The cover for my book of poetry

So what do you think?

Six Sentence Sunday 12/11/2011

Here we are once again.  Time for the Sunday Six.  This week’s group is a bit of one of the love scenes between Quinn and Jake in For the Love of Quinn.

Her fingers slid from his shoulders to become entangled in his hair as his mouth found her throat.  He knew that was a hot zone for her, and the inevitable happened.  His hands were there to feel her brand-new panties get drenched.  His fingers quickly found the Velcro at her hips.  He looked into her eyes and tore the panties away so they fell to the floor. “Yum.”

Want to see more?  Get your copy of For the Love of Quinn to see just how hot this couple can get.  Will Quinn end up with Jake, or will she choose Steve?

Make sure you stop by and check out the sixes from the other amazing authors participating this week.  Here is the link!  http://sixsunday.com/

Next week I will be in the middle of the Stuff Your Stocking Christmas Blog Hop.  It starts on my birthday, December 16th and runs through Sunday December 18th.  I will be giving away a copy of For the Love of Quinn to one lucky person who leaves a comment.  You can stop by and leave a comment each day because my submission is a three parter.  I will be posting a free short story called A Christmas Miracle for Jake.  Each day will have a third of the story so make sure you come back each day so you don’t miss a thing.  And yes, you guessed it.  This story surrounds Jake from For the Love of Quinn.  It takes place ten years before and gives a bit more background into all the characters.

There are prizes being awarded at every stop along the blog hop so make sure you stop by as many of them as you can and leave a comment.  There are some very cool prizes.  Here is the link. Mark it on your calenders!

I’m Going to Publish a Book of my Poetry!

I’ve decided to go ahead and put together a book of my poetry following my journey to find myself, through love and loss and finding my true soul mate.  In this day and age, self publishing is not hard at all.  I’ve shared many of my poems with you here and with friends and family.  It’s time to put them all together in one volume.

I’m so excited!  I’m still working on the title. I need something that conveys the journey the poems take you through.  If you have a suggestion, leave a comment below.  In the meantime, I will let you know when the book is available.

Poem for a long awaited child

Remember When

I remember when I first dreamt

Of the day you would arrive.

I wished and prayed our time together

Would finally be real

And not just a fantasy.

How could someone so small

Take over our entire lives?

I remember when I held you in my heart

Long before I would ever hold you in my arms,

With your wonder-filled eyes

Looking up at me.

I remember when I craved

The feel of your soft cheek

Resting against my chest.

As you lay sleeping,

The image stirs up dreams of the day

You would take your first steps,

Say your first words,

Smile for the first time,

Have your first date,

Grow up and leave

Our happy nest.

The years continued to fly by

And still I dreamed of you.

I remember when

The Goddess promised me

You would be here some day soon.

Now is the time.

Nothing will stop you now.

Ready or not, here you come,

Racing toward the finish line.

I remember when

A moment of fear passed

As suddenly as it came.

The pain is part of the journey

To bring you home to me;

Your body flushed with excitement

As you heard your name.

Ten tiny fingers.

Ten tiny toes.

Eyes wide open

So you can finally see.

I remember when our eyes met

And all doubts disappeared.

Smiles of recognition

Replace all of our tears.

“Hello, Sweet Child.”

We finally meet.

We’ve waited so long

For you to arrive.

It’s our time at last.

Our family is complete.

Six Sentence Sunday 12/4/2011

For this week’s submission, I chose another group of six from For the Love of Quinn.  Let me know what you think and make sure you check out the other fabulous authors participating this week.

Steve’s mouth was on her breasts again and Quinn arched her back, pushing them up to him, begging him with her body to keep going. He grabbed her dress and slid it the rest of the way off over her hips. He simply stared at her naked body under him for a beat or two, making her a little self-conscious, but she forgot all about that when he smiled at her once again. “Do you have any idea how beautiful you are right now, Quinn?”

     She shook her head. “Show me.” 

I’m Guest Blogging Today

Join me over on Amber Lea Easton’s blog Kisses, Caresses and Whispers in the Dark.  I share an interview with one of my favorite characters in For the Love of Quinn, Anthony Mancouso.  As Steve’s best friend and former right hand man, he knows all of the Vegas tycoon’s secrets including some about Quinn.  He will make appearances in all of the books in my Now and Forever series and even have a book of his own to tell his story.

Come on over to Amber’s blog and leave a comment.  I will be giving away a framed copy of another one of my poems The Thunder and the Rain.

Happy Cyber Monday!

Six Sentence Sunday 11/27/2011

Piyaphon/FreeDigitalPhotos.net

This six is from my new short story A Christmas Miracle for Jake.  The entire thing will be posted over the three days of the Stuff Your Stockings Christmas Blog Hop (December 16-18th).  In For the Love of Quinn, the reader gets a brief overview of an accident that Jacob had ten years before.  The short story covers the time when Jacob was in his coma.  Two secondary characters make their first appearance to help nudge Jacob, Quinn and the rest of the people in their lives down certain paths.  This group of six is a scene where Jacob and Quinn are together for the very first time on their dream island.

 

Her breasts were straining against the bodice of her sundress. Jacob flicked his tongue into the deep cleft between him eliciting a moan from Quinn.  He held her gaze as he pushed the thin straps of the dress off of her shoulders.  He used his teeth to tug at the strings keeping her heaving tits in place.  She giggled as her dress slowly opened up to him.  The sound tickled his stomach and he wanted to hear her giggle, laugh and so much more. 

 

Stay tuned for the full story!

Six Sentence Sunday November 6, 2011

For this week’s submission, I thought I would use the first six sentences of one of my poems. The Vixen, the Witch, and the Daemon is one of my fantasy poems that is pretty much the inspiration for another series I am working on under the pen name Lia Michaels.  The entire poem is also posted here on this webpage in My Poetry section.  Here are my Sunday Six:

Here is the tale of two Witches: one Dark and one of the Light,
Both vying for the heart of the one called The Daemon.
Who he chooses in the end will determine his ultimate fate:
Be lost forever to the Evil One in the Dark
Or be reborn again into a love that burns forever bright.

The flame-haired Witchy One with eyes of jade
Cast her spell to control the Mighty Daemon.
Using Dark Magic she transforms herself
Into someone familiar he could not resist
But different enough so he could not see the trick.
Her spell only lasts just so long
But no matter.  
Alcohol helps to hide the truth:
She is only using him and relishes in the torture
Of his heart and soul.
