Teasers ~ Stealing ….

I was drinking tea and my tea bag had another saying that I found funny and so true. It said:

A picture of a jail should be painted on every safe.

Uncovered: Onyx Moon Rising ~ ~Between the Covers

In this month’s uncovered we explored my release Onyx Moon Rising.So let’s get uncovered….

Onyx Moon Rising, was released on August 6, 2007 at Liquid Silver Books. In this uncovered we have an excerpt giving you a peek inside of the novel.

Un-Edited Excerpt:

A hand reached over and covered her’s. Looking up she met Sanjay’s grey gaze. Looking in his eyes she turned her hand and held his. Linking her fingers with his she rose pushed him back gently with the other hand. Following him she straddled him then reached and linked her fingers with his other hand. He watched her silent. Leaning into him she kissed him. Gently and thoroughly. He murmured then groaned trying to pull away. She held him firmly getting her fill. Raising her lips slowly off of his she watched his eye spark amber lazily.

"Be sure of what you’re doing Tashana.” Sanjay warned.

“I’m sure. Fuck me Sanjay.”

His look was intense. “This goes beyond fucking Tashana. I’m going to make you burn so deep that when I’m not with you it will be like a physical pain. A pain to have me inside of you. Do you want this, Tashana?"

Tashana’s mouth was dry. "Yes.”

Sanjay pulled his hands free pushed his fingers in her hair, dragged her to him and sealed his lips to hers. Eyes locked with his she watched as his eyes sparked wildly. The hunger she felt for him was like nothing she had ever felt. Running her hands down his firm muscular side she used her power to get rid of his clothing and her own. When her hand touched his heated skin she moaned. He sucked it in and gave her his own groan of desire in return.

Musings: Revisiting Changes……

Last week I mentioned I would be making some changes to the blog. Changing around the days I post certain things and so forth. Adding some new things.

Since I was in a changing and planning mood I sat down to make a few changes to my writing calendar. Yeah, yeah I have one. It keeps me on track with what I will write next. What I have planned for my next book and so forth. If a story idea comes up or something unexpected I can shift to accommodate it.

So I was changing my calendar and realized a few things. Well besides I will be busy writing for a good long while. Which is great.

I realized how much my writing has changed. I won’t get all philosophical on you but just say I am pleased with what I am doing now. Pleased with what I have planned.

Ahh the feel of change is good.

Monday’s Adventure ~ I’m back in the fifth grade………

Each year my nephew gets a summer assignment. He has to get a book read it and do a book report on it. So when he came for the summer we did our usual and went to bookstore so he could pick his book. He read it and did the assignment. I helped of course so I have a vested interest in what happens to it.

So today was the first day of school so I called my sis and asked her how it went. He is in the fifth grade now. My time has flown. She said it was good when I asked about did he turn in the assignment. She said my nephew said the teacher hadn’t asked for it. I was like what. Why didn’t he give it to his teacher instead of waiting for her to ask?

This is my grade too. I worked with him and hell I read the book to make sure the report was true. My sister and I talked about how with the assignments my nephew gets we are both back in school.

Last year my nephew had an assignment to do a Nation notebook and let me tell you I know so much about Spain. It was educational but the assignment called for over 15 pages of information, picture and the whole works. I surfed the internet for info, while my sister and nephew hit the library. I sent a package to my sister and nephew with over 200 pages of information about Spain.

For example did you Spain national anthem Marcha Real is one of the few national anthems in the world to have no official lyrics. It is only music. When I found this out after searching and searching not believing it. When I told my sister we had a debate about my being wrong. I sent the info to her and when she saw I was right she of course apologized. LOL. It was interesting to find out about Spain.

Whenever my nephew gets these complex assignments me and my sister tag team to help him get them done. He does the majority of work but we help. So we go back to school to. So this year we are back in the fifth grade. I’m excited to see what interesting assignment my nephew will get this year. Yeah I know that weird but I love a challenge.

This was my adventure for today.

TBR Book ~ August 26, 2007

Each book in the series is getting better.I will tell you about another of my TBR Book next Sunday. I have told you my TBR Book so come on and let me know about yours.

Musings: Changes……

These last few weeks I was thinking of making some changes to my blog. Changing around the days I post certain things and so forth. Adding some new things. Look out for a few things coming to the blog real soon. Some of these changes will tie in with blog, Crenshaw Cafe- my chat group , and my website.

As I was thinking of changes to my blog I started thinking of other changes I have made in my life recently. I won’t go into detail but all the changes I have made in these last few month’s has enriched my life, made me stronger and set me on a path for my future goals. The first half of this year I had major upheavals that I had to face and overcome. Which, I did but with some bruises and disillusionment. I gained some wonderful people in my life and lost a few who I came to realize were not as they seemed. This time has been eye opening and I wonder what will come next.

Although there are very few month’s left in this year I know there will be more things coming my way. And no matter if they are good, bad or indifferent I will face them down as I have done everything else. Whenever I have a birthday I like to think and that is why I usually take time away for myself. So in my introspection I came to these conclusions.

Who I am will not change.

What I believe will not falter.

Where I am going will not be stopped.

How I get there is still to be reveled.

When I get there I will know.

Even when I am there I will strive for the next and next.

This is what living and life is all about. Striving and being more.

Monday’s Adventure ~ Kindness begets kindness….

I took a break from online last week and did some me time. In my last Monday’s Adventure I briefly mentioned how P., my good friend and sister pulled one over on me by getting me a brand new Dell color laser jet printer. The old laser jet I had which was only black ink gave out on me. My plan was to buy a new one. So I was searching for one to get but was hesitant on actually getting my dream one which was a color laser jet.

Well my friend and sister went and got it for me. It was a hard thing for me to accept because you see I am usually the giver and to take something even as a gift is hard for me. When I asked my sister when the printer came why she had done something like this without my knowledge. Her answer was P. came to her with it and because they knew I would refuse they said nothing before hand. My sister also said I should accept it gracefully and shut up. Well that shut my mouth. LOL. But of course I couldn’t let it rest I asked my friend P. today why she had done such a thing.

Well I am sure you guessed it. She said it was because I would refuse it and I deserved to have it. She also said I would do the same for her. Now I couldn’t leave it alone. So I asked why and she simply said. Kindness begets kindness.

After she said that I had to sit back and I’ll admit it I cried like a baby. It was a humbling thing for me a giver to realize it is also good to let others give to you instead of just being the giver. Now I am not saying I don’t let others help me but it is hard for me to ask. This I didn’t ask for and it was so much more special. So this Monday’s Adventure was one that I hope you all can pass on now and in the future. Do something from the heart. It leaves a warm feeling that is priceless.

This was my adventure for today.

TBR Book ~ August 19, 2007

For my TBR book for this week's TBR Book Challenge I read The Company You Keep and Tangled Roots by Angela Henry.

I will tell you about another of my TBR Book next Sunday. I have told you my TBR Book so come on and let me know about yours.

Today is my birthday so I took this last weekend and this week to relax. So there was no blogs, or group posts and little internet (hey I can't do without no internet). I plan to take the rest of this week and relax. I'll be around but very little. I will be partying for my birthday. Yep my birthday. Yipppeee...

And I have to say thanks to thank all my friends for the wonderful cards and good wishes. Also I have to thank P., my good friend and sister who pulled one over on me. They got me a brand new shinny dell color laser jet printer. My printer gave out on me and I was planning to get a new one but they beat me to it. Isn't it pretty. So I am having a great b-day.

Today is my birthday so I took this last weekend and this week to relax. So there was no blogs, or group posts and little internet (hey I can't do without no internet). I plan to take the rest of this week and relax. I'll be around but very little. I will be partying for my birthday. Yep my birthday. Yipppeee...

And I have to say thanks to thank all my friends for the wonderful cards and good wishes. Also I have to thank P., my good friend and sister who pulled one over on me. They got me a brand new shinny dell color laser jet printer. My printer gave out on me and I was planning to get a new one but they beat me to it. Isn't it pretty. So I am having a great b-day.

I'm still floating from my release of my book Onyx Moon Rising , which was released by Liquid Silver Books. Make sure go and get your copy. Be sure and check it out and send me an email to let me know what you think. You can email me at taige@taigecrenshaw.com make sure to put Onyx Moon Rising in the subject line.

I am off to have a slice of cheesecake for my b-day and a nice cold wine cooler. This was my adventure for today.

What was your Monday Adventure?

Teasers ~ Postal Rates….

I was drinking tea and my tea bag had another saying that I found funny and so true. It said:

If the world is shrinking, why do postal rates keep rising?

Musings: The Emotion of Writing

I had an interesting discussion the other day. Okay I’ll admit it was more of a debate. It was concerning a book a mutual friend and I had both read. She didn’t like and I loved it.

That led to a long debate of us both listing out points and countering why we liked or disliked the book. We got loud and emotionally about our point of view.It was interesting. We had others around us who had read the book chiming in and those who hadn’t asking more about it. It even led to other discussion of various author’s work we liked, did not like, the reasons why or why not. It was a very reveling conversation.

This is the emotion of writing. No matter if your book is not liked or liked. It has created an emotion. As an author this is what I want to do. Whether it is good or bad. I want you to feel it. The one thing I do not want is apathy. That is like a punch to any writer. Please NO APATHY. Give me any emotion and I will feel that I have done my job.

Now I am not saying if I get a bad review or email that a reader didn’t like my work I won’t get a little upset at first. But when it comes down to it I will be content and happy. I created a reaction.

An Emotion.

I touched the reader in someway. From that little debate I had the other day. I realized that people will remember you if they have enough emotion whether good or bad. I got a few new authors to try just from that conversation alone. Hey just because someone didn’t like a book doesn’t mean what they saw as flaws I or another reader wouldn’t see as treasures.

Come on and share the books you have read and created strong emotion. Don’t be shy it can be good or bad.

TBR Book ~ August 5, 2007

For my TBR book for this week's TBR Book Challenge I read The Wicked and The Forsaken by L.A. Banks. I have a confession I am a huge L.A. Banks fan and at first her books were on my Read as Bought List but I had to move them. I hide them until there are at least two I have not read. Why because I got frustrated waiting for the next one to come out. Yeah, yeah there isn't that much time between books but I want the next book as soon as I finish the one I am reading. This time was no diffrent I wanted the next book after The Cursed. Sigh. The Darkness doesn't come out until next year. {Grumble} I want it now. {Soft swear} Crap I have to wait for it.If you haven’t read the Vampire Huntress Legend stories you need to go get them all and read them. They are hot, sexy, and action filled. Be warned they are addictive. Each book in the series is getting better.

I will tell you about another of my TBR Book next Sunday.I have told you my TBR Book so come on and let me know about yours.

What was your TBR Book and what are your thoughts on it?

Movie oh my…

I went to the movies today and saw so many great movies. I saw the Bratz which was cute and funny. Also say Underdog it was also funny and good. Yeah I know these two are kind of kiddie movies but I have an excuse, I went with my nephew and we had a blast.

Liar, Liar pants on fire.

Okay, okay I admit it I loved both movies, I love disney movies too, and animated movies. {Grin} At least this time I had my nephew with me so I didn't get such strange looks. LOL.
I saw like 10 minutes of Bourne Ultimatium. {rolling eyes} It's a long story. All I can say is babysitting and movies don't mix.

I plan to go back and see Bourne Ultimatium. Also can't wait for Rush Hour 3 next weekend.

What movies have you seen lately?
