Hey everyone!

Yesterdays Winner of a signed copy of Sex In The Office is Ellen Bunch! Ellen, you have a week to email me your snail mail address to clainm your prize!

Saturday is the final day of out Blog Party here and todays guest is nwe Kensingotn Author Celia Stuart. Also an LSB author and a partner in crime in things we won’t deiscuss. .

If you’ve been by my blog this week, then you know the mayhem that ensued when I asked some writer friends for new titles for my first Aphrodisia release–the book formerly known as Blue Collar Chicks. :)

When all was said and done, we did come up with some pretty good ones–none that inlcuded the words Crack or Spackle in any form but something sexy enough to please my editor (I hope).

So what’s in a name? One of my critique partners recently named a visiting kitten to my house Clyde. I got so tickled, I decided to put him in my next single title…can you see where this is going? Yes, I changed my heroines name to Bonnie, because I’m sick like that ;)

I’m reminded time and again how important words are, from titles (which often get changed), to pen names (which I’ll be changing soon) to words like…SMUT. :)

I love the word Smut! My little dictionary defines smut as a Creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire along with a whole bunch of other silly definitions. They make it sound like that’s a bad thing! On my local news recently they ran a piece (originally aired in Chicago) about whether the new romances were porn or not. Apparently they haven’t been watching a lot of TV, or they don’t know any advertising executives…newsflash folks, Sex Sells–and if you don’t believe me, just ask all those people that make beer and Sports Illustrated (Swimsuit Edition–helping teenage boys get off since it’s inception). Ahhhhhh we’re so easily tittilated (another word I love!).

In honor of my favorite word (say it loud; say it proud!) I’m going to give away this lovely t-shirt to one lucky winner (to be drawn by Sasha!). All you have to do, is think of a commercial where sex is used to sell the product. My only rule is nothing too vague!

And now an excerpt from one of the novellas in the book formerly known as Blue Collar Chicks……..

FIRST off, Winner form Yesterdays draw for an ebook dowlaod from my Backlist is JESSY H!!!

Today’s giveaway from me for all you partiers… A signed copy of Black Laces Sex In The Office which is the short story that inspired Katie and Joe’s story. (which willbe released in about 6 weeks!!!)

Just keep commenting and partying…and you’re entered in the draw!!

NOW…
Pam sent me this pic of her fave Hottie to share with you all. Actually, she sent me several pictures of him, but I’m keeping some of them for myself. LOL

So this picture of Lost’s Josh Holloway begs me to ask…if you were stranded on a deserted island, with the person or character of your choice, say for one week of uninterupted…..bliss…….who would you want it to be?

Josh is sexy, but I think I’ll choose Jake for this one.

Hi! I’m Charlene Teglia and today I get to party on Sasha’s blog. Ooo, fun! Speaking of fun, I think romance should be. I love writing about couples who have fun together, laugh together, help each other lighten up. A sense of humor is soooo sexy.

My excerpt today features a couple who have a lot of fun falling in love. Tell me about your favorite fun romance and you could win a download of Love and Rockets! And I could add to my Books To Buy list. : D

Hey everyone, I want to introduce Lucinda Betts to you. You’ve already met Bonnie Edwards, and you know me And now you’re going to meet the third author of the PURE SEX anthology. That’s right, all three of us are together in the July Aphrodisia anthology. Whoo hooo!

So, Introducing Lucinda Betts!!!

Hey Partygoers,

I see Sasha has been entertaining everyone in the highest of style over the last few days. Cheers, Sasha! Thanks for the invite! I’m holing my bottle of Dos XX up for you to clink, complete with lime.
It dulls the pain.

I, Lucinda Betts, made my first sale a year ago this month. Kensington bought six manuscripts. Six! I thought I was the shit. THE shit. When my crit partner asked me if I was going to RT, I said, “Why would I? I already made my sales. I have an agent and an editor.”

Well, once again I’m embarrassed at being such a smartypants. My mother always warned me my cocky attitude would get me in trouble. And she’s right. Mothers usually are, damn it.

I wish I were at the RT!

Okay, I know I don’t need an editor or agent, but I’d sure love to meet my Aphrodisia Sisters, meet the other editors, see who the hotshots are. Who wouldn’t want to drink a margarita with Kate Douglas?
And then there’s the whole marketing thing. I should be meeting my potential fans.
But dejection and I aren’t real good friends. I found a way to drown my regret. I found two ways, actually.
First, I checked myself into the Montauk Yacht Club from Sunday until yesterday. (Which is my excuse for my rather rude sudden appearance—sorry I wasn’t adding to the blogs til now!) Day Spa. Heated Pool. World-class chef. The works. And let me tell you about the staff…yum. Jamiaca, mon. The legs, the accents. Yep. It eased the pain.

The second thing I did was meet all the other party animals here in cyberspace.

Hey! It’s great to meet you!

Clink.

Hey, better watch it. This tastes better without foam, but I appreciate the enthusiasm!

Speaking of enthusiasm, I hear Sasha wanted excerpts. Bonnie, you did a great job losing your excerpt virginity. Your captain seems mighty tasty, and poor Teri looks like she’s in desperate need of the manly equivalent of a banana split.

These days I’m not a virgin in any sense of the word. Except maybe lion taming. I haven’t tried that. No, in all seriousness, I’ve got excerpts up on my website. You can check them out at www.LucindaBetts.com.

But because I really am a festive girl, I’m putting something all new here on Sasha’s blog. It’s an excerpt from NIGHT SPELL, which comes out in September. Think magic and fantasy and dreams and dragons. Think tents and captors and thieves. Oh, and lots of healthy man flesh. And some lovely woman flesh, come to think of it. You switch hitters out there, and you know who you are, have found your author.

Enough teasing. Here’s the excerpt.

Oh! One more thing… (I do enjoy the teasing.) I have cover flats to give away from NIGHT SPELL and PURE SEX. And, PURE SEX is coming out next month, so…
So, how do you get a cover flat, or, if you can wait til the end of June, how do you get a copy of PURE SEX? Well, Bonnie Edwards and Stephanie Tyler are so very classy, wanting thoughtful answers to thoughtful questions.
Personally, I just want Stephanie’s SEAL. I hang out in way too many bars looking for him. (Cheers to you, Sasha! And all the great bartenders of the world!)
I am just to damn hungover to think of a thoughtful question, so here’s the deal. Tell me a joke. A good one. I want to tell it in a bar, halfway inebriated.
The three funniest jokers will get an autographed copy of NIGHT SPELL and PURE SEX cover flats. The gal that makes me laugh so hard that beer comes out of my nose gets an autographed copy of PURE SEX.
SWAK,
Lucinda

Introducing Kathleen Dante

Oh, wow! All these great prizes being given out! I feel like a piker since I don’t have anything out yet to give away. But I do have an excerpt! So while others are living it up at RT, let’s party!

A lot has been made of love—and lust—at first sight. And then there’s Bonnie’s love at first touch. Love at first touch hasn’t happened to me, though I’d like to believe it happens. But what about hearing? Ever heard a voice that just rang your chimes? You know, the kind that just makes you melt when you hear it? Not necessarily in love, but definitely in lust.

That’s how it starts with my heroine in ENTANGLED. An executive with a corporate espionage problem, Kiera Stevens finds that the security adept recommended to resolve that problem has a voice that sparks uncharacteristic fantasies.

Just to whet his appetite. Here’s how Riker Montgomery met his mate…

Jake, maybe you can meet a girl if the hotel you’re staying in double-books.
It could happen.

Meet Bethany Montgomery
His tongue continued to dip into her creaming center as she began to shake. He sucked her nectar as it flowed onto his tongue. She writhed against his mouth in a blazing climax.
Riker licked and kissed his way back up her body. He rose above her.
“Spread!” he rumbled. “Open!” the werewolf demanded. “Want you, Baby” his pulsing cock nudged her pussy.
She stared apprehensively at him through her big green eyes, wanting him, but nervous.
“Let me in” he purred in demand as he poised himself at her wet entrance.
Hesitantly, she opened her legs a little, placing her hands on his shoulders.
“Want me?” he purred.
“Yes, I do, but…” she stammered. His glowing yellow eyes bored into hers. “I want you,” She croaked. “But…”
“MINE” he growled menacingly.
“I — It’s been so long, Riker. I didn’t like it much before.” She whispered. “I’m sorry but I’m not good at this. Please, don’t be mad.”
Something in her voice penetrated his bestial haze. He kissed her and licked her neck and breasts in reassurance. She felt his cock nudging her wet center.
“Take care of you,” he promised her, barely able to form words.
She opened her legs wider. “Yes” she said.
He plunged in to her and she gasped and moaned. “Oh! Oh my!”
“MMMMM” he responded throwing his head back, “Mmmm, GOOD.”
He began to move inside of her and she couldn’t believe how it felt. It was much better than her imagination. Her only other experience with sex was not nearly as breathtaking. Obviously, he’d had a lot more experience than she did, but she had never felt anything as good as this — not ever.
“Say my name” he demanded.
“Riker! Please, Riker!” she clutched at him and wrapped her legs around him.

Hi Everyone!! Happy to be here for the blog party, and thanks to Sasha for inviting me!

This has been an exciting year for me in terms of writing. My first Harlequin Blaze, newly titled, Coming Undone, comes out in Spring 2007. I also write Paranormal Erotica Romance with co-author Larissa Ione — we write under the pen name Sydney Croft and our trilogy will be published by Bantam Dell, dates tba.

Anyway, enough about me. Mainly because I’ve got a Navy SEAL named Jake peering over my shoulder telling me that no one wants to hear about me, but he’s under the impression everyone wants to hear about him. He heard the words party and Sasha and blog and figured he’d plead his case here and frankly, I’m too tired to argue with him.

So you can read what he had me write up for him, and then you can tell me who your all-time favorite hero is — he can be from a book or TV or a movie — and why he does it for you. You’ve got until this blog party ends to post a comment and I’ll pick the winners at random. 3 of you. The prizes? You’ll each get one of the romance books that made me fall in love with romance and shaped the way I write my own romance heroes — Lucky’s Lady by Tami Hoag, Kiss and Tell by Cherry Adair and Over The Edge by Suzanne Brockmann. And if you win a book you’ve already read, we can negotiate on another favorite of mine. Because it’s always all about the hero and getting what we want, isn’t it?

*looks over shoulder* No, Jake, I’m not telling them you’re my favorite hero.
