New Contract ~ My Serbian Wolf

Happy Saturday everyone. So glad the weekend is finally here. This gives me a chance to do some writing and a few much needed things in the home. LOL

My Serbian Wolf is a very spicy interracial erotic romance that was contracted Thursday by Amira Press. I'm awaiting edits for this story and hope it will be released around the end of June, or maybe beginning of August. Below is a short blurb.


Niko sacrificed himself once for the sake of his pack, but will he discover another lesson of self sacrifice that may release him from his spiritual imprisonment?

Centuries later, he discovers his life mate, Rebecca, the one who can make him whole once again. For Niko and Rebecca, a second chance at love is just a breath away.

I'm excited about this story, and I hope you will enjoy it. I'm seriously jonesing for some coffee now, I'm off to brew some.  ; )

New Contract ~ Spiritwalker

Sugar and Spice Press just contracted Spiritwalker today. This story was written back in September 09, and was once a free read. At the time, it was 1,500 words, which I had to trim down to 1,000. Well, there was so much to tell of Magnus and Vivian's tale and the story was expanded on a few months ago. Below is a short blurb. This story is an interracial erotic romance.

                                                                           * * *
Things can’t get much better for Vivian Patterson. At the ripe ole age of thirty-eight, life is better than ever. She’s got an excellent job, looks that kill, and a smokin hot bod. Oh she also has a loving, faithful boyfriend who sends her blood pressure skyrocketing through the roof. She couldn’t ask for anything more, right?


Magnus Abernethy, Vivian’s boyfriend is all any woman could ever want in a man. He is handsome as hell, has an adorable personality, and willing to go that extra mile to please his woman. Magnus is the total package. There is just one problem with this relationship. Magnus is a spirit, trapped within another realm….

This situation was never a problem for Vivian, but she discovers as time moves on, she craves him to be flesh and blood, forever, not just for an entire evening.

Can Vivian and Magnus overcome a witch’s cruel curse, and carry on through life, the way it was intended, or will the menacing dark force from their past threaten any happiness that may be in the stars for them?

There is a contest in the making. The prizes will consist of sterling silver Silpada jewelry and bath & body products from Mary Kay.

Author In The Spotlight ~ Nichelle Gregory

CK:  Hello Folks! Please give a warm welcome to Nichelle Gregory.  

NG:  Hey, Charisma!

CK:  Hey Nichelle! I’ve had the pleasure of conversing with you via email, and I find you very interesting, as a person and a author. Please tell us when you launched your writing career.

NG: Well, officially two years ago. Like most writers, I've always been drawn to writing, but it wasn't until two summers ago that I actually decided to pursue becoming an author.

CK:  I hear you. Where do you come up with some of the awesome stories you create? 

NG:  I get ideas from so many different places. I'm a musician and a vocalist and I LOVE all kinds of music. Songs influence me all the time. Art, photography, dreams, and of course people really get my muse whispering ideas in my head too. Before I became serious about writing, I was a voracious reader. I love all kinds of books from horror, erotica, romance, and autobiographies and I've gotten ideas based off snippets of something I've read too, usually after I've asked the question: "Now, what would have happened if the heroine did this or that..." I still love reading, but my writing has taken every available moment I have, but I hardly go to bed without reading something!

CK:  Wow, I wish I could say I hardly go to bed without reading something. I’m seriously lacking time in that department. Now, where did you submit your first story?

NG:  I submitted my first short story, The Enchanted Flute to Noble Romance Publishing in September and was over the moon it published in November!
CK:  It’s an amazing high when you receive that first publishing contract! How do you fit writing into your busy schedule?

NG:  *sigh* I'm a busy mommy/wife and my days are busy. I look forward to bedtime and the freedom to write uninterrupted...usually until about 1 a.m.

CK:  What are the pros and cons of being a published author?

NG:  Well, the number one pro is being published and finally getting to share your stories with the world. Becoming a published author proved to me that writing is what I'm supposed to be doing and that I can do this.  The sky is the limit...that and finding the time to complete my WIP's.

One con would be that the publishing world is subjective like many things in life and what you think is a perfectly told tale may be poorly received by some. Also, becoming published is just the beginning of getting your work out to the masses and there is so much more you need to do besides just write to become a best-selling author. These are the things I didn't even know to think about as a newbie author. Luckily, I've found a wealth of resources and suggestions from many writer friends on social net-working sites and through the fabulous collection of writers at Noble Romance Publishing!

CK:  Please, tell us about your most recent project.

NG:  I'm so excited to share news about my new contemporary erotic romance, Lovin' Leela, recently picked up by Total E-Bound Publishing! Here's the blurb:
Leela Monroe has had just about enough of the loud music and desperate cries of passion keeping her up all night thanks to her new neighbor next door. Ready to give him a piece of her mind, she's distracted from her complaints when Sam answers the door, throwing her off guard with his sexy smile and into a state of unyielding longing. She gives into the hot chemistry between them, enjoying sex for the first time in her life, but can a relationship based on pleasure truly amount to anything more?

Coming Oct. 4th!

CK:  Congratulations on the new contract. I wish you many sales! Please share one of your stories with us. In particular, The Gingerbread Tryst! I read this story, and I must say I enjoyed it tremendously. What sparked your desire to create an amusing, sexy read?


NG: Thanks, Charisma, I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! I love fairy tales and I've always loved The Gingerbread Man story. I've got an over active imagination and when the idea of a delicious cookie turning into a sexy flesh and blood man popped into my mind, I knew it was too decadently naughty to pass up! Out of all of my erotic fairy tales this one was the most fun to write.

Rapunzel's Release was the most challenging and I think the most rewarding work for me as an author to date. This moving, sensual tale flowed from beginning to end and the characters practically begged me to write their story shortly after finishing The Gingerbread Tryst.
  

CK:  I can't wait to see the magic you spun on Rapunzel's Release. Where do you see yourself two years from now?

NG:  Good question. Writing, editing and hopefully branching out in the publishing world, I've got a lot of hot stories to tell!


CK:  Well, I can’t wait to read them, someday. LOL What are your hobbies?

NG:  Music, singing, art, photography, reading, and of course baking!

CK:  How do you unwind?

NG:  Depends on my day, but often laughing with my husband.

CK:  Do you mold your characters strictly from imagination or from those you cross paths with in everyday life?

NG: Strictly from imagination, seriously, I haven't met any gingerbread cookie hotties.  J

CK:  Ha Ha! What are your favorite paranormal creatures, if any? Pick two please.

NG: Mermaids and the Phoenix

CK:  Where can you be found on the internet?

CK:  Nichelle Gregory, thank you so much for sharing. It was awesome having you here today!

NG:  Charisma, it was my pleasure! Thanks for having me!
