Welcome to week 88th
week of My
Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is Sexy’s Got You, Babe and it was
related back to the song, I Got You Babe. And I’ve got to admit…I’ve got
nothing…LOL! The reason I say this is because what this means to me is that it’s
all about a couple who have been there for each other practically forever.
Through thick and thin. Since they first laid eyes on each other at a very
young age. Think Braveheart or 13 Going On 30 type movies. Things Friends.
First, let me remind you not
to forget to my Monday’s Austria Scoop and Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Live
where I talk about the limos and tiaras. Not really but it does sound good.
Remember, the more comments you make, the more you’re entered into my monthly
drawing for a $25 gift certificate to the ebook retailer of your choice. If you
don’t comment, you can’t win…it’s that simple. Enough about the blog…onto the
good stuff!
Like I said, I don’t really
have anything that fits my idea of this theme. So, I thought I’d go for a
work-in-progress that is so new, I haven’t told anyone about it. Well, that’s
not quite true, I’ve talked about it a lot…just not here...at least not much. It even has its own
website because I love the storyline so much. Now, these characters have known
each other for a long time. The hero just feels that he can’t care for the
heroine, at least not in the way he really wants. It takes positively years for
him to realize he can make a real difference in her life by loving her. Even I
don’t know when that’s going to happen since the series is still unfolding in
my mind.
It’s an urban fantasy and the
very first thing to tell you that it has the presence of magic. And ghosts…did I
mention the hero is one? Anyway, here’s an exclusive look at seven paragraphs from The JR Chronicles’ first book, Angels and Demons. There’s also short
stories and diaries to go with this one. You can find out more about this
series at www.thejrchronicles.com
and please be kind as I’m still putting the website together but I promise you’ll
love it once it’s all there.
I sidled up to him. “You’ll always be with me. You have always been with me. Doesn’t that count
for something?”
He gazed down at me, his eyes soft and contemplative. “I know
what you’re trying to do.”
“You do?” I questioned, acting as nonchalant as one could
possibly act. I’d always tried to convince Jasper that the friends with
benefits thing would work really well for us. After all, it wasn’t like we
could truly be there for each other in a forever kind of way.
His forefinger moved down the length of my nose and tapped the
end. “You have tried to manipulate me since you were old enough to know and understand
what I am. Some had very disastrous results if I recall.” He lifted his brow
and looked at me pointedly.
I felt my cheeks grow pink recalling a few of those moments.
Another horrid thing left over from my childhood. “Fine, be that way.” I huffed
and sat in the nearest chair with arms folded over my chest. I could glare at
him all day and it wouldn’t matter. Sex with him would be hard to get. And my
body craved what it couldn’t have. So I pouted.
His deep laughter filled the kitchen, its sound sliding over me
like a well-worn pair of jeans. “You have the same adorable look as when you
were two.”
A rumbled started low in my throat. Now I was really going to
kill him. I didn’t know if I should have an ewww moment or a yuck one for
wanting to do it with a nearly hundred and sixty year old man. Rather ghost –
uh – man-ghost. Whatever. My mind was seething as I tried to dampen my anger. I
hated it when I was horny.
This book is the first in a
series of books about Serenity Donovan and Jasper Ryan, along with some big
secondary human characters including a variety of non-human ones. The books
start six years after the death of her parents and her being alone to do the job of paranormal
protector. It’s a big series with a lot of words. The hope is to have book one
published in January 2016. Right now, I’m working on the back story via short
stories and diaries, most of which will be reader exclusives if you get in on
the ground floor. Again, watch the website as items become available.
Also, my traditional ePublisher,
eXtasy Books still has many of
my books on sale at their website.
If you’ve never read any of my stories, now’s the time to get them at a great
discount and see if I write stories you might like. Pick up your copies today!
