Uncovered: Seducing a God ~ From conception to completion

In a recent blog I did for the group blog I am a part of I explored one of the questions that I usually asked.How did you come up with that story idea?

With this being a question that was recently asked of me again I decided to take you under the covers for a look inside my novels. You’ll go behind the scenes, inside the mind of the characters, places and so on. So each Wednesday I will feature whatever is my book being released for that month. That will be four or five according to the calendar Wednesday’s of various Uncovered topics based on my novels. If I have no release for that month I will give you a random novel from my backlist or my WIP {work in progress}.

In my post at the group blog I answered the question above. I changed it a little from the original post.

So let’s get uncovered….

Seducing a God, is my first book with Ellora's Cave and I'm taking you into how the story Seducing a God came to be as well as a little about the hero and herione.

I’ll be honest I hadn’t ever thought of doing a theme story before and never imagined to try for one at EC. After making a tough decision concerning with the path my writing career was taking I was surfing the various publishers for something spicy to read. While at EC I decided to check out the submissions. As I sat there reading the call for submissions and came across the Naughty Nuptials theme my mind started to race and heart started to pound. I went to bed and my mind still raced and I could not sleep. The story was unfolding so fast in my head and I know I had to write it down. So I got up and fleshed out the story for what ended up to be Seducing a God.

My hero Markus M’ar Riage, The God of Matrimony came to me first. He epitomizes everything that love, relationships and marriage is all about. He is strong, gentle, and all out sexy. I knew he needed a woman who although seemingly shy she would knock his socks off.

My heroine, Paula Stroker made her presence know from the beginning. Although she is slightly unsure around me she knows when she sees Markus she wants him. Also she has a unique profession. {You’ll have to read the book to find out}. Paula is a smart; take charge yet vulnerable and sensual woman.

These two characters compliment each other. Yet they face an obstacle Paula has an aversion to marriage and Markus being the God of Matrimony cannot help but believe in all it entails. They led you on a wild ride of sensual pleasure and discovery. Also there are a few other surprises thrown in.

So take a seductive journey with Paula and Markus and let yourself be seduced.

So I leave you with this question. What is the most seductive thing you have done or had done to you?

Monday Adventure

The weekend flew by and before I knew it Monday was here. Now Monday is gone to. The days seem to be going by so fast. Where did the beginning of 2007 go? It’s the end of June already and before we know it the end of the year will be here.

So what was my adventure today? Well for me another Monday equals the day job. There is never a dull moment and I mean even before I reach my job. See I ride the NY subway and to appreciate that you need to come to NY and ride the subway. It is always and adventure to get to work. This adventure was a man singing at the top of his lungs all sort of things. We’ll you see I wouldn’t have had any problem with that but he could not sing at all.

He got on midway to my stop and we were entertained excruciatingly with his lack of carrying a note. I think he was tone deaf. See people assume New Yorker’s are rude but can you believe none of us got up and told him to sit the hell down he couldn’t sing. Some people moved to other train cars it was like a great exodus of people. Other’s turned up there music on their I-Pod and other music players then ignored him.

Well me I refused to lose my seat. Heck if you get a seat on the subway at rush hour you’d be crazy to give it up. I didn’t have a music player (note to self get an I-POD real soon). So since I was not about to move and had no music to drown him out I debated my options. It came to me quickly. Looking the man dead in his eye I smiled sweetly and beckoned him over. When he came to me I told him that the woman who just left loved his singing. His eyes lit up and off he went to another car. {Grin} As the door closed behind him all I could think was blissful silence. The woman next to me who had heard what I said started to laugh uncontrollably. I grinned at her then went back to doing what I wanted to do on my train ride read my book for the TBR Book Challenge.

Whenever the train doors opened I could hear the man still singing. Did I feel guilty for sending him on his way? Hmmm…. I’ll have to think about that one some …

What was you Monday Adventure?

Bagel Fight

Before I get to the fight let me set the stage. I have been a really good woman. Eating better and seeing the benefits of it by losing weight. Heck even on my vacation I was good and watched what I ate. Oh yeah for those who have asked to see pics I will be posting pic’s next week after I decides which are not so incriminating to post. I said I was a good at eating but didn’t mention anything else {wink} I had a really good time. LOL. Anyway I digress back to the bagel fight.

I’m usually not a bagel person, I prefer muffins nope haven’t been eating those either. We’ll today I decided to have a bagel for a change. I haven’t had one in over a year. Once my mind was made up I wanted that bagel. So I went to the cafeteria in my job and got one then waited my turn to put my bagel to toast on these really antiquated machines we have. It’s like a mini toaster with a conveyer belt. So I stepped up to put in my bagel and then stepped back to make space for the other person. I bumped this other woman who was next murmured excuse me and moved so she could put in hers. As the toaster conveyer moved the things toasting. It was really slow. I had counted which in line mine should come out. As mine was ready I stepped up for it.

The woman who I had bumped earlier stepped up and said if you’re waiting for that bagel it is mine. That one is your’s. She pointed to a burnt bagel that had been sitting there when I out in my bagel. It was not the type of bagel I had put in. It was wheat and mine was a garlic bagel. Now I know you are wondering if I beat her over the bagel but see I am a pussycat and real even tempered {cough liar, cough liar). Okay, okay. I am usually even tempered and rarely lose my temper for reasons are too long to get into. You really have to push one of my temper buttons and if you do look out.

So this woman stepped in and took my bagel and as I watched it walk away I was tempted really tempted to go take it back. But I resisted and stood there a minute wondering if the universe was trying to keep me from having a bagel. Instead of thinking on it to hard I went and got another one. And you know what this one tasted better because I resisted fighting over a bagel which is what the woman seemed to want she was really rude about it. So it wasn’t exactly a fight but close.

I’m here munching on my bagel and thinking if it had been a muffin which I hadn’t had for a year also what would I have done….

We’ll it’s a good thing it wasn’t that all I’m going to say…
