Weekend Dirty Dozen – X Rated – M/M Historical Romance

Posted on October 28, 2011 | 4 comments

This week’s selection for the Weekend Dirty Dozen’s second week is chosen from “The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp” A novellette M/M erotic romance story that published in “Once Upon A Twisted Tale” Rebel Ink Press, released October 17, 2011

I am participating in The Weekend Dirty Dozen, follow that hot link to see other authors participating. Check out the Weekend Dirty Dozen FaceBook Page at this link.

Setup: Nathaniel Hawkins takes the unconscious Ike Sandhill back to his estate to help him recover from being knocked from his galloping horse. Ike wakes while Nathaniel is bathing him and has an unexpected erotic response to Nathaniel’s attention.

12 line excerpt:

“Master Hawkins. Please forgive me. I’m not quite thinking clearly. I must have fallen from my horse.”

What would the gentleman think of Ike’s hard on, so inappropriate given the circumstances?

The hand stopped moving and Ike thought he might have felt it quiver. He started grasping at the sheets searching vainly for his clothes.

Ike babbled to ease his bewildered mind, fearing he might say something to regret once he found his senses. A confession of a ghoulish specter that’d chased him seemed somewhat unbelievable.

“I am quite sorry to have been a bother.”

Nathaniel’s hand closed around the base of Ike’s shaft in a firm determined grip and Ike’s response was instinctual. Groaning, he arched ever so slightly, thrusting with a hiss of need into the grip.

“The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp”

Blurb:

“The Galloping Ghoul rides each full moon, exacting revenge by frightening those who tormented his past. By day, he is one of the town people, Nathaniel Hawkins, an affluent entrepreneur. He identifies with Ike Sandhill, a government surveyor, and wants to protect him from the same thugs who drove Nathaniel to revenge. Ike goes to the extreme to prove to everyone how straight laced he is. He pursues Misty VonMix with the intention of marriage. Nathaniel doesn’t know how to confess his desire without driving Ike away. He comes up with a plan of seduction. Before the night is over Ike discovers things about himself he always knew, yet denied.”

Experience a tantalizing set of stories where fairy tales take on an unexpected twist and journey to a place where real love isn’t defined in terms of a cookie cutter princess. After all, happily-ever-after isn’t the staple of a charmed life…”

Paw Prints – Rebel Relay

Posted on October 25, 2011 | 2 comments

The newest fun project from Rebel Ink Press. A bunch of the Rebel Gang of signed authors have jumped on board to be part of the Rebel Relay. The way it works is we ALL work together on a story line in tag team relay style. The story goes around twice with each author adding 500 words to the existing manuscript. Our magical editor will have final editorial bippity, boppity, boo and “Paw Prints” will be released. You can expect it to be fantastic. Rebel Ink has a line up of amazing talent.

Burb:
“What happens when twenty five writers get together with a story idea geared toward helping better one small corner of the world? Meet Kylie Wright and Buster and find out this December in Paw Prints, a brand new story created by Rebel Writers for a Cause with all proceeds going to the National Humane Society.”

I have always loved animals. My undergraduate degree is actually in Equestrian Education with a full second major in Psychology. Tell me about one animal that you will never forget.

Mine is our family dog Sunny. She was loaned to us. (Cause you don’t give away someone you love.) by a family we knew with the stipulation that if our situation ever changed, we would give her back. Sunny was a yellow lab. She knew how to do amazing things. You name any dog trick and she could probably do it. Cheese on nose, yep. Fetch…why heck she could play baseball in the outfield. She was an animal our whole family and the family who gave her to us, loved every moment of her life.

She went on TV with me to teach children Dog Safety. She went with me to schools to teach programs on a variety of subjects. One even on nutrition and why it is important to eat right. She earned her canine good citizen standing. She could do obedience, agility, showmanship in the world of dog showing.

I saw her a little sore, off stride one day…I thought well, she’s 12 years old. She’d played hard all her life. Maybe she has a touch of arthritis. Then, I saw her shoulder swollen. I took her to the vet and received the news. She had a large tumor inside her shoulder joint. My children were out of town. They came home to spend Sunny’s last couple of days loving her and then we ended her suffering. We buried her out at the farm. She made our lives better and I will always miss her. She goes on record as the most wonderful dog I’ve ever known.

Tell me your favorite pet story.

Fantasy Man Monday

Posted on October 24, 2011 | 2 comments

Today’s Fantasy Man fodder search (Say that three times fast) took me searching for sexy men and their pets. On initial query I found pictures of bad dudes with scorpions. That really wasn’t the tone I was looking for today. However, I dug deeper and found these pictures that perhaps will make you say “Awww, Oooo!”

What is it about men and dogs? Guys take a note, instant conversation starter with girls. Cute dog goes along way as a character reference.

I passed a guy with his boxer dog on an outing at the farmers market, last week. The dog was a model of obedience. As a former animal trainer that spoke volumes to me about the kind of man I would find on the other end of the leash.

This guy might not have made Fantasy Man Monday on his own assets. But in this photo he is just the kind of guy you want to hug and squeeze. Isn’t he? I can see he would be fun and great to share some laughs with. Another big plus in the selection department. Fantasy Men come in all shapes and sizes. My Fantasy Man may or may not make your top ten list. My Fantasy Man tastes change in an array of qualities, not unlike a kaleidoscope. Mood, timing, thoughts and phases of the moon may alter what I find sexy and attractive. Today it was men with dogs that are self disciplined, fun and not hard at all to look at!

Sometimes, the Fantasy Man will surprise you.

Happy Monday everyone.

Weekend Dirty Dozen – Week 1 – PG-13 Rated Language

Posted on October 21, 2011 | 10 comments

This week’s selection for the Weekend Dirty Dozen’s inaugural week is chosen from “The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp” A novellette M/M erotic romance story that published in “Once Upon A Twisted Tale” Rebel Ink Press, released October 17, 2011

Setup: Ike Sandhill’s horse bolted in terror. Nathaniel Hawkins in trying to save him, knocked Ike from his horse and fears he’s nearly killed him with his rescue effort.
12 line excerpt:

“Hell’s bells, what a goat fuck. Augustus stood patiently while Nathaniel hoisted Ike’s lanky frame up into the saddle and mounted behind to support his unconscious burden. The flight brought them to the borders of Nathaniel’s estate.

“Time to go home, Augustus.”

Nathaniel’s pulse pounded at the proximity of Ike in the saddle, his head resting on Nathaniel’s shoulder. How badly he wanted to brush the wayward lock of golden hair back from the man’s brow. No more hiding. Before the night was over, Nathaniel would be sure Ike Sandhill knew his full intentions. He couldn’t go on in this limbo half-life watching from afar. By dawn, they’d both be changed men. He prayed he could convince Ike to take what he had to offer, to take a chance, to take something, anything from him.
****
Ike roused with awareness that he was the center of some commotion.”

“The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp”

Fantasy Man Monday

Posted on October 17, 2011 | 18 comments

I keep my family business pretty private from my writing life. I try not to even name my family members out of respect for their privacy. I can’t always resist.  My first grand child was born on September 3rd, 2011.  I’m not admitting how old I am. LOL.  Lets just say I am a very young grandmother. We have already decided that I shall be knowing as G.G.  Nanna, granny, grandma, grandmother, nothing worked.  G.G. just seemed to fit.  My oldest daughter, his mama, said “of course, G.G. stands for Gorgeous Grandma.  I can live with that.

My grand son is quite a fighter.  He had a rocky start in this world and spent his first week in Neonatal I.C.U.(Life is Fragile Blog)  His daddy is a Marine deployed to Afganistan.  Baby and Momi are both well and home.  My handsome grandbaby is now over a month old.  I have 312 pictures on my I phone I would love to show you. LoL. 

I did a post awhile back about my Son In Law for one of my Fantasy Monday blogs (My SIL The Romance Hero). I could spend pages telling you about all the loving thoughtful things he does for my daughter. He takes care of her, loves her and makes her feel precious every day of their marriage, yet accepts that she is a strong and capable woman.  As you live a few years on this earth you begin to think that there aren’t any good men left. He is a good man.

However, not only is he a good man….my Son In Law is a real romance hero. He deserves another Fantasy Man Monday guest spot. 

Of Course, I never doubted it.  He has been on his second deployment to Afganistan and was not able to be with my daughter for the pregnancy and birth of their son.  He is a Marine, he has to go when they say go.  My daughter took it well, saying she would rather he miss the pregnacy so he could be home for their child’s first’s.  The two of them missed their first Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthday’s, Anniversary during his first deployment. So, it was important to her for him to be home to see their baby’s first milestones.

My SIL is well respected amongst his peers and supervisors.  They all knew what had happened with the babies birth took a complicated turn. My SIL was able to be on the phone via skype to hear the baby being born.  Then in the days that followed, the redcross got word to SIL about the serious nature of the babies difficulties.  My SIL was not due to come home until the end of October, first part of November. He resisted leaving his men in the field.  My daughter assured him everything was undercontrol and he needed to continue to serve where he was needed.

Three days ago, my daughter got a bouquet of roses with a card that said “I”.

Two days ago, another bouquet with a card saying “Love”.

This morning her girlfriend took her and the baby out to the Cracker Barrell for breakfast.  A bouquet of red roses arrived at the table with a card printed “YOU”.

Moments later my SIL snuck up behind my daughter, wrapped his big old arms around her in a hug.

All the stress of months of being pregnant without her husband around, being brave when she was worried sick for him and didn’t want to worry him…… all the happiness and sadness all rolled together spilled down her cheeks in tears of happiness. 

There may have been a few tears at surrounding tables. I’m sure there were several cheers and hands shook as strangers, wrapped into the new little families joy for a brief moment.

So, “Daddy” Welcome home. Sometimes when you surprise people you end up having to put up your own “Welcome Home” Banner

Time to buckle in for the tough years ahead. You thought WAR was HELL

So, When we gonna be talking about a girl chil grand baby?

I (heart) You! Awwww

Once Upon A Twisted Tale – Release Day

Posted on October 17, 2011 | Comments Off on Once Upon A Twisted Tale – Release Day

Release Day for Once Upon A Twisted Tale.

“Once Upon A Twisted Tale”
Escape to a world of make believe where all your grown up fantasies can now be realized. Where Neverland means never denying yourself the most intimate, wicked treats and where what you wear to the ball isn’t nearly as important as what you don’t. Experience a tantalizing set of stories where fairy tales take on an unexpected twist and journey to a place where real love isn’t defined in terms of a cookie cutter princess. After all, happily-ever-after isn’t the staple of a charmed life…

The editor at Rebel Ink Press put out the call for authors to participate in the anthology due to come out October 17, 2011, with a theme of twisted fairy tales. I thought ah, just in time for Halloween! I have to get involved. After a little bit of research Nathaniel and Ike found me and told me their story.

“The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp” M/M Erotic Historic Romance
The Galloping Ghoul rides each full moon, exacting revenge by frightening those who tormented his past. By day, he is one of the town people, Nathaniel Hawkins, an affluent entrepreneur. He identifies with Ike Sandhill, a government surveyor, and wants to protect him from the same thugs who drove Nathaniel to revenge. Ike goes to the extreme to prove to everyone how straight laced he is. He pursues Misty VonMix with the intention of marriage. Nathaniel doesn’t know how to confess his desire without driving Ike away. He comes up with a plan of seduction. Before the night is over Ike discovers things about himself he always knew, yet denied.

“Massachusetts, 1790
Somewhere in the Bridgewater Triangle, old wives tell tales in hushed tones about strange lights in the sky and the Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp. They say the specter rides on the night of the full moon. They don’t know what drives him to haunt unsuspecting travelers. Those who’ve crossed his path flee in fear for their lives. If the victims know why he rides, they never say.”….

***
…Hell’s bells, what a goat fuck. Augustus stood patiently while Nathaniel hoisted Ike’s lanky frame up into the saddle and mounted behind to support his unconscious burden. The flight brought them to the borders of Nathaniel’s estate.
“Time to go home, Augustus.”
Nathaniel’s pulse pounded at the proximity of Ike in the saddle, his head resting on Nathaniel’s shoulder. How badly he wanted to brush the wayward lock of golden hair back from the man’s brow. No more hiding. Before the night was over, Nathaniel would be sure Ike Sandhill knew his full intentions. He couldn’t go on in this limbo half-life watching from afar. By dawn, they’d both be changed men. He prayed he could convince Ike to take what he had to offer, to take a chance, to take something, anything from him.

Once Upon a Twisted Tale will be released at several online e-book sellers including Amazon Kindle, All Romance E Books, Barnes & Noble Nook and Bookstrand.

Cracked Me UP

Posted on October 7, 2011 | 5 comments

I ordered t-shirts for give away’s to help promote myself as author. I took great pains in designing these shirts. They are awesome.

The front has a square with purple and red flowers down the side. There is a skull and some dragon flies. It is a nice graphic. The print was supposed to say Eden Glenn, Author, Erotic Paranormal Romance.

Then on the back there were the same purple flowers and red flowers. No skull but a couple of dragon flies. Then the print was supposed to say my blog address http://www.edenglenn.wordpress.com. Then “Leave Your Safe World Behind”.

I was following the thought of marketing myself as a brand. Not one specific book.

When they arrived I was excited to open them. Whoop Whoop. Imagine my expression when I read…instead of Eden Glenn, Author, Erotic Paranormal Romance I saw

Black Dog’s Deadliest Snatch

Whaaaa???? Now while that might be an awesome title for an erotic ? suspense? IDK. It is not now the title of any of my books nor is it expected to be in the near future. Seriously?
Seriously? Black Dog’s Deadliest Snatch.

The back of the t-shirt was correct.

Then I started to giggle. Somewhere, someone was opening a box just like I had with perhaps, great anticipation, expecting to read “Black Dog’s Deadliest Snatch” only to read….Eden Glenn, Author, Erotic Paranormal Romance on the front of their ordered shirts and their tag line on the back.

Yes, it is all true. Leave Your Safe World Behind.
