I discovered Mika! A hottie from the UK that
thinks big girls are beautiful and that you shouldn't change for
anyone. I lurv him and he's destined to be the next Mr. Kyle.
*sigh* He loves me, he just doesn't know it yet.
Watch a few of Mika's videos on youtube:

Quick Writing Update
Working on the following. Coming soon to... whoever I stalk the hardest.
Furry, Fluffy & Wild
-- An erotic romance anthology featuring Me, Nina Pierce and Tina
Holland. Smokin' hot furry ladies with a bit extra cushion.
They love themselves, so why shouldn't you?
Sumptuous Sip
My book Silk Panties has the recipe for one of my fave drinks when out and about, hubby in tow. (Need someone to drive me home, afterall.)
Silk Panties
1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz peach schnapps
1/4 oz Chambord raspberry liqueur
Pour ingredients into a stainless steel shaker over ice. Shake until ice cold. Pour into a large shot glass, and serve.
OR, buy the book. I think it'll do a bit more for you than a little ole drink could.

Interview
-- Dare to with Darragha
I wrangled Darragha Foster for a quick interview
and peek into this twisted writer's mind.
First, she's going to share a bit about one of her
newest releases and tell her a bit more about herself. You know,
the standard stuff before we get to the juicy bits....
 Born in 1864 to a wealthy coastal family, Vesper Highgate-Adaire was
well on her way to becoming a first-rate stripper just like her mother.
A stripper of boots and brass off the bodies of wrecked sailors, in
accordance with family traditions—the traditions of the Mooncusser
clan. Traditions that changed after the wrecking of a ship befouled by
an accursed sea captain—who in his twisted rage, shared his curse with
the clan.
They became Shadow Lovers, the lot of them, for all time, cursed to
feed upon those energies best expended only between husband and wife.
Or upon blood. And only on the dark of the moon.
Forced to leave their beloved beach so as not to saturate the land with
their poison, only Vesper remained behind to care for the family
estate, and wait for the unholy captain’s return.
But time and tide and the feverish nightmares left behind in her
victims after her embrace do not wait for dark nights to move in their
unstoppable, mysterious ways. A juggernaut of hellish proportions is
coming to the beach—and there’s only one way to stop it. Hard-headed
and proud, Vesper won’t accept that fact. She’d rather die fighting
than flee and live. Good thing the only person alive able to control a
Mooncusser’s daughter has returned to the cove. And his blood-ties to
the beach are just as thick as hers.
Mooncusser Cove -- a modern day retelling of Frankenstein with a
Brigadoon twist. Ghost ships! Curses! Land pirates! Vampires who feed
on sexual energy! The persecution of witches! Just another day at
Vespers by the Sea bed-and-breakfast at Mooncusser Cove.
Available from Liquid Silver Books NOW!
Darragha Foster is the author of strange and wonderful
spicy romance novels with a hint of weird, a dash of different and
cutting humor that can make you snort your coffee out your nose.
Her first novel, Love’s Second Sight won the Predators & Editors poll for best romance of 2003, and her second book, The Orca King was named as having one of the top twenty-five most unusual paranormal characters ever, by Romantic Times.
Darr is an experienced psychic and
is really happy she’s a “horse mom” instead of a
“soccer mom,” except when her daughter and the horse have
been riding in the rain and both come in smelling like a boys’
locker room. Nasty!
Darragha welcomes reader comments via her contact form at www.darragha.com, and is always posting something wonderful at www.chameleons-on-plaid.com.
Okay... Did you make it this far? Sweet! On to the good stuff! Woot!
1) If you were a superhero, what name would you go by? What powers would you have?
The Glare. I’d
be known as “The Glare” for the way I’m able to let
people know what I think about them or their actions with a single
glance. Oh, wait a minute…I can do that now! Subtle
and effective. The Glare. Yeah…I’m running
with that.
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?
Codename: Secretary.
Organization:
An undercover operation working to end abuses of women and children all
around the world called “MPWR.” Its legitimate public
face is a middle school. But open the custodial closet door and
pull on the mop bucket handle and you will be whisked away to the
enclave of those who work for peace, culture and education in areas of
the world where traditions are not growing with the people and times.
As
“Secretary” I am the only person who knows the combination
to the vault, how to set the bells, how to fix the copiers and where
the copy paper is stored. Knowledge is the best weapon in my
arsenal.
3) What type of music or song makes you want to get up and dance regardless of where you are?
Disco! Meatloaf! I don’t care if I’m in a parking lot at the mall. If I hear it, I dance!
4) If you were a world ruler and you were given a choice of 5 laws to enact, what would they be?
The
No Child Left Behind Act would be abolished and in it’s place a
more reasonable system would be installed which could be applied
depending upon the demographics of the school.
All US troops would be recalled from Iraq. Period. End of discussion.
All
military spending on the Iraq war would be diverted to applying
“green” solutions to end the world dependency on oil.
Hybrid vehicles for all! Subsidized public transportation for all!
Medical
care, free education K-college, housing and nourishment programs would
be established to provide poverty-stricken world citizens the means to
help themselves.
Iceland
has this really cool rule about having only “natural” foods
allowed into their country. You CANNOT get Fruit Loops there, for
example. Or colored sprinkles for cupcakes. Or Kool-Aid or
M&M’s. The dyes in the foods are banned.
Brilliant, huh? I’d set up a program to rid all processed
foods of unnecessary chemicals and dyes. There are all kinds of
ways to preserve foods without resorting to man-made, completely
unnatural substances. Ewwwww.
5) Would you have a Hottie Harem and who would you invite to join?
Gosh…I’m
ruler of the world. Do I have time for a hottie
harem? I don’t think so! Tell you what, when I step
down and go into private citizenship again, I’ll take:
“Jake” from the movie Sixteen Candles, Antonio Banderas,
that blond guy I saw riding his bike in Akureyri, Iceland, in 1979, Big
Tom (from my book “The Orca King”) and Norse explorer, Leif
Eiriksson. Now. Thanks!
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*)
I am
writing a book with you. Thank you, mistress. Probably
Stephen King or Nora Roberts. There are several e-authors
I’d like to write with, too. Bonnie Dee, Angela Knight for
example.
*snort* Suck up. Yes, we are writing a book together along with the ever magnificent Mima. Hey mimamima!!!!
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.)
Big
Tom from “The Orca King.” He has the ability to give
startling erotic vision quests. I’m so there.
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?
It
would be about a full-time mother, wife, worker and romance author
trying to get her laundry finished in a weekend. There is no
lifeline or circle of friends. It’s just her against a
mountain of dirty towels. All the while she’ll be
fantasizing about her characters and their situations. Kind of
like at the beginning of the movie, “Jewel of the Nile” or
“Romancing the Stone.”
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’ve
been fortunate enough that Bonnie Dee has asked me to read over one of
her manuscripts pre-submission. It is, hands down, the best
historical I’ve read in years. I’m reading two Dr.
Gilliam McKeith books right now, too.
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?
I
wouldn’t bet on any of them! Because…Captain Jack
Harkness shows up with his Torchwood team and wins. Then he
stuffs Pokemon and the Smurfs into the “vaults” at the Hub
and organizes a game of naked hide-and-seek with the Harry Potter and
LOTR teams.
Facebook! Go Green or Go Home!
I have succumbed. It was inevitable, right? I now have a facebook account. Only, not only did I join facebook, I also created a Green Reading group and page. Why?
Reading is Sexy. Green Reading is Smokin' Hot.
'nuff said.
So, friend me and join ze group why don'cha?
