New Year Sunday Snog gets Wild!
posted in Blog |
Happy New Year! Today’s snog comes from Wild Rendezvous. Which I think is pretty apt for the time of year when we think about new beginnings, here’s the blurb to explain why:
Wedding bells start to ring and as Leanna works single handedly to keep her family the strain starts to show. A rare break gives Joe the opportunity to arrange the wildest rendezvous of all. Where he dominates Leanna in the public park with an audience to witness her spanking.
But when Joe’s mother arrives a few days before the wedding Leanna soon learns why he came to the UK to get away from her. When Joe runs away again what can she do to get him back? Will Leanna’s dream wedding happen at all?
Now Leanna and Joe have been arguing about what Joe is going to wear to their wedding. Leanna has her dress all ready (it’s a few sizes too small, but hey, she can diet, right?) but Joe is being stubborn and Leanna has stormed off in a huff.
He’s already lost his flat, his bachelor freedom and he doesn’t want to lose anything more.And what have I been doing? I’ve been telling him he has to move on, get something new. I’ve been telling him to get rid of everything he was, even though I didn’t realise it, that is just what I had done.
As I lift the corner of the duvet to get out of bed, the bedroom door opens. Joe walks in, head down and after shutting the door behind him he walks over and sits on the bed. He lays a hand over mine and squeezes it.
‘I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been so stubborn. I’ll go get measured for that new suit tomorrow, if you like.’ ‘No, I don’t like,’ I reply, ‘I’ve been completely hard- headed and I’ve just realised what I’ve been asking you to do. I don’t want you to be anyone but you at our wedding. I don’t want you to change. I’ve been such a fool. You should wear your favourite suit to the wedding, in fact I insist on it.’ He looks up, his broad face is covered with a smile that lights up his cloud grey eyes. ‘Thank you,’ he whispers before his lips touch mine.
There is a revelation in the intensity of his kiss. It hits me how important this decision was. If I’d continued to insist on a new suit that I’d have lost something vital from my man. And he was willing to give it up. He was willing to pander to my wishes to make me happy despite the attachment he has to that garment.
His hands smooth down my arms and I press my fingers to his chest. Clothes do not make the man but you cannot take away the symbolism associated with a garment. Cool, calm, sophisticated business man Joeis represented by the suit. I love that part of my fiancé and can’t believe how close I came to stripping that away from him.
‘I’m sorry,’ I gasp. He kisses away from my lips to my ear, ‘I can’t believe I was so insensitive.’ ‘It’s OK,’ he whispers between nibbles along my neck and collarbone, ‘I am glad you’re letting me wear it now but I decided downstairs that a suit was not worth losing you over.’ ‘But it’s more than a suit, I realise that now,’ ‘Hush, it’s done with. You know, I know and now I want to make love to the most beautiful woman in all the world.’
It’s not the number one reason why I love him, but his way with words is definitely up there in the top ten reasons I desire him so much. And then there’s the thing he does with his mouth just in the dip of my neck that he’s doing right now and it’s turning my whole body to silken liquid and any kind of thought, any kind of ability to string together a sentence just goes out of the window.
All I can think about is his body and its proximity to mine.

So what are your plans for tonight? My plan is the same plan I’ve had for the last 14 years or so. I’m going to spend time snuggled up with my husband, watching telly and just waiting for midnight. When we’ve kissed and the fireworks have finished I’ll go to bed.
I know, it’s not a particularly thrilling sounding tradition but I like it. I’ve never been a big partier for New Year, it is the passing of time, another night, nothing terribly special to me. But I do enjoy looking back over the years previous and I enjoy wondering what the future might hold.
2011 has been pretty awesome. I’ve had 19 titles released this year. Now that’s kind of mind blowing! I’ve met more authors than I could have imagined and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I’ve been mentioned on National telly (oh yes indeedy, thanks Vanessa!) and had a print novel released. Me, the short story writer! I keep telling people that it doesn’t really count. Tempting Rendezvous (US, UK) is actually 3 seperate stories written over a three year time period but still, there it is, a novel, however I wrote it!
I’ve deepened friendships, outed my erotica writing side to my vicar, spent a lovely holiday in Scarborough, my favourite place in the world. I’ve spent more time in London than I could have dreamed I would and made a double visit to the lovely Lincoln. I was delighted to find myself amongst a whole host of steampunk folks one of those times, that was a real sight to behold!
2011 has had some brilliant highs so I’m looking forward to even more in 2012. I wish you all there very best for the New Year. Health, happiness and most of all love. I hope you’ll continue to visit me here and I promise to do my best to entertain you! If there’s anything you’d specificly like to see then let me know and I’ll see what I can do!
So enjoy the festivities and…

2011 has been a a fantastic year for meeting friends. Many of them I’d already met online but have had the pleasure of meeting in the Flesh!
Back near the beginning of the year, April I do believe I got my first taste of SH! and met some great authors for the first time. The lovely Lucy Felthouse, my fellow Northern bird, KD Grace who is always chipper and sweet, Kay JayBee who has a naughty smile that matches her imagination, The very sophisticate Rebecca Bond (and her talented photo taking mate Parv) and the lovely Lexie Bay among others.
May saw me visiting Lincoln for the book festival. I met Serena Yates, who is funny as well as talented, Elizabeth Coldwell who has many entertaining tales to tell and these lovely ladies:
Heidi (official talker type PR lady) and Claire (Big boss big!) from Total-E-Bound. I also met the lovely Nicki, but she didn’t pose for a photo same can be said for the lovely Emmy Ellis (Also known as Natalie Dae) who is as warm in real life as online!
So I wasn’t even half way through the year and I’d met loads of lovely author folks and was eager to meet more.
So I was tempted in by the siren call of SH! Once more. This time I visited their lovely Hoxton branch for Rachel Krammer Bussel‘s special night of readings.
I met up with a few familiar faces and also met the lovely Jacqueline Applebee, Janine Ashbless and Justine Elyot and I was thrilled to spend some time talking authorly shop stuff with all these great writers.
I found myself in Milton Keynes in the summer with a room full of authors, more than I could ever mention by name (apologies) but if you check out the GLBT UK Meet page you’ll see them listed there.
It was a brilliant day filled with good food, laughter and great information. I had fun doing a little talk on Writers block and how to beat it.
The latter end of the year brought my Rendezvous Book Launch (At Sh again, I love it there, the girlz are wonderful!) and Erotica in London. I had fun at both and met many friends old and new. At Erotica I caught up with the lovely Hazel Cushion who I’ve met a few times before, she was keeping a very close eye on the Xcite stall with Matt, the new guy on the block who indulged my husband in lots of tech talk, making his weekend all the more pleasurable too!
I have met so many people this year. I’ve made new friends, concreted online relationships and laughed and laughed and laughed some more. I am so very blessed to have so many awesome author friends and I count all those I only know via the internet thus far. One day ladies and gents, one day I’ll meet you in the flesh I’m sure!
Thank you all for your support and friendship, it means the world to me and I wish you all many sales in 2012!

Do you need something to pep up the last few days of December? You do, well let me suggest to you the final chapter in the Rendezvous trilogy of books. Yep Wild Rendezvous is out now and it is well worth getting excited for!
Okay, so Leanna and Joe are in love, really in love. They’ve worked out their differences and over come some pretty big obstacles already, like Joe’s workaholic nature and Leanna’s reluctance to let anyone get close to her daughter Lucy. Joe’s even survived meeting Leanna’s eccentric mum! But they are about to face the two biggest challenges to date.
Number 1 is A wedding Dress that is TOO SMALL!
Number 2 are you ready for it? Leanna certainly isn’t. It’s her Mother in Law.
‘She can’t be all that bad!’ I hear you cry, oh but you’ve not met her yet. Check this snippet out:
I realise I’ve made a boo-boo with her name so maybe I should be a little more circumspect but the tension in the room is palpable and Beverly is obviously the centre of it. I try really hard to smile sweetly and not to go and throttle the old lady perched on the edge of my sofa. She may have bright red lipstick on and a short, floaty summer dress but she is certainly not young. She reminds me of a lovely old lady I knew when I was a child. She was 70 and wore a bright red wig and make-up to match till the day she passed on. She was bonkers but harmless. Joe’s mum is clearly the former but I’m not convinced of the latter.
‘Ahh, so you’re Deanna.’ She stands up primly, brushes the skirt down her legs, and offers me her hand. ‘Yes, I am Leanna.’ I emphasise the “L” sound at the beginning of my name. ‘Nice to meet you.’ ‘Yes,’ she says and feebly takes my fingers and wiggles them up and down. ‘Of course.’ ‘Mama!’ Lucy greets me by enthusiastically throwing herself around my legs. ‘Hello sunbeam.’ I giggle. ‘Did you miss me?’ I pull her away from my legs and lift her into my arms. Her sticky fingers come up to my cheeks and stroke them. She giggles and I kiss her on her nose. She slobbers on mine in return.
‘You were a much cleaner baby,’ Joe’s mum mumbles a little louder than I believe she realises. ‘I was very careful of that.’ ‘Mother,’ he exclaims in a low, measured tone, ‘would you stop it?’ ‘What, pumpkin? I was just saying.’ ‘And stop calling me that.’ He’s at the end of his tether, I can tell. ‘Joe, love, tea smells lovely. Cinnamony, in fact,’ I spout, trying to alleviate some of the tension. ‘Tea? Oh no, dear, this is coffee, not that disgusting weak brew you Brits like.’ ‘Mother, she means the evening meal.’ He sighs. ‘Yes, we call our evening meal “tea” here in the north.’ ‘Oh, how very peculiar,’ she replies with something approaching a smile or it could have been a grimace. ‘I call it dinner.’
‘I made a pie.’ Joe decides to completely ignore his mother. ‘Lucy helped.’ ‘Yes, the poor urchin was covered in flour when I arrived.’ Joe’s mum butts in again. ‘Did you have fun baking?’ I speak directly to Lucy, who giggles and nods. ‘So we have apple pie for dessert and we’ve got chicken salad for tea. In fact, it just needs serving up.’
‘Brilliant.’ I smile. ‘You’re a star, Joe.’ I put Lucy on the floor. ‘OK, bub, show me the way to the food.’ She giggles, grabs my hand and pulls me over to the dining table. I try hard not to pick up on what Joe’s mum is mumbling about but she doesn’t seem to like the idea of people not hearing what she has to say. ‘Fancy not changing before dinner, how uncouth, and expecting the man to cook? Oh my, it’s ridiculous. What a terrible wife she’s going to make.’
I take a deep, calming breath. She’s of the older generation; she may be suffering a little culture shock or jet lag, maybe both. I’m willing to cut her a little slack.
See what I mean and she only gets worse? If you want to see if the wedding ever actually takes place then you need to pick up Wild Rendezvous today and finish off your collection!
