I think y’all know what to do. 
I’m on New Age Mama today and I have an interview on You Gotta Read. Wow that’s a fun site!
Just hoping I don’t get preggers at the other one….
Six Sentence Sunday May 19, 2013
6
For today’s Six Sentence Sunday I have a special treat. Joya Fields is here with a cover reveal, excerpt, and a hot blurb from her new book: Altered Frequency. First, her Sunday six:
His mind whirled with passion as he worked his hand up the soft skin of her back. She arched against him and the world spun. He drank in the taste of her—wine combined with an undertone of sweetness. Everything, from her smile to her feisty attitude and her cute, little body, called out to him.
Alarms rang in his head, warning him of the dangers of getting involved with her. He could stop now, and they could remain friends.
Excellent work, Joya!
Blurb:
After losing her father and brother in the line of duty, Missy Prescott vows never to get involved with anyone who has a dangerous job. Blessed with a golden voice, she takes a job as a disc jockey with her own late-night lovelorn dedication show on a popular radio station in Baltimore.
Blake Decker has never had a family. He has come to count on the only family he knows—his brothers on the police force. He’s a one-night-stand kind of guy when it comes to relationships.
Betty McAllister, the caring woman who used to live in Missy’s apartment, is now a ghost. She refuses to cross over until Blake—whom she viewed as her own son—is happily in love. She thinks Missy is the perfect girl for him.
Missy and Blake need to keep each other at a distance as they work together to help Betty find a way to cross over. But when danger lurks, will Missy and Blake lose everything?
Except and Details:
A shadow moved from the other side of the hallway. Blake froze, and his fingers moved to his weapon. He blinked. Nothing there. He dug in his pocket for his keys and glanced at Missy’s doorway.
Betty—wearing her pink sweat suit and flamingo earrings—stood grinning at him. She winked, raised her hand, and then knocked three times on Missy’s door.
Blake’s mouth opened and then closed. Betty disappeared. He closed his eyes for a half a minute and then opened them when he heard Missy’s door open.
Missy stood in the doorway wearing the same clothes as earlier. A white T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and a simple necklace that hung between her breasts, spiraling the memory of her body to the forefront of his mind. He knew exactly how those curves felt under his hands and he craved the feel of them again.
“Hey. Thanks for stopping by the bookstore today.” Missy pocketed her hands in her jeans, pulling them down just enough for him to get a glimpse of her lower belly. He swallowed in order to concentrate.
“You—you should look out your peephole before you open your door.” There. He’d be the concerned policeman who lived across the hall. But how the hell had Betty…no, it couldn’t have been Betty. What was going on?
Missy frowned. “You feeling all right?”
“Yeah. Of course.”
“’Cause I did look out my peephole and I saw you.” She tilted her head. “I sort of thought it was okay to open up since it was my neighbor, the cop.”
How had he gotten in front of her door? He’d been several feet away when Betty…when…. Oh shit. He really needed that beer now. Time for a change of subject. He’d process the other stuff later.

International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia 2013
Happy HAHAT Day!
Today is the international day against homophobia and transphobia. Huffington Post did an article on the even here. Many LGBT people face discrimination because of their sexual orientation and even worse, they can be the victims of violent crimes.
Can’t well just get along? Apparently it’s still hard for humans, even after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution…
There is a Blog Hop celebrating today that lasts through the 27th. For participating bloggers and authors click here. http://hopagainsthomophobia.blogspot.com/
I found out about the hop too late to participate, but I would still love to honor the day by giving away a copy of my FF romance, No Glass Between Them to (3) commentors from now through midnight on the 27th. So comment away!
FYI I’ve been blessed to many gays and lesbians in my lifetime and I support the GLBT-owned local businesses. I vote with my wallet and encourage you to do so as well.
Besides, I’ve found the food is almost always better!

Giveaway on Allyson Lindt’s blog!
I’m at Allyson Lindt’s Reverse Blog Tour today and I’m doing a giveaway of Sweet Cravings to one commenter. Come enter and win a *hot* read!
Welcome author Rosanna Leo!
A warm welcome to fellow author Rosanna Leo! In case y’all don’t know she’s the author of The Selkie, a book about a hot rather wet and slippery guy and the woman who learns to love him. *swoon* Of course I read it! And then I pelted her with mah burning questions:
First, have you watched the movie Ondine by director Neil Jordan? I’d be curious to know if it inspired you at all. or was it a more Bridgett Jones’ diary type of story seedling? I did watch Ondine, and must say, I was sort of disappointed. Being a lover of the paranormal, I kept wishing she really was the mermaid! I’m sad that way. No, The Selkie was merely inspired by the mythology of Orkney. I’ve always been a myth lover, and was captivated by the idea of this man who could come to you, love you senseless, and then disappear. I thought it was romantic and tragic at the same time.
Second, you write about the Orkneys as if you are familiar with them. Do you have a history with the area? THANK YOU! That is what I’d hoped to hear. No, I have never been, but have researched the heck out of the area. Right down to street names and accents and lifestyle. I’ve always wanted to travel all over Scotland, so any love you hear in my voice for the area, is a true longing to be there.
*
Lastly, what about the selkie myth drew you? Which parts inspired you to write a hunky selkie man? and more importantly… are you going to do it again? a series perhaps? Yes! My second selkie book, Selkie’s Revenge, is currently in edits with Liquid Silver Books and will be about Calan’s brother Machar. I can’t wait. As for the myth, the part that inspired me most was the idea that this creature could be a sexual genie, bringing love to women who need it most. I thought it provided the basis of one heck of an erotic story. As for the hunky part, well, when you read the myths, selkies are astoundingly captivating creatures. It wasn’t hard to be inspired by that!

Yay! More Sellkies are on the way!*fans self*
Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming….. heh….

From Rosanna Leo:
First of all, I’d like to say a huge thank you to the lovely to Eva for hosting me today. Any woman who throws cream puffs and sexy chefs my way is fine by me!
I’m here today to talk about unexpected reactions from readers, specifically men.
I’ve been a published author for over a year now, and have been so appreciative of reader comments and emails. It’s gratifying to hear from the women who pick up my erotic romances. One day not long ago, the strangest thing happened. I got a review from a man!
It was on Amazon, and I’d happened upon it quite by accident. I expected the old drivel about chick lit. Let’s face it: not every dude appreciates romance. However, this man was quite enthusiastic about my book. It floored me.
Before long, I began to see more reviews coming in from men, as well as Facebook comments from men who’d picked up one of my books. Truthfully, it still shocks me when one of them raves. I work in a library part-time, and most men check out books by Clive Cussler and Stephen King and David Baldacci. You know, macho lit. It was wonderful to see that there are men out there who aren’t afraid to explore their romantic side while reading, and who like a literary tickle.
I think the best reaction yet from a man was from a friend’s husband. She’d shared my book with her hubby…in bed. He later told her it was “the best $5 you’ve ever spent.”
I can live with those reactions.
*GRINS* That’s awesome, Rosanna! I hope the guys also check out your latest release, Sunburn.
Here’s the blurb:
Patience O’Conner is a travel blogger who lives for her work. Her dedication to her readers brings her to the famed Helios Resort in Mexico, a locale that stuns her with its beauty but at which she suffers from some very strange accidents.
Luckily, hunky resort bartender Apollo Delos is always there in the nick of time, a malcontent guardian angel. Apollo stuns Patience again and again with his life-saving abilities, to say nothing of his smoldering looks and apparent desire to keep her alive.
Before long, Patience wonders if there is more to the sexy bartender than mixed cocktails and insane first-aid skills. Something strange is happening at Helios and Apollo doesn’t want to talk about it.
Can Patience open herself up to this enigmatic man, even though she is terrified to be vulnerable again? And can Apollo recover from an eternity of hurt and learn to trust once more? They must both decide before Death comes calling.
Sunburn Excerpt:
She approached the booth, only to find the blond bartender manning it. Her eyes almost popped and she blurted, “You!”
He grinned, but there was still a tightness around his eyes, as if he were sizing her up. “Hello, Patience.” His strained expression said volumes about what he considered to be the unsuitability of her name.
She tried to ignore the sucker punch in her gut, the one that hit her as soon as his deep, velvety voice caressed her eardrums. “Aren’t you supposed to be at the bar?”
His smile grew wider, showing off his perfect white teeth. “I’m everywhere.”
“Clearly.” She forced herself to look away from his gorgeous face, feeling light-headed because of the suns dancing in her eyes, the suns that seemed to come from him. To distract herself, she touched a few of the painted bowls on display. Not that it snuffed out those blasted suns.
He stepped closer. “Do you see anything you like?”
She choked on her saliva and coughed like a victim of the Black Death. He rushed to calm her, putting his hand on her back, massaging. She recovered upon feeling his touch and was hit by the bizarre, fleeting notion his touch made her recover. As if he’d healed her.
Utter nonsense. Yet as much as it was nonsense, her head swam with the bizarre possibility.
“Better?” he asked quietly, his face serious now.
She stared into the man’s eyes. They were blue, so very blue. “Uh, yeah, thanks.” Curiosity got the better of her and the question poured out. “What’s your name anyway?”
He breathed in. “Apollo Delos.”
“Oh, wow,” she said, breaking into a grin. “Just like Apolo Anton Ohno! I loved him on Dancing with the Stars!”
He got a curious look and let out a strange laugh. “Yeah. Just like him.”
