Wicked Wednesday – Wicked Dangerous Women!

Today is a slightly different Wicked Wednesday since I’m going to be offering you up some news and excerpts from my wonderful friends at www.dangerwomenwriting.com!

So first up in no particular order is:

Lisa Renee Jones‘ contribution – AMBER FIRE – to the SEXY BEAST 9 anthology hit shelves in September! Here’s a sexy little teaser from that novella:

Determined to defend her late fatherâ€™s work, Amber Green heads into the heat of the Nevada canyons to prove the existence of the Yaguara, a shape-shifting race of jaguars. There she meets the one man more hell-bent on protecting the jaguars than she is: Jareth, a force of raw male nature to be reckoned withâ€”an animal worth pursuingâ€¦

Jennifer Haymore‘s SEASON OF SEDUCTION is on the shelves now! Congrats on 4.5 stars from RT BookClub. If you can’t see the excerpt below, you can click here to read more.

Want to be a little naughty for the holiday season? Then check out Cynthia Eden’s contribution – All I want for Christmas – in THE NAUGHTY LIST. Here’s a little teaser for you!

Good girl toy inventor Christie takes a walk on the naughty side when she sparks a no-strings fling with Santaâ€”actually, sexy cop Jonas in a Santa suit. She loves her new â€œbad girlâ€ persona, except as the holidays approach, she starts falling, and hard, for this knownâ€™ â€œlove â€™em and leave â€™emâ€ ladies manâ€¦

Last, but never least, a big WOO HOO to Donna Grant who received an RT BookClub Top Pick! and 4.5 stars for her November release, WICKED HIGHLANDER! Donna did a wicked trailer for it that you can watch here. If you can’t see the video below, you can click here to see it.

As for what’s up with me, you might wonder? Well, the countdown is on to STRONGER THAN SIN and I’m happy to say that RT BookClub gave it 4 stars and had this to say about it:

This second book in the SINS series follows SINS OF THE FLESH with an equally compelling and scintillating tale of mad scientists, devoted doctors and wounded warriors. There isn’t a thing missing in this imaginative and fast-paced love story.

Here’s a big THANK YOU 🙂 to RT for taking the time to review STRONGER THAN SIN!

I hope you loved learning a little bit more today about my fellow Dangerous Women!

Donna Grant Dishes on Fears

DangerousHighlander_200x300 First, thank you, Caridad, for inviting me to guest blog!

We all have something we fear whether itâ€™s a monster we saw in a movie or something we face every day likeâ€¦oh, I donâ€™t knowâ€¦spiders. (yes, Iâ€™m deathly afraid of the little buggers).

Having those fears is partly what makes us humans. When creating characters, authors want readers to connect to those characters, to laugh with them, to cry with them, to love with them, and even to fear with them.

So, I like to give my characters fears. Little Man (my 7 year old son) thinks Iâ€™m being mean by doing this, but I like to think of it as doing what comes naturally. ïŠ After all, if Iâ€™ve got to deal with my fears daily, so do my characters.

In DANGEROUS HIGHLANDER the heroine, Cara, has a fear of the dark that borders on the extreme. When youâ€™re poor in Medieval Scotland, you donâ€™t waste candles when sleeping. But Cara does.

It stems from when she witnessed her parents murdered by monsters. Of course, as she grew older, she thought what she had seen was changed by her young mind. (Our minds do have a way of shifting things without us even realizing it sometimes.)

That is until she meets up with those monsters again.

How each of us face our fears is what, ultimately, shapes us into the person we are. Some run from their fears. Others face them head on. Which type are you?

Iâ€™ll be giving away a signed copy of either MUTUAL DESIRE or THE PLEASURE OF HIS BED to a commenter that tells me what their fear is.

Hugs,
D

Elf Yourself

Before we get into full Fun Friday mode, just some quick things –

Tomorrow I’ll be visiting at JoJo’s Book Corner and we’ll be having a little giveaway!

On Sunday, my friend and fellow author Donna Grant will be here guest blogging and she’ll have a little surprise giveaway as well, so be sure to visit.

But now . . .

With Christmas only ONE WEEK AWAY, it’s time to really get into the Christmas spirit if you’re not there already!

I’m almost there, but I think this little Elf Dance is sure to push me over the edge into full holiday mode. You can Elf Yourself also at ElfYourself.com! Now don’t worry if disco isn’t your thing. You can choose from several other dance styles.

For me, being married to an ex-disco boy from Brooklyn, there is only one dance to do! Do I have the moves or what?

Fun Friday – The Truth About Cats and Dogs

Many thanks to Melissa from the Dangerous Women Writing group for sharing this hilarious take on cats and dogs. If you want to join a fun loop, check us out! You can spend time with all the Dangerous Women Writing – Nina Bruhns, Anna DeStefano, Donna Grant, Michele Hauf, Jennifer Haymore/Dawn Halliday, Rita Herron, Caridad Pineiro, Debra Webb, and Lisa Renee Jones/Faith Winter!

You can join us by sending an e-mail to [email protected].

So now for the truth about cats and dogs! Here are sample entries from cat and dog diaries.

Excerpts from a Dog’s Diary……

Excerpts from a Cat’s Daily Diary…

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a ‘good little hunter’ I am. Bastards.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of ‘allergies.’ I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow — but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released – and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now…………….
