Celebrating the 1st Birthday of TEACH ME!

21 Feb

Hi peeps,

Today is the 1st anniversary of TEACH ME’s release. So exciting! TEACH ME started life in a tour bus in Scotland, where I was bored spitless staring at the back of grey heads. Suddenly, what eventually became the epilogue jumped into my head and I couldn’t rest until I’d written it down.

Here’s a bit about it:

Teach Me by Cassandra Dean

Ever curious, Elizabeth, Viscountess Rocksley, has turned her curiosity to erotic pleasure. Three years a widow, she boldly employs the madam of a brothel for guidance but never had she expected her education to be conducted by a coldly handsome peer of the realm.

To the Earl of Malvern, the erotic tutelage of a skittish widow is little more than sport, however the woman he teaches is far from the mouse he expects. With her sly humor and insistent joy, Elizabeth obliterates all his expectations and he, unwillingly fascinated, can’t prevent his fall.

Each more intrigued than they are willing to admit, Elizabeth and Malvern embark upon a tutelage that will challenge them, change them, come to mean everything to them…until a heartbreaking betrayal threatens to tear them apart forever.
 

~ Excerpt ~

Moments passed, the Earl’s impassive gaze weighing heavy upon Elizabeth. An overwhelming urge to twist her fingers assaulted her, but what if her fidgeting made him refuse?

He seemed to make some decision. “I shall show you carnal pleasure, madam. As you say, both to receive and to give. However, pregnancy should be avoided at all costs.” His eyes flickered, the first sign of something resembling emotion crossing his face. “I will not marry you, no matter the circumstance.”

Well, of course he wouldn’t. She wouldn’t wed him either. In any event, conception was not a concern for her, not after a marriage that had never yielded—

Good Lord. He spoke of practical application. He spoke of touching and kissing and—Was it warmer of a sudden?

He continued with barely a pause. “Actual penetration will be avoided. While many people extol the virtues of withdrawal, I remain unconvinced. We will discuss methods of contraception during your education, but the most effective method is always avoidance. You are in agreement?”

Still confused but now with cheeks aflame, Elizabeth nodded. In all her life, no one had ever spoken so frankly. This, combined with his matter-of-fact manner and lack of emotion, banished any lingering apprehension and left only the excitement. Glorious, thrilling excitement.

“Excellent.” Stepping close to her once more, he brushed his hand from her neck to her shoulder, the back of his fingers now warm against her skin. “Shall we begin?”

Muscles and Mistletoe Blog Hop #musclesandmistletoe

23 Nov

Muscles & Mistletoe Blog Hop
 

The Muscle and Mistletoe Blog Hop is hosted by The Book Maven.
Let the celebrations begin!

 
 
 
Hey peeps,

Blog hops abound! I’m so very excited for Christmas and the glories of the season. I love fairy lights and tinsel and Christmas decorations and good will to all men and…and…Oh, I just love the season!

Funnily enough, I don’t really enjoy reading holiday-themed stories. Weird, right? However, my favourite of the few I’ve read would have to be a short novella Loretta Chase penned. Entitled Falling Stars, it’s a reunion story with a hero and heroine written as only Ms Chase can, and it’s funny and poignant and Christmas-y and wonderful and dramatic and comedic and a hundred other things and…and…

*sigh* I love Loretta Chase so much.
 
 
So, in the spirit of giving, on with the giveaway#!
Comment below on your favourite Christmas tale, leave your email address and you’ll go in the running to win a print copy of TEACH ME, as well as a signed ROUGH DIAMOND postcard and a ROUGH DIAMOND magnet. How nifty, right?
 
Thanks for hopping with me, peeps, and make sure you visit all the participating authors and bloggers!

Quick update from the salty word mine

29 Aug

Hey peeps!

The writing is going quite well, so I thought I’d check in:

  • Roman Man – 8 (very crap) chapters. First draft 65-ish% done.
  • WTF 2: The Reckoning – Just over 1000 very rough words. Currently in banter mode. I do love banter mode (and not banger mode, as I just tried to write. Although, banger mode does have its time and place)
  • Duchess & Tutor – Stalled, but percolating

 
In other news, edits on ROUGH DIAMOND are almost complete, and we’re on track for a September release date. I hope to have some more info real soon!

Also, have you seen that TEACH ME is available all over the place in PRINT?? Check out TEACH ME‘s page for linkage and the like.

Finally, this weekend I’m headed off to Sydney for an historical fashion exhibit. Looks to be some awesomesauce things on offer!

Right, that’s about it, peeps! Stay tuned on the blog for blog hops and interviews and stuff, such as:
