Christmas is my favorite time of year. I start decorating the day after Thanksgiving and celebrate right through January 5th in the good ole twelve days of Christmas style. I actually learned a little about Kwanzaa this year as well, from my good friend and writing partner, Lena Matthews. Check out her new book, Seasons of Love in my recommended reads. 2007 was a very good year for me. I did a lot of traveling, which I actually like to do, and visited with friends and readers this year. In addition, I released a lot of books, especially for someone who only can write part-time. I also made some positive personal changes in my own life. I am looking forward to 2008 and making it the best year ever. Whatever holidays you may celebrate and whatever year you might have had, I hope that my stories brought you some happiness and maybe a little horniness as well, LOL. Have a wonderful end of the year, be happy, healthy and safe and I’ll see you in 2008. ~Liz
I wasn’t too sure I’d like this new series of Karen Marie Moning’s, but it’s growing on me. If you want to read something different, not really a romance, but an interesting story then you should check it out.
I’m embarrassed to say I’m still working on the same story I was writing last month. However, Lena has threatened me within an inch of my life that I MUST finish this story by the end of the year, so I am getting back to the computer. In addition, Lena and I have a few stories on tap, so I’ll be working hard in the next few months and hopefully have lots to show for it.

I will be participating in the Romantic Times Faery Ball Scavenger Hunt (more on this event next month). I don’t have all the details of the contest yet, but check back on my website and I will post them there as soon as I have the information.
Excerpt from Body and Soul by Liz Andrews and Lena Matthews It was almost a shame she and Terrance were together, because if Alejandro had come to town she would have definitely gone after him. The man was seriously hot and funny to boot. They actually had a similar sense of humor and a lot in common. The alcohol she’d had made her feel free to speak her mind during dinner, but now she wondered if she’d said too much. Although Terrance hadn’t seemed too worried since he’d joked with both her and Alejandro as well. As they sat there, Terrance started to play with her. He started off small, gently stroking her bare arm, assuring she was constantly aware of his touch. But the longer they watched the movie, the bolder he became. Her body was humming lightly in response to the ongoing caresses, the naughty sex scene on screen, and Alejandro’s intense scrutiny. One action alone she could have handled with ease. All three? Well that was just maddening enough to make a good girl turn bad. Feeling bolder than usual due to her liquid courage, she decided to respond in kind to Terrance’s teasing ways. After stealing a quick glance at Alejandro, whose attention was diverted to the television, she softly began to run her fingers over Terrance’s jean-clad thigh. She bit back a grin and looked straight ahead, trying her best to appear as innocent as possible, as she felt him tense under her hand. Two could play the seductive game of cat and mouse. Instead of backing down though, Terrance decided to up the ante. In the guise of stretching, he moved his arm away from her shoulders and took her hand in his. At first she thought he was giving her a subtle warning to stop, but his actions quickly put that idea to bed. Acting nonchalant, he brought her hand to his lips, kissing each of her fingers before licking her palm. She startled at the action, turning her head slightly to look at him. Terrance waggled his eyebrows, a slight smile playing around his lips. Then to her complete surprise, he moved her hand away from his mouth, and placed it on his crotch. Her eyes widened and her gaze immediately flew to Alejandro to see if he noticed. She couldn’t tell, but she thought he had looked away just as she turned her attention toward him. Although their talk during dinner was pretty racy, she was actually slightly embarrassed to think Alejandro might see her hand on his friend’s crotch. Terrance might think he had the upper hand, but she was more than willing to show him just how wrong he was. Cupping his erection through his jeans, Nichelle squeezed gently, testing his resolve. He cleared his throat and shifted in his seat, but he didn’t move her hand. Alternating her touches, she moved her fingers lightly over his cock, marveling at how he further hardened under her skillful hands. Glancing up she saw Alejandro staring at them and her fingers stilled for a moment. The television and a light they had left on in the hall dimly lit the room, but it was enough of an illumination for her to read the heated look he sent her away. His lips were slightly open and his eyes were locked on hers. She wasn’t sure how long he had been watching, but as they looked at each other she saw him nod, ever so slightly. She wasn’t sure exactly what the nod meant, but she felt as if he were telling her to continue what she had been doing. She should have been outraged, but instead she was turned on by the fact he was watching them. “What’s wrong?” Terrance’s whispered words drew her attention to him. Tearing her gaze away from Alejandro she tilted her head up to look into Terrance’s eyes. His pupils were so dark as to look black in the dim lighting and the intensity in his gaze multiplied her desire one hundred fold. What could she say? Your friend is watching us and I think I like it. It was the truth, but she wasn’t sure how he’d react to it. “Nothing.” “Okay.” Terrance turned his attention back to the screen as she fought hard not to look in Alejandro’s direction. She wasn’t sure if Terrance knew he could see them, but she did, and it made her want to do more. Gathering her courage, she stole a quick look back at Alejandro, and saw he was still watching her. He had moved his hands to the arms of the recliner, but he looked anything but relaxed. His fingers were gripping the chair like a lifeline. What the hell am I doing? She pulled her hand away from Terrance’s lap for a second, cursing herself for her lapse in judgment. Then to her surprise, Alejandro raised a brow questioningly and looked from her hand to her face as if to say, now what? Startled, Nichelle jerked backed. Was he daring her? Did he think she wouldn’t do it? Daringly, she lowered her hand back to Terrance’s pants, finding him as hard as before. “If you keep this up, I won’t be held responsible for my actions,” he whispered. “Keep what up?” she asked as she tightened her grip on him. “That,” he hissed. Despite his warning, his hips jerked upward, pressing his cock against her hand. “Oh this?” “Yes.” His muted groan, though low, was still audible. If he was trying to keep this just between the two of them, he was doing a piss-poor job. “Shhh,” Nichelle whispered mockingly. “You’re going to disturb Alejandro.” With her hand still in his lap, rubbing his denim covered erection, she turned her attention to Alejandro, who was regarding her intently. “Don’t you hate when people talk during the movie?” “More than anything.” “See.” “You know two can play this game, don’t you?” “What game would that be?” Nothing instilled courage more surely than alcohol, and she had drunk more than her fair share. Feeling bold, she wet her lips, loving the way Terrance’s eyes dropped to them for a second before he raised his gaze again. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” “Ooo, I’m shaking in my boots.” “I have a feeling you’ll be more than shaking when we’re done.” Nichelle felt anticipation rush through her body at his words. She was more than ready to go wherever he was leading tonight.
