<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Number one:</span> Things you should never allow kids to give their mothers (or should you give yours).</span><br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDG0qSolw1D7Ijgc8WugbzFJcEUpBd4EX_X_pnYAD-4qSikzZt0sFPMiXszKe0NAKZexmRIxyKsCFs-6yiTUmy3OcKFub2j_bMB9vU2vROg0ixrNhDikw_T7z6KY6_r8-DBH2h1vRpF61q/s1600/cellulite.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDG0qSolw1D7Ijgc8WugbzFJcEUpBd4EX_X_pnYAD-4qSikzZt0sFPMiXszKe0NAKZexmRIxyKsCFs-6yiTUmy3OcKFub2j_bMB9vU2vROg0ixrNhDikw_T7z6KY6_r8-DBH2h1vRpF61q/s200/cellulite.jpg" width="198" /></span></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No. VERY bad idea</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A lawnmower. (Would replace Dad. Bad idea)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A cookbook. (She'll see it as an insult to her orange and parsley meatball casserole)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hedge trimmer. (Another potential Dad replacement or a comment about her leg-shaving habits)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A puppy. (A potential replacement for YOU.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All the obvious things. Kids picking gifts when little is kind of a mistake anyway because most moms aren't big fans of Hotwheels or Barbies. They have to pick them up off the floor all the time or stepping on them when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Legos are completely off the list. I heard a rumor that the government wants to replace water boarding with barefooted Lego walking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Number two: </span>For husbands, should you give your wife a gift on Mother's Day? She's not YOUR mother, after all...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a toughie and I have mixed feelings on this one. I always believed when the kids were little to get the gift for the wifey and have them sign a card, or make cookies or something. The bad thing is getting the wrong gift and then getting THE LOOK. How was I supposed to know that certain perfumes cause a rash?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not sure if this is going to be of much help to anyone, but if you've got ideas about what NOT to get your Mom, I'd love to hear them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And in the meantime, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Take care,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Mel Kent, a guy who can certainly guard just about anyone’s body. However, he
probably doesn’t lust after them the way he lusts for Rose Jackson. She’s
young, bright and everything he wants - but can’t have. After all, she’s in
charge of a multi-million dollar corporation and he’s just the hired help.<br />
Rose is more than a little aware of the hunk of masculine perfection guarding
her body. She’s indulged in a few fantasies herself, time permitting. Now that
she has chance to take a night off, she decides to scratch that itch the
professional way - at an exclusive resort where pleasure is the only goal. It’s
expensive, but ...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Excerpt-</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
Rose strolled to the
buffet that lined one wall and gazed at the mass of scented candles, then let
her fingers drift over the tasteful selection of high-end glossy magazines, her
thoughts still on Mel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He’s good at his job</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
He spoke little, was as
unobtrusive as a shadow, and yet…lately she’d noticed something in his eyes
when they met hers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He looks at me like he’s interested</i>. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Like he wants to take my clothes off and check me for bugs. And I think
I’d let him. Which is entirely the fault of being celibate for too long.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
Maybe she was imagining
it. He’d been by her side, protecting her ever since her husband had been
felled by an aneurism and left her in sole control of Jackson Enterprises. Now
that she fit the description of incredibly rich widow, she supposed she needed
a bodyguard. She had taken over the reins of the business, developed new
campaigns and worked hard on new leads over the past eighteen months. She’d
proved herself worthy of the CEO position she’d inherited - but at one hell of
a cost.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
To accomplish her goals,
she’d sacrificed herself in a variety of ways…no social life, no parties, no
adventurous foreign vacations…not even a shopping trip down Fifth Avenue more
than once every six months or so. Sometimes she’d had to remind herself to
shower. It had been all work, all the time. Deaf to the entreaties of her
friends, she’d hunkered down in her office, and only now could she come up for
air, breathe, and take a few hours for herself. The work was still there, but
she had it running the way she wanted at last, with people she could rely on
taking some of the burden from her shoulders.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
Of course, the change in
her situation and her new accessibility brought about its own share of
problems.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
Not a day passed without
a friend approaching her bearing a suggestion. Often it was for a blind date,
or occasionally it was the phone number of some businessman they knew who wanted
to take her to dinner. Which was all well and good, but not anything Rose was
particularly interested in. Even though the last couple of years had been spent
in near-hermitlike isolation, she wasn’t a fool and had a well-developed streak
of practicality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
She knew she couldn’t
trust anyone to go out with her as Rose and not Ms. Jackson, rich widow. Doubtless
those men existed. But she’d rather be safe than sorry. A woman in her position
only gave her trust to those who absolutely earned it. Or to those whose
discretion she’d purchased.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
Which had brought her
here, to this up-market and discreet hideaway. A place where she was going to
rediscover a side of herself she’d buried and damn near forgotten about.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
A place where she
intended to let a man take her body and pleasure it, use his skills to bring
her joy, excitement and - she hoped - at least one eye-rolling, scream
inducing, stress releasing, toe-curling orgasm. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .3in;">
Maybe even two.</div>

vacationing salesman isn’t Jeff McAdams’ idea of weekend fun. But he’s
the architect of the development, so sitting in a model home and
attempting to sell visitors on the ideas he’s incorporated into his
designs - it’s something he doesn’t really mind doing. <br />It gets a bit
more challenging when his partner (and father) announces they’ve hired a
new design team. Jeff takes it in stride, since he knows when it comes
to the fancy stuff, he’s no expert. Give him a ruler, a set of
blueprints and an idea. Leave the soaps and toss pillows to someone
else.<br />That someone else arrives late that afternoon. And when she
walks upstairs she takes Jeff’s breath away. It’s Gabriella Rossini, the
one girl he could never forget. Within seconds the heat between them
flares and Jeff and Gaby soon realize that sometimes embers can simmer
for years without dying.<br />And when rekindled, the ensuing flame could
be hot enough to singe their eyebrows. Hmm. Something’s burning in this
Open House - and it's not the optional gas fireplace…</span></div>

I know I haven't been around a lot, in fact not much at all.<br />
There's been a log going on and I'm on the roller coaster of life so I do apologize for not talking much but my darling Dawn ha been kicking me to share more with all you great followers and readers.<br />
<br />
Firstly - THANK YOU to everyone that read and commented on HIRED HELP.<br />
Had some great fun and I am diligently working on MY follow up that I plan to make hotter and funner. I always strive to have fun with sex. That's why I have puppets and binoculars.<br />
<br />
Secondly - There are going to be some new blogs and giveaways coming through so keep your eyes open and fingers ready to type. A lot of my friends are in these loops and free books and stuff are always good.<br />
<br />
Thirdly - I am traveling now and melting in my chair as I sit in Arizona. Sahara Kelly and I are meeting with the RWA Desert Rose Chapter and talking about cover art and other fun stuff. It'll be fun to spend a few days with Sahara we only see each other a few times a year. That and I get to see one of my favorite authors, Cheyenne McCray.<br />

I plan to take pictures and share them Wednesday or Thursday. Here's a picture in the hotel. It's of my nutsack.<br />
<br />
So this being Monday I have to wish you all a happy Monday. Which is actually a double negative because Monday's suck.<br />
<br />
Take care,<br />

I waited a few days to make sure everything was ready to talk about.<br />
I have a new book out.<br />
HIRED HELP.<br />
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008B7RMLY/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_alp_U9C2pb06E2GAE<br />
It's at Smashords, kindle, ARE, everywhere<br />
That's right...a present to all the women out there to inspire them to take care of the Father's.<br />
Typical male attitude. Make women happy so they will make us guys happy.<br />
It's a little 99cent story I wrote with Sahara Kelly to start a series we are going to be writing together and separately.<br />
I hope you get a chance to check it out.<br />
There's a plot to it but mostly steamy sex and fun. Just what you expect.<br />
Hope everyone reads it and acts out some of the acts on the men in their life.<br />

MAN IT SUCKS.<br />
Had graduations, Birthday Parties and other graduation parties to go to.<br />
But what is always funny about vacations is you end up spending more money and getting less things you WANT to do done that going back to work is a break.<br />
What a sick way to live.<br />
I'm actually getting back into writing.<br />
Have a few little stories flipping around in my feeble mind so I'm happy about that.<br />
<br />
I always like asking questions so this time I'd like to know where would you go for the ultimate vacation?The "DUDE"http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997087047996324326noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176815933053233943.post-61743740043127375702012-05-23T01:41:00.001-07:002012-05-23T01:41:43.320-07:00It's about timeBeen a crazy few weeks.<br />
Working insane overtime but the wifey needs new things so I better work.<br />
See...well trained.<br />
<br />
Had some good and bad this week.<br />
Bad - HOUSE tv show is done. Liked the show a lot and was one of the better finales of a series.<br />
Good - Kris Allen came out with a new cd. There are a lot of fans of Adam Lambert but I always liked this guys style of music better.<br />
<br />
Not a lot of news to share. Kids graduating from schools, working like a mad man on art, started writing a western (Don't worry, it's all ME so it's a semi spoof).<br />
But didn't want you all to think I fell off the planet...again. Last time was a mess.<br />
<br />
Anyone have any fun vacations planned for the summer?The "DUDE"http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997087047996324326noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176815933053233943.post-47586788415692334032012-05-03T23:57:00.006-07:002012-05-04T00:46:30.624-07:00BDSM-A-PALOOZA!<div style="text-align: center;" class="photoUnit clearfix"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);" class="hasCaption"><span style="font-size:130%;">Get ready for as much good, kinky fun as you can handle!</span></span><br style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><br style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-size:130%;" >On<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>May 9 & 10<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);" class="hasCaption"><span style="font-size:130%;">the superstars of BDSM erotic fiction shake it up at the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.smutketeers.com/">Smutketeers blog</a>!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">There will be kink!

BackYes it's been a while and in typical male fashion...I forgot to call, or post for that matter.<br />
RT was a blast. I met a lot of new people and saw many friends I only see once a year.<br />
The readers I met were great. I handed out a LOT of flash buttons but didn't get to flash anyone. I guess the law calls that indent exposure.<br />
<br />
I plan to post a bunch of the pictures and send out the bag of goodies I picked up.<br />
My DAWN also informed me I need to resend a package a winner of a contest didn't get.<br />
I hate it when my package gets lost. Nothing sadder tan a man misplacing his package. That's why my wife puts mine in the freezer next to the frozen peas and carrots.<br />
<br />
Long story.<br />
So keep a look out for more posts about things.<br />
<br />
I did have a question though.<br />
The big topic at RT was the "50 SHADES OF GREY" books.<br />
Have any of you read the book and what are your thoughts on it?<br />
I'd love to hear about it.<br />
<br />
Joke<br />
<br />
TRIPLETS<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">A woman pregnant with triplets is walking down the street when a masked robber runs out the bank and shoots her three times in the stomach. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">Luckily the babies are okay. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">The surgeon decides to leave the bullets in because it's too risky to operate. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">All is fine for 16 years, and then one daughter walks into the room in tears. "What's wrong" asks the mother. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">"I was taking pee and this bullet came out" replies the daughter. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">The mother tells her it's okay and explains what happened 16 years ago. About a week later the second daughter walks in to the room in tears. "Mom, I was taking pee and this bullet came out". Again the mother tells her not to worry and explains what happened 16 years ago. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">A week later the boy walks into the room in tears. "It's okay" says the mom, "I know what happened, you were taking a pee and a bullet came out." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">"No," says the boy, "I was jerking off and I shot the dog."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;"><img border="0" height="1" src="http://www.funnyhumor.com/viewcount.php?type=joke&id=445&s=" width="1" /></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">24 HOURS</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">A man returns from the doctor and tells his wife that the doctor has told him he has only 24 hours to live. Given this prognosis, the man asks his wife for sex. Naturally, she agrees, and they make love. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">About six hours later, the husband goes to his wife and says, "Honey, you know I now have only 18 hours to live. Could we please do it one more time?" Of course, the wife agrees, and they do it again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">Later, as the man gets into bed, he looks at his watch and realizes that he now has only 8 hours left. He touches his wife shoulder, and asks, "Honey, please...just one more time before die." She says, "Of course, Dear," and they make love for the third time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">After this session, the wife rolls over and falls asleep. The man, however, worried about his impending death, tosses and turns, until he's down to 4 more hours.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">He taps his wife, who rouses. "Honey, I have only 4 more hours. Do you think we could..." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px;">At this point the wife sits up and says, "Listen, I have to get up in the morning. You don't!"<img border="0" height="1" src="http://www.funnyhumor.com/viewcount.php?type=joke&id=853&s=" width="1" /></span>The "DUDE"http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997087047996324326noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176815933053233943.post-46049332577459520832012-04-09T12:19:00.000-07:002012-04-09T12:19:06.447-07:00I'm HERE, not there, but HEREThat's right. I'm at the RT convention and looking to get a big ol goodie bag full of swag for ONE lucky person. I am hunting down Anne Rainey and Karen Erickson also to sign our TAHOE NIGHTS book also.<br />
<br />
So let's have a little contest to give away something fun.<br />
<br />
To enter is easy.<br />
Answer this question on this blog and be entered to win.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Where would you like the Romantic Times Conference to be?</h3>
<br />
See simple, just name a place you'd like the conference to be held and you're entered.<br />
<br />
Hawaii or Aruba would be nice but I don't think they'd do it.<br />
<br />
Don't forget if you see me to ask me to FLASH you.<br />
Us perverts like showing off.<br />
<br />
Take care and spread the word.<br />

Harry and his wife are having hard financial times, so they decide that she'll become a hooker. She's not quite sure what to do, so Harry says, "Stand in Front of that bar and pick up a guy. Tell him that you charge a hundred bucks. Any questions, I'll be parked around the corner."<br /><br />She's standing there for 5 minutes when a guy pulls up and asks, "How much?" She says, "One hundred dollars." He says, "All I got is thirty". She says, "Hold on," and runs back to Harry and asks, "What can he get for thirty?" "A hand job," Harry replied.<br /><br />She runs back and tells the guy all he gets for thirty quid is a hand job. He agrees. She gets in the car. He unzips his trousers, and out pops a HUGE smooth and very beautiful penis!<br /><br />She stares at it for a minute, and then says, "I'll be right back."She runs back to Harry.<br /><br />"What's wrong?" he asks, "Any chance you could lend this guy seventy bucks?!"</div>

One of my favorite conferences.<br />
It's all about the thing I like.<br />
Writing, eating bad food, art, lectures and hanging out in a bar until closing and talking to people about how all the sex scenes you write really happened.<br />
<br />
I see my friends, authors, people I work with and mainly all the readers.<br />
I LOVE talking to readers about what they like about the books.<br />
You are all the reason why I write.<br />
<br />
So remember if you see me there ask me to flash you.<br />
That's right, I'm going to be there flashing people.<br />
Hopefully the cops won't mind.<br />
<br />
You'll all see what I mean when there.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited.<br />

<br />
Not a lot of news other than the few conferences and places I went to.<br />
Funny how little time you find for yourself when you're working all the time.<br />
I have basically become a vampire and live on late nights.<br />
At least I don't sparkle in the sunlight.<br />
<br />
I had a lot of fun in Arizona and met a bunch of people.<br />
Thanks to everyone that joined us in the St. Patricks Day blog hop.<br />
All us writers had a lot of fun and I was happy to see all the comments made on my post and the poem.<br />

RT is next month.</div>

I am looking forward to seeing all of you readers there.</div>

I'll have a bunch of my buttons and whatever other kind of goodies I can dig up.</div>

If you're going I'd love to hear who's going.</div>

Why? Because I can.<br />
It's been a busy, chaotic week and as usual I end up getting screwed over and not kissed first.<br />
Life can be that way but at least some flowers or chocolate after being so rough would ease the pain.<br />
I am a pretty lucky guy. I write sexy, fun, erotic stories and design book covers for some pretty big authors. At times I pinch myself which is silly because I look funny pinching myself on the butt. <br />
But we all have rough days and I was thinking about what a perfect day would be like.<br />
Other than having Kate Beckinsale give e a full service body massage and oil treatment.<br />
<br />
For me a perfect day would be sleeping in, breakfast in bed (waffles and bacon) some really hot sex, going back to sleep, waking up to a double roasted beef sandwich and a Dr Pepper, some more hot sex, watching some zombie movies, a big steak dinner with a baked potato and getting a shoulder massage while watching the game, some more really hot sex then sleeping for 12 hours.<br />
<br />
Typical man. Food, Sex, Sleep and Sports. The order may vary.<br />
<br />
What would all of your perfect days be like? <br />

The scent of cinnamon and sugar danced on the air as Willow Delton heaved opened the heavy oven door to remove her prized cinnamon rolls. The plump, buttery pastries were baked to perfection, and she set them on the counter to cool. The only thing missing was her thick and creamy frosting, but that would have to wait. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Willow stood back and stared around her commercial grade kitchen. She’d started her bakery from scratch, and it had grown into a successful, albeit small, business. Incredible, really. She’d never thought the day would arrive when she finally had a place to call her own. She was right where she wanted to be. Her favorite part of the day was being able to meet one-on-one with her customers. She loved the looks on their faces when they bit into her temptations, that look of ecstasy not seen on this side of the bedroom door that flashed across their eyes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, that particular look as the result of a man was long absent from Willow’s face. Too excruciatingly long. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She stood back and closed her eyes, conjuring the memory of her mystery man’s face. The image that filled her mind made her forget the lack of human contact. The thought of his deep, husky voice tickled her spine whenever he spoke. Green eyes caught her in his web with only a glance. She’d fallen for a stranger and didn’t even know his name. He’d come into her store every morning and ordered a cinnamon roll and coffee with only a few words. Then he ‘d pay cash before lifting up the corner of his mouth in a semblance of a smile and walking out of her store. Was it strange she worried he’d keep walking and never return?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A bell’s tinkle pulled Willow from her reverie and self-pity. As she turned to greet her customer, her heart leapt to her throat. Him. Her mysterious fantasy man. As she tried to regain her senses, she took all of him in. He had to be one of the tallest men she’d ever seen, easily over six and a half feet. The tight black T-shirt he wore hugged his biceps and cut into his muscular physique, while his broad shoulders stretched and strained the seams. His body tapered down to a narrow waist and hips as they met his thighs. His long legs she wanted to grip, encased in worn jeans lead to work boots. Hmm, construction perhaps? She glanced back up his body to his striking face.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He wasn’t beautiful, but he did have a face most women would dream about. A strong jaw and cheekbones gave him an aura of strength, the kind of strength that would be protective. His hair was midnight black and long enough to brush his shoulders, however, today, a band held it back, showcasing his face more. He studied her, his green eyes calm and calculating. Willow let out a surprised gasp at the sexual heat radiating from him. Could she possibly be imagining things?</div>

Jasper Jamenson fought himself as he walked into the bakery that morning. This would be the seventh week in a row he’d come here, every day but Sunday. And that was only because the damn store was closed. As good as the cinnamon rolls were, and they were little tastes of heaven, it was the woman behind the counter that brought him there every morning.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Following a particularly bad night in the forest on a hunt, Jasper had been pissed and hungry. Another wolf had tried to play a dominant game, forcing Jasper to hurt him. The stench of the other’s defeat had remained on him, only angering Jasper that much more. The scent of the morning’s freshly baked goods pulled him through the quaint and welcoming door, and the slender goddess who served him brought thoughts of a different form of servicing to mind.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Slightly above average in height – he would guess about five foot seven – she was the perfect height to settle against his body. For someone who owned and operated a bakery, she was as skinny as a rail. However, if he looked close enough he could see the telltale signs possible of curves. And with just a little bit of his help and pampering she would gain some well-needed cushion. No matter what, she’d look amazing underneath him. Her long, light brown hair curled in a bun on the top of her head. His fingers ached to pull out the pins and watch it tumble down her back. Hazel eyes sought him and begged for his protection. Damn, he was willing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her look made the wolf within him perk up and growl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Mate? I want her”.</i> His wolf paced beneath the surface of his skin, calculating the best way to quickly claim their mate.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What his wolf spoke of was a possibility. There were only a few women in the world through time that carried the scent to signal the potential mating. Unlike his brother Kade, who had met two women recently that carried the scent, Jasper had never in his one-hundred and three years come across a woman who brought forth the mating urge. However, if all encounters were like this one, Jasper didn’t know how others walked away. The urge rode him hard and he fought his wolf for control if only for a moment, something that hadn’t happened since he was a pup.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He mentally spoke to his wolf. “<i>We are not ready for a mate. And a human no less. She knows nothing of us. If, and that is a big if, we chose her to be our mate, we will have to go slowly into this. I don’t want us to scare her. But she is beautiful, no”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His wolf growled in response.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Do you want to scare her away? Let’s get to know her first, see if she is a good match, other than that incredible cinnamon scent. I’ll talk to Adam and find out everything I can about her. I am the Beta; I cannot put my Pack in jeopardy.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God, he really sucked at this. This time he needed to put on his big wolf panties and actually ask her out. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“<i>Then we could mark her</i>.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He snorted at his wolf. Yeah, that was taking it slow.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jasper shook himself from his inner thoughts and looked into those hazel eyes. The spot of flour on her cheek begged for his hand to brush it way. He fought the urge. No need to freak her out. Her chest moved slowly, her small breasts rising and falling. The cinnamon scent of her filled his nostrils and he took a deep breath, the aroma going straight to his cock. The slight gasp that escaped from her kissable lips almost broke his control, and he fisted his hands to regain it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Good morning.” His voice lowered an octave and became a growl. He cleared his throat and started again. “I come here every morning and I don’t think I ever gave you my name. Let me rectify that.” He closed the distance between them so only the counter separated them. “I’m Jasper Jamenson. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He held out his hand in hopes of touching her skin.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Willow blinked up at him and seemed at a loss for words. Her lips opened slightly, begging him to lean down and taste her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Uh… yeah… I’m Willow Delton.” She shook her head, gave him a small smile and placed her slender hand in his. He’d been right – her skin was incredibly soft and made him want to take a bite.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes, I know, you own this place.” He gave her hand a squeeze and released her.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“So, Jasper, do you want your usual?” The sound of his name on her lips hardened his cock. Without waiting for him to respond, she turned back to her work-table to ice her cinnamon rolls.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Sounds good.” He watched as her hands moved swiftly and confidently across the baking sheets. “What time do you get off?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Smooth, Romeo. Why don’t you just ask her to bend over the work table for you?”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ignoring his wolf Jasper continued, “I thought that we could grab a bite to eat tonight and go see to the arts fest they have running in town.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh dear Lord. Why didn’t he ease into this?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh, are you asking me out on a date?” She wrinkled her brow and looked utterly confused at the prospect.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes, I am. I’ve been in here for over a month every morning, and as much as I love your food, I had an ulterior motive.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Surprise flashed across her face before her eyes lit up with excitement. “I’ve never been to the arts fest in town. I didn’t want to go by myself and didn’t have anyone to go with me.” Her mouth snapped shut at her revealing statement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laughing quietly, he shook his head. “So what time do you get off?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“You really need to stop putting it like that; it gives me ideas.” </i>Again, he ignored his wolf’s sarcasm.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I close at four and should be done cleaning up by five. It’s only me here today so it’s going to take me an hour to close.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What do you say I come back at six and we go to dinner from here?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her smile almost blinded him as she nodded before taking off her apron. “Okay. Sounds good. Here’s your breakfast.” She handed him his black coffee and a small brown bag with a pink logo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Taking everything from her hands, he set them down along with the cash to pay for it. Giving into temptation he leaned over the counter to brush the flour from her cheek.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She jumped and a flash of alarm raced across her face.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chuckling under his breath, he reassured her. “Just some flour. I’ll see you at six, Willow.” He grabbed his breakfast and walked to the door, taking one last look behind him at the woman who was his mate. He was one lucky bastard.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whistling a jaunty tune, he walked toward his Jeep, unconcerned and happy while leaving his mate to do her work. The hairs on the back of his neck lifted, and his wolf came to attention. The street was empty but for a few people; nothing looked out of place. Jasper took a deep breath but didn’t detect another presence. With one last look toward his slender brunette, he shrugged off the uneasy feeling and continued to his Jeep. </div>

Do you like paranormal? Are you a vampire, or shifter fan? Do you have a preference? Well our visiting author <a href="http://carrieannryan.blogspot.com/">Carrie Ann Ryan</a> does... she is a shifter fan. She not only reads shifters, she writes them as well, as a matter of fact today is her release for her newest book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Taste-Mate-Redwood-Pack-ebook/dp/B0073WA12K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1328072877&sr=8-2">A Taste of a Mate</a> in her Redwood Pack series. </div>

oh wait. Well it was easy before I started writing and reading about amazing
shifters. I mean there are wolves, cats and bears, (oh my!) Sorry I could
resist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span> </span>But I were a shifter, I’d have to go
with my gut instinct – a wolf. I love them in real life and I write them in my
books. Though in the future I’m going write about others, I still feel an
inherent connection to the wolf. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span> </span>Don’t worry, I won’t get into an endangered
species talk – but I will say that the best parts of paranormal romance shifter
stories are when the authors take those things and put them in the character.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span> </span>I would love to run on four paws,
have enhanced senses, and feel like part of a Pack. If I were a cat shifter,
sometimes the author has them as solitary creatures and other times part of a
pride or jamboree.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span> </span>If I were a shifter… I’d love the fact
that I’d have two halves of a whole. I know that the constant struggle to see
which would be stronger and in command is a burden – but I want to know more
about it. I want to be able to run in the woods under the moonlight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Like most men I have zero knowledge of the "CURSE"<br />
You know, when you have the painters in to retexture the walls<br />
Painting the town red<br />
Riding the cotton pony<br />
Or the various other ways you describe your monthly "CURSE".<br />
Well as a man all I know is this.<br />
<br />
Women do tend to flow together in groups so once a month I try to take my son and run for the hills.<br />
The wifey and two daughters scare the bejeezus out of me.<br />
I'm scared they'll have a knife after I eat the last morsel of chocolate chip cookies or dare even ask if I can have a single sheet of toilet paper and debate on just using my hand so I don't have to bother any of the females in the house. Leaving the seat up or having bad aim has been known to cause bodily harm.<br />
I hope I don't offend anyone I am just teasing about this... Please, put the sharpened pencil down.<br />
<br />
Being around the women at home helps me get a little better idea about some things. Except the little female pacts when you all sit in a circle chanting. I also now now where Steven King has gotten inspiration for some of his novels. It also keeps me in line because it is a constant reminder of who really runs the world.<br />
<br />
We all think men do but even President Obama asks Michelle if his tie matches his suit.<br />
And you know she sends him back to put on matching colored socks.<br />

So now I was thinking what else to do.<br />
Be on the lookout for a new giveaway, I like sharing thinks and giving gifts to people.<br />
All the blogging and social network stuff is new and different to me but I have been meeting new people and want to thank everyone for being so open and fun.<br />
Other than the nude photos of me with a blow-up sheep and covered in grape jelly, everything else has been positive.<br />
I do like ending my posts with questions and have had some great laughs from everyone.<br />
<br />
I'm doing a gift basket for RT in April and want it to be cool.<br />
<br />

Had to send a reminder to everyone about my giveaway.<br />
At the end of the week I'm going to draw a name from my newsletter for a new KINDLE eReader.<br />
Wanted to give everyone a chance.<br />
<br />
As usual a question for everyone.<br />
<br />
Speaking of giveaways, I am going to RT and want to give a basket of goodies.<br />
What would be nice goodies to have in the basket?The "DUDE"http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997087047996324326noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176815933053233943.post-62909362306923430622012-01-17T00:33:00.000-08:002012-01-17T00:33:10.470-08:00WANNA GET OWNED?OMG, they released my new book OWNED.<br />
I am always nervous on release day. It's like my first time.<br />
We all remember our first time.<br />
I was scared, nervous, fumbling my words...and alone.<br />
Tense times indeed.<br />
But onto the subject at hand, I have a new book out and if you sign up for my newsletter you get in the drawing to win a KINDLE eReader.<br />
Pretty cool huh?<br />
Of course you'll buy the book so I can PAY for the reader.<br />
Thanks to everyone that has already joined the newsletter and good luck.<br />
<br />
BTW, i always like asking questions.<br />
What do you remember most about your FIRST TIME?The "DUDE"http://www.blogger.com/profile/17997087047996324326noreply@blogger.com3
