The lovely young lady above seems to have taken up residence in my back yard.

Not that I mind, lol. No noise from this neighbor. She minds her business. And she really is a beautiful creature.
I worried a little at first. She didn’t appear to have a fawn this year, and I thought she should be hanging with her herd. But she seems content to spend a lot of time here, and occasionally welcomes visiting does. They lounge, chat, and share a leaf or two.
For all I know, she may be pondering the mysteries of the universe, and it’s fine with me.
Now, if I could just get her to stop eating the birdseed…

They’re Out There

I’m probably not what might be considered a “people person”.

I don’t think that’s unusual among folks who pursue creative arts. A lot of them spend more time than the norm living inside their heads, may have been introverted children, or have trouble communicating in one way or another (which may be one reason they take up the creative arts).

And we all stumble over our share of not-so-nice people on the path. Usually, it’s a learning experience. Occasionally, it’s nearly crippling. It’s so easy to categorize, label, and keep your guard up, not putting too much out and not letting too many in.

But once in a while, someone will say or do something unexpected, something so amazingly good-hearted, something that throws you completely for a loop because we become accustomed to not expecting it, that it reminds you there really are good people out there.

To that someone who reminded me of that this weekend–and the words always seem so inadequate–but…
THANK YOU.

I only hope I can pay it forward soon. :yes:

Alcide

This handsome young man is one of the newest characters to join my favorite HBO series, “True Blood”.

He’s the resident werewolf, all big, strong muscles and soft, broken heart.
Unfortunately, in this photo he is wearing a shirt.
Believe me.
It’s very, very unfortunate. :surrender:

HOTTER THAN HELL—PRINT

My last Samhain release, HOTTER THAN HELL, is now available in print.
************************************************

Want a taste of Heaven? Go to Hell.

Legend has it that the Incubi were originally fallen angels, irresistible creatures who sacrificed their place in Paradise for the touch of mortal lovers. They live among us still, in the shadowy, dream-haunted fringes of modern society, indulging their insatiable lust and feeding on our desire—with our blessings.

The Rose Legacy
A valuable inheritance is passed from one female member of a wealthy family to another, as it has been for centuries. But Camille Price, the beneficiary, doesn’t know it’s a generational curse that includes sacrificing her body and soul to an Incubus who fulfills her every erotic dream—and nightmare.

Ravenous
Failed cleric Adam Bachmann knows a demon when he sees one. He just can’t seem to resist succubus Leyla Cheval, even though her insatiable sexual appetite is draining him of life. To save himself and others, he must sacrifice the only heaven he’s ever known and destroy the dark angel he’s come to love.

EXCERPT:
***********************************************
