Storywitch's "Book of Shadows"

And the winner of this month’s book of your choice contest is Selina! Yay, Selina!! Congratulations, girl, and I’ve sent you a direct email to find out which book you’d like.

Hope you all are doing well. I will be either heading to DragonCon this weekend or battening down for Hurricane Earl – we’re waiting to see which way he’ll turn. And of course next weekend, I’ll be at Lora Leigh’s RAW in West Virginia. Theeennnn, the weekend after that, I’ll be at Authors After Dark up in New Jersey. Hope to see some of you at these events!

Also, for those of you particularly interested in Knights of the Board Room, Jon’s story, Afterlife, was turned in today. I’ll keep you posted on a release date, and hope to put an excerpt on the site once I get the thumbs up from my editor. :>

Okay, now I’m really going. Have a great September!

Egads, I forgot to include this in this month’s newsletter! You could win an advance copy of Vampire Trinity! Just logon to the fan forum, look under Mina’s Coral Sanctuary where the contests are held, and choose Vampire Trinity Contest thread. http://fansofjoeywhill.forumotion.com/. Good luck! Also, don’t overlook that area of the thread – they’re constantly running excellent contests – for books, gift certificates, pretty baubles, etc… The mod ladies rock!

Oh, PS on that – the winner will be announced this Thursday, so don’t delay!

Hope you enjoy our conclusion (at least for now!) of Mason and Jess’s vignette. This will be it for vignettes for a little while, at least until I get past the Sep-Oct conferences and my November 30 deadline, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have delightful things coming up. See the first comment at the end of this vignette!

Jessica put her hands on his knees, sliding over the bone to the firm joining point of the muscles that layered his thighs. All her senses were open to the nth degree, such that the nerve endings in her fingers registered each element of the terrain. Smooth, slim bands from the knees, tributaries that ran down to those wide muscles leading up his inner thighs. She hooked the opening in the towel, tugged enough to have it loosen at his waist, then slid her hand under, enjoying the pleasure of first finding him by touch, whispering over his testicles, then to the heat and life of his cock. Her hand closed over the thick base root, resting the side of her hand on the heavy sac beneath it. With the other hand she pushed the towel back, revealing the impressive length and breadth of him. She felt a surge of quaking delight at the viscous fluid collected at the top, waiting for her parted lips.

Can you imagine it, habiba? They are all watching, the most powerful vampires in the world. Their servants stand still behind their chairs, yet every eye is on you, on whether you will serve me well.
