O. M. G.  Somewhere, in a past life, I was the whore of the cover gods and now they are smiling down on me.  Want proof?  Kablam!

Were What? by Celia Kyle

Lyla’s on the run from her pack’s omega. Since he’s at the bottom of the totem pole in her pack, this should be simple, right? Tell that to her aching lungs and jiggling thighs. She’s never been one to go with the flow. So when her alpha orders her to submit to mating with the omega she’s not about to start now. Good thing she runs into (literally) a big hunk of man who can make the scariest of wolves tuck tail and run.

Michael’s had enough of weres to last a lifetime. After being caught in the middle of a territory war while in Brazil between the Pumas and Jaguars, he sure as hell doesn’t want anything to do with the trouble following Lyla. But apparently no one told that to his cock.

Cuff Me Lacy

Part of the HANDCUFFS AND LACE SERIES

Ooh!  This is my first work with Resplendence Publishing and I couldn’t be happier with the cover.  I filled out a detailed form and the cover artist took my words and created this gorgeousness.  Yay!  I love it!

It’s fantabulous, yes?  I’m giddy with excitement.  Here’s a quick blurb and Fiery Ember will be available on 7/8/08!  Woot!  That’s just around the corner!

Fiery Ember

Ember Ellason is a darned good secretary.  True, she’d like to be more, but her step-mother runs Ellason Advertising now that her father has passed and Claudette, her step-mother, feels Ember is only good enough to fetch coffee… barely.  Not content with her life as a secretary, she takes night classes to get her degree in marketing.  Good thing, too.  Because when Claudette, nor her horrid daughters, show up for the meeting with the biggest client they could ever land, Ember steps in to save the day.  Sort of.  Clementine and Ember sound alike… in a way.  A little white lie about her name couldn’t be the end of the world, right?  Besides, what could it hurt?

Paul Ashe needs a new ad campaign and advertising agency for his company.  He’s found  the perfect company with the perfect proposal.  Too bad his body is a little too interested in the voluptuous Clementine, beautiful Em.  Though, she doesn’t look like an Clementine to him with her fiery red hair and blazing green eyes.  And then he can’t seem to secure a date with the elusive woman after their first encounter.  Not that he should since they just began working together. No bother, rules were meant to be broken… Besides, what could it hurt?

Just a little something that I submitted to a flash fiction call that was recently rejected.  Thought ya’ll might enjoy the darker side of Celia….

Growl
By Celia Kyle

The growl woke her. Deep, guttural, hungry and low, it crept through the room and reverberated through her bones.

It’d gotten him.

Somehow through the night, the disease seeped through the cracks in the walls and took hold of her beloved.

The now familiar sound of the slow scraping of feet against the concrete floor filled the once silent room. She pressed her back against the wall, thankful for the solid support as she clutched the blood-stained handle of her hatchet. She took solace in its solid, balanced weight and razor sharp edge. It hadn’t failed her yet.

The scraping grew closer.

Her heart beat double-time, threatening to burst from her chest as she waited. Rushing forward too soon could prove to be disastrous. She’d seen it happen to one too many of her friends. She’d watched them suffer as the creatures tore them apart and then, when they re-animated, she’d cleaved their heads from their bodies.

The creature staggered through the moonlight toward her. Only feet separated them now. She begged her heart to slow as soulless eyes bore into her. Not long now.

She adjusted her grip and took aim as the creature came into range. It bared its teeth and opened its jaws wide as if preparing to bite. With one quick blow, she decapitated the creature, its rancid blood coating the bare floor. It was done.

Dang, she’d loved that dog.

A hiss filled the night and she cringed. Looked like she had a date with her cat now, too.
