Sexy Me Twice ~ @oddlynn3 #MySexySaturday #LynnCrain #MSSAuthors #BYNR

Welcome to week 89^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is Sexy Me Twice and it’s all about lovers who can’t get enough of each other. In my stories, I have a lot of lovers who can’t get enough of each other. So…where do I start? LOL! All right, all right…I’ll just pick one.

Don’t forget Monday’s Austria Scoop where I talk about living in Austria and Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Live where I talk life and writing. Both can be incredibly boring or incredibly exciting. It all depends on the day and if there are limos and tiaras in the picture.

The story I’m going to highlight today is actually on pre-order for just $0.99 at all the major venues. Look for me to do a little more about it on Wednesday as it’s set to be released on April 29^th and it’s part of the Blue Moon Magic series. Here’s the set up:

Blue Moon Magic

One father.

Two mothers.

Four siblings.

One incredible story about that special night which changes them all. Forever.

Blurb: All his life he felt he hadn’t belonged but it wasn’t until Clarity Langford appeared did he know the truth of it. Once that truth was revealed there was no going back for Connor Angus, only forward. He discovers he is the long thought dead son of pack Elite leader, Charles Langford. And with that knowledge comes a family full of sisters, mystery and longing for things he’s not sure he has any right to obtain and one of those things is Cordelia Sinclair.

Here’s my seven paragraphs from Night of the Blue Moon:

“You know, I think you’re a little bit sexy when you’re pissed like this. I can smell your pheromones. You want me.” He took a long, slow whiff of her, as if to imprint her on his memory.

“I don’t even know you!” She screamed and tried to buck him off her even as her nipples hardened under her. Heat swelled in the V of her thighs and feelings began to overwhelm her. Feelings that she had never felt before in all her life. Not even with her husband. It was like her body already knew this man intimately.

He leaned down into her softness, and she could feel his body coming to life. His hardness pressed into her butt and all she wanted to do was to get herself out of her pajamas. Thank God, she had decided to sleep with them on last night.

“If I didn’t know better, I’d say that you like it this way.” He ground his body into hers a little more. “Take that back, I know you like it. I can smell it on you and your wet body is telling me exactly what you want. Your body is betraying you.”

Enraged, she slammed her head against his nose. “You don’t know me well enough to know how I like it. And you don’t know anything about my body.”

She heard him groan as she cracked his face. Still, he wouldn’t let go.

“It’s not going to be that easy,” he whispered close to her ear. He started to rock his now very hard cock into the gentle curve of her ass as he rained light, feathery kisses on her neck.

This is the last book in the Blue Moon Magic series and I’ll be highlighting the complete series on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week as all the books have been released by Wednesday. It’s an awesome series and some of you may have seen it before when it was released by a previous publisher. We pulled it from that publisher, re-edited it and added a few new things. Then we added some amazing covers to the whole thing. I really hope you enjoy it

Also, my traditional ePublisher, eXtasy Books 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!

I'm So Sexy ~ @oddlynn3 #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MSSAuthors #LynnCrain

Welcome to week 75th week of My Sexy Saturday. The week’s theme is I’m So Sexy but it isn’t about those pretentions flops who think they are God’s gift to the world. It’s about those who don’t know they’re sexy. Like the girl or boy next door. Those characters are the special kind of sexy and exude it but don’t necessarily know they do.

We’re into our third week of 2015 and I’ve made quite a few changes to things I’m doing. First, I’m getting more organized so that I can do more for you, my readers and fans, over the coming year. After all, as much as this is all about me, the truth of the matter is that really this is all for you, dear readers and fans. Without you, there wouldn’t be a me at all and I understand this with all my heart.

This year is going to be all about you and what I can be doing for you. Check out my Facebook author page to see what I’m giving away for Christmas. The announcement of a single winner will be made tomorrow. If you’re wondering why so late, the problem is that people didn’t comment at all. If you don’t comment, you can’t win. So if you haven’t commented, do so quickly and you’ll be in the drawing for some fabulous gifts. And yes, I’ll ship anywhere in the world. Good luck.

This week in Austria has been another weird one. Temperatures have been all over the place from hot to cold to blustery winds. Today as I look out my window, it’s a very gray day. Rain was initially in the forecast but that has changed to snow flurries late tonight. Right now, one living here doesn’t know if we’re supposed to wear our long johns or our bikinis. Seriously. But all laughing aside, NOAA determined that last year was the hottest year on record since they had started keeping records. Pretty scary if you ask me.

One of the things I did this week was to organize all my writing projects for the year. And that included the revision portions of them as well. So far, there are thirteen books to start or finish and five to revise. I was lucky enough to finally find a great spreadsheet that will allow me to track up to 8 projects per spreadsheet for a year. I’ll be writing more about that in my new weekly column called My Writing Life. I figure it’s about time for you all to get a glimpse into my life. Yeah, it’s not all limos and tiaras, let me assure you.

This week, I’m sharing sexy seven paragraphs from a new story in my Captive Illusions series, Merrick and Jenna. The series is all about a woman’s deep, dark fantasies, so imagine my surprise when the characters hijacked this book and started making it their own. Jenna is one of those girls who is very sexy and doesn’t know it. But Merrick knows it very well and he’s going to teach her just what she does to him. Right now, this books is 28% complete and you’ll start to see my WIPs in my sidebar this week. It will be published by my traditional epublisher, eXtasy Books sometime this year. I’ll keep you posted on when. Here’s the setup:

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?

This series is very interesting to write because while they are all about finding one’s soulmate, they are also a menage series. I love writing this because it is very different from what I normally write. Hopefully, you’ll find this snippet compelling enough to pick up the first in the series, Captive Illusions: Iain and Kelsey at eXtasy Books. Enjoy this exclusive snippet from the coming soon 2^nd book in the series, Merrick and Jenna.

She felt his hands at the back of her head. Soon the silken scarf was around her neck as she raised her gaze to stare into the bluest eyes she had ever seen. Her breath quickened as those eyes watched her intently. “Why are you staring at me?” she questioned softly.

“You’re beautiful,” he answered without hesitation. “And I’d like to hear your explanation of why I should kill a beautiful woman.”

Jenna felt the heat in her cheeks. She had wanted to hear those words from someone for so long and here, a sworn enemy, told her the very thing she needed to hear. “Thank you.”

“You’re very welcome.” He ran his fingers along her bare body in a straight line, paying special attention to her breasts and legs. Kneeling in front of her between her legs, he ran his hands along her inner thighs. “But you still haven’t told me why you think I’m going to kill you.”

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?”

This book is will be available from my traditional publisher, eXtasy Books, who is currently having a $0.99 sale on some of my books. And what’s even more wonderful is that book 1 in the series is currently one of the books on sale. There’s a big selection and 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 like. Pick up your copies today!

My Sexy Howl ~ @oddlynn3 #MySexySaturday #LynnCrain

Welcome to week 51 at My Sexy Saturday and this week I’m helping to celebrate a wonderful friend’s 10^th publishing anniversary. Please, please look at yesterday’s blog for all the particulars but I really do believe that you’ll love reading about Mel’s book A Little Harmless Sex. I was one of her critique partners then and I knew it was something special. So please visit yesterday’s blog and get in on the exciting giveaways that we’re all having in her honor.

Now, this week at My Sexy Saturday is all about my sexy howl. Basically, we’re all about shifters here. So, we’ll get back to Captain Bekka Taylor on another day. Today, I want to talk all about my book Night of the Blue Moon. It’s hot, it’s sexy and it’s just the type of shifter book you’re looking forward to reading on that hot, summer night.

Here’s the set up for the series:

Blue Moon Magic

One father.

Two mothers.

Four siblings.

One incredible story about that special night which changes them all. Forever.

And here’s a little bit about the man in this wonderful story…all his life he felt he hadn’t belonged but it wasn’t until Clarity Langford appeared did he know the truth of it. Once that truth was revealed there was no going back for Connor Angus, only forward. He knows his arrival on the scene has thrown his sisters for a loop and turned their ordered world into chaos in more ways than he can imagine. Still, he had to find his way among the Elite that he had been trained to fight all his life when he discovered he is the long thought dead son of pack Elite leader, Charles Langford. And with that knowledge comes a family full of sisters, mystery and longing for things he’s not sure he has any right to obtain.

Here’s my sexy seven paragraphs from my book, Night of the Blue Moon. You can get it here at Loose Id Books.

“It’s not going to be that easy,” he whispered close to her ear. Rocking slightly, his very hard cock touched the curve of her ass as his lips rained light, feathery kissed on her neck.

God, he almost had her undone. “What are you doing to me?”

“What would you like me to do to you?” he questioned and flipped her over to stare into her face. Reaching down, his hands were placed on either side of her head and pulled her up to meet him. Lips and tongues met forcefully, pulling and tasting and testing. Gently, he nipped at her bottom lip.

He felt so good up against her. Greedily, her hands went under his t-shirt and felt the muscles, outlining each piece of molded flesh. There was no way she could have beat him no matter how hard she tried. Letting her hands roam up his chest, her fingers plucked his nipples until they were hard, delighting in the sound he made.

“God, woman, you make me crazy.” Reaching for the collar of her shirt, he ripped the fabric down the center, revealing her now taunt breasts.

“Not fair,” she whispered. “Take this off.” Cordelia tugged at his shirt until it slid over his head with a whoosh. He stopped and looked at her for a moment, before leaning down to take her nipple in his mouth. She could see the bruises spreading across his cheeks and knew her body carried the ugly splotches as well. The original question of who he was floated into her mind but at this very moment, she didn’t give a damn.

He shoved his knee between her legs and pulled her tightly to him then stood up. Wrapping his arm around her middle, she groaned with pleasure while his thigh ground into her crotch. She’d never walked this subtle line between passion and hate or fear. Her relationships were always safe, comfortable, allowing her the luxury of getting to know a person before taking the next step.  There was something definitely unsafe about this man if he made her throw all caution to the wind.

Wednesday's Writer with Kay Dee Royal ~ @KayDeeRoyal #MIHAuthors

We're here today with the lovely Kay Dee Royal. Please join me in welcoming her.

Tell us about your latest book, including its genre. Does it cross over to other genres? If so, what are they?

Savage Smoke is the 2^nd book in my LIIA (Lycan International Investigation Agency) series – Trevor wants his primal-mate back, but he’s afraid she’s in too deep with Smoke (notorious villain) and his pack. This is a paranormal erotic romance with a number of relationships intertwining throughout the series, it has a mystery/suspense element with the detective-like agencies involved. 

What can we expect from you in the future?

Book 3 in this series – Smoke-n-Bliss. Another series is bubbling to the surface…more shifters. Plus I have another story (Dragons, Fairies, Other Realms) unfinished (but close) started a few years ago…I believe the characters are tired of animated suspension *smiles*

Why did you decide to write romance novels?

That’s easy…because I love to read themJ

How much of your personality and life experiences are in your writing?

Of course there’s some of ‘me,’ but mostly it’s my wild imagination and maybe some from the people I know or read about or watch on television :)

When did you first think about writing and what prompted you to submit your first ms?

I’ve always had an interest in writing, and wrote little stories, even kept detailed journals since my early teens. Then when I resigned from the corporate world, I took the plunge into the writing world and have never looked back. I initially took courses to write children’s books and with the encouragement of my instructor and also from my mentor, I submitted my first book to twenty-some publishers – and got rejections from all of them. I initially wanted to quit then…took months for me to pick up my pen.

But I’d already invested a lot of time, money, and effort into writing and was going to be damned if it would beat me. Yep…after picking myself up out of discouragement and dusting off despair, I went at writing like a full-blown steam engine.

Generally, how long does it take you to write a book?

I wish I knew (LOL). I’ve only got a few books under my belt and they all took different lengths of time. This last one took the longest at 18 months…and I truly believe it’s because I fought with the villain – he was meant to die, but he had different thoughts on that action and stole my pen. As if I only owned that one pen, I couldn’t move forward with the story…until Smoke got his way and lived.

Do you have a set schedule for writing or do you just go with the flow?

Because I do more than write (edit, blog, promote, etc.), I do go with the flow, making a daily ‘to do’ priority list…trying to set a writing schedule is the fastest way to stop me from writing anything – as much as I’d like more discipline;)

Where do you start when writing? Research, plotting, outline, or...?

A quick fifteen – Meet in the Middle Plotting event (thanks to Claudia Suzanne!). Then I write up character sketches and begin any early research required. I like to get at least the first few pages written so I know the characters beginning and can use ‘what if’ scenarios to keep the flow of the story moving.

Guess I’m really a bit of a panster ;)

What do you do to relax and recharge your batteries?

Spend time with my grandchildren – nothing gives me more of a reason for ‘being’ than they do;)

What are your thoughts on love scenes in romance novels? Do you find them difficult to write?

Love and lust scenes are part of the genre…open door policy ;) I’m always trying to hone my craft and these scenes are part of it. My goal is to write sexy scenes that can be explicit, sensual, and yet honor the characters and plot of their story. Those scenes come fast for me…I write everything down as it flows…then, I go back through and revise. I don’t find them difficult to write, but I know there’s always room for improvement ;)

What does your husband think of your writing?

My DH has always been supportive of my work. Under another name I write young adult…and I believe he likes that genre best for me *smiles* But, he knows how much I love writing erotic romance, so he takes me to dinner on book release day in celebrationJ

Do you ever ask him/her for advice?

No, never…well, unless it has to do with research of locations. My locations are fairly rustic and he’s familiar with a number of the locations in my books.

Leather or lace? Denim

Black or red? Black

Satin sheets or Egyptian cotton? Cotton – lots of thread count

Ocean or mountains? Mountains

City life or country life? Definitely country

Hunky heroes or average Joe? It’s my fantasy, right?…hunky heroes

Party life or quiet dinner for two? Quiet dinner for two…picnic is best.

Dogs or cats? I love them both.

Dessert ~ Crème Brulee

City ~ None – a rural girl

Season ~ Fall

Type of hero ~ Alpha-type, hard to show emotion, loyal

Type of heroine ~ Strong, courageous, stands up for her beliefs

Excerpt

They all shifted to human-form, standing in the shelter of the trees under the cloud cover and snow filtered mid-morning light. No movement, no sound, nothing came from Smoke’s pack site. With Chance pointing at each, Dir, Damen, and Trevor, to take a different direction, they dispersed.

Any other time Trevor might have enjoyed running naked in the snow, but today his heart stuck in his throat, tremors of need waded through him and it disgusted him. Fine hairs of Lindsey’s arousal flitted in the air and struck him like a baseball bat to the head. It lured him on to a snow-covered deck. Trevor opened the door of a small cabin. Lindsey’s scent poured over him. He stood paralyzed. Damen shoved past him.

“Is it your primal-mate’s scent in this room?” Damen stomped around, looking through drawers and across tables. “Well, it’s everywhere if it is.”

Trevor struggled, wanting to smash Damen’s face in and not understanding why. He stepped into the room. Her scent blasted against him, touching, spiraling from every direction. He stopped in the center of the room and instantly grew hard for her.

“Arousal isn’t going to get her back,” Damen shot. Chance walked in right then or Trevor would have nailed Damen. Chance glared from one to the other, gaze dropping to notice Trevor’s state.

“What’d you find in here? Anything useful?” Chance asked.

“Only that this must have been where they kept Lindsey. Her fragrance fills the place,” Trevor spat. Anyone with half a nose could pick up the arousal interspersed in Lindsey’s scent.

“Well, it just might be her smell that carries us to where everyone went. For some reason, it’s the only one uncloaked. You don’t suppose she ran off before the others?” Chance looked thoughtful. “It’d explain why her scent is the only one we can pick up.”

Dir walked in just then. “Lindsey’s trace loops around this cabin and goes off into the forest from the backside. There’s so much snowfall, tracks are pretty much covered. But, I think there’s enough of her aroma to hold us on the trail.”

“You don’t think this is a trap, do you?” Damen stared at Chance, then at Trevor.

Trevor still wanted to punch him.

“Her scent outside is at least a day old, if not longer. Human female scents in the big building are only hours old. They saturate the inside, but there’s nothing outside. So, I’m betting they used the camouflage drug, Total Eclipse, on them,” Dir stated.

“I took in most of the perimeter. Saw no one, but I caught Lindsey’s tang as well,” Chance added. “I say we go wolf and follow it. But no pack-communication. None. Is that clear?”

“Gotcha,” Dir answered. He moved away from the door and everyone filed out of the cabin.

Trevor couldn’t wait to get out and go wolf-form to hide his arousal. This capture would be the hardest for him and yet the most wanted. He needed to know which side of the fence Lindsey would choose so he could finally move on. Stagnated was a bitch.
