Guest Blogger Stephanie Williams- Launch Party

Please welcome Stephanie Williams today as we celebrate the release of her latest.

FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY AVAILABLE BUY LINK



Marty and Jerry gets more than Lacy’s creative juices flowing!
Lacy Cunningham prides herself on being a prolific writer in the romance and erotica industry. However, for the first time, she is stumped by her latest project. A Ménage a trois. She’s doing everything to help get her creative juice flowing. Reading others works, buying non-fiction books on the subject and renting DVDs. Everything short of participating in the act itself.
Marty, her boyfriend and Jerry her first crush from college are more than willing to help her with her research. When Marty mentions the possibilities and Jerry arrives in town for vacation, Lacy mulls over taking her studies a bit further. But it’s going to take a lot of prodding on the guys’ part before she actually indulges in that kind of research.







EXCERPT
 The teakettle went off just as Marty spoke. Maybe the sound of the whistle confused her, but she must have heard him correctly.
 “You better tend to that.” She pointed toward the stove.
 “Of course.” He got up and removed the kettle from the burner.
 She watched him pour water into their cups. The smell of raspberry scented the air. He brought the cups over to the nook and sat back down.
“Now, where were we?” he asked.
 “You said you meant to make the connection between my story and Jerry, in so many words.”
 “Yeah. How do you feel about that?”
 “You mean an actual threesome. Marty, I thought you and I had something.”       
“We do. I love you. Would this question be a problem if the threesome included Jerry?”
  Good question. Jerry had to be the sexist man on the planet, next to Marty, of course. When Jerry walked into a room, women and some men’s jaws dropped. Tall like Marty, his presence took one’s breath away. Where Marty had long, dark hair, Jerry’s was medium length and a deep golden honey color. She’d never seen anything like it.
  His gray, soulful eyes made you melt. His lips begged for you to touch, kiss, and even lick them. When he smiled, his cheekbones became even more prominent. And he had a voice like a sultry caress. He could be talking about the weather and it made her panties wet.
  Oh, God. She realized that she’d been paying way too much attention to Jerry. But she couldn’t still be attracted to him like that. Could she? She just found him attractive, two different things. Right?
 “Well?”
  Marty’s voice snapped her to attention. “Huh?”
  “You were thinking about Jerry, weren’t you?” He smirked.
  Damn! There he goes again. “Um…just thinking about this book.”
  “The hell you were.” Marty took a gulp of tea. “Come on, Lacy, we’ve never kept secrets from each other. It’s okay if you find Jerry attractive. It’s okay if you feel a little something for him still. It’s okay if you think about both him and me—with you.”      
 Lacy had her cup to her lips, about to take a sip, when she stopped. “You’re kidding?”
  “No. It’s only natural. Look, you’re writing a book on threesomes. I tell you that our mutual friend is coming by, a mutual friend who happens to be attractive to every straight woman on earth according to your friend Edith.”
  Lacy had to snicker at that. Edith did make it a point to let Jerry know the sun rose and set with him. 
  “I’m not upset, if that’s what’s worrying you,” Marty continued.
  “I’m not worried…anymore. I’m more confused now.” Confused? What an understatement.
  “Understandable. The man you’ve been dating for some time just told you he’s not ticked you’re thinking of another dude, a mutual friend at that.”
  “Duh!” 
  Marty reached over and took her hand, sending an electrical pulse to her soul. Pair that with his mesmerizing glare and she’d have sex with him in Times Square with the CNN news cameras going. Did adding Jerry to the mix make it any different?
  “We can talk about this later. Jerry won’t be here for a couple of days.”
  “You’re serious.” She couldn’t believe it.
      “I didn’t actually offer Jerry to you, or agree to anything. I’m just letting you know I understand if you have, let’s say, unconventional thoughts about the three of us.” Marty got up with his tea and left the room.

Masquerade Coming soon to print!

What will Caine do when he finds out his mystery woman and his business associate are one and the same, and she's played him for a fool?
Caine Hayden is attracted to the masked mystery woman, at the masquerade ball, the moment he lays eyes on her. They spend one incredible night together, and in the morning she disappears. He has no intention of it being just one night and vows to find her. But he's got a business meeting to attend and has to return home. Except when he meets the woman who designed his airplane he can't take his eyes off her. Twice in less than fifteen hours he has extraordinarily strong physical and emotional reactions to two different women, or so he thinks.
Sydney Reese designs planes, and her career scares off most men. Sleeping with a masked stranger seems to pose little risk, it would only be for one night and she'd never see him again. It is why she insists they keep their masks on from the party, until the lights go off. Sneaking out on him in the early hours of the morning to insure he won't know who she is, keeps her identify and his anonymous. The last thing she wants or needs is a relationship, with someone who can't accept her as she is. But what if?
Can Sydney pull off her mask and allow the man she loves to see her for who she really is?

Spring...what happened to it?

One minute we were enjoying 70 degree weather the next, I'm staring at snow covered ground. Huh? So come on 'fess up, who stole my spring? I know I know don't I have anything better to talk about than the weather? Well, yeah, actually I do.

My newest book, under my alter ego Ursula Sinclair, the second in the Guardian Agency Series was released from Decadent Publishing. Check out Something Blue. Noah and River's story.


What happens when dreams come true, but it’s not all it was supposed to be?
River Blu’s music has made her the stuff of legend, she’s every bit a rock star who dominates the pop charts.  But through the years a secret haunts her, making it impossible to give her heart to anyone or anything other than her music.

When River’s life is in danger she turns to Noah for help.  They have a history together, one he’d like to repeat, with a different ending.  But first he has to figure out who from her past is trying to kill her.

Welcome Today Angela Austin

As the year comes to an end, it’s easy to look back and say what has not been done.  I’ve always felt like the finality of the year-end makes us feel like if we haven’t accomplished certain things by December 31st we’ll never accomplish them.  But, the reality of it all is that it’s simply not true.  How many times you heard or read or seen people hit rock bottom, and then just as Spring arrives…there is a spark, and from that spark comes new opportunities.

We all have lists:
·       Relationships
·       Exercise
·       New job
But, I want to focus on possibilities.  Not lists.
What really makes you happy?  There’s always something we feel that we have to do, so it stops us from doing what we really want to do.  What can you do for 8 hours a day 40 hours a week without getting tired or bored?  Friends and family have to send out a search party.  Food is stashed in a secret bunker.
If there was absolutely nothing holding you back, what would you do with the rest of your life?  My challenge to everyone is to search out what really brings you joy and take steps to accomplish it in 2011!  And keep trying in 2012, 2013, 2014, etc.  You get the picture.
