Sunday already. Sometimes life just moves too fast or you just don't quite accomplish all of the things you think you should have, in the given time. I have felt that way on my birthdays frequently. Like I couldn't possibly be a year older because I hadn't done enough to warrant that. What a fool. Time flies whether you do a ton of stuff or sit perfectly still and do absolutely nothing, time stops for no one, no matter how slow or fast we think it's going. I have discovered a few things about myself lately. First, I am not a patient person. I feel like Veruca Salt... I WANT IT NOW!  Just in case you have no idea what that reference means... you can watch it here on YouTube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRTkCHE1sS4 When I decided it was time for a man in my life, I want it POOF, now. As soon as I find one I like, have an attraction to and feel like they are attracted to me, I want them now. Current guy, Mark. He's a good talker, great communica...

I started this crazy ass journey back in August. I have lost count on how many men I have spoken with, exchanged emails, texted and skyped with, the number is scary honestly. Lots of toads, a few high-quality men, who I managed to intimidate and scare off with my intensity, maybe? I have no idea, one day they just stop talking. I guess it’s a common thread, so what is it exactly that men want? What is it that they expect to happen if they show up like a real man and actually tell you, "Hey it's just not working for me", good luck with your search. What do they think? I guess there are some scary women who would get angry and lash out, if she’s all that, then just walk away, but there are those of us out here who just want to know, so we don’t make the same mistakes the next time. I can usually go over every conversation, ruminate over them actually, and find several dozen reasons someone would find me undesirable. So, news … fuck… Ok so in the last couple weeks I ...

I love this cover. It's so perfect for the story of Jenni and Jude.  Blurbs: The Promise  Jenni Carmichael has been in love with her boss Jude Parker since day one, three years ago. She is his right hand. She thinks he hasn't even noticed her. After a night out, she is surprised to find out that he has noticed her. A whirlwind romance ensues but trying to combine their undeniable chemistry and work is a real struggle. One evening, after work, Jenni goes back in the building and finds Jude in the arms of a beautiful blond. Their lives are turned upside down when Jude's old college fiance comes back into the picture wanting to rekindle their love, and she will stop at nothing to make that happen. Will Jenni and Jude have any chance of saving their relationship and each other from the dangers around them?  “ Lesbians own the market in women’s sexuality.” He chuckled at the expression on her face. “The main thing they taught me was to never ac...

I had been wanting to read a book by this author for a very long time. I love her book covers, its true a book cover really does sell a book. For me its one-word titles and book covers. If you can tell an entire story with one word, I'm there. So, Consequences, we all know what that is. Claire Nichols is the main character. She is a bartender in a small nonconsequential, (LOL) bar. A customer, one Anthony Rawlings, asks her to have a drink with him after her shift.  Next thing she knows, she suspects that he drugged her, she wakes in a very nice luxury bedroom in a place she doesn't know. The door is locked, she has no means for escape and she is terrified. She must learn to play his game in order to survive. He is very violent in his punishments. Now this is where I got a little perturbed. The author only  alludes  to the beatings. She alludes to the suffering. This is plugged as a dark erotica. Ok, those of us who read this gen...

A short story written by a wonderful friend and writer!  Take a read. Free on KU!  It's a really sexy read. Begging Becky Internet dating may be the new dance club scene for hooking up.

When one is desperate one tends to make very bad, and naughty choices. Becky was no different. Although, Becky’s choices may put her in danger.

Pepper Winters has a wonderful imagination. I have read several of her series and they have all been excellent, in-depth examinations of the human psyche. In the Dollar Series, we have Pimlico, a young woman who is abducted from her life and sold into sex slavery. She is purchased by a sadistic, cruel monster who is rich and has nothing better to do than to torture his new toy. She is strong and resilient, but after 2 years of torture, as she is ready to give up, ready to stop living, Elder Prest comes along with his “ penny for your thoughts ”. She is drawn to him and wants him as her savior, but can she trust him? She can see, he too has a darkness inside him. Elder Prest is a tortured man. His life has been full of pain and agony, some of his own making. His OCD keeps him from doing the things his dangerously filthy mind wants to do. His past is full of agony over hurting the ones he loves, so he has a strict code, once is all he gets. One touch, one fuck, one taste… and no ...

Ok girls, did you read the previous post, Internet Dating, Rules for Men?  Yeah? Good. All of that applies to you as well. One thing I want to reiterate: keep your knees together. No matter how bad you want him, sex is not what will keep him around. I mean if all you want is to fuck him, then go for it. But if you are truly hoping, be honest with yourself here, for an LTR… do not sleep with him until you know for sure where his head… the one on his shoulders girls… is at in the dating game. Is he just some hustler who wants a one night stand or a week or two of booty calls? If so, send him on his way, you will feel much better about yourself for it. Setting yourself up for the right expectations is the key. I am ashamed I have to say this to any grown woman, but I have heard this a few times from guys and it really bothers me more than I can say. If you are a gold digger, if all you want is a sugar daddy to pay your rent, help you out financially, raise your kids.... damn h...

This is an excerpt from my current work in progress. Doing the final edit. Will be published by the end of the year. Keep your fingers crossed, there aren't any huge rewrites, like the last one. Mending Hearts By: Shauna Marie I had asked him to run away with me. I’d asked him a thousand times, but last night I’d gone to his hotel room and knocked. He pulled me in quickly and looked down the hallway and slammed the door. “What are you doing here?” He asked softly. “Giving you an out.” I wrapped my hands around his cheeks, pushing my body against his. The way he liked. The whole body hug.  “Please come with me Cade. Choose us, choose me. Run away with me. Please.” The tears started to fall. “Please Cade?” He was beautiful. He didn’t have a clue how much he affected me. “You know that I can’t do this Soph.” He walked away and ran his hands through his hair, leaving it sexy and messed. It reminded me of all the mornings we had made love before running off to work. He turne...

Here is a little something I wrote as a free write for an assignment.  It’s fiction people! A friend from work had invited me to lunch at a new restaurant in town. I was excited, it sounded like a wonderful place to take my wife on our fifth anniversary the following week. Five years was one of those milestone years, at least it felt that way. We had been connecting on a deeper level over the last year and things were perfect, so I was anxious to spend some time showing Kate just how much she was loved and appreciated in every way. The hostess was walking me through the restaurant to the table where my co-workers sat talking and laughing. They were a lively group. I sat in one of the open chairs facing out into the restaurant, my favorite way to observe people. I found it amazing how comfortable people could be in the middle of a restaurant for everyone to see. Like in a car, people act like they are alone and act as if they are unobserved. Best time to watch people. A...

For some crazy reason, I am extremely attracted to Libra men. I have three exs, best friend, brother, father and have been out with many others. The last one was right on the cusp, but, claims Scorpio. He's a Libra, trust me. Libra's are my kryptonite. They are charming and broody and funny and they love to philosophize, examine the wrongs of the world. They're sensitive and emotional and just overall sweet men. BUT and that is a big BUT, they hurt me every time. They break my heart, aren't ready to commit or aren't interested in committing to me. Twice I have been told, "I'm sorry but I am marrying someone else."  One of them after six years of a tumultuous relationship. Recently, I was drawn to a man. He was attractive, intelligent, very charming, and seemingly, into me. I asked his birthday, sure enough, Libra. I knew it before he even told me. I said to him. "I'm so sorry. We can't talk anymore." "Why?" he asked....

I’ve always wondered about the men and women in romance novels and songs that provoke such deep feelings. The song Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman, or Lady In Red . The movie When a Man Loves a Woman … Men who understand and appreciate the women they love. What makes those women so special? What is it that men see in the women they honestly truly madly deeply love. The kind of love that makes them never want to even look at another besides her? A woman who ruins them for all others? Are there really men out there that love so deeply that they can’t think of anything but her? Driving him to distraction? All he can think about is holding her, possessing her and owning her, fucking her, sucking on her?  Where are those men? Are they just figments of our imagination? Most of these authors are women, afterall. Are they what we WANT, but never find? And honestly are they truly men who we would want? Should they remain a fantasy? After reading hundreds of these stories where t...

I’ve had many fresh starts lately. Some good, some bad, some worked, some didn’t. This blog is new, a way for me to unleash my thoughts out into the world and share parts of myself with you. I named this, Ramblings because I tend to purge my thoughts and then end up coming full circle, hopefully with a conclusion. But we know that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes it just takes further thought. I’ve had a lot of realizations in the last few months. I’ve always kind of been a loner, it’s what makes me write. I like people, just not as much as I used to. I enjoy writing because, guess what, I get to control the characters and what they say and do. Real people just don't seem to cooperate like they do in our heads. But where is the learning and excitement in that? It's the surprises in life that make us think and give us new fodder to consider. Fall is coming and it’s my favorite time of year to spend time cuddling by a fire, talking, sipping hot chocolate, and kissing...
