Wonderful Wednesday
So I’m still walking on air about the contract. When Paige let me know that LSB was opening their doors for m/m submissions, I figured what the heck. I think having at
least two different publishers is a good idea. A chance for more of your books to come out through out the year. 😉 Great for me and for the readers, imo. I don’t have any plans at the moment to try and get published any where else. Maybe later on when I learn a little more about this writing business.Had to work late last night, so didn’t get any writing done. 🙁 Oh well…those days happen, I guess.
Have a nice day, everyone.

Great News!
Sorry this post is so late. My day job was hectic and I just got home. Ugh! I hate days like this. But I’m smiling like a goof right now. For in my in box was an email from Raven at Liquid Silver. She offered me a contract for No Going Home. She loved it and wants it for LSB’s new Molten Silver line. So being the intelligent person I am, I immediately signed it and sent it back. 🙂
Wow…two books done, two contracts. The gods are smiling on me right now. Enjoy the cowboy. I’m off to celebrate.
Have a great night, everyone.

Manic Monday
Back to the grind. 🙁 Oh well..this job pays for my addictions which aren’t many and helps me do what I love to do..create stories and characters for people to fall in love with. (at least when they get to meet them, I hope they fall in love with them.)
this man has eyes like I imagine Chance from Lyva’s Chance to have. Beautiful blue…very striking. Yum.
I did a little writing yesterday..not a bunch. Just 202 words, but that’s all right. I’m beginning to feel the story more, so I’m hoping the words will start flowing.
Have a great Monday, everyone.

Happy Easter
Happy Easter everyone. Hope your day is full of laughter and family. 🙂 Here’s some flowers for you.

Pool anyone?
It’s a good Friday. Got the day off. Looks like the sun’s going to shine instead of raining all day. I can do some writing, hopefully. 🙂
Been working on a blurb for Lyva’s Chance, but haven’t come up with anything good yet…lol. Blurbs are almost as evil as synopsis. 🙂 Hard to distill a story that might be over 65k when I’m done to 300 words.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Thankful For Thursday
Well I do have a pic to share with y’all, but blogger is giving me a problem uploading it. So I’ll be posting that later.I’m thrilled that today is Thursday. I’m off tomorrow and have a long weekend ahead. Yay! But unfortunately it’s busy for me today. So this is a short little post to let everyone know..there will be eye candy at some point today. 🙂
Have a great day.

Wednesday’s Wolf
So no eye candy today, but I thought since I was writing a werewolf story at the moment..I’d put up a pic of one of the most beautiful creatures on earth. 🙂 Plus being an apex pedator.
Lyva and Chance showed up for a while last night. They didn’t tell me where they went or where they were heading next, but I did have a good writing session until they left again. lol. 4k done last night. Taking me to 10, 929 for the entire ms. Again, I’m not sure how long the story will end up being..so I’m not concerned about the w.c. yet.
In honor of Paige’s post with a quote by Richard Bach, I’ve posted one of my favorites from him. Have a great day, everyone.

Lyva’s Chance excerpt
I thought I’d give everyone a sneak peek at Lyva’s Chance, the first book in the Blood of Eden series. This is uncontracted and unedited. (Also very unfinished…lol)
Lyva’s Chance (c) 2006 T.A. Chase
Flipping on to my back, I pulled him on top of me. I saw the question in his eyes. As the Alpha, I should have had him on his stomach and been buried deep in his ass by now. Domination was important in the lycan world. Alphas proved their strength and power by forcing the weak into submission. It wasn’t the way I worked, no matter what the wolf wanted.
I cradled Chance’s face in my hands and said, “Your injuries are healing. I don’t want to aggravate them by putting my weight on you. I know my place in the world, Chance. As long as we are together and you accept me as the leader, I’ll never use my strength to harm you. Every step will be a choice for each of us.”
“No one ever let me chose,” he whispered, eyes welling with tears.
“It’s a new a life and a new world for you. Take advantage of it.” I knew Chance would find out soon enough that the choice had already been made for him.
He chose to kiss me. The shy brush of his lips over mine shot desire through me. Growling, I entwined my fingers in his hair and took his mouth. Chance opened without protest. Tongues dueled and teeth bit.His hips began to rock against mine. I hadn’t given him any clothes. Letting go of his head with one hand, I ran my fingers over warm skin and bumpy vertebrae. A little caress at the base of his spine caused him to gasp and moan.

Enjoy and have a great day, everyone.

Remove the Towel
My mind has gone blank. My vampyres, lycans and other supernatural creatures have fallen silent. The first couple headed to Glastonbury Abbey in England and I haven’t heard peep out of them since then. They must be enjoying the English countryside. 😉
so I thought I’d visit New Orleans where some other characters are fooling around. Zach, a pararescue jumper for the Air Force and Lucian, an agoraphobic ex-street hustler, had been making some noise in the back of my mind. When I got there, nothing. They must have headed out on vacation.
Oh well…I can look back on some of my older posts and know that this emptiness won’t last long. One of those characters will get tired of hiding and come inspire me. lol
Until then, I’ll just stare at the eye candy today and wish he didn’t have quite so tight a grip on the towel.
Have a great day.

Lazy Sunday
Hey everyone…first time today I got on the computer. It’s been a very lazy Sunday for me. Watched The Masters. Congrats to Phil Mickelson. 🙂Yesterday was another lazy day. Just enjoyed the nice sunny weather and didn’t get any writing done actually. Oh well. I don’t have any deadlines except for ones I set for myself. So I can take time off…lol
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
