Love Your Red Hair Day!

This is a personally fitting day since I'm a natural red-head...strawberry blonde to be precise. My hair had that tendency to have blonde highlights in the summer. In the winter, when I was less outside, it leaned more toward auburn. But with age, comes a new color -- Gray. Red heads tend to turn gray slower that other colors, but it doesn't mean the silver strands aren't there, so now-a-days, my hair color comes out of a Nice-n-Easy hair-coloring box. I do stick to coloring my hair the shade closest to my natural color.

National Chocolate Cupcake Day

Now this is my kind of holiday.
I love chocolate cupcakes....cake...candy...deserts...well, anything chocolate. But the cupcake is the best. I like to make the mini ones so I can pop the whole thing in my mouth.

Here's to the best National Chocolate Cupcake Day ever!


National Boss Day

National Boss Day is about, appreciating your boss.

I'm my own boss and I don't have employee's. That's what happens when you're a writer. But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate myself. 

Do you have a boss? Are you going to show them your appreciation?

Halloween Websites 2016

So the same old story I tell every year as I update the list of sites:
     I was born on Halloween, so I naturally favor that day. My birthday parties always had fun Halloween related activities like dunking for apples and carving jack o'lanterns. And every wore a costume. I was ALWAYS a witch, or at least as far back as I can remember. But I'm sure my mother dressed me in other costumes when I was very little. On my 18th birthday, I ended my days of trick-or-treating with one last outing. After that, I was the one at the door greeting the ghouls and goblins and witches.

I still love Halloween and I love to see what everyone else is doing for decorations. Pinterest has been one of my go to sites for inspiration. But I also visit a lot of other Halloween oriented sites. If yours isn't on my list, feel free to add it in the comment box so I can visit.




New Release: CAPTAIN SIN'S MERCY, by Brenda Williamson


Captain Sin's Mercy
by Brenda Williamson

Available from: Amazon

Lady Mercy James takes adventure to new heights when she sets out to prove to her bitter grandmother that a man can want her. However, her passionate, one night of indiscretion with a handsome sea captain, not only leaves her aching for love, but pregnant. And then sadly, the baby’s gone, and she has to find a way to deal with her grief.

Rogue English pirate, Captain Sin wants a woman to warm his bed, not his heart. Yet, after meeting Mercy, his emotions begin to melt the hardness of his resolve. While her beauty stimulates his lust, her generous spirit arouses long buried sentiments of love, which he had abandoned by returning to the sea until fate brings the lover’s together again.

Threatened by the return of his overwhelming fear of commitment, he denies himself the joy of the lady’s affections, and fails to appreciate how much he can miss a her, until he makes a grave error in judgment, by trading the love of his life for an island paradise.


National Donut Day!



Yes, that's right. Today is National Donut Day. It's celebrated on the first Friday of June each year. This is my first year of hearing about it, but it's been celebrated since 1938 and was created by the Salvation Army to to honor the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I.

My favorite donuts come from Dunkin' Donuts, unfortunately, we don't have one around my neck of the woods, but in my travels, I seldom pass one without stopping and getting a dozen or two. My donut place stand in is Walmart. I know, Walmart isn't a donut connoisseur's dream, but they have some good chocolate iced donuts.

I'm not crazy about a lot of Krispy Kreme donuts, simply because their glaze is too sweet and they put it on too many varieties. However, since I do like donuts and can't resist even mediocre ones, I buy the Chocolate Iced Glazed Cruellers. To a Christmas time gathering, someone brought a couple dozen varities of Krispy Kreme's donut from one of their locations, and I found that I really loved the Chocolate Iced Custurd Filled ones. So Krispy Kreme does have a chance at winning me over.

So where do you get your donut fix?

How to make Mead in the early 1800's

I collect old, old, old books and I always fine interesting things to read about. Here's the recipe (or Receipts as they call it) for mead, which is one of the oldest alcoholic drinks there is. Depending on how long you let it ferment determines it's strength. But after making, it's ready to drink after 24 hours.

MEAD

3 gallons of water
5 pounds of honey
2 egg whites
*
1/4 tsp cinnamon
a pinch of ginger
a pinch of mace
10 cloves
a spring of rosemary
*
a Tablespoon of brewer's yeast


Whisk eggs into the water. Then put egg water and honey in a large pot and bring to a boil for 1 hour.
Add the spices. Wait until the mixture is cool and add the yeast. Stir well. Cover with a cloth and let sit for 24 hours.

Drink and Be Merry!


New Release: DARE ME, by Brenda Williamson



Dare Me


Available from Amazon


Caught up in a game of Truth or Dare, Laura finds herself in a nightclub, dressed in next to nothing clothes, and nervously awaiting her turn to perform in a pole dancing contest, when her old boyfriend, handsome Mark Cantrell appears on the stage with his new bride. Upset by long buried emotions, Laura wants to run for home, however, jealously roots her in place.

When a twist is thrown into the competition and she has to have a man to perform with her, she feels relieved she’ll not go on, until Mark volunteers to be her partner. Unable to decline, and spellbound by his sexy moves, Laura puts her all into the sexy routine. Then it ends, and embarrassment overwhelms her.

Attempting to flee the nightclub and rush to the sanctity of home, she is surprised by Mark’s offer to drive her, abandoning his wife into his brother’s care. Desperate to feel loved, she accepts, and then struggles with the right and wrong of her plan to seduce a married man.

In the end, Laura loses the battle with her conscience, hoping she can live with the guilt come morning as she welcomes Mark into her bed for a passionate night of sex.

EXCERPT:

Bev handed me a bottle of beer. “You better drink this, Laura.”
Were her instincts just as wired to what was about to happen as mine were? She had glasses on, maybe her eyesight was better. Could she see the faces in the darkness at the back of the stage.
“Mark has been living way out west for several years—” Paul continued, nailing down my suspicions.
“Six,” I muttered, rounding to the nearest year, even though I knew how many months and days as well.
“He went to college out there and liked it so much, he stayed,” Paul added.
“Did you know he was going to be here?” I asked Bev, never looking away from the stage.
“I swear, Laura, I had no idea.” She grabbed my arm. “Is that his wife?”
I leaned back against the bar for support. In silence, I stared at the couple emerging from the shadows. My gaze locked onto the girl first. Five-foot tall, if even that. She wasn’t what I expected. Her petite frame had the slender lines of a dancer. Trim legs, narrow torso, somewhat flat-chested. Mark always said he liked my curves and my full breasts. Now I wondered what to trust of our past together.
Avoiding Mark, I tried to continue concentrating on the female leaching onto his arm. It didn’t work. I had to look, to find out if he had changed. Slowly, from head to toe, I devoured the sight of him. Under the sultry lighting, he looked good—too sexy for the girl with the pixie haircut.
His dark brown hair was shorter, his moustache gone, but he had a scruffy shadow of whiskers that showed he hadn’t shaved for several days. In black slacks and a gray striped dress shirt, he had the look of a successful executive of…something. I wished I knew what profession had attracted him after college. He had majored in business management and finance, but he didn’t know where that would take him. I had stuck to my goal and worked in real estate development.
My attention, drawn back to the girl who should have been me with Mark, I watched Meg. Her simple routine consisted of some twirls and prancing and Mark’s movements flowed naturally with hers. He was always a terrific dancer. His different grips on her became more sexually explicit. The motion of him humping her ass and his air caresses gliding a mere inch from her body was hard to watch. Then he put his hands on Meg’s hips and playfully pretended to tug her from the pole. Their act was good, but her laughter was too high-pitched. It made me cringe. It made men in the crowd hoot with pleasure.
Twinges of jealousy inside me worsened. Mark always said he hated girls who giggled too loud. When had that changed? Were we never right for each other?
The playful performance between Mark and his wife became too much to bear. I spun around to rip up the entry form. No way was I going on that stage and humiliate myself in front of his diminutive doll-like bride.
I slapped my hand down on the wood surface as if I were blind to seeing a sheet of paper. “Where is it?” I cried weakly, looking up and down the bar, spotting nothing except beer bottles and drinking glasses on small white napkins.
“What are you looking for?” Bev asked.
“That entry sheet. I’ve change my mind.”
“You can’t change your mind. They’ve already taken that paper away and given it to Paul to make the announcements.”
A round of loud howling and hollering forced me to glance at the stage. Meg’s beaming smile showed how well she felt she had performed. In my mind, she was already a winner.
“Here, drink this.” Bev shoved a small glass into my hand.
I gulped down the whiskey shot while looking at Mark. He had that “aw shucks, anyone could have done it” expression he had always had after an amazing catch during a high school football game.
Then his gaze landed on me. His expression changed.
Turn away. Turn away. Turn away. I couldn’t.
Trapped by the happy twinkle in his blues eyes and a smile that seemed meant for only me, I stood helpless. That old feeling of love had me in its clutches. Was Mark experiencing the same sort of déjà vu? He stared at me with a similar spellbound stillness like an animal trapped by the lights of oncoming traffic. Then he went further with his intense look. He stripped me naked, not literally, but thoroughly. His gaze rolled downward as he traced the rim of his lips with his tongue. He paused at my breasts. Did he see my nipples harden, denting out the fabric of my bikini top? I put a hand to my chest as I took a deep breath. The feel of my denim jacket reminded me he couldn’t see what I was wearing underneath. It didn’t mean I hadn’t imagined the feel of his tongue pressed against my breast, massaging the ache in the stiffened tips.
Trembling, I squeezed my knees together to fend off the sharp twitches releasing moisture and damping my panties. It was awful the way he had the capability to stir an orgasm from me with his lustful perusal of my body.
“Do you see the way he’s eyeing you?” Bev whispered. “That’s not the kind of look a married man gives another woman if he’s in love with his wife.”
I had noticed. My heart rate had elevated several notches. I struggled to breathe evenly. More importantly, I tried to remember how to act normal. “Who?” I asked, pretending ignorance might get a grip on my sanity.
The cheering of the crowd died down to idle chatter, yet Mark and Meg remained on the stage. Meg finally took the initiative and grabbed Mark’s arm, attempting to pull him away. He didn’t go quite so willingly. He stumbled back, keeping eye contact with me. Meg didn’t seem to notice. I could see how she probably though his reluctance was a form of stage fright or something.
“I can’t do it, Bev.”
“Yes, you can. You have to. You have to show up that mousy wife of his and make him regret he didn’t come back to town for you.”
Bev rubbed my arm reassuringly. Here I had thought she had believed I didn’t think of Mark anymore. Her words broke that illusion. I wanted to thank her for playing along with my need to bury my head in the sand about my feelings for him. However, I had to face my current dilemma.
Running from the place seemed a good idea right then. But a part of me agreed with Bev. It was because Mark had showed interest that I didn’t bolt. I needed to get up on that stage and flaunt my assets—show him what he was missing. Make him hurt, as I was hurting.

Dogging, by Brenda Williamson



Dogging

Julian’s hot for his friend’s sister, Tabitha, and the feeling is mutual. One dinner and they’re ready to jump each other. Only Julian’s a bit more reserved when it comes to where he wants to have sex with the vixen making all the moves. An old-fashioned fellow, especially in relationships, he’s more than surprised when Tabitha wants to take him dogging— a trend that involves a group of people having public sex.

Tabitha’s been hurt by love, and sexy Julian looks to be the cure for her wounded soul, but the temporary fix she wants gets out of hand when his emotions, and hers, begin to join. Running from his sappy sentiments seems a good choice, until Julian displays his heroics in protecting her against an old boyfriend. Then what’s a girl to do to avoid commitment? Especially when she prefers dogging, and to Julian, more than two is a crowd.

Available at: Amazon

EXCERPT:

Julian Devlet took a quick look at the steamy windows of the car sitting along the curb in the park. He noted the movement in the backseat. There was no guessing at what was going on by the way the car rocked. He’d spent a time or two in his teenage years doing the same thing, except he kept it private—in out of the way places, not in the public’s line of sight.

Shaking his head, he sped up, hoping the shortcut kept him from being late for a dinner engagement. According to his watch, he hit the parking lot on time. He got out, shut the car door and leaned to look at his reflection in the side-view mirror. Flicking several locks of hair back, he ran his fingers through them, combing the strays into place. The romantic couple behind the foggy glass brought back memories of some good times. He still had the looks after ten years, just not the ambition to have sex while straddling a girl and a stick shift.

Julian walked toward the entrance of the upscale restaurant. All evening, getting showered and dressed made him nervous. This was a night unlike others. He made a decent living, but bills always managed to suck the cash from his grasp. Extracting his wallet, he checked the contents. If the money wasn’t enough, there was always the credit card.

He went through the door and stopped in front of the hostess.

“Can I help you?” She smiled.

“I’m here to meet Derek Sutton.”

“Right this way, sir.”

He followed the woman, looking beyond her to see what his co-worker, Derek Sutton’s sister looked like. Derek said this was just a casual thing, but he sensed a set up.

Julian stopped next to the table.

“Hey. There you are.” Derek jumped up. “I was wondering if you might have changed your mind.”

Julian glanced at Derek’s sister. Her expression didn’t give him a clue as to what her first thoughts were at seeing him. He felt he was attractive, and he certainly had the body. However, who knew what a woman wanted? He’d seen guys not up to par in the looks department date some beautiful ladies.

“Tabitha, this is Julian.” Derek made the brief introduction to his sister, while waving at a waiter to come to their table.

“Hello, Tabitha.” Julian took the hand she offered, giving it a firm, yet gentle shake. After letting go, he eased into the seat next to her.

She flashed him a warm, breathtaking smile. Her “hi” was an enchanting sound. The radiant glow in her green eyes gripped his attention.

Never having met any of Derek’s family in the short time since they’d become friends, he had no idea how beautiful Tabitha was going to be when he agreed to the dinner. While he had considered declining Derek’s offer of a meal and good conversation, Julian was happy he chose to accept.

When Tabitha glanced down at the menu that she opened, it left Julian helplessly gawking. While he never had trouble getting a date, girls like her, the prettier, the bossier were out of his range of interest. He preferred a less complicated life.

“What would you folks like to drink?” the waiter asked.

“I’ll have iced tea,” Derek announced.

Tabitha glanced at Julian and licked her lips. “I’ll have the same. I need something tasty and wet on this scorching hot night.”

“Yeah, me too,” Julian croaked, spellbound by the vixen’s sensual display.

His raspy voice cracked. Tabitha laughed—not a harsh, insulting sort of a sound, but rather a nervous giggle. He didn’t believe for a minute she was apprehensive about meeting him. There had to be something else she found amusing.

The waiter left before Julian realized what he ordered. He didn’t like tea. Something in Tabitha’s green-eyed gaze had turned his brain to mush, especially when her tongue made a pass across her top lip. He would have ordered a beer. But watching her lick her lip led him to imagining dragging his tongue over any part of Tabitha’s svelte body. It gave him a mega hard-on and he shifted on his chair to readjust the pressure of his balls in the tight fitting jeans.

Stealing another glance, he found her looking his way. He smiled, she smiled. Then she wet her bottom lip this time, and pulled it between her teeth. The movement was driving him crazy.

Tabitha resumed studying the menu. She had his full attention, and she knew it, so he scrutinized every detail of her features. Not a blemish marked her oval face. She had a perfect nose, gorgeous blue eyes and a mouth he couldn’t stop staring at or fantasizing about.

When her pink tongue peeked out from between her parted lips, his whole body heated another notch. She swished it around the rim of her mouth as if she were thirsty, forcing him to reach down and adjust the crotch of his jeans. She looked toward his movement.

Brazen was a lightweight word to describe Tabitha. While she made him nervous, a bit out of his league, it didn’t stop his cock from jolting against the constraints of his pants. His mind took another deviant turn. If Tabitha were as agreeable as she obviously appeared to be, he’d be delighted to give her something to drink.

The waiter set a glass in front of him. He ignored the man, not wanting to miss a moment of checking out Tabitha. Initial meetings were all about first impressions. However, they were also very revealing about a person’s character. Minutes into the casual dinner with a friend, he already liked Tabitha’s personality and began hoping he was being set up on a date with her.

She lifted an ice cube from her glass and rubbed it up and down her neck beneath her chin. “It’s so hot tonight,” she murmured. “Are you hot, Julian?”

Was he nodding too fast? And was it wrong to find her brazenness in front of her brother outrageously sexy?

“Hey.” Derek nudged him. “What do want to eat?”

Your sister’s pussy. Not paying attention, he didn’t know if he voiced the thought aloud. His gaze flew to Derek’s face for a reaction. His friend didn’t bat an eye.

Julian took a deep breath, relaxing from the narrow escape of having his nose punched in.
Sometimes, he had the best fantasies at the worst times. With Derek as a third wheel he didn’t expect he had to watch what he said and what he did.

“Oh, leave him alone, Derek. Maybe he needs more time to decide what he really wants to eat.”
Tabitha leaned toward Julian.

Without thought, he looked down into her blouse at the soft swells of the firm breasts she wet with her ice cube.

“Then I’ll give you a few minutes.” The waiter’s annoyed grunt faded as he walked away.

Julian lifted his eyes and watched Tabitha’s emerald irises twinkle brighter. She came closer. Had she read his mind? Were her words as suggestive as they sounded? Did she want him as much as he lusted for her?

Probably not.

She tapped the menu on the table in front of him. “It might help if you open this up, Julian.”

He loved the sound of his name caressed by her voice. Picking up the menu, he selected the first thing he saw. Food was not as appetizing as the idea of licking every inch of Tabitha’s pussy, lapping up the sweet cream he’d force to spill from between her thighs. Given half a chance, he’d savor every drop.

“All decided?” She batted her long lashes in that flirty way girls thought they had to do to get a guy’s attention.

She had him captivated. “Uh-huh,” he answered, the sound stuck partway.

“Good. There’s this club I belong to and I don’t want to be late.” She scooted her chair closer to him and put a hand on his thigh. “You’d like to go, wouldn’t you?”

Surprised by her forward move, he started his reply with a nod.

Her foot slid along the outside of his leg and stroked several times, making no mistake about her provocative actions up to that point.

“Sure.” He lifted a brow at Derek’s burst of laughter. “What? I like going to clubs.”

“It ain’t a nightclub she’s talking about.” Derek had a jokester’s grin that made Julian suddenly wary.

“Oh?” He stared at his friend, wondering what was so damned funny.

“Tell me, Julian.” Tabitha’s hand rubbed dangerously close to the bulge his cock made in the pant leg she continued to run her fingers along. “You do like sex, don’t you?”

Millions of nerves tingled throughout his tense body. “Um, yeah, sure.” What kind of question was that? Was she serious? He actually waited for Derek to laugh hysterically.

“Then it’s settled.” Tabitha patted his leg and took her hand away.

He hated to see it go, but it was a good thing. At any moment, he was going to have an orgasm, and once started, there was no chance of retreating from the explosion. Not many women made him hot enough to cum in his pants.

Derek never expressed a “gotcha”, so Julian had to assume Tabitha was on the up and up. Before he could ask questions about the club, the waiter returned with a basket of buttered rolls. He took their order for food and disappeared again.

“Mmmm, I love warm things in my mouth.” Tabitha gave Julian a wink and smile.

She picked up a roll and took a large bite. The melted butter shined her lips and she made that whisking movement again with her tongue over them. Julian watched her lick them clean. He shuddered, imagining the tip swabbing the sensitive spot under the head of his cock.

“This is so good.” She tilted toward him and held the roll to his mouth. “Try it.”

He chomped into the bread without looking and nearly took off her finger.

She jerked her hand back. “Easy boy, we’ll get you some real food.”

She pushed the bread toward his mouth. He tried taking a small nibble. However, Tabitha shoved the whole thing in. Before he had the chance to chew, she rubbed his lips with her fingertips, wiping away the butter. Her touch lingered, gently moving as if she were an artist painting his lips.

He almost groaned when she pulled her hand away. Then she poked her finger into her own mouth.
The exaggerated sucking sound she made pushed him toward choking when he tried swallowing the lump of bread.

Damn, she’s sexy. He gulped the food down.

Throughout dinner, Julian watched her. He tried to act as if he didn’t, and he appreciated the way she pretended not to catch him. But there was no way to resist her. Everything she did during the meal made him relate it to a sexual act. In some ways, he felt like a letch, a perv, a damn silly moron.
When had his cool nature vanished? Had the geek in him finally emerged? Tabitha was making him a blithering idiot.

Derek did most of the talking, which was good. Anxious like an alley cat hunting for a mate,
Tabitha’s teasing rub of Julian’s leg rendered him mute. Several times throughout dinner, she rested her hand on his thigh, raking the talons of her nails in a teasing closeness to his poor tortured cock.

He tried imaging what kind of club she planned to take him to where she needed to know if he liked sex. When the word bondage came up in the conversation between Derek and his sister, Julian gagged on the piece of steak he gulped down too fast. His eyes went wide and he stared at his plate.
He could deal with kink, but who would be the one tied up?

“Are you all right?” Tabitha stood and patted him on the back.

“Fine,” he wheezed.

“Here, take a drink.” She picked up his glass and held it to his lips.

The tea burned going down, and he strained to squelch the start of another fit of coughing. Tabitha’s concern really marked the dinner with a special moment.
