In the Spotlight – Lucy Pireel

Photo on 2012-12-07 at 18.56I had the pleasure of stopping by Lucy Pireel’s last month and I’m thrilled she’s stopped by to chat with me today about her collection of short stories, Red Gone Bad! Twisted fairy tales? Right up my alley!

About Lucy Pireel

Lucy Pireel loves to write and read. She does not limit herself to one genre, but writes what she thinks would work for a story. At times it means writing Science Fiction, or fairy tales, while some are pure erotica.

She is glad to have successfully self-published her first three books, while editing her full-length, paranormal, erotic novel at the same time. Of course she writes more too; there are always new ideas for stories playing through her head, ranging from flash to full length novels.

Lucy enjoys long walks in the great outdoors, or twist herself into a pretzel while doing yoga. All to unwind after a day of writing, or editing. At the moment she lives in the UK and enjoys the country and its people very much. She’s very much a people person.

Cover Reveal – A Taylor-Made Life

Kary Rader has a new book coming out shortly and we get to see her cover today!

A Taylor cover

Cheerleader Taylor Smith doesn’t want to die a virgin. Unfortunately, if the terminally-ill leukemia patient doesn’t find a lover or a stem-cell match within months, her fear will become reality. But when her cancer mentor is revealed to be a hottie entrepreneur from California, it seems fate might finally be on her side.

Tech-geek Gavin Taylor has everything he ever wanted, except someone to grieve for him when he’s gone. With his melanoma cancer beyond the help of his riches, he agrees to participate in a cancer patient mentoring program where he’s matched with a dying teen from Texas. Despite his immediate attraction, the Silicon Valley whiz intends only to provide friendship and happy memories to the beautiful, young woman who is determined to win his love.

When it’s discovered that his frozen sperm and her harvested eggs could lead to a cure, Taylor’s mother offers to be a surrogate. And Gavin must decide if he can risk the heart he has never given and a child he’ll never know to a girl he just met.

Cover Reveal – Luna Sanguis

It always exciting to see a gorgeous new cover!

Luna_Sanguis_Cover_Full_Resolution

Paris 1925. A young woman is nearing her Eternal Vampire state as her birthday approaches. She is held captive by the hybrid vampire she created and slowly drained of her pure blood to keep his addiction in check. She outwits him and escapes to a chateau in the hope of reaching maturity. But he follows her unmistakable scent and massacres all that dare protect his supply of Eternal blood.

She awakens in a tiny room trapped and defenseless with amnesia, but something deep in her subconscious yearns to be set free by the next full moon – the date of her Eternal Birthday. Her true self, Eternal, emerges in brief flashes of awareness to protect her from the horrors of this terrifying prison. Desperate, she forges an alliance with her true love, a gorgeous young doctor treating her.

But her nemesis is out there somewhere, relishing the hunt for her blood – and nothing will stop him from becoming Eternal.

I love early summer in the high desert. Before the triple digit weather hits and when it’s merely hot, not yet broiling. It’s a time to put the top down on the car more often and listen to oldies like the Beach Boys. A time to put away the hot cocoa, sipped in front of the fireplace and pull out the margaritas and mint juleps.

Summer means taking my poodle, Chloe, for morning walks, which aren’t as beneficial as I might like because she likes to stop and investigate – a lot. Tréa, the chihuahua, is getting to the age where she tires out and can’t make it very far. Her idea of walks means I pick her up and carry her. So she stays home more often than not.

Sometimes I ride my bike, although I admit I’m not getting that done as often as I’d like. Other times, I might go hiking, but again not often enough.

As the temps rise into those triple digits that means more visits to my brother’s house in Las Vegas, where lazy weekends are spent around or in the pool. Hanging out with my extended family and talking about everything and nothing. Sipping on whatever our drink of choice is that weekend.

At the pool, my brother’s chihuahua, Toby, can be seen carefully measuring the distance between the pool’s edge and the nearest raft before taking a leap onto someone’s stomach. He never misses either and enjoys floating from one end of the pool to the other.

Chloe can sometimes be coaxed into the water, but she doesn’t love it quite as much as I thought she might. Poodles are hunting dogs, specifically water fowl and I thought she’d love the water, but it’s more tolerance than love on her part. Of course, if you even mention going into the pool to Tréa, you can count on her to escape into the house and under a bed.

Chloe is ready to go!

Chloe is ready to go!

As you can tell, the dogs are a big part of my life. They travel very well, secure in their car seats, which makes it so much easier to just toss them into the car and go.

But summer isn’t all lounging outside or by the pool. It’s a great time to get some writing done, too. All the days I hide out from the heat, keeping cool inside. I’ve written both of my books over summer and I’m working on my third book in my series, The Thulukan Chronicles.

This summer promises to be as fabulous as the rest and one I can enjoy. You’ll find me by the pool with a margarita.
