TOUCHING SHADOWS

Good friend and fellow author, Gracie O'Neil, is over at Regency Seductions chatting about her debut paranormal romantic suspense novel, TOUCHING SHADOWS.

Art expert and undercover psychic Megan Alistair is still searching for the painting that has haunted her since childhood. When businessman Dominic Stone gets involved, her lifetime's web of secrets and lies begins to unravel. This time her masquerade isn't protection; it's a threat—against Megan, but worse, against the man she’s learning to love.

Megan Alistair has a gift; simply by touching a work of art she can tell whether it’s a forgery or a real master. But in the art world those who appreciate such talent can be dangerous, so Megan uses her gift in secret through someone she can trust—art dealer, Annalise Waterford.

Dominic Stone also has a gift; that of financial genius. Everything he touches turns to gold. But while his talent has given him a freedom most people would kill for, it can’t buy him access to elusive family secrets. Secrets his stepfather died with. Secrets only art dealer Annalise Waterford might reveal.

Only problem? Annalise is missing—and half the art underworld is looking for her.

When Stone learns Megan may know where Annalise is hiding he’ll do whatever it takes to get the information. But Megan doesn’t need anything Stone can offer her—and couldn’t take it, even if she did. Because there’s more at stake than lost secrets and a missing art dealer, and Megan is better acquainted with Stone than he can imagine. Enough to be certain some things should stay hidden, and that any future together might well destroy them both.

CRAFT: Writing Edgy Sex Scenes

A friend of mine, Gracie O'Neil, has a special guest visiting her blog this week - one you might be interested in questioning. Here's the deets...

Imagine this:
Your heroine wants your hero to hold her tight when they make love. Your hero wants to ravish your heroine and doesn't know how much she'll take before she kicks his ass.

In her bedside drawer your heroine has the pair of handcuffs the next door neighbour's kids put on her Christmas tree (remind me to tell you the **real** story about that one day) and the hero finds them...

Okay, enough imagining.

If you've ever wanted to ask a question about BDSM, Leather versus Vanilla lifestyle, just how kinky can you get and still be "normal", how to make your characters more alpha, more dominant, more submissive, more real in terms of sexual response and expectation—well, now's your chance.

Dr Charley Ferrer, author of "BDSM for Writers" and "BDSM: The Naked Truth" is going to be blogging with at Romance She Wrote on September 6th.

As a Clinical Sexologist, Dr. Charley is an expert. Take it from me, you can ask her anything you like and she'll give you an answer you can use. Even in your writing! Even if you're not into anything "weird" or "Kinky". Even if, like me, you're as vanilla as a pudding.

So don't be shy. Here's your chance to ask all those things you've been dying to know.

Dr. Charley Ferrer talks about BDSM (and other things) and answers your questions at Romance She Wrote on Tuesday September 6.

See you there!

CRAFT: How To Write a Synopsis...Without Turning Homicidal!

What a great title, eh? It certainly caught my attention.

Need a guide on how to write a synopsis? Gracie O'Neil is the author behind the idea. She's giving the whole series "How To Write a Synopsis Without Turning Homicidal" away as a freebie on her website.

The pdf document is a step by step, examples-constructed-and-deconstructed guide on how to write a high concept, back cover blurb, 1pg, 2pg, 4pg & 8pg synopsis.

A VERY useful resource for any writer to have - I highly recommend it.
