Trying for an update, here

Hey folks, I realized it had been a while since I updated anyone. Then I realized that beyond telling people that I'm writing 24/7, there really wasn't much to say. I know. My life is so glamorous and exciting, no?

I've been waking up at six every morning and crashing around one. Considering that I keep looking at my most recent sex scene and envisioning men hooked up like little choo choo trains with weird genitalia shaped hitches... I'm thinking I need to get more sleep.

This book I'm working on is the hardest I've ever written. The sad truth is that this hard work and effort will just end up on a pirate site the day it releases. I'll have worked this hard to be stolen from.

Unchaste is a male/male/male paranormal shifter time travel book. Yes, that's a mouthful in soooo many ways. Heh. Still, it's been fun and kind of refreshing to do something different. What's challenging is making all the men equal parts of the book and ending the book in a way that all three are in a believable happily ever after.

This is only my second menage ever. So menage writers out there, got any secrets for keeping things fresh and simple?

Time Travel

I'm working on a book for Resplendence which is part of an anthology. The guidelines of the antho are that it's erotic, menage, and shape shifter. All fantastic things. My first book for this year-long antho release is March 1st. I'm pretty excited about it and I've been doing a ton of research on a long forgotten tribe of Native Americans form the 11th and 12th centuries.

Given that time frame, I naturally have a time travel book going here. And per the guidelines, three men are hooking up (which always makes me think of a choo-choo train and attached cars).

My central hero, Flynn, is sent back in time. I won't get into the particulars on how, he just is. And here is where I suddenly get stuck. Does he come back and part of the magic of his transportation is that he suddenly speaks their language? Does he learn it at an expedited rate? This is a novella between 20-24k, so I don't have a year to lapse in here.

Also, this is a shifter, and Flynn is a shifter. But I'm now 4k into the story and first oh no, there hasn't been sex yet. The second oh no is, there's been no shifting. Sigh.

I think I have to go back and have Flynn arrive in shifted form. Which will actually work nicely for the direction of my story. But it does mean he can't start chatting right off the bat. As to the sex... me thinks he must arrive as a naked animal. Makes total sense as animals don't wear clothes. THEN when he shifts to human form, he's still nakey.

Now the problem is the language barrier. *grumble*

Ideas anyone?

Interesting weekend

I reworked that exchange of dialogue I posted from last week. Sage is still unhappily hard, but it had to happen and Joe is perfectly comfortable at the moment. Sage gets his next. If I'm reading the development right, there is approximately 6k left to write.

Had a review on Claimed by Darkness which caused me to chuckle. It appears my plot use of DNA in the book created much confusion for the reader. She'll be pleased to note that book 2 will not have similar scientific speak as Lothar is all action.

Other shit: Was asked this weekend to participate in a menage. Apparently my friend's husband wishes to see me naked, wants to watch me and other friends skinny dip, and says I'm "sexy". If I were the only female in a male sandwich, I might consider it. However, girl on girl has never appealed to me beyond a kiss and light petting.

Which reminds me: For excellent music www.DominateRadio.com and DJ Silver in particular. She's a little kinky and much fun as is her DJing fiance, Master Dark Crow.
