A Sexy Vampire ~ @oddlynn3 #LynnCrain #MySexySaturday #MySexyAuthors #MSS126

Welcome to week 126^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is A Sexy Vampire. Again, the theme says it all and while I love vampires, I really only have story that fits the theme.

I’m still on deadline and will be posting all the things I was supposed to get to this week today. That means there will be a new Monday’s Austria Scoop and Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life that you can comment on. Remember to comment often as I will be giving out a $25 gift certificate on Monday, February 1. I realized I needed to give everyone as much time as possible since it’s a monthly pool. So, don’t forget to get your comments in so you can be in the drawing.

This week’s story was at one time part of an anthology at eXtasy Books called Sanguinary Seductions. Right now, it’s going through an edit so it can go back on sale in the near future. The unfortuately thing about anthologies is that when one person wants out, the anthology falls apart. The good thing about this happening at eXtasy is that the authors who want to continue to have their stories for sale are given the option of having that story as a single title release with your specifics on the same anthology cover. I opted to stay for all my anthology stories there. Needless to say, I love eXtasy and they have tons of great authors. Anyway,  here’s the setup for A Tale of Opposites:

Two brothers torn apart by misunderstanding, two sisters bound to them by fate. One extraordinary story of how they find each other, love and a mission to keep all of humanity safe.

Here’s my seven paragraphs:

“You killed my family…you made me who I am…do you understand that?”

I looked at her beautiful form once more and hunkered down to look at her full in the face. “Look at my face real good, girl. Tell me what you see.” I narrowed my eyes at her, watching her look me over. It took only moments for her eyes show fear and her face go white. “Now you understand.” I stood once again. I could hear her harsh breathing and feel her quite sobs. “Do you have anywhere to go?” I could feel her shake her head. “All right. Get up and come with me.”

She just sat there sobbing. Frustrated, I reached down and pulled her up. Light as a feather, I nearly tossed her up in the air without trying. “We need to go,” I said more gently and pulled her close, willing some of my strength to invade her body. Sometimes it was good to have the strength of a dozen men and the power of suggestion, sometimes not so much.

Picking up her pack, I reached for her hand. Slowly, we began the short trek to my room in the local inn. It was not much, but it was a roof over our head and would give us both some much needed rest. If what I felt was any indication of Clarise’s state of mind and body, I knew she needed more than rest. I was not sure if I could provide just what this woman would need to make her get over this reckless task she had set out for herself.

Pushing open the door to the inn, we were assaulted with the sights and sounds of so called civilization. Sizing up the room, I realized quickly that no one would challenge me whatsoever. Taking out a coin, I tossed it to the innkeep as I passed. “Please send your best meal and ale to my room as soon as you can.” The man nodded and continued to pour ale for those at the bar, all the while yelling at the barmaid to prepare a tray.

Quickly, we stood at the bottom of the stair. Leaning in closely, I whispered to my companion, “Can you make it up the stairs, Clarise?” When I received no answer, I swung her up in my arms, pack and all, taking the stairs two at a time. Once in my room, I sat her down gently on the bed and removed her cloak while leaving her pack by the door. The haunted look in her eyes said it all. Damn him, I swore under my breath.

Turning toward me, her eyes welled up with tears. “If not you, who killed my family?”

This is one of the items I want to complete before I move. We’ll see how much I can accomplish before that happens. But I did say to some fellow writers that I find myself more motivated during stressful times. Weird as that may seem.

My Sexy Shifter ~ @oddlynn3 #LynnCrain #MySexySaturday #MySexyAuthors #MSS125

Welcome to week 125^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is My Sexy Shifter. Personally, I think the theme says it all. I love shifters and I hope many of you do as well.

I’m still on deadline with the book I discussed last week. Yes, again I forgot all about Monday’s Austria Scoop and Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life but not because of lack of trying. No, I had them sitting there ready to post but with the WRONG scheduled date. I had them scheduled for this week. So, I’ll just need to revamp everything a little and they will post correctly this week. Hopefully, you’ll drop in to see what I have to say. The $25 Amazon Gift Certificate that is still up for grabs. I will give it out on Sunday, January 31, 2016. So comment often for a chance that at wonderful gift.

This week’s story is part of the Captive Illusions series for my traditional epublisher. It’s been on my back burner for a long time and I plan to get it done in the next month or so. Matter of fact, I even have a cover and should be able to start promoting it very soon. It’s the 2^nd book in the series and one that continues the setup of having different immortals in them. The first one had a vampire and werewolf in them while this one has a werewolf and an elf. All are menage a tois and are the ones I like to write best in the erotic paranormal romance realm. Here’s the setup for Captive Illusions:Merrick and Jenna:

Merrick never expected to be part of his brother, Iain’s wild sexual games.  Once it is over, he realizes he wants to find what Iain has found…his soul mate. When he meets Jenna, he’s afraid she is the one.  But she certainly isn’t what he expected. She’s a hunter or so he thinks. But how can someone so innocent belong to a group as cold as the Hunters?

Jenna cannot believe her eyes when she sees Merrick…talk, dark and brooding…and everything she’s ever wanted in a man. There’s just one problem. He’s an immortal and her family hunts immortals. But he holds the key to her deepest, darkest fantasies. And the more she’s with him, the more she realizes her father has deceived her. But is she ready to give up everything she knows for an uncertain future?

Here’s my seven paragraphs:

She licked her lips slowly. “I betrayed you and your clan.”

“Hardly. If it hadn’t been you it would have been someone else,” he practically purred in her ear. “What I really want to know is all your sexual fantasies. All of them.” He pulled the scarf off her face and looked at her as if judging what her reply would be.

Her heartbeat went up a notch. “Why?”

“I plan to fulfill each and every one of them.”

“Really. And just how do you plan to do that?” Jenna stared at him. She had a lot of fantasies that she expected never to be fulfilled. And a lot of those fantasies had nothing to do with sex but more with a lifetime full of precious moments.

Slowly, he leaned his head forward to breathe hot, moist air on her inner thigh. The soft, erotic touch made her jump. No man had ever touched her in this way. But then again, this was no ordinary man, she reminded herself.

“What I want to know is if a little girl like you has ever been well and truly fucked?”

I am so hoping that I will turn in the final for this before I move. But to be honest, it is my second deadline and the first is on a larger book. I have my fingers crossed and hope things will go the way I want.

One Sexy Girl ~ @oddlynn3 #LynnCrain #MySexySaturday #MySexyAuthors #MSS124

Welcome to week 124^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is One Sexy Girl. Obviously this theme is about a sexy heroine and all my books have sexy heroines. But this week I’m going to give you a rare treat from a work-in-progress. I don’t share too many of those and it’s not because I don’t want to, no, I love sharing. But most of the time it’s just not the right moment to share something new. However, this one is going to my agent and cross your fingers, something great will happen with it.

This week has been tough on the world as we lost David Bowie and Alan Rickman to cancer. They are both deeply embedded in my life with Ziggy Stardust, Labyrinth, Die Hard and Harry Potter. No one will ever take their place.

Because I am on deadline with this current book, I forgot all about Monday’s Austria Scoop and Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life last week.  This week I’m already ahead of the game as they are scheduled and ready to go. Hopefully, you’ll drop in to see what I have to say. Don’t forget about the $25 Amazon Gift Certificate that is still up for grabs. I will give it out on Sunday, January 31, 2016. So comment often for a chance that at wonderful gift.

This week’s story is HeartSword: Chronicles of the Prophecy. It’s the 1^st book in the series and one that sets up the quest to free two gods and lovers from the Lifesteel they are imprisoned in. There are four books in the series and each book is about a couple, who are Chosen to keep evil at bay and free the lovers from their prison. Here’s the setup:

Erin Kesara must come to grips with her fate as holder of the legendary HeartSwords before she can begin to confront the Prophecy. Recently widowed, she is stunned to find her lifemate has been with her for years as her BloodSworn Protector, Malick Pendragon. Together they must forge an unbreakable bond not only with themselves but with the swords before evil devours the world in which they live. With the help of six others and the HeartSwords themselves, they begin a quest driven by the Prophecy as the events unfold before them. 

Here’s my seven paragraphs from HeartSword: Chronicles of the Prophecy:

Erin stopped dead in the street, pulling Malick around to face her. He acted like he had won her in a card game, or worse, from one of the many caravans of nomads which roamed the wastelands of Moran. “Will you stop acting like I am the prize in some grand game?”

“Do you think this has been easy for me? I have known for many annua who you were...who I was.” Obsidian eyes looked deep into azure ones. “Do you know what it has been like to see you with Edwain, knowing what you two...,” he choked off the words.

No, she had not known...had never thought about it. No, that was not exactly true. She thought about it ... at least once that she could remember. Her mind drifted back to the time when she first saw Malick, bruised and battered from the abuse of his captors. She had been younger and as haughty as a banty cockra. First, she challenged his captors, then she challenged him for the right to the rest of his life. Why had he given in so easily? She always assumed that it was because of the havoc she caused among the blooded warriors and the fact that Malick had a raging fever. She downed five of his captors before they acceded all rights of the man to her.

“What made you accept my challenge?”

“My god, woman!” he exploded. “Have you ever really looked at yourself? With anything other than the critical eye of a warrior?” He watched her shake her head. “Erin, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. And if we do not get to Orazio soon, I swear by the god in this sword, I will take you here.”

His hand wound fiercely in her hair, pulling her face to his. The kiss was anything but gentle, his lips anything but soft. Savagely he kissed her, thrusting his tongue into her mouth with superb mastery.

Erin, understanding years of pent up frustration were being released, tried to pull back. But then the kiss took on a more subtle flair.

Like I stated previous, I am currently under deadline for this book. Once completed or rather edited since it was finished long ago, she will begin shopping it around and we’ve got high hopes for it.

Our Sexy New Year ~ @oddlynn3 #LynnCrain #MySexySaturday #MySexyAuthors #MSS123

Welcome to week 123^rd week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is Our Sexy New Year. This theme can mean a lot to a person. It can mean a year full of resolutions and goals. It could mean a year full of love with that special someone. And for some, it could be not so good but they are hopeful as the first month rolls in.  
While I don’t have a story specifically about the New Year, I do have a series that’s all about hope and love and new beginnings. The series is my Santa’s Elves series and I can’t wait to finish it out this year. But for this week, I’ll be posting something from the fifth story in the series, An Elf’s Magic. This is definitely one of my favorite series and I can’t wait to get back into it.

There will be a Monday’s Austria Scoop and Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life this week as I’m back from taking a total vacation because of the holidays. It’s good to be back but I am super busy and you’ll get the whole scoop on it this week.

The $25 Amazon Gift Certificate is still up for grabs. I will give it out on Sunday, January 31, 2016. So comment often for a chance that at wonderful gift.

This week’s story is An Elf’s Magic. It’s the 5^th book in the series about a special elf family that runs Santa’s workshop. Here’s the setup:

Lacey Sinclair wants to be a doctor but life and circumstance has made that path impossible.  Given the chance at the job of a lifetime and the promise of enough money to see her through med school, she is hesitant. Something draws her to one certain man that she can’t put her finger on. Her body is alive and her mind sharp, focused when she’s near him. So before she can live the life of her dreams, she must discover just who Cuinn Lochlin is to her and her future. 

Here’s my seven paragraphs from An Elf’s Magic:

“Ah, hell—” Cuinn swooped down on her and captured her lips with his. He couldn’t help himself. From the moment she walked into the conference room that morning, all he could think about was having her in his arms. He should have told his father at the wedding last year about his desire for her, but her place hadn’t cemented in his heart yet. Now there would be no stopping their bonding.

Gently, he pulled back and gazed at her. “I’ll stop if you want me to.”

Lacey quickly shook her head. “No. I’ve never felt something so right.” She pulled his head back to her and his lips captured hers with no tenderness this time, just a hard, raw need.

Still, he knew she needed tender after what had happened to her this past year. Changing the tone of his onslaught, Cuinn gently sucked her bottom lip and ran his hands softly down her arms. Rewarded with a slight shiver, his body tightened in response to her body’s signals as his caress slipped around to her soft buttocks.

The rapid beat of her heart drummed against him, showing how aroused she truly was. She would be the core of his world and he wanted everything to be right for their first time, so trying hard to remember all the lessons on sex from his father. First, he put up his shields knowing some people in the city would feel the energy. Then, he snapped the glamour spell more firmly around himself because there were some things she couldn’t know until they had reached the North Pole. Cuinn only hoped she would forgive him once all had been revealed.

Breaking off the kiss, he breathed hard as he gently cupped her face in his hands. “Tell me to stop right now and I will because you have to be very, very sure you want this to happen.”

“I am…believe me…I am,” she whispered.

This story is currently available at my traditional ePublisher, eXtasy Books. Here’s a full list of Santa’s Elves series of books:
