Woot!

I have joined the ranks at Resplendence Publishing as part of their Wicked line.  Take your fave fairy tale, perv it up and you get a hot read whose ending you already know.  Mmmm….

Not sure when I’ll be hitting the virtual shelves with my story, Fiery Ember, but you can bet I’ll be shouting about it when I do.

You didn’t think I could leave Jake alone, did ya?  I mean, a guy can suffer with only his right (or left) hand for sooooooo long.

Pop in to witness Jake and Mila’s first meeting:

Having a bit of a chat:

Posing for the camera:

Lost in each other’s eyes….

Posing again.  Jake’s a guy who’s okay that his lady is a smidge taller than him in heels.  Why?  Cause he’s a ‘Joe and can kick anybody’s ass.

Mary Winter…  She’s evil in a totally delicious way.  I did a podcast interview with her recently and through the course of our chat, discussed her love of her Joes.  *sigh*  I lamented my lack of a Joe and she rectified the situation for me. 

Meet Jake, the newest resident of the Kyle household.  And yes, hubby thought I was certifiable as he watched me crawl all over the floor, trying to take these piccies.

This is Jake’s headshot.  Notice his soulful eyes and “bad boy” scar.  Mmm….

This shows Jake’s softer, more sensitive side.  Awww…..

Here, Jake waits for his next girl (or guy) to come into his life with open arms.  Mwah!

This is Jake’s last shot from this evening’s photo shoot.  Taken on the box he arrived in, he shows that not only is he a lover, but a fighter as well.

Stay tuned for other piccies…  I plan on picking up a friend or two for Jake this weekend, so hopefully he’ll be having more fun later on.

Shakin’ my booty *uh uh* Shakin’ it here *uh uh*  Shakin’ it there *uh uh*
 
Why?  Cause Yeti! Were? got 5 stars from JERR bay-bee!!!!!
 
Here it is:
 
Title: Yeti! Were?
Author: Celia Kyle
Publisher: Changeling Press
Publisher URL: www.changelingpress.com 
Reviewer: Elizabeth Marie
Rating: 5 Stars
Heat level: H

Options. Everybody has them. Take Sela, for example. Locked in the meat plant freezer by her Alpha’s crazy brother, her initial option is to shape shift and spend the night in her wolf form, insulated by her fur and with plenty of raw meat to gnaw on. But when said crazy adds a Yeti to her cell she decides instead to opt for more carnal pursuits – and Yosi, the Yeti, is all too willing to participate! When morning comes, will they choose to part ways?

Yeti! Were? is thoroughly deserving of a 5 Star rating, for this short novella held my interest so completely that I never once lost my focus or involvement in the plot. The title is highly unusual and at first, I was unable to think how it was chosen. But fairly quickly into my reading it suddenly made perfect sense! There are two types of shape shifters in the story: the wolf (were) and the Yeti. The differences between them are very clear and help to make for a wonderful story. Our two main characters are well developed and each has a role in the telling of the tale. Both characters are very likeable and quite appealing, even Yosi when he is in his primitive state (talk about Neanderthal!). His basic self instantly recognizes Sela as intrinsically his and he is all too willing to claim her. The plot is unfailingly well-paced and events are wonderfully composed, making for a thoroughly enjoyable story that keeps the readers interest effortlessly and definitely makes me want more tales from this world. The sex, too, is wonderfully described, detailed though not overly graphic. Some oral, a little anal play. Please be aware that Yeti is in his primitive form during mating, but there isn’t anything disturbing about this form. He simply gains in size (mmmm, want to talk about muscles?) and spouts a lot of white hair. Yeti! Were? is a fabulous story, one I wholeheartedly recommend! If you are a shifter fan, you truly cannot go wrong!

And for those of you who LURVED Yosi and Sela, not only is Are We There, Yeti? coming out in February… But Yeti! Again? will quite possibly be out in March if my muse cooperates and my editor can get through it. 
 
Bow chicka bow bow…  Got Yeti?

So, Silk Panties is out!  Today!  Still have to get off my sorry arse and create a seperate page for the book, but here’s the excerpt and link to the pubby…

Ingredients
1/2 oz Peach Schnapps
1 1/2 oz Vodka
1 Sexy woman with a penchant for silk

Lisa Bradenton is breaking out of her shell.  What better way to take a walk on the wild-one-night-stand-side than a visit to the infamous Del Fantasma?  At the urging of her friends, Lisa goes to the bar with the hopes of finding a lover to take her mind off her ex-boyfriend.  Soon after walking through the doors she’s overwhelmed by the sexy bartender who has a quick smile, sexy eyes and deep rumbling voice.  He is definitely one-night stand material.  Definitely.

Jonathan and his inner beast crave the sexy, sultry and curvy siren’s touch.  A smile and good conversation aren’t enough for him.  Even after he’s gotten her in his bed, he still craves everything about the seductress.  Her looks reeled him in, but her uncertainty and open nature snare him forever.  But after one night of bliss, she disappears.  What the hell is he supposed to do now?  Lisa is his mate and without her, he’s lost.

Oooooh!!!!  Buy It HERE!

And on to newsletters.  So, I’ve started using my cool newsletter program which kicks major azz.  I’m doing a newsletter with each new release which will contain an excerpt and then one big shebang of a newsletter per month.  So, want it?  Sign up in the sidebar.
