KITTEN UPDATE: CORRECTION! #3 just arrived...

Well, okay, forget what I said. Apparently Luna popped out a third kitten while I was getting my nails done. It wasn't there this morning. *head desk* I just found it when I went in to fix her towel in her box.

KITTEN UPDATE: And the final count is...

Two. Luna didn't have any more overnight, and she's up and moving around and eating and acting normal today. No signs of distress, and she's taking good care of the kittens. So looks like just a very small first-time litter (whew!).

I know it's hard to see two mostly black kittens against a mostly black momma cat. LOL (The cardboard in back was taken from the recycle bin because before I got the box in there I panicked that the babies might accidentally get out of the crate because they're so small. LOL)

Kitten 1 is black on top, white on bottom including chin, and four white feet. Kitten 2 is mostly black, looks like a few white hairs on its front legs.

Yes, they are adorable. LOL

KITTEN UPDATE: Two kittens

Kitten #2 (the one on the right) was born a little before 4pm est. So far, everything's looking good.

KITTEN UPDATE: We haz a kitteh!

Looks like the first kitten was born around 1:30pm today (est). Now...we wait. LOL It looks like it's black with white on its feet.

The intriguing kindle (and I don't mean the e-book reader)...

Luna when we first got her.

Yeah, I bet that title grabbed your attention, didn't it? I'm sneaky that way.

If you are a fan of The Big Bang Theory, you no doubt know from the episode "The Zazzy Substitution" that a grouping of cats is called a clowder. (It's also called a pounce.) A group of kittens, however, besides being called a litter, is also called an intrigue or a kindle. (See?)

Momma cat-to-be Luna is highly pissed off at me today. I ran her over to the vet this morning to get bloodwork done. Fortunately, she was negative for a couple of nasties that I don't even want to contemplate what our option would have been had she been positive.

(For those of you who don't follow my Facebook feed, Luna was an outdoor cat, she showed up pregnant in February, and we finally caught her and brought her inside three weeks ago, where she's now in residence in Grimmy's old crate until after she pops.)

Luna's "please kill me now" look.

The vet microchipped her for me, and we dewormed her, but her vaccinations will have to wait until after she delivers. Which is fine, because the other cats are up to date, and Grimmy will get another booster when he goes in on Friday to get neutered.

The poor thing is HUGE. I feel so sorry for her. She barely moves around now. She just lays there with this, "Please, get these things OUT of me NOW!" look on her face. She actually did great at the vet, considering it was her first time in a cat carrier, her first time in a car, and her first trip to the vet.

So now it's just a matter of waiting until she finally has the little devils. I'm thinking about starting a kitten pool. LOL Why not? I don't do March Madness brackets. Might as well. LOL

Actually, just for fun, if you want to participate, in the comments toss in your guess of date, number of kittens, and if you really want to get fancy, the gender ratios. If anyone gets really close, I'll send you a little care package. And a kitten... (Just kidding! LOL)

Where is "The Reluctant Dom" in e-book?

EDIT 6/23/2012: Both "The Reluctant Dom" and "Cardinal's Rule" are now available in e-book format from Siren-BookStrand. (If you have a Kindle, read the instructions on their page how to set up your Siren account to have the Kindle format sent directly TO your device, just like Amazon does.)

Lina thought surviving her Yellowstone vacation was hairy. She doesn’t even have time to enjoy her newly discovered powers with her two hunky dragons before they and Brodey Lyall’s wolf pack must band together again to find out who’s responsible for grisly dragon murders.

As Lina finds out how deeply their tragic past is entwined with the present, new allies join their quest to hunt down the killer before he can strike again. But the more Lina learns about the past, the more questions she has.

In their trans-continental journey for justice against the vengeful and psychopathic cockatrice, Lina and her ever-expanding adopted clan has to rely not just on her random and unreliable incendiary powers, but on the skills and memory of a sadomasochistic immortal. The future happiness of the Lyall brothers depends on it, as do all their lives.

And she doesn’t even have a Goddess 101 handbook.

[Siren Classic: Erotic Paranormal Romance, vampires, HEA]

Taz thought learning she’s a vampire, surviving attacks on her life, and falling for sexy Matthias were difficult. Can life get any crazier? Haunted by a devastatingly familiar phantom voice, Taz struggles to cope with new bombshells and the painful loss of Matthias’s cousin, Rafe.

As she forges ahead, Taz knows her heart belongs to Matthias. What she doesn’t know is yet another betrayal from where they least expect it lies around the corner. When they all travel to London to carry out justice for Rafe, Taz finds herself in a fight not just for her life, but for her sanity. With the mysterious, lupine-like Others showing no signs of dropping their pursuit of her, Taz struggles to find her way. Fortunately, she has Matthias by her side.

Unfortunately, she has to conceal her painful secret from his grandfather, Tobias. But even worse...she's got a wedding to plan.

Note: This book has been extensively revised. It was previously published with another publisher.

Adult Excerpt:


“Did you want to try this?” He hefted the sword.

She thought about it and shook her head, remembering the last time she held it. “No. Not right now. It’s too soon.”

“All right, love. Let me put this away and we can take a shower.” He turned to put the sword away, and that’s when she noticed the panel in the back of the cabinet concealing a secret compartment. He carefully wiped the sword down, then placed it inside the compartment and locked it.

“Why don’t you have regular exercise equipment here?”

He shrugged and started to say something, but she caught the tail end of his thought. “You and Rafe used to practice in here?”

“Yes. We always have a gym at the offices, so that’s easy enough to access. Rafe and I frequently blew off stress in here. Sometimes you get to a point where it’s all that will suffice.”

“Want to spar with me?”

“Darling, I don’t want to hurt you—”

He landed on his back on a mat five feet away, Taz standing over him with a smile on her face. “Cut the crap, Matthias. You know full well what I’m capable of.”

He climbed to his feet, a wary eye on her. “You caught me off guard, cara.”

She stepped back a few feet, kicked off her shoes, and motioned him to her. “Come on. Take your best shot, big guy.”

“Taz, I don’t think—”

“Do it, Matthias.” She didn’t think she imagined his blue eyes shifted to an inky, deep-midnight color at her challenge.



* * * *



Matthias didn’t want to, but knew he had to appease her. Something in her needed this. Even her eyes had changed color from a vibrant green to a deep, dark emerald.

They faced off and he tried to take it easy, but after she threw him for the third time, it was obvious she wasn’t holding back. If he didn’t stand up to her, she might accidentally hurt him. He sensed her pain, her grief, her rage, carefully guarded but bubbling below the surface, and she needed to get it out of her system. She needed to release the pressure somehow.

Praying he didn’t go too far, he attacked, barely managing to throw her to the mat. She jumped to her feet almost faster than he could prepare for the next onslaught. She savaged him for over twenty minutes. He didn’t let her have the advantage—it was all he could do to stay on his feet against her. Then he spotted her tears, hot and heavy, and when he had a chance he threw himself at her and wrapped his arms tightly around her, sweeping her legs out from under her, both falling to the mat. She briefly struggled, sobbing, and then she collapsed against him and cried.

“It’s okay, sweetheart.” He held her, rocking her in his arms as she wept, soothing her.

Eventually she relaxed, clutching at him, sniffling occasionally. “How can you put up with me?”

“I love you, cara.” He gently brushed the hair out of her face. “I am the lucky one. You still want to be with me after the hell I’ve brought you into.”

She sat up. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

He smiled. “No, you didn’t hurt me. I think we need to spend more time in here together. It’s a great way to release built-up tension. This is why I have this room. There’s something about sparring that is emotionally satisfying, where simply exercising is not.”

She nodded.

“How do you feel?” he asked.

“A little better.”

“Want to try the swords?” She shook her head and he clarified. “The practice swords.”

“I’m not trained in that. I only dabbled a little.”

He stood and helped her to her feet. “That’s all right.” He took two of the bamboo training swords from the cabinet and handed her one. “Just do what I do.” He assumed a stance. “Yoi!”

She mimicked him.

“Good.” He slowly worked through the form with her. As with other skills in her life, she was a quick study. Within twenty minutes, they were slowly, gently sparring with the practice swords. When they finished the first round, he straightened and nodded. “Want to try it harder?”

A sly smile swept across her face. “You talking about the practice swords?”

He grinned. “Maybe. Maybe not. One more round, and then we can go upstairs.” Her mood had shifted, lifted, lightened. This had done her a world of good, he sensed.

“Okay.”

“Yoi!” They picked up the pace. Matthias allowed her no quarter. At one point, he thought he had her cornered when she slipped past him, wheeled around and pinned him to the wall, her eyes blazing, breathing heavy.

He held up his hands in surrender, smiling. “Match to you, my love.”

She dropped the practice sword and threw herself at him. He caught her and they fell to the mats. He rolled her on top of him and worked on her shirt buttons while she devoured his mouth. She shrugged her shirt off, and he helped free her of her bra, cupping her breasts in his hands and sucking her nipples, moving from one to the other while she moaned with need.

“Do it, Matthias,” she hissed, clasping his head to her chest.

He rolled her onto her back and worked his way down her body, quickly parting her from her slacks and underwear. When she was naked, he took his time, gently spreading her legs and bending to her pussy, his tongue flicking at her clit. He slowly teased and tormented her body, refusing to be rushed. With his hands clamped firmly on her hips to prevent her from dislodging him, he wrapped his lips around her swollen clit and flicked at it with his tongue. He held her that way for a while, bringing her close and backing down again, alternating sucking her clit with fucking her with his tongue until she finally wrapped her fingers in his hair.

“Please!” she begged.

He chuckled. “Of course, cara.” He increased his efforts, his swollen cock throbbing and desperate to be buried inside her wet pussy. Drawing sharp gasps from her, he quickly brought her to climax.

Shimmying out of his pants, he finally plunged his rigid cock inside her, thrusting, his mouth taking possession of hers again. Her fingers dug into his back and pulled him tightly against her. He slipped his arms under her legs and lifted them, giving him deeper access as he stroked his cock inside her, feeling his release building.

“I love you, Taz,” he whispered, his eyes locked onto hers. “You’re the only woman I ever want.”

“Then take me, big guy, because I’m all yours.”

Adult Excerpt



His lips blistered a scorching path down her throat as his hands lifted her T-shirt, exposing her breasts. Ivan’s sharp intake of breath at the sight of her peaked nipples only served to increase her need. His lips captured one, and when his tongue flicked it, she moaned.

As he gently cupped her other breast, his fingers tweaking her nipple into a similar state, she ground her hips against him.

She wanted him. Now.

Screw patience, screw caution—she wanted him to screw her! Thank God she was still on the Pill.

“Fuck me,” she begged. “Please!”

She received a deep and hungry growl in reply. He lifted his mouth from her breast. “I will, babe. Trust me. And I won’t stop once I start. You have no idea how badly I’ve wanted to, ever since I met you.”

Lindsey closed her eyes and squirmed against him. She’d deal with reality later. No way in hell she would let him stop the delicious things he did to her body.

Ivan peeled her T-shirt off, and his hot flesh against hers felt perfectly right. She ran her hands over his firm body. He wanted her.

When she pushed her shorts and panties down her hips, he pulled them off her legs. He bent his head to her belly, kissing, licking, tasting.

That wasn’t exactly where she wanted him, but it was a damn good start.

Trying to nudge him lower, she tangled her fingers in his hair and pushed. It was like moving a large boulder. He wasn’t budging.

“I’m going to make love to you all day,” he whispered. “There’s no need to rush.”

Lindsey threw her head back, squeezing her eyes shut as he took an agonizingly long time exploring every centimeter of her flesh before lightly teasing her clit with his tongue.

“Do it. Please.”

“I want you, Lindsey.”

“I’m telling you to fuck me, Ivan.”

“That’s not what I mean.”

His choked voice more than his actual words broke through her passion. She lifted her head to look at him. His grey eyes focused on her.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

“I love you.”

Every last shred of sanity screamed at her to stop, to back up, to at the very least ask for a background check or ID or a current rabies shot certificate. Something.

But his eyes. Those big, grey eyes melted her.

He saved her. At any time he could have done…whatever he did…certainly big enough to force me. He didn’t.

He protected her. And for the first time in a long time, she felt she was exactly where she should be. Safe.

Loved.

“I love you, too, Ivan.” She knew the words were true as soon as she whispered them.

“Forever?”

“That’s a long time.”

He nodded. “You have no idea.”

“We’ve got a lot to talk about.”

He nodded again.

Lindsey swallowed, hard. “Do I start doing…this?”

He smiled. If she’d had any reservations, that would have melted them away like a spring thaw on Mt. Rainier. “Long story, but no. I was born like this.” He sat up and held her hand. “Okay. No fleas or ticks, I promise I’m faithful, and I’ll rip the throat out of any guy who dares look at you wrong. But you can’t get me neutered.”

She laughed, but his desperate, pleading look pulled at her. A guy like this should look confident he’d get the girl, but he looked scared.

“Downside?”

“It’s a fucking big secret to keep. I’ll introduce you to Jeremy.”

“Who’s he?”

“He’s my friend, boss, and Alpha.”

“Alpha?”

“Pack leader.”

She sat up. “Pack? There’s more of you?”

“More than you’d think.”

Reality hung on by a rapidly fraying thread. “Upside?” she whispered.

His smile returned and he leaned in, nuzzling her just behind her ear, making her lower belly contract in a hot and pleasant way. “I get to do this to you every day for the rest of our lives.”

“Promise?”

“Absolutely.”

She nervously swallowed as the abyss loomed beneath her. “Will you protect me and keep me safe?” It’d been so long since she’d felt safe. And the past few days, even with dog-Ivan, she’d felt safer than she had in…well, years.

A fierce expression blasted across his face. “No one will ever again harm you. Ever. I’ll die before I let that happen.”

Lindsey closed her eyes. “I’m yours.”

His growl might have been scary except for the fact that his lips did incredibly addictive things to her neck. Ivan gently lowered her to the bed. He quickly returned to his earlier position between her legs and dropped his head.

She hoped the neighbors weren’t home. His tongue firmly stroked her clit and sent a shockwave through her nervous system the likes of which she’d never experienced. When he slipped one, then two thick fingers inside her, she loudly moaned.

“Fuck, yes!” she cried.

Ivan chuckled but didn’t respond, his lips too busy massaging her swollen nub as his fingers skillfully stroked her to the most explosive climax she’d ever experienced. She screamed his name as he kept her coming for what felt like forever.

Well, she could ditch the vibrator. And the dildo. What was the point? They were smaller than him.

He eventually relented and moved up the bed to gather her against his firm chest, holding her, his face buried in her hair.

“Every day?” she gasped.

“As many times as you want.”

She flattened her body against him, his cock rubbing along her belly. “You’ve still got to propose.”

“Marry me. Please. If you want groveling, I can do that.”

“Yes.”

“To the groveling?”

She nipped his throat. His cock jumped in response. “No, silly. Yes, I’ll marry you.”

Then he slipped his cock inside her, buried deeper than any man had ever gone. He rolled on top of her while she threw her legs around his waist, hanging on for the ride.

His eyes locked onto hers. “I’ll never leave your side.”

“That’s unrealistic.”

He smiled. “You’re a ballbuster, aren’t you?”

“That a problem?”

“No. I’m always up for a little kink.” He playfully grinned.

Lindsey laughed. “I think you’ll need a daily session on the leash to remind you who takes you home every day.” She reached up and flicked the choker collar, which still hung, albeit much more loosely, around his neck.

He plunged a little deeper, drawing a gasp from her. “Leading me around by my cock isn’t good enough, huh?”

She grabbed the collar and pulled his face to hers, thrusting her tongue between his lips.

His hungry groan flipped her heart. Who was she kidding? If this hunk wanted her she’d take him even if he turned out to be a crazy psycho—or an ultraconservative Republican.

He pulled away just long enough to flip her onto her knees and slide his thick cock inside her from behind, filling her, taking her breath away.

I decided to bite the bullet and self-publish a set of eight short stories I've had floating around on my hard drive for years. They weren't really anything I had a home for, so I thought why not. The collection is called "Of Boardwalks and Bison" and I've published it on Kindle, nook, and my MadMumbler site (in case you want it in .pdf). Because I write fiction as Tymber Dalton exclusively for Siren-BookStrand now, I published it as Lesli Richardson. It's a little over 24k words long total.

Blurb:

Vampires, werewolves, and bison, oh my. This collection of eight short stories from author Lesli Richardson ranges from the humorous to the horrific—sometimes in the same story. From a vampire just trying to find a little peace and quiet in a retirement community, to a woman letting a bison take the fall for her husband taking a swim, traverse a landscape of revenge, justice…and horny flounder demons with inept alcolytes.

Next Monday, my shape-shifter collection Doggy Tales Vol. 1 will be releasing with Siren-BookStrand! :) It's available for pre-order! If you've read any of those stories before, you'll still want to buy this collection. I extensively edited (and yes, changed) "Dog Walk," "Doggy Style," and "Puppy Dog Eyes," plus there are two new stories in it as well. (Click here to pre-order.)

So...today's question is, what are you currently reading? I'm working my way through "Fear Itself," which is a non-fiction book about Stephen King and his work.

(Don't forget to add your comment sooner rather than later for a chance to win!)

"The End" and other beginnings.

(Don't forget about the contest!)

Well, I typed "The End" on "Triple Dog Dare (Triple Trouble 4)" and submitted it to my publisher today. Whew! I know, plenty of y'all have been ready to lynch me for leaving the next installment for so long. But hey, don't forget, you'll get "Fire and Ice," the prequel here in just a few weeks, along with other new releases I've got coming out. :)

(Hey, I can only type so fast. LOL)

I promise Triple Trouble 5 won't take me so long to get written. I'm bogged down in edits for the next couple of weeks, so I have to get those knocked out.

So for today's question, a little bit of fun. There's no right or wrong answer, I'm just curious to hear what's going through your minds. Picking any of my books/series, I'd like to hear your thoughts about where you think/hope the future storyline is going. I always get a kick out of it when readers write me with suggestions like that. Sometimes they're spot-on what I'd planned, sometimes they're out of left field, but I always like it because it means, to me, that I've done my job. That the reader has invested some little part of themselves in my scribbles and has a personal attachment to it. That means I got it right. It means I've incited emotions, good or bad, and as a writer that's part of my job.

Let's hear your thoughts/suggestions/hopes.
