Hello Readers!
First off, Happy New Years! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and spent them in anyway that makes you happy! I am having a wonderful start to the New Year, and I am hoping for great things to come from my writing over the next few months. On January 26, my newest book is set to release with White Orchid Press, a brand new publishing company that is expecting great things to come! I am working on a short story piece, my first menage piece, that is also going to be published by White Orchid Press.
For Siren Publishing, I am currently working on book 3 in my Slayer Series. The book now has a title, Acquired at Midnight - Slayer 3, and I am excited with it’s progress. I’m hoping to have it finished sometime in mid February.
Thank you everyone for reading. It truly is an honor to be an Author!
XOXO,
Shannon

Lizzie T Leaf News Letter for Jan 2013



blogbanner
Here we are into a new year and I’m still scratching my head over all the things I didn’t accomplish last year. So I’m going to view this month as ‘fresh start’ month and move on. There’s lots of things on the planning board and I hope you’ll join in the fun.
First, a street team. That’s right, you heard it here. Working on the details now, but know there will be special prizes that members only will have a chance to win.
Along with new books scheduled for my publishers, I’m self-publishing several re-releases. Of course, since some are older and I’ve learned more about the craft of writing (I hope), they need to be re-visited, tweaked and possibly some rewrites. That then leads to new edits. Have an editor tapping her red liner impatiently as I write this. Fingers crossed for a March release, or re-release as this will be. Can you say Hot? Yep, a Contemporary Romance that sizzles…in between the laughs of course.
And I have a column debuting at Night Owl Reviews Newsletter this month! Behind the Scenes will focus on various individuals in the publishing world other than authors. The kick-off will feature a publisher of not one, but three publishing houses. Any guesses?
Emerging Magic revised final
Emerging Magic
by Lizzie T. Leaf
(Print and eBook)
The second book in the Magical Love series is here!
Against her will, the Cailleach puts into play the magic to unite another pair of soul mates.
Loneliness drives Cori Sparks to chocolate. The fledging witch's desolation also compels her to attempt using her emerging magic in the quest for love. Unsuccessful, she turns to a dating website and discovers what may be her perfect match.
Rob Vesha is tired of the money hungry women he meets. Given his gene pool he doesn't think the real 'him' would excite them as much, but he can't share enough to find out for sure. On impulse he turns to an internet dating site and discovers Cori.
Can their love survive his family reunion in Transylvania?

DEAD Hot
By Lizzie T. Leaf
(eBook only)
Will family secrets let her find love with a guy that cats around?
Sharla Gomez’s dream encounter with the man she’s lusted over for months turned into rain-soaked nightmare. Her hopes of love and passion have gone to the dogs. Being a shifter is hell, especially when you’re a Pug/Chihuahua mix, or as some call the breed, a Chug. Even dogs don’t want to be told they’re so ugly they’re cute?
Dorsey Smith wants to get to know the exotic number-cruncher in charge of the strip club’s books. Just his luck she disappeared before he could ask her out for coffee. Instead of taking home the woman he lusts for, he takes home the small, drenched dog shivering in the rain. When he discovers the animal missing the next morning and he senses magic in the air. Has his safe haven been discovered and will his secrets be revealed?
Can two people with deep secrets discover the truth about each other and still find love. Or will the secrets and the evil lurking drive them apart?

The year is 2017 and all is quiet on the eastern front. Good news for the war-weary Republic of Texas…bad news for weapons smuggling–pirate Captain Brett Logan.
Logan’s been a surly handful since war’s end—not to mention a rather perfunctory lover—and his wife Kate has had about enough. When an illicit business venture falls in his lap, Logan is eager to get back to outrunning and out-gunning the enemy navy.
Kate becomes an unwilling participant in Logan’s criminal enterprise, but in his element of excitement and danger, he’s the roguish daredevil she fell in love with. Their passion for each other burns hotter than ever—spurred on by the thrill of the chase. As she learns more about Logan’s wild side, Kate finds herself craving him body and soul as love, sex and adventure finally rid Logan of those pesky smuggler’s blues.

Leap
Just when Lila has resigned herself to the fact the most exciting chapters of her life are over, a blast from the past walks into her bakery. Six feet of gorgeousness named Gavin drops by as she’s closing up shop. They were once high-school sweethearts and it’s been more than twenty-five years since they’ve seen each other, but time hasn’t diminished the sweet heat between them. Soon enough the sparks—and the frosting—begin to fly.
As they rediscover each other’s bodies, it’s clear Gavin’s no longer a boy as he shows Lila the man and skillful lover he’s become. Though Lila knows this whirlwind romp could be an act of insanity, his touch unleashes the sensual woman she’s forgotten she could be. And she thinks—maybe—she has one more leap in her.
Love Game
Battling housework, Sandi wonders if the spark in her marriage has disappeared. When her husband interrupts their hot-shower-lovin’ to take a call from work, she's positive the magic is gone.
In an attempt to spice things up, she gets a makeover and sets a date with her hubby for a night of passion and romance. There’s only one problem—Roberto doesn't show. But all is not lost. Alejandro, a silver-tongued Latin loverboy wrapped in an expensive suit volunteers to keep her company for the evening. He says all the right—and deliciously wrong—things, leaving Sandi no choice but to see him again…and again and again.
One by one, Alejandro strips away her inhibitions, pushing her to act out her darkest fantasies, desires so private she’s never mentioned them to anyone, not even her husband. Blindfolds, bondage with silk ropes, sex on the roof—nothing is off limits. But everything is not as it seems. The game’s afoot—a love game—rekindling the scorching-hot passion in Sandi and Roberto’s marriage.
Waking Maggie
Maggie’s just decided she’s been stood up when she bumps into hard-bodied guitarist Calvin—literally. Once the shock of their abrupt meeting wears off, Calvin asks Maggie out for a drink and she figures, why not? She’s all dressed up for a date…just not this one.
She enjoys his company, even if he’s only twenty-seven and she’s forty…something. And while witty conversation’s all good, they’re just as compatible in bed. One drink turns into multiple romps between the sheets. He’s old enough to know how to make love to a woman and young enough to look damn fine doing it…and doing it. He even manages to convince Maggie she’s still pretty hot herself.
Now if he would just stop serenading her with that infernal Rod Stewart song.

Another Man’s Wife By Cindy Jacks
After the real estate market crash, Rebecca’s money has run out—and so has her husband, leaving her alone with their son and a mountain of debt. She moves in with her sister while trying to dig herself out. When a handsome neighbor rescues her from a torrential downpour, she finds herself the object of an attraction too powerful to resist.
Jack is an aspiring writer who has a way with words and a way of making Rebecca moan his name. Each love letter he leaves Rebecca enchants her, each afternoon they spend making love draws her deeper into a relationship she can’t define. But with all her son has been through and a husband who’s missing in action, Rebecca may never be able to give in fully to her passion and desire for Jack, to think of herself as anything other than another man’s wife.
Dear Addi By Regina Cole
When Addison Laine discovers her famous late-aunt’s love letters, she never expects a lawsuit over the information they contain.
Enter Jackson Poole, son of the woman responsible for the lawsuit. Addi knows any relationship with Jackson would be disastrous but she can’t fight her attraction to his quiet intelligence and sexy-professor style.
As Jackson works on authenticating the letters, he finds himself falling for the free-spirited Addi. His fierce need for her overcomes all his reservations—and his inhibitions.
And sweet, exciting Addi is more than willing to help him explore his secret kinky side.

http://www.jasminejade.com/p-10388-just-a-little-byte.aspx
Snatch Me
From the moment Jolie discovers the Quarterz, a virtual post-apocalyptic world for capture role-players, she can’t resist the challenge. She’s chosen a hard game, where sexual submission to a captor is expected, demanded, no quarter given. She uses the challenge to escape real life and feels a sense of kinship to a world like the Quarterz, a society too broken to fix.
Mack created the Quarterz and took a gamble when he secretly lured Jolie there. He suspects he and Jolie share sexual interests that neither can admit in person. Now he has to hope that time in the Quarterz can help Jolie cope as she struggles to rebuild her life. He has to stand back and allow her to find her way in a game where he’s not always the captor. But when the game is over, he’s determined to be the one who wins Jolie for real.
Phantom Touch
Erika leads a quiet life—at least in the real world. But her alter-ego, Little Lottie, is a singer at a local club and engages in a wild online romance. For months she’s been communicating with a mysterious man, known only to her as the Phantom.
Her lover contacts her via texts, emails and instant messages. When he offers to fulfill her desires in real life, she can’t refuse. The only condition to meeting for their sizzling assignations—he wears a mask to hide his true identity. Despite his reluctance to reveal himself to Erika, he tears down her inhibitions and unleashes her suppressed passions, taking possession of her body and soul.
Erika may have finally found the one man who can sate her every longing…if only he would show her the man behind the mask.
Want to go Private
Obsessed with exploring the kinkiness she buried years ago, Isabel starts to imagine that the sexy, biceps-to-drool-over bartender at her favorite pub is dropping hints about bondage. But fantasy suddenly becomes reality when she finds herself draped over the bar, wrists tied to the beer tap, begging for release.
Chris has an uncanny knack for sensing when one of his customers might be down with a little discipline and a lot of submission, and he suspects Isabel is primed for both. When he overhears her plan to hit a new round of dating sites, he’s forced to make his move and uses his talents as a BDSM blogger and chat-room Dom to his full advantage.
From bar to blog to bedroom, Chris employs tricks and toys to help Isabel recognize the undeniable truth. He’s the only Dom she’ll ever need.

Margie Church News Letter




Adult content. Must be over the age of 18 to read this newsletter.

Happy Autumn!

This is my favorite season. It inspires me in so many ways, so I thought I'd share a few poems I wrote. The forest road is an actual photograph in the arrowhead region of Minnesota. It's the near the lake that's shown on the cover of Nopeming Shores, too. Do you ever write poetry?
This month I'm also celebrating my 30th wedding anniversary. I know - I was a child bride. wink wink I'm proud of this accomplishment and we look forward to the special plans we have. My husband and I are even sneaking away for a long weekend away.
And when I look up
I see you
caught between the glory
and death of summer.
I weep for dreams lost in summer's green cape
now shrouded in autumn's magnificent splendor
Though different
the sight is inspiring
as you are
when our thoughts meet
forever changed.
©Margie Church
I'm deep into my newest novel - Its working title is: I am Jolene. It's a story about a young woman named Jolene. Here's the working blurb:
A childhood marred by torture, neglect, and murder have not destroyed Jolene's spirit. She immerses herself in her work as a baker, determined to create a happier, peaceful life. She's well on her way to accomplishing her goal until she meets Brendan.
Brendan is attracted to the compassion he senses hidden beneath Jolene's cool veneer. Although he's not looking for love, he falls hard for this beautiful, quiet woman.
Brendan awakens Jolene to possibilities she'd never dared dream of. Is he man enough to accept her dark past and give her love and happiness?
On the surface, this may sound like a romance, but in its totality, this book is women's fiction. There will be romance toward the end, but the majority of the story is about Jolene's journey (and no, that's not going to be the title either) to make peace with her past and get the most she can out of life.
I've got two literary agents interested in it. That is very exciting. Who knows where that could take me? In the meantime, I'll keep writing. My goal is to finish the novel by Thanksgiving.
What else? I'm starting the second book of the Razor series with K.B. Cutter. It'll be titled Razor: Love's Storm and I hope we can get that wrapped up by Christmas. Look for a brand new cover for the first book, too. It's being worked on now to help us launch a series instead of a single title.
Nopeming Shores is going to get some repositioning in the market, too. After a big aha moment, I realized this book also is women's fiction. The cover is going to get adjusted and the book will be reloaded into this broader more appropriate genre. The book is certainly a love story, but it's not a romance. I hope I'll have great news to share about the changes in Razor and Nopeming Shores.

KevaD September News Letter





Welcome

Hello!
September is a time to rejoice. The kids are in school!
Actually, my kids’ kids are in school…and teenagers. Good grief – I’m old.
***

Eyes to Die For

“Eyes to Die For” was published by Decadent Publishing this month.
Explosives expert Dorn Wheeler’s security assignment to Amman, Jordan wasn’t expected to be anything beyond routine. That is until Haneen, a temptress who seems to think defying death is the ultimate aphrodisiac, enters his life. Dorn is soon entranced by the woman’s mystery and seductive spirit, and his thoughts fill with the fantasy of her body melding with his in the desert moonlight. What he doesn’t know is that the exotic eyes he wants to swim in may well be the planned death of him. Or that the one thing he can’t walk away from, a bomb like no one has seen before, hasn’t just been built, but is waiting for him…and ticking.
http://www.decadentpublishing.com/product_info.php?products_id=614&osCsid=mjk95lii52mqu67el89p09t5e5
What makes this story a little special for me is that it was inspired by events I lived.
The meetings at the airports, including coffee with the general, the odd hotel, and open air restaurant (cat show included) were places and things I did. Unfortunately, Haneen is pure imagination. Oh well.

Bestselling author H.C. Brown
http://hcbrownauthoroferoticromance.blogspot.com/ and I teamed up for a series of erotic stories called the Game Play series. Book One, Sea Games, is being released October 8th by Liquid Silver Books. http://www.lsbooks.com/storefront.php
Brian Bowers is a man on a mission. Revenge weighs heavy on his mind. The need to punish the woman he once loved above all others falls into tatters the moment he sets eyes on her again. Fifteen years of walking on the fine edge between love and hate ends in an explosion of lust.
Patrice, sophisticated and wealthy, has her own agenda. She knows how to use her body to get what she wants. But Bowers knows how to play the game.
Set in a world of indulgence, Sea Games follows two hearts as they battle memories of the past. Will they win or lose a future together?
Night Games, Jungle Games, and Sex Games will be released in the coming months.
I hope you’ll check out these stories. They’re really good, and erotic as all get out.
Jungle Games is a particular favorite of mine. Ever fantasized about being kidnapped by a pirate and taken to an exotic jungle location where he tortures you into orgasm in the silver moonlight? No? Well, here’s your chance!
