Seems Like The Perfect Time For....

A little bite of my vampire story!!


BLURB:

Sandy’s perception of reality is taking one serious ass-kicking. Two stunningly handsome vampires come to her aide, boldly announce she is their blood mate and send her soaring on waves of orgasmic delight with every touch. It’s a lot for a gal to process in two days! 

Tony and Rick weren’t looking for a third, but when the spunky, courageous, sexy-as-hell human woman needs blood, their bodies and souls instantly recognize Sandy as their perfect match. Now they just need to convince her to embrace all they have to offer.

EXCERPT
The Lady's Not A Vamp
Copyright Tessie Bradford, 2010

Sandy rubbed her eyes and rolled over to face the back of the couch. The first thing to register was the lack of a headache and a settled stomach. The next was her pebbled nipples and the gentle pulsing of her clit. Images of a gorgeous man coming to her rescue, bringing her home, promising to make her feel better floated through her mind. Wow, what a dream! She stretched her legs and snuggled her hip more deeply into the cushions. She thought she heard a quiet groan from somewhere across the room, but that was impossible, she lived alone. A tiny itch caused her to rub her ass cheek slowly as she delighted in finally feeling like her old self again. 

“Oh come on, give a guy a break.”

Sandy jerked around so fast she had to brace her arm on the floor to keep from tumbling flat on her face. After fumbling around to regain a sitting position, she stared at Rick, who sat across the room.

“I thought you were a dream.”

“Nope, I’m very real, but thanks for the compliment.” His smile lit up his face. “Are you feeling better?”

“As a matter of fact, yes, I am. How can that be?”

“Sandy, what I’m about to say is going to sound crazy, but please try and hear me out, okay?” He laid his hands on the arms of the recliner and slowly crossed his legs. It was obvious he was trying to affect a casual pose, which immediately caused her concern.

“I’m listening,” she replied hesitantly.

“The man you danced with at the bar isn’t human.”

Wow, at least he’d warned her first. Sandy quickly scanned the room, disappointed to see her purse with her cell phone inside, over by the front door. It would be quite impossible to get past Rick from where she was sitting. Humoring him for the moment seemed the best course of action while trying to figure out a plan B. “May I ask what he is then?”

“A vampire and a law breaker, but I promise he will be brought to justice.”

Sandy briefly studied Rick’s expression, so calm but also serious, then did the only thing that came to mind. She burst out laughing. Of course the most beautiful, compassionate man she’d ever had the pleasure of meeting was as nutty as a fruitcake!

“A criminal vampire as opposed to the model citizen kind, huh? Leave it to me to attract a bad one. Is his crime dancing me to the point of illness?”

“He took your blood without permission.”

Sandy ran both her hands along her neck. “Without leaving any teeth marks too. I appreciate that.”

“He healed them, of course.”

“Riiight.” She nodded her head in agreement and slowly stood. “This is certainly a very plausible explanation for me not feeling well. Thanks for clearing everything up. I suppose I should call the police and make a full report?”

“I am the police.”

And it keeps getting better, she thought, desperately choking back another round of giggles.

“Then I leave the situation in your capable hands. Be sure and let me know how it all turns out, okay?” She took a few steps and motioned toward the front door.

“We most certainly will.”

Sandy audibly gasped at the man now standing in the kitchen doorway. Shockingly, he actually fit her idea of what a vampire might look like. Long, jet-black, perfectly straight hair hung loose over his shoulders to fall below his armpits. His full-length leather coat hung open, revealing a black shirt stretched tight across his chest and worn blue jeans riding low on his hips, clinging to his muscular thighs. Even from across the room, she was mesmerized by his ice-blue eyes and sharp facial features. When he winked at her rakishly, a shiver of lust skittered along her skin. He looked bad and oh so good all at the same time.

“Who the hell are you?”

“Cassandra Morley, meet Tony DeLucia, my partner.”

Have a great weekend and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Nano is like a sleek rocket car dipped in personal lubricant...

Warning: this is your brain on Nano! Being fast isn't always smart. Be cautious and practice sound judgement before you hit the afterburner.

I’m having one of those weeks that offers so much. I have to be choosy about where I spend my energy and time when I really just want to run away and get lost in a corn maze!

Its fall break from school and I have kids at my house all day and sometimes all night for so-called slumber parties, which are just squealing, retina burning game marathons that hold me at the threshold of REM sleep. 

We have zombie movies, pizza and popcorn on hand in case they wander out of the room seeking entertainment—or a snack of human brains!

I’m also planning a mini-Nano challenge for the month of November. You know Nano, it’s the sprint to the finish line, uber self-discipline, take no prisoners, make-mine-a-double-shot-espresso, balls to the walls, puffed-up sense of accomplish challenge where writers complete a 50k manuscript in 30 days.

I’m not exactly doing that.

I know myself too well. I’ll drive myself nuts, get coffeed-up and flame out 1/3 of the way from the finish line. I’m taking a shorter, softer approach to Nano. I’m aiming for a single short story of about 20k and I’m going for quality over quantity. I’m going to try a couple of new things, a slightly different “writing voice”, and a writing partner.

As I mentioned in last week’s blog I’m really looking forward to collaborating with the very talented and lovely Amber Skyze. I’m going to spend the next few days doing a little plotting and planning so the first story rolls on greased wheels like a sleek turbo jet rocket car, dipped in personal lubricant and strapped to the railroad tracks.

I wish! We shall see… Actually, I’m really excited about this. I’m excited about the collaborating part—not so much the greased turbo rocket car. That fantasy will have to wait.

Have you ever done Nano, or challenged yourself with a writing goal? If you have I’d love to hear about your experience.

Lots to choose from!

Is it Saturday already?

Usually I'm not so good in the mornings...

So please bear with me here.  I have a question to ask all my friends...it's important, so listen up.  You could win a free book.  Since the end of year holiday season is already upon us, I want to know what YOUR favorite holiday is.  Leave a comment telling what it is, then send me an e-mail explaining.  If I like your explanation, I will toss your name into the hat for a copy of Nothing but Sex.  If I don't?  Well, I'll still toss you into the hat, but I'll fold your entry up into a tiny scrap of paper so you won't be as easy to find.  LOL!

Seriously, I am totally into the holidays.  Not because of all the hype and the commercial junk...but because of the depth of meaning most of them carry for me.   I want to know what your favorite holiday is, and I would love to hear about your family or personal traditions.

If you want to leave the full explanation here to share with everyone, great...just send me an e-mail telling me you entered on the blog.  fran.lee.romance@gmail.com

The contest will run until next Saturday...then I will let you all know the winner.

Hugs!

Doing The Happy Dance!!

Isn't this beautiful!!!???
Once again, Resplendence Publishing has blessed me with a cover that far surpasses what I'd pictured in my mind while filling out the cover art request form! I have no idea how they do it, but I love 'em for it!!!

Sensations releases on November 9th.

Blurb:

Vivian Walcourt is completely out of her conservative, sheltered element when she finds herself at an ultra-exclusive adult club. Her free spirited best friend may think she’s in love with one of the owners, but Vivian doesn’t believe in whirlwind courtships.

Paul Landis never imagined the woman who has haunted his dreams for years would walk into his club with his partner’s fiancé. More beautiful than ever, unattached, and worked into a heightened state of horny by the evening’s entertainment, he sweeps her away to experience the very special pleasures found behind the closed doors of Sensations.

Have a fantastic weekend!
