Welcome to week 69th
week of My
Sexy Saturday. The week’s theme is Our Sexy Thanksgiving. There was a
lot of talk about the holiday and the movies that remind us of the holidays.
Definitely some fun things there. Unfortunately, I don’t have one book set near
the holiday of Thanksgiving. Gives me something to think about, that’s for
sure.
The Chriskindlemarkts are in
full swing now with the last of them opening this weekend. It just seems so
wrong when those of us in the US haven’t celebrated Thanksgiving yet. But I’m
celebrating it early because of friends from the States. My dear husband is off
doing work so I was going to be alone. Some of his co-workers, whom I’ve become
friends with, are here doing their part for an exercise being done in the
Middle East. They decided we all needed to celebrate the holiday early. So
today’s the day for me to get all the turkey I could ever want. LOL! Can’t
wait.
And again, the big surprise has
gone undone. I so, so apologize as it was me this week. Part of what I do every
year is to get some surprises from the Chriskindlemarkts here and shipped them
to where ever the winners may live. I still plan to do that but since I haven’t
even purchased the gifts yet, I thought it was a little premature to talk about
things I had no clue about. Hope you understand. Part of this fabulous weekend
is doing just that. So far, I’ve visited two of the markets and plan on a few
more. I know you’ll like what I have. So just a little more patience and all
will be revealed.
I have decided that Austria doesn’t
know what season it is yet. Some days are pleasant and much warmer than what
one expects for winter. There were days that is was so gray, I wanted to bury
my head under the pillow. Other days, snow clouds hung in the sky and did
nothing. Just made everyone realize that it hasn’t snowed yet. I’m expecting
that one soon. Now today, is back to a gray day but I’m still chipper since we’re
doing Thanksgiving. Pup Harry has been snarkier than usual since he hurt his
leg but otherwise is a very happy dog. Even he will enjoy the turkey.
Longmire fans got the news we
had been hoping for…Netflix picked up our beloved series for another season…Season
4 will be short, only 10 episodes, but it’s coming in 2015. Can you say happy
dance? I can’t wait to see what all is going to happen with that much beloved
series. Again…gotta love those cowboys…and let’s not forget those Indians!
This week, I’m sharing another
sexy seven paragraphs from my book The Thing About
Elves. Like I said, not much in the way of a Thanksgiving
theme in any of my books but these characters have a lot to be thankful for but
you’ll need to read the book to find out. Again, this is book two in the series
and the hero is to die for. He’s a very sexy elf on the order of Legolas in the
Lord of the Rings series or The Hobbit series. He’s sexy and there’s a woman on
his horizon who sees right past the sexy façade to the man beneath. And what’s
even more wonderful…it’s on sale for just $0.99! Here’s the setup:
It’s been two
years since Angie’s friend, Tessa, got married to Jedrick and introduced her to
his brother, Ardan. From the moment, she saw him she knew he was the man for
her. There’s only one problem…he’s elf…an elf who swears human and elves don’t
mix. But Angie has other plans in mind. When Ardan asks her to his house after
the delivery of Tessa’s and Jedrick’s twins, she jumps at the chance. Even
though he keeps telling her nothing will happen, they have been doing this
dance for a very long time. And when she teases him by caressing his body,
Ardan knows he’s lost. But love and commitment are more than just hot sex.
Ardan still
doesn’t trust human women and Angie is determined to prove that she is the
woman…the only woman…for him. She loves medicine, the North Pole and him more
than anything else in the world. When Ardan is summoned to help a hurt elf, he
is unavailable and Angie goes in his stead to prove to him that she loves the
community of elves as much as he does. But something goes terribly wrong and
Ardan is left to care for a comatose and possibly dying Angie. Ardan realizing
just how precious this woman is, vows to prove to her his love is fathomless.
No matter what the future holds.
Need I say again that this is
one of my favorite books to write. I loved the world I created with these elves
and the North Pole. It was fun to write and flowed naturally. Don’t forget to
pick up your copy here. I enjoyed writing it and doing the series…hope you
feel the same way!
Ardan pulled her tighter. “It’s the
northern lights, the Aurora Borealis.”
“You mean the thing caused by the
Earth’s magnetic field?” She looked at him through hooded lashes. He had to
know just how much he affected her with his closeness. All her senses were on
high sexual alert. It took everything in her to keep her heart from not beating
out of her chest.
He continued to look at the light show
for a few more minutes. “Yes, it’s caused by the magnetic field. But we tell
another story about them.”
“And that is?”
He looked down at her then with
troubled eyes. “We artic elves have a legend about lost lovers. Or maybe you
would call them found.”
She grinned then. “What’s the legend?”
“In the realm of the first Earth,
there were two elves. One always wanted to stay home and do everything he was
told while his mate loved to help people. She would do whatever was necessary
so her people could thrive and prosper. One day she was called away and while
she was gone the eternal night that you mentioned had begun and she couldn’t
find her way home. Her mate was so lost without her that he prayed for seven days
and seven nights to the gods to bring her home. At the end of the seventh day,
the night sky lit up with what we call the Aurora Borealis and she was able to
find her way home by its light.”
