New Year’s Resolution</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Okay, I suck at New Year’s Resolutions. I can’t really think of one thing I’ve accomplished
based on some yearly promise. Of course,
I know why this is… I’m a procrastinator and I give myself a whole year to get my
resolution done. Yeah. Not a good idea. Things change – work gets crazier, kids’ needs
fluctuate unpredictably, priorities shift.
It’s easy to dismiss an unspecific goal, with a good enough reason, over
the course of 365 days!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Unspecific goal,” about that: Taking one of the things I’ve learned in my
many years in Weight Watchers, goals are important, but staying motivated is
even more so. As a writer, it’s kind of
funny to spend so much time with my characters goals, motivation, and
conflicts, but not enough on my own.
However, I’ll save that tangent for another day.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Goals are important, but if it’s something like “I want to
save $20,000 this year,” without following it up with a plan, nothing will magically
make it happen. Instead, motivation
dwindles and it seems impossible.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know all this, but still get myself caught up in the same
cycle, and it’s becomes a “maybe next year.”
This year, there are so many things I want to accomplish, and right now
I am extremely motivated, so I am striking while the iron is hot!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A recent conversation with a friend brought up the merits of
planning days in advance – like a calendar at work, but making sure to allot
time for all your goals. Example: Write
from 8:00-9:00 – or even just 15 minutes, as long as time is devoted to the
goals each day. So I am going to give it
a try – after all winging it hasn’t helped.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’ve also realized I have too many things vying for my time
and it can be overwhelming. Passing
thoughts, like; clean out nightstand, look up romance beat sheets, pick up highlighters. In order to keep track of all these tasks coming
to mind randomly throughout the day, I’ve dedicated a small notepad to keep
track of them and clear up some mental space.
We’ll see how it goes!</span></span></div>

The word "outline" brought up visions of high school English and Roman Numerals, and those memories were enough to send me running in the opposite direction. I proclaimed myself a panster and reveled in the freedom of flee flowing words... that went nowhere.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have finally admitted, my pansting is the reason I have way too many half finished stories begging for attention. The reason I spend hours writing, yet take years to produce a single work. Well, that, and my full time job, raising two kids, etc. Come to realize, it's exactly because I have limited time pansting isn't working.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Since I tend to look at things academically, I started to research plots and plotting and found as many different methods as there are genres of literature. Everyone has an approach and it has lead me to believe it's highly individual and one shouldn't rely simply upon adapting a single method.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For me, I had started doing what made sense to me... Once I had an idea, I wrote what I imagined to be the back blurb of my story. Then started expanding and expanding upon this, filling in details with each expansion, until I had my characters fleshed out a bit and part of the plot. Still there was something holding it back from being truly useful.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then I came upon the Snowflake Method and a light bulb went off. It has the basis of what I had done on my own, but it's a far more orgaized method focused on character and plot in a useful format. It also goes beyond the free flow of ideas and takes it a step further into plotting scenes. I'm not going to go through all the details (I don't think that's legal!), but if you're interested, I suggest you check it out <a href="https://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/articles/snowflake-method/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, the point is, if you're a panster struggling with direction in your story, struggling because your conflict isn't strong enough, I'd suggest you try fleshing out your story in a manner comfortable to you. Find what works and finish that book. 😘</span></span>Tara Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992221256132339596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369089013031686505.post-26531283323536150852017-02-12T07:00:00.001-08:002017-02-12T07:00:43.740-08:00Back to Basics<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Every year I vow to keep this blog up to date... sorry about that. Everyone says a writer needs to blog. Well, thankfully, it's not an absolute requirement. Otherwise, I'd be in serious trouble!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So what am I up to - Parenting, writing, day job. Basically the usual. What I haven't been doing, and I know this is going to shock many of you, is reading! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've been so busy with the day to day stuff, and devoting any surplus time to writing (or, sadly, procrastinating), that I've neglected my impressive TBR pile. It kind of sneaked up on me - after all it hadn't been a conscious choice to not read, it just happened. As with anything I've forgotten, slipped or skimped on, eventually something started to feel off. This may sound unusually dramatic coming from me, but everything seemed dull. Going through the same motions everyday, my energy toward writing dragged... something was missing. Then I glanced at my bag of books, from the last writers' conference I attended, and realized it was reading. I hadn't been fueling my passion, or taken enough down time in the evenings. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Immediately, I reached into the bag, and pulled out Tessa Dare's, Do You Want to Start a Scandal. I devoured it, I loved it, I laughed, I rooted for the couple, I recommended it to a friend. All those simple things that make reading a pleasure, and what a difference it made! I'm here after all. :) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When giving advice to newbie writers, most authors often include reading extensively, I cannot agree more. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What about you? Have you ever found you haven't been reading and missed it?</span></span>Tara Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992221256132339596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369089013031686505.post-75751692895138192082016-01-11T19:23:00.000-08:002016-01-11T19:23:06.108-08:00Long Overdue Turns Two<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"

I have no clue how to be one of those cool parents organizing play dates, crafty things, managing childhood conflicts, and all that. I can't even manage to keep my house in order long enough not to cringe if someone knocks on the door. Suzy-homemaker I am not. I'm more comfortable being the 'I'll bring my kid to your kid's birthday party' type of mom. But having two children, of course they want birthday parties, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The very first birthday party I threw for my son was in 2010, a couple weeks into his Kindergarten year. I knew no one, so what better way to meet some parents than having a party. Boy, was I wrong. All I was introduced to was the concept of a "drop off party". I was a little astounded that these parents were like "Hi, I'm so-and-so. We've never met before, you could be a serial killer for all I know, but here's my kid, I'll be back in two hours." Try managing 20 kids whose names you don't even know and who were bored of bowling after 5-6 frames. I didn't even take pictures! This is from the family party:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fYaWsoFiDZI/VW0OE0IFBQI/AAAAAAAAAhA/bkMRXbuxPHA/s1600/Alex%2B2010%2Bbirthday.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fYaWsoFiDZI/VW0OE0IFBQI/AAAAAAAAAhA/bkMRXbuxPHA/s320/Alex%2B2010%2Bbirthday.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Yeah, I swore off parties after that until last year when I figured I owed my daughter at least one party like her big brother had in Kindergarten. (That whole even-steven thing.) This time I was introduced to the concept of I'm going to bring siblings because, wow - you're having a mini golf party and that's way cool. (That whole even-steven thing, I guess.) When I tell you we barely scraped by with drinks, I sweated over having enough cupcakes for the kids (and it was like 95 degrees that day!), and had to pay-off my niece to forfeit her goodie bag to one sibling who was too young to not care about it. But my girl had a blast!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WPAOZJ_sZ8c/VW0OYLk8zBI/AAAAAAAAAhI/Tt1as_BudEc/s1600/IMG_6156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WPAOZJ_sZ8c/VW0OYLk8zBI/AAAAAAAAAhI/Tt1as_BudEc/s320/IMG_6156.JPG" width="212" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I bribed my son not to ask me for a birthday party that year by promising him an iPad. **Tip for parents, research your bribes first - I really did not know how much it would cost!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This year, I explained to my kids that there would be no birthday parties for a legitimate reason - money. My daughter just made her Communion (which was a huge expense), we're going camping in a few weeks (they LOOOOVE it and cannot wait), and we're going to Disney in July!! That on top of day camp and all the summer activity costs that will come - trips to Splashdown, the zoo, etc. We just can't promise both of them a party (one at the beginning of summer - late June, one at the end - early September) and we can't just have only one either - yep, even-steven. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My daughter doesn't understand. She's had three parties to go to for friends last month alone and another coming up. She's literally cried every time we picked up a present, and when we've left each party, because she's not having one. My little social butterfly is sad and I don't like that. So, I am e-mailing her 3 BFF's parents to see if they can go see Inside Out when it comes out to celebrate her birthday with a movie and pizza. I hope my baby will be happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, and now I'm introduced to the dilemma of whether to pay for the parent's tickets, too, if they want to come. I figured $30, in the scheme of things, isn't worth the awkwardness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Any advice would be welcome!</span>Tara Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992221256132339596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369089013031686505.post-79580224449405047142015-05-31T19:30:00.002-07:002015-05-31T19:31:33.891-07:00Summer Time Eats - Barley Salad<span style="font-size: large;">Once upon a time there was a girl who joined Weight Watchers and she was so committed and motivated she lost 50 pounds! Yay for her - a dream come true, for sure! Then One day the girl gave birth to her second child and was so happy she only had 11 pounds to lose - whoa! But she became content and started slipping into bad habits more and more, until seven years later she realized that 11 pounds would have been a hell of a lot easier to lose than... (hey, a girl has to keep some things a secret)!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you haven't guessed already, yes, that's my story. <insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.=""> </insert></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">A couple of weeks ago I started prioritizing. See, I have so many things I want to do - lose weight, finish my book, a thousand work projects at my day job, my kids day to day needs, clean out my basement, manage my garden. You get the drift, because I'm sure I'm not alone. Only, I'm not sure how everyone else deals with all the things life throws at them, but I apparently deal with it with my mouth full.</insert></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">So, back to basics, resurrecting some of my favorite habits from my Weight Watcher days, and no better time than as we approach summer. I may not be a fan of summer (bathing suits, summer daycare costs, and the heat - need I say more?), but I am a fan of summer eats! Throwing on the barbeque, grilled corn, grilled veggies, fresh fruit, cold salads... oh, hold up... </insert></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">Anyone who knows me, knows I am not a salad person, but I do love making salads with various grains, particularly barley. Something about barely, more substantial than rice, a little bite to it, it's nutty flavor - yum!! I made one today and wanted to share - though I'm not one for precise measurements, but I think this is very forgiving. </insert></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.=""><br /></insert></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">Barley, Cucumber and Tomato Salad</insert></b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.=""><br /></insert></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">2 cups pearled barley, cooked </insert></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">2 tbls red wine vinegar </insert></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">salt & pepper to taste </insert></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">2 tbls olive oil</insert></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">(You can do the above while the barley is warm, but wait till it cools before adding the rest.)</insert></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">1/2 cucumber - small dice </insert></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">1/3 - 1/2 container grape tomatoes - small dice </insert></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">1/2 red onion - small chop </insert></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">small handful of parsley - chopped </insert></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">small handful of cilantro - chopped (Optional - I know it's a love it or leave it thing - I love it!)</insert></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><insert -="" emoticon="" sad="" sniff.="">Adjust salt & pepper as needed, or add a little bit more vinegar at a time (go slow with that).</insert></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BEFtDBVDRXY/VWvBmWJhIjI/AAAAAAAAAgk/hwRV2yy-89U/s1600/image1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BEFtDBVDRXY/VWvBmWJhIjI/AAAAAAAAAgk/hwRV2yy-89U/s400/image1.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One
of my habits of old is making big batches of grains and freezing them.
Like an entire bag of brown rice, or barley, then freeze 2 cups in
ziplocks for separate servings anytime.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway - looks yummy, right? Hope you enjoy. </span>Tara Andrewshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12992221256132339596noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369089013031686505.post-24206173702389836742015-03-11T04:23:00.000-07:002015-03-11T04:23:22.585-07:001-2-3 Author Q&A with Author Kelly Janicello<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"

She just disregarded a direct order to terminate the sting, proving his point.
His fervent complaints of using an inexperienced, unpredictable rookie had
simply bounced off the walls of Bardzell's office. Brody wished Bardzell was
sitting with him right now to see the precise reason he'd argued with his
superior to begin with. He kept walking and pulled his ball cap lower. Way too

mouth was always two steps ahead of her brain. Instead of saying an Amen to end
the evening, she’d turned into an arrest greedy glutton. In for a penny…Her
aching feet sent sharp signals up her legs, threatening punishment later. How

these girls some credit, the narrow boots began pinching a half an hour after
hitting the pavement. Her poor toes were screaming in agony, each step more
unbearable than the last. She should have unzipped the black faux leather and

eyed the stranger closing in on her location. As he drew nearer, for a fleeting

<span class=GramE>And then</span> I heard myself asking if he’d like to come up
and we were inside and kissing in my quiet apartment where no one ever came. <span
class=GramE>Ever until now.</span> I always wondered what happens when two
young people are alone, hormones raging. Hearing about it and reading books is
not the same. I wore a spring sweater set, pleated skirt, underwear, socks and
sneakers. <span class=GramE>Nothing sexy except my feelings and wanting him.</span>
Scott had experience on his side. <span class=GramE>Was I expected</span> to be
a casual lay? I didn’t know and didn’t care. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

politely, he asked if I minded if he did this and that and soon we were naked
on my maiden double bed with pink flowered sheets and a matching spread. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“Grace,
you’re so beautiful.” He fondled my breasts as if they were treasures and
tasted one nipple and then the other. <span class=GramE>And</span> sucked like
a baby searching for milk. My hands grabbed his head, ran my fingers through
his thick curly hair and held him close never wanting him leave.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“I

Well, this time leave it up to me. Next time practice until you get it right
because I have a feeling we’re <span class=SpellE>gonna</span> need a lot of
protection.” He groaned and I heard a rip of a packet and fumbling and soon he
played with the dark moist space between my thighs until I lifted my hips to
heaven. Slowly, he entered the virgin territory where only a tampon had been.
No <span class=GramE>comparison here as he continued to move in a little deeper
each time</span> to break the barrier and we were one reaching for the stars.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I thought. <span class=GramE>And</span> I wanted more and right away. Like a
demon possessed, I coaxed his wilted member into an upright position after
about half an hour and we lost count by night’s end collapsing in each other’s <span
class=GramE>arms</span>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Vowing
to love each other forever, finish school in a few years and begin a life

We made a promise not to interfere with our different plans. I’d be off to
Purdue and he hadn’t solidified his plans yet. Law schools offered scholarships
for the brightest students; pick one. He’d almost made up his mind since
graduation was in June, a couple of months away.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

kissed my acting career goodbye, leaving on a high note with the lead in an Off
Broadway play, “The Fourth Commandment” by Rich <span class=SpellE>Knipe</span>.<span

my voice was gone, kaput, bye, bye,” Before that, I had a full schedule working
on movies like “Working Girl”, “Road to Wellsville” and having the pleasure of
Anthony Hopkins’ company at lunch.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>I
worked with Mike Nichols in “Regarding Henry” and sang outside with Harrison
Ford during “Working Girl”, cried with Gene Wilder over loss on another set, and
sang ‘It Had to be You’ with the whole cast of<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>“When Harry Met Sally”.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>There
were lots of fond memories; “Especially my first job as a stand-in leg model
for Geraldine Ferraro in a Diet Pepsi commercial with Secret Service men
guarding Ms. Ferraro and her daughters.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>Eleven years on One Life to Live, a few years on All My Children,
Another World kept my calendar full.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>New Year’s Eve is a night filled with bright colorful
lights, rambunctious outings, and a good amount of mischief. It also marks the passage
of time, bringing to mind our hopes for the future, the exhilaration that comes
with change, and fond memories of days past. Part of Decadent Publishing’s
1Night Stand line, my paranormal romantic comedy <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:
normal'>Fireworks at Midnight</i> features a struggling college graduate who is
just coming to terms with the thrills and perils of newfound independence. When
her best friend’s older brother rolls back into town, this intrepid young witch
is faced with help she doesn’t want, protection she doesn’t need, and the
reality that this warlock cop no longer thinks of her as a “troublesome little
sister.”</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Add a pinch of magic, supernatural mayhem, and Madame Eve’s
renowned matchmaking service, and <span class=GramE>we’ve got</span> the
beginnings of a stormy love story. Those who’ve read my Christmas release <i
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>Frosty Relations </i>will already know <span

<p class=MsoNormal>Recent college graduate and part-time cat familiar <span
class=SpellE>Dulcina</span> “Sweets” <span class=SpellE>Gato</span> is having
the worst New Year’s Eve in living memory. End of year expenses trigger serious
cash flow problems, and her microwave just went up in smoke. To make matters
worse, her best friend’s overprotective big brother is back in town, and his
return threatens to put a huge crimper on her nocturnal activities. The only
thing she can look forward to is Madame Eve’s 1-Night Stand service. After all,
she’s sick and tired of being a 21-year-old virgin.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Enforcement Agent Mikal Knight is a warlock on a mission.
Having finally scored a transfer to Washington, D.C., he’s now at liberty to
pursue the object of his desires—his baby sister’s best friend. But first, he
has a vigilante to track down and a mysterious matchmaking service to
investigate. Sent on an undercover operation, he resigns himself to a pointless
1-Night Stand on New Year’s Eve. As luck would have it, his mystery date’s
identity might let him kill several birds with one stone. <span

<p class=MsoNormal>His gaze drifted to her chest. A gust of wind sliced over
it, tearing off the top- most <span class=GramE>button</span>. She jumped in
her seat. “What the hell?”</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“Welcome to Strip Interrogation. The rules are simple.” Her
toes curled at the playful yet predatory gleam in his stormy eyes. <span
class=GramE>Yup</span>, he got her invitation loud and clear. “Whenever you
give me a crap answer, I take away a stitch. Any questions?”</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>She licked her lips. “Is this how Enforcement trained you to
question helpless witches?”</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>He crossed his arms and put on a mockery of a stern
expression. “[…] The gloves come off when there’s a badass in the car.”</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Her cheeks warmed at the backhanded compliment. Placing her
hands primly on her lap, she squeezed her upper arms together to better
showcase what little <span class=SpellE>boobage</span> she had. When she heard
his warning growl, she batted her eyelashes. “What’s your question, Detective?”</p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>He bared his teeth at her, but his breath had turned
shallow. […] In a quicksilver move, he lunged forward and captured her nape
with one hand. Holding her shoulder in place, he looped his free arm around her
waist, splayed his fingers against her lower back, and yanked her toward him.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"'>She’s a bad girlfriend. <br>
<br>
Nothing <span class=SpellE>Xio</span> Davis does is right. When she abandons
her pack, riding out of town on the back of a stranger’s motorcycle, she finds
she<span class=GramE>’s bitten</span> off more than she can chew. First, it’s <span
class=GramE>small-time</span> crimes, then bank robbery. As <span class=SpellE>Xio</span>
sinks into the criminal underworld, the FBI catches up with her. Now, <span
class=GramE>she’s got</span> one way out: snitch. <br>
<br>
When <span class=SpellE>Xio</span> turns state's evidence against a Mexican
drug lord, Agent Marcus <span class=SpellE>Cazador</span> steps up to take her
home, giving up his career, his place in the El Paso pack, and all he knows to
protect her. <br>
<br>
<span class=SpellE><span class=GramE>Xio</span></span><span class=GramE> claims
she’s not the same wolf who left ten years before, but can she convince Marcus
she’s changed her wicked ways?</span> <span class=GramE>Or</span> will the
Black Hills be the end of the road on her long journey to redemption?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

tummy made her loathe <span class=GramE>to eat</span> despite the hunger pangs.
Is this what the human love emotion felt like? Something about this man—the way
he spoke to her, the way he looked at her, as if she was so important, as if he
cared how she felt, stirred the strange feelings. Even her fairy friends hadn’t
connected with a spot deep inside of her. She wished she could tell him of the
turmoil in her soul, of the world she had left behind, and of how she missed
her home and her friends. Maybe he would care. Maybe he would help her and let
her leave early. He would tell her all about human love, so she didn’t have to

Liam, Patrick was a surrogate father. One he couldn’t figure out how to help.
He hated seeing the official notice in his in-box this morning. What had
started as a good day went downhill thirty seconds after he opened his e-mail.
Liam wasn’t a loan officer, but he did work with Patrick on his personal
banking accounts. For that reason, he kept his finger on the pulse of the
business accounts as well. He pulled up the old man’s personal information once
he’d read the letter. Empty. The next balance he checked could have resulted in
immediate termination. The customer <span class=GramE>wasn’t assigned</span> to
him. In his position, he had access to everyone’s information, but he wasn’t
supposed to view anything without the holder’s authorization.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Sultan would not give him the okay. Of that, Liam was sure. Even with the risk,
he entered the ten-digit number and called up the current total balance. He was
still staring at the four figures when the phone echoed through the office.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-CA">Connie
Hollingsway had just found the meat filling for her hero sandwich. As far as
she was concerned, the man met all the requirements she’d requested from Madame
Eve, and he sat in the exact location where she’d been informed he’d be. Connie
cast a quick glance toward her best friend, Nicole Sullivan, and amended her
thought to, our hero sandwich. After all, she’d planned the evening
for Nikki, as she could use the diversion. Truth be told, so could Connie.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p></p>
<span lang="EN-CA">Bass from inane
techno music reverberated off the wood-paneled walls of the Cougar Cave. The
club buzzed with excitement, pulsating with the promise of sex and the certain
knowledge that one-night stands were the main item on the snack menu.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p></p>
<span lang="EN-CA">Connie’s gaze
slid back to the hottie sitting alone in a booth directly across from them. The
guy, in a word, exuded perfection. Ascertaining his age proved difficult under
the flashing strobe lights, since he sat underneath a neon sign for Budweiser
that cast a reddish glow over his stunningly gorgeous face.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p></p>
<span lang="EN-CA">She’d asked for
a ruggedly handsome male under thirty, and the hunk seemed to fit the bill. His
milk chocolate-colored, tousled hair had an I-just-rolled-out-of-bed
appearance. Sexy. Like most young guys, he had scruffy whiskers, but her keen
eye observed the delectable cleft in his well-shaped chin. Three empty beer
bottles and a half-full glass sat in front of him, and he waved to the waiter
for more.</span></div>
<p></p>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">A sly smile
curved her mouth. She’d been told, via e-mail from Madame Eve, that the “man
under the Budweiser sign” would be game for a one-night stand with an
older woman. Drunk enough, he might even be open and willing to consider
Connie’s shocking, but sensual suggestion. Warming Nikki up to the idea might
prove a challenge though.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<p></p>
<span lang="EN-CA">Connie had been
about to speak, but the words died in her throat the moment he rose, shook off
his leather jacket, and hung it on the coatrack on the back of the bench seat.
Her mouth dropped in shock, but she quickly recovered. Taller than she’d first
imagined, he stood at least a few inches over six feet. A skin-tight black
T-shirt hugged his powerful physique. Tucked into a pair of incredibly tight
blue jeans, it showcased his torso to sculpted excellence. Denim strained
across rock-hard thighs, a muscular, ass and—her held breath whooshed out and
ended in a moan—showed off an impressive package. Man-meat was sharpened
into hardened precision, enough to rival the marble statues of Greek gods. Even
better than she could’ve hoped for.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-CA">She had to get a
closer look.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gayl Taylor spent much of her youth daydreaming and making up stories. Life in her imaginary world was full of adventure, intrigue, and romance. Temporarily distracted by real life, marriage, three kids, and the necessary paycheck, she found her way back to writing as a hobby and eventually pursued her dream of being a published author. <br /><br />Although she still has her day job, at night Gayl writes steamy, sensual romance. Her passion for music and sports feeds her imagination inspiring her to write about smoking hot rock stars, sexy athletes, and the women who bring them to their knees. She has three titles published with Breathless Press, Ride a Cock Horse, part of the Naughty Nursery Rhyme line, Lady Luck, and Tea for Three, part of the Wonderland Tales collection, and Wild Pitch a 1Night Stand published by Decadent Publishing.<br /><br />A native California girl, Gayl lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her three sons and Ozzy, their aloof but loving cat. She is a self-proclaimed coffee addict, closet rock star, die-hard baseball fan, and hopeless romantic. <br /><br />You can find Gayl at the following places:</span><br />

psycho’s mind, I wrote a sadistic rape scene in my debut novel. Then, sometimes
my knowledge is so <span class=GramE>limited,</span> I’ll need to conduct research.
When I decided to write male gay sex scenes in <i style='mso-bidi-font-style:

I love everything about it, from the grandiose Wild West backdrop, the

NO-BOK'>Lea Bronsen has always had a vivid imagination and written since an
early age. Now juggling life as a mother, full-time worker, and thriving
author, she struggles to find any reading time - but when she opens a book, she
wants it fast, hot, and edgy! Striving to give her own stories the same
intensity, she currently divides her writing time between psychological
thriller, erotic contemporary romance, and dripping erotica. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<strong>Released November 7, 2014</strong>
<P></P>
Barry Kellam receives a mysterious invitation from 1Night Stand and can’t imagine who would arrange a night of sexual passion with him…except perhaps a former student who’s gone on to greater things.
<P></P>
Paul Merrill is the toast of Broadway. While the awards and fame are nice, he wants to share his success—and his body—with the man who inspired him. But Dr. Kellam isn’t one to date fellow faculty or alumni. Will he answer Madame Eve’s call?
<P> </P>
<strong>Excerpt</strong>
<P></P>
The fleeting idea that Paul Merrill was somewhere else in Manhattan right now set a chill in his heart. Maybe some billionaire in disguise arranged this, like a super-rich parent he met at an open house who misinterpreted a handshake as a come-on. He shook away the ridiculous notion as the elevator floor vibrated. The ideas ballooned like fantastic movie plots, not unlike the one that would make Paul a household name.
<P></P>
At Room 2401, his hand trembled and it took three tries to get the green light. “Room” hardly described his quarters for the night. 1Night Stand appropriated them with a lavish suite with wide panel windows revealing Times Square in its explosive, mega-watt glory. The waving red lines of the story-high Coca-Cola ad mesmerized him, but only momentarily as he fought to keep his bearings. If his date was here, he was probably in another part of the suite.
<P></P>
The bedroom, no doubt. He swallowed back his nerves, inhaled, and stepped deeper into the living area. Large, suede sofas faced a wall-sized entertainment system. The wet bar looked better stocked than an actual restaurant. Barry’s mouth watered for a shot of vodka.
<P></P>
“Dr. Kellam!”
<P></P>
Barry’s heart jolted and his direction whipped to the left toward the approaching figure. “Paul, thank God it’s you.”

FDR High Class of 2004 graduate, Glenn Carson contacts fellow alumni to get a list of who will be attending the upcoming festivities. One call to a disgruntled former student leaves him shaken—apparently, not everyone is looking forward to the reunion. Hoping to ease his frustration, he contacts the 1Night Stand service for a relaxing and passionate encounter.
<P></P>
Known as “Mumbles” to former classmates, Rod Maloney would prefer to focus on the present and his successful business. However, past tragedies continue to haunt him, so he requests Madame Eve find him a man to show him a hot time and help him forget his troubles.
<P></P>
Will their one night together lead to a reunion after all?

<strong>I am Leigh Ellwood.</strong> I write smutty stories about people who like getting naked and having sex. Some have more sex than others, some have sex with people of the same gender, some have sex with more than one person, and still others have sex with toys and things that require the use of batteries. My stories range from a few thousand words to well past 70k.
<P></P>
I have won awards for writing, and I have received 5-star reviews. I have also received 1-star reviews and people have looked at me funny at cons and events. I enjoy reading, yoga, and rock music. I liked the 9th Doctor best. I don’t wear dresses. I won’t cut my hair or color it. I will not limit myself to one genre when it comes to writing. I write contemporary, paranormal, gay, lesbian, menage, geek, short, long, purposely funny and hilariously sad. If I never win a major award or make a list, I will live content in the fact that I have written something, and that’s the dream.
