Raine's Secret Garden

Chasing My Tail

This has been one of those weeks where I just couldn’t seem to catch up with anything! I know I’m writing, but the book feels stalled. I know I’ve cleaned the house, but why is the carpet sprouting cat hair? And I know I’ve been paying bills, so why are there still so many left??

So today I’m blogging at the CHICAS site. Hopefully I’ll catch you there! :)

I have an intense dislike for arrogant men.

Now, I realize the world in general could give a crap less, lol—but there it is.
And apparently that dislike carries over into my reading preferences. I recently passed a romance novel on to a friend because I couldn’t stand to finish it.

I’m not talking confident. I’m not even talking a little cocky. Some men can carry that, and carry it well enough to make them seem sexy.
I’m talking A-R-R-O-G-A-N-T.

The hero of this novel was unbearable to me. I’m talking about the kind of guy who’d lay a kiss on you, and then smirk and say something like, “Bet you’re all primed to go now, hmmm, babe?”
Or the moment you seemed halfway receptive he’d murmur, “Oh yeah, you know you want it.”

Phffffttttt!!!!! XD

The only situations in which I could STAND such a “hero” would be if the story was meant to be humorous, or if I knew he was going to get his comeuppance (if I could tolerate him long enough to see it happen).
This book was by a well-known author, so apparently many readers aren’t bothered by such ‘attitude’.
And while I’m all for variety in heroes, I just found myself wanting to kick him in the balls. :ninja:

Hotter than Hell (2)

Samhain posted it sooner than I expected, lol.

And I guess that means it’s okay for me to display it. Ladies and gentlemen, the cover of “HOTTER THAN HELL”.

“Hotter than Hell” (1)

…And it practically has been in many parts of the country. Very hot here recently too, but that’s not really what the title is for.

The cover isn’t being shown yet, but the announcement for the book due out in October has been posted! I guess they decided to go through with it, ha-ha. :lol:

The novel, originally titled “The Fallen”, had to be re-named because Samhain had already pubbed a book by that name.
It’s new title is “HOTTER THAN HELL”, and it consists of two complete novellas about Incubii.

More details to come, when the cover is available. But for now, step one is done. :)

Gallery

I’m thinking of posting two or three more free reads in the Gallery section.
Just two of the flash fiction bits and the Christmas story I’ve done in the past year or so right now. Not all romance, a little dis and dat, and hopefully more to come soon.

I only wish I wrote faster so I could post more! :)
