Getting Old!

Yesterday was my oldest daughter's birthday. I looked at this poised, intelligent, beautiful young lady and held her in awe. All she could talk about was that a year from the day, she'd have a driver's license. Whatever happened to my baby? I thought. But then I blinked and I saw her. I saw her as she was as she is and as she will always be to me, my baby.

Which is why I'm not even going to think about the whole driving thing until somebody twist my arm.

COME TO ME-5 Stars

Literary Nymphs gave COME TO ME a 5 Star Review. Follow the link below to read the entire review.

If I could give Come to Me a higher rating, I would because this story is fantastic! This couple’s passion jolted me like an amusement park ride that I never wanted to end. Baron is hooked the moment he hears Jasmine’s voice on the phone and hops a plane, just to go on a date with her. I loved the fact that he was so impulsive and sure of himself. The airport scene is etched in my mind as one of the hottest and most hilarious first meetings I have ever read. LaVerne Thompson, thank you for bringing the heat in this clever story.

Resignation

As many of you know I was an assistant manager for IMRR. Unfortunately I had to resign. My home life and writing life had gotten to the point I did not feel I could give IMRR the attention it truly deserves. While I am no longer part of management I am still very much a member and will always be part of the IMRR family.

So look for me on the boards. I'm still extremely opinionated.

One phone call changed both their lives.

A real life knight in shining armor, except he isn’t in armor he’s in a suit. But the first time Lena Douglas lays eyes on Stephan Grayson that’s what he seems to her. He saves her from a violence that still haunts her nights, but at least he’s there to hold her should she wake. But the nightmare’s not over, it stalks them both now. Something from her past that will not let go.

But then neither will Stephan. He saved her once and he’s not about to let anyone, especially Lena stand in the way of what is happening between them.

But will Stephan always be there to shield her from her past?

Release for COME TO ME

Yeah! I've got a release date for COME TO ME, a contemporary romance available Mar. 3rd from Freya's Bower. Enjoy.

Blurb-

Confirmed bachelor Baron Munro doesn’t believe in love, much less love at first sight. Not for him. But what about love at first sound?

Baron thought he was happy with his life, he adored women and they adored him right back. But it wasn’t until he heard the voice of Jasmine Sandler that he thought maybe his life isn’t all what it should be. There just might be something missing. And that something might be a woman of his own. Not just any woman though, but the woman with the husky voice that soothes the place inside him aching to belong to someone wholly and completely.

Jasmine didn’t know what to make of the man who haunted her days and invaded her nights. She knew the sound of his voice as intimately as she knew her own. And every time she heard it he wrapped himself a little tighter around her heart, making it want to beat only for him. While she could tell you what he sounded like when he was tired, pissed off, happy or sad, she could not describe what he looked like. They had never actually met.

Dare she take the risk of a lifetime?

EXCERPT-

Excerpt- COME TO ME

The mangled scents of perfume and sex teased Baron Munro as he turned his head and looked for a clock on the bedside table. There wasn’t one. Didn’t matter, it was time to go. He’d indulged them both long enough. Glancing at the tangle of long blond hair resting on the pillow near his head, he hoped its owner would continue to slumber. The last thing he needed was to explain why he wasn’t going to spend the rest of the night, or any other, with her. He should have been long gone already, but he’d been exhausted even before the sex marathon. And that damned near drained him. Yet, he still felt unsatisfied.

In the last few months, no matter how much he indulged, he’d roll out of bed feeling as empty as he had before he climbed in it. Even with his brief hiatus from casual sex, this time was no different from any others. A break was not what he had needed. Whatever he was looking for wasn’t here either.

Shifting, he eased his body off the bed and picked up his clothes where he’d thrown them on the chair earlier in the evening. Naked, his clothes clutched to his chest, he carefully opened the bedroom door. He closed it behind him and released the breath he’d been holding. After dressing in the hallway, he made his way fully clothed to her front door. When he reached the lobby of the building he dumped the card with the woman’s name and number in the trashcan near a pillar. They’d been out a couple of times now; but he never saved her number in his speed dial. He wouldn’t be calling her again. She was a mistake, another in a long succession of them.

At thirty-one, he was too old for this crap. He had to believe something more existed out there.

He whipped out his cell phone, her sultry voice came on before the ring had finished its first vibration, as if she waited by the phone for his call. He wished.

This wasn’t the first time he’d spoken to Jasmine Sandler and it wouldn’t be the last. Not if he had anything to say about it. She gave him hope. In truth, since she became the building manager six months ago, he’d taken every opportunity to talk to her, to try to get to know her—even if her voice wreaked havoc with his libido, sending it into overdrive whenever he heard it.

Their flirting had begun from the very first time he’d spoken to her, and she’d flirted right back. He’d tried several times to meet her, but she always put him off. No one he knew in the building had ever seen her, but everyone he’d spoken to about her agreed she had a sexy voice. The kind that had him taking cold showers a couple of times after talking with her. No matter how often he told himself she was probably sixty, with four kids, nothing helped. If she looked half as hot as she sounded on the phone, he’d still want her.

Therein lay his problem of the last six months. She went by the name of Jasmine. She teased his senses on every level. A woman he’d never met, but one he could not ignore. No matter how many women he tried to deny his feelings for her with. Pathetic.

UPDATES

So much is happening. HOLD ON my contemporary romance with a touch of suspense will be out soon from Red Rose Publishing. I'll announce the release date as soon as I know it. I've also sold a series to Red Rose that I've written with another author Stephanie Williams. It's the story of three sisters. More on that soon. I've also signed a contract with Freya's Bower for a contemporary romance COME TO ME.

I'm also working on two fantasy works, one is book 2 of the story of the brethren the other is Sword Dancer, I posted the first chapter of that here.

So the next few weeks I'll be pretty busy. I'll keep everyone updated on what's going on with me and my writing. And if anyone's on myspace make sure and friend me there myspace.com/lavernethompson

IT IS FREEZING!

Okay so Mimi already whined about this but she was right. It's so cold I'm getting a headache in the middle of my forehead right between my eyes. And I have a husband with the flu, because of cause he figured as long as the wife and kids had their flu shots he wouldn't need it. So of course guess who doesn't have the flu. And I have 2 kids I still have to go back out into that freeze to pick up.

When will this end?
