Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe another year has gone by. This time last year I was anxiously awaiting my first release from Ellora's Cave. January 31st is my anniversary. It's been a fantastic year.

On January 31st I will host an anniversary party on the EC loop but I'll tell you more about that when it gets closer.

My January newsletter will release within the next few days. Check it out to discover the special contest/prizes I'll have this month.

Hope you all have a wonderful New Year and here's to an even better 2008!

TT #26

13 memories from this holiday some good some bad!

1. A good one- It was wonderful to see the family, many people that I haven’t seen in a long time. The cousin’s kids have grown so much and there were 3 new babies that I saw for the first time.
2. A bad one- The airport delays. We were lucky we only had an hour delay for fog.
3. Bad- Since it’s a short trip they use small planes. It was like a sardine can.
4. Good- Hanging out and relaxing with family.
5. Bad- They lost 2 of my 4 suitcases on the way home.
6. Good- Just watching my daughter enjoy herself.
7. Good- Spending Christmas with Nana for the first time since we moved to KY.
8. Bad- Leaving my dogs behind with my sister.
9. Good- All the delicious food.
10. Bad- How tight my clothes are now!
11. Good- Listening to all the stories from the relatives.
12. Bad- Sleeping in a different bed kills my back.
13. Good- It’s good to be home with my dh, daughter and puppies with beautiful memories to share. It would be better if they found my luggage

Back home

Well, I'm home safe and sound from my trip to Chicago. I wish I could say the same for my luggage. The airline lost two pieces somewhere! Just sent my dh to Walgreens because I don't have a toothbrush at the moment. Of course, if they don't find it in 5 DAYS they will ask for a list of lost items. Thankfully they lost it on the way home and not on the way there. At least I have other clothes. My dh and daughter are shopping for makeup and other essentials that we lost. It's nice to send them out to take care of it.

Other than that it wasn't too bad. The flight to Chicago was an hour late. I'd forgotten how cold it is in Chicago and I didn't take a heavy jacket.

The family stuff went pretty good. No fights. No bloodshed! It's all good! (I am married into an Italian family)

Though I spent Christmas day with Austrian relatives and ate Austrian food which was awesome.

If I get my luggage back I'll be happy and thankfully that it's all over for another year.

Excerpt: Adventures in Space, Owned

This is an excerpt of my December 21st release from Changeling press.

Excerpt:
In her quarters, Aurelia’s hands shook as she smoothed her hair. The Jibodi Roll was too formal a look. She didn’t want John to think she was trying to impress him. Tugging the pins out of her hair, she brushed the long riotous curls. “Am I making a mistake?” she asked her reflection. The redheaded image smiled and shook its head. “I knew you would agree with me.” She’d learned the hard way to count only on herself. She made her own decisions and her own mistakes.

“If you are finished talking to yourself, I thought you might want to know, a hovercraft from the UGT detention facility just landed.” Ro smirked.

Aurelia’s stomach dropped. “Sweet heavens.” He was here. She hadn’t really believed the United Galactic Territories would sell him.

“It’s not too late. I can send him away.”

But, it was too late, years too late. It was too late the first time Michel brought John home. He’d been twenty-six to her nineteen, a man in every since of the word. It was a shame it had come to this. She had never thought he’d join the resistance and turn on Michel or her.

Trembling legs carried her through her small craft. Standing at the open airlock, a blast of hot air stole her breath. She rarely landed on Mateo-Alpha, she detested the arid landscape but she’d agreed to meet the detention ship here. It was a two-man UGT detention hauler. She waved her arm and the gangway opened. A large, shirtless man filled the opening. Neuro-locks encased his wrists but his dark head had a high tilt as he descended the stairs. He didn’t look abused. There was no obvious bruising or scarring.

“Aurelia Giat?” the droid proceeding John asked.

“Yes. I have the documentation. Here’s the purchase and release agreement.” Her hands shook but she worked hard to control the tremble in her voice.

Silently, the droid took the documents from her and scanned the papers. “All seems to be in order. From this point on you are responsible for John Blaten, ex-commander of The Galliant of the Halian Federation.”

“I understand.” Did her voice sound as wobbly as it felt?

The droid handed the papers along with a small disc back to her. “This is the neuro-control key.”

She rolled up the papers. “Thank you.”

Without another word, the droid turned and marched back up the stairs. The moment she had dreaded had arrived. She was alone with John. Swallowing deeply, she turned to look at her possession. Sucking in a ragged breath, she met his gaze. She might quake internally but she’d be damned if she’d show it. Flat, black eyes stared at her from a stoic face. Pursing her lips, she deliberately raked her gaze over his near naked frame and her pussy slicked with desire.

Perspiration dotted his golden skin and it gleamed. A sprinkling of chest hair tapered to disappear beneath the Federation uniform pants he still wore. They appeared to be a size too big as they rode low on his lean hips exposing well-defined abs. Under the loose fitting pants laid the evidence of his arousal.
Her mouth was suddenly dry. Aurelia closed her eyes as her knees nearly gave out. Oh, lord. He’s mine to do with, as I will. “Looks like you’re happy to see me.”

John’s expressionless gaze ran over her. “Or maybe I’m excited to be free.”

New release date!

Just got word that my first Changeling Press release, Adventures in Space, Owned has a new release date of December 21st!

I'm so excited to see how this one does.

I did it!

Well, I bit the bullet and went to the mall over the weekend. I cheated by getting there when they opened and beating the crowd. Actually, it wasn't too bad. It was just starting to fill up when we left at about 11:00am.

I made the mistake of taking my daughter with me so I bought very little for anyone but her. Lord, that girl can shop.

We met my sister and my niece out there so it was fun. They wouldn't let me stop at the bookstore though. They said they'd never get me out of there. LOL

I did get my daughter a new jacket and it's a good thing because it's turned cold. Urgh! I hate cold! Makes me want to stay in bed.

TT #23

TT#23
This week is dedicated to shopping horrors! Things that drive me crazy while shopping. I should confess, I hate to shop. I know! I’m not normal.

1. The people the in the grocery store that always leave their cart in the middle of the isle.
2. Finding a parking spot at the mall anytime between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
3. Following my daughter from store to store while she tries to find the perfect outfit.
4. Being told to buy that impossible to find present for one of my nieces or nephews.
5. Waiting in line forever.
6. Having the store open a new check out line and the people from the back of the line jump in front of everyone.
7. Price checks that take forever.
8. Having someone pull into the parking spot, you’ve been waiting for.
9. While shopping online: Loosing connection after you enter all your info.
10. Finding the perfect outfit but it’s too small. (At least once in a while it could be too big!)
11. Trying on clothes in the dressing room.
12. Taking the clothes back that don’t fit. I wouldn’t have bought them if I’d tried them on in the dressing room.
13. Listening to dh complain while carrying the bags. Doesn’t he know that’s in a dh’s job description.

Christmas is around the corner.

Well, I've started my Christmas shopping though I didn't torture myself by going out on Black Friday! I did venture out on Saturday and it wasn't too bad. Of course, I wasn't brave enough to hit the malls. I did go to Staples and Radio Shack to buy my electronic Christmas presents. I had quite a few on my list. Since I can't buy clothes for my daughter, (she's thirteen and won't weat anything I buy.) I bought her some electronics other than that she's getting gift cards.

I haven't begun decorating for Christmas yet. I don't think I'm going to do a lot of decorating this year since we are spending Christmas in Chicago with my dh's family.

It's been a long year and I'm not feeling Christmasy yet. Hopefully, I'll get in the mood.

New reviews!

I woke up this morning to two wonderful reviews from ParaNormalRomance.
Nicole Harvey reviewed both They Both Belong To Me and Hunters for Hire, Savage.

Read what she said about Savage,
"This story caught me from page one. The world that L.A. Day built in this wonderfully intriguing story just blew me away. The way she showed Savage as a man but also a dominate beast. To me when an author as good as L.A. Day writes them no one can touch them."

Read entire review here!

Read what she said about They Both Belong To ME,
"Well I loved, LOVED this story. I told hubby and my children not to bother me until I was done reading the last page. Then I went back and re-read it again."

As you can imagine I'm walking on cloud 9 right now!

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving and I probably won’t have a Thursday Thirteen so I thought I’d do my Thanksgiving edition this week. Below is a partial list of reason and things that make me thankful. They aren’t in any particular order except for the first two and really, they should be a tie.


1. My Daughter
2. My Husband
3. My extended family
4. My friends
5. Readers of my books
6. Reviewers of my books
7. The love of reading my mother instilled in me.
8. My first book contract with Ellora’s Cave.
9. My other contracts
10. Cobblestone Press
11. Changeling Press
12. Great editors
13. The Internet

I am thankful for these and many other things. I didn’t mention my dogs but I am very thankful for my four-legged babies. I’m also thankful for my health and the health of my family. I’m thankful for the wonderful country I live in and those who protect it. I’m thankful for the opportunity to write for a living. I'm thankful for the other writers that write such hot stories that I love. I could go on and on with this but I won't. I'll just say, I'm very thankful for every day!

Thanksgiving is almost here!

It's been so warm here until recently that it's hard to believe Thanksgiving is next Thursday. Of course, you'd think it was almost Christmas since everywhere you go shopping they're already promoting it. I went to five places the other day before I could find a turkey centerpiece. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but it'll work.

I haven't even started my Christmas shopping! I have no idea what to buy my 13 y/o daughter except gift cards. How un-Christmasy is that? It was so much easier when she was little.

Sigh! It's rather depressing to not have a little one that believes in Santa.

13 Things I didn't need to see last night.

1. The lady down the street dressed as a witch. The costume was very cute for a party with adults but not for taking the kids out trick or treating.

2. The little boy that fell in the street and skinned his knees. I felt so bad for him.

3. The older boys from down the street (18-19year olds) that were eyeing my daughter and her friends. They are 13 & 14 year olds. Those boys wanted to be hurt.

4. All the candy that I didn't need to eat! (I did anyway)

5. Halloween Four - my daughter didn't want to go to sleep after watching it.

6. Halloween Five - see above

7. The broken pumpkins all over the street. They look so sad when they're broken!

8. The silly string my daughter and her friends shot all over my back porch. My daughter will be cleaning up that tonight.

9. The mud they tracked all over my floors. (I cleaned that up while my daughter was complaining she couldn't sleep)

10. 11:30 then 12:00 go by without me going to bed. I was hoping for an early night.

11. The little girl that was sick at the end of my sidewalk. DH got to clean that up!

12. Very few scary costumes. What happened to being scary for Halloween?

13. Most of all, you hate to see it come to an end. I enjoy Halloween even though it may not sound like it. I love to decorate the house and see all the kids in costume especially the little ones.

Contest runs until Friday. Leave a post for your chance to win a download of Friday's release Dancing For The Wolf.

A peek at Zarius

Zarius by L.A. Day
Releases December 28, 2007 from Ellora’s Cave

Setup:
Zar is a Rejan male that’s come to Earth to claim his mate. Star doesn’t know she has Rejan blood and thinks she has found the perfect man.

Excerpt:
Zar’s first thought upon feeling his mate pressed intimately against him was that she was even lovelier up close than at a distance. His second was decidedly more carnal and prompted him to take a step back before she felt his reaction.
From a distance, he had admired her. But up close, her radiant beauty caused his body to throb with desire. This he had expected. However, he had not expected what he thought was his heart turning over in his chest.

Zarius quirked a brow, unsettled by his own reaction but decidedly pleased with her response to him. This might be easier than he’d anticipated. After observing a few females of her kind, he had been concerned that she might be too independent to conform easily to Rejan ways.

As they entered the small restaurant Zar cast a suspicious gaze about, taking note of their surroundings. There were many Earthlings jammed into the small establishment. Out of habit, he scanned the occupants. Discovering nothing out of the ordinary, he led his mate to the counter.

Having partaken of a meal at several places since his arrival, he had found most of the foods he had ordered edible and some delicious even. He ordered the same as his mate—a tuna sandwich. What he received was mush on soft bread. He hoped the taste exceeded the smell.

“Oh my gosh,” Star exclaimed as she took her seat in a booth at the back of the crowded deli. “We haven’t introduced ourselves. My name is Star. Star Elliot.” Luminous eyes turned to him expectedly.

He had just taken a bite of his mush, which was not as bad as he feared. Hurriedly he chewed before responding. “I like your name.” He thought it very appropriate. “I am named Zarius. My closest friends address me as Zar.”
“Hmm, I like it. It’s different, like you. What’s your last name?” Her vivid green eyes danced as she spoke.

Her apparent innocence entranced Zarius. “El Kyr.”

Their eyes met and he observed a shiver shake her small frame. Her already rosy checks flushed. He knew his stare was making her uncomfortable but as long as their eyes met, they forged a connection. In his mind, he could see them together at his home on Reja. He could feel the warmth of her flesh beneath his. He could almost taste the sweet cream he knew gathered between her thighs.

Tearing his gaze from hers, he was not surprised to hear a small gasp escape her lips. He wondered if the connection was as strong for her. Could she feel his wants and desires, their need of each other? Did she understand their connection?
Zar watched her intently, reading the many expressions as they crossed her radiant face. Without Rejan shields, her emotions were transparent and he easily read confusion, desire and a little fear. She watched him silently as she nibbled her sandwich.

“I wish very much to see you again,” Zar whispered hoarsely. His heated gaze following her petal pink tongue as it darted out to lick her pouty lips. Reflexively, the muscles in his stomach tightened. His cock began to rise as his balls constricted at the thought of licking those ripe lips.

Post to win!

Don't forget to post a comment on my blog for a chance to win a free download of Dancing For The Wolf. The more you post the better your chance.

Excerpt: Savage

Savage releases from Ellora's Cave on November 7th.

Blurb:
Savage, a bounty hunter and half-Rabian shifter, needs a woman. He needs his wife, Alaya.

He’d left her alone on their wedding night three years ago after she’d screamed in fear when he’d become highly aroused and started to shapeshift. Now it is time to face his demons—to consummate his marriage or end it.

Fate steps in, sending them headlong into danger. Seeing her again ignites his desire and jealousy arouses his dominant nature. Using her passions against her, he persuades her to submit to him for all to hear. But even if Alaya can adapt to his feral lust, unseen danger lurks, waiting to rip them apart again.

Excerpt: Savage by L.A. Day
This book is part of the Hunters for Hire series. It is a stand alone book.


Savage groaned as he rolled his leggings down his thighs. He stretched hugely, feeling every one of his twenty-nine years. Stepping under the warm water, he threw his head back. It had been a long month chasing after Uber Te’lk and he was glad to be back at the Web. Of course, Ulric would chew his ass out for the D.O.A. but Uber had left him no choice. Either way, the bounty was the same. Unfortunately, dead men couldn’t talk, so they wouldn’t be getting any information on the Cintealios Nation from him.

Flexing his shoulders, Savage relaxed as the hot water streamed over his body. Water conservation be damned, he’d conserved for the last month. Facilities on The Viper were primitive at best and the remote rocks he’d scoured for Uber were even worse. If it weren’t for the substantial pay and the freedom, he’d have left this line of work long ago.

Bursting a ball of cleanser in his hand, he began to lather his chest. The fresh scent of roses wafted from the soap. “Real fuckin’ funny,” Savage muttered to himself. Someone had switched his cleanser with a perfumed variety. He’d bet his left nut it was Zeri, the newly hired cook for BHI. She seemed to take perverse pleasure in tormenting the hunters. She knew no one would retaliate or she’d spill their darkest secrets.

Why Ulric hired the witch to work at Bounty Hunters, Inc., nobody knew. Maybe, she had something on their illustrious leader too. She wasn’t bad to look at but few dared to look too close. She made everyone uncomfortable. For the most part, the hunters stayed to themselves. They all had pasts that were better left alone. Zeri was a telepath and before Savage realized her abilities, she’s discovered some of his secrets. Ever since, she’d found little ways of tormenting him.

The soap was a prime example. She knew the scent of roses reminded him of his wife, Alaya. Savage’s hand lowered to his cock, lathering the lengthening flesh.

Fuck!

It was a bitch that just the scent of roses made him hard. He couldn’t continue like this. It was time he did something about the problem. It was time he got the situation in hand.

A low groan escaped his lips as his fist pumped his turgid rod. He growled. The witch probably knew what he was doing right now.

However, it wasn’t Zeri’s face that filled his mind as he stroked his shaft. Long, red-gold tresses and laughing, green eyes tormented him. Ruby red lips parted and his ache became more than physical.

Closing his eyes, his mind turned three years back in time.

“Make love to me, Dean.”

He raked his thumb across Alaya’s full, bottom lip. Heat engulfed him as her green eyes shimmered with unshed tears. “You’re too young.”

“I’m not.” Her full breasts pressed up against his naked chest. The thin material of her gown did little to hide the tightening of her nipples. “You’re my husband. It’s your right to take me.”

Excerpt: Dancing For The Wolf

Dancing for the Wolf by L.A. Day
Available at Cobblestone Press on October 26th.
http://www.cobblestone-press.com

Blurb:
A secretary learns to belly dance to impress her Greek boss. She doesn’t realize she’s dancing for a wolf.

Excerpt:
Sighing, Jenny stretched on the luxurious, heated seat. She’d never been more appreciative of Damon’s taste in cars. The engine purred as he merged into the heavy downtown traffic. “I’m glad the windows are tinted.”

“So am I. Take off your top,” he demanded.

“What?”

“You have no idea what you’ve done. Offering yourself as my sex slave, complete with a whip.” His eyes flashed from the traffic to her.

“It was a joke.” She wiggled in the seat seeking a position that would ease the ache in her pussy.

“I’m not laughing and neither were any of the other men in that room.” Damon whipped the car into a nearly empty parking lot and killed the engine.

“Damianos!”

“You called me Master, earlier.”

“I…uh.”

“It’s too late, you let the beast out and he wants to play.”

The coins on her halter jingled as he pulled her into his lap. The steering wheel at her back trapped her close against him. His strong arms engulfed her sliding her sensuously against his firm chest. Jenny struggled to breath, the heady scent of arousal hung heavy in the air. “Damon,” she groaned.

Burrowing under his jacket, her hands skimmed his heavily muscled chest. He was hairy. She could feel it through his silk shirt. Shifting, she tried to get closer. “The whip is digging into my side.”

A husky chuckle erupted from his lips. He brushed the tail of the whip against her arm. “That’s not the whip.”

“Oh!” She felt heat rise in her cheeks as her pussy gushed with need.

He shifted beneath her. “Damn it, I wish we were anywhere but in this car,” he groaned. Wrapping a hand in her hair, he tugged her head back and took her mouth in a kiss that was almost brutal with intensity.

There wasn’t an ounce of protest in her as she spared with his tongue. A growl rumbled in his chest as he devoured her mouth. Turning her on his lap, he rubbed his erection against her bare stomach. His other hand cradled her left breast as his thumb dipped under her halter-top. Grasping his shoulders, she groaned under his lips as undiluted heat roared through her veins settling between her rapidly dampening thighs.

Jerking her mouth from his, she gasped for breath.

Damon rested his forehead against hers as his chest rose and fell rapidly. “I knew you’d be amazing,” he groaned.

“We’re amazing, together.”

Tilting her head, his hungry gaze pored into hers. “It’s only going to get better.”

“I can’t imagine,” she panted.

“I want you to dance the thifteteli just for me. I want you to dance it naked and let me see these breasts bounce and jiggle as you move.” Both of his hands moved to cradle her breasts.

Jenny groaned. Her body melted under his touch.

“Then, when you bow and offer yourself, I’ll take you as never before. I will make you irreversibly mine.” Sharp teeth nipped her neck.

Out of touch!

Do you ever feel like you are out of touch? That's how I've felt the last week or so. I've been sick and working on a sci-fi project. The sci-fi has been fun. It's always great to create new worlds but it's not so fun when you're sick. I've had zero creative energy. Feeling better today though so I'm off to work on my latest WIP, Feral Intensity, it's the third book of my feral series.

13 THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. You should not confuse your career with your life.
5. A dog wants only to please its owner. A cat wants you to please it.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight saving time.
10. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
11. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
12. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
13. There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2030, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Excerpt of Dancing for the Wolf!

Dancing for the Wolf by L.A. Day
Available at Cobblestone Press on October 26th.
This is a shape shifting erotic tale.

http://www.cobblestone-press.com


Blurb:
A secretary learns to belly dance to impress her Greek boss. She doesn’t realize she’s dancing for a wolf.

Excerpt:

Peeking out from her spot behind the potted plant, Jenny Lad saw him as he entered the room. He would be hard to miss even in the room full of a hundred people or so. At six-four, dark and gorgeous, Damianos Alexander, Damon to those who knew him, stood out in any crowd. As president of Alexander Marketing, he didn’t dress up for the company Halloween party. Still, he looked completely comfortable, at least on the surface.

Alexander Marketing Inc. had recently landed the long sought after account of Just Novelties and what better way to celebrate than with a Halloween party. Halloween was Just Novelties bread and butter and the new advertising scheme opened last week. So far, it had passed with flying colors. Halloween was two days away and Just Novelties was already showing a boost in sales over last year. It was the perfect time to celebrate.

Jenny had been planning this event for the last two months and she was determined it would be a success. She had just thrown her resignation on Damon’s desk but that didn’t matter. This party would be the talk of the town.

Nervous tension wired Jenny as a buxom vampiress approached Damon. “Silicon on display,” she muttered. She glanced at her own cleavage. At least hers were real. She tugged on the small halter. It wouldn’t do to have a nipple pop out during the performance.

Looking back toward the door, her eyes roamed her previous employers form hungrily. She gasped as he turned in her direction. The deerskin flogger she’d left for him hung from his belt. She wished she could have seen his face when he opened the box. The enclosed note told him it was part of his costume as master of the harem girl. With his Greek god looks, he looked the part but could he play it too?

If tonight’s stunt didn’t work, she might never see him again but she couldn’t live off crumbs forever. At thirty-one, she wasn’t over the hill but she’d taken a few steps up it. After tonight, he’d either see her as a woman or he’d see her no more. Last week she’d received a job offer from a prestigious marketing firm. Initially, she’d refused but she’d been asked to think about it a few days, and she had. Things couldn’t go on as they had been. Her feelings for Damon made it impossible for her to continue working for him. She wasn’t naive or stupid. She knew Damon was attracted to her but how deep the attraction went, she was unsure. By quitting her job, she hoped to give them both a chance to explore their feelings, if Damon was interested. Either way she’d know before the night was over. Whatever the outcome, she would go on from there.

The slow rhythmic drumbeat began, and Jenny’s knees began to quake. She took a deep breath and exhaled. She could do this. The past six months of lessons wouldn’t go to waste. Damn good! That was what her instructor called her. Not perfect but good enough to impress most. She intended to impress Damianos Alexander tonight in more ways than one.

Running a hand over her bare stomach, she felt the abdominal muscles she’d worked so hard to acquire. Squaring her shoulders, she stepped into the room swaying to the beat of drums. Clicking her cymbals in unison to the movement of her hips, she managed her first graceful turn on her three-inch stiletto heels.

Concentrating on the music, she barely heard the gasp of appreciation. However, there was no missing the zing of adrenaline as the heat of Damon’s gaze landed full force upon her. She felt more than saw him move closer, until he stood at the edge of the gathering crowd.

Fueled by an overdose of untapped lust Jenny managed to stay in perfect rhythm as the tempo increased. Panting slightly behind her thin veil, she spun around presenting Damon with a perfect view of her ass as the music reached crescendo. She didn’t focus on anyone in particular. Instead, she allowed the room to be a blur of costumed people. Spinning once more, Jenny bowed at Damon’s feet as the music came to a finale.

Standing up, Jenny kept her head bowed and her gaze lowered in the demure pose of a harem girl as she asked, “Did I please you, Master?” Her voice was husky from exertion.

Damon was ready to go up in flames. If they weren’t in a room full of people, he would tell her exactly how to please him. After finding her resignation on his desk, he almost didn’t come to the party. After opening his costume, he had no choice. The flogger had intrigued him, as she knew it would. The little vixen thought she knew him well. She was about to find out, he had a few secrets. Little did she know, she’d just solved a huge problem for him and he couldn’t be happier.

He’d been at a loss at how to handle his developing feelings for his secretary. Now, he didn’t have to worry. She’d resigned. In his book that made her fair game. She’d just put herself on the endangered species list. She might not realize exactly what she was getting herself into but she would adjust. She had no choice. She was his ellinitha, his woman. She didn’t know the consequences of offering herself publicly but he did, and so did many of the guests. If he didn’t take her up on the offer, other males would fight to have her. The only reason she’d remained safe among them was that no one dared to cross him. He’d marked her as his the first day she walked into his office over two years ago. It was a claim he was unwilling to give up.

The room was deadly silent. During her dance, he’d removed the flogger from his belt. It crackled as he slapped it on his palm. It pleased him to see her start at the controlled violence of the action. He allowed the feathered tail of the whip to caress her check. He slid it lower across her breasts and abs. Her stomach muscles quivered. “I found it quite pleasing. Later, you may perform for me in private, and I will give you your reward, my ellinitha.”

Jenny demurely muttered, “Yes, Master.”

5 Moonbeams for They Both Belong To Me!

They Both Belong To Me by LA Day
Available at Ellora’s Cave.

http://www.ellorascave.com/AuthorsBooks.asp?AuthorCode=LDay

Below is a blurb, excerpt and a 5 Moonbeam review from Strictly Romance Reviews.

Blurb:
Commander, Jill Mahall is sexually frustrated. Trapped on a spaceship with two gorgeous lieutenants plays hell with her libido. To ease the suffering, she places an order for some down time with two pleasure droids matching her lieutenants description. What she gets is more than she bargain for.

Talon hacks into the ships computer and discovers her secret. Together Talon and Johann decide to take the place of the droids. Their passions burn not only for their Commander but for each other. The three of them form a unique bond and find a love and lust that they all share. Contains m/m scenes.


Excerpt:
“That infernal buzzing is driving me insane. Doesn’t she know we can fuck her better than any simulation device?” Johann Zcar cursed. He’d just passed Commander Jill Mahall’s quarters. The scent of her arousal and the sound of her vibrating wand had him near eruption.

“Come here. You have to read this,” Talon Yild beckoned him in an amused voice. “I happened to have a duplichip in the main frame today while Jill conferred with Ali from Space Command. You’re not going to believe what it recorded.”

Johann’s eyes quickly scanned the document. “Fuck.”

“That’s right. When we dock on North Star in two days our Commander intends to have two pleasure droids fuck her brains out.” Talon spun his chair sideways. A cocky grin stretched his lips.

“Jesus.” Johann almost exploded at the thought of Jill with two droids.

“Look at this. Her order form to Heavenly Droids.” Talon’s fingers worked the board and an order appeared with an attachment.

“Is that…”

“Our digital images. She wants her droids to look like us. It appears Jill is hot to have our cocks plugging her,” Talon replied smugly.

“Do you think…?” Johann stopped in mid-sentence. Talon rolled his chair closer, brushing his thigh, and a jolt of awareness assaulted him. Johann narrowed his gaze on his friend’s face. Talon was almost beautiful but Johann had never been attracted to a man before. These sudden urges for Talon were unsettling.

“That we should take the place of the droids? Hell yeah. If sweet Jill wants our cocks, she’s going to get our cocks. Why allow her to have droid cock when we’re more than willing to oblige her? The question is, when do we tell her?” Talon turned and their gazes collided. Talon’s eyes dilated and his lips parted on a heavily expelled breath. Sharp desire rocked Johann.

“I…” He tore his gaze from Talon. They were discussing Jill. It was Jill he wanted to fuck. “After we’ve fucked her into total submission, I envision telling her while my cock is buried up her ass.” Johann could imagine Jill’s tight ass turned up for his cock. His cock twitched as an image of Jill kneeling before him entered his mind. Her tight nipples played peek-a-boo through her long blonde hair. Her silvery eyes turned misty as she parted her full lips, waiting for his cock.

“She could relieve us of duty.”

Johann looked back at Talon and suddenly his image replaced Jill. Talon’s lips parted for his cock. Talon’s ass turned up—dammit. He had to stop those images. Johann shook his head. “I don’t know how I’m going to last two days. We should just go to her room now and give her what she wants.” It was the abstinence causing those feelings. It had to be. They’d both been hot for Jill since they’d first seen her. He’d pulled a few strings to land this assignment six months ago. “We’d better wait. How are we going to replace the droids without making Jill suspicious?”

“I’ve already contacted Sally at Heavenly Droids and since we’ve given her so much business, she’s willing to help for a price.”

Johann’s lip curled as he thought of the droid they’d shared on their last visit to Heavenly Droid. It had been after they’d first seen Jill. The droid had had a remarkable resemblance to their Commander and they’d ridden it hard. Sally had sworn she would have to replace the jaw hinge.

“There’s always a price but this time it’ll be worth it. No price is too high to have Commander Jill Mahall on her knees before us.”

5 Moonbeams for They Both Belong To Me!
L.A. Day has outdone herself once again with another amazing tale of sexual romance. THEY BOTH BELONG TO ME tells story of three people who learn to express their love toward one other. It opens the heart of a lonely woman to the hearts of brooding heroes. Jill makes their trio of hearts complete. Johann, Talon and Jill bring to life a new sexual relationship that develops into a permanent lifetime relationship. It was very intriguing finding out just who first said that you both belong to me. It sure gave me the chills in a very good way.

I have nothing but praise for L.A. Day and her latest enchantment. It is a completely original sexual romance. I am glad to see the romance began earlier in the story than her previous stories. Fans will be enthralled just as much as I am.

I give this a rating of 5 Moonbeams.

13 things I’ve learned about witchcraft and Wiccan’s during research. (This is subjective and there are many variations of redes, laws and practices.)

1. The Wiccan Rede:
An it harm none, do what ye will.

2. The Threefold Law.
"Mind the Threefold Law you should,
Three times bad and three times good."

The eight Sabbats:
3. Samhain
4. Winter Solstice
5. Imbolc
6. Vernal Equinox
7. Beltane
8. Summer Solstice
9. Lammas
10. Fall Equinox

11. Pantacle or pentagram: a five-pointed star which is just a symbol of five elements of nature, earth, water, air, fire and spirit.

12. WARLOCK: Warlock is sometimes wrongly used these days used as the term for male witches. But men who practice witchcraft as a religion generally prefer to be referred to as witches or Wicca’s. Warlock comes from the old English "wer loga" and means enemy, traitor, liar, etc. The word Warlock became associated with one who had made a pact with the devil.

13. Cauldron: The witch’s cauldron is a tool of witches. The Cauldron is usually made of iron. In the witch lore of middle ages the cauldron was where poisons, ointments and philters were brewed. Neo-Pagan witches still use the cauldron burning fies and incense in rituals.

One week to go!

Some of you know that my daughter plays volleyball for her middle school varsity team. To date they are undefeated. They were crowned regular season champs this week and next Saturday is the tournament. I enjoy the game. It is wonderful to watch my daughter play a game that she loves but enough is enough. They have only had one day off in the last two weeks and this week is no better.

The past week was especially stresssful. The girls are fighting amoung themselves and basically driving everyone insane. I guess it's their age.

Am I a horrible mother to say I'll be glad when the season is over?

5 Lips & a Recommended Read for Feral Lust!

5 Lips and a Recommended Read for Feral Lust from Tara Renee @ TwoLips
Feral Lust has to be one of the most erotic and passionate tales by LA Day that I have ever read. Leon’s passion towards Riza is a different emotion than he is used to feeling for women and this difference in emotions gives him an appeal that I loved. Riza is actually a very vulnerable woman who risks her heart on Leon only to have it broken. My heart bled for her when Leon messes up. There is an intense scene where Leon shares Riza with two other men in order to prove her worth to her pack. It will leave readers breathless and tingly! Feral Lust is the sequel to Feral Domination but it stands on its own. I do recommend reading Feral Domination though, as it too is a wonderful read. I can hardly wait to read more about Ms. Day’s shifters.

Thursday Thirteen #14

This week I decided to list 13 of my favorite review snippets. (Not in any order!)

1. “Sin is an absolutely to-die-for story that I kept hoping would increase in length as I was reading it. L.A. Day packs a lot into 23 pages, and the love scenes are absolutely spectacular, generating enough heat to keep you warm long after you’ve finished reading them. I love that Sara and Cein have a history because stories about second chances are inspirational – especially when they’re this hot!” Reviewed by Kerin @ Two Lips Reviews

2. “Undercover Pleasure Droid is one of a kind. I truly have never read anything like it before. Much kudos for the original writing talent, L.A. Day has. I give this a rating of 5 Moonbeams.” Reviewed by Veronica at Strictly Romance.

3. “Ms.Day captivates with her creative plot and talent for keeping the reader glued to their seat. I felt like a part of the story. The descriptive way she weaves the words made the story both vibrant and sensual. The scenery came alive making it feel as though I were thrust into her book. The characters are well developed and were interesting. I will definitely look for more from Ms.Day!” Reviewed by Jenifer at Coffee Time Romance

4. “When I read the title Double Penetration many things ran through my mind. What I thought this story was about was totally opposite. I must say that author L.A. Day came up with a unique title for this fantastic paranormal novella. Double Penetration had it all – from the lustful, naughty sexual encounters to a thrilling, suspenseful storyline. I found Shannon and Grey to be a well suited couple and complimented each other very well. I took great pleasure in reading this novel, so much so, that I quickly devoured it in one setting. And, like me upon completion of this story you will be wishing for your own Double Penetration. Enjoy!”
Reviewed by: Contessa@ FAR

5. “Feral Domination was a super fast read. From page one L.A. Day had me enthralled with the story of Gionne and Jenna. I loved the how she brought more than one type of shape shifter into the story and how spicy the love scenes were. If you enjoy a lot of fire and domination in your books this is the one for you.” Reviewed by Tammie @ Night Owl Romance

6. “In this futuristic short story Ms. Day delivers! This is a fast paced erotic story that proves that there is someone out there for everyone. I love how she was able to tie everything together at the end and did not feel like it was rushed or thrown together.” Reviewed by Catherine Smith @ PNR

7. “FERAL DOMINATION is a fast paced, highly charged erotic romance. The interaction between Jenna and Gionne is off the charts. Author L.A. Day has written a winner in FERAL DOMINATION. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.” Reviewed by Gloria Gehres @ TRRC

8. “This is a great short erotic story. The prose is sensual, but not crude, blunt without being insulting and all in all very erotic. I love Cein and wish I had him for myself. Ms. Day has penned herself a winner and I urge you to buy it. That is if you are looking for a sensual, erotic love story with a happy ending that will leave you with a tear in your eye.” Reviewed by Shara @ My Book Cravings

9. “Jenna is one tough kitty, and Gio a very alpha wolf. Together they burn up the pages of this intriguing story. There is an orgy/ménage scene that will leave you breathless. The story is engaging and will keep you turning the pages.” Said Nicole Austin.

10. “This is a well-written story, with wonderful characters. I loved Shannon and Grey from the beginning and found myself anxiously turning the pages. I would recommend this story to anyone looking for a touching, hot read. I look forward to reading more by this talented writer.” Reviewer: Sandra @TRS

11. “L.A. Day brings to light the influence that society has on beliefs and norms and the negative impact it can have on its citizens. The beautiful love story between Eliza and Bruton never should have been which only adds to its glory and sense of rightness. When it comes to Eliza, Bruton is anything but a barbarian - his soul is gentle and full of love and passion for her. Bruton is definitely the type of alpha male any woman would want in her bed and Eliza is a strong, noble woman that any woman should want to emulate. Together they are a memorable couple that you can't help but become attached to. I thoroughly enjoyed Barbarian Mate and highly recommend reading it!” Kerin @ Two Lips Reviews

12. “This is definitely one of the most all out sexy stories I’ve read this year. The author pens a fabulous tale of young love, heartbreak, second chances, betrayal, and true love. And don’t forget sex – there are so many sex scenes in this book, you might as well go sit in a tub of ice! That being said, Ms. Day doesn’t skimp on explaining what drives the characters. The reader will understand the emotions behind the actions. Please remember this book does feature ménage scenes that are very tastefully written as a natural part of the wolf and lupine packs. I sense we will read more about these packs and I will be looking forward to the future books.” Reviewer: Lisa Freeman @ TRS

13.“Feral Lust was a great addition to this series and it was super hot. Did I say hot – I meant scorching hot! L.A. Day pulls another wonderful book out of her story basket and I can’t wait to see who is on the love block next. L.A. never disappoints and you will away come away feeling good and happy till the very last word.” Tammie @ Night Owl Romance

Thursday Thirteen #13

My lovely daughter turned 13 on Tuesday so this Thursday Thirteen is dedicated to her. Below find 13 wonderful memories with my daughter. Not necessarily in order!

1. The day she was born. It was Sunday afternoon, August 28, 1994.
2. Her first word. I tried so hard to get her to say Daddy but her first word was dog. She loved our dog from the first time she was able to turn her head and look at him.
3. Her first steps were at her Nana’s house. She was 10 months old.
4. The first time she really laughed. There is nothing like the laughter of a baby.
5. Her first day of school. She was so excited but I cried.
6. The day when she was three years old and she came with her father to pick me up at the airport. I’d been gone over night and I really missed her. She wore a dress because she was excited to have me come home. At that stage, she was refusing to wear dresses.
7. When my mom was alive, she spoiled my daughter rotten. One day we were at a store and she wanted something. I don’t remember what it was but I said no. Of course, my mom bought it anyway. As soon as Mom gave it to my daughter, she smiled at her and said, “sucker”. I’m not sure how old she was but she was young. All I could do was laugh.
8. Every day my daughter still kisses me goodbye in the morning and goodnight as she goes to bed. I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
9. Rocking her to step when she was a baby. Then just holding her and watching her breathe.
10. Playing I love you more, when she was little. She would keep it up forever. Sometimes I can still get her to do it.
11. Teaching her to read. Unfortunately, she didn’t inherit my love of reading but she is an excellent reader.
12. The day she cut a bunch of my flowers and brought them to me as a bouquet. I couldn’t be mad at her.
13. It’s almost impossible to pick out 13 favorite memories. Every day, every hug, every kiss is special. I cherish every moment with her. (Well, almost every moment )

Life as I know it is over!

Today my baby girl turns 13! I'm not sure where the time has gone just yesterday she started school or it seems that way. Now, she's a young lady and a beautiful young lady too. I can only imagine the horrors of the next few years. My husband is considering leaving home until she turns 21. I almost feel sorry for her future boyfriends for I know he'll grill them to no end.

She is our one and only daughter and we've love to keep her young forever. Baring that I'd like to fast forward to her finishing college, getting married and producing grandchildren.

I can wish, I do write fantasy afterall.

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, "Who's on First?" might have turned out something like this:

42 and counting!

Today is my birthday! What have I learned in 42 years? Well, I've learned alot but most of it is useless or can't be mentioned here
I have learned that life goes on even when you don't want it to.
If you are ambitious enough you can make your dreams reality.
If you get up on the wrong side of the bed. Lay back down and try it again.

Most importantly, I've learned that without family and friends you have nothing. (This includes my online friends.)
