Citizens of Chateau de Lily hold little hop of that happening since everyone who tries to cross the ice floes dies. Only the resident, ever-loyal, royal wizard Zoltar, who has been in service to Isabelle’s family since long before the curse was cast, believes miracles of this magnitude are possible. Twenty-five years have passed but as Zoltar continues experimenting in his dungeon laboratory, he believes this will be their final Christmas spent in icy isolation.

Weaving stories brings me joy, whether I’m turning the screws on a
character whose back is against the wall, or playing matchmaker. Adding the
extra spice of international settings to my stories is fun, and gives me a
chance to revisit some global travels. I’ve authored nearly a dozen novelettes,
novellas and novels in fantasy, paranormal, and contemporary romance. Many more
manuscripts are in various stages of completion, waiting to see the light of
day. I live deep in the heart chakra of Texas with my true love in a cozy
cottage along with our son and a crafty dog who rules us all. My muse settles
for nothing less than the finest chocolates and coffee.

Our Sexy Holidays ~ @oddlynn3 #LynnCrain #MySexySaturday #MySexyAuthors #MSS122
Welcome to week 122nd
week of My
Sexy Saturday. This
week’s theme is Our Sexy Holidays and all I can think is that Christmas is
coming. It’s a very, very sexy time of year. And I love it.
Now, I don’t have to go very
far to come up with a story for this time of year. One of my very first stories
is about Santa and some very special elves. It’s a story I loved to write and
have just a few books left to complete the series.
There will
be a Monday’s Austria Scoop and Tuesday’s
My So-Called Writing Life this week as I’ll be taking a total vacation from
most internet posting because of the holidays.
Don’t forget to comment by
Tuesday, December 22nd as I will be giving away a $25 Amazon Gift
Certificate on that day. So comment often for a chance that at wonderful gift.
This week’s
novella is The View From
Santa’s Sleigh. It’s the series about a special elf family
that runs Santa’s workshop. Here’s the setup:
Tessa, very let down
by love, is surprised to find herself comforted by the red-suited man himself
on Christmas Eve. Thinking that he is the figment of her slightly tipsy mind,
she pours her heart out to him hoping for just a little love, understanding and
a good sexual encounter. Tessa gets more than she bargained for with an elf
named Jedrick and both get the Christmas present of a lifetime. In only a short
time, they find themselves realizing their love is for more than just the
holiday season and more than just the sexual romp they had envisioned.
But Tessa has
obligations in the real world and Jedrick needs to begin designs for next year.
He gives Tessa a very special locket, telling her to use it anytime and he will
come right away. Once back in her world, Tessa finds it has lost its charm and
knows that her place is with the elf she loves, Jedrick. Their very humorous
love-story is told amidst the backdrop of a post Christmas North Pole and the
winter in Reno
Here’s my seven paragraphs from The View From
Santa’s Sleigh:
“Eggther, sometimes an opportunity to do a wonderful thing comes
up. Sometimes you can give a present to two people. Sometimes it isn’t about
sex.”
“Santa…,” he warned.
“Now don’t start…you know as much as I do that Jedrick deserves
something very special this year. And this young woman does too.”
“Santa, bringing him home a woman isn’t going to solve anything.
You just said it wasn’t about sex.”
Santa sat up straight. “That’s where I think your wrong, Eggie,
a woman is just the thing. The man doesn’t feel like he belongs any more. He
doesn’t have the same drive and the toys he’s been creating…well, they just
aren’t up to our usual standards. In the long run both you and I know it isn’t
about the sex but maybe for him, it is all about the sex just this once.”
“Santa…he’ll find a girl…someone will love him,” Eggther began.
“How in the world is a six foot four elf going to find a woman
when there aren’t any around for him?” Santa stared at Eggther. “No normal elf
woman would ever look at him, you know it.
Sex…now that’s just out of the question! He needs one his size.”
This story is currently
available at my traditional ePublisher, eXtasy
Books. Here’s a full list of Santa’s
Elves series of books:
