I’m heading to the doctor for a round of appointments this morning, so won’t be around until later, but I’ve already posted something over at Access Romance’s All-A-Blog. I’d love for you to join me there. I’m doing some major bragging! 😆

Just for fun and because I’m going to be writing like a demonesse today, I plucked a question from my “chat pack.”

What was your favorite thing to pretend when you were a young child?

I’ll post my answer later and you’ll have a great big laugh.

Tell Me What You Want…
The men crowd in and howl for more when Sin’s on stage—she knows just how to work it, wrapping her lithe body around the pole to dance down and dirty. But Sin doesn’t see them, lost in a world of her own…until sexy private investigator “Mac” Garret McAllister steps into the club.

…What you really really want
In one night of erotic passion, the man turns her inside out and her world upside down. Mac pays homage to her beautiful body with delicious, carnal ferocity. When the sun comes up, she cuts out. She can’t let him get too close to her heart…But two years later, they reunite. Still on fire for her, Mac is ready to do whatever it takes to ensure his woman stays right where she belongs–in his arms and his bed. Forever this time.

“Terry has written another delicious tale of erotic interracial romance and suspenseful conflict. The sex scenes are scorching, sensual and leave nothing to the imagination. With a vivacious heroine and a true-to-life alpha hero, this believable story hooks readers from the first page and keeps their attention until the end.”

Today, I’ll be hosting the Ellora’s Cave chat loop, along with Myla Jackson and Shayla Kersten.

All day, we’ll be posting sexy excerpts, running scavenger hunts for prizes and holding one live chat at around 11 AM CST. Be sure to stop by for the fun.

I spent last weekend at Lora Leigh’s RAW. I’ll be posting pics this week, now that I have the suckers loaded. Thought I’d share a couple with the Cavegirls.

For all the years I’ve been hosting list days, I never knew what my lovely moderator looked like, but here’s Renee’ and her husband Joe. I loved them both! I ate a meal with them and watched the way she looks at him from under her eyelashes. I could see the color creep under his cheeks and how eagerly he responded. Wow.

Also for the EC crowd, here’s Lorie O’Clare and myself. Lorie and Jess were the hardest working ladies a the conference. I hadn’t seen her since I guess 2004 when we were at a booksigning together in Dallas, and I didn’t spend a lot of time with her because she was flitting around like a madwoman trying to keep things running smoothly and stomping out fires.

…which means soon I won’t be able to gut out a swim in the cooling waters of my pool. There goes my tan and the new muscle I spent a summer discovering.

It also means I have to start a new book. The fourth in the Dark Realm series. I have the first four or five chapters firmly in my mind, but not a clue what’s going to happen for the rest even though I did write a synopsis and run it by my editor. As always, she says there’s too much plot because she worries there won’t be enough sex or the story will be too complicated and with too many characters. The cast is firmly in my mind, so it’s hard for me to see it from a new reader’s point of view. She’s probably right, so that’s why I have to re-dream the rest of the book.

There’s also the release of my next book, Down in Texas, and the accompanying promotion I have to do, including a fifteen day countdown that will be lots of fun. But I have to dream up all the selling points of my novel and use them to tease you—so it’s work just the same.

And I still have to finish unpacking from the Lora Leigh convention and get my pictures uploaded. I’ll try to get to that today, but right now I have a 4-year-old underfoot who wants me to sit with her and watch Forbidden Kingdom, so we’ll see how far along I get.

It’s nice having another few days to relax before I have to start the next marathon.
