about guys who have sex with real dolls. I no words or thoughts to offer this time, all I can do is give you a couple of pics.

The Female - Nika:


Can also be altered with products to be a SheMale.


And the Male - Charlie:



We were gobsmacked! Who says the Brits are uptight!?!

If you are interested in my information, contact RealDoll.

Now close your mouth - I'm sure it's hanging open :-)

Tagged and late in doing it!

The lovely Lori tagged me a while ago and I apologize for taking so long to do it...so here is some serious unknowns about me.

1. My great grandfather and his brother both brought their families to America then left them to make there lives somewhere else - Hollywood! They changed their names and the brother made it as an actor then even bigger as a director. In the early twenties he was murdered and it reamins unsolved today.

2. Sterling Holloway, the original voice of Winnie the Pooh, used to sit at the front of the local supermarket with his cane and talk with us kids while our parents and his nurse shopped.

3. We used to go grunion running during the summer - its disgusting so I won't go into too much detail. Basically you go to the beach at high tide during a full/new moon, then run through the surf while the grunion are mating. Memories are full of squishy blech moments.

4. Disneyland has a jail underneath the park and the walls are painted with the spotted elephants from Fantasia.

5. I went to a football game abroad before the stadium was changed over to seating. I didn't see any other women in the stands and wore white jeans - to this day the cutie still can't get past my wearing them.

6. The cutie and I bought our first car together - a used red fiesta with a sun roof, because you really need one of those where we lived [NOT!] - and never took it for a test drive. And yet we never had any serious problems with it.

7. When I lived abroad I used to have to check in with the police within 48 hours of returning from a trip out of the country. I would go to the edge of town in a large stone building, to a door covered in barbed wire and cameras, ring the bell and wait for an officer. I would hand over my passport and then they'd escort me to a locker where I had to leave all my things before being closed into an all glass room and wait to be interviewed. The woman was very friendly, asking me what I did while I was gone and how I was doing with school. After about 15 minutes she'd hand me back my id and passport and send me on my way. She was very nice but everything I said was noted into my special little green id which I still have. Scary.

8. I bought a Playgirl for an article - seriously - and the flustered attendant double bagged it for me. If she only knew what I wrote!

Phrew, there you go, some insight into Tilly. I'm not going to tag anyone - its the holidays! Enjoy :-)

A bit of random ridiculousness...

Oh, this one is good...it's Friday the 13th and I'm off to the doctors!

I'm going with the concept that all the bad luck assigned to the day will have an opposite effect on me today - told you, I'm a positive thinker :-)

UPDATE: They lost my appointment so I try again on Tuesday unless it hits emergency stage - positive thinking has taken a solid hit to the gut today :-(

Thursday 13 - #14!

On July 6th a favored author of mine passed away. Kathleen E. Woodiwiss was a master in the historical romance since her first book The Flame and the Flower back in 1972, an instant NYTimes Bestseller ["creating literary precedence"] and remains an all time favorite of mine. I was looking forward to her next book, Everlasting, noted as coming out October 2007, hopefully it still will.

There aren't many of these for me, less than 10, but yes, she was one of my automatic buys - hardcover, anthology, whatever, I was there on release day.

So, in her memory, here are the 13 books she wrote over an impressive 35 year career.

1. The Flame and the Flower - ebook available

2. The Wolf and the Dove - ebook available

3. Shanna - ebook available

4. Ashes in the Wind - ebook available

5. A Rose in Winter - ebook available

6. Come Love a Stranger - ebook available

7. Beyond the Kiss, Married at Midnight

8. Petals on the River - ebook available

9. The Elusive Flame - ebook available

10. So Worthy My Love - ebook available

11. Forever in Your Embrace - ebook available

12. A Season Beyond a Kiss - ebook available

13. The Reluctant Suitor - ebook available

It looks like HarperCollins are starting to give all these books new covers, but I'm not all that keen on them. They show a single woman in various outdoor scenery...and appear kind of blah.

Hump Day Reflections!

Oh man, how intoxicating. Her pussy throbbed to life when she heard his voice. It was deep, resonated through her core and reminded her of the lust he brought with him each morning. He had an accent, foreign, although she wasn't sure from where.

She was instantly lost in his touch - his big rough hand holding hers. He said something, she wasn't sure what but gave her name and hoped that was a good response. If not, too bad, she was too busy falling into his beautiful blue eyes, surrounded by the most lush eyelashes she's ever seen on a man.

This close she could see lovely lips, strong straight nose, and a tempting bald head. She wanted to smooth her hands over the tanned dome, pull his mouth to hers and kiss him as she followed him down to the sand. From a distance he'd been gorgeous, face to face like they were, she easily decided she was his to do with as he willed.

Should she fall back on the sand, spread her arms out wide and welcome him to her body? Start to pull her clothes off? Hmmm, neither where something she'd normally do...but she had to do something.

Mark, that's what he'd said. It must be his name. Yes, it suited him.

Without pulling her eyes from his, she noticed in her peripheral his firm chest with a perfect patch of hair. Not too much, but enough to tease with her fingers or tickle her nose. Her pussy beat a wilder rhythm, she needed more from him and soon.

The silence wasn't awkward or strained, and it seemed to be without limits. However, there was a scent in the wind today that told her time was running out. The big waves would be here soon.

She moved to put her cup of coffee down on the sand and at the same time, he leant forward.

Was he going to kiss her?

Where will I go this month?

Krabi, south of Thailand, is called the emerald of the Andaman Sea.

Okay, this month is not going to be relaxing. Simple really, I eat nothing from the sea. I found out a few weekends ago, it's weird that I grew up at the beach and don't like swimming with fish. Yes, I know they're there, I just don't acknowledge or look for them...in fact I'm out of water the minute I notice the slimmy things. Although I did love swimming with the cutie and a friendly giant turtle who decided he liked our lazy body surfing ways and joined us.

This months three boats have me thinking there's lots of fish around here - but the water is tempting, looks nice and cool. Maybe if I ignore the...did I mention I do a fabulous Flipper impersonation? And when the dolphins and whales come by, it's wonderful, oh and the seals...okay, I'm working with the positives here...

A bit of random ridiculousness...

Okay, this site was floating around one of my loops and so, on a whim, I took the test to rate my blog...



What a hoot! I'm thinking he didn't read any of my Naughty Thoughts, Hump Day Reflections or knows what BDSM, bondage, erotic or sexy means :-)

Thursday 13 - #13!

Not too long ago I did a TT on what was happening 30 years ago, during the summer of 1977 when Punk Rock ruled in the US and UK. Well, let's go back a little further still, say 40 years to 1967 and the Summer of Love!

1. San Francisco
2. Haight-Ashbury - been here recently and, while I wasn't there back in during its heigh day, I have a feeling it's much more commercial now. However, there is a lovely cafe called The Pork Shop - a must try if you can handle the lines to get in.
3. Monterey Pop Festival
4. Himi Hendrix - the best rendition of the US national anthem EVER!
5. Janis Joplin
6. Free Love
7. Flower Power
8. Timothy Leary - oddly enough, there's a spot in my hometown where rumor has it he set up a couple of teepees and people went out there to drop out [take LSD]. Don't know if it really happened, but everytime I drive around the big bend in the canyon I look over to that spot and wonder about this.
9. Drugs
10. Hippies
11. Long hair
12. Jesus shoes
13. Peace

An interesting period of time in the US - and how odd this period and the summer Punk ruled were exactly ten years apart. These two periods couldn't be more different from each other, but I have to wonder, if ten years separated these two, what will be happening in 2017?

Hump Day Reflections!

Up until two weeks ago he’d never seen her before, now she was here every morning drinking a cup of something hot when he came down. The first couple of days it felt odd to share the beach with another person, now he looked forward to seeing her tow blonde head as he hit the sand. There was a glow about her that turned his head away from the surf and toward sex.

While he sat out in the water on his board, trying to ignore his hard-on and find a peaceful place to start the day, more often than not he’s found himself thinking about her. His wild imagination has attached all sorts of things to her, but when he came back in, none of it seemed to fit.

Besides feeling like his body was high jacked by his libido, there were another thing that was odd about her. On some mornings she appeared to be a child, maybe a teen, while other times it seemed more likely she was in her twenties. This only made him more curious about her.

Who was she? Why was she here so early in the morning? What did she really look like? He knew she was blonde and had intense green eyes, but that was about it. She never stood up when he was looking and was always gone by the time he got out. Instead she sat there, with her arms crossed around her legs, holding them against her chest. Usually she wore a sweatshirt and shorts, so he has seen her shins, but nothing else.

This morning he made his way down the path to the private cove and as he came out of the last bend, he looked up and smiled. There she was. Today he was determined to find out some answers to his questions.

Following his usual path, he was almost upon her when she looked up, smiling at him as she always did. He nodded, but instead of continuing on, he walked over to join her. Laying his board down on the sand, he sat down and put his hand out to shake hers.

“Hi, I’m Mark.”

Wow, the touch of her hand in his went straight down to his dick, making it throb with immediate need for attention. This was a connection like he’s never had before. He didn’t want to drop it, but he wanted, no needed, her to touch him - all over. Waiting for her to answer, he fell further into her gaze. The orbs sparkled and, like a riptide, pulled him closer to her.

“I’m Tara.”

to be continued...

Birthdays! Oh what glorious days they are!

Today is the blonde amazon's birthday - enjoy, and ummm, how old are you again?!?

And, it's also the Dark Ice Goddess' - Selene Illyria and she's celebrating big time, sharing the day with everyone. So I suggest you head over to her blog and participate - she has some great prizes on offer :-) It runs from July 6th so hurry up!

Naughty thought for Monday

Hmmm... Sexy? Funny? Or no way would I be caught in shoes with those cuffs!

A bit of random ridiculousness...

Well, it's been an interesting month...don't ask me where it went because I've been under the weather and slow in making it back up to snuff. What does this mean? When the cutie hasn't been taking him here and there, I've been on the couch reading. Now, if you've read this blog at all, you know I promised my nephew I'd start and finish the Harry Potter series in time to pick up the last one once it's released. Thus far, I'm a third of the way through the 4th so think I'll make it - or be very close.


Anyway, delaying the inevitable edits, I took the Hogwarts Sorting Hat test and wouldn't you know it - I'm Hufflepuff! Not firmly though, because while I was a 91 for the Huffs, I was 88 for Gryffyndor and 81 for Raveclaw...Slytherin was a mere 30 so no chance of that one.

Thursday 13 - #12!

Yeah, it is officially the first day of Summer! What does this mean to me?

1. Sun!
2. Sand!
3. Surf!
4. Sunscreen!
5. watermelon
6. bikinis
7. fruity cocktails like Lapu Lapus
8. sunglasses
9. shorts, t-shirts and thongs
10. umbrella
11. bbq's
12. tan lines - blech!
13. BOOKS!

There are others like Beach Boys, Gidget, the smell of zinc oxide [childhood memory, sunscreen has moved on], bonfires, oh and roasting marshmallows. Actually they are all obvious for me, but what about you? What says summer to you?

A bit of random ridiculousness...

I don't cook.

Everybody in my family knows it, friends do, the cutie most definitely does, and yet, I just took part in a cookbook. Seriously! And yes, it has recipes for real food! Anyway, yesterday I received my copy in the mail and there it is, pages 168-169:

Poor Man Taco's by Tilly Greene






Order a copy and try it out...all the proceeds go toward supporting the "troop project".

Available from Samhain Publishing through Amazon.

Thursday 13 - #11!

30 years ago this summer Punk Rock ruled in the US and UK. Here are 13 things from this wild time.

1. Sex Pistols
2. The Clash - a timeless band!
3. Ramones
4. Buzzcocks
5. Vivienne Westwood's bondage pants - hmmm, I'm thinking these should show up in one of my stories - maybe somewhere in the 'A Fashion for Passion and Bondage' series!
6. The Mohawk
7. Piercings
8. "God Save the Queen"
9. Dr Marten Boots - have the shoes but no steel caps [the cutie does and if he forgets and wears them to the airport, the bells are ringing!]
10. Safety Pins
11. Tartan
12. British Flag - did you know there is a right side up to this flag? If it's upside down, you're in distress, but what if you don't know which way is up?
13. Anarchy


Not too long ago I listed my singles collection, filled with obscure punkers, but this one is in the album collection. Alvin is cool!

Hump Day Reflections!

There was something about him, something both dangerous and mysterious that drew her to watch for him. Every morning he paddled out beyond the break and sat on his board looking west while she sat on the shore looking in the same direction.

They didn't know each other, although, like her, she assumed he was here waiting for the big wave season to start. And, apparently, they also had in common the enjoyment of the peace found on the sand first thing. By ten this place will be hopping, but she liked the quiet and it seemed he did as well.

For the past two weeks she'd walk down here to start the day with a cup of coffee and in a calm state of mind. She was usually here about ten minutes before the buff surfer would stride by. From day one it's played out the same way, him looking in her direction with a small smile and a nod, but no words, on his way into the water. Her bladder always managed to shift her from her place before he came back in, so that was there routine.

She wondered what he was like. Was he smart, could he hold a conversation, or was he all about the next wave. Did he have a deep voice? Or was he foreign and spoke with an accent? She hoped he didn't have one of those stupid lazy drawls that wave rider wanna be's adopt, thinking it's cool.

If he did then she knew it would kill the lust he inspired. She wasn't shallow or easy, but this man pushed all her buttons and she'd like to give him a ride. Run her hands over his hard chest, down his sides and around to hold on to his taught ass. Or to feel those strong arms wrap around her and hold her close to him...feel his hard-on press against her belly.

From what she'd seen thus far, his cock was impressive beneath his board shorts, so naked it had to be awesome! She felt her nipples harden and a throb start to beat low in her pussy just thinking about getting down to fulfilling some serious lust-filled fantasies with her silent surfer.

Taking a sip from her cup, she felt the positive vibe for the day start to build. Maybe today everything will be different.

to be continued...

Naughty Thought for Monday

Hmmm, I think there is only one option here:


No flippin' way!

A bit of random ridiculousness...

Okay, I've been ill this week, but here is something that made me laugh...enjoy!

Never Argue with a Woman:

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

A bit of random ridiculousness...

As a child, the start of summer came around Memorial Day when my Mom would take us to the shoe store and pick up a new pair of Bernardo sandals [Mistral's in white]. When I was older, and could walk in thongs without making an obnoxious noise, then those were bought. It usually meant a few nasty stubbed big toes but the tootsies were free so I was happy.






Yesterday I went out and bought two pairs of cheap and cheerful thongs - light pink and soft blue. Like books I have thongs dotted all over the place.

Where will I go this month?

A romantic looking sunset at The Bath's in Devil's Bay National Park, British Virgin Islands, The Caribbean. It looks perfect for a cool dip with the Cutie at the end of a heat filled day. Sigh, yes, I could go there right now...have to go, thunderstorms rumbling around.

Sigh, yup, I could go right now!

Thursday 13 - #10!

1. Leather
2. Bondage
3. Safe Words
4. Mis-communication Woes

8. Plugs [yes, plural]

10. Differences Between How Men and Women Think
11. Love
12. Forgiveness
13. SURPRISE - a scene on the runway that can't be missed :-)

The Leather Bride by Tilly Greene is OUT!

What are reviewers saying:

“...The Leather Bride is a terrific example of BDSM erotic romance and I am sure many readers will end up searching for more of Ms. Greene's enchanting work.” Susan White, 4 cups, Coffee Time Romance

“The sensuality and exploration of trust between her characters is breathtaking. Tilly Greene's characters take her readers on a high paced page turner.” Reviewed by Kerensa Wilson, 4.5 ribbons, Romance Junkies

Do you have a passion for fashion and bondage?

Mimi St. John is an intelligent, successful, woman in a committed relationship, or so she thought. After dropping hints and finally getting a small taste of what she truly wanted from her lover, being bound and taken, he leaves.

Rick Milston has known from the first moment he saw his lover that she was the only one for him. They suit each other perfectly. As they make the steps to start down a new path, life rears it's head and turns everything upside down.

Will the lovers find their way back to where they'd left off? Will they be able to fulfill a promise to a friend, which also happens to send them down yet another erotic path? Will love, trust and commitment win out?

Find out in The Leather Bride by Tilly Greene, now available at Phaze.

I've been tagged!

Yup, returned from a break and found my backside had a tag on it...thank you Miss. Sherrill!

So let's get to it! 8 random things about me:

1. I start every day with a half pint of chocolate soy milk.

2. I'm terrified of birds.

3. I love to travel, see new places and try new things, but also love sleeping in my own bed.

5. I enjoy foreign films - especially ones from China.

6. I'm happy being lost in a museum.

7. I like white food - potatoe, corn, cheese, twinkies, sugar, etc.

Thursday 13 - #9!

Hiya Everyone!

I'm back from the land of sand...kind of. Yesterday I took a nap so I could stay awake long enough to attend a friends American Idol party [don't watch it but my Mom does so knew a little something last night] and today is all about laundry, oh yeah. Since my mind isn't up to snuff, I thought I'd give you 13 things I did while I was gone.

1. Yes, sat on the beach and edited a few stories - but mainly sat there and enjoyed the zen state while wave watching.

2. Ate at Husky Boys 4 times - 2 for burgers and 2 for grilled cheese.

3. Went to Jean Pauls even though I don't drink coffee [sipped on chocolate milk and nibbled on lovely buttery croissants].

4. Read Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone [US it's something else, sorry I'm still tired and can't think] and have the next on my bedside table. Said I'd start the series when she announced the release date for the last and I am :-) It was good but the amount of [...] when not necessary are driving me nuts!

5. Shopped and ran errands with my sister - ahhh! These days are always a shock to the system.

6. Was really frustrated with the quality of mobile service between the cutie [in the Swedish Arctic Circle] and myself...but still had a good laugh when his hosts treated him to a play: Amadeus in Swedish [no, he doesn't speak the language], the texts coming out of there were priceless!

7. Saw more progress in Mom's cat toward socialization - although I still think Tashie is confused about whether she is a cat or a seal.

8. Feasted on Mom's poor man taco's [the recipe is now available in Lori Foster's 'The Write Ingredients']

9. Drove 8 hours with 7 other family members, and yes, I was given the hump seat [grrr!].

10. Attended my eldest nieces college graduation [sniffle sniffle] - she's off to law school in the fall, yup proud as a peacock auntie here.

11. Bought a dress without trying it on for the event and when I saw the picture taken at the ceremony I see why the cutie really liked it and made us late.

12. Went to a bar at 7am to watch the FA cup final [Man U was robbed!] and started the day with 3 Newkie Brown's then went with the entire family to eat breakfast at the Pork Shop [nice name].

13. After everyone else left, spent the day with the two oldest nieces - took them for fish & chips and then parked ourselves in the Lush Lounge for a nice send off. Bad Auntie, the second oldest niece isn't of age yet.

Sigh, so back for a bit and time for laundry.

Gone to the Beach!

Well, I've been trying to "borrow" internet time from some unlocked networks out here and there's nothing good on offer. Riptide, I'm sorry, your internet sucks! So, early this morning I went down to JP's for a croissant, chocolate milk and some free wifi, but no go.

Everyone, cruel as it may sound...I'm going to the beach, to the right of this cove here [don't want to be sent dashing across the reef by a rogue surfer]. I'll return to normal [whatever that is] in a couple of weeks unless I can find some strong internet sooner :-)

Zandia cover is here!

Dawn Seewer did a fabulous job, you can see her other work here: http://www.dagiandesigns.com/

Now I'm eager for the book to come out, July 24th can't come soon enough :-)

A bit of random ridiculousness...

Anyone watch 'Where in the World is Matt Lauer?'

Well, I have and I think he's been reading my books! Wednesday he was in Bhutan and in "Double Punch" Anissa is half Bhutanese. On Thursday he was in Dubai talking about The World [manmade islands assembled to look like the continents] and this is where my series "An Invitation to the World" takes place!

Hey, Matt, where do you think "Dragon Lust" takes place?

Thursday 13 - #8!

Hump Day Reflections!

Like a kiss, holding hands brings lovers closer together. Feeling their skin, their presence, beneath your fingertips and soon the heart starts racing.

They're walking together down the beach, enjoying the sand beneath their feet, breathing fresh air and being together. Soon, their pace takes them closer together, arms are pressing closer together, and shoulders bumping. His head leans down to whisper in her ear or drop a kiss on cheek. At the same time she rises to her tiptoes and lays her lips against his. She can only take a couple of steps before collapsing back to walk on the soles of her feet. But she's had a taste and wants more. Her fingers start to smooth over the top of his hand, tease him with a the nails, but never letting go. Wrapping her other arm around the front of him, she makes the awkward walking position worthwhile by looking up into his eyes.

"Want to head back?" There was a smile on her face, but she was serious as well, seriously horny. She wanted to feel his heated body against her's. There was desire pumping through them both and she wanted to immerse herself in its embrace.

"Have something in mind?" A wicked grin bloomed across his lips.

"Oh yes." A giddy laugh accompanied her words as she straightened back up to walk pressed as close to him as she could get.

"What?" She knows he's teasing her so decides to press his own buttons.

"Well, I thought about leading you around the rocks over there, and press you up against the cliffs. I'd kiss you, tease your tongue to come in to my mouth, get you lust bubbling to the surface by running my hands over your muscular chest and down to where you trunks rest low on your hips. Then, when you were breathing heavily, I'd go down and slip my mouth over your cock head - "

"Baby - " There was note of desperation in his voice, she liked that.

"I'm not done. I'd take your hard dick in my mouth, wrap my tongue around the tip to taste the drop of cum I'm sure is there even now. But this won't be quick, no, I'd use one hand on your chest to hold you up and the other to take hold of your cock and move my hand up to meet my lips before stroking it back down again. I'd keep my hold firm as I continue to slide both mouth and hand over your hard silken length. I wouldn't stop when I felt you start to pulsate in my mouth, nor when you started to come, no, I wouldn't stop sucking you off until you - "

"Let's go." Using his hold on her hand, he started to pull her forward toward a rocky outcrop in the distant. She smiled, if anyone walked toward them right now, she knew they'd see his hard-on poking against his swim trunks.

Like her, he wanted...
