Well, after several months of not having a novel with Ravenous Romance, I am hard at work on WAVES OF PLEASURE.  Did you read my story "Legs" in the SPELLBOUND anthology?  That was my first time playing with the mermaid legands which are a part of nearly ever culture.

Now, I am creating a passionate story for Lyria, a mermaid decedant of Melusine who can shift from legs to fin at will, and Drew, a disillusioned man who thinks trust is overrated and is horrified to find himself back in his hometown.

It's been great fun building Lyria's world, which has some human aspects, and story as she does what she believes she can never do - love and trust a human - all while keeping the Stone of Fate away from the sea dragon.

Look for it later this summer!

Happy Launch Day for SEX AND TAXES...

Happy Launch Day for SEX AND TAXES...


The new anthology, SEX AND TAXES, was just released today. The timing couldn't have been better, and the stories are hot. I contributed a gay story to this that's about a sexy personal trainer who seeks help with his taxes from a nerdy accountant. But once they start working together, it turns out the nerdy accountant is interested in much more than just taxes. Below is the intro to the book. I'll post something from my story later this week.
It’s that time of the year again, when we try to make sense of every receipt, credit card charge, and explain how we spent so much on taxi cabs and dry cleaning. I am always fascinated by what I spent and how I spent it, but bored beyond belief at having to go through the process of tallying up these figures and explaining them to my accountant, who is another single woman like myself.
It takes me days to get my personal taxes in order because I daydream about anything but doing my taxes. I also daydream about some hot young accountant doing my taxes, and then about me doing some hot young accountant.
And that’s what inspired this anthology.
Believe it or not, I think the process of doing my taxes leads to erotic daydreams. And that’s the case with these ten stories about desperate taxpayers and the accountants who service them, as well as the IRS agents who take advantage of them, or allow themselves to be taken advantage of. There’s even a true bloodsucking accountant in the mix.
So we hope that after you’ve waited on that long line at he post office to send your taxes to the feds and the state (with your check enclosed), you’ll curl up with this nice ebook and think about what could have been. Or maybe start looking for a hot new accountant for next year (and send us a referral!).

When I'm Not Writing or working on the Ravenous Blog Tour...
2009.04.15 07:39:08

I'm making driftwood art from things found on Ocean Beach near my house.  This one is an exception in that I used some bits and pieces from my step-grandma's shell collection, which I inherited.  I needed a few eldritch items to make sure Cthulhu had the proper stygian, elder god aura. This was for a friend's birthday present.  She collects Cthulhu beanie babies.

Cthulu

This is Vino.  Dave wouldn't let me give it away 'cause he likes the shell on the left side. It's hanging in our kitchen!


This one is made up entirely from shells, driftwood and beach glass found on Ocean Beach.  The rope, glue and Spanish moss are store bought.  Haven't figured out how to get glue from the beach yet!

T

This was made for Maureen's birthday.  If you've read MURDER FOR  HIRE, think Daphne.  She's my best friend, lives in a cottage in La Jolla and this is now the name of that cottage.

And this was made for my friend and writing partner, T. Chris Martindale.  I asked him what his favorite word was and this was his response.  ;-)

2009.03.11 01:07:58

"If you’re looking for a big dose of fun to go along with your romance, look no farther than Inara Lavey’s novel Ripping the Bodice. This story positively sparkles with wit and humor that will keep the reader laughing all the way through and wondering what on earth could possibly happen next."

Click here to read the rest, and join me in my happy dance!  :-)

First Post

Now that Mercury has turned direct, it's time to begin--new novels, short stories, anthologies and blogs. So here I am ... Regina Perry, author of Playgirl, "Brettsturbation" and "Tan Lines." I feel privileged and honored to be among these talented authors. I hope you're enjoying the novels and short stories at Ravenous Romance as much as I am.

"Brettsturbation" is a prequel short story to the novel, Playgirl. The story is an expanded scene from Chapter 5. Alena Conner, a suppressed Kansas rancher's wife, is fascinated with the world of sex exposed on the Internet. Stumbling across an interactive chatroom with live, naked male models she becomes preoccupied and logs in every chance she gets. She hits the jackpot one lonely Friday afternoon when she's the only viewer chatting in Brett's room. Engage in the pleasure as you read how he teaches Alena the exhilaration of cyberspace. Then read Playgirl and join Alena on her journey to discover and accept her sexuality and healthy libido.

Hugs,

Regina Perry

Behind the Funny mask i wear ....
2009.01.30 10:55:28

I don't know if the people that know me best realize that they are always the templates for the characters I write, or that you can tell if I am happy or not with each by the way the character behaves. I once wrote a short story that started off as a misguided love affair between a woman (me) and a werewolf ( a former lover of mine). The lover was not a very big fan of the truth, and when I caught  him in yet another lie, not only was the real life affair over, so was the affair between the woman and the werewolf. I killed that wolfie, big time!

In The Brotherhood: To Lay or to Slay, my female lead is the best and worst parts of me. Well, at least for the most part. Richmond, the Slayer in the series is my current paramor, although I would only admit that to him if I were being stretched on a rack or being denied chocolate.(You know, tortured!) He has been my inspiration, not only for that one character, but to give some real depth to others, as well as naming a few. In fact, he was angry that I killed off one of the characters that he helped me name. Honestly, if you write about vampire slayers, eventually someone has to be, well, slain!

Alex's next adventure is going to take her deeper into her own nature than she might be ready for, and will explore more of the sensuality of the vampire. Because, let's face it, fear them, loathe them or love them, we are all just a little turned on by a dark haired, white fanged hottie!

Writer’s Separation Anxiety
2009.01.23 21:04:17

You know that sick feeling you get when you've spent a lot of time with someone you really enjoy, but now you've got to leave them indefinitely? It's almost the same as being homesick. Well, I have it...but over a character.

I'm wrapping up the second novel in the Blood & Sex series, and I'm finding that I have a severe case of separation anxiety. Jonas and his new love have been such entertaining people to spend time with. I've enjoyed writing his story and watching them fall in love. As always, that fratello has taken me to some pretty kinky places and shown me things beyond what I could have imagined. He's so fascinating and such a strong personality that throughout the story, I found that I was dreaming about him. I would wake up and couldn't wait to write more, just so that I could see him. Talk about a case of writer's schizophrenia!

Now, I'm finishing the edits and still writing about him here and there. It's new stuff that has nothing to do with his romance with Elena. It won't even be in the books, but I can't stop. He's insatiable. I thought that he just enjoyed watching me drool. But now I'm starting to wonder if he's going to make room for the third hero. Michael was fun, but by the time I was done with Michael's first draft, Jonas was standing around, tapping his foot, and occasionally flashing a set of handcuffs and a lascivious grin in my direction. The third hero is quiet, not quite the flirt that Jonas is.

I think I'm going to have to strap Jonas into some of his bondage equipment and leave him there while I spend a little time with bachelor number three.

Until tomorrow...

Angie

Yesterday, I learned that Powell’s will carry my novels, Broken and Shattered.

The Nazca Plains Corporation, the small press that published them, delivered books to me last August, barely more than a month after I signed the contract.  Normally, with a traditional publisher, that’s a one- to two- year process.

But the distribution network works at the same snail’s pace regardless of how fast books come off the presses.  The novels weren’t even available for most bookstores to order until mid-November. According to the website, Powell’s is accepting preorders for May.

So my books have only been available to folks who know me and those who found out about my novels via my website, mailing list, My Space profile, or stumbled across listings by the publisher, Relatively Wilde, or Amazon.

The owner of Relatively Wilde has been very supportive, carrying my books even though he mostly sells non-fiction, and working with me on promotions. I have seen my books for sale as part of his displays at a number of events in the past several months.

But, knowing I will be able to walk into Powell’s (where I can and regularly do get lost in the stacks) and see my books on the shelf, has given me a thrill. All authors dream of seeing their published work on display where anyone can purchase it. That, and all the wonderful comments/reviews by folks who have read the books so far, make it easier to keep writing despite rejection and hardship.

Where do I find my ideas?
2009.01.16 22:20:38

Where do I find my ideas? Everywhere!

 

I jump off on tangents, one after the other.

 

Just there, up above, I accidentally typed "w-e-r-e" instead of "w-h-e-r-e" in everywhere. (Of course I went back and fixed it.)

 

But my first thought wasn't were, as in was, past tense, we were, I was, but were, as in were-wolf, were-bear.

 

Pronounced "where". I guess that's why I typed it originally.

 

You might be wondering what this has to do with finding ideas.

 

So, the tangent hopping had me visualizing hopping from log, to log, to log.

 

Where might such a thing happen? Where are there logs? Who would be hopping from log to log? (Besides a frog...)

 

Perhaps a contest for the strongest, most agile, muscular man in a female dominated society.... Where women rule and men are just physical labor....

 

But what if a ruler in this land falls in love with a man, a were-man, who is really something else when he isn't with her?

 

What could he be?

 

What if she values his counsel, and actually heeded his advice, but she would be publicly hanged if found out?

 

But she cannot possibly give up his touch. His caresses. His tongue lashings.

 

Who would have such a tongue?

 

Perhaps a snake; a pronged tongue to lick her most sensitive places. And who wouldn't listen to counsel when being lavished this way?

 

Perhaps he is a spy to win back man's place in society.... To put women back in bondage... What if she is the lynch-pin to the undoing of all woman-kind?

 

This is starting to sound like an erotic version of the Garden of Eden. I just need an apple. Loads of stories used apples, even Snow White...

 

All that from a typo. And I don't even think there's much there...

 

yet....

 

Hmmmm. Typo.

 

Type O. I'm type O. I wonder if that would be the Cristal among vampires?

 

Excuse me, I have some tangents to follow....

 

Please join me in my virtual imagination by leaving a comment, question, or thought.

Hi, all!

Sigh. 

I had a much more lengthy and spectacular post planned for my very first addition to my Inara LaVey author blog page here, but it got eaten by my computer.  Which brings me to my very first piece of writerly advice:

Never compose online. And if you DO choose to ignore this advice, make sure you save your drafts compulsively. 

I don't offer this advice lightly.  I have lost numerous articles, posts and emails by blithely writing away online, only to have my 'net connection vanish or my computer freeze or any number of mishaps (one of my cats once jumped on my laptop and managed to disconnect me from the 'net) which resulted in me having to rewrite whatever it was I was working on at the time.  Many a King Homer-like D'OH!!!!!! has rung out through the halls of work or home because of my inability to follow my own advice. 

Use me as an object lesson.  Don't let this happen to you. 

That being said...New Author Blog Page!  Sweet!! 

I'm very happy to be part of Ravenous Romance and looking forward to reading my fellow authors' works and hearing from readers who've read my  work!   Now excuse me while I go OFF line and rewrite my original blog post for tomorrow.
