Tuesday Teaser: Alexandra's Legacy
This week the Tuesday Teaser comes from ALEXANDRA'S LEGACY, the first book in the Legacy series. This was my first werewolf book and will always be special because of that.

“You
okay now?” He pushed a lock of her bangs back out of her face. She’d been due
to get a trim and her hair was a little unruly.
“I’m
fine.”
“Good.”
He barely had the word out when he lowered his head toward her. Her lips parted
automatically and she went up on her toes to meet him. His mouth was warm as it
pressed against hers. It was the lightest of touches, but it ricocheted
throughout her entire body, bringing it to life.
Alex
trembled, but this time it felt different. Her skin was alive with sensation.
She craved more of his touch. Her body needed it. Demanded it.
Joshua,
however, seemed to be in no particular hurry. He nibbled at her bottom lip,
tugging at it with his teeth and then stroking it with his tongue.

Tuesday Teaser: Embroidered Fantasies
This week the Tuesday Teaser comes from EMBROIDERED FANTASIES, which is part of the Tapestries series. This time travel/ménage a trois is a steamy romance that will melt your heart.
TEASER:
He moved into a shaft of light coming from a high window. Roxanne frowned. It wasn’t Michael. Her heart skipped a beat. He was huge, maybe even bigger than her ex-husband. His expression was fierce. His golden-brown eyes reminded her of those of an eagle, sharp and predatory. His jaw was square, his lips firm. He had a bump in the center of his rather large nose and a wicked scar on his right cheekbone just below his eye.

His dark brown hair fell all the
way to his waist. She swallowed hard when she realized he wasn’t wearing a
shirt. His massive chest was bare, covered only in a light sheen of sweat. Oh
god. Was he one of Michael’s friends? The one from prison Michael had
mentioned. He didn’t have any tattoos. But that didn’t mean anything. It was
naïve to think everyone who went to prison had them.
He held out his hand. “There is no
need to be afraid. You are safe.”

FREE for a limited time--Night of the Tiger
*AVAILABLE FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME*
NIGHT OF THE TIGER is being offered for FREE for a limited time. If you haven't check out the Hades' Carnival series yet, now is the time to try book 1.
BLURB:
Aimee Horner lives and breathes her career as a graphic novel illustrator, but she never expected it would invade her dreams. In recent months, worsening nightmares have pulled her into the darkest corners of Hell.
On a rare night out with friends at a traveling carnival, she finds herself strangely drawn to an abandoned carousel adorned with vividly exotic animals. One steed, a massive white tiger, is a temptation she can’t resist. The moment she climbs upon him, her world changes forever.
More than five thousand years ago, Roric and his fellow shapeshifting warriors were imprisoned in their animal forms, a last-ditch effort by the goddess they served to save them from the horrors of Hell.
With one special woman’s touch, he has a chance at freedom and redemption—but the clock is ticking. If he is still alive in twenty-four hours, the spell will be broken, and Hell will have no claim on his soul. The only hitch is his blazing attraction to Aimee. If only he could trust that she isn’t merely a distraction sent by Hades—luscious bait to lure him from his mission.

4 1/2 Hearts for Double or Nothing
I'm thrilled that The Romance Studio has given DOUBLE OR NOTHING a 4 1/2 hearts review!
"In Double or Nothing from the multi-talented author N.J. Walters, it’s easy to get lost within the pages of this wildly seductive and sexy story that radiates tenderness, trust and passion between two smoking hot cowboys and the one lady meant to be theirs. The tangled plot, lined with the history of friendship, attraction and misapprehension between the characters along with sexual tension, desire and powerful emotions between Cherry and her men creates a love story that is a real treat to enjoy again and again. The perfectly pitched dialogue feels right on complementing these dynamic characters." ~Shannon, TRS

Death of the Yahoo Group
Once again, Yahoo has made changes with seemingly little or no consultation with the folks who actually use the service. They've rolled out the new NEO format for their Yahoo Groups, changing it without warning or permission. I honestly have to wonder if they got people who actually use Yahoo Groups to test the system. Given the result, I would think not.
The new Yahoo Group format is not the least bit user friendly. There are things I used to do with ease that I know longer know how to do. I always read from and posted directly on the groups. Now my formatting is all screwed up and even simply replying to an email has become a complicated process. It's unnecessarily complicated and hasn't improved the Groups one single bit. If anything it's taken away from them.
Yahoo and other tech companies need to understand that most of the people availing of their products and services are not technical gurus, nor do they wish to learn. We already have enough in our lives to keep us busy, thank you very much. Most folks want things kept simple and friendly, not so complicated it makes you want to pull out your hair in frustration.
I fear I will be using Yahoo Groups less and less, which is a shame, because it's a venue I've used since the beginning of my writing career to connect with readers. Yahoo might have been hoping to improve, but all they've done is pushed people like me more toward Facebook and Twitter.
Unless they return to the previous format I fear this could be the death knell for the Yahoo Group.

Damek's Redemption in PRINT!
I'm thrilled to announce that DAMEK'S REDEMPTION
is now available in PRINT!
BLURB:
Legacy, Book 6
Myths and legends are more than just passing interests for Sonia Agostino. She holds degrees in folklore and anthropology, and she comes from a family of Keepers, humans charged with helping paranormal creatures survive in the modern world.
Recently, her research—and her intuition—have led her to Chicago's Inhibitions nightclub. Its enigmatic owner, known only as Damek, could be the one paranormal creature she has never seen. A vampire. Except he won't see her.
Damek has good reason to refuse an audience with Sonia. One look at her and his gut reaction is she’s a serious threat to the simple, highly disciplined routine that keeps his bloodlust in check. Worse, she has unwittingly led vampire hunters far too close for comfort.
Yet when she stubbornly shows up at the nightclub a second time, he cannot refuse her. The force of their attraction explodes with erotic power—and danger. For when Sonia discovers that her suspicions were true, she finds her loyalties unexpectedly tested. And her choice will forever change both their lives.
Warning: This book contains smokin’ hot sex, intrigue, a mysterious sexy vampire, vampire hunters, werewolves and a huge Greek family.

Tuesday Teaser: Damek's Redemption
DAMEK'S REDEMPTION
is part of the Legacy series. From the very beginning, readers were curious about this vampire who was friend to the werewolves. He snuck into my heart and demanded a book of his own.
TEASER:
Damek closed his eyes and swallowed hard. Her blood pumped through her veins, calling to him like a siren calls a sailor to his death. The whoosh echoed in his ears until it was all he could hear. He licked his lips, his fangs sharp in his mouth. He could almost taste her on his tongue. She would be so sweet.

He’d leaned forward without realizing it
and swore under his breath. He was not a monster to take what was not freely
given to him. His needs were met easily these days. Owning a blood bank gave
him more than an ample supply of sustenance. But there was nothing quite like
the taste of fresh blood, still hot, still pulsing from the vein.
