LILAC in Print

I learned today that my erotic historical novel LILAC will soon be available in print. LILAC is the first novel in my blooming series, followed by ROSE, an interracial paranormal, and soon to be followed by THYME a contemporary time travel novel.

* * * * *

With a temper to match her flaming hair, an argumentative streak a mile wide, and a curvy full-figured shape, Regina is a vavavoom sexpot.

A lot of good it does her with men.

Her 36-Ds intimidate nice guys and draw creeps out of the woodwork. Frustrated and hurting after a recent breakup with her apathetic boyfriend, she decides to shake up her boring life by vacationing solo in Europe.

First stop: the Tower of London

She's minding her own business, doing the sightseeing routine at the tourist trap, when she’s stalked, then captured by some twisted weirdo who actually thinks he’s a medieval warrior from Norman times. After introducing himself as Lord Raven, he drags her to his castle bedchamber, where he strips her naked and ties her up like a rump roast. And he’s acting starved. Then, he starts talking trash, something about making her his mate.

His mate! This, to a feminist! What will her girls back home think?

Just her friggin' luck, the kinky abduction scenario really does it for her, and she falls for him hard. Until -- he starts spouting a whole lot of crap about Time Travel.

As soon as she unlocks her lips from his, she’s so outta there.

I swear sometimes the biggest thrill I get when a new novel is published is seeing the cover. That is certainly true of all of those covers by Christine Griffin. This cover for Thyme just arrived and I could not wait to share it.

Thyme - a time travel erotic romance released by Loose-Id Publishing on May 25th.

The cover for ROSE is another original piece by Christine Griffin.

I've been busy on a lot of new work. Several full-length novels, part of the "Blooming" series that begins with Lilac, have been contracted with tentative release dates. A third is a work in progress. See details below:

ROSE, a new historical from Loose ID Publishing.

THE ETHIOPIAN: His early years in Ireland spent in shackles as a brothel slave, forced to perform perverse carnal acts on demand, Amaurus the Moor now craves the delights of dark carnality. His particular specialty is provoking climax in a partner by dispensing pain in equal portions to pleasure.

A woman crying out in tethered bondage, her every orifice filled, her greedy buttocks raised to the whip’s sharp kiss comprise both his skill and his inclination. His unwillingness to inflict his unnatural predilections on a wedded wife condemns him to the solitary life of a nomadic mercenary. No home. No begotten children. Definitely no innocent virgins…

Then he's seduced by a fair maiden whose illicit passions match his own.

THE WITCH: Disenchanted with her many spell-casting screw-ups, the Council of Immortals strip Treasa of her magical powers and erase her memory. However, the gods and goddesses are not without mercy. In their infinite wisdom, they give the shallow and vain virgin a second chance, a quest to redeem herself. To accomplish the feat, Treasa must employ her vast store of womanly wiles on Amaurus the Moor…

While disguised as a lad, hampered by amnesia, and without knowing the simple quest was a complicated ruse all along.

Amaurus the Moor tries to deny his forbidden passion for his male slave, a wickedly cunning submissive all too willing to please him in every way for her own self-serving purposes.

*****

VERONICA

A public scandal and a private tragedy force sexually curious Veronica Cooper into an unwanted marriage with Talbot Bowdoin, an urbane and isolated gentleman about whom she knows nothing.

Talbot wants it kept that way. Though the eccentric publisher fell in love with the "free-love" author at first word, and would give her the world gladly, fearing the repercussions, he miserly withholds the truth about himself. A voyeur of the first water, a bisexual by experience and a romantic by nature, he is more comfortable with his steam-powered automatons than he is with people, and so he keeps anyone with a beating heart at arm's length.

Not Veronica. Her heart pounds... with lust... and she refuses to tolerate her standoffish husband’s conjugal neglect.

To satisfy his beautiful... and assertive... bride, Talbot touches another human being for the first time in years and allows her the sexual freedom she craves, including dressing her in male attire as well as exposing her to steam-powered toys... and the gazes of other men.

This will be another in the Blooming Series.

Spring!

Well Spring has finally arrived and it was right on time! There was a lot of work to do but after a long winter we were eager to get to it.

There's not much more than dirt and promise there now but I know what that dirt has to offer. This season I'll be maintaining a garden chronicle. Check back with me each week to find out what's happening in my gardens.
