My Sexy Saturday #MSS165

This week's "My Sexy Saturday" theme is "Adventure".  In this snippet from the beginning of my soon to be released book, "Steele and Stone", Michael experiences a bit of excitement on a hike...

Flashing dot patterns passed in front of his eyes, and he wasn’t sure if it had to do with the cat to the side of the trail in front of him or the sexy feline under his left arm. They were closing in on the big cat fast. If he was going to die, he wasn’t prepared in the least. He thought of all the things he still wanted to do with his life: climb Mount Kilimanjaro, see Mount Vesuvius, scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef, and visit the Louvre. He might never do any of it, it seemed. Not in this lifetime, anyways. If he got out of there, he’d make it a point to do one big trip a year.

Greatest Accomplishment (week 40)

52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

Okay, this one is predictable.  My greatest accomplishment is being a mom to my wonderful son.  I wanted to be a mom for a long time before it finally happened, and every day since has been a roller coaster (and, important fact here…..I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS!).  Being a parent is harder than I thought it would be, but it’s also WAY BETTER than I ever dreamt it would be.  The pride I feel when I see his interactions with the world is overwhelming.  Watching him grow into the man he will be, is mesmerizing.

The most important thing a parent can do is raise their child to be a positive influence on the world.  I hope I’m accomplishing that.

Love and Peace,  

Kay 

Your Heritage (week 39)

52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

I wish I knew. Seriously.

I’m envious of friends that have a defining heritage to identify with.  I have none, but I will claim one.  AMERICAN!  I’m a prime example of the melting pot of the world – the great country (still great!) that welcomed immigrants – immigrants who fell in love with and married other immigrants, and over and over.

I do know, however, that I have a mix of French, German, English and American Indian in there somewhere.  I’ve actually pondered getting a DNA test done to find out.  Genetics are a fascinating thing.

Love and Peace,

My Sexy Saturday #MSS164

This week's "My Sexy Saturday" theme is "Sexy Rising".  In this snippet from my soon to be released book, "Steele and Stone", Michael wakes up from an ...interesting dream.

The hotel phone was ringing. He shook his head and reached for it.

“Hello?” he answered, his voice raspy.

“Good morning Mr. Williams, this is your six a.m. wake up call,” said a male voice before the line went dead.

“Uh, thanks,” grumbled Michael and hung up the phone and lay back on the bed, his erection throbbing against the sheet. He rubbed his hands through his hair and over his face before glancing again at the clock.

Music You Love (week 38)

52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

ALL OF IT!

Well, let me re-phrase it.  I don’t like modern country music.  So, with the exception of that, I’m pretty eclectic.  You’d be just as likely to find me rocking out at an Iron Maiden concert, as at a performance of the local bagpipe society.  There are many weekends that I’ve been known to dance like a goofball at a local 80’s band performance (I love the dorky 80’s music)!  When I’m upset or tense, I listen to the local classical station because I find wordless music soothes me.  When I’m cleaning the house, I’m listening to Prince or old school rap.

So, you see, I’m difficult to pin down in the music department.  It’s all good (ok, and SOME country is tolerable, haha).

Love and Peace,  

Kay 

Something You Created (week 37)

52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

Time for some shameless self promotion!

In just a few short weeks, book 1 of my Daring Heart’s Series, Steele and Stone, will be available in paperback and e-book.  I wrote a book, and I’m proud of it.  More than that, I’ve written a few more that are in the works, along with some short stories and novellas.

 

If you have a dream, reach for it!

Love and Peace,

Elle Thompson was raised in Denver. She paints. She hikes. She knows how to avoid cougar attacks.

The only cougars Michael Williams usually worries about are the ones that wear leopard print leggings on 5th Avenue.

But, when his acquisition firm sets its sights on Elle's family business, his tidy life goes awry. As things unravel, so do all his preconceived notions of love and what makes a perfect partner.

Your Home (week 36)

52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

Home is ultimately where the heart is.  It’s true.  While I am very attached to the current home I live in, I realize that without the love inside it, it’s just a box.  It’s been a strange year.  I’ve had to say bittersweet goodbyes to two of the homes from my past.  They’d both become a shadow of their former selves.  It was time. 

Time flies.

Love and Peace,

Your Neighborhood (week 35)

52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

I currently live in the same house I grew up in (though, I had a long absence from it in between).  But, I love my neighborhood.  It’s an older neighborhood for this city, it definitely quirky, and it’s grown a lot since I was shorter.  I remember coyotes running down the street, and riding my horse in the empty desert when I was young.  I haven’t seen a coyote around my neighborhood in years, and although I still see young girls riding their horses, they’re talking on their cell phones at the same time.

 

Time flies.

Love and Peace,

My Sexy Saturday #MSS163

This week's "My Sexy Saturday" theme is "Surprise".  This is a snippet from my soon to be released book, "Steele and Stone", which reveals a nasty surprise that my hero encountered during his previous relationship. Yuk.  Well, sometimes bad things happen for a reason...

Michael had grabbed a cab from the airport to take him to the condo he shared with Sandra, his fiancée. He had come home early in hopes of surprising her and picked up the mail on the way in. But when he laid it on the counter he had seen an unfamiliar set of keys. More than that, he saw the remnants of a homemade pasta dinner for two on the table and realized that the sounds he heard weren’t coming from their porn-addicted neighbor’s TV, but from his bedroom.

My Sexy Saturday #MSS162

This week's "My Sexy Saturday" theme is "Sexy in History".  This is a snippet from my soon to be released book, "Steele and Stone", which reveals a bit of the swarmy history of the company Michael works for.  Will he continue to work for them?

“Well, the partner is out of the country. So I don’t know if that means he’s a foreign investor, or what. I don’t know what to think. They’ve let me use their conference room, which tells me they are warming up to the idea, but I haven’t heard a peep from the other guy. Zilch.”

“Do you know his name yet?”

“Nope. Sorry, Uncle, but Randall let it slip that he was foreign,” he lied, consciously leaving Elle out of the equation. If John knew what he suspected, he would launch a full-scale background check on her, digging up who knows what and completely invading her privacy. John knew no boundaries, but Michael did, and information freely listed on the Internet was as far as he would go.

“So offer them a few thousand more. See what that does.”

“A few thousand? I don’t see how that will increase our bargaining power any. We’ve already offered them full current net worth as it is. I think we should offer them at least a hundred thousand more, based on their current contracts. Also, it seems that Randall wants an agreement that we will keep the current staff.”

John shrugged. “Maybe he wants a new car out of it. A golden parachute and all that. You know the type. We can discuss the final offer tomorrow at the office. As far as the staff, go ahead and agree to it. Write something up, but keep the wording vague and open to interpretation. When we sell them, it won’t matter anyway.”

Michael hated knowing John already had plans to sell Stone Mountain Partners for a profit almost immediately after the acquisition. All the kind negotiations regarding staff and benefits were purely for show. It felt so dirty, and they had done it many times before.
