Oh, you’ll learn some new things about me…

For instance, did you know that I have a s… woops. Almost gave it away. Read to find out more.
 

A day in the life of Eliza Prince

Hey y’all, I’m Eliza. You know, from Finding Time?

Anyway, ugh. I woke up yesterday morning to my older son throwing up.  I had a horrible night. There are nights when I can’t fall asleep, and I’ll spend hours tossing and turning, begging my brain to shut off.  I started trying to sleep around 10pm and by midnight, I was still awake. I got up and took a sleeping pill.

Hey – don’t judge me.

My younger son still sleeps in our room, though he does have his own bed. My elder son woke me up at just over 1am because his fever had begun and he was hot and cold. He also had foot cramps. Poor thing.

I’d finally, finally – fallen asleep.  I changed his clothes, and carried him back to bed, zombie walked down the stairs and crawled back into the warmth of my own. Only to have the youngest hurl himself on top of Jett and I, and wedge himself in between us.

I tried to fall back asleep. I mean, it’s cute to snuggle up to him sometimes.  Then he started to head butt me, and kick Jett in the back, and that was it – I scooped him up, stepped over Jett and put him back into his own bed. (All the while trying not to fall over in my sleep deprived, barely awake state) I slid back into bed. I think I glanced at the clock and it was around 3am.

My eldest daughter, Rose, is an early riser, so when I heard her elephant stomps and the TV turn on at 5am, I groaned. Why me! Why do I have the only children on the planet who think O dark thirty is a good fucking time to wake up!

I may have even started to sing, “Goblin King, Goblin King, wherever you may be, Take these children farrrrr away from me!”

But I’m not sure.

 

So, at 7am I rolled out of bed (literally) and put on my pajama pants, helped prepare the kids bags for school and then yelled at the coffee maker to, “brew faster!” Some days, there just isn’t enough coffee.  I walked into Jett’s arms and said, “Do you have any Calgon? I could really use some Calgon. And a hotel room. For three days. Alone.”

He laughed and rubbed my back, kissed me and left for work. I’m not complaining, but it is hard work being a (stay at home) mom. If I want to take a shower – generally there are bodies in there with me, happily playing with my $10 bottle of organic Shampoo. If I need to go the bathroom, they happily kick and pound on the door demanding chocolate milk, “Right this instant!”

And forget about taking them to the store. I have to plan around melt-down times because frankly, they don’t allow you to duct tape kids to the carts. Which I think they should, if they want my money, but whatever.

Motherhood – Not for the faint of heart.

It’s easy to lose yourself in the routine and monotony of taking care of others. I like taking care of others, it gives me pleasure, but at the same time, having a family of six is daunting and there are days I feel trapped in a world of my own creation.

I read because it’s the only place my family can’t follow me.

Anyway – So that was how my day started yesterday, and it never got any better. I ran on fumes, had to cancel appointments, pay bills, clean the house, cook breakfast, lunch and dinner, clean more, and take care of sick children who oddly reminded me of newborns with incessant wailing and glaring at me like it’s all my fault.

Just another day in the life.

You can read more about my life if you pick up a copy of Finding Time. It even has sex in it!

Check out my Infographic ~ Virtual Posters!

So, I’ve been a busy woman, what with four kids, a husband, writing, and trying to maintain a household. All right, so I’m a shitty housekeeper. You caught me. I’ve been working on new marketing ideas and promotions and came across the ‘infographic’ on Cindy Ratzlaff’s website from my BEA conference, and decided to make one.

What do you think? It’s sort of a virtual poster for places like Facebook and Pinterest. But also, most people enjoy visual aids and color. I have a few different ones I’ll post and you can choose which one you like the best and feel free to share it with everyone you know * winks *

 

Or the very first one I made, but thought was too busy:

Keeping the Spice in a Marriage

I thought long and hard about what topic to write about, and I kept circling back to “keeping the spice” in a marriage.  You see, not only do I dabble in paranormal erotic romance, I also write an erotic marriage series featuring Eliza and Jett Prince – happily married monogamous couple of ten years with four children.

Although I write about married couples, most of the spicing up can be used in any relationship.  One of the issues Jett and Eliza face in “Finding Time” is well, finding time to be together. Can you imagine trying to be sexy, flirty and adventurous while cleaning up spilled food, or listening to the kids fighting and bickering? It’s extremely unsexy, and a buzz kill. Yes, I know for sure. Why? Because I have four rambunctious hell spawn of my own.  Whom I love dearly mind you, but they have horrid timing when it comes to sexy time.  Sigh.  But that is a story for another post.

My husband is amazing, but he will tell you the same thing. Children can ruin a sex drive faster than a boy will cum the first time he has sex.  Marriage is work, children are work, and finding time for intimacy is hard when you’re tired and depleted.

Sex is tough enough, but when you add needy children into the mix, finding uninterrupted time is nearly impossible.

I know it’s easy to put the kids first, and your needs (as a woman, or man) second.  An overall theme in “Finding Time” is about reconnecting. Many married couples become complacent and find themselves in the back seat of their own lives, shepherding children to and from activities, homework, and the daily life chores of being a grown up. Not to mention work, and all the societal pressures.  These examples just scratch the surface.

So, here are a few tips from Jett and Eliza, and a little insight on how they got their groove back

 

Eliza says: I used these tips to open up and become more uninhibited.

1)   Use technology. I know a lot of people frown upon texting, but really, it’s very useful and easy to text sexy snippets to Jett in front of the kids without them knowing what I’m smiling about.  Or that my panties are wet from him telling me all the naughty things he plans for me when he gets home.  I’m sure his workday is infinitely harder after he reads my texts :snickers:  But texting dirty is the new phone sex – you should try it and reap the rewards of your teasing.

2)   Garters are sexy! Buy a few sets and you will instantly feel like a sex kitten.  Add a pair of thigh highs and your confidence will soar.  The great thing about garters is you can wear them under anything and only you will know – it’s a very sexy secret. Until you reveal yourself to your partner and watch his eyes bug out of his head. Try mixing it up, and when your lover comes home from work – wear nothing but a long coat, a garter set, and a smile.

3)   Let him know you appreciate any work he does for you and the family.  If he’s been working out, tell him how delectable his body while you rub your hand up his chest and then whisper in his ear how much you love him, and just what his devotion to the family does for you. Follow this by showing him.  Either on your knees, or in other adventurous ways. Sometimes intimacy and reconnecting is about the giving of yourself with no expectation.  But hell yes –reciprocation is nice!

 

Jett says: My top three ways of keeping my woman happy are:

1)   Compliment her… and I don’t mean the generic “You look nice today” comments. I’m talking about deep comments, like  “You’re an amazing mother.”  Or keep it simple and look into her eyes, stroke her cheek and say, “I’m glad you’re my wife.”  (Or partner, mate, etc.)

2)   Take an interest in what interests her.  Remember that she is a woman and not just a mother, or housekeeper, or breadwinner. Always remember she is a woman. – Your woman.  Make her feel loved and cherished.

3)   Make sure she gets some alone time.  The mother part of her will appreciate being able to take a shower without grabby hands and little space, going to the grocery store without yelling, or just reading a book in peace.

 

Jett and Eliza both wanted to give the readers a piece of advice together, and that is:

1)   Have sex everyday.

Every day you ask? Every. Day. The more sex you have, the better you will feel, the happier you will be, and the more connected to each other you will become.  So make it a point to have some type of sexual interaction daily.  You’re welcome in advance.

There you have it ladies and gentlemen.  For even more sexy tips and an interesting story, please feel free to read “Finding Time” and be on the look out for the sequel “Finding Balance” coming soon.

 

Excerpt:

 

 

 

“Jett.” She whispered. He caught sight of her in the doorway and froze, his eyes wide. Eliza opened the door further and let him see her nude body. She cocked a hip and motioned to him with the crook of a finger. “Come on, before James knows your home.” She backed up and hoped like hell he followed.

His hand grasped the door and pushed it open enough for him to squeeze through. He shut and locked the door, perusing her up and down, and Eliza noticed his cock bulging his jeans. She decided on a bold course and walked to him as she cupped a hand over his erection and stroked once as she went up on tiptoe to whisper in his ear. “I’ve been so horny all day. I hoped you’d come home for lunch. I waited for you and I’m sopping wet. Fuck me, please.” She waited for him to say something.

Jett brushed a strand of hair off her cheek and put it behind her ear, caressing her jaw with the backs of his fingers on the way back. “Let me go wash my hands, I’m dirty.” He feathered a kiss to her lips and went into their adjoining bathroom. A few minutes later, he emerged naked. The sight never ceased to amaze her. Her husband had a powerful body—strong, meaty thighs and calves. A narrow waist and a broad male chest. He worked a strenuous job and it showed. He didn’t boast a ripped physique, but his biceps were chiseled and he still had the ability to take her breath away. His face captivated her, always had. His sinfully long eyelashes framed large green eyes and sexy, sleep-tasseled, wavy hair hung to just above his shoulders. Her son James had his daddy’s curls. Jett had a square jaw and chiseled cheeks, often a five o’clock shadow or a scruffy beard. Scruffy-bearded men turned her on.

Jett walked to her and stepped her back until her ass hit cold window.  She panicked, her heart pounding in her chest, even as slickness coated her inner thighs. Sunshine filtered through the transparent glass, sending prisms of color sparkling in their bedroom. “Someone will see us!” she whispered, a snap to her tone.

“Who cares, Eliza? They’ll only see an ass, if anything. But most people aren’t home right now.” He tucked a hair behind her ears, staring into her eyes.

Eliza shivered. The idea of being caught or seen terrified her as much as it sent zings to her pussy. Since she’d decided to try new things, she relented. She let him press her against the glass and cage her in his warm body. He nibbled and kissed her neck, relaxing her by slow degrees. He lingered on her mouth, sucking her lips and stroking her tongue with his. When her body grew lax, he dropped to his knees and hoisted one of her legs over his shoulder and tilted her hips towards his face. His strong fingers dug into her ass cheeks, he alternated kneading and clenching them together.

Her face flamed. Did she want this? Really? What if her neighbor, Mrs. Honeysuckle, glanced out her window and caught sight of more than she ever bargained for? She’d never be able to look the lady in the eye again without burning from embarrassment.

The first touch of Jett’s tongue to her slit stopped her wayward thoughts. In the recess of her wickedest fantasies, she admitted she wanted the thrill and added danger of exhibitionism. He lapped and stroked her, suckled her clit with the skill of a knowing lover, and she flew apart, palms pressed to the glass, head tossed back, eyes closed. Blood thrumming through her veins as a fine sheen of sweat coated her body.

She opened her eyes and looked down into the face of desire, stroking his cheek with her hand, as he licked the taste of her from his lips with an “Hmmm.”

He stood and gave her a poignant glance at his cock, eyebrow raised in mock challenge. Eliza laughed and turned him so his back pressed into the spot next to hers against the glass.

Making the Hard Decisions as a Writer

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

Well, it’s light outside, so I guess it’s classified as morning, and since I woke up, that’s a plus too. But really, where did that expression come from? Just curious. I’m not going to digress into exploring the saying — well, not right this very second … don’t worry. *laughs*

So, I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I’ve come to a decision — I think. Fractured Moon is going to be re-worked and re-configured. Since writing Fractured Moon, Finding Time, and learning every day, I believe this is the wisest course. Fractured Moon could be a great novel. Instead, it’s just all right. And quiet frankly, all right isn’t good enough. You feel me?

The story and plot are unusual, and I know that what I want to bring to the table is different and unique, but I need to do a better job explaining a few key plot points, and I need to re-work a few scenes as well as alter sentence structure where it’s choppy. All the little details that will make the reading experience more enjoyable.

I’m toying with pulling the novel completely off the shelves versus re-writing and leaving Fractured for sale as is. If I do that, I will lower the price to $.99 or make it free, I haven’t decided yet. Food for thought. I wonder if other authors experience this, or if I am alone on my island. I realize at some point you have to let your novel go, and keep writing, but if you know you can fix something — shouldn’t you? What do you think? I know as a reader I’d appreciate an author who fixes issues to make their work better. But as an Author — sigh. The thought is daunting.

When I started on this writing journey I knew two things. Aurelia and Ceithin were unique, and I had a lot to learn about writing. I’ve been writing for a long time, but some of the more technical aspects elude me in my foggy sleep deprivation. I have strengths and weaknesses, and all I can strive for is to write better with each book.

I’ve have been. Finding Time is a much easier read. And my current work in progress with Benjamin is phenomenal. (Because Ben is phenomenal, and there is no value I can place on what I learn from him.) I am continually amazed and humbled that he is writing with me, and teaching me. Doesn’t hurt our novel is going to knock your socks off, either. *Laughs*

So, at any rate, my head is achy, and I haven’t slept, but I am renewed with a sense of purpose. To make Fractured Moon worthy of my readers.

In the mean time, read Finding Time or pick up Booty Call — written by Benjamin and Michelle Chatton *Mwah*
