Upside Down by Amie Stuart

May 14, 2008 By: Jenn L Category: Guest Blogger, Contests, Latest News

Or taking the ordinary and giving it a good hard twist!  One of the BEST parts about being a writer is, well, that little god-factor. As in, I am. God. I am the god of every universe I create. I get to make people do things, give them a history and sometimes… sometimes my muse even lets me get away with whatever crazy scheme I cook up.  And in my capacity as god of Amieville, (that’s Amie-ville not Amityville, okay?), I’ve had occasion to say in the middle of plotting a book, “Wow, that’d be a hoot! Let’s do it!”  

That’s usually the point where my muse should tell me no, but doesn’t because she’s out drinking or cavorting with unused heroes or something equally insane. In HANDS ON it was blue-collar chicks, a little BDSM and girls kissing each other, in Kink (in the BUILT anthology) it was 1st person from a dude’s point of view and MAKE U SWEAT (September 08) is about female movers! I even created a hero who was a survivor of spousal abuse.  

Then….there was NAILED my June Aphrodisia release. I played with about five or six different scenarios surrounding my hero being a gun-for-hire, and my heroine being a woman in hiding (with a blue collar job), and one of my critique partners said, “He can’t kill someone on the page. The readers won’t like that.” Keeping in mind she’s often the voice of reason*, this particular time I listened.   And I said in reply, “Hey wouldn’t it be cool/funny/crazy/a complete gas if he was the black sheep because he WOULDN’T kill people?” And Raine said, “Yeah! Do it, DO IT!”   And we laughed…a LOT! Because we thought we were terribly clever and funny.  

So I did it. I made my hero the bane of his father’s existence because he won’t kill; I made my heroine a peeping tom. The one person who is initially a thorn in my heroine’s side later becomes a great good friend (and helps save her skin) and then I jambed my hero’s brother up by making him unable to lie. It’s all in a day’s work, but sometimes being god of the universe can make you reckless…Such as with a hero who can’t lie. WHAT was I thinking? Because, you see, some rather wise writerly person once said, “If you introduce a gun in the first act, you have to use it by the end of the book.” Well I definitely introduced a gun in NAILED, and I had to “use it” in SCREWED …or rather, give the reader a good reason for my hero’s inability to lie. Don’t worry, I found one, but to see how THAT turns out, you’ll have to wait until next March. ;)  

I hope you enjoy Wynn, Bonnie,Clyde and the rest of the crazy-fun cast that makes up NAILED as much as I did!  

———–

*Raine is often the voice of reason but in SCREWED (which is actually two novellas Screwed and Hooked) I did indeed pull the trigger–twice.

Happy Hump Day and what an appropriately titled novel for us to be discussing. NAILED by Amie Stuart hits the Shelves on May 27th.

Seriously speaking,  joining us today is Amie Stuart and if the cover is any indication about this story’s heat level it should be smoking hot.

So please help Kim and I welcome Amie to the Junkies Blog!!

Growing up, Amie wanted to be a lawyer and a psychology. Obviously, she’s seen the error of her ways. Being a writer is so much more fun! She’s the last of a dying breed, a native Texan, and still make her home where cowboys and music (her other two loves) abound.

Nailed by Amie Stuart 

Late Night

As resident fix-it girl for an apartment complex in a tiny Texas town, Bonnie James makes enough money to pay the bills and have a little fun on the side. She likes checking out the other tenants and sometimes indulges in her own sexual fantasies by watching them late at night. It’s exciting, it’s erotic, and it always leaves her ready and willing for more.

Turn On

When you’re a bounty hunter, late night stake-outs are part of the job. So Wynn Collier should be concentrating on his own business, not watching a Peeping Tom with the sweetest body west of the Mississippi. But he’s a hot-blooded male on a hot Texas night and he can’t resist the chance to investigate every one of her delectable curves.

Dream of a Series by Taige Crenshaw

May 13, 2008 By: Jenn L Category: Guest Blogger, Latest News

I was talking the other day about dreams giving me some of my idea for my books. Dreams are indeed powerful. I’ve been known to dream of an outfit I want and then wake and make it. I love to sew. I also love to cook and have been know to dream of delicious dishes and then get up and make them. Yeah I dream of food. LOL.  

Thinking of the dreams I’ve had It got me to thinking of one of my series that came from a dream. My Rarities Incorporated series came from a dream. Let me take you inside my dream that became my Rarities Incorporated series.   

It was a dark cold night when I dreamed…. nah that’s not how it happened. Hey what can I say I’m a writer and kinda quirky. {Grin}. Here how it really happened. 

 I was in a deep sleep minding my own business when all of a sudden I found myself sitting at this table with a bunch of women. Each proceeded to introduce themselves. I was confused but let them have there way. When they were done the first one to introduce herself Zarya Burke lifted her hand and I was floating in the air. I rolled my eyes and told her to get to the point. The women looked at each other and laughed with me. They lowered me back to my chair and told me of a race called Zuri Maji. They told me of what they were and all they could do. That they had many stories to be told and would tell me more as needed.  

I jerked awake and I had goose bumps. I ran to my desk and took pen and paper and wrote all I had been told. The women I had met in my dream are the women who were the owner of Rarities Incorporated which appears in my series. Each woman was distinct and I wanted to get what I had gotten from them down clearly. Once I was done writing I had books of information waiting for the first story to come to me.  

Fast forward months later and again I was asleep and a Rarities Incorporated story came to me. It unfolded in a cinematic movie I went through all the steps the heroine and hero did. It happened at Christmas and in where I was originally born. Besides the Zuri Maji it had a race of beings that were both unique and beautiful. Again I woke revived and went to write furiously. Veils Rising took form and when done I was pleased and a story in Rarities Incorporated was started.  

When an opportunity came up for me to be a part of a special theme with EC my publisher I was racking my brain on what to write it on. Again another dream and I was met by the women who were in charge of Rarities Incorporated at the table we had sat at before. They let me know the first story I had written was out of order in which the stories needed to be told and I needed to fix it. Then they sent me on my way to the adventure which became Golden Seduction. As I entered the dream of Golden Seduction I met my heroine who is an ultimate geek more comfortable with computers than people. When a man comes out of a tarot card she is confused but not shocked. She works Rarities Incorporated, a place with many beings. When she hears his plight she doesn’t think she can help him she is not athletic and more adapt at books. Yet the hero has fate in her and knows he needs her. She steps up and they have an adventure which shows the sense of hope and sensuality. The hope of the hero and heroine. The sensuality of their love story that touched many emotions. After I woke I wrote furiously.  

Before I could even digest the story another dream came to me the next night. Shadow Dane featured a heroine who was tackle charge and knew what she wanted. A hero who has seen to much and trusts even less. His control is shredded by her and she wants him but not all the strings he offers. They find common ground. Have an adventure that led’s them to secrets and so much more. It was intense, exhilarating and sexy. Upon waking I was torn between which to write first. The two stories happened during the same time frame so it really didn’t matter. I wrote Golden Seduction then after it was done immediately wrote Shadow Dance.  While I wrote them I didn’t dream of anything but the stories. After they were complete I found myself once again at the table with the women who run Rarities Incorporated. They were pleased with what I had done and couldn’t wait to meet the world.  They sent me off and said be ready for my next adventure soon.  

They were right. Since then I have had many adventures in the Rarities Incorporated world and each one revels more and more. Besides the Zuri Maji there are many races I get to explore. I enjoy each adventure and imagine it all started with a dream. 

A dream of a series.

Welcome Guest Blogger Kathryn Shay!!!

May 12, 2008 By: Jenn L Category: Guest Blogger, Latest News

It’s Monday and lucky for us we have Author Kathryn Shay joining us. Sit back and enjoy this blog from Kathryn and comment away I hear she is giving book away today. 

 

Hello, Romance Junkies.

 

I love the name of this site! I, too, am a romance junkie and proud of it! 

First, a bit about me.  I’m Kathryn Shay and I write for Harlequin SuperRomance and The Berkley Publishing Group. I have twenty-books out for Super and ten for Berkley.  I’ve been a writer all my life, though my chosen profession was teaching high school English. Now, I’m a full time author.  I have a wonderful hero of a husband, two terrific kids and some very good friends.

 

I’m here today to talk about my current release, TAKING THE HEAT.  The book is about widower Liam O’Neil who lost his wife three years ago to cancer and is ready to date again. He meets Sophie Tyler, rough and tumble female firefighter from New York City, and is attracted to her. But his sons are still suffering over the loss of their mother and Liam feels he can’t risk getting involved with someone in a dangerous profession.  Too bad, though, because they can’t help themselves and sparks fly, emotionally, physically and on the line.

 

Two questions that the book deals with might be of interest to you. First, can people from totally different worlds find common ground and build a life together?  This is one of the themes of the book. Liam is a staid, salt-of-the-earth cook at his family’s pub. He’s just an ordinary guy trying to make his way after the death of his wife three years ago and the subsequent difficulties with his boys, primarily the younger one, little Mikey.  But Liam’s ready to date again; he just didn’t think it would be with an FDNY firefighter. But when Sophie joins her station house group at the pub most mornings for breakfast, she’s attracted to Liam.  Their entire orientation is different, their jobs couldn’t be further apart and even their world view is at odds.  So how are they going to get together? Since this is a romance, you know they do. But, boy, is it a rocky road, and the times they are apart are excruciating for the characters, for me as a writer, and I’ll bet for you as a reader.  For me personally, an opposites-attract relationship has been an issue. My husband and I are very different, and have been since we married over thirty years ago.  He likes different things, has different views on raising the kids, and sometimes simply doesn’t understand me! But we’ve managed to work it out, compromising and giving in to each other when necessary.  And you know what? I love that he’s different. He’s really interesting to me after all these years.  Do you all think opposites can make it work? Any personal experiences to share?

 

The second question the book raises is how much responsibility does a parent have to his kids when it means giving up something very important in his life?  Seven-year-old Mikey is depressed and fearful, even three years after his mother died. So is teenager Cleary, though he hides it behind adolescent bravado.  When Sophie comes into their world, Mike is afraid of what she does for a living and worries about her all the time. Cleary is irritable about her relationship with his father.  (By the way, some of the best scenes of the book are with these guys. Oh, other than the hot sex between Liam and Sophie. J)  Liam himself is tortured about what to do: should he accept a woman into their lives who routinely walks into burning buildings?  Again, this is an issue I’ve struggled with raising two kids. How do you balance your own needs and desires with theirs?  I do believe in sacrificing for my children, and have done it, but I’m not sure a person should give up his dreams for them. What do you think?

 

I’ll be back to check to see what you’re all thinking about these questions and my work. And I’ll be giving away a book, too.

 

Till then,

Kathy Shay

Sisters in Romance by Kimber Chin

May 08, 2008 By: Jenn L Category: Latest News

With Mother’s Day coming up, I was thinking about all the important women in my life.  Two of these women are my sisters, both younger than myself, both very different, yet we’re all similar enough that complete strangers recognize us as being related.

 

Our romance heroines also often have sisters.  I’m not a fan of the evil sister/stepsister phenom (maybe because I fear being nominated in real life for that role).  On the other hand, I don’t believe in “perfect” sister relationships either (we grew up pulling each other’s hair, how could it be perfect?). 

The great sister relationships in romance are more complex.  Lillian and Daisy Bowman from Lisa Kleypas’ Wallflower series are two of my favorites.  Both women have a shared childhood and many characteristics in common, including loving hearts and a tendency to play rounders in their knickers.  They are also two very different people.  Lillian, the elder, is quite bossy and controlling (being an elder sister, I’ll admit to being quite bossy and controlling).  Daisy, the youngest, is a bit of a dreamer and a tad bit sheltered (as my sisters may be reading this, I won’t say whether this applies to them – let’s just say it COULD happen).  They love each other and the men loving them face the additional hurdle of convincing over protective sisters that they’re ‘good enough.’

 

In my first novel, Breach Of Trust, Anne, the heroine, has a complicated relationship with her younger sister Ginny.  They were assigned labels growing up, as many children are, that they struggle to move past in adulthood.  Anne is the smart sister.  Ginny is the pretty sister. 

I cheated a bit, grounding it in my own experience (sans the drama – my life isn’t that exciting).  I was always labeled the smart sister.  Like Anne, I don’t think it was because I was more intelligent.  I believe it was because I had brunette hair while my two sisters had gorgeous golden red locks (that curled and bounced around their shoulders while mine sat on my head like some dead rodent).  It wasn’t all that bad.  I worked harder in school and in life to prove this tag correct.  Anne did the same.  It contributed to our successes.

 

So who are your favorite fictional sisters?  What do you love about them?  What makes them special?  One lucky commenter will receive an eBook copy of my first ever novel Breach Of Trust.               

Welcome Guest Blogger Kimber Chin!!!!

May 08, 2008 By: Jenn L Category: Guest Blogger, Contests, Latest News

Happy Thursday!!!! Please welcome Kimber Chin to the Junkies Blog.

Kimber will be discussing”Sisters in Romance” as well as giving one lucky poster a copy of her novel BREACH OF TRUST.

Here’s a glimpse at the author and her current release.

I’m a businessbabe.  Wait, wait, don’t go anywhere!  I’m not going to talk about numbers or anything.  (Please note for the record that there are no numbers or math in any of my romance novels.)  I don’t know why business is always associated with math, it is so much more exciting than that.

 

Don’t believe me?  Men in suits, need I say more?  Okay, okay, how about a Brad Pitt look-a-like in a suit?  Sure, he’s getting older (so am I) but I still wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers.  In fact, I think most men look good in suits.  Even The Donald with his crazy comb over cuts an impressive figure in his navy blue suits and 1980’s red ties.   

Why am I talking about The Donald?  I’m supposed to be introducing myself.  Hi, I’m Kimber Chin (chorus of hello Kimber Chin).  I write contemporary romances based in the business world so I can write about various uses for that overly large boardroom table.  As I’m incredibly lazy, much of the research comes from real life (not the boardroom table antics – those come from rumors, not real life).  Some of it is fiction too so don’t think that flirting with a venture capitalist will land your company financing (that doesn’t happen in my book either – not for lack of trying).

 

My characters have lives of their own, not starting or stopping with the novels.  I explore some of these stories on my site http://businessromance.com/ every week.  Be warned:  these stories are not edited and I have a habit of going off on tangents.  Read at your own risk. 

Breach of Trust by Kimber Chin 

Blurb Time (like Hammertime except you can touch it all you want)

 

Breach Of Trust

Site Info: http://businessromance.com/

When business secrets are spilled, can love survive?

When You Play With The Best…

For years, Anne James has played a dangerous game, secretly manipulating venture capitalist Philippe Lamont into financing her clients. She knew there would be a price to pay for her arrogance. That price, she thought, was three months of negotiated torture as his sexy Girl Friday.

…The Stakes Are High

Anne was wrong. In Philippe’s fast paced world of start up investing, the lines between business and personal blur. One misstep, one misplaced confidence, and Anne could lose her heart, her business, and her life.

 

Welcome Guest Blogger Annette Blair!!!!

May 06, 2008 By: Jenn L Category: Guest Blogger, Latest News

Today is an exciting one for our guest today. Her second book in her newest trilogy releases today, so without further ado please give Annette Blair a  warm Romance Junkies Welcome!! And Make sure you enter to win a copy of SEX AND THE PSYCHIC WITCH all you have to do is comment, see the end of this blog for details.

 Gone With the Witch Annette Blair

 

There’s a Storm on the way in GONE WITH THE WITCH, May 6, 2008

“Psychic witches with attitude SPELL identical-triplet trouble in spikes!”  In a nutshell this is the story of my Triplet Witch Trilogy: 

  1. SEX AND THE PSYCHIC WITCH, Harmony’s story, in stores now.

  2. GONE WITH THE WITCH, Storm’s story, due in stores TODAY!

  3. NEVER BEEN WITCHED, coming in February, 2009.

But Today’s blog is about Storm, the Goth rebel with attitude.  Storm Cartwright grew up knowing she was the straw that broke the camel’s back, that it was her arrival that sent their mother running from the hospital before their father ever came to pick them up.  

Each of the triplets has a psychic gift. Harmony sees the past. Destiny sees the future, but Storm sees the present. What good is that? Everybody sees the present, don’t they? 

Storm thinks so until Aiden McCloud arrives on the scene: 

In his presence she hears a baby crying. Abducting him is the only way to follow the sound and find the child. Her scheme includes his luxury motor coach, seduction . . . and four pairs of fuzzy purple handcuffs. 

Neither Aiden nor Storm knows who they really are and it takes a wacky road trip and discoveries of all sorts, including secrets, secrets, secrets, for Storm to spot the real Aiden inside the hermit wanderer, and for Aiden to peel away Storm’s tough outer layers to find the jewel hidden deep inside.   

I had a blast writing their story.  I fell in love with all of them. GONE WITH THE WITCH is like nothing I’ve ever written, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of it.  

So don’t forget: handcuffs and secrets, psychics and sex, the sound of crying babies, dragons and tabloids . . . a bad boy and a bad girl, and all the trouble they can get into.  

GONE WITH THE WITCH . . . on sale TODAY.  

ps: It’s already hit some bestseller lists!

An excerpt!  

The Story of the story

“OMG, what a fantastically fun story! GONE WITH THE WITCH has it all; sensuously personable characters, breath-taking romance and a story line that is amusing and totally unique. Talented Annette Blair continues her triplet witch books with Storm’s story, my favorite of the triplets. GONE WITH THE WITCH, don’t you love that title, is a stand alone book but I bet you won’t be able to resist buying just this one book by Annette Blair; she is addictive!  Sultry.” Sensual & Erotic Ecataromance 

“A spellbinding story that totally knocked my socks off! Once again I find myself in awe over the author’s ability to make the characters so memorable…will leave you with a big smile on your face. Author Annette Blair writes priceless romance adventures.” Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews 

“GONE WITH THE WITCH is sensual, close to being erotic…a touching emotional tale. I’ve read all the ‘witchy’ tales from Ms. Blair…I recommend them all for your reading pleasure.” Carol Carter, Romance Reviews Today 

“Great fun! Wonderful characters, a riveting storyline and a sensuous undercurrent…phenomenal… Storm is a hoot! She had me rolling in laughter through the entire story. She’s wild and carefree while Aiden has his own surefire beliefs about everything. The romance that blooms between these two…will have reader’s hearts melting. The adventure Aiden and Storm embark on to find this crying baby will have you riveted to the pages… Annette Blair always has fun with her witch characters…very evident in this story. If you’ve never read her before, please do! I guarantee you’ll be a die-hard fan in no time.” ~Amanda Haffery, Romance Junkies 

“Annette Blair’s second contribution to her Triplet trilogy should come with oven mitts as it is hot, hot, hot. The ending is just wonderful, with fantastic characters and a strong narrative. If the reader likes her romantic comedies just shy of being classified as erotica, this is definitely the book for you!  Believe me when I say, this is one road trip you do not want to miss!” Betty Cox, Reader to Reader 

“An emotionally charged story…GONE WITH THE WITCH starts out as somewhat light, bawdy, entertaining fun, which is what I thoroughly enjoy in all of Ms. Blair’s books. She can be hysterically outrageous, and I can count on several laugh-out-loud moments. This story tugged at the heart as I was drawn into a tale of two people who’ve lived on the surface of life, afraid to seek greater depth to their existence for fear of being hurt yet again. Storm and Aiden are made for one another, and their discovery of this fact makes a truly satisfying story. This book is a definite addition to my keeper shelf.”  Paula Myers, Fresh Fiction 

“Again there is plenty of magic and spell casting, as well as lots of hot, sexy situations. There are a number of familiar characters mentioned and some charming new ones, and both main characters develop wonderfully over the course of the story.”  Susan Mobley, Romantic Times
 

“Whimsical, witty, and wonderful,

Blair’s Witches are a magical bunch that are sure to enchant readers everywhere.”

~Madelyn Alt, Author of HEX MARKS THE SPOT

Sexual Sacrament by Angela Caperton

April 30, 2008 By: Jenn L Category: Guest Blogger, Latest News

I believe that sex is a sacrament.

Even casual sex can give us a glimpse of the divine, but sex between two people who love each other deeply is a transcendent experience that takes us out of our own skin and into a realm of sensual communion that surpasses all others. Even if you dismiss the mystical reasons why this might be so, you are left with a fascinating web of biology and pheromones more intoxicating than a lotus’ kiss.

Whatever your belief, sex has a meaning.

It is a magic anyone can cast, practical and liberating.  It is a worship of our senses, our creator’s gifts, and testament to the blessings of life itself.

Good sex turns flesh into energy and melds two (or more) conscious spirits into one.

This is a theme I find myself returning to constantly in my writing.  In a way, nearly everything I write is about the sacred nature of sex, and I strongly suspect that will always be the case.

In my award winning erotic fantasy Woman of the Mountain, I created a world where sex is not just intrinsic to life and happiness; it is the core of the dominant belief system in the culture of a realm.  The story centers on the heroine, Adita, the high priestess to the goddess Zenthe, a deity who represents the very essence of sexual pleasure and the overwhelming power of love.  In the story, Adita must fulfill her obligations to Zenthe, but must also contend with a jealous rival, the growing threat of a patriarchal religious movement that seeks to overthrow Zenthe’s influence, and her own forbidden desire for her Captain of the Guard, Casmin.

I aimed to create a world where sexuality is sacred, not only in rite or doctrine, but as an unfettered and freely expressed expression of every element of life.

Sex is powerful magic. When it is mated with heart-filled desire and a love powerful enough to challenge destiny the earth moves…

Now you know my views of sexual sacrament.  What do you think about sexuality and the divine?

Happy Wednesday Romance Junkies. It looks as though another month of 2008 has come to an end. Slowly we creep toward Summer. When the temperatures rise and I find that I read more and more. IMO there’s nothing better than the lazy days of Summer where life slows down some and I can sit by the pool and read.

Joining us today is Angela Caperton and I mentioned Summer reading beacuse it’s the time of the year that I get the chance to discover and enjoy authors who are new to me. Angela falls into this catagorey for me so I’m glad she’s joining us to day and sharing her thoughts and her novel WOMAN OF THE MOUNTAIN. So Sit back enjoy and see if you can add one more TBR author to your Summer reading list as well.

Born in Virginia and later raised on a sailboat, Angela Caperton has traveled extensively and has grown up to appreciate the world in all its forms.  Always looking for the next adventure, she continues to travel as fate permits and writes fantasy and erotica to keep her wanderlust in check.  Currently she has three works available, Inspiration, an erotic novella set in Renaissance Florence, her erotic fantasy and 2008 EPPIE Winner, Woman of the Mountain, and her erotic fairy tale, The Passions of Pearl.

Womanof the Mountain by Angela Caperton

 The fate of Corsinium depends upon Adita’s passion.
 
Within her mountain temple, Adita, High Priestess of the goddess Zenthe, presides over orgiastic rites of love and desire…
 
Only the most brave suitors dare approach her, for failure to please the High Priestess can only end in tragedy.  As land and people suffer from droughts, floods and war, Adita must find the a way to lift Zenthe’s sorrow, even if it means sacrificing her own desires to serve her beloved goddess, and all Corsinium.
 
Casmin’s destiny had always been to serve Zenthe.  Now as Captain of the temple guard, Casmin must balance his forbidden love for Adita, the deadly allure of the First Priestess and the growing threat of the rival god Kahmudj.
 
When all the forces of deity and love converge, it takes all Adita’s will, Casmin’s strength, and an erotic rite powerful enough to shake creation itself to spare Corsinium a cataclysmic end…
