What Does 2015 Hold?

I've neglected my blog and social media profiles for a bit now. I was hoping to use the last two months of this year to write a new novella, but I haven't written in a loooong time.

Thanksgiving, promotions during the months of November and December, along with the general hectic pace of the holiday season, dashed all hope of any form of productivity from me.

The good thing is, I have lots of story ideas...and now I'm trying to prioritize my writing time for next year. This is the perfect time for goal-setting, and my hope is to get as many of those ideas into books as possible in 2015.

I'll resume my Tempting Tuesday posts in early January and by February I hope to have a work-in-progress to share with my blogging audience. I'm looking forward to a lot of things in 2015, like the arrival of flying cars and hooverboards ;)

Seriously, here's to a safe New Year's, having someone to kiss at midnight and remembering not to drink too much champagne!

Tempting Tuesday--Suit and Tie Edition

As much as I love seeing men out of their clothes, there's also an undeniable sexiness seeing a man all buttoned up in a suit and tie. This week's Tempting Tuesday pays homage to men in pressed suits and shirts.

Few men look hotter than Ian in a tux.

Those eyes, those lips...that suit. SWOON!

There's something about a man in a tux.

Of course, since this is MY BLOG and I'm all about the skin...I had to show a little bit!

See you next Tuesday :)

My Sexy Saturday ~ #MSS68 I'm Too Sexy ~ Pulse by @AuthorAriel

It's that time again, time for My Sexy Saturday. http://mysexysaturday.blogspot.com/

I am participating in this hop again this week. This is the 68th week and the theme is I'm Too Sexy. In the excerpt, I'm giving readers a little taste of the sexy heroine Eve. She's a sex blogger and as such, she dresses in a sexy, stylish way, as you'll see.


Today I'm sharing 7 sentences from my short erotic romance Pulse.


Here's the blurb:

Eve Parker never expects to be turned on by a man who comments on her erotic blog Pulse.

After chatting online with the sensual Mr. G for a week, she breaks her rule about dating random strangers from the internet.

Once they meet face to face, Eve is captivated by the enigmatic man.

When the handsome Mr. G reveals his true identity—a vampire with the power to control her body and mind—she believes the magnetic pull between them may be an act of fate.






Here's my sexy 7:

“How did a good girl like you get started writing about sex?”

“Who says I’m a good girl?” I asked with a flick of my hair.

I ran my hand down the front of my dress. Apparently animal print was

what they made matronly clothing out of now. And here I’d thought my outfit

screamed sexpot, not librarian.

“Oh, make no misunderstanding, I think you’re a very good girl…but I

can also tell you have a wild side. There’s no mistaking what’s written in those

eyes of yours.”

Want more? You're just one-click away from this super sexy romance!

Only .99 at Amazon Kindle, Kindle UK, B&N and All Romance eBooks.
