Ideas of Dream ~ Revisited

I was asleep the other day and having a wonderful dream. You know what I mean. One of those really great realistic dreams when all of a sudden it changed. It changed to almost a movie. I saw the scene clear in my mind of a man going out on a balcony to get away for a few moments from a party. Then suddenly a sound and he realizes he was not alone. As I lay dreaming the movie unfolded in my mind. The meeting, the surprise, another meeting and all the in between moments to the end. I jerked awake and grabbed some paper and started to write what I had dreamed. I knew what it was. It was the start of a new book.
This has happened to me often. Sometimes when I dream I dream a whole book. Like a movie the scene plays out for me. It is so vivid and alive. I laugh when the characters laugh. Love when they love. Cry when they cry. I live each moment and feel everything. I love these sort of dreams and wake energized. After writing down what I dreamed I went back to sleep with a smile on my face excited about my new book idea.
Update: I’ve started the book that came from the dream I mentioned above. It is going well.

TV pleasures: So You Think You Can Dance - More

I’m really enjoying So You Think You Can Dance although I do disagree with some of those who went home. I love watching the contestants learn dances out of there comfort zone.

The choreography is beautiful and made me cry in some places. Mia and Tyce are some of my fav choreographers. I added another fav Napoleon and Tabitha. The dances have been beautiful to watch. The routines are great and the bar is definitely higher.

I have my fav for who I want to win. There has been some good dances and bad. The dancers personalities are interesting. The show is almost done and then we have to wait until next summer for another. I am already bummed about it. I can’t wait to see who will win this years So You Think You Can Dance.

I know your deepest desires

Imagine if you will there is a place you can go that knows what you want. What you need. What is your darkest desire. A desire that you won’t even admit to yourself. A place where being different is embraced and you don’t have to hide what you are. The needs you have. A place where you may find Mr. or Ms Right or in some cases Mr. or Ms. Right for Now.

Welcome to Club Immortality where all you desires will be fulfilled. Nothing is taboo and privacy is a guarantee. We have been in existence for many centuries. Hidden from those who are sensually unaware. Now with the permission of some of our patrons we are about to bring you into the most exclusive club. With our tales we hope you will become enlightened.

I'm Micah and this is my mate Syn. Sit back, be tantalized, titillated and most of all let go your inhibitions.

Syn and Micah


From the opening welcome from the owners of Club Immortality I bring you into a world where embracing being you is expected. When I created Club Immortality I wanted a haven of sorts for the supernatural community to find their own sensual fulfillment. A place where even a supernatural being could find whatever was their deepest desire.

It could range from finding love, being able to touch another person without the fear of being shunned or any number of desires. With each tale of the Club Immortality I explore a sensual journey of the characters within the confines of Club Immortality and into the real everyday world of that patron of the club’s life.

I mentioned before about being different and in Club Immortality there is no such thing. Everything and anything is accepted. It is a haven for everyone. The Club itself knows what you need. Knows your desires and if it feels you are ready it gives it to you.

Differences is what makes us who we are. It would be boring if we all were the same. Ingenuity is abound everywhere and people perform feats everyday. It could be as simple as giving up a seat to someone or a smile could brighten someone’s day. You don’t have to be special to do things. Just embrace your difference and be you. I will leave you with a part of what is at the end of each Club Immortality book.

A lot of our patrons have to learn the lesson that you are only limited by your own imagination. Nothing is taboo and honesty between each other is the greatest of titillations.

Until next we met. Embrace your nature and go after you heart’s desires.

Take a journey with Club Immortality…..

Dream of a Series

I’ve been asked about how I came up with my Rarities Incorporated series. Here is how it came to be.


I was talking the other day about dreams giving me some of my idea for my books. Dreams are indeed powerful. I've been known to dream of an outfit I want and then wake and make it. I love to sew. I also love to cook and have been know to dream of delicious dishes and then get up and make them. Yeah I dream of food. LOL.


Thinking of the dreams I’ve had It got me to thinking of one of my series that came from a dream. My Rarities Incorporated series came from a dream. Let me take you inside my dream that became my series.


It was a dark cold night when I dreamed. nah that's not how it happened. Hey what can I say I’m a writer and kinda quirky. {Grin}. Here how it really happened.


I was in a deep sleep minding my own business when all of a sudden I found myself sitting at this table with a bunch of women. Each proceeded to introduce themselves. I was confused but let them have there way. When they were done the first one to introduce herself Zarya Burke lifted her hand and I was floating in the air. I rolled my eyes and told her to get to the point. The women looked at each other and laughed with me. They lowered me back to my chair and told me of a race called Zuri Maji. They told me of what they were and all they could do. That they had many stories to be told and would tell me more as needed.


I jerked awake and I had goose bumps. I ran to my desk and took pen and paper and wrote all I had been told. The women I had met in my dream are the women who were the owner of Rarities Incorporated which appears in my series. Each woman was distinct and I wanted to get what I had gotten from them down clearly. Once I was done writing I had books of information waiting for the first story to come to me.


Fast forward months later and again I was asleep and a Rarities Incorporated story came to me. It unfolded in a cinematic movie I went through all the steps the heroine and hero did. It happened at Christmas and in where I was originally born. Besides the Zuri Maji it had a race of beings that were both unique and beautiful. Again I woke revived and went to write furiously. Veils Rising took form and when done I was pleased and a story in Rarities Incorporated was started.


When an opportunity came up for me to be a part of a special theme with EC my publisher I was racking my brain on what to write it on. Again another dream and I was met by the women who were in charge of Rarities Incorporated at the table we had sat at before. They let me know the first story I had written was out of order in which the stories needed to be told and I needed to fix it. Then they sent me on my way to the adventure which became Golden Seduction. As I entered the dream of Golden Seduction I met my heroine who is an ultimate geek more comfortable with computers than people. When a man comes out of a tarot card she is confused but not shocked. She works Rarities Incorporated, a place with many beings. When she hears his plight she doesn't think she can help him she is not athletic and more adapt at books. Yet the hero has fate in her and knows he needs her. She steps up and they have an adventure which shows the sense of hope and sensuality. The hope of the hero and heroine. The sensuality of their love story that touched many emotions. After I woke I wrote furiously.
Before I could even digest the story another dream came to me the next night. Shadow Dane featured a heroine who was tackle charge and knew what she wanted. A hero who has seen to much and trusts even less. His control is shredded by her and she wants him but not all the strings he offers. They find common ground. Have an adventure that led's them to secrets and so much more. It was intense, exhilarating and sexy. Upon waking I was torn between which to write first. The two stories happened during the same time frame so it really didn't matter. I wrote Golden Seduction then after it was done immediately wrote Shadow Dance. A While I wrote them I didn’t dream of anything but the stories. After they were complete I found myself once again at the table with the women who run Rarities Incorporated. They were pleased with what I had done and couldn't wait to meet the world. They sent me off and said be ready for my next adventure soon.
They were right. Since then I have had many adventures in the Rarities Incorporated world and each one revels more and more. Besides the Zuri Maji there are many races I get to explore. I enjoy each adventure and imagine it all started with a dream.


A dream of a series.

A Conversation between Muses

A few month's ago my muse got loose.

What happens when two muses get loose and talk?

Jazz strolls into the room and looks around. Walking over to the dark rust colored couch she sits, kicks off her shoes then shifts until she is sitting with her legs tucked under her. Taking out her book she starts writing. A noise catches her attention. She grins as the door opens and Mikayla rushes in.

Mikayla looks at her waiting for her then flops down on the couch next to her. Stretching out Mikayla crosses her ankles and glances at her black knee high boots. Jazz bumps shoulders with her.

“I can’t believe you actually made it. How did you get Taige to agree to let you come? ” Jazz said.

“Now, you should know there wasn’t any doubt.” Mikayla paused and made a rude noise then continued. “Like I need Taige’s permission.” Flashing her a devilish grin Mikayla leans back further in the seat.

Jazz raises one eyebrow but says nothing. Mikayla starts to laugh and Jazz joins her. They calm down and Jazz closes her book.

“What ya working on?” Mikayla asks.

Jazz shifts and shrugs. “A new story.”

Mikayla snorts and rolls her eyes. “That I know. What’s it about?”

Jazz gives her look. “You really don’t want to know about my story. Why don’t you answer my question.”

“I don’t remember any question.” Mikayla whistles and looks at her nails.

“Please you very well remember.” Jazz snorts.

Mikayla continues to whistle and look at her nails.

Jazz rolls her eyes “Fine.” She repeated her question slowly. “How did you get Taige to agree to let you come?”

Mikayla sits forward her arms resting on her knees. “You’re probably writing another story about you and that hot man you got in Conquering Jazz. Ummm hmmmm Reese.” She looks at Jazz. “Kinda weird to write a book about yourself.”

“Hello, muse calling muse black. You did the same thing in Carnal Awakening.” Jazz arched an eyebrow. “Besides we’re muses and can do whatever we like.”

They laugh companionably.

“At least you got to be the same sex.” Mikayla groused.

“Yeah but … damn … Taige… made you a hot man. Mikhail.” Jazz shivered dramatically.

Mikayla whacked her on the arm. “Mikhail-“

Jazz shivered again.

“Stop that. Mikhail –“ She paused then ignored Jazz’s shivers. “was hot but still I wanted to be a kick ass woman. Damn that Taige.” Mikayla leaned back on the chair pouting.

Jazz rolled her eyes and smacked her on the arm. “Please I know you’re not upset about being made into a hot, sexy man like Mikhail. You’re just annoyed that Taige went her own way.”

She stared at Mikayla. Mikayla ignored her refusing to respond. Jazz waited her out patiently. Finally Mikayla threw her hands up in the air.

“Fine, damn it. I’m not mad just as you put it annoyed that Taige had her way.” Mikayla ran her hand through her mid back length hair. “At least since she started the series she could finish it.”

“It’s not done.” Jazz was surprised from what McKenna had told her it was.

“It’s done but Taige isn’t ready to sub it yet.” Mikayla made quotation marks with her hand. “’Let us let it sit for a little bit.’ Taige keeps telling me. Christ, she’s stubborn.” Mikayla glances at Jazz. “How do you get McKenna to do what you want anyway?”

“I don’t we learn to compromise.” Jazz laughs.

“Compromise.” Mikayla says the word with distaste.

“See that’s your problem. Compromise can work.” Jazz pokes her in the shoulder.

Mikayla pokes her back. “For you and McKenna maybe. Me and Taige have our own way and it works for us.”

“Me and McKenna ways work also. I let her think I’m going her way and then do what I want.” Jazz grins.

Mikayla bounces up and chuckles. “See I knew you were devious. Give me details.”

“Well first you get the gu-“

A loud pounding on the door made them jump. Jazz looked at the door behind them then Mikayla who had a guilty look on her face. The pounding came again.

“Mikayla you … I know you’re in there. Lemme in.” Taige Crenshaw screamed.

“What did you do?” Jazz hissed.

“Nothing.” Mikayla shrugged.

Taige continued to pound and scream. Jazz looks at Mikayla disbelieving.

“I locked her in the closet.” Mikayla grunted.

Jazz blinked “You what?”

“Well she was being unreasonable.” Mikayla said calmly.

“God, you’re priceless. First you sit on Taige to take over when you want to speak on her blog or in groups. And now the closet.” Jazz shook her head.

Jazz started to laugh. Mikayla joined her. They stopped when they heard another voice joining coming from the other door on the other side of the room.

“Jazz, you are so busted.” McKenna Jeffries shouted.

“Damn, it’s McKenna. Hide me.” Jazz muttered.

Mikayla looked at her and the door in front of them as the pounding started again even louder. The pounding started on the door behind them too.

“You better tell me what you did.” Mikayla said eyes twinkling.

“McKenna was being stubborn about it so I locked her in her office.” Jazz put her hand over her eyes.

The silence on the couch next to her made Jazz lower her hand from her face. Mikayla was looking at her a stunned look on her face then she started to laugh. She fell off the couch laughing. Jazz glared at her. Mikayla calmed then looked at her then started laughing again. They both ignored the pounding on the doors.

“You talk about me locking people up and sitting on them and you locked McKenna in her office.” Mikayla looked somber and said. “Hello, muse calling muse black.” He lips twitched and she started laughing again. “You’re the one who is priceless.”

“Hump, at least it was better than a closet. I left her near the computer so she could work or have internet.” Jazz through of it and cursed.

“ Figured it out did ya.” Mikayla said sitting up and leaning back against the couch.

Jazz slid off the couch to sit next to her. “Shut up. I was trying to improvise, damn it. It was time to come here and she wouldn’t let me leave.”

“Yeah but you left her with contact to the outside world. She probably sent an IM for help.” Mikayla pointed out.

Jazz narrowed her eyes. “Taige reached here first. So Ms. Mikayla did you take Taige’s phone away from her?”

Mikayla shifted. “No, Taige is obsessed with that thing and there was no way I could get it.”

“She probably emailed McKenna and found out she was locked up too and they called for help.” Jazz snorted.

“Yeah.” Mikayla agreed.

They sat for a few moments and continued to ignore the pounding on the doors. Suddenly it stopped. Confused Jazz looked at Mikayla. Mikayla shrugged. A buzzing sound broke the silence from the door in front of them. The two of them stood in a rush.
“Crap, McKenna brought her power tools.” Jazz said.

Another buzzing sound came behind them. They looked back.

“Taige too.” Mikayla added.

“Those two likes power tools to much.” Jazz shook her head.

“Yeah, they need to stay out of Home Depot.” Mikayla gripped.

Jazz looked at her and laughed. She hugged Mikayla and Mikayla hugged her back.

“It was fun. We’ll have to do it again real soon.” Jazz said.

“Definitely.” Mikayla agreed.

They parted then looked at each other the grinned. They each went to the door. They looked back at each other and waved and winked.

“Until next time.” Mikayla smiled.

“We’ll make sure to lock them up better next time.” Jazz replied.

Mikayla laughed then counted off. “One, two, three.”

Mikayla opened the door and laughed at the startled look on McKenna’s face. The power screwdriver in McKenna’s hand lowered.

“Hey McKenna, Jazz says you’ll have to catch her.” She skirted around her and took off running.

Jazz opened the door and grinned at Taige. “Hey Taige, Mikayla says you can’t catch me.” Jazz skirted around Taige ignoring the drill Taige held laughing as she took off running.

McKenna and Taige looked at each other across the room and sighed. They walked towards each other in the center of the room.

“Mikayla is a bad influence.” McKenna gripped.

“Please, Jazz is just as bad. Just more subtle about it. Why didnn't you catch, Mikayla?” Taige countered.

McKenna glared. “Like I want her to come home with me and to be a pain in the butt you know she would. You know I hate when you’re right.”

“Mikayla probaly would. Yeah, I know.” Taige made a rude kissing noise.

“That’s why you and Mikayla get along so well. Both think you funny. Not. ” McKenna chuckled.

Taige rolled her eyes then looked out at the door where Mikayla had run off too.

“You know we can’t let them get away with this.” Taige gestured.

“Definitely not. It’s on. Revenge will be sweet.” McKenna got a wicked grin on her face.

They smacked palms together then each took off after their muses. Taige reached the doorway and saw Mikayla standing with her hands on her hips a distance away. Mikayla saw her smirked and ran off. Taige took off after her.

McKenna ran out the door and saw Jazz running fast. Jazz looked back at her blew her a kiss and picked up speed. McKenna growled and ran after her.

Jazz (McKenna Jeffries' Muse) & Mikayla (Taige Crenshaw's Muse)
