Welcome! If you’re just stumbling across my blog, be sure to click HERE to join us at the beginning of the
Be My Valentine Blog Hop
where almost forty bloggers have joined forces to bring you an eye candy overload, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Today I’m featuring male model Brandon Vols.
There is something very sexy about black and white photographs. Maybe it’s the old movie feel. The above picture reminds me of romance novel I remember reading as a teen. *sigh*
Ah, a close up…now you can see those eyes. And stubble. Rawr.
These pictures are all courtesy of C.M. Soto Photography and can be found HERE along with more information about Mr. Vols.
I hope you’re enjoying the blog hop! I’ll be chatting with readers on Friday from 7pm to 9pm EST in Gem’s Chat Room, where I’ll be posting excerpts of my published novels, and maybe some of my works in progress. I’d love to meet you, so please stop by the Chat Room at the end of the tour. Don’t forget to leave a comment here to get your name in the hat to win a plethora of prizes, including my contemporary western romance Retreat.
Thank you Booknibbles.com for hosting the blog hop today!
Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Welcome to the progressive story, a great way to celebrate Groundhog Day! You’ve found Chapter one of our story,
A Corpse, a Cop, and Some Canines. I’m sure this will be on the bestsellers list soon, and it might win a Pulitzer or two. I’m not sure how that works, but I do know that this will be a lot more fun than watching Punxatawny Phil on TV.
UPDATE! The entire progressive story is now available for free download right here:
DOWNLOAD NOW
Table of Contents. It is sort of like the Holy Grail.
Chapter 1: Alanna Coca
Chapter 2: Dee Carney
Chapter 3: Juniper Bell
Chapter 4: Ann Marie Gamble
Chapter 5: Barbara Sheridan
Chapter 6: Christopher Daley
Chapter 7: Ray Garton
Chapter 8: Heather Wildman

A whole lot of things, and a whole lot of nothing. I’ve started yet another project. That makes number seven that I’ve started in the past four months. Some of these I’ve only written five thousand words, others up to fifteen thousand. I write until another story starts screaming to be written. I suppose I’ll get them all finished eventually. A few projects for Olivia, a few for Alanna. Sometimes we switch in the middle. No, I don’t have multiple personality disorder. Yet. I suppose there is time.
Presently, I’m working on a 30k contemporary western, a joint project with two other authors. We’re hoping to get three western shorts together for an anthology. More information as that develops.
I’m taking part in a progressive story blog hop on Groundhog Day, 2/2/10. I was assigned to chapter one, which means I have to wait to see what the rest of the authors on the tour will do with the story I set up. It should be a great time, and I expect some laughs when romance authors join forces with horror writers. Check back here on 2/2 for chapter one, and I’ll link to chapter two and so on.
Another blog tour on Valentine’s Day weekend. This one will be huge, already over thirty bloggers have signed up for this one. Thanks to Michael from HartShine Design, this one will be a guided tour. Want to learn more? Bookmark this page, this is where we’ll post the link to the tour launch page. Tons of prizes are up for grabs, so mark your calendars…you don’t want to miss this one.

Congratulations go to Stephanie, the winner of Preja Vu from the Fill-Your-Ereader Blog Tour yesterday. Also, I drew a winner for my weekly ebook giveaway, and congrats go to Andrea who chose Retreat. (Good choice, since Andrea is the heroine’s name in Retreat!)
This morning I was pleasantly surprised to find a smiley face in my in-box. Preja Vu was read by Seriously Reviewed. This reviewer gave Preja Vu a 9 for the story, and another 9 for presentation, for a final score of 18/20. Here is the review:
“HOLY CRAP!!! Let me start by saying that I was skeptical when I first grabbed this one. Though the blurb was interesting it didn’t just reach out and grab me by the nose…..BUT once I got started reading, I just couldn’t stop!!!
What a nifty little mystery with some sexiness right smack dab in the middle! By page 30 I thought I had it all figured out. I was sure I knew who the bad guy was and I was just waiting for the shoe to drop. BOY HOWDY did I get thrown a curve ball!
Ms Coca, *SNAPS* you did a great job! Totally kept me involved and interested and then WHAM! gave me a big shock! LOVED IT! I will be looking for your name in the future 
”
Thank you Seriously Reviewed! I’m glad you enjoyed Preja Vu. Scroll down a bit for a small excerpt and pictures of Trevor Kearney, the hero who falls hard for Ryann.
We’re already planning a weekend-long blog tour for Valentine’s weekend, so you’ll be able to spend time with your honey, and also get in on some great eye candy and amazing ebook prizes. More information to follow, so keep checking back, or click on that little rss feed there in the upper right hand corner of this blog page. No…a little to the right….yeah there ya go.
Alright, back to the word processor, the characters are calling.

Welcome to my blog! You should have come from Ella Drake’s site, and if you’re just stumbling across this post, head on over to Paige Tyler’s place, that’s where the fun began. I hope you take some time to look around. My contribution to the grand prize is a copy of my contemporary romantic suspense Préjà Vu. Ryann can see the future, and one night she gets a glimpse of a steamy encounter with Trevor Kearney. Here is a tiny excerpt, and a picture of how I see Trevor…just to get your imaginations going. See those green eyes? I’m a sucker for green eyes…
“Please!”
Ryann was sitting upright in her bed. The sheet fell away from her to pool at her waist. She had no idea if she actually shouted the one word, or if it had been part of the dream, but it woke her just the same.
She gathered the sheet into a moist wad at her chest. She was shivering. Cold? No, she was covered with perspiration, even the tee shirt she wore was damp.
Oh yes … a dream. A wonderful dream. It was sinful in its eroticism, alarming with its clarity. Ryann closed her eyes to replay it. It began with sound only. Blackness surrounded her.
She was lying in bed. Completely nude. A heavy arm was wrapped around her, a wall of masculinity pressed against her back. She was being slowly awakened by a playful tongue batting against her earlobe.
“Mmm … Trevor?”
“Yes ma’am. At your service,” his low voice rumbled through the stillness.
She grinned, but didn’t open her eyes. “What are you doing?” she moaned.
“Shh … I’m sleeping. I’m having the most amazing dream…”He continued his seduction of her ear, then moved his lips down along the slim line of her neck.
His breath felt hot on her skin. Her temperature rose to match it; blood flooded her from head to toe.
Ryann turned her head to reach his mouth. He met her lips with a kiss filled with carnal energy. His velvety tongue speared into her mouth and stroked hers until she writhed against him in effort to get ever closer. One strong hand slid up her torso until it covered her breast, her nipple puckered in full arousal. When he rolled it between two fingers, she squealed then struggled to turn toward him. Only then did she open her eyes.
So now you know what Ryann saw when she opened her eyes. Not a bad way to wake up, right? Okay, so really this guy’s name is Nic Luhrs, but I’m allowed creative liberties, right?
I’ve had a few dreams that I wish were prophetic… not the showing-up-to-work-without-a-shirt dream…I can do without those.
Also, I’m running a little giveaway of my own. Buy any of my available print books, and go into a weekly drawing for your choice of ebook! Details are here on my GIVEAWAY page. The weekly drawings will only go through the end of February, so do it now!
Okay folks, leave your comments, and it’s on to the next stop on our tour, which is Pinching Abe’s blog.
Don’t get any crazy ideas, Abe isn’t one of our hotties…
Thanks for stopping by!

Don’t you just love flashing?? You’re welcome to stay here and see when this guy will drop the sign, but I’ve been watching carefully for the past few hours, and I can’t get him to flinch.
You should have just come from Christa Paige’s blog for chapter nine of each story. This is the last stop on the tour, but the fun will continue back at the Silver Expressions Blog, or feel free to join us all as we rehash the flash, and engage in some other Holiday spirit where Gem Sivad is having a Holiday open house in her Chat Room.
If you’re just stumbling across this post, make sure you go back to the beginning, because you really don’t want to read the comments here, you’ll want the full effect. Ten authors and ten progressive stories…that’s like ten Christmas presents!
You must be eighteen or older to continue reading this sexy adult material. Click on the comments below, and then we’ll head over to Gem’s chat room for the post flash celebration!

Welcome blog hoppers! You should have come from Juniper Bell’s blog, and the tour started at Trina M. Lee’s place, so if you’re just stumbling on this post, be sure to start there!
Yeah, I know they don’t have anything to do with the holidays. I was going to add some bows and ribbon, or maybe a Santa hat, but I couldn’t bring myself to cover anything. I like to think of them as Christmas angels.
Also, I’ve just GOT to plug my web designer’s contest. One lucky winner will receive a website design or redesign and a year of hosting! Today’s the last day to enter that contest, so hurry! Run over there and sign up. Quick and easy! HartShine Designs
Then pop back here and leave your comment to be entered in the drawing, where I’m giving away a copy of my romantic suspense Preja Vu. Now…on to the next blog, which is the Silver Expressions blog, affectionately known as the SEx blog, where Liquid Silver authors take turns blogging. Today we’ll have a special treat, Roscoe James is hosting SEx. See you there! http://www.liquidsilverbooks.com/blog/
