Kimi quote

 

Two for One – Excerpt

She stood in the dark – at least it was dark with the blindfold on – unmoving except for the thumping of her heart.  The air in the room was on the cool side and she felt her skin pebble with goosebumps.  The anticipation of what would happen next was killing her.  She flinched at a sudden scraping sound off to the left and she cocked her head towards it.  It was silent for a moment and then she heard the murmuring of the two men speaking, followed by the chiming sound of metal on metal.  She frowned to herself.  Were they trying to put her on edge?  If they were, it was working.

When life gives you brownies, make coffee.

Angharad ‘Harry’ Russo has had a busy week.  She’s fended off a swarm of pixies, battled blood-thirsty redcaps and put an end to a maniacal Fae prince hell-bent on eradicating the entire werewolf population.  She’s also decided to open a coffee shop.  Is it too much to ask for things to settle down so her life can go back to normal?

Apparently it is.  As if being metaphysically bound to Cian Nash, the most aggravating yet desirable man she’s ever met, isn’t enough, Harry’s just found out that the Magister, the biggest, baddest vampire around, is her father.  Talk about your daddy issues!

Harry just wants to concentrate on getting the coffee shop open, but between the freaky ghosts that keep haunting her and rogue vampires terrorizing the city, it looks like normal is a thing of the past.

 

Fun Friday

There seems to be a bit of theme this week…

Thor is a jerk

 

That’s going to be some YouTube video. Does that last bit with the scissors mean what I think it means?

Are You a Polyvore?

/ lisaemme / 4 Comments

I’m not particularly a girly-girl, so I’ve had to resort to the internet to get wardrobe ideas when writing (I could really use a personal shopper like Salvador uses to dress Harry). One of my favourite sites to find the latest in high-end formal dress is Harrod’s. They have a great website and I have relied on it heavily to find outfits for Harry’s adventures. A new site I have recently discovered, is Polyvore. I’m a complete newbie and I’m sure I’m not going to be hired as a fashionista any time soon, but even I have to admit, it’s kind of fun to pull together outfits.  I’ve created a few for Harry. Check them out!

From the Heart – Excerpt

DB’s eyebrows shot up in surprise at the bossy tone in Daisy’s voice.  Slowly, he set his water bottle down on a nearby table and turned to face her.

“I think you have forgotten who you are speaking to, little sub,” DB replied, his voice low and rough.

Amazon Top Twenty

/ lisaemme / Leave a comment

Dead and Kicking has been out for about six months now and I have been very happy with results. When I first published, I really didn’t know what to expect. Would anyone (besides friends and relatives) buy my book?

Top 20 zon com Apr 5

Well, the answer is yes! You have been buying it. In fact, Dead and Kicking just broke into the top twenty on Amazon.com yesterday. While it has been in the top twenty frequently on the Amazon.ca site, this is the first time it has hit the top twenty in the much larger US market.

Besides being an accomplishment in itself, hitting the top twenty also has the added benefit of increasing Dead and Kicking‘s visibility on Amazon. This means that even more readers looking for something to read in urban fantasy will see Harry’s first book and hopefully buy it.

A big thank you to everyone that has already bought Dead and Kicking. Can I ask a favour though? How about leaving a review on Amazon, Goodreads or whatever retailer you purchased your copy from? Reviews are the fuel in the marketing engine, especially for an independent author such as myself, and now that more people are finding Dead and Kicking, your favourable review might just be the extra push they need to decide to click ‘Buy’. It’s not hard to leave a quick, honest review. It only takes a couple sentences.

From the Heart – Excerpt

“Are you all right?”  DB rose from his seat.

“I’m fine, just a muscle cramp or something.”  Daisy frowned and rubbed her hip.

“Here, come sit down a minute.”  DB took her by the elbow and led her to a chair.

“I’m fine, really.” Daisy pulled her arm from his grasp.

“Sit.” DB hadn’t meant to sound so demanding, but he found the Dom in him reacting to her sub.  He fixed her with a look that told her he expected no protest.

Daisy swallowed visibly and slowly sank into the chair, averting her eyes from his.  Her skin flushed and she felt the flutter of sexual arousal.  Damn it! No, not now!  She shouldn’t be sexually attracted to a potential client.

“Really,” Daisy’s voice wavered and she paused to clear her throat, trying to get her libido under control.  “It was just a muscle spasm.  I’m fine.”

DB knelt beside her and lifted her leg from the floor.  Daisy sucked in a breath.  He looked at the four-inch wedge on her foot and raised an eyebrow.  “It’s probably from walking around on these stilts,” he said with a wry grin.  “I don’t know how you do it all day.”

Daisy laughed nervously.  His hands felt warm on her skin.  “They’re a necessity for someone as short as I am.”  She sucked in another shocked breath as he began to massage her calf, moving his hands slowly up her leg.  He reached the edge of her skirt where it sat just above her bare knee and she gasped, pulling her leg from his grasp and setting her foot on the floor.  “Thank you.  I’m fine.”  She raised her eyes to meet his and blinked.  It took every ounce of control she had to keep her eyes on his and not look away.  She cleared her throat again and rose from her seat.  “I’ll just…”  She raised her hand and gestured towards her makeshift cooking area.  “I’ll just finish setting up.”

Damn the Man

DB quote

 

From the Heart – Excerpt

“No, sorry…that needs to go over there, by the bar area.”  Daisy pointed the delivery man in the right direction and then turned back to look over the room.  It was all coming together, for the most part anyway.

Suddenly frowning, she shook her head and called out, “Wait! Wait!” and hurried over to where another pair of workers were setting up the bar height tables.  “They need to be spread out more.  Don’t bunch them all together.  People need to have room to mingle.”  She showed them where each table should go, ensuring a nice traffic flow around the area and out to the deck.

Backing up to take in the whole room, she suddenly collided with a hard, unyielding body.  “Oh!  I’m sorry…” She turned to face the owner of the body, her hands on his chest. “Oh!  It’s you.”

DB grinned, grabbing her wrists to steady her.  “Try not to look too disappointed.”

“It’s not that, it’s just…”

“You’ve been avoiding me.”

Daisy frowned and pulled her arms away from him, backing up a step.  “I have not.  You’re a busy man and I’m a busy woman.  Our schedules just haven’t overlapped.”   That and the fact that she had tried to time any visits to the site as early in the morning as possible in the hope of avoiding an encounter just like this one.

“And the club?”  DB looked at her with raised eyebrows.  “Are you too busy for the club as well?”

“As a matter of fact,” she started to reply but stopped at the heated look in DB’s eyes.  She cleared her throat and then stood up straighter, thrusting her chin a little higher in the air.  “I’ve been very busy.  Besides, what I do in my leisure time is not something I generally discuss with clients.”

DB grinned mischievously.  “Uh huh.  You’re just chicken.”

“I’m what?” Daisy looked at him in mock outrage.

“You’re afraid to go to the club because you know I’ll be there and you can’t keep your hands off me.”

“I…I…most certainly can!”

“You had your hands all over me a second ago.”  DB grinned at her.

“I…that was different, I was just catching my balance.”  She looked at him, her cheeks burning.  Damn the man.  He was teasing her and she was letting it get to her.  She cleared her throat again…
