Short Post
Hey everyone, I’m going to busy most of the day..though I hope to get a real post up at some point. Think gummi bears…lol. Until then, I’d like to let everyone know that the Liquid Silver authors will be chatting all day at The Pink Posse. There will be a big list of ladies chatting. I might even drop by later on in the day. They’ll be talking about their heros with pictures and excerpts posted at SEx. Stop by and chat for a while.I’ll be back later on today..hopefully.
Have a great day.
Reincarnation
Have you ever thought you might have lived before? Has there ever been a time when you stood somew
here and thought to yourself that you’d been there before. Even though you know you’ve never been.Is it possible that your best friend is someone you’ve known in a previous life and that’s why you get along so well in this one.
What about the instanteous connection you feel with a person in a crowd place-bar, subway or airport? In the moment your eyes meet, it’s like you know every secret he holds in his heart. Could that man have been someone you knew better some other century?
In many cultures, the butterfly represents re-birth or reincarnation.
I’m not sure I want to have to keep coming back to earth, trying to learn a lesson that I haven’t been told about. Yet the romantic part of me believes it’s possible for us to come back-to right wrongs we’ve caused others or get a second chance at love. The cynical side says it all implanted in our DNA. Primative memories hidden deep in our psyche, released during times of stress or heightened awareness.
Which are you-a romantic or a cynic?
Have a great day.

The Ball- Part One
Here is the first part of a story I started writing.
The Ball (c) 2006 T.A. Chase
Part One:
I stand in the shadows of the ballroom. Beautiful men and women whirl by me but I only see them as flashes of color on the edge of my vision. Like a moth drawn to a flame, my eyes focus on him. My cheeks flush and I feel myself stiffen. I step farther back into the dark, hiding from the society I was born a part of.
Flashing a smile, he brushes a kiss over the knuckles of a simpering lady. His golden hair glistens under the candlelight and my fingers itch to run through his curls. Shame burns through me. I understand that my longings aren’t normal. If anyone knew about them, I’d be scorned.
No one understands how my soul cries out for hard lips kissing me and strong arms holding me tight. Women leave me cold. I appreciate their beauty, but have no urge to lie with them. They are too soft. I fear hurting them in my passion.
He turns and for a moment our eyes meet. I know he can’t really see me because of the shadows I hide in, but all the same it feels like his brilliant blue gaze burns deep into my soul and uncovers all my secret longings.
Embarrassment and pain tear through me. The room closes in around me and I can’t breath. I need to get away. I need to run. Leaving my shelter, I stumble towards the doors leading to the garden. Maybe I could lose myself amongst the night, forget the way my body burns for him. Forget for a second what kind of freak I am.
Tears fill my eyes and blind me to the obstacles in my way. I bump into couples strolling along the edge of the dance floor. In an awkward stammer, I beg their pardon, reaching the doors at last. Sliding out into the darkness, I rush to the gazebo at the far end of the garden. It is falling apart, crumbling from neglect and indifference. It suits my mood.
I know what the people in the house are whispering about me. “Face of an angel and the brains of a goose.” “Poor Lord Williamson. His heir is worthless.” There’ll be the ones who’ll try to be gracious. “He’s just shy. Give him a little more time. He’s only been up from the country for a month or so.”
I groan. I am worthless. People scare me and I don’t want to infect them with the disease I deal with every second of my life. Burying my face in my hands, I flinch. The scars on my back cause me pain even though they aren’t fresh. I still remember the feel of the whip across my shoulders as my father screamed at me about my perversion.
Warm skin envelopes my hands and gently tugs them away from my face. I glance up. Before I can protest or say anything, his lips meet mine and I fall.
Look what I found…
Just lying around in the grass under a tree? 🙂Wow..the past two days were really horrendously busy at work. I was never so glad to see the weekend arrive. It’s been movie weekend around here. I went and saw Ice Age 2 and The Wild so far. Both were really good, but Eddie Izzard steals the show as Nigel the Koala in The Wild. Of course, I adore Eddie.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

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.
