<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wished I could simply lose myself in loving. But I didn’t have a means to close my mind to the ticker tape thoughts that ran endlessly. <br /><br />Thomas had always been my connection to the world that lay beyond titles and privilege — an enviable salt of the earth who might go where he wished and do as he pleased. Through his connections to other servants, he knew the rough side of London. Anything I’d learned about the city’s seedier side I’d learned from him. If he didn’t know, he’d know someone who knew someone who did. But Thom was gone. I had no such connections and I felt as helpless and vulnerable as a quail chick without a wing to hide under. <br /><br />A madman was out there in a dark corner, an insidious spider weaving his web and waiting for the day I’d innocently stumble into it. Bruno wished to hurt me and how I saw it, he had several ways in which to do this. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">With Leonardo da Vinci’s book of love poems and sketches safe in their possession, lovers Nicolas, Ellie, and Luca discover the book harbors a secret – carefully disguised declarations of love from Leonardo to his long-time lover Salai. The trio begins a quest to follow the book’s clues to other hidden messages of love tucked into well-known da Vinci masterpieces now scattered across Europe. Their quest is cut short however, when a tragic turn of events reveals a terrible truth – Conte Bruno lives and is bent upon revenge. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Art Historian Nicolas Halstead never could have imagined a book Leonardo
da Vinci created for his lover Salai existed, let alone lead to subtle
declarations of love worked into da Vinci masterpieces. Nor did he ever
picture himself a married man in a polyamorous relationship.
</span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Happy and content, lovers Nicolas, Ellie, and Luca embark on a quest
to learn all they can about the greatest mind of the Renaissance. But
their world takes a devastating and deadly turn that sends Nicolas into
the seedy deviant underworld of Victorian London. It soon becomes clear
that Conte Acario Bruno lives, and the madman wants far more than
Leonardo’s book. He wants Nicolas dead and Luca for himself.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b> </b></span><br /> <b><span style="color: magenta;">My seven:</span></b><br />When I’d drained him fully, she came to us and lay between-- the nymph had her own arousal to see to. For the remaining hour, Luca and I lost ourselves in her secret places. When she writhed, we loved her in tandem. It wasn’t long before her climax blazed into being. Unbelievably, when her first crescendo ended, she called for another. It took Herculean effort on our part. The Goddess was insatiable in her amusements. <br /></span></span><br />

Normally I would have sent you to Madeline Archer's blog, but I'm doing the MFRW Book Hooks there today. When you're finished with our Entice Me event, I invite you to go see the rest of my blogs. It's a very busy hump day!<br /><br /> Madeline is my
new pen name. While Rose Anderson writes the intimate side of
award-winning romance and will continue to do so, Madeline writes the
other flavors of fiction. It might be a sweeter love story, an
otherworldly walk in the twilight zone, or something <i>dark... </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Today it's a bit from the sweeter side of my imagination.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">..</span>

<b><br /><br />Blurb~</b>
<i>The story opens with the notorious witch hunts in 17th Century Salem,
Massachusetts.</i>
<br /><br />As formal education for women lacks substance in 1904, Neila Flannigan
leaves Ireland to attend Radcliffe women’s college in America. Shy and
introverted, Neila passes her lonesome hours sketching the Harvard
grounds and sending drawings home to her father. A chance encounter with
a kind and elderly Irish woman inspires her to sketch a statue in an
old, unused building. Desperately lonely, Neila ends up sharing her
thoughts and feelings with a man carved in stone. Some days it feels
like he listens.</span></span>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> From the moment Finola woke that morning, her skin felt prickly. It was noticeable when she set her dough to rise and it grew stronger as the day went on. The prickling sensation often appeared when something was amiss. As a result, apprehension shadowed her steps all day. As did Martin. The packrat sensed trouble too. He dogged her heels instead of questing for trinkets, as a packrat was wont to do.<br /> A glimmer of black and white flashed overhead, catching the corner of her eye. She glanced at the wooded path. The piebald raven always arrived ahead of Abigayle. Seeing no one, Finola returned to skimming scum off the brining pork. Finished, she topped the barrel lid with heavy stones to keep vermin out, particularly the marauding raccoons that wore masks like highwaymen and thieved with the best of them.<br /> Wiping her hands on her apron, she turned back to the trailhead and waited. Her daughter’s family lived on the adjacent lands, in the clearing below the wooded hillside. It should not take this long for Abigayle to venture here. The bird returned and widely circled three more times before disappearing beyond the trees. Finding his behavior both anxious and agitated, Finola frowned and murmured, “Where are ye, girl?”<br /> Turning to the packrat sitting atop the pork barrel, she told her familiar, “I’m feelin’ uneasy, Martin. Abigayle should have come by now.” Her chin jerked skyward, she mumbled, “And will you look at him? Something is amiss.”<br /> Martin nodded.<br /> The raven had been her daughter’s constant companion from the day the child found the featherless chick thrown from the nest. Not every witch was chosen by a familiar spirit but witches in her bloodline often were. Familiar spirits were the channel that connected all of nature, their power drawn from the essence of both God and Goddess. If a witch had a familiar as a companion, that same channel made the witch’s magic stronger.<br /> A pang of sadness followed that memory. The chick came to Abigayle the day Auld Agnes and her familiar, a bandy cat named Nicodemus, were put to death. Finola couldn’t help but remember—that terrible day was etched upon her heart. The circumstances that led to the crone’s death sentence were not her doing. Auld Agnes had midwifed a babe born with a terrible affliction to its face, with a malformation so severe that not even careful stitching could mend it. Aggrieved by the sight, the mother smothered the infant and then blamed the old woman, declaring the midwife’s devil’s witchcraft had caused both the deformity and the death.<br /> The gentle old crone had been wrongly accused and imprisoned; her fate fueled by prejudice and superstition. Of course Auld Agnes could not defend herself beyond the facts, so her silence was taken as admission of guilt. The court declared her a devil-worshiping witch. Auld Agnes was indeed a hereditary witch—a worker of the Auld Ways—but no devil worshiper. Devil’s work was never done among their kind.</span></span><br />

While Rose Anderson writes the intimate side of award-winning romance and will continue to do so, <i><b>Madeline Archer </b></i>will write the other flavors of fiction. Madeline will keep my writing styles and genres separate and write everything Rose doesn't.

her hands on her apron, she turned back to the trailhead and waited.
Her daughter’s family lived on the adjacent lands, in the clearing below
the wooded hillside. It should not take this long for Abigayle to
venture here. The bird returned and widely circled three more times
before disappearing beyond the trees. Finding his behavior both anxious
and agitated, Finola frowned and murmured, <br /><br />“Where are ye, girl?”<br /><br />Turning
to the packrat sitting atop the pork barrel, she told her familiar,
“I’m feelin’ uneasy, Martin. Abigayle should have come by now.” Her chin
jerked skyward, she mumbled, “And will you look at him? Something is
amiss.”<br /><br />Martin nodded.<br /> </span></span> <br /><b><span style="color: magenta;">Blurb~</span></b><br /><i>The story opens with the notorious witch hunts in 17th Century Salem, Massachusetts. </i><br /><br />As formal education for women lacks substance in her own country, Neila Flannigan leaves Ireland in 1904 to attend Radcliffe women’s college America. Shy and introverted, Neila passes her lonesome hours sketching the Harvard grounds and sending drawings home to her father. A chance encounter with a kind and elderly Irish woman inspires her to sketch a statue in an old, unused building. Desperately lonely, Neila ends up sharing her thoughts and feelings with a man carved in stone. Some days it feels like he listens.<br /><br /><b><span style="color: magenta;">Setting the Stage~</span></b><br />In the scene above, the notion of foreboding dogging Finola Maguire's steps all day comes to fruition when a piebald raven swoops into view. He's not actually a raven but Nicodemus her daughter’s witch's familiar in bird form. The ancient eldrich spirit seems agitated...</span></span><br />

stayed just out of Osgood’s reach. Awash with a sense of familiar and feeling
unaccountably unsettled, he recorked the wine and left the butlery to join the
women in their transaction. As he advanced down the hall, he got a good look at
the peddler. She was old and crabbed and looked to be in advanced age. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">That old peddler has been here before.</i>
His brows drew downward as the elusive memory popped into his mind. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twenty years ago! </i>Nearly twenty years
had passed but she’d hadn’t aged a day, in fact, she looked exactly the same.
As the woman turned to leave, he hurried down the corridor, shouting, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stop madam!</i> Stop <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">right</i> there!”</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: purple;">What just happened~ </span></b>Osgood is decanting the sherry when he hears a voice that sounds disturbingly familiar. It turns out it belongs to that old woman who tried to kidnap young master Lenox as a boy. She hasn't aged a day, and for good reason. That person at the door is not an apple peddler nor is she an old woman.</span></span><br />

I have watched over you through time but I can watch no longer. Please forgive me, I have failed you….” His throat choked close. Swallowing hard, he whispered to the earth that half-covered his wife, “Again.” <br />Kneeling beside the dirt-encrusted bones, he pulled the cover away to expose them fully. The small bones of the baby he knew laid with its mother had dissolved in the acids of the soil. Gently digging through the loam between the exposed rib bones, his fingers found the bird stone, its cord long since returned to the earth.

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 10, followed by details~</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the past two days, I’d barely eaten a bite nor slept more than a few hours at best. Nightmares seemed to come the moment I closed my eyes. Card-dealing gypsies played a prominent role, as did their cards of doom. Rolling, bone-crushing carriages carrying screaming women or led by screaming horses competed for vividness with the caved-in face of the man I’d killed in Venice. I saw Thomas and Ellie savaged while torches blazed, and books, paintings, and ossuary bones fell from shelves and walls in an avalanche. In one nightmare, Luca emerged from a mangled carriage like a marble nude streaked in blood. In another, Bruno laid dead at the bottom of the staircase with staring facsimile eyes painted on his closed eyelids, which then opened to reveal the pale cold stare of a corpse. Several times I woke in a panic, having dreamt everyone I loved was dead or gone. I missed Ellie and Luca desperately at night. While I’d had several nightmares since leaving Venice, usually I was able to fall back asleep by simply feeling their bodies against mine. </span></span><div style="text-align: left;">

It's bad news, the addition of which adds to the growing unease that has already manifested several nightmares. Away from his companions, the disturbing dreams return full force. He can't shake the fear that something is brewing...</span></span><b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span></b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><i>Loving Leonardo</i>
has a message of tolerance between the lines. Aside from that, it's an
exciting, sexy romp through Victorian Europe on a quest for a book
written and illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci for his homosexual lover
Salai. Discover the story in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B004XDGWL6" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><i>The Leonardo Chronicles</i></span></a>. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 10, followed by details~</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We’d all been helplessly tossed upon a course that wasn’t of our own making, and it remained to us to survive it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Small, nearly imperceptible changes unfolded before me as though a beam of sunlight passed over her portrait in a mightily compressed sense of time. I watched her pupils slightly dilate as they searched from one to the other of my own. The shift of emotion showed first in her eyes. This I felt it as much as I witnessed it, for more than our minds were connected; our hearts and souls were linked. Hunting down Leonardo’s book had been a lark. But what began as a lark had bloomed into companionship, commonality, and profound love between the three of us. Especially between us two. She needed me as I needed her, as we needed him. <br /><br />Her face turned to my palm and I felt her kiss upon it. </span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />What just happened~</span></span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Luca is missing and a murdering madman is at large. Nicolas and Ellie are strung tight as bow strings with worry. Prior to this scene, Nicolas finds his wife in a gaming salon disguised as a young man. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When he gets her home</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, tears of fear and frustration follow.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> London is a big place and Nicolas doesn't know where to look next. Needless to say, tensions are high.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>What's at the heart of this unusual love story?</b><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><i>Loving Leonardo</i>
has a message of tolerance between the lines. Aside from that, it's an
exciting, sexy romp through Victorian Europe on a quest for a book
written and illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci for his homosexual lover
Salai. Discover the story in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B004XDGWL6" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><i>The Leonardo Chronicles</i></span></a>. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I
watched my wife prepare herself, standing before the wall mirror, her
tongue poking in concentration as she arranged the pins in her hair and
tightened the curls that were want to spill free. Several cinnamon
strands wouldn’t cooperate and these she rolled around and around her
finger until they were tight curls to be tucked under the rest. I was
transfixed by the deliberate feminine processes whose end results were
suggestive of the coifs of Degas’ ballerinas. Thomas was correct. Women
were a breed apart, but as the French said, <i>Vive La Différence! </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She
removed her blouse, skirts, and bustle, and for some reason my mind
took a different turn. In my mind’s eye I saw her naked and gagged with a
burlap sack over her head. For two days now my mind had been
intermittently taken by that terrible image, followed by an
instantaneous albeit short-lived feeling of dread. I couldn’t say why,
but for some reason I felt it now. The sensation that Thomas often
referred to as “a goose walking over a grave.” Kneeling, I helped her
from her shoes and stockings. Lifting the hem of her camisole, I pressed
my forehead to her bare belly and hugged her to me. How I loved this
precious nymph. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Leaving the violence of Venice behind, my trio heads to Rome to follow clues in Leonardo da Vinci's book. Nicolas has been feeling a heavy sense of dread over the last few days. Here he takes a moment to appreciate his wife and the dread returns unbidden.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Something is not quite right. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;"><i>Loving Leonardo</i> has a message of tolerance between the lines.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 10, followed by details~</b></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our quarters faced the fountain with its Egyptian obelisk in the center, and the ancient Pantheon just beyond. Luca procured a room two doors down. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />Rome was a bustling place with beggars and pilgrims packing the streets like so many sardines in a tin. Human nature being what it is, we decided to remove temptation and paid to have Ellie’s entire trousseau and my trunk brought into our rooms. There may be pious devotion here, but as we witnessed a half-dozen pickpockets in action, we were certain the counterbalance had a strong footing too.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />I stood at the window looking down upon the busy street while Ellie attended to her <i>toilette.</i> I’d been in Rome on my grand tour and this visit, as the last, filled me with the same dichotomy of emotion. My eye was caught by a shriveled slovenly woman begging on the street below who had a babe in arms and no fewer than seven hungry, filthy children in orbit around her skirts. Within a few feet, a rotund cardinal with his bright red robes and matching wide-brimmed biretta walked by happily devouring his pastry. He didn’t give the starving children a second glance, not even the toddling child who held a beseeching hand out as he walked by. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />What just happened~</span></span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the hunt for fanciful declarations of love from </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Leonardo da Vinci to his long-time lover Salai, </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">m</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">y companions have just arrived at their hotel in Rome. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They plan to visit the Vatican Museum. Clues in Leonardo's book suggest a particular painting has da Vinci's message to his lover</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> worked into it somehow.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Nicolas has been to Rome before. As a sensitive soul, the stark contrast between the haves and have nots sits heavy on his heart.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<br />

Aside from that, it's an exciting, sexy romp through Victorian Europe on a quest for a book written and illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci for his homosexual lover Salai. <br /><br />There are two books in the ongoing adventure series and more to come.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 10, followed by details~</b></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We were hungry to experience life through complete abandon to the senses in the way of da Vinci himself, and if that meant wine at tea, then we’d happily partake.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Very much like the three of us, da Vinci was extremely curious with an insatiable desire to learn. He tested knowledge through experience and sensorial intake. In this he went so far as to implement the removal of senses such as sight, that the other senses might be enlivened, and included ambidexterity as a method to experience all. One of the most intriguing things about him was his eye for beauty; an eye where others were blind. His sketches of grotesquely deformed faces and bodies clearly proved it. This gift and his genius enabled him to go beyond conventional thought. I was coming to see Ellie and I as being very much like our friend Leonardo, for we too were a paradox to convention. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Enjoying our continental <i>merenda</i>, we picked up the conversation where we’d left it the day before — discussing the ideals of classical antiquity that inspired the Renaissance and made da Vinci the man he was. I described to my companions how the artists of the time yearned for perfection in their work — the same perfect beauty Homer and Virgil strived to achieve in their verse. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />What just happened~</span></span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Absorbed in a new friendship aboard ship, newlyweds Nicolas and Ellie share a <i>merenda </i>with Luca and continue their discussion about Leonardo da Vinci. (A <i>merenda</i> is the Venetian version of afternoon tea) They haven't yet shared with Luca their quest for da Vinci's long lost book. It's turning out the three are indeed</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> kindred spirits -- three sensitive souls yearning for their own version of perfection in the rapidly changing times of the Industrial Revolution. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>What's at the heart of this unusual love story?</b><br /><span style="color: black;">My little dog watches TV. She really does. Nothing makes the little couch potato's day better than a good cat food commercial she can growl at. Cute.<br /><br />I don't normally listen to the low drone in the background. One day the midday news came on and it caught my attention. It was a full hour of negative social commentary -- ugly things like bigotry and sexism, forced medical procedures on women, and sneers and jeers at education.. like bettering oneself was a bad thing. Each bit of the news got under my skin like it never had before. There was just. so. much. My generation fought for equality as did those who came before. But it's very true when you finally get some ground under your feet, it feels so good to stand on the accomplishment, the thought of keeping that ground gets smaller in one's mind. <br /><br />That's where Ellie came from, the heroine in <i>Loving Leonardo</i>. My unusual love story began with this negative news show. The issues I was hearing were Suffragette issues, and you'd think 100+ years later, we wouldn't have to fight for the same ground we'd already won. <br /><br />The straw that broke this camel's back that day was one about long-time lovers kept apart because they were the same gender. That particular story was heartbreaking. The men had been partners for decades, their love for one another clear in their long commitment. But now one man lay on his deathbed. The other was fighting the courts to be by his side, but both ran out of time. From this tragic story my writer's mind created Nicolas and Luca.<br /><br />I've felt for a while that society is sliding backwards and there's no doubt the ugliness is spreading. What's one romance writer to do? <br /><br />Counter with love, of course. <br /><br />As if directed by some unseen hand, I walked away from the novel I was working on and stepped into the past. My Ellie is a Suffragette and she loves two well-educated men who happen to love each other too. Yes, <i>Loving Leonardo</i> has a message of tolerance. Aside from that, it's an exciting, sexy romp through Victorian Europe on a quest for a book written and illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci for his homosexual lover Salai. <br /><br />There are two books in the ongoing series and more to come. I invite you into the decadent Victorian world of <i>Loving Leonardo </i>and <i>Loving Leonardo -The Quest.</i> Discover both in <i>The Leonardo Chronicles</i>. Available for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Leonardo-Chronicles-Bi-sexual-polyamorous-historical-ebook/dp/B00ZEM2JSU/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">pre-order on Amazon</span></a> and it costs less<span style="color: purple;"> <span style="color: black;">than buying separately</span></span>!</span><b><br /> </b></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 8, followed by details~</b><br />My thumbs absently rubbed her knobby knuckles. “As a child, whenever I was afraid, whenever I was sad, yours was the comfort I sought.” I drew a deep breath and let it out slowly with my words, “I’m afraid, dear heart. So much so it withers me inside.”<br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She mirrored my breath, “We must find Luca.” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Born into society as I was, my privileged station held me at arm’s length from the rest of the world for the whole of my life. I was blind to the underbelly of London and Thomas and his contacts weren’t here to help me navigate. I shook my head hopelessly and explained it all, adding, “I don’t know where to search.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />What just happened~</span></span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;">Murder casts a pall on Nicolas and Ellie's return to London and now Luca has gone missing. Here Nicolas sits with his housekeeper, Merriam Fletcher. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;">Theirs has always been an unusually close relationship by society's standards. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;">Orphaned at the tender age of six, he bonded with Mrs. Fletcher who was newly widowed at the time.</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"> </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;">In this scene he explains the sordid and dangerous story he's been living for the last few months as well as who he believes the murderer to be. There's no doubt in either mind that Luca is in danger. </span></span><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><i> </i></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>What this story is about~<br /> </b></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">This tale was inspired by intolerant news headlines.

Change comes slowly and is long overdue. </span></span></span>Rather than put my time on a blog rant, I immediately focused my opinion into a very unusual love story. Writing romance gives one the opportunity to create happy endings.<br /> :)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 8, followed by details~ </b></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Aside
from momentarily raising their heads to see who walked among them, the
ewes paid him little attention. Hobs frequented barns and stables,
sharing gossip, grain, and milk, and chasing rats and weasels away in
return. If Queen Oonagh ever discovered it was he who meddled in her
plots, the pieces of him would be too small to bait fishhooks for
sticklebacks. He must have voiced <span style="color: #666666;">t</span>his last thought aloud for the lone
ram bleated in reply. He told it, “You’re right Master Ram, she’ll not be
happy with me. Yes, yes, yes, that is <i>most</i> certain.” <br /><br />The ram bleated a question.<br /><br />Billy told him, “She plans to sacrifice the young prince.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />What just happened~ </span></span></b></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span></b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><i> </i></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">Billy Blin the Hob is pulling strings behind the scenes to make sure the mad Fae queen doesn't harm her sister Orlaith any more than she already has. Unknown to the queen, Billy placed Orlaith's </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">half-Fae </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">child in </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">his father's </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;">household to be raised in a manner befitting a prince.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Though the newborn prince is a changeling, at least he still lives. Now, twenty-four years after the deed, Queen Oonagh knows where her changeling nephew is. She sends Billy for him, and the hob intentionally bungled things. In this scene, Billy heads back to the Fae court of the <i>Aos Sidhe. </i>He's anticipating the queen's displeasure.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 8, followed by details~</b>The butler nodded, and said, “As I see it Fanny, the baker’s child is no more – taken away to some Faery hill no doubt, never to be seen again, if the old stories are true. This little boy did not belong with the Benton family anyway. He’s black-haired, for one. He’d grow being different, maybe disliked or mistrusted, even despised by his father as another man’s bastard. Danny Benton is a Highlander. You know how those people are with their superstitions and when they feel something isn’t quite right. The child would suffer for a situation completely out of his control. It harms no one that he be raised a Pendry.”<b><br /></b></span></span><br />

That same night a baby born to a large family was taken by the Fae and a half-blooded changeling left in its place. The midwife conspires with her sister who works as a lady's maid for the widow. The head butler on the estate gets in on the deception and the three change the course of everyone's lives. More importantly, after years of miscarriages and still births, the recent widow has a child to love. She won't care that her new son has slightly pointed ears.</span></span><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><i> </i></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">It's Sunday and time for the </span><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.wewriwa.com/" target="_blank"><b>Weekend Writing Warriors</b></a><span style="color: black;">. </span></span><span style="color: black;">Participants post 8 sentences from a writing project, either published or unpublished. Today it's a bit from my work in progress <i><b>~ The Changeling</b></i>. (to be released in 2015)</span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 8, followed by details~</b><br />Oonagh regarded each fully opened flower carefully as she walked among the roses, her silver clippers in hand. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">She couldn’t abide fading blooms and once had an entire plum thicket destroyed after a late-season frost caused the trees to drop their blossoms too soon. She couldn’t abide fading of any sort. In fact, more than one aging woman had been banished from the<i> Aos Sidhe</i> court. The courtiers’ faces, their aged and desiccated faces, hanging around her court like so many withered winter apples refusing to drop from the tree, reminded her of her own rapidly fading beauty. A wrinkled rose brought to mind her mother, Ensala, the source of this unwanted legacy. Frowning, Oonagh snipped the bloom from the stem and kicked it under the foliage, out of sight. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />What just happened~ </span></span></b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;">Queen Oonagh is a tad insane and in her insanity decides she can pay a tithe to hell in exchange for a wish granted. In her mind, such a wish would allow her to keep her beauty. In one night of unspeakable cruelty, she finds herself a sacrifice for her imagined tithe to hell --a changeling. He's half Fae and half human. He's also her nephew.</span></span><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><i> </i></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>What this story is about~</b> I adore fairytales. The Changeling is a Victorian spin on the fairytale of Tam Lin. The story is taken from </span></span></span></span><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">an old ballad from the borderlands of Scotland.</span></span></span><br />

tale was inspired by two interesting tidbits ~ an old maritime legend
of tears and sea water, and the actual genealogy belonging to one
Scottish family living today. They say as far back as the family legends
go, they <i>are</i> Selkie. Why not?</span></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;">Setting the stage:</span> </span></b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;">At this point in the story, Jenna has fled a stalking ex in Chicago, scattered her grandmother's ashes on the Isle of Skye, got her rented car stuck, and walked in an icy downpour to an inn. A comedy of errors gets her locked in a room </span></span></span><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">overnight </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;">with a stranger. Emotion getting the better of her, she vents on him and then slams a rather large scotch. The stranger doesn't seem so irritating now. Neither know her earlier tears have caught this Selkie in a dangerous charm.</span></span><b><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> She
arched against his hand for more, which he gave. Slowly pumping he
kissed her lips between his words, “But ye… must tell me… Jenna. D’ ye
wish… me… to continue?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> “Mmm, mmm, yes…I think so…” </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> There
was no need to ask again. Gathering her up in his arms, Alex carried
her to his bed and laid her there. Held closed by the lower buttons, the
flannel shirt twisted to reveal one breast and her wild uncombed hair
spilled over his pillow. Her uninhibited fingers toyed with her
uncovered nipple, while her bent knee swung back and forth invitingly
slow.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> His
animal senses sharp, he could smell her now, a heady note of desire in
the sensorial symphony of sea spray, scotch, peat, and soap. Though a
tremor of desire fumbled his hands over the zipper, he knew he’d rip the
clothes from his body just to have her. He finally managed to drop his
jeans and his tenting boxers were quickly discarded with the rest. When
his full length sprang free of its confines, her knee momentarily
paused. Standing before her with a blazing hard-on, his breath froze at
the look in her eyes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Jenna
watched him strip his clothing. Sultry slurred words hurried him along.
“You have a very …nice…” Her words trailed off. She licked her lips.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> His
mind extrapolated the rest he wanted to hear. “I’m glad ye think so,
love.” He was driven. Never in his life did he want a woman as badly as
he wanted her. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> He held himself. Words husky with desire, he whispered in awe, “I ache for ye, Jenna. I ache like I never have.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Kneeling
at the end of the bed, he kissed the top of her foot. Her knee once
more swung to and fro. Seeing invitation in that sensual display, he
kissed up the length of her leg, murmuring heated declarations of desire
between kisses. <br /> Though a part of him was keenly aware they didn’t know
one another, another part of him was certain he’d known her soul
forever. “I can hardly control this hunger for ye. Will ye allow me to
love you?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> “Hunger?” she asked breathlessly, as though his words weren’t fully registering. Again the knee stopped, this time falling wide.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> “Aye,
hunger. I’ve thought of nothing else since I first set my eyes upon
ye.” Ascending now, he kissed the place above her knee, relishing the
heat of her on his lips. Kissing her smooth inner thigh, he murmured
against her flesh, “Will ye allow this starving man—” he kissed the
velvet between, “—to bring ye pleasure?” He kissed again firmly this
time. Tasting how ready she was on his lips, he licked them before
asking, “Please say yes, Jenna. Please.” </span></span><br />

I introduced myself and for the effort got the salt passed to me. Then I introduced myself and my wife to the English couple directly across the table, a veritable Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sprat. In the din, I couldn’t quite make out their names — Anders, Landers, or Flanders — but it didn’t matter. The less-than-friendly wife was too absorbed in finding fault with an exemplary meal. Four times did she call for our server to complain about how cold her soup was and how hot her salad was, as well as how fishy the fish tasted, and she asked him to inform the cook that the peas were still in their pods. <br /> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ellie nudged my knee with hers. Mrs. Anders-Landers-Flanders’s complaints were laughable because we’d been served a cold soup of potato and leek, an intentionally hot salad of roasted pepper and ham, a pheasant course in cream that was by no means a fish course, and haricots verts which were obviously green beans and not unshelled peas. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"> Well researched historical and period novels always hold my attention. Here Rose Anderson presents a, for the period, taboo subject in a believable, well researched story. It barely takes any of Coleridge's "suspension of disbelief" to be drawn into the time and place of Ms Anderson's tale. Excellent, highly recommended. <br />~A Reader</span></i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 8, followed by details~</b><br />Now, I watched the woman leave. She moved like schooner through that sea of humanity with her string of little dinghies following behind. And the place where she’d stood in the square below was soon filled with other beggars and their prosperous counterparts. The sun was going down and the autumn night would be cold. Perhaps that little family would sleep warm tonight. I pictured the ragged poor huddled hungry and shivering in dark corners while fat cardinals dined like kings and slept on their featherbeds. It all made me feel quite low. My companions must have sensed it, for they drew me away from the balcony and closed the doors behind us.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />What just happened~</span></span></b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><i> At this point in the story Nicolas, Ellie and Luca are in Rome hunting down Da Vinci artworks for the hidden clues they hold. Rome is a dichotomy of haves and have nots. After noticing a poor ragged women with her hungry children in the square below his balcony window, Nicolas throws her enough coin to take her family away from this sad place of extremes. Unfortunately there are many more just like her.</i></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>What this story is about~<br /> </b></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">This tale was inspired by intolerant news headlines. One day I had heard a succession of negative commentary, a</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">nd every news talking point made that day had a corresponding point 100 years ago. Change comes slowly, I guess. </span></span></span>Rather than put my time on a blog rant, I immediately focused my opinion into a very unusual love story. Writing romance gives one the opportunity to create happy endings.<br /> :)</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: yellow;">Look for the Line</span><br />I kissed her neck, sweeping my lips to her ear where a small gold-and-garnet bob dangled from a tiny hole. I took it between my teeth and lightly pulled, stretching the lobe as it followed. Releasing it, I traveled on to the line of her jaw. With her pulse against my lips, I could almost hear the blood as I passed over her jugular. My hands came around and swept across her pert high breasts and firm yet pliant nipples.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />My cock found her as compelling as my mind did, for close as we were it sought familiar ground. I gripped myself with one hand and slowly dragged my spar along the split of her bottom as my other hand ran free upon her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />She turned to me then, the look in her eyes possessing a heat I knew corresponded to my own. Meeting that gaze, I felt the shift inside me. Only suspecting this truth the day before, I knew with a certainty then and there that I wasn’t the homosexual I’d always thought myself to be. Like Lord Byron and Hans Christian Andersen, I was bisexual — an androgynous epicene who took delight in all. I was immersed in delight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />Taking her in my arms, I slid my cock between her sleek thighs and she tightened her legs around me, effectively trapping me along the warm furrow of her sex. The heat emanating there made me dizzy to discover it. I could do nothing else but press forward. Locked in this intimate embrace, I bent my head to kiss her. I no sooner had my lips upon her when the first bell rang, signaling our fifteen minutes to dress for dinner. Her lust-dilated eyes became huge and her hands went to my chest as her upper body arched away from mine. “We have to dress!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />Reluctant to lose this moment of self-discovery, I drew her back and nuzzled the side of her neck. “Why?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />“For dinner.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /><span style="background-color: yellow;"><i>“You’re</i> my dinner.” </span>I drew her close once more and lightly bit her ear. She made a little noise halfway between a squeak and a gasp. It was adorable. </span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">It's Sunday and time for the </span><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.wewriwa.com/" target="_blank"><b>Weekend Writing Warriors</b></a><span style="color: black;">. </span></span><span style="color: black;">Participants post 8 sentences from a writing project, either published or unpublished. Today it's a bit from <i><b>Enchanted Skye </b></i>~</span></span></span><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"> a scorching contemporary tale.</span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First my 8, followed by details~</b><br />From the outside, the hidden entrance to the sea lay mostly submerged between three jutting crags. Buffeted by intermittent cascades of seawater and back-lit by the light of day, the cave took on</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> an eerie blue-green glow. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Alex dashed though the passage</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> stripping from his clothes</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> on the run</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">, his waterskin tucked tight under his arm. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When h</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">e </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">entered the rocky cavern, he was naked and breathless. Flinging the smooth skin over his shoulders, he hunkered down. The transformation was instantaneous. Dynamically streamlined flippers appeared where arms and legs had been a moment before. He flexed his muscles and arched his back, then turned his head from side to side to fit more comfortably within his second skin. <b><br /></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><br />What just happened~</span></span></b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><i> At this point in the story Alex has no idea he's under the effects of a charm. All he knows there's a chance to see Jenna. Taking his Selkie skin with him, he takes a shortcut.</i></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>What this story is about~<br /> </b></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">This tale was inspired by two interesting tidbits ~ an old maritime legend of tears and sea water, and the actual genealogy belonging to one Scottish family living today. They say as far back as the family legends go, they <i>are</i> Selkie. Why not?</span></span></span><br />

<i>“Ms. Anderson gives us another blending of ancient legends and modern life. In my opinion this is an outstanding story with the wonderful, surprise ending I’ve come to expect from this author. If you like reading smart and sexy romance novels, look no further. My only complaint would be Ms. Anderson needs to write faster!!!” <br />~A Reader</i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;">Vivienne and her mysterious pen pal S share their ideal kisses through email. It's Vivienne's turn and she relates a kiss she long ago experienced on a date. To
Vivienne, whose prior relationship cast her into a crisis of self-doubt, S's words
become a lifeline. After much correspondence she realizes she's falling hard for this guy she's never even seen. Will this kiss take them to the next step in their correspondence?</span></span></span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<i><span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>My Snippet:</b></span></span></span></i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />I wished in that moment my pen pal stood right here so I could say thank you. I’d thank him for lighting the match that eventually relit the candle of my self-confidence. I’d kiss him for real.<br /><br />I pressed my fingers to my lips, imagining this curious and compelling green-eyed, chestnut-haired, large-handed, well-endowed man kissing me. Flexing my fingers, I crafted a scene from the sizzling phantom fire playing over my lips.<br /><br />Having experienced amazing kisses in my life added just enough realism to the blend of movie kisses. I told the screen, “So, you want a kiss, eh? Then what will you think of this?” <br /><br /><i>S,<br />There is so much more to kissing for the first time than meets the eye. The would-be lovers laugh and smile and delight in each other’s company. They talk, getting to know each other, trying to find the choicest morsels of their life and personality to share. They might hold hands for hours as they wander here and there. And when they sit side by side, perhaps on a bench at a museum, they’ll look in feigned interest at the passersby, glance again and again at the exhibit, but not really see it. First, one will turn inward, the movement slight, barely noticeable. And then, with no clear knowledge of doing so, the one will magically mirror the other. Their knees may touch, and one set of clasped hands might rest innocently upon a knee. <br /><br />And then a noise, a temporary distraction, might take their attention for a second, and both heads will turn to the sound, inadvertently closer now than before. When one turns back, their faces will be mere inches apart. Their eyes, green and gray, will hold each other’s gazes, darting from one sparkling pupil to the other. They might unfocus to drink in the entire face for a second, perhaps lingering on the person’s smile before meeting the gaze once more, a gaze noticeably warmer than a moment ago. <br /> </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>One face may turn a little, and in mirrored image, the other follows, only slightly tipped in the opposite direction. And the eyes ask the silent question as two thoughts become superimposed—“May I kiss you?”-“Will you kiss me?” The answer is subtle, missed by nearly everyone passing by, everyone save the smiling elder couple holding gnarled hands and assisted by their canes. Perhaps they, too, once shared a kiss sitting there, or plan to again later. But locked in their own world, they don’t notice the elder pair walk by. <br /><br />They are aware now only of each other, aware of little things, the flush on her cheeks, the gleam in his eye, the color of her moist lips, the imperceptible flare of his nostrils as he subconsciously reminds his body to breathe. They touch now. The kiss is at first soft, the lips asking permission for the firmness they crave. Another kiss grants this and another and another as faces turn to fit around chins and cheeks and noses. And then loose and pliable, those lips part now to make way for tentative tongues. These too begin their searching, gently at first then becoming bolder as they instinctively react to the warmth of each other’s mouths and thrust as hands cup cheeks and arms wind around shoulders, drawing each other ever inward into the private space that shuts the waking world out and lets the dream begin. <br />V</i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bird stone in hand, the holy man sat cross-legged before the woodstove, lightly rocking forward and back, chanting under his breath. Not wanting to disturb an obvious trance, John quietly took a seat on the sofa. Though he felt odd intruding on this private moment, the melodious chanting had a hypnotic quality that drew him in. He soon found himself drifting. He’d joined the Marines shortly after veterinary school, drawn by the allure of paying down substantial student debt. Only three months in, Iraq invaded Kuwait. The United States went to war and so did he. Flashes of his time in the military came into his awareness — people he’d known, things he’d been a part of, and things he'd rather not see again. </span></span><br />

<i>"A very serious study of good versus evil. The emotions of Ash and Olivia, the woman he's falling in love with, are strong and true. The Native American lore is engrossing and obviously the result of deep, respectful research. And, as usual, Ms. Anderson's love scenes are sweet, funny, sensual, and fulfilling for Ash and Olivia, as well as the reader."</i><br />
