A Sexy Encounter ~ @oddlynn3 #LynnCrain #MySexySaturday #MySexyAuthors #MSS127

Welcome to week 127th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is A Sexy Encounter. I was really excited when I saw this theme. I have a story where the first encounter says it all.

Still on deadline and preparing for my big move. I think I’ll be on deadline at least until mid-year and then I might have some breathing room. That means there will be lots of great things coming this year and I hope you’ll love what I have in store for you all. I am giving everyone a fe wmore days to comment on LAST months posts. I will pick one winner for a $25 Amazon gift certificate. Also, don’t forget to start commenting on this month’s posts as I’ll do the same thing right before I leave for the States. So comment a lot to increase your chances. And yes, Monday’s Austria Scoop and My So-Called Writing Life will happen this week. I’ll even pre-set some posts to happen while I’m on travel but more about that one later.

This week’s story was part of a themed series of stories at eXtasy Books called Fantasy Games. These stories were about people’s fantasies at any level: single, one-night stands, married, you name it, they had a story for that fantasy. Each was an individual story and most were approximately ten thousand words. They are fast, short reads and if you are looking for something different, look these up.  Here’s the setup for Shopping Spree:

When Jonas watched a nude woman start to try on clothes in his exclusive women’s boutique, he didn’t know that her next item to try on would be…him.

Here’s my seven paragraphs with a bonus paragraph at the beginning for clarification:



“Ma’am, you can’t try on any of the clothes without underwear.” He stood by the door and heard her sigh.
“Why not?” Her voice had a sultry, sexy sound.
“Because the board of health forbids it.” He stood leaning against the door jam, arms folded across his chest. He thought he had seen her pop her head around the door of the dressing room. He just had to get another peak at the gorgeous honey-blonde woman’s face.
“Oh. I thought maybe it was some stupid rule you came up with. You know some guys are that way.”
“No, ma’am. Not my rule at all.”
“Okay, then. I’ll put my thong back on. I can go braless right?”
Jonas shook his head and tried to imagine what was going through her mind at that moment. “I don’t think that would be wise, ma’am.”
“I want to feel how the silk slides along my breasts,” she stated, again with that sexy sounding voice. “Women like those things, you know?”

What is more amazing is that this is one of my $0.99 books that is currently on sale at my traditional ePublisher, eXtasy Books right now. Below are listed all my books that are currently on sale. Don’t forget to pick up your copies today!

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

Welcome to week 125th 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 2nd 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.

My traditional ePublisher, eXtasy Books is still having a sale on a few of my books. Don’t forget to pick up your copies today!

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

Welcome to week 124th 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 1st 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.  

My traditional ePublisher, eXtasy Books is having a sale on a few of my books. Also, my award winning book, The Haunting of Maggie Grey, is the Deal of the Day today. Don’t forget to pick up your copies today!

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

Welcome to week 123rd 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 5th 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:

My Sexy Saturday ~ The Thing About Elves ~ @oddlynn3 #MSSWeek14

Welcome to the fourteenth week of My Sexy Saturday.

My Sexy Saturday is a weekly blog hop to share all our sexy bits of our books. Each week we hope to entertain more readers via our individual weekly blog posts, through tweeting our sexy tweets along with Facebook notices as you read the words, snippets and excerpts posted.

Sexy is an attitude that has nothing to do with looks or status. It’s how we feel about ourselves, our lovers and the world as a whole. Sexy isn’t a size and doesn’t demand perfection. We know what sexy is and we want to share it with you.

Everyone has their idea of sexy. A look, a touch, clothes on or off, it doesn’t matter. At My Sexy Saturday, authors will bring you their idea of sexy with seven words, seven sentences or seven paragraphs every week. And it’s all about the 7s…seven words, seven sentences or seven paragraphs.

This week we’re in book 2 of my Santa’s Elves series, The Thing About Elves. We’ve moved a little further along in the book and Ardan is beginning to realize he may never get his fill of Angie. Enjoy!



“Angie,” he whispered, close enough that she could feel his warm breath on her skin. “Turn around.”
Leisurely, as if she had all the time in the world, she turned. Smiling tentatively, she knew she saw unrestrained passion in his eyes. “Yes?”
“Do you realize that it has taken every bit of my restraint to keep my hands off of you today?”
Her low laughter resounded in the room. “Really? I had no idea.”
“You should.” He slipped his large hand around her neck and placed his thumb under her jaw. Gently, he pushed her face up to gaze into his eyes. “You need to realize just what you do to me.”
“And what is that?” she whispered.
“Damn, woman, you have a hold on me, a hold I can’t deny, a hold that I don’t want to deny.”

            You can purchase this book here at eXtasy Books.

My Sexy Saturday ~ The Thing About Elves ~ @oddlynn3 #MSSWeek10


Welcome to the tenth week of My Sexy Saturday.

Everyone has their idea of sexy. It can be a look, a touch and with clothes on or off. Each week, authors will bring you their idea of sexy with seven words, seven sentences or seven paragraphs. Let the sevens begin!

This week we’re still in the second book of my Santa’s Elves series, The Thing About Elves. Ardan has taken Angie home, told her a beautiful legend and is now seducing her ever so gently Here’s my sexy seven paragraphs from this wonderful book! Enjoy!
 
 
 
Pushing her onto the couch, he sat down beside her heavily. Sighing, he slowly turned to face her. Reaching out his hand, he lifted her braid from her shoulder. “May I?”
Not trusting herself to speak, Angie could only nod. His hands were so gentle, she didn’t even wince when he pulled the rubber band from her hair that she had so hastily put in what seemed like hours ago. Her hair was long, but she had never really considered just how long. She was able to watch his hands unwind the braid ever so easily. Once completed, he ran his long fingers through her hair. 
“Beautiful,” he breathed, “just beautiful.” He buried his face into the ebony tresses for a few seconds before lifting them and pressing his lips against her neck.
She shivered with delight and pulled his head close. Leaning back onto the couch, she drew him with her. Tugging his head away from her neck, she forced him to take her lips. Returning kiss for kiss, she opened her mouth to allow him easy access to all she had to offer. Caressing wherever her hands touched, she was amazed at how soft and warm his skin felt to her fingertips. This was what she had yearned for; this was what she had wanted.
All her nerve endings tingled with desire. Gently, she pulled his bottom lip into her mouth and gently sucked on it. His weight shifted until he lay fully on top of her. She could feel his unrestrained desire pressing against her leg. As if to show her intention, she moved his hand over her lips and tugged one of his digits into her mouth, sucking on it voraciously without control. And she knew exactly what she did to him.
“Touch me,” he whispered, “really touch me.”
The simple request surprised her. “Alright.”

You can purchase this book here at eXtasy Books.

My Sexy Saturday ~ The Thing About Elves ~ @oddlynn3 #MSSWeek9

Welcome to the ninth week of My Sexy Saturday.

Everyone has their idea of sexy. It can be a look, a touch and with clothes on or off. Each week, authors will bring you their idea of sexy with seven words, seven sentences or seven paragraphs. Let the sevens begin!

We’re moving right along with the second book in my Santa’s Elves series. This is the story of Angie and Ardan, Tessa’s best friend and Jedrick’s brother. Last week we saw their first real encounter after Angie had moved to the North Pole to be with Tessa as she was having twins. This week, we pick up the story after the twins are born. It’s been a difficult birth and at one point, the thought was they would lose them all.  Here’s my sexy seven paragraphs from this wonderful book! Enjoy!



            What the hell was he doing? Ardan leaned against the door and breathed deeply. Every nerve ending in his body was on fire because of that woman. And this time it had gone too far. He had to have her. He didn’t care what the outcome would be; he had to have her luscious body. It wasn’t as if she hadn’t been offering it to him for a year now. He walked over to the locker and jerked off his lab coat.
            Slamming open the door, he wasn’t sure this was the wisest thing to do, given the situation. But then again with the sexual tension running through his body he wasn’t sure what the wisest thing would be. His elven magic continued to be on high alert, first with Tessa in the operating room and now with Angie. He didn’t want to care for the woman but after tonight something had crept into his heart and that something was caring.
            Clenching and unclenching his fists, he walked around the room several times. He had to get a hold of himself before he went back out to her. Leaning his head against the door, he strained to hear her breathing. With his elven magic, he could discern the slow beat of her heart and the rhythmic feel of her breath. Putting out a tendril of magic, he realized her heart beat faster with just that small touch. Could she actually feel him and his magic? Was it possible this human woman could be his match?
            Shaking his head, he pushed away from the door. He couldn’t do this. He calmed himself down through some breathing exercises and gained control over his errant emotions. He was just a little stressed from the hard delivery. That had to be it because it couldn’t be anything else.
            Oh…but he wanted her so badly…and when she had touched his ears earlier in the day he thought he would burst. Her very touch could send him zinging and he wasn’t quite sure why…or at least he didn’t want to admit it to himself.
            He would just go out there and tell her that nothing was going to happen. Nothing at all. All he had to do was to convince himself it was true.
* * * *
            He had touched her with the magic. Angie stood straighter. She felt it…a light brush against her already hot skin…it had set her pulses to racing even more. What the hell was the man doing? Testing her? She nearly jumped through the roof when the door opened and she turned wide eyes in his direction. Ardan stood there in silhouette.

            You can purchase this book here at eXtasy Books.

My Sexy Saturday ~ The View From Santa's Sleigh ~ Chapter 5 ~ @oddlynn3 #MySexySaturday


Welcome to another My Sexy Saturday. Today’s excerpt will be from Chapter 5 of The View From Santa’s Sleigh. This book is the first in my Santa’s Elves series. I’m plan to have the final book in the series done this summer. Today we have Jedrick and Tessa have gone to the family home so that she can get to know the family. And aren’t those family dinner’s just exciting? After all isn’t there someone on your family tree you’d just love to hid away? At this point in the story, that would be Jedrick’s sister, Aingeal. Yeah...great dinner conversation...LOL! Here’s a litte more of their story. Enjoy!



            Standing at the entry, she took off her coat and hat. “Did you guys see the release of sexual energy the other night? Some elf must have really been at it.” Coming into the dining room, she stood looking like a wild woman with black curls tumbling around her face.
            Tessa felt like sinking into the floor, because somehow she knew just who the elf was. Peering closer at the person who could have only been Aingeal, she saw gold glitter in her mouth and realized that the girl had a tongue piercing.
            Suddenly, nine pairs of eyes were all turned in Aingeal’s direction. “What? Did I say something wrong?”
            “Can’t you come in just once without making a scene?” Jedrick questioned angrily.
            “Jedrick,” his father’s hand gripped his arm. “Aingeal, this is Jedrick’s friend, Tessa.”
            Aingeal looked across the table at her. “Hi, Tessa. Did you feel that…oh…I am so sorry,” she said seeing the look on Tessa’s face. “I didn’t mean….”
            “That’s okay.” Tessa leaned forward and peered a little closer. “Is that a tongue piercing?” she questioned innocently.

You can purchase this book here at eXtasy Books.

Please visit the other wonderful authors from My Sexy Saturday as listed below. Each will have something different and exciting to share. We’re here to give you the best in sexy writing, erotic to sensual to tame and everything in between.

Have a great weekend...see you next week!

The Next Big Thing


Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with family and friends, happiness and joy. I was invited this week to take part in a blog hop called The Next Big Thing by Jill Hughey. Her post is at http://jillhughey.blogspot.com and she talks all about her current work in progress.

When she first asked for volunteers, I wasn’t sure I wanted to do it...then...I thought to myself, who doesn’t want to be the next big thing. It’s every author’s dream to hit it big no matter what the venue. The whole point of this hop is to share authors with new readers. At the end of this blog, there is a list of authors who are new to many of you...but more on that later.

Here are the answers to the interview questions for The Next Big Thing:

What is your working title of your book?
My current work in progress is titled A Viennese Christmas and it’s the first in my A Taste of Vienna series.

Where did the idea come from for the book?
I was trying to find a way to learn more about the city I now find myself living in, Vienna, Austria. All my friends told me I should be having a blast and I wasn’t. So, I decided to start this series and I can say I certainly have a different eye for the city now.

What genre does your book fall under?
It’s going to be a sensual romance, which is a departure from my normal erotic romance. The characters told me they wanted things to be more private. I always listen to my characters.

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Now this is hard. The heroine would need to have an air of sweetness around her while the hero would need a great smile. I think I’d pick Ginnifer Goodwin for the heroine and Eion Bailey both of who are from the show, Once Upon A Time, my new favorite.

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Amanda Kranz, alone in Vienna, Austria at Christmas, meets sexy historian Henry Wakeman, who convinces her true love is real and within her grasp.

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
This one will be self-published by my Shooting Star Books imprint.

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
A couple of weeks. It’s short...less than 20K...and I can do those fast.

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
That would be a hard one as I don’t compare myself to other writers much. I think each of us have a unique style.

Who or what inspired you to write this book?
I’d have to say Vienna itself as I’m finding out things I never knew and at one point, I probably wouldn’t have tried to find out about this fabulous city.

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
This book is as accurate as I can make it and it’s told totally from an American point of view by someone who is living there. It’s a nice little romance that fulfills the hope each of us have for Christmas.

Now I have a special treat for each of you...this is a squeee moment for me...here’s the cover!



Isn’t that just the coolest thing you’ve ever seen? My cover artist, Su Kopil from Earthly Charms, is the most amazing person. She got this one done much sooner than I ever thought. The building in the background is called the Rathouse and it’s the home of Vienna’s local government and it looks that amazing all lit up for the holiday season.

Now, it’s time to pass the torch to the authors next in line for The Next Big Thing. Please drop by and see each of them the week of November 26th as they give you their information for their works-in-progress. Here’s there links to their blogs. Drop by next week and see them when you can...I’ll be tweeting and posting them on Facebook when they come out...thanks everyone! Help us all become The Next Big Thing!
