Friday Snippet: Vicki & Elias

Mar 5, 2010 9:20pm

This has to be the last snippet, gang, sorry. To make it up to you, it’s a juicy one. Sorry it’s late. This whole week has gotten away from me. I didn’t get anywhere near the word count I wanted, and our weekend is packed. Sigh. Hopefully next week will...

Good News for Victor!

Mar 5, 2010 7:04pm

I just signed the contract for Victor (Hurt Me So Good) to go to Samhain! I’m so happy and relieved. Of course I love Victor and those of you who’ve helped me with beta reads were all very positive, but I was still nervous since I have a new editor this time...

Vicki Catches Jesse Peeping

Mar 3, 2010 7:33pm

I’ve slowed down on the snippets because the writing has slowed down too. I finally finished the big sex scene, and then totally lost momentum. Maybe I just needed a breather! I’m still tapping away on the next chapter but it’s not going as well as I’d like. I’m hoping...

D&R Reviews Survive My Fire

Mar 2, 2010 7:03pm

I’ve known Tia online for years but never queried her to review any of my work for two reasons: she doesn’t do e-books and she doesn’t typically review sexier books. However, she picked up a copy of Survive My Fire while Drollerie Press was running a free download, and gave it...

Vicki: Elias Comes Home

Mar 2, 2010 4:00am

This is a little heavy on backstory and introspection, which might be cut in revision, but I need to make sure Elias is more than an asshole. At least sometimes. Elias slipped his seldom-used key into her locked door and eased it open. Why so stealthily, he hated to...

Vicki and Jesse’s Agreement

Mar 1, 2010 4:00am

I wouldn’t want to start you off this Monday without a nice steamy visit with Vicki. The actual “deed” implied in this snippet took me days to finish. Finally wrapped it up tonight. *whew, I’m exhausted!!* Next scene to write: Vicki stops by VCONN for a little talk with Victor! Warning: sexual...

Drollerie Chat tonight

Feb 28, 2010 9:34am

I hope you can stop by Drollerie Press tonight at 9 PM EST for a chat! We’ll be celebrating new releases and talking about the Brenda Novak auction. The forum link will go up shortly before the chat time (no password is required – just enter a chat name)....

Friday Snippet: Vicki & Elias

Feb 26, 2010 4:00am

This snippet comes from Chapter Four, where Vicki has a heart-to-heart with Elias. She’s scared, confused, and they’re just trying to figure out what’s going to happen to their relationship now that Jesse is intruding. Background: the first night, she made Elias sleep on the couch and Jesse slept downstairs. Her phone...

Vicki’s Colors

Feb 25, 2010 4:30am

This snippet is from Chapter 3. As you’ll learn in Victor’s book, Vicki is trying to establish her own fashion line. She’s working hard to launch her line next month, but she’s not happy with her pieces so far. Something’s missing, but she can’t put her finger on it. Until Jesse...

Vicki’s Vow

Feb 24, 2010 4:30am

I said I wasn’t going to post any more, but I still don’t have blog fodder. My mind is consumed by Evil Day Job fun and Vicki. So I guess you get a little more Vicki. This scene takes place in Chapter 2 (I didn’t paste all of this section). ...
