Janice Hawkins is on a mission, and it doesn’t include getting wrapped up—or naked—with Delroi warrior Falkor Trace. No matter how appealing and sexy he is.
She’s determined to infiltrate the shadowy Tel Group homebased on Earth. The secretive organization of telepaths trained her, used her for dishonorable means, and may have been behind the death of her parents. When word reaches her the organization is once again recruiting minors, she knows the time has come to act. She may not be left standing at the end, but she’s taking them with her.
Falkor is intrigued by Janice—enough to follow her to Earth—but when he begins digging, he discovers she is a mix of lies and secrets. Unraveling them exposes a woman of courage and honor. A woman who has always walked alone. She may not be willing to admit she needs help, but he’s not about to leave her to such a dangerous undertaking on her own. But to emerge victorious, they must learn to trust each other–and time is running out.
In 2012, the world came to a grinding halt as radiation hit from a massive solar storm. Crops died, animals perished, cities fell and humans became little more than beasts themselves. Under the threat of starvation, civility was reduced to mere memory. Only the strongest men survived, and physically weaker women and children wasted to nothingness.
More than a century later, humanity struggles in the desert Wasteland that was left. The solar radiation rendered most women infertile, and the population dwindles more with each year that passes. Scattered up and down coasts, isolated cities eke out an existence from fishing, foraging and hunting for what little game remains. Outside the city walls, men face the threat of pirates and raiders.
Few women remain, divided into four classes—Wanderers, Whores, Breeders and Priestesses. They are as reviled as they are worshiped, a commodity any man must pay to touch.
There is only one rule in the Wasteland—survive.

THE BREEDER, Book Three in the Wasteland Series
Destined to serve the desires of an entire city, all she wants is one man. Or maybe two…
Wasteland, Book 3
Born to the Temple, Nitara knows the Great Goddess’s plan for her: to bring life into what is left of an arid and wasted Earth. Since puberty she has been trained to arouse and titillate, to ensure the continuation of the human race.
As is the custom, the man captured for her is strong of blood, though considered little more than a wild animal. Yet when she looks into his eyes, she sees no primitive creature, but the man whose face and hands haunt her sensual dreams.
For Akaash, a hunter and warrior, it’s his shame that he will be sacrificed to a goddess he doesn’t believe in, for a people who are not his own, leaving behind his Wanderer clan—and his bonded lover, Dhatri. Locked in the bowels of the Temple, he has a month to ponder his fate, all while falling helplessly under the spell of the virgin temptress who will soon take his life.
With each tortuously erotic encounter, however, Akaash realizes that Nitara is as much a prisoner as he. If he can just get a message out to Dhatri, there may be a slim chance both of them can escape…

I haven’t talked about the mission to get in shape in a while, so it’s time for a little check in.
Let’s see…I plateaued hardcore for a few months there, which was depressing as all get out, but in the last month or so I’ve started losing again. Which was funny, because in the last month I’ve been traveling and at conferences, which means I wasn’t eating as well or working out as often as I do at home. For whatever reason, that kicked my system back into the, “oh, yeah…we’re downsizing right now.”
In any case, back home and back on the working out bandwagon, which means I’m dropping. Woot. I’m currently 3 pounds from a weight that I never thought I’d see again. So far to go for the final goal, but still. This is a biggie. Maybe I’ll make it by the end of the month! Wish me luck!
The Smutketeers will be chatting at the Samhain Cafe Yahoo loop later today, giving away prizes and just being our usually smutly selves. Feel free to stop by and say howdy, enter some contest, or just hang out.
We’ll be there from 2-4 PST, 3-5 MST, 4-6 CST, 5-7 EST. See? I even figured out all the time zones for you, and I hate any kind of math. Come play!
I spent the week with KB at RT and she is one of the sweetest and most awesome people, so…of course I must pimp her books out like cheap hookers. Go on…you know you want some!
Kyriana Price has spent nearly a year trapped at her evil day job. And she does mean evil. Her boss is a mage bent on power and lets nothing stand in the way of his quest to gain more of it. When she sees Connul Graysn wielding a flogger at a BDSM club, she formulates an escape plan that will require his considerable skills—as a mage and as a Dom. Going to another mage for help might not be the best plan, but it’s the only one she’s got, and at this point, she’s willing to try just about anything.
The last thing Connul expects when he finds an intruder in his house is that he’ll soon have her chained in his bedroom, her lovely body marked by his paddle. But she’s begging for his help—how can a gentleman refuse? As they learn to trust each other, he begins to realize that the only thing he’s not willing to do for her is let her go.
Lilli Feisty launches the second in the Wasteland series that I’m part of. Her installation, The Whore, is out today from Samhain. Go buy it! Details below!
Wasteland: The Whore by Lilli Feisty
Her quest for freedom plunges her into dangerous waters…of desire.
A Wasteland story.
Bryn is a “Rose”, but her life is no garden. A stolen child, prostitution is the only life she’s ever known—except on the nights she sneaks out in stolen men’s clothing to explore the city. A tiny taste of freedom that makes her long for a life outside sexual servitude, at the mercy of any man who can pay.
Xander remembers no other home except his pirate ship, smuggling weapons or anything else for a fee. He’s been happy with his life and his lover, Hawke…until he rescues who he thinks is a young man from robbers.
Figuring she can blend in with the crew, Bryn jumps at the chance to escape the Brothel. Then she discovers Xander and Hawke have a taste for pretty boys—and that she has a taste for them. In their arms, she embraces their incredible gift: control of her own sexuality.
Though women are considered bad luck at sea, Xander isn’t of a mind to give her up. Yet the time is drawing near when the ship must return to Wasteland to resupply. And what awaits them there is a danger that could tear them apart.
Warning: Contains hot pirates, bad boys, pretty boys, lots of three-way pirate sex, a woman spanking a pirate with a rare-wood paddle, a glass dildo used on a pirate—have we mentioned the pirates?
I’m going to do several of these posts this week, but here’s a fun place to start with pictures. The highlights of favorite events, people, places, etc.
Me with some Ellora’s Cavemen. You so wish you were in the middle of that sandwich, don’t you? They were very sweet guys, though.
Me with travel writer Rolf Potts at the Ellora’s Cave party. I think he was a bit shell-shocked by the amount of man titty the EC party had to offer.
Eden Bradley and me.
R.G. Alexander and me.
Will Belegon and me.
Me and the girls, just hanging out. It might have been the Vampire Ball. What, doesn’t everyone always look like this?
Me with Joy from Joyfully Reviewed. She really is that beautiful–it’s not just my awesome camera.
