WELCOME

RT 2006 totally rocked. I shared a suite of rooms with Lena Matthews, Maggie Casper, and Eva Vaughn as well as our friends Kim and Niki. We had a blast. I also ran into old friends Melissa Schroeder and Kally Jo Surbeck. I also met some new friends, Beth Williamson, Beverly Havlir, Evangeline Anderson, Michele Bardsley and Sheri Livingston. Not only are these ladies wonderful authors, but we had a great time hanging out. Of course the most wonderful people I met were the readers, including Minta, Danny, Joy, Susan, Janine and a host of others. We even had a party in our room one night. I also got to act like a crazed fan during the book signing and met Laurell K. Hamilton (who signed my book with a personal dedication), Christine Feehan, Lori Foster, Joey Hill and tons of others. The weather was wonderful and I am looking forward to next year in Houston where hopefully I can participate in the book signing. Woo Hoo.

Summer is almost here and I am ready to have some fun. Hope everyone else is too so let’s get the party started!

Helene's Release (co-authored with Lena Matthews)
Book 4 in the Redemption Series
Coming July from Loose Id

Fabulous at fifty Helen Weller is not. In fact, the once svelte woman is not only forty pounds over weight, she's also about to be a grandma. Too young for the senior discount yet to old for the singles scene has Helen downright blue. Although happy for her daughter, she's despondent for herself. Nobody wants to make love with a granny, or so she thinks.
Griffin Powers has been fascinated with Helen since the first moment he saw a photo of her. The former wallflower is ready to bloom and he doesn’t want to miss a minute of it. Yet despite his intense attraction to her, Helen isn't willing to let him in. She's finally in charge of her life and she doesn't want to give up control. Lucky for her, Griffin is more than willing to let Helen be the one in power. He just has to convince of her of that.

Helen and Griffin experiment with all her hidden desires. But Griffin wants more than just a sexual partner; he wants Helen in his life forever. He must convince her to release her fears and embrace the life they can have together.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

I have an idea for a book, but I probably won’t get started on it until after the Ohio book signing.  So, more to come soon

Planet X By Evangeline Anderson

Krisa Elyison is a bride-to-be—bought and paid for by a stuffy aristocrat. Though she secretly longs for just one adventure all on her own, she knows the reality of her life—she is destined to be the wife of the elderly and pompous Lord Radisson.

Kurt Teague is a prisoner—a galactic criminal wanted for multiple murders. He is also Feral, a proud and savage people known for their indomitable wills to survive and their fiercely possessive natures. His tortured past has turned him into a ruthless killer—an unthinkable fate to the innocent, sheltered Krisa.

Resigned to her destiny, Krisa boards the starship that will take her to another planet and her loveless marriage. In the cargo hold, she stumbles across Teague—so fierce a prisoner he's blindfolded and chained to a wall. Even so, her heart jumps at the sound of his deep, gravelly voice.

When the ship crashes onto an uncharted jungle planet, Krisa has no choice but to trust the menacing convict with both her virginity and her life. Yet, on a world filled with ravenous telepathic beasts and cannibalistic natives…Krisa discovers that the gorgeous and mysterious Teague may be the most dangerous animal of all.

EXCERPT

Unedited Excerpt

 

Helen’s Release
Coming soon from Loose Id
© Liz Andrews and Lena Matthews 2006

“You’re very good with your hands.”

“I’m very good with a lot of things and I’m at your command.” Griffin sat staring at her for a moment before Helen realized he wasn’t going to do anything else until she told him it was okay. This certainly was a novel experience, especially since she had no idea what instructions to give.

“I don’t know what to do here, Griffin.” Helen held her hands up helplessly. God, she hated what she had become, but was clueless about how to stop it.

“Just do what feels right, the things that make you feel good.” Softly rubbing her calves to accentuate his words, Griffin gently parted her thighs and moved his large body between her legs. The sensation of his cotton shirt rubbing against her bare legs felt utterly decadent. So this must be what foreplay was.

Helen chuckled to herself, but her emotions must have been reflected in her face.

“What’s so funny?” Griffin’s touches had never stopped, his fingers lightly danced over her skin, making heat pool low in her belly. It had been a long time since she had felt this alive or this aroused.

“If I knew what I found pleasurable, I could ask for it, but … this probably wasn’t such a good idea.” Helen tried to scoot back from Griffin and his amazing fingers, but he wasn’t having any of it.

“Nope, you’re committed now. It’s okay if you don’t know what you want. We’ll just experiment and figure it out. Anything you like, we’ll keep doing and if there’s anything you don’t like, we’ll stop.” Grabbing her ankles, Griffin pulled her back toward him. “If you don’t know what you want, I just might make a few suggestions.”

Helen licked her lips nervously. She could bail out right now and become the old sedate grandmotherly type she feared or she could grab the brass ring, hold on tight and go for the ride of her life.

“Brass ring it is.”

Griffin didn’t even ask her what the hell she was talking about, he just smiled wickedly and ran his hands right up under her skirt to stroke at her bare thighs. “Do you like this?”

“Yes, very much.” Helen could hear the catch in her throat, but she wasn’t going to let her fear stop her from feeling.

“Do you like it when a man goes down on you?”

Helen’s mouth dropped open as she stared speechlessly at him. He didn’t just ask that, did he?

“That’s not an answer.” Griffin’s hands were completely under her skirt now, resting at the elastic band of her very unattractive panties. The reminder of how she was so unprepared to be seduced was like a splash of cold water onto her overheating body.

Acting quickly, Helen brought her hands down on the top of her skirt, stilling Griffin’s wandering fingers. “It’s fine.”

“Just fine?”

Was there another word he was looking for? Helen pushed at his hands, but to her surprise, Griffin didn’t budge. He merely raised a brow as he tightened his grip. Flushing, Helen dug her fingers into his. “This is not a good time for this.”

“The wrong time of the month?”

Helen gasped. “No!”

“Are you worried about birth control?”

“Birth control, uh, no, I’m not worried about that.” What a laugh. A soon-to-be grandmother having a conversation about birth control with her younger lover. Top that, Oprah.

“Then it’s the perfect time. I want to taste you. I want to delve my tongue between your folds and binge myself on your flavor.”

Taste…he was going to be the death of her. Helen didn’t know how to reply. Just the thought of Griffin burying his head between her legs made her stomach tense with need. The things he said, the way he was so comfortable with his desires, aroused her.

“I’m…” Closing her eyes, Helen blurted out the first thing that came to mind, “I’m not wearing pretty lingerie…”

A quick smile parted his lips. “Trust me, whatever you’re wearing now, won’t be on you long enough for it to matter.”

Helen knew the lingerie wasn’t the only problem. Not only had she not been intimate in a really long time, she wasn’t too happy with the look of the extra weight she was carrying around. On the other hand, she wasn’t willing to give up this opportunity just because he might see her chunky thighs. “Yes.”

“Yes, what?”

“Yes, I want you to taste me with your mouth.”

The wolfish grin was back. “It will be my pleasure, to pleasure you with my mouth.”

“I’m sure I’ll enjoy it much more.”

“Now that, my sweet Helen, is definitely debatable.”
