Things coming….

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:07:56 +0000

So in the near and far future, I have a few things that I’m going to be taking part in. In February, I’ll taking part in The Romance Studio’s Valentine’s Day party. This runs from February 10 thru February 14th. I’ll be popping in out with more than a hundred other authors so I hope you’ll come join us. The link is http://trsparties.com/ and mayhem will be sure to ensue!

Then in May, I’ll be taking part in my first blog hop. Yep, my very first one. But this one is for a very good cause and has some wonderful authors already signed up to participate. The blog hop is Hop Against Homophobia, and runs from May 17 thru the 20th. Just a few of the authors already signed up are Andrew Grey, NJ Nielsen, Angel Martinez, JP Bowie, Erica Pike and K-Lee Klein. There’s over fifty already so it’s sure to be a wonderful hop! So I hope you’ll join us in May for this one.

That’s all the newsy bits I have for the moment. I should have more information in the coming weeks on more releases and appearances.

January is my birthday month! Now a gentleman wouldn’t ask my age, and I sure ain’t tellin’. LOL

But to celebrate it, I want to give away goodies! A swag bag a day. Super easy stuff, right? At the end of the month, I’ll be drawing a name for a Kobo Ereader and case. Just in case Santa wasn’t listening when you sent in your Christmas list….

The name will be announced on the loop and direct contact, and the winner will have 48 hours from the timestamp of the sent email to claim their prize or it will be forfeit. All claims need to be made direct via email, not through the Loop or Facebook, or any other extraneous means. Email will be included in the winner’s announcement and notification.

And don’t forget, for every twenty readers on the loop, I’m giving away a backlist of any PDF copy of either name to a lucky winner. When we get to 100, I’m drawing for a print book! (Not a part of the Birthday Contest, but heck, who doesn’t like free books?)

The Charlie Factor – A Recommended Read!!

Tina says:

The Charlie Factor by Diana DeRicci is the first book in the Beach Duo series and a book I won’t soon forget. Charlie is a character who is very real and believable; I never wanted his story to end. He has so much depth and different layers to his personality, which make him memorable and lovable. He’s overcoming a lot of adversity and is strong enough to see the sunshine in life.

Gregory is equally strong; he just doesn’t know it yet. Taking a chance on Charlie is the best thing Gregory has ever done. Together they can overcome and be much more than they are separately. Their coming together seemed very natural and believable. I could practically feel the heat coming from the pages. I highly recommend this book to anyone who truly loves to read man romance. It’s beautiful and memorable; I think you’ll love it as much as I do.

Michelle is cautiously getting her life back after a violent attack she barely survived. With the help of two gorgeous young entrepreneurs, she will find more than her confidence. If it’s left to Troy and Angel, she will find infinite pleasure, but will she have the strength to accept an unconventional love?

EXCERPT:

When she twitched half asleep trying to get into a more comfortable position, she clenched, hissing when her side fought back.

“Michelle?”

Four hands were instantly cradling her, supporting her.

She grimaced. Then there was that. Her scar. Just the idea of exposing it made her shudder. Okay, maybe she was more self-conscious of it than she’d originally wanted to believe. Now she had someone, two someones, who might see it, a situation she’d never once imagined. Her mouth turned down at the depressing realization. She’d made great leaps of faith to be alone with not one, but two men, to have stood in the kitchen without flinching while Troy prepped dinner. For the first time really, she was feeling normal. Around these two men, it felt like normal.

A tight muscle spasm returned her to the problem at hand. She let out a breath as it passed.

“It’s nothing. I worked too hard on the weights today.” She tried to sit and Troy held her steady, close. She couldn’t move, though she knew if she really asked, he’d let her up.

“No, that’s the third time you’ve done that.”

“Second,” she corrected.

“Good, now you can’t deny it.”

She lifted enough to glare at Troy. “You tricked me.”

“Where does it hurt?” He didn’t look in the least repentant, watching her like a hawk.

They kept her spread on the couch between them, watching her intently.

“You’re not moving until we know you’re not seriously hurt. People get injuries all the time playing games they’re not used to.”

“But that’s a low impact one. I know it is.”

“Besides the point,” Angel added, apparently taking an equally protective stance.

She sagged. “I’m fine. Why don’t you guys go home tonight? You can come pick it all up tomorrow.” Michelle was ready for them to go, to try to forget how they made her feel, to forget how good their hands felt on her. Their attention was addictive. She throbbed in places that had ceased to matter. Heat and wanting continuously invaded the more they pampered her.

“Michelle,” Troy groaned through her name. “You aren’t getting rid of us like that.” Lifting her chin, he touched her lips with his. “What’s wrong, sweetheart? You can tell us.”

She was melting and sparking at an unbelievable pace. Shudders filled her when his lips brushed hers and shivers raced up her body to circle her spine when Angel began massaging her bare legs in earnest. His firm fingers caressed and kneaded her calves, working the skin gently behind her knees to slide back down and mold to her feet, one at a time. Her breasts began to ache with the same rhythm of Angel’s talented fingers.

“Mm, strong feet,” he murmured. He raised a leg and dropped slow kisses from her arch to the top of her foot to her ankle. “Sexy feet.”

She blinked. “A foot fetish?”

Angel shrugged, an evil grin flitting over his devilish mouth. “A small one. Do you mind if I shower your feet with adoration?”

Her mouth popped open, then jerked closed on a breathed groan, her eyes fluttering as pleasure zinged into her body. “Oh, not fair,” she managed, her lungs tripping hard, trying to remember how to breathe.

Angel swirled his tongue around her big toe at the same time Troy wrapped his arms around her body to cup her breasts.

“Where do you hurt, baby?” Troy whispered.

Hurt? She couldn’t remember why she’d been in pain, their combined caresses and touches sweeping her brain blank.
