Thanks, doctor and Sven

Thanks to all of you who emailed me offline with your congrats and good wishes about my first print title Rarities Incorporated. I replied to everyone so if you didn’t get a reply from me that means I didn’t get it so please resend.

My post last week were sporadic. I’m a little under the weather. I spent the weekend in bed. I’ve been to the doctor twice last week. On Friday they gave me another medication to try and one of the side effects is an awful headache. Oy. All weekend I had a headache and from what the doctor said I’ll have one until the medication is done. Sigh.

I have a few places that I have features/guest blogs at last week and this week. Thankfully I already had the posts ready before this medicine. I’ll let you know here where I’m guest blogging at.

I have an Author Spotlight for my book Rarities Incorporated posted at Selena Illyria Blog. Check it out here.

Also last week despite being sick I was able to do a little writing towards my Sven Goal. Here are my numbers:
March 2, 2008 – 4,682
March 5, 2008 – 6,625
March 9, 2008 - 3,850
Oh yeah I got my Sony Reader and love it. Will make a more detailed post about it next week, once I am hopefully feeling better.

New Satin Notes Story - Magnetism

A new Satin Notes story starts. Here are the details.

Magnetism by Aliyah Burke, McKenna Jeffries, and Taige Crenshaw
Genre: Paranormal
Length: Novel
Price: Free
Publication Date: March 7, 2008 - April 25, 2008
Cover art by MMJ Designs

When death comes calling and you live, you can withstand anything life throws in your path. Even the most tempting man imaginable, who will change the very foundation of all you believe.

Despite being told she imagined it, Kira Winters knows what she saw that dark night her life changed. Beings that should be myths. The same creatures that took her newly found brother and almost her life. One thing kept her alive – the need for vengeance. When a man comes to her confirming all she saw, and surprising her with a revelation that rocks her world, Kira does not know what to believe. It doesn't matter that her body cries out to be taken by this man, who seems to be the very thing that she despises most. There is no way she can give in to the call of her most basic need and forget what she needs to do--find those who tried to kill her and make them pay.

Heller Sidorov knows that getting emotionally involved with Kira Winters is the worst thing he could possibly do. Being able to resist her is another thing entirely. In his line of work, involvement can get you killed, or be used as a weapon to control you. Kira may claim to hate him, but her scent tells a different story. Her eyes give away the need she feels despite all her denials. They should not mix business with pleasure. Usually, he is able to resist the temptation. But one taste of Kira led to too many to count, and then a whole heap of trouble. If he could avoid her, he might be able to keep from ripping her clothes off and taking her every way possible. But he does not have that option. They both agree on terms to fulfill their animal attraction--terms that clearly state, while they search for those who tried to kill her, they will fulfill all their fantasies, erotic and otherwise. Once they complete what they must do, they will walk away from each other.

Yet, even as he agrees, Heller knows that, for his kind, there is no walking away. There’s no escape from the Magnetism that binds them.

Golden Seduction Blurb:

Laila Brooks is a geek at heart. She was more comfortable with her computer and books. Adventure to her is finding a new computer code that no one else has. An unexpected gift of a captivating deck of Tarot Cards draws her into an adventure for the search to save a man, find herself and come out of her shell. Adventure has never been so sizzling and tempting.

Aleneic knows that his time is limited and he has to complete his quest or be sent back into a lonesome existence. The fates have put him in path a woman that makes him do the one thing he is afraid to do – hope things will be different.

An Excerpt From: GOLDEN SEDUCTION

Aleneic slid across the couch to Laila and took her hand. She stiffened but he brought her closer to him. When she tried to pull away he held her firmly until she stilled. Looking into her expressive topaz gaze, Aleneic wondered why the fates had brought him to a woman who would make him want what he might not be able to have. His attention was again caught by her lush mouth that made him want to keep kissing her senseless. Her lush plump bottom lip was begging for his teeth to nip it and the top heart-shaped lip made his tongue ache to give it a thorough tongue-lashing.

He knew it had been wrong to taste her again. The first time had made him hot but the second then third time had made him throb and ache. An ache that was driving him crazy. He knew it was only a matter of time before she would come to him and then he would take her every way he could.

Aleneic’s mind flashed to how it would be as his fingers delved into her reddish-brown hair while he kissed along her smooth mocha-colored sculpted cheeks to her luscious mouth, then down to her chin with the delightful little dent. He would spend some time nibbling on it before going down under her chin to her neck. Slowly, he would lick down between her ripe full breasts then nibble on each one before exploring all of the rest of her, including that lovely butt and lust-inspiring hips. He frowned, making a note to take his time in exploring her. He saw she was watching him silently, waiting for him to speak.

He looked into her expressive topaz gaze, pleased at the hint of lust there. A low growl came from his lips. He fought to get control over his own needs. Desire warred with duty as he tried to focus on why he was here.
