The past few weeks have been hard. Between the 16th anniversary of my mother's death, I'm sorry but you never get OVER it, you just get used to it. Still, when I published my first book, it was her I wanted to tell so badly. So I planned book two to come out on that anniversary, it was important to me. Because of Mark, it was a day late. He has been heavy on my mind. I have been losing sleep over this guy. Why? Why him? Because of how he made me feel. I realized today that it’s not him, per se, that I miss, but the fantasy of him. The dream he allowed me of what a future with him could have been like. The lovemaking, the talking, the laughing, sharing, loving and touching.  Connecting on a deeper intimate level, that I have not connected on in so many many years.  So thank you for that, thank you. I really do hope you find what you’re looking for and that she deserves you and makes you happy. But it's time for me to let go of the fantasy of us.   Goodbye....

She was way ahead of her times.  I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness.  I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot.  I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated.  I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding. ~An ais Nin

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 woke to the sound of the rain beating against the window. The light was dim, he lay there, arms sprawled above his head. The sheet barely covered his right hip, his left leg cocked up at the knee. and he was semi erect. I wondered what he was dreaming about, what it was that was exciting him. The last day and half of fucking, sucking, touching then making love, slowly and passionately had been the most incredible of my life. I reached out and ran my fingers down his chest, barely touching his beautiful skin. He was such a sensuous man. I skated my fingers down his chest to his stomach and down that little arrow to heaven, you know the one that leads you right to the nest of curls surrounding his perfectly shaped and gorgeous cock. The cock that had brought me so much pleasure over the last days. I wrapped my fingers around him gently, barely touching him. He didn’t even stir a little bit as I started to stroke him firmly and he hardened in my hand. Leaning over I kissed ...

It's been awhile since I updated you on the dating front... well there's not much to say really. The married man is gone, his lame excuse... "You are just too far away." Ok, got the hint, "You just aren't worth the effort." Loud and clear! Met Tall guy. Actually in person. Very nice guy, very very nice. I think too nice really, for me. I am a rotten sexual being and he is... a little sexually repressed I think?  Have no idea with this one, he was falling in love one day, wanting to be the best boyfriend I ever had and dumped me the next (well a few days later. It all happened in the course of a couple of weeks... What the hell is it with me? Again, I would say to the guys out there: Be honest. Be open. We are adults not children. If you can't handle breaking it off with someone with some honesty, then don't date. Maybe its a misunderstanding, miscommunication. After all you are both new to each other. Fuck, give it at least a conversation...

Great series!  S T Abby is a wonderful weaver of story.  Love Lana and Logan and their budding romance. He is so perfect for her. He allows her to relax a little and be taken care of for a change.

There are references to rape, mutilation, torture and killin...

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...
