Lay Me Down ~ Available Now

Monday, October 29th, 2007

laymedown.jpgMy first Total-E-Bound release  is available today!

I’m excited about the release. I’m sharing the blurb and an excerpt with you! You can buy it here.

Lay Me Down
By: Taige Crenshaw
Total-E-Bound
E-Book ISBN #: 978-1-906328-46-7
Genre: Paranormal
Series: Club Immortality

Blurb:

 In Club Immortality everything is not as it seems.
 
Unlocking your inhibitions and being yourself is what the club is all about.
 
In this tale we explore the beginning of Syn and Micah the owners of Club Immortality. They have a lot to tell and have invited you to take a look inside this sensual haven. Remember nothing is off limits and all you have to do is be open to the adventures.
 
Open the doors and step inside Club Immortality…

EXCERPT:

Moving from the wall, he walked purposefully across the floor. He ignored everything around him.  He had one goal—her. Her chest rose and fell as he drew closer. Finally standing before her, he raised his hands and met hers with his, twining their fingers together.

He undulated his hips in time with hers and let her feel his hardened shaft. They hissed simultaneously at the first touch. Bringing up her arms and placing them around his neck, he put his face close to her neck and inhaled her scent. She smelled like sin and sex. The scent of her arousal gripped him. His cock hardened and lengthened even more. Running his hands along her forearms, then down her sides, he felt her quiver. He continued the path to her waist and cupped her lush hips.

She sighed and moved her body closer. Squeezing her firm butt, he dragged her against his raging erection. A growl echoed from her making her breast rub against his chest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I am gone for a few more days. Still feeling a little under the weather and need to get some rest. So I’ll be gone for a few days. When I get back be prepared for a few things I’m excited about to share. So stay tuned.

Blurb:
 
Noelle Locke has been hurt many times by the opposite sex. She refuses to take a chance on love again. Yet when she meets a man who if not only a temptation but a danger to her vow to never love again she is unable to resist.
 
When vows and passion collide there can be only one victor in a rendezvous with fate….

Dimitri Zarek is a loner who only works with his brother. He trusts no one else at his back or with his life.

Looking at the hunger in his gaze Yadira raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t we just get it over with?”
 
Dimitri look said he knew exactly what she was talking about. “Get what?”
 
Yadira saw the challenge in his gaze. He wanted her to say it.  Yadira smiled she never backed down from a challenge.
 
“Tasting each other.”
 
Dimitri looked at her then stepping in front of her Yadira felt dwarfed by him. He had to be at least six-five to her six feet. Looking into her eyes he lowered his face. He paused barely a hair’s breath between their lips. Yadira heart rate increased waiting for his taking. Dimitri leaned in and their lips touched. He kissed her softly barely a brush of lips then withdrew. Narrowing her eyes Yadira hands flashed up cupping his face stopping him from retreating.  His look was contained.
 
Closing the distance between them Yadira ignored the whispers of danger on the air and kissed him.

Reader’s Gold…

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

The Grand Prize contest is close. I will announce the winner at 9:00 pm EST.

Let’s talk about series. I’ve mentioned this before here.

I enjoy writing and reading series.

First here are my definitions of them both:

Series ~ Taige Crenshaw Definition:

Novels that has a related story theme but each one is complete in and of itself.

Serial ~ Taige Crenshaw Definition:

Novels that feature/follows the same main character/s yet are still a fresh story each time.

They are Reader’s Gold to me when I know a new book for an author I like I get all giddy.

Here are some of my Reader’s Gold:

JD Robb

She happens to have a book coming out November 6. I will be there to scoop it up.

Laurell K Hamilton

She has a book come out this coming October 23, 2007. Will be first in the door to scoop it up.

Brenda Jackson

She has a book come out this coming  November 2007. Oh my I have to wait to November will be there.

Who are some author’s that are your Reader’s Gold and why?
