July Releases!

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?

March Madness - What Goes Up

The short story that won Loose Id's March Madness contest has been tripled in length and is coming soon to Loose Id!  Woot!

The creators of Mission Impossible would be proud.  After weeks of preparation, spying, bribing and general underhanded behavior, Ashley was about to get her reward: Trevor.  The man had proven to be stubborn and she was just as determined to prove she could out-stubborn him.  He didn't have a chance.  The mighty Trevor had risen up the corporate ladder, but Ashley remembered one of her grandma's favorite sayings from childhood.  What goes up, must come down.  And Ashley would make darned sure that Trevor would be going down in this exact elevator at this exact time and if she just happened to be going along for the ride in her new domme wear… well, so be it.

Interview -- Nina Pierce

Nina Pierce began writing as a lark when her health forced her retirement from a twenty year teaching career. As someone who has always loved hot stories and happy endings she sat down to write her first romance in 2005 and she hasn’t looked back. Now her characters wake her in the night, clamoring to have their stories told.

A native of Maine, Nina resides in what she affectionately calls “the great white north” with her true love of twenty-four years, their three grown children and a menagerie of pets.

You can keep up with her hottest releases at www.NinaPierce.com or contact her directly at Nina @ NinaPierce.com

She's also the author of a scorching hot series from Liquid Silver Books called Tilling Passions.  Here's the blurby goodness from the first book, Blind Love:

Book I of the Tilling Passions Series

In Blind Love, the first novella in the Tilling Passions series, uptight CPA and oldest sister, Julie Tilling, is the glue that binds her family. Everyone, including her parents, depend on her to do the right thing. But when her friend from high school dies, and Julie is the only one who believes he didn’t commit suicide, she takes it upon herself to investigate his death. Her search for answers finds her flirting on the fringes of internet pornography. But Julie’s desire to find a killer and experience a sexual awakening may push her moral boundaries to the breaking point.

Damon Corey didn’t come to Maine to become shock jock Demon Jones. But when his dream career of becoming a concert pianist seems unobtainable, the radio station’s offer is too good to pass up. Besides, being a radio celebrity has definite advantages with the ladies. When a mysterious brunette, Jewel, hooks up with him at the night club run by a college frat brother, their one night fling wraps around his heart and won’t loosen its talons.

Julie and Damon feel the heat of passion from the moment they meet, but will their secrets unravel the tenuous threads of their relationship? Can Damon expose his inner soul without pushing Julie away, or will his enigmatic Demon Jones persona become Julie’s sexual undoing and reveal him as the missing piece that solves the puzzling questions surrounding her friend’s death?

1) If you were a superhero, what name would you go by? What powers would you have?
Cyclona! I would be able to clean through my house in 5 minutes flat including laundry, dishes (ick), vacuuming and dusting (quadruple ick!)  And I’d morph into a body that could wear a bikini while I did it all! That would leave me plenty of time to write and hang out with my friends.

2) Suppose you're a spy, what would be your codename? What would be the name of your make believe organization? What are the must-have gadgets in your arsenal?
Sexy Thang and the Thongs. We’d pounce on unsuspecting men, teach them how to be romantic and turn them into real life romance heroes. Of course we’d be armed with dreamy-eye transformers, sexy voice equalizers, romantic talk vocalizing wands, and error free erogenous zone finders. Oh yeah, we’d have our work cut out for us, but women everywhere would be eternally grateful for our covert operation.

3) What type of music or song makes you want to get up and dance regardless of where you are?
The new song for the MacIntosh laptop, “New Soul” by Yael Naim. It makes me dance in my chair. Here’s the YouTube addie http://youtube.com/watch?v=5CsZGoxBtKk  I just love, love, love, that song!

Oh, and I looove the Monkey’s version of “I’m a Believer. It makes me dance every time!

4) If you were a world ruler and you were given a choice of 5 laws to enact, what would they be?
1) No fighting or arguing.
2) Fair pay for fair work.
3) No child goes hungry or unloved.
4) All red tape and hoops would be taken away from medical insurance companies. This would eliminate the wasted phone conversations and the jumping people would need to do to make claims.
5) I have the last say on everything … any questions, see #1

5) Would you have a Hottie Harem and who would you invite to join?
Oh, I get to choose. Okay, *cracks knuckles*
Adrian Paul - just to stare at.
Sean Connery - love his voice! He could read the cereal box and sound sexy to me!
Matthew Mcconaughey - to make me laugh. I love when he laughs
Vin Diesel - Because every harem needs a bad boy
Will Smith - Just to round it all out!

6) Who would you love to write a book with? (Other than me, but if it is me, that’s okay too.  *sigh* It’s a hard life I lead… being so loved as I am. *smirk*)
If you mean like actually write words together, I’m not sure I could do that. I don’t play nice on the keyboard! *cackle* But if you mean do an anthology with … well, that’s a long list. I’m psyched to say I got to share a title with you and Tina Holland … yay us! And that was a blast. But I wouldn’t mind having my work along side James Patterson or Tess Gerritsen or Mary Higgins Clark. Wow, I could sure learn a lot from them!

7) If you could choose one of your characters to live happily-ever-after with, who would you choose and which book is he from?  (No, you cannot pick your significant other or hubby.  We’re living in fantasy land, so fantasize already.)
Oh, fantasy … me like! I love my heroes. I fall in love with them every time as they fall in love with their ladies. But I think if it were forever, I’d like to go to the 22nd century and be with Brenimyn from The Healer’s Garden. *sigh* He’s strong and fighting for a cause, but he’s so tender at the same time. He’s willing to sacrifice everything for the woman he loves. Oh, and the man knows how to satisfy a woman. Yeah, I definitely pick him!

8) If you were making a reality show, what name would you give it? What would it be about? And who from your “circle of friends” would be there to back you up?
I’d love to see a reality show titled “Housewives in Leather”. 10 housewives live in a BDSM club for a month. For the sake of the innocent I couldn’t tell you who would be there with me. *cackle* But I know for sure … none of us would want to leave!

9) What books are you currently reading? (Other than your own stuff over and over again as you go through edits.  Edits don’t count as reading.)
I read all kinds of stuff. I read several of your shifter stories, Ce (No, I’m not trying to get in your good graces … I really did. Loved em by the way!) I’m now enjoying some Roxy Harte and Eden Bradley stories. That’s research for a novel I’m working on. I love Dean Koontz for the in depth way he tells a story and John Grisham for the way he gets his characters in a bind and then works them out of that impossible situation.  

10) Last question: There's a major battle between Harry Potter and his gang, the crew from the Lord of the Rings, Pokemon and The Smurfs. Who would you back to win in a no holds barred battle? Why?
Harry Potter and his cronies … hands down. Have you seen what they do with those wands? Impressive stuff. And with things like poly-juice potion in their arsenal they can pretend to be anyone they want and infiltrate the other factions. Yeah, definitely that gang. And poor Papa Smurf wouldn’t know what hit him in that battle. About the only group they could beat would be the Care Bears. But in reality those two groups probably couldn’t work up a good case of mad between them!
