SciFi Question:

Are you a closet Trekkie? Dr. Who-ite?

Cara:
I like Star Trek, the original and the Next Generation TV shows and the movies, but I don’t consider myself to be a Trekkie. I do think that the original Star Trek TV show was quite bold in dealing with social issues of the day.

Cynthia:
I’m very open about my love of Star Trek. My entire Operation Erotic series is devoted to my fervent love of Data from The Next Generation (grins). I’ve only been to one Star Trek convention however and I’m ashamed to say I wasn’t in costume. My Klingon is very weak also (Worf!!! Woof!). I love Star Wars! Han Solo was my first movie boyfriend. I chirped like R2-D2 for months after seeing the first movie, driving my dear wonderful mom insane. Dr. Who was my first taste of Sci-Fi and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

A.M. Griffin:
Trekki for sure. I don’t watch the old Captain Kirk ones, I like Captain Picard. I think I’ve seen every episode numerous times, but just to make sure I never miss an opportunity to watch one. Captain Picard has a certain authority about him. It might be that tight suit, his bald head, his accent or jus the way he says “Engage”. Whew!

Lolita:
Dr Who. All the way! Some nights, I'll click onto Netflix or Amazon's Instant Video and just stream episode after episode while I write. I'm a huge, HUGE fan of the Shakespeare episode where Dr. Who takes Martha Jones back to Elizabethan England. There's this witch running loose, only she's actually an alien, and….I'm rambling. Anywho. Fantastic show!

After a brazen Splinter attack, the Shadow Force uncovers secrets about Dizzy’s late mother that entangle her in a web of deceit. To save Venom, her father and an operative named Terror, Dizzy digs deep and risks it all.

Venom refuses to stand idly by while Dizzy’s haunted past threatens the future they’re trying to build. He finally has a reason for living—and he’s not giving her up.

Loving Dangerously, Book Three

Jess hates aliens. After the invasion that destroyed Earth, the extraterrestrial bastards sold her to a brothel as a sex slave. She may have escaped but the old memories and fears still linger in the dark corners of her mind. Supposedly Sonis is just the place for her—somewhere safe, where she can heal and start fresh. She’s almost hopeful…until she meets Rasha, her new boss.

Rasha, captain of the Sonis Royal Guard, is a warrior through and through. He’s huge, sinfully sexy and could have any woman on Sonis—but the woman he wants is Jess. He’s very much an alien and Jess knows she should hate him or at least be wary, but whenever he’s around, she loses control. She tells herself it’s only sex—amazing, mind-blowing sex like nothing else she’s ever experienced—but there’s something about Rasha that shakes her soul. The feel of his skin against hers, the look in his eyes as he touches her—they make her want to believe it’s possible to find love and begin again.

Jaguar in the Sun

Anya Richards

 Book four in the Unveiled Seductions series.

Cassandra Solinar has a bucket list and jaguar god Xbal Montegro is on it. About to undergo an essential rite she won’t survive, she wants to wring every ounce of pleasure out of the time left. Including discovering if Xbal’s sex magic technique is as good as rumored.

It’s no hardship for Xbal to accept Cassandra’s invitation for one erotic encounter, but far more difficult to let her go once he gets a taste of the explosive passion between them. Now he’s determined to hold on to her, no matter what.

Cassie can’t tell Xbal the truth about what she’s about to do. It’s illegal, but without her death the entire world will perish. It’s a job she’s been preparing for from birth, but the loss will be greater now. For in Xbal she finds a soul-deep connection she doesn’t want to lose, and the one thing she made a point of not putting on her bucket list—love.

The Build Up...

On the Twelfth Day of Pre-Release the author gave to me…

The final build-up to the main event!

Oooo…it’s almost here! Tomorrow is release day for Jaguar inthe Sun and I’m so excited I can hardly stand it… J

During my Twelve Days of Pre-Release tour I’ve talked about so many aspects of this book and I was a little stumped for what I should do for this last post. Then I thought, hey, the tour was the foreplay, tomorrow is the Big Event, so this post should be that final little extra something that happens just before the release hits. Yep. Pun intended.

So here’s a little look at what happens when the heroine Cassandra and the hero Xbal are finally alone:

He got the tight sleeves partway down and paused, his gaze slipping down to devour her body just as effectively as his lips had consumed her mouth. The tightening of his fingers on her upper arms, the flare of desire in his eyes and his low moan of appreciation made her shiver with anticipation. It would be easy to pull the sleeves the rest of the way off herself but she stayed where she was, arms trapped slightly behind her body, basking in the heat of Xbal’s perusal. Passivity wasn’t her usual style. She liked being an active participant during sex and still wanted, oh so badly, to experience the feel of his body against hers. Yet here, now, it felt right to let him take the lead, to lie back against the door with her back slightly arched, breasts thrust out, offering herself up for his delectation.

Xbal took a deep breath, his nostrils flaring slightly as he did.

“Gorgeous,” he growled. His gaze still tracked along her body, flicking over her legs and torso, bringing the sparks of arousal beneath her skin to full burn. Cassie couldn’t remember ever feeling as beautiful—or as wanted—as she did in that moment. Couldn’t recall ever craving a man as much as she craved Xbal.

“Are you just going to look?”

Try as she might to make the words amused and inviting, they came out rushed and breathy—far needier than she intended.

Releasing her arms, Xbal flicked open the clasp at the front of her bra, holding on to the edges of the cups to slowly let them part. The spidersilk got caught on her nipples, the soft brush and minute drag making her gasp, and he left it clinging there. His eyelids lifted, and she found herself once more held captive by the dark enticement of his gaze.

“No.” Stark need and blatant intent made the word scrape across her consciousness, sending a shock of fire along her spine. “Now I make you mine.”

Umm… *fans self* Xbal is a sexy beast, and Cassie is a woman after my own heart, strong, determined and, once she makes up her mind, almost unstoppable.

Tomorrow I’ll be celebrating release day over at CristalRyder’s blog, and I hope you’ll stop by for a visit! *does a little jig* I love release day!

A Sexy Bucket List

On the ninth day of pre-release the author gave to me…

…a sexy bucket list.

Most people think at some point or another about what they’d do if they knew they had a finite amount of time left. Some say they’d go skydiving or travel to that one special place they’ve always wanted to see. For the heroine of my upcoming release Jaguar in the Sun, book four in the Unveiled Seductions series, she’s drawn to have one day of passion with the man she’s been attracted to for ages:

The elevator doors opened and she stepped into the sleek, leather-lined interior to admire, as she always did, the murals stamped into the skins. Done in a primitive, Mesolithic style and colored with a variety of bright dyes, they were a feast for the eyes. Unable to resist, she traced the figure directly before her, a half-man, half-jaguar she always assumed to be Xbal. Her finger trembled as it struck her she may very soon be touching the real thing, discovering and exploring what she’d only dreamed of up to this point. The lurch of her stomach had nothing to do with riding the elevator to the tenth floor but made the breath catch in her throat and a shiver course over her back and shoulders.

As the lift came to a smooth halt, she let her hand drop back to her side and took a deep breath, trying to put it all back into perspective. In a little while she may or may not be sleeping with a man she found entirely enthralling. In a short time she’d know whether or not this particular long-held dream would come true or not. Yet, as much as anticipation and trepidation crackled under her skin, and as exciting as the prospect of fucking Xbal was, it wouldn’t be a life-changing moment.

Strange how knowing the end of your existence was imminent gave one the kind of cutting clarity that would be beneficial if you had more time to make use of it.

Oh, Cassie, if only you knew. Perhaps if she’d thought about it a little more, she’d realize people don’t put something like this on a bucket list unless it has deep, deep meaning to them. She’s opening Pandora’s box by propositioning Xbal, and what lies ahead will indeed be that life-changing moment she so easily dismissed!

The Twelve Days of Pre-Release

We’re getting into the crazy season, and suddenly I realized I had a new release coming up right at the start of it! Uh-oh…I know once December hits I’m out for the count, for a number of reasons. One is all the functions that pop up, some planned (the dreaded office parties), others impromptu (my son’s girlfriend coming for a visit from out-of-town), but there is also the fact I find I’m busier with editing at this time of the year than almost any other.

So, instead of trying to fit blogging and promo in amongst all the madness, I decided to have a Twelve Days of Pre-Release blog tour to introduce book four in my Unveiled Seductions series, Jaguar in the Sun. Pre-Release is a little like foreplay, right? Building the anticipation... because believe me, when a jaguar god and master of sex magic finally gets his hands on the woman he's been wanting since he first met her, you know the heat will be enough to break the thermometer!

Tomorrow I’ll be at the Cabal of Hotness blog to tell everyone a little more about the book, while talking about the perfect proposition. And over the next twelve days I’ll be sharing sneak peeks into some of the action and short excerpts exclusive to each blog. Join me please, on my whirlwind Twelve Days of Pre-Release blog tour!

Excerpt

“We should walk and let the men discuss business. I have been told that there is a lovely path to the water from here; we could walk on the beach.”

I didn’t feel as though it was my place to tell her that a walk along the beach in the winter was not all that pleasant. Not much was lovely in the winter. I stood and went with her; if this was what Jennot wanted, I would not ruin it for him. Marie and I walked a ways in the cold before she said anything.

“Your stitches,” she said, “so neat and tidy on the other men, but noton Jean-Mark?”

“He will not let me take my time with him,” I said with a laugh, “He wants to pretend nothing hurts him.”

She nodded as if what I said was important, “Where did you learn to stitch?”

“My father is a sail maker. I can stitch anything,” I told her. It was a source of pride for me.

“Good,” she said. She fell quiet for a few moments, and then she told me, “We can use that. The team takes care of its own. Jean-Mark will be paid and given a job for the off-season; you will be given a home in Halifax. And we will find you a home for the summer. It will be safer than this,” she said with a sweeping gesture to the sea, “My father was taken by the sea,” she added in a quiet voice.

“Jennot’s was as well,” I told her. “Do you love him, or is he just the closest boy?” she asked me quickly. She had turned and was looking at me fiercely.
