A guilty pleasure.
A wicked desire.
A lusty kink.
A hidden fetish.

Everyone has a few naughty little secrets. All of Stacie Purcell's secrets are in the red story binder she keeps in her messenger bag. An aspiring writer, Stacie dreams of the day her sexy stories will get published. But when she misplaces her binder, she is frantic, worried she'll never see it again. Desperate to get it back, she’s willing to do whatever it takes.

Tyler Murchison can't help noticing the cute little blond in his car repair shop's waiting room, her nose buried in her red binder. Closing up for the night, he discovers a not-so-innocent piece of paper and a mysterious messenger bag in the waiting room.

Intrigued by the drawings of sexual positions and the erotic fantasies Stacie weaves in her stories, he returns the binder, and offers Stacie a chance to experience all the incredible sexual delights she writes about.

But can a single night of wild, passionate sex lead to something more?

Tyler watched as Stacie came into the work area, and ran her fingers over the fin tail of a customer’s 1959 Chevy Impala. 

“I like the old automobiles. They had more style and class, don’t you think?”

“They were beauties.” He laced his fingers through hers and tried guiding her across the garage bay and back to his office, but she pushed him back against the old car, her hands snaking around his neck as she kissed him.

He loved how she took control of the kiss, her hands caressing the back of his neck. Playing with the ends of his hair and tugging on his head the slightest bit. Maybe she wasn’t as shy as she’d first seemed and was really a tigress in lamb’s clothing.

When she came up for air, she began unbuttoning his shirt, smoothing her hands over his chest, and untucked the ends of the material from his pants. “Stacie, what are you doing?”

“Research. That is what you suggested, right? Tonight I want to learn all about auto erotica.”

Ty forced back a surprised laugh, wondering if he should explain and take a chance on exposing how naive she really was, or go with it and let her take him for a test drive? He almost made a corny joke about her riding his stick shift, when he realized her very industrious fingers had unbuttoned the fly on his jeans.

He groaned, gripping Stacie’s hips and tried turning her around. She countered by wrapping her legs around his waist, pressing her heat against him, and making him half crazy. Ty swooped down for another kiss, his lips and tongue plundering her mouth. 

Remembering his dream from the night before, he swiveled with her in his arms, over to the next car in the garage, a blue mid-size, and took her hands in his own. Ty stretched her arms above her head.

“Don’t move.” Ty unbuttoned her blouse one-handed, glancing up at her to see her reaction. If she said no or stop, he’d have to honor her wishes. But he sure didn’t want to stop, no matter what he thought earlier about being a gentleman and taking it slow. Ty groaned, seeing the lacy cups of her bra and the soft, curved perfection almost spilling over the top. He straddled her, burying his face in the shadowy valley of her cleavage, pressing kisses along the satin contour.

Reading at The Dunes of Romany

I managed to snap these pics from my reading event in SL at the lovely lavender fields at the Dunes of Romany.

It was a small gathering around a campfire, me wearing my Stacie Purcell avatar and relating funny behind the scenes action from the story. And ya'll just know I chose some of the naughtiest parts in Naughty Little Secrets to read to my audience. *wink*

I'll be back at the Dunes of Romany on December 11, 2012 at 7:00PM SLT (10pm Eastern) and will be reading from my upcoming ebook release, Yule Tides!
Fun lovin' mermaids shake their tails and strut their stuff in land lubber nightclubs as they celebrating the season with comedic results...and seriously hawt passion.

It should be fun!
I sure hope to see you there. *waves a fin*

Naughty Little Words

Sometimes inspiration for a story comes from something you see or hear…all it takes are a few naughty little words… ;-)

In the case of Naughty Little Secrets, the story developed when a friend of mine told me about how she is tired of reading romances where the guys are all billionaires or millionaires. She said those stories are nothing more than imitation Cinderellas.

We agreed there need to be more blue collar heroes. So she told me about this guy she saw a few years ago, when her car broke down and she had to call a tow truck. The guy took her to this garage he recommended since she was clueless where to take her car.

Anyway, turns out that the owner of the repair shop and the tow truck guy were related, I think she said they were cousins. The tow truck guy wasn’t bad looking, but he wasn’t great looking either, but more importantly, my friend isn’t into married men and this guy wore a band.

But the guy who owned the repair shop was hot she told me, and not wearing a ring…and she spent the next three hours fantasizing about this guy and trying to find out—subtly—if he was married or single. lol. I can just picture her there trying to ask all these guys, elbows deep in car parts and grease, if the dude she wanted was available. :P lol.

And she said, “I only wanted to know if he was fuckable.” Of course, I cracked up at this point. Oh yeah, I picture it too well.

But her encounter planted a seed in my head, and I started outlining a story with a handsome car repair guy as hero.

What do you think? Do you prefer more authentic and real down to earth guys with blue collar occupations, or maybe you like to mix it up and read both white and blue collar heroes?

Until Next time~

Edits, Pork Rinds, AGT, Zombies, and Tarot

These days, it seems all I do are edits. But it makes sense in a way.

I'm in edits on two different projects: Naughty Little Secrets and Mr. Hawtness. Both are contemporaries and I think that's why the edits are kicking my ass. Before now, my only contemporary story was Compulsion, and I recall that story kicked my ass as well. My brain flows best when I'm knee deep in the woo-woo, I guess. lol. I'm hard-wired for paranormal.

Which is fine, except some ideas come to me full-blown in virtual color without a drop of the para in them. Knowing in advance my struggle with contemporaries, I usually shove the ideas in a binder and let them simmer until I can no longer ignore them. lol.

As a treat between rounds of edits, I'm writing a few scenes here and there on the sequel to my novella Shimmer, entitled Heart of Dixie. The other night while I'm flipping channels, I see an ad for a new show this fall, called Hart of Dixie, and I can only hope no shapeshifting aliens are involved. lol.

I'm on day three of my Countdown to Conference diet and having snack attacks. Usually the bad thing about snacking on a diet is I can't snack or I blow the diet and have to start from scratch again. But thanks to my critique partner and friend, author Cora Zane, on this diet, I can snack and be a good girl even while feeling like I'm cheating. My whole life I lived with the assumption that pork rinds were terribly bad for you and you were going off your diet in a big way if you ate them. So imagine my surprise when I learned that pork rinds are on the Atkin's diet and are a big fat O carbs! Wooyah!

Another happy discovery is that my favorite yummy spice mix tastes great sprinkled on them and I went through almost half a bag of pork rinds last night free of guilt. Now that is a great feeling! If you like chipotle, this stuff is amazing: http://chipotledryrub.weikelfoods.com/

My favorite TV variety show was on last night—America's Got Talent. I was really excited to see my top four all made it into the next round. If I have to pick it from this point on, I'd have to say it's going to come down to PopLyfe and Silhouettes. When I listen to PopLyfe, it's like they are already recording artists and are on the show promoting their next album, not competing for a spot in the finals—which they won. And Silhouettes never fail to fill me with this incredible surge of emotions. How often can you say that about a dance troupe? But that's just it. They're more than dance, they are also storytellers. It's going to be tough for me to choose which one to vote for as I love both acts. But it could come down to Team iLuminate and Silhouettes and that would be a difficult vote as well, because I also love the energy they bring to the stage.

The only one of my favorites that I don't see making it to the finals is Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., and that's only because I think more of the audience of voters are young people who will cast their votes for PopLyfe over Landau. Personally, I think Landau is already worthy of a Vegas show and could start his own new version of The Rat Pack. I know I'd pay to see him in Vegas.

Actually, each of the final four acts in this season's AGT are Vegas ready acts I'd pay to see. Who will win the ultimate prize? I don't know, but like millions, I'll be tuning in to see who is chosen the winner. Good luck to all four remaining contestants!

Speaking of favorite television shows, I'm excited about the new season of The Walking Dead. The promo trailer shown at Comic-Con looked amazing! I can't wait to see what happens next! Hoping Sophia makes it okay. Whew. That show is tense! The season premiere is October 16th on AMC channel.

Last but not least, I wanted to give everyone a *heads-up* alert that Cora and I will be in Second Life this Saturday, Sept. 10th for two separate sessions of free to the public tarot readings! I sure hope you can join us!

Free readings by the ladies of the Midnight Moon Cafe

Heroine from NLS

Stacie Purcell, the heroine from my upcoming ebook Naughty Little Secrets isn't on the cover, so I wanted to post my own rendition of her courtesy of SL's wonderful hair, skin, shape, eyes, and clothing vendors.

The hairstyle I found is exactly how I pictured it, but the color is too yellowish bright for my character. I wish it had come in a color two shades lighter and less brassy. Still though, not bad. She's a green-eyed blond, in her mid-20's, taking creative writing classes at the local community college and working as a hair stylist at her sister's beauty salon in the fictional town of Rusdale, Tennessee. Yes, she's a southern girl and she's about to fall hard for the town's newest bad boy... *rubs hands together in wicked delight* oh yes, I do so love those bad boys. ;-)

NSL isn't paranormal, it's a straight up contemporary, much like my earlier ebook, Compulsion.

Until next time...

Upcoming Attractions...

Wanted to share some cover love and the blurb for my next ebook, entitled Naughty Little Secrets. Thanks to friends and authors Grace Draven and Alicia Richardson, I have a neat cover for my wicked little story.

Here's the blurb:

Aspiring author Stacie Purcell writes her secret fantasies in a red ‘story binder’ she carries around in her oversized slouch bag. When she misplaces the binder, and risks exposing all her naughty little secrets, she’s desperate to get the binder back.

Tyler Murchison finds the binder in his garage waiting room, and remembers the shy blonde who had been writing in it earlier that day. When he picks it up, a color print-out falls to the floor…a diagram of various sexual positions! Intrigued by Stacie’s erotic fantasies, he returns the binder, and in doing so, gives Stacie a chance to experience all the incredible sexual delights she writes about. But can a night of steamy sex lead to something more?
