Where has the time gone?

Eleven days. It's been eleven days since I posted a blog. Wow. I'm in shock. I had no idea that much time has gone by. Things have been a little out of control for me on the writing front and the person front.

Writing: I'm typing my little fingers off. I'm currently working on two projects at once. I'm writing the second book, under Madison Scott, in my erotic series titled, Bliss. Also, I'm working away on my novel, Falling Pirouettes which won that fancy little finalist picture on the sidebar :) I'm goal is to write at least 1000 words per day. Kind of going for the whole kill two birds with one stone thing because this year I still have to write two novella's and one novel for Parker Publishing (one of them is the third book in the Luciano series. Yay!) So, needless to say, that has been keeping me very, very busy.

On the more personal front: I have an uncle who we haven't seen in 15 years. Sad as it is, these thing happen in families some times. I hate that it happened in ours but it did and there is no going back now. Anyway, my mom had been thinking about him a lot. For some reason she couldn't get him out of her mind so she did a little research and found him. She called him up and they shared tears of joy through the phone. Unfortunately, she found out he has lung cancer. The doctors had only given him 6-12 months to live. Thank GOD he is responding well to chemo and we hope and pray that will buy him more time. Come to find out he had a bucket list, and we were on it. he wanted his family back together as did we. So a couple days ago my uncle, aunt, and cousin made the trip all the way from TN here to California. It's been a really nice visit so far. They're staying with my mom and sister. We went there this weekend, it's about an hour from where we live and tomorrow they're coming to my house to visit. I'm so glad we're able to have this time together and it reminds you what is important in life. Hug your loved ones a little closer, k?

An amazing night!



Me with Bobby Long--I have the WORST luck with pictures. They always get cut off. LOL.


I took a little break from writing last night and went out with some friends. A close girlfriend of mine came over from Vegas and the night was spent watching an AMAZING, musician, Bobby Long. You've probably never heard of him. He doesn't have an album out, from London and in the States for the first time but I'm telling you...you really want to check him out. He's got a very special voice. He's acoustic style. It's just him and his guitar on stage. His music is very soulful. I seriously got teary-eyed up there watching him for the first time. His passion for music literally flows from his lyrics and performance. He captivates you. He's definitely got something special and I can't wait to see where it brings him. He's sweet, humble, and talented. After the show he took the time to meet with us and chat. He took picture and gave autographs. It was so refreshing meeting him because he's so down to earth. He just loves his music and I think it kind of shocks him that so many people love it too, like he never expected the recognition he's starting to gain. He's in it for the love of music and not the fame. You don't see that often and I hope he never loses that quality. Anyway, if you're so inclined, and I really think you should, check out his myspace and show him some love. I'm lucky enough to see him again tonight and I can't wait!

My first time....




For those of you who don't know, I have a another identity. My naughty side, Madison Scott has a confession to make.


Yesterday was my first time. Yep, you read that right everyone, until yesterday I was an erotic romance virgin. Well…let me rephrase, I’d dabbled before. Engaged in a little foreplay that I never shared with anyone else but soon, that wasn’t enough. I wanted more. I pushed aside my desires for a while but they were never far from my mind. Then, Ty started to speak to me. He wanted his story. He needed the perfect woman but the thing about Ty is, he likes it really HOT. I couldn’t deny myself any longer. I’d found the perfect guy, and the perfect woman followed right behind. It was time for me to go out on that first date. I pushed my virginal fears aside and set out to tell Ty’s and Maggie’s story. After I finished, I’d had a blast but I still wasn’t satisfied. I knew the only way I would be satisfied was to share Ty and Maggie’s story with the world. I was scared but figured I’d gone this far, might as well take that next step. Imagine my surprise when I got that second date, I sold to Liquid Silver Books. After that, yeah, I was satisfied but there was still that little part of me that was scared to go all the way. I mean, would everyone else enjoy themselves as much as I did? I wasn’t sure but finally, yesterday, I went all the way. I watched with anticipation as my first erotic romance went up for sale. And guess what? It didn’t even hurt. It felt damn good as a matter of fact. So good that I might have to do it again. Ty has two brothers who are just as naughty as he is and I have a feeling, I’ll enjoy myself just as much with Ethan and Shane, as I did Ty.

Here’s a little taste….Maggie is about to have her first time too. She isn’t a virgin but for the first time she’s letting all her inhibitions go. She’s giving herself over to Ty and the satisfaction she knows he will give her.




Blurb:
Tyson Malone is being stalked by a ghost. Between bouts of calling him Sugar Lips and Hot Cakes, the apparition makes it her goal to get Ty together with his sexy neighbor, Maggie Jacobson. Unfortunately, for her, Ty doesn’t do the relationship thing. He does sex with a no relationship clause. One look at Maggie is all it takes to know she’s a relationship kind of woman.

Maggie is tired of living her life the way others dictate. When her mom leaves her a journal left behind by a grandmother she never met, Maggie is inspired. This brave woman lived her life by her own set of rules and Maggie is ready to do the same. After moving to a new town, she meets Ty, a man who inspires her in a whole new, very sexual way.

Taking control for the first time in her life, Maggie propositions him with a no strings affair. Soon they begin a journey to sexual satisfaction and bringing her fantasies to life.
KINKS: outdoor sex, masturbation/voyeurism, food play, light bondage, dirty talk

A pushy ghost and a gorgeous redhead--a man doesn’t stand a chance!

Excerpt:
A knock at the door jarred her from her thoughts. “Come in,” Maggie called out while she finished slipping into a pair of tennis shoes. No one else would be at her house at six AM but Tyson. A click sounded followed by a creak. “Hey, you.”
His brow creased. “Why didn’t you make sure it was me before yelling to come in? Better yet, why isn’t the door locked?”
“Pfft. This is Last Chance. Half the people in this town probably leave their doors unlocked.”
“Just because they’re stupid doesn’t mean you should be. You’re a woman living alone. Lock your doors.”
His order should have angered her but for some reason it made her heart do a funny little flutter instead. He worried about her and dumb as it was, that made her feel good. Maggie stood up. “I usually do leave it locked. I knew you’d be coming over so I unlocked it a few minutes ago.”
“Next time wait until I get here. Anyone could have been at the door.”
Maggie shook her head. Men! Always had to be macho. “What are we doing?” She knew he planned to take her camping but other than that he hadn’t given her many clues about their day. After she’d told him some of her fantasies he told her to be ready this morning for a trip. Somehow sex would be tied in. She just wasn’t sure how.
“The river.” He didn’t elaborate any further. His voice turned husky as his chocolate eyes raked her up and down. Goosebumps pebbled on her skin following the trail of his gaze. “I tasted you all night, Maggie. The scent of your arousal clung to my body damn near giving me a wet dream when I thought about what it felt like inside your slippery walls.”
Wetness seeped from the folds of her sex soaking her panties. Tyson wrapped his arms around her, surrounding her in his warmth.
“Did you think of me when you were all tucked into bed, baby?”
Had she ever. “Yes.” His hands squeezed the round globes of her ass. “Oh!”
“Did you do more than just think about me?”
How did he know? Come on, Mags. Tell him. Don’t get cold feet now. “Yes.”
“What did you do?”
“First I--”
“No, Maggie, show me. Don’t tell me.”
Her pulse pounded. Her core throbbed with the need to come. For Ty. To show him she could be wild, untamed, purely sexual. Maggie kicked her shoes from her feet and dropped her shorts and panties. Her limbs trembled in a mix of anticipation and fear.
“Look at that pretty pussy. Did you touch yourself, Maggie? Did you sink your fingers into your cunt?”
“I pretended it was you. I wanted it to be you.”
“It will be me but not right now. I want to see you push your delicate fingers into your hungry little kitty cat. Can you do that for me, baby?”
She never would have thought she could do something like this but looking at Tyson she knew she could.

Hard times call for more need for escapism




I know I love nothing more than to get lost in a good book when I'm having a hard day. I ran across this article and thought I'd share.

In a recession, what people want is a happy ending.

At a time when booksellers are struggling to lure readers, sales of romance novels are outstripping most other categories of books and giving some buoyancy to an otherwise sluggish market.

Harlequin Enterprises, the queen of the romance world, reported that fourth-quarter earnings were up 32 percent over the same period a year earlier, and Donna Hayes, Harlequin’s chief executive, said that sales in the first quarter of this year remained very strong. While sales of adult fiction overall were basically flat last year, according to Nielsen Bookscan, which tracks about 70 percent of retail sales, the romance category was up 7 percent after holding fairly steady for the previous four years.
