For my latest e-book, Gillian's Place.
And Diana at Night Owl Romance says it's a keeper!
That should keep my heart light for a while.

So…
I now have two OK votes for Gillian's Place over at Fictionwise.
Got to admit to being a little disappointed at that.
However I know why.
It's listed as Erotic/Romance. Although the stories in it are erotic at spots they're not meant to be stroke pieces. And they're not typical romances. There's no alpha male CEOs with hot bodies or buxom, feisty female executives in it, to use one trope. It's every day people facing problems everyday people face. So I can understand why some people might not find it to their taste.
Still, they're damned good stories and you should buy a copy. ;)

In a somewhat cynical mood
So I'm going to rant a little.
Most people don't want freedom. They don't want justice. They don't want peace or happiness or wealth or love.
They want their own way.
That isn't the same thing.
I'm done. Carry on.

For no other reason
Than I want to keep this blog active I'll let everyone know that Gillian's Place is available for your reading pleasure.
I got a vote on it at Fictionwise yesterday. An 'OK' vote. Don't people recognize good literature when they read it? ;)
And as long as I'm here, I'll post an excerpt for it. Enjoy.

Marian was standing in the entrance to the hall. She was dressed only in the orange slip from that day over two years before. Her hands were holding the hem as if to lift it and reveal herself to him. A small, wicked smile played on her lips.
“Good God,” Frank managed to choke out.
“I see you remember that day,” Marian noted, her smile growing a little.
“It’s never far from my mind.”
“I’ve remembered that time every day since. I saw you looking at me with that lust burning in your eyes. Ralph had never done it. It felt so good to be wanted so badly. If I wasn’t such an honest woman I would have had you take me right then.”
“For a second, I wanted to take you right there. But I couldn’t. You were my friend, and married. Troubled or not, I couldn’t let you risk that.”
Marian nodded. “That was my thought too. But it was so hard. That’s why I didn’t visit for a while. I didn’t think I would be strong enough to say no. If I hadn’t missed your friendship so much, I would never have come over again.
“But I did miss you. When I finally went back to your house for coffee, it was because I wanted my friend back. And I was prepared at that point to be your lover as well if that’s what it took. I was so relieved when you didn’t, and a little disappointed too. I saw you wanted me. I liked being wanted again.”
Frank felt himself relax, and his manhood harden. Marian’s honesty was allowing him to slip the tight bonds he had put on his feelings for so long.
“Marian, I did want you. But if I had followed my wants, we both would have regretted it. Neither of us thought adultery was a good thing. Sooner or later, our guilt over doing it would have destroyed our friendship. I would rather have had a friend forever than a lover for a year.”
Marian moved on bare feet towards him. “We don’t need to worry about that anymore.”
“But it will still change things.”
“I don’t care!” she replied with vehemence. “I want you, Frank. I want you now! We’ll survive this night. Changed or not, we’ll have each other, as we have all these years. As we always will.”
She sat on his lap, straddling his hips. For a second he could see the dark triangle between her legs. Reaching for his fly, she unzipped it, then pulled his stiff manhood from his briefs into the open. “I want a man who wants me,” Marian panted. “I want the man who wants me. It’s been too long and I won’t wait anymore.”
And at that, she placed him at her entrance and pushed herself down his full length.

Stranger in a strange land
I spent a long weekend at a friend's place in Ohio. I had a lot of fun and saw some people I rarely get to see in person.
But I wandered into a place where no single man should venture; a single woman's bathroom.
What is all the stuff piled on multiple shelves there? I know most of them say 'conditioner' but is it skin or hair? Is there no shampoo? No simple soaps that won't alert a dog from a kilometer away if I use it?
Confusing and most intimidating.
Luckily, she was prepared for a simple guy like me and had simple bath products available. All of which are only used when I am there.
Thanks Jammies for a wonderful time. :)

Is it something in the air?
Or maybe the water?
There seems to be a lot of angst and anger floating around. People seem to be on edge, getting nasty at one another for the silliest of reasons.
Or maybe it's just me?
What ever. It's driving me batty.

That's it.
No more political blogs for a while.
It's sooo depressing to be reminded there are so many foaming loonies in the world.
