Temptations of Desire, by Tempeste O’Riley Desires Entwined, #3   Today Tempeste O’Riley stops by to talk about book three of her Desires Entwined series, Temptations of Desire.   Good morning, Andrew Q. Gordon and my lovely readers! I thought I’d do something a little different today. I’m talking about body perceptions in connection to Temptations of Desire, my newest release in the Desires Entwined series. You see, Dal is 6’2”, very muscular, loves bikes, leather, has pale skin with little toffee colored freckles on the bridge of his nose and upper cheeks, and is a cop, so very masculine / butch, right? Well, other than the cute little freckles, at lease 😉

Georgia Knights, by Julia Talbot Blurb: When anthropologist Georgia Cortez heads to rural Georgia from New Mexico, she’s on the trail of a juicy old legend. Haley Falls seems like just the place for old-time ghost stories and spooky hauntings, but she’s on the hunt for something far rarer, a survival of an old sect of medieval knights. Caid and Alton are Haley Fall natives, and they used to be best friends. A falling out years ago ended in them not speaking, even after Alt left town and returned older, if not wiser. They unite when it comes to a nosy scholar like Georgia picking apart their heritage, and putting their whole town in danger. When boys meet girl, though, they …

 Free Fiction Friday: September 26, 2014: After a couple weeks off to deal with some family issues, I’m back this week. Hopefully this will the start of a good run. 😀 Second Shot – The Senior Year: Chapter 37 “I’m telling you he’s acting weird.” Blake lifted his shirt and wiped the sweat from his eyes. Dean didn’t bother with modesty and pulled his shirt over his head and used it to dry his face and neck. He bent over and grabbed his knees. “You’ve been running with my brother, haven’t you?” The accusation wasn’t the response he expected. “Yeah. Why?” “Cause you pick spots and run intervals like him. I hate that.” “They’re good for you.” Having hated them at …

  Author Interview: Will Parkinson About a year ago I had the chance to ‘met’ Will Parkinson when he’d released his first novel – Pitch. So when the chance to be part of the Wet Paint blog tour came up, I took it.  This time, I got him to ‘sit down’ and answer a few questions about himself, writing and of course his latest release.  There’s a video trailer for the book, an excerpt and a giveaway so keep reading until the end for a chance to enter. Welcome Will, though most people know you, why don’t you start by telling everyone a bit about yourself anyway? I live in Milwaukee, WI with my four dogs, three cats, and one husband. For the …

Today I get to welcome my friend and fellow Wayward Ink Publishing Author – Taylin Clavelli – to my blog. Taylin will have the distinction of having the first novel published by Wayward Ink Publishing. We’re/I’m super excited about the release so read on and learn a bit more about Taylin and her book. Why write an American Western? Since I can remember, I’ve loved watching westerns on TV. Champion The Wonder Horse, The Lone Ranger, and Bonanza was my Saturday morning viewing. The 1969 film True Grit was amazing, and I loved John Wayne for his ballsy acting, but mostly for his superb horsemanship. Even though I have forgotten many of the movie titles, I still remember the stars …
