More on Keeping it Straight

Talking about the series bibles I have for each of my series got me to thinking. I went and read through some of the series that I have on my comp but aren’t contracted anywhere yet. Well I haven’t actually sent them in to be considered by publishers yet. {grin} As I checked through them I actually started putting them in a sort of order to sub them in. Some I will be subbing in a few months and in the next year or so. Hey I have a few series now that I have going so waiting on new ones will give me time. Others will be a few years down the road. I have a lot of books completed as well as in progress on my comp. And still have lots of ideas that come to me. I write down the pertain details for later use. To keep it straight (lol, yeah you know that way coming) I have this file called Future book Bits. Basically a file of ideas for future books. It could be just a line or heck even a few chapter according to how much the idea took shape.

It is all part of me keeping it straight.

Moments to make you smile

Yesterday I was having a bad day. Had a nasty headache and just feeling all around yucky. You know what I mean one of those days you can’t wait to be over. When I ran into a co-worker of mine. She had bought a copy of my print title Rarities Incorporated. I knew she had gotten it but hadn’t seen her. Well she told me she loved it and couldn’t wait for more of my books.

It made me smile and made a crappy day much better.

Keeping it Straight

I have a few series that I currently write and people are always asking me how I keep characters, world and so on straight. See I love spreadsheets and organization. So after I start a new series I create what I call a series bible. As time has progressed the information I put in the bible has changed. I have excel spreadsheets that are tailored to fit my series. Each series has a spreadsheet that consists of all the information for that series. It helps to keep me organized and on track. I update the series bible as I write each book. That’s how I keep it all straight.

Blogging and New Satin Notes Story~ Break Every Rule

I’m blogging today at two places. Well actually one blog is with Mikayla, my muse and McKenna's muse. Mikayla got loose again and decided to blog. Hmph.

Blogging at the SIA blog for my weekly blog day.

And Mikayla is blogging at The Romance Studio Blog http://theromancestudio.blogspot.com/

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

Break Every Rule by Aliyah Burke, McKenna Jeffries, and Taige Crenshaw
Genre: Contemporary/Romantic Suspense
Length: Novel
Price: Free
Publication Date: May 16, 2008 - June 27, 2008
Cover art by MMJ Designs

When life gives you a second chance, how do you decide what to do?

Dominique Rule knows what the pain of loss can do to your soul. Not willing to take the chance again, she lives by the code of no dating. And if you are stupid enough to get involved, keep interaction to a minimum, and never get personal. She has been able to resist temptation, at least until she meets a man who makes her want to believe in the one thing she cannot afford to--a second chance at happiness.

Taggart Blade is used to being in the background of his more outgoing family. Better known for being quiet and affable, he is shaken by his primal reaction to Dominique, a woman who wants nothing to do with him, and who he can't stop fantasizing about. After one too many encounters with the enticing Ms. Rule, he knows it's time to take drastic measures to break through her barriers. A Blade does not back down from any challenge, or resist any temptation, especially when the stakes are high and he wants the ultimate prize--her heart.

With a Blade who breaks all the rules, there will be passion, intrigue, and a titillating ride. Breaking a Rule has never been so fun, or decadent...

Open the doors and step inside Club Immortality...

EXCERPT:
Fire raced down his spine, making him shiver.

Kariati looked over his shoulder.

His breath left him in a rush. He turned away from the door, captivated by the dancing woman. She was lush full figured temptation. Hungrily he took in her bountiful breasts, voluptuous curves and shapely legs. She turned away from him on her high-heeled, caramel-coloured boots. Kariati raised his hand to his mouth and bit his knuckle to stifle a whimper. His mouth watered with the need to lick across her plump rounded ass.

He took a step towards her. The woman turned to face him. She stopped and stared. Closing the distance between them Kariati reached for her with his senses. Shocked, he watched the woman, a human woman, who had captured all his senses. Reaching her, he memorised her delectable honey-toned face, her satiny forehead, rich chocolate brown eyes with sexy lashes, sculptured cheeks, luscious lips, and round chin. The combination was an enticement he was powerless to resist. Leaning into the woman, he inhaled. Her sweet, musky arousal filled his senses. Silent, he pulled her to him. The woman came to him. Swivelling his hips, he felt her body against his. A harsh breath escaped the sensual vixen who had captured him in her thrall. Countering his movement, he held her hips. The woman followed his motions moving against his rapidly hardening erection.

He raised a hand and lifted her long braided dark reddish brown hair from her shoulder. Still moving in time with the music, Kariati lifted the edge of her braid to his cheek and stroked it along his face. He purred at the silkiness against his skin. The woman moaned softly. He put one hand behind her back, pulling her closer to him and smiled.

Halle took a breath. His heady masculine scent cloyed around her, invading her senses. When she had seen the man by the door watching her, she’d been ensnared by his powerful presence. Even from across the room, she had felt his eyes on her almost like a physical touch. He strode towards her with a confident arrogance she had found intoxicating. Each step was like a sexual movement that made her pussy pulse with wetness, preparing for his taking. The closer he came the more she wanted to be in his arms. It wasn’t until he was closer that she saw his face. She’d locked her knees to keep from falling. His sun-kissed skin made her tongue ache to lick every part she could. His thick curly lashes framed his intense blue-green gaze. The hunger in his eyes had almost brought her to her knees. Harsh planes of desire had carved his perfectly put together features—broad forehead, chiselled cheeks, lush lips and slightly pointed chin—into a savage look.

When he had partially closed his eyes and inhaled, she had gone weak. His forceful grip had kept her standing. Her pussy creamed even more at the brush of his hands on her ass. Halle had been powerless to do anything but move in time with the wanton sway of his hips. The length of his cock had rubbed against her slacks, burning a trail of heat. Cuddling into his hard masculine body she noted how they fit together. At her height of six feet it was hard to find a man who was so much taller than her. It created a feeling of fragile feminine awareness she had never experienced before. He had taken her braid and stroked it against his face. She moaned at the purr that rumbled out of his massive chest. His hot hand cupped her back, holding her close.

Reaching up, she grabbed his inky black hair. Whatever held it gave way and his hair covered her fingers. Staring into his eyes she stood on tiptoe and sealed her lips to his. The man’s decadent chuckle filled her mouth.

So soft. His lips are so soft. Murmuring she leaned into him.
