Sorry no pic
Blogger isn’t allowing me to upload a pic right now and I’m heading to bed…so the new eye candy will have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry.Good news though…I wrote 2k today on NGH..bringing it to 42k. So I’m still rolling along on that. Yay!
Hope everyone has a great night.
40K…woo-hoo!
I made it to 40k tonight. I haven’t added any of the plot points in yet that I’ve been planning on. So I might hit my goal of 55k for the entire book. 🙂 Thank goodness. Don’t want people to be disappointed that this one is so much shorter than HBD.
Here’s some new eye candy, ladies. Hopefully he won’t burn…but at least he won’t have tan lines…lol 😉
No internet…Yikes!
Our internet was down at work…omg..I went through withdrawals…lol. My boss was happy. I actually got some work done today.
Of course, I did a little more writing on NGH. I’m at 35k. 🙂 By the end of the week, I’ll see where I’m at and if I’ve gotten all three of the next plot developments in. If I do, then what ever wc I’m at will be how long the story is. lol
Thought I’d send you a picor two to make up for me being out of the loop today.
The shower is for Mistress Anna. 🙂
Enjoy everyone…hopefully my connection to the world will be working again tomorrow.
Fireman for Jenna..
and a man with a hairy chest for Mistress Anna. 🙂 Enjoy ladies.
I have a few others I’ll be posting during the day.
those of you stopping by might want to head over to Jenna’s blog where she’s having an all day party celebrating her birthday. 🙂 There are prizes to win.
Blurb for No Going Home
No Going Home (c)2006 T.A.Chase
Randy Hersch is a rodeo cowboy who has run away from home and a father who hates him. Randy has always denied the attraction he feels towards other men because of his father’s narrow-minded view of the world. When he’s injured by a rouge bronc, he decides to come home and visit his sister. Until he meets Leslie Marshall Hardin III and he knows that destiny has another idea for him.
For eight years, Les had been on top of the equestrian world. He and his partner were the golden boys of the show jumping community. Then at a show in Florida, all that came crashing down with a hoof to the head and Les found himself having to rebuild his life without the man he’d loved there to support him.
From the moment Les meets Randy, he knows he’s in trouble. The young cowboy is battered and bruised, but his lean body and shy grin attracts Les like a dog to a bone. It’s been five years since Les has been interested in anything other than surviving. Now Les’s heart is telling him it’s time to forget the man who abandoned him and open up to a cowboy looking for a gentle hand.
Good news-sort of
lol…I meant to post this earlier, but totally forgot. I got a tentative release date for Here Be Dragons and it’s very general as well…lol It’ll be out in the fall from Loose-Id…think early Fall though. 😉 When I have an exact date, I’ll let everyone know.Read the post below this for the real post of the day.
Theme Songs
do you pick out theme songs for your books? Like a soundtrack to a movie, do certain songs play through your mind while you write?
I always listen to music while I write. Plug in my Ipod mini and hit shuffle…an eclectic collection of songs play while I immerse myself in the world I’ve created for my characters, but I always find one song that comes to symbolize the story I’m working on.
For Here Be Dragons, it was Blackmore’s Night’s “The Storm” and Nickleback’s “Just For”.
“Welcome to the dragons lair/Fingers running through your hair/She asks you out to play…”-Blackmore’s Night
“And I want to make him/Take back all that he took from you/Yes I do/And I want to rip his heart out/Just for hurting you”-Nickleback
For No Going Home, I’ve picked Rob Thomas’s “Lonely No More” and Chris LeDoux’s “Soft Place To Fall”
“I could feel you there beside me/taste your tender lips on mine/You know there’ll always be another bronc/but true love is hard to find…..I still love the rodeo but with you I can have it all/Cause last night I found a soft place to fall.”- Chris LeDoux.
“What if I was good to you?/What if you were good to me?/What if I could hold you till I feel you move inside of me?”– Rob Thomas
NGH is about a twenty-five year old bareback bronc rider and the man he meets who teaches him not to be afraid of who he really is. 🙂
Man with Glasses
Here’s a pic of a man in glasses for you, Kate. Not great, but I’ll tell you what. I think men who wear glasses must be shy…I had a hard time finding this one…unless you want some guys in sunglasses. 🙂
Words Galore
Last night after I doubled my word count for NO GOING HOME, I sat down and organized all the scraps of paper I have where I’ve written scenes and descriptions for my lycan/vampyre books. Since they were all handwritten, I had to type them in. 6500 words later…I called it a night…after begging Paige to read it to help me figure out a title for Book One. She’s gracious enough to be willing to read the very rough draft I have…lol
You’ve seen the three cowboy muses that showed up. Well, this guy arrived with them..drinking his wine from a bottle and wearing leather. He’s a bad boy with a bad attitude. He’s also the only one who’s going to stick around for a while since he’ll be making appearances in all four books of the series I have planned.
His name is Lyva and he’s half-vampyre/half-lycan.
*Why when looking at this picture does the song “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off” run through my head…though I guess it should be “Wine Makes His Clothes Fall Off”*
In Honor
In honor of the 4009 words I wrote today on NO GOING HOME and being able to eat the last ice cream sandwich in the freezer (instead of finding out they have all mysteriously disappeared), I give you my other inspirations for NGH and my heroes. Enjoy. I’m off to figure out how much I actually have written down for my lycan/vampyre story. 🙂
