Hello everyone!
Thank you very much to Laurie for having me on today. I am
here to promote my latest e-book from Breathless Press called The Fifth Story.
It is a paranormal erotica/cyber adventure that takes the reader through many
different places in time and space. My lead character, Bryn, has to face many
scary foes throughout the novel and although these beings are characters she
created many of them are ones that she never hoped to meet. If someone had
warned her that one day she may come face to face with the sexy and powerful
sea witch Melusine or that she may have to...ahem...perform a few acts with the
dangerous, but lust inducing vampire Darius, she may have written them to be a
little nicer.
Now everyone has fears. I have many things in my life that
scare me including spiders, heights and the creepy bug face my husband is so
fond of doing. However, these other things that scare me are not fears per se, but
are everyday things that sometimes gives me pause. Instead of trying to think of
a proper way to describe them, I'll just get on with it.
Things in my life that scare me!
1.) How much I swear.
When I was younger I was the type of kid who didn't even
like to say "damn". Kids in my class thought it was hilarious that I
never swore and lunchtime fun often involved getting me to swear. Now however,
as an adult, I find that my potty mouth often gets the better of me. When I'm
really angry and venting to a friend or with my darling husband, I almost have
to shout out a warning to those who may be listening that what comes out of my
mouth when I am expressing my views about the man who honked at me while I
dared stay at a stop sign until the road was clear, may include a parade of
colorful words that could each easily turn a PG moment into R. As a side note,
I don't even have to be angry to swear. I just have to be awake.
2.) How much I love
the TV show Corner Gas.
I'm a Canadian girl and this Canadian gem became a favorite with
me as soon as it came on the air back in 2004. If you have never heard of the
show, but you enjoy a character driven comedy without a laugh track, than this
show may be up your alley. I have the series on DVD and have watched every season
at least 10 times. I never tire of it and almost everything that happens in my
life can be enhanced with a quote from the show. Another scary part of this is
that my daughter has recently become hooked and is now as obsessed with the
show as I am. She happily has found that many of the moments in her life can be
related to an episode of Corner Gas.
