Wonderful Wednesday Wackiness


My life has a lot of drama. Say it isn’t so? No, true. It is bound to be punctuated with bouts of drama. We have one, mature adult college student (will be two when my partner starts on line classes in January). Also Three young adult college students and a high school student. So, All six of us in school. Plus an aging mother in assisted living.

My resources were running rather thin. So, I went job hunting again. Or should I say job hunting “still”. The result, Daughter, step daughter and I all all going to work for Amazon doing various warehouse work tasks. The pay is good. So, I can’t complain. Looks like I will be taking three on-line classes next semester to compensate.

AND I WILL CONTINUE TO WRITE. Somehow! Writing is breathing. I can not give up. I will not give in. LOL Besides I have an exciting WIP my editor asked me for.

Stay posted for more of the continuing saga of ??? As the mountain crumbles? Good night John Boy

My Weekend Dirty Dozen. Find other Weekend Dirty Dozen authors on the blog.

This is draft from my next release “Raynia’s Magic” which will be part of the Valentine’s anthology from Rebel Ink Press “Tempting Cupid”

blurb:

Raynia Castellano is drawn to purchase an amethyst pendant on an impulse buy. The clerk assures her the magic is in the woman, not the necklace that seems to call to her. She’s left an adulterous (now) x-husband and settled into law practice with her oh so sexy and oh so apparently gay law partners Chase Thompson and Peter Thornton.

Her bisexual law partners come out of the closet and surprise her, celebrating the anniversary of her joining the practice with the seduction of her life.

(Thank you Fine Art America)

Weekend Dirty Dozen

“It feels good,” slipped out on a sigh.

Her fingers slid along the purple slice of quartz, cut to reveal the flame of the gemstone and polished to a smooth cool sheen.

The bauble hung from a brass rope chain. A petite metal feather and a gemstone bead nestled next to the oval stone, caressing it like lovers, three lovers.

Raynia wasn’t sure if she and the clerk were talking about the stone at all.
“A beautiful woman such as you may find happiness being receptive to the pleasures life has to offer.”

She let his comment pass. She hadn’t thought of herself as beautiful in a very long time. A slow smile, so much like Peter’s devilish grin, framed his perfect teeth. She blinked to clear her eyes. Peter’s smile, Chase’s hair color, the memories shot a tingle of sensation straight to her core.

If the clerk only knew, her frustration at resisting the pleasures her two very sexy law partners might provide.

Weekend Dirty Dozen

It’s Weekend Dirty Dozen Time Visit out other Weekend Dirty Dozen Writers. Weekend Dirty Dozen with “The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp” a story in “Once Upon A Twisted Tale” Anthology from Rebel Ink Press.

Ike is faced with a choice. Will he continue to live a lie? or Choose Nathaniel. We are in Ike’s POV

“His whole life he resisted his lust to embrace the love of a man and was in the process of seeking marriage to legitimatize himself for security and as a blind to hide his true nature. The imagined sounds and feelings of Nathaniel’s thrusts so powerful his balls would slap against Ike’s ass made him shiver. Did he have the strength to reach for the life he really wanted and flaunt it in the face of conventional society?
“What shall it be, Ike?” Nathaniel ran one finger down Ike’s cheek, drawing his gaze.
Ike pulled from his musing and looked up at Nathaniel. The man was lean muscle, bronzed from the sun. His flat, supple abs supported broad shoulders strung with defined, long hewn muscles. His cock teased and flexed, brushing his abdomen in a persuasive offering. Adonis. He was a God. Ike knew exactly how to worship him.”

Fantasy Man Monday

Happy Halloween ya’ll.

Samhain! ohhh, puts me in mind of all kinds of luscious hero types.

What would you like for Halloween?

Sexy Soldier?

A fireman, perhaps?

Cowboys are always popular.

I personally always wanted to be on the side of the Indians.

Halloween – Religious Holiday – Halloween Blog Hop.

The Blog Hop Continues. Check out all the authors involved over at Drea’s Page. Many are running fantastic contests. I’m giving away an E-ARC of “Once Upon A Twisted Tale”

On the Subject of Halloween. To 9/10ths of the population Halloween is a fun freaky holiday to scare themselves with horror movies, dress up in costume, go bar hopping or take the kiddies around to neighbors houses begging goodies.

Is that all there is to Halloween?

The real celebration is Samhain. A Celtic celebration of harvest. Commemoration of the end of the “light” side of the year and beginning of the “Dark” side of the year. Festival of the Dead. A time to remember those who’ve passed on to the other side. Samhain is a time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. Contact with those who’ve passed from this life is most possible.

Have you ever had contact from someone who is on the other side of the veil?

Within the Wiccan religion the Aged Horned God reaches the end of his life and the Goddess is in the form of an elder crone. The cycle of seasons is drawing to a close. It is a time for ritual and celebration.

Alter gifts of fruits and vegetables is appropriate as it recognizes the harvest. The Apple is particularly appropriate in it’s symbolism of the cycle of life. The apple is picked from the tree or falls to rot on the ground. The flesh and seeds (life) are released back to the earth. Ultimately to be born again as the seeds sprout to grow a new tree. It is a symbolic representation of the eternity; life, death, and resurrection to new life.

I wonder how Wiccan and other Pagans feel about the traditions that have arisen around Halloween. Do they feel is is a desecration of a Holy Day?

Halloween Blog Hop Continues

Drea had a great idea for a Halloween Blog Hop Visit her Events page for a list of the authors involved. Many of them have contests.

There are 110 authors participating. I am giving away an E-ARC of “Once Upon A Twisted Tale” Anthology by Rebel Ink Press which contains my story “The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp”

Make a Comment and be sure to leave me your email so I can get in touch with you. The winner will be chosen after the 31st.

With Halloween coming I wanted to post about horror movies or something trendy. But seriously, I can’t watch horror movies. They scare the bejeasus out of me.

I still have nightmares about the Exorcist which I saw in theaters. R.M. Kinore had me watch Night of the Living Dead the other day and I really got freaked out. I HATED the ending. Without spoiling it for you if you haven’t seen it. Okay it was a like 1968 black and white movie. However, it DID NOT have a happy ending

Last night we watched Paranormal Activities. That creaped me out big time. I don’t think I slept all night long.

So what is your favorite scary movie?

Or what costume do you love to dress as for Halloween?

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

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.”

“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.
