WELCOME

I can’t believe it’s March already, time for St. Patrick’s day and green beer.  Living in Ohio I’m heartily sick of winter and I’m looking forward to Spring.  This is my last “free” month before I begin my rounds of appearances and traveling, so I plan to get some writing done.  For fun I have become an online Scrabble addict.  Yes, it’s true, Lena got me on the crank and I can’t escape, lol.  The funny thing is, we still haven’t grown tired of it.  We are both very competitive, although I’ll admit, she usually wins.  But every once in a while, I get a zinger in there.  But for now, it’s back to creating a new story.

Myths and Shadows
Lena Matthews, Liz Andrews

Read an excerpt here.

Myth of Moonlight By Liz Andrews , Lena Matthews

Kimberly Brenin has been plagued by nightmares. Dreams of being chased by someone or something — the petrifying face of a Werewolf. Most would chalk up the image to that of a scary story, but Kimberly knows the truth. Werewolves are real. She knows because she is one.

Being orphaned at an early age has left Kimberly woefully naïve when it comes to Were rules.

As Benandanti of his pack, Nico is furious that Kimberly would dare come to his land. Every Were knows it is against Lycan Law for any Werewolf to come into another's territory without first gaining permission or making an offering, and Kimberly had done neither.

The feisty beauty is a handful and much to Nico's amazement completely unknowledgeable about the world they live in. Even more astonishing, Kimberly has no idea that she is coming into her heat…

Shadow of Moonlight By Lena Matthews , Liz Andrews
Remington is a solider first and a woman second. She's fought hard to earn her place as Venator for her pack. The safety of her Benandanti comes first, even before her own wants and desires. There isn't a Were alive who can make her feel any differently. Then again, Jace McClellen isn't an ordinary Werewolf.

Thanks to the roll of the genetic dice, Jace possesses all the strength of a Werewolf but not the ability to change. Instead he's been given the annoying talent to dream a fortune-cookie future. A future filled with more questions than answers and a dream sidekick who aggravates more than he helps. The one thing he doesn't need his visions to tell him is he and Remington are meant to be together. Now the only thing he has to do is convince Remington.

COMING SOON

Sugar and Spice

Coming April 1st from Loose Id!


Sugar and Spice
BBW/Paranormal

Rayne Jankowski is the middle sister in a family with paranormal abilities. The problem is, she the only one without powers. Or so she believes.  Unbeknown to the customers at her health food café and Rayne herself, there's something extra in her muffins, and it isn't just sugar and spice. It's her will. Rayne is unknowingly infusing her power of persuasion into these baked goods. People come in with problems and walk out with solutions, of the mystical kind that is. Unfortunately for her, her long time crush Scott Marsten is also partaking of her psychic deserts, which now leaves her to wonder if he asked her out because he's drawn to her or because she mistakenly slipped him a mojo mickey.

For the life of him, Scott can't figure out why Rayne is suddenly pushing him away. Now that he's finally had a taste of the plus size beauty, he isn't willing to just walk away. Scott believes in psychic powers almost as much as he believes in tooth fairies. He knows what he feels for Rayne is real, now if he could only convince the stubborn beauty of that.

Sugar and spice is nice...but true love is magical.

hotter than the Fourth of July

Coming soon from Ellora's Cave!

Hotter than the Fourth of July
Ménage Quickie

The three of them grew up together, and Linc is the perfect candidate to help Deacon fulfill Toni’s fantasy. Once he convinces his cousin, the fireworks will fly as he sets the stage to make all of her dreams come true.

Torrid Tarot-Caleb's Woman


Torrid Tarot - Caleb's Woman
Eve Vaughn

In an attempt to take charge of her life, Sommer opens her own catering company. With the encouragement of a friend and the foreshadowing of a tarot reading, she decides to take a lover, although she can only imagine one man in that particular role. Caleb Masters. There's only one problem. She's human, and he's not.

Caleb has wanted Sommer for years, but had bided his time until she was ready to accept him as more than a big brother figure. So when she jokingly declares she's ready to take a lover, he knows he's the man for the job. Nothing will stop him from claiming her as his woman.

Although they embroil themselves in a red hot love affair, Sommer believes it can only be a brief fling. Caleb, however, will do anything to convince her she's the only one for him.

WORKS IN PROGRESS

I’m working on In the Cards, the second story in my Paranormal Powers series.  Although I’d hoped to have it done by mid-March, it will absolutely, positively be to my editor by the end of March.

Lena and I are working on the third Were book, Guardian of Moonlight.  We both have so many deadlines from other contracted work we’ve put this aside a couple of times.  However, we are both highly committed to finishing the story by summer so we can submit it and hopefully get contracted and released yet this year.  Keep your fingers crossed for us.

EXCERPT

This is from my coming soon story, Sugar and Spice. I hope you like it.

As they climbed the stairs to her apartment, Rayne was eager and filled with anticipation. Their bantering tonight had been fun, especially knowing their connection existed outside the confines of early mornings in the café. During the concert she had felt so comfortable in his arms. When he had taken the initiative to kiss her, she knew she was ready for their relationship to go further.

She had kissed many men in her life, but never had any of them affected her like he had. His lips on hers had sent an electric charge through her body. The rest of the audience had melted away. Her focus was centered totally on him and the feelings he was evoking. She wouldn’t have quibbled a bit if he had stripped her bare right then and there.

As she wrestled with the key to her apartment, she wondered where tonight might take them. Would he be a generous lover? Was he passionate in bed? Would he…

“Change your mind?”

Sheepishly, Rayne glanced up at Scott, embarrassed she had been caught fantasizing about their first time together instead of actually opening the door so they could live it out. Not wanting him to get the wrong idea and leave, she smiled and shook her head. “Nope, not at all.” With a renewed vigor, she unlocked the door to her apartment and ushered him inside.

Nervously she turned on the light and shut the door, giving herself a few more minutes to gather her wits. After locking the deadbolt she turned to face him. Instead of getting undressed like she’d hope, he was standing in the middle of the room, with hands in his pockets, looking around. “Nice place.”

“Thanks.” She tried to perceive the room from a stranger’s point of view. There was a faint smell of yeast and cinnamon from the bakery that permeated the room. The walls were painted a warm yellow and decorated with accents of red. Her furniture was all dark woods, but the room was large enough to handle the bold colors. Thankfully her landlord allowed her to paint, because the sterile white walls would have sent her into a depression after two weeks.

“So what can you tell from my decorating?” Rayne took off her jacket and dropped it onto the floor and walked purposely toward him.

“You’re very close to your family.”

“You already knew that.”

Scott flopped onto the extra wide chair and pulled her down onto his lap. “True, but if I didn’t, this room would have told me in a heartbeat.”

Looking around, she could see why he said that. She had pictures of her family everywhere. They were especially prominent across the mantel of her fireplace. She loved the older photos most of all, the slightly wrinkled sepia toned ones of her great grandparents. But thoughts of her family weren’t what interested her right now. She was more fascinated with the hardness she felt under her ass.

“Scott, don’t take this the wrong way, okay?”

“Okay…”

“But I don’t want to talk about my family anymore tonight.”

“Then what do you want to talk about?”

“That’s just it.” She lowered her gaze coyly. “I don’t want to talk.”

Slowly, she began to slip the buttons from their holes on his shirt, exposing his chest to her hungry gaze. She’d seen him covered in a tight T-shirt, but never bare-chested. It was a sight to behold. She spread his shirt and ran her hands over his chiseled features. How this handsome man was interested in her was beyond her scope of understanding, but she wasn’t about to question her good fortune.

While she concentrated on her discovery, Scott’s hand had crept beneath her skirt and was now resting on her thigh. The feel of his callused palm on her soft flesh made her want to experience more. She leaned forward to kiss him.

The moment her lips touched his, his hand tightened on her leg as he explored her mouth. He urged her off his lap for a moment, only to turn her slightly before pulling her back down. This time however he spread her legs wide until she was straddling him. The apex of her thighs was now aligned with his cock, which was straining against his zipper.

His hands delved beneath her T-shirt and he quickly had her bra unhooked. Not bothering to remove the garment, he pushed it up and out of the way. Rayne’s eyes closed as the sensations rushed over her. He cupped her breasts and kneaded the soft flesh as his thumbs brushed over her hardening nipples.

“Hmm, that feels so good.”

“Do you like this?” He pinched her nipples, bringing them to tight peaks.

Shivers of delight coursed along her body and she could barely speak. “Ahh…yes, I like.”

He chuckled as he continued to tease and torment her sensitive nubs. She could feel the pull all the way to her pussy and she shifted restlessly on him.

“Stop moving.”

“I can’t help it.” His touch had her pleasure centers whirling out of control. She wanted it all and she wanted it now.

“Lift your arms for me.”

Immediately obeying him, he pulled her T-shirt off and then quickly divested her of the bra as well. Although she’d allowed him to disrobe her, she felt vulnerable sitting there topless while he was completely clothed. Especially when her plus sized body was in full view. She crossed her arms over her chest and stomach, trying to camouflage what she didn’t want him to notice. Fortunately, he quickly quenched her doubts.

“None of that now.” He pulled her arms wide and leaned forward to capture one of the turgid peaks in his mouth, nibbling at the swollen tip before lathing it with his tongue. He released her arms and her hands grasped at his shoulders. The solid feel of his cock beneath her had her rocking her now aching pussy against him.
