Embrace Life, Embrace This





This is the new "wear your seatbelt" ad the UK is doing - started by some dude not hired to do it, but because the cause is important to him, he came up with this idea, and now it's being hailed across the world as a beautiful commercial.



And now the video has gone "viral" - which means, has become so popular with the general public that people are forwarding it to friends/family on their own so quickly that it has spread all over the world in a very short time. http://embracethis.co.uk/

This has to be one of the best videos I've ever seen. Truly gave me goose bumps to watch it. ~Gina Kincade

This is excellent!! ~Laurel Jackson

That's crazily good...effective beyond belief. ~Willsin Rowe

The Manigault Vampires Series by Laura Stamps is an ebook novel series of a nature typical of Laura Stamps usual book style…HOT HOT HOT! It’s one of those naughty series you start and just can’t put down!



From Laura:

“The Manigault Vampires is a serialized, paranormal erotica series published by Kittyfeather Press. The first novel in this series is A Vampire's Kiss. Here's what it's about:


"Sara Gadsden is a Wiccan Green Witch addicted to paranormal romance novels and their gorgeous vampire heroes. Like most people, she has no idea vampires actually exist until she meets Drayton Manigault at a Samhain party. Dray is not only one of Columbia's wealthiest businessmen, but he's also been a vampire for the last 145 years. Oh, and he's totally yummy. When Dray offers Sara a job working for his computer company, Manigault Technologies, fantasy collides with reality, and Sara's future is suddenly transformed into one wild, smokin' HOT ride!"

I know a serialized novel series is an unusual concept. But when have I ever done anything normal? *lol* This is the only erotica series of mine that is serialized. That means instead of it being published in book form, Kittyfeather Press is publishing it in monthly installments named after the series, The Manigault Vampires.

“A Vampire's Kiss: Book One of the Manigault Vampires” by Laura Stamps

“This is Drayton Manigault,” Noelle says to Sara, after dragging her away from Maylene and Blaine, and introducing her to several people at the party. “He’s Dracula tonight, in case you couldn’t tell.” She looks at him and snickers as if enjoying a private joke.

“And you must be Artemis,” Drayton says, ignoring Noelle. He takes Sara’s hand and bows gracefully. “You can call me Dray, sugar.”

Noelle snorts, pointing her finger at them. “Behave, you two. I’ll be back in a little while to check on you.” Still snickering, she disappears into the costumed crowd celebrating Samhain at her house.

Sara sticks her tongue out at Noelle and then turns to Dray. “I’m crazy about vampires,” she says, silently thanking the Goddess for sending this gorgeous man to Noelle’s party. “Are you Wiccan?”

Eye-candy and boy-toys are fair game as far as Sara is concerned, and Dray falls soundly in both categories. She lets her eyes slowly roam his body, not caring if he minds. If he protests, she’ll tell him she likes to appreciate a good-looking man. Men ogle attractive women all the time. Why should they have all the fun?

As Sara’s eyes caress Dray, she takes in his silky black hair flowing down to his waist, tied at the nape of his neck. He stands almost six feet tall, dressed in a tuxedo. A black cape lined with red satin drapes his broad shoulders. His body looks lean and firm, and he moves with the grace of a dancer. Hard to say how old he is, but he doesn’t look a day over thirty.

“Tasty,” she murmurs, licking her lips.

“No, I’m not Pagan,” he replies to her question, his dark eyes twinkling, as if he approves of her bold gaze. “But I assume you are.”

“Yeah,” she answers, taking another sip from the cup of punch Noelle’s boyfriend, Wynn, brought to her earlier. She gazes at the crowd in Noelle’s house, everyone laughing and talking while Pagan music flows from the CD player. “I’m a Wiccan Green Witch.”

“Interesting,” Dray replies, staring at her intently, a whimsical grin tugging at his lips. “Are you two-natured as well? Perhaps part Fey?”

Sara’s laugh is high and clear, like the tinkling of bells. “I don’t think so, but it’s funny you should ask. Blaine said the same thing last night.”

“Blaine?”

“He’s Maylene’s boyfriend. I’m staying with her this weekend.” She looks across the room, finds Maylene and Blaine talking with Savannah, and points them out to Dray. “I’ll bet they abandon me, considering the way they’ve been looking at each other all night.” She waggles her eyebrows. “The pheromones are so thick around those two I have to keep fanning myself.”

Dray chuckles.

“You and me both,” Noelle says, clomping up to them in the five-inch platform boots that are part of her Goth costume. “Hey, Dray. Do you need more punch?”

“No thank you, Noelle.” Dray inclines his head. “I’m fine.”

Noelle turns to Sara and hands her a key.

“What’s this?” Sara asks, sticking the key in the pocket of her costume.

Noelle snorts. “You were right. Maylene and Blaine are leaving. She’s spending the night at his house and said she’ll call you in the morning. That’s her door key.”

Sara looks at Dray. “See? I told you.”

“Do you need a ride?” Dray asks.

“No, but thanks anyway. She just lives five houses down.”

Dray nods and takes another sip of punch.

“I’m off to mingle,” Noelle chimes. “If you need anything, Sara, let me or Wynn know.” She hugs Sara and clomps off.

“So,” Sara says, turning her full attention to Dray. “Tell me what a yummy vamp like you is doing at a Pagan party?”

Dray clears his throat. “Yummy?”

“Definitely,” Sara replies, and waggles her eyebrows again, thinking a scrumptious man like Dray must be attached. “Where’s your date?”

“Excuse me?” Dray asks, raising his eyebrows. “Sara, do you always say exactly what you think?”

“Pretty much.” She puts her hand on her hip. “Now quit stalling and answer the question, big boy. Inquiring minds wanna know.”

Dray chuckles and shakes his head. “I’m not dating anyone at the moment, if that’s what you’re asking, sugar.”

“Hard to believe.” Sara smiles, knowing the planets must be in a favorable position tonight. It’s not often she meets a gorgeous, single man dressed as a vampire. No wonder Maylene moved to Columbia. All the good-looking men must hang out here.

“By the way, I love your hair,” Sara observes. “It’s so Yama.”

“Excuse me?”

Sara tilts her head. “Obviously, you don’t read erotica.”

Drays eyes widen. “And you do?”

“Oh, yeah,” she replies, draining her punch cup. “I think it’s important to be well read. Don’t you?”

Before he can answer, she turns him around and runs her hand down his silky black, waist-length hair. “Definitely, Yama.”

Dray allows her to turn him back around, his lips twitching, as if trying not to smile.

Sara points her finger at him when she sees his face. “There you go. Trying not to laugh at me.” She lifts her chin and glares at him. “For your information, your hair reminds me of the royal Yama in Emma Holly’s demon series.”

“Not vampires?”

“Nah, but these are totally yummy demons.”

“Ah,” he replies, unable to keep from smiling broadly. “I suppose that’s okay.”

“I’m changing the subject, big boy.” Sara narrows her eyes at him and ignores his comment. “So you’re a Manigault. That’s a Charleston name, isn’t it? Any relation?”

“Yes,” Dray replies to her first question, trying to hide his amusement. “A distant relative.”

“I thought so,” Sara tosses her punch cup in a wastebasket. “I live in Charleston, and everyone knows the Manigault House.”

“Have you been there?”

“No.” Sara smoothes and adjusts her costume now that both her hands are free. “I spend most of my time in my garden when I’m not working at the flower shop. I also help out part-time at a used bookstore.”

“Interesting.”

“You say that a lot,” Sara teases. “You need to expand your vampy vocabulary.”

Dray laughs out loud. “And you’re an expert on vampires?”

“Yeah,” Sara responds, nodding, “you could say that.” She wonders if Dray knows anything about the undead. Probably not. For all she knows he dressed like a vampire tonight because he looks fabulous in black formalwear. “I’ve read hundreds of vampy paranormal romance novels.”

“Ah, I see,” Dray replies, his eyes twinkling, a smile trying to curl the corners of his mouth.

“Go ahead and laugh. I know you want to. I’m used to it. But vampires are a hobby of mine.”

“I would never laugh at you, sugar,” Dray replies, tossing his empty cup in the same wastebasket. “Some of my friends, like Wynn, read those novels, too.”

“I know!” she exclaims, clapping her hands. “I just found out. Exciting, isn’t it?” She leans toward Dray. “Wynn is dressed like Ash tonight from the Dark-Hunter series. He’s totally yummy.” She winks. “Noelle is a very lucky girl.”

Dray shakes his head and slips his hands into his pockets, looking down at his expensive Italian loafers for a moment, hiding another smile.

Sara knows he’s trying not to laugh at her. He’s been smiling or chuckling at everything she’s said since Noelle introduced them an hour ago. No big deal. She’s used to that reaction in people.

Still it’s obvious he’s trying not to hurt her feelings. He keeps pulling those luscious lips of his into a thin line across his face.

She stares at his mouth, fascinated with how soft it is when he relaxes. In fact, Dray is such a tasty package she can only imagine how his kisses must feel. Smoldering is the word that comes to mind. If she’s lucky she’ll find out tonight.

“How do you know Wynn if you aren’t Pagan?” she asks, forcing herself to stop thinking erotic thoughts about Dray’s lips. A spike of desire ripples through her core, and she knows she’s treading on dangerous ground. The silky material of her costume isn’t going to hide how hard her nipples have suddenly become.

FACEBOOK BAN’S, Good Reasons or A REAL Violation of Facebook TOS


FACEBOOK BAN’S, Good Reasons or A REAL Violation of Facebook TOS

Bullshit Bans, This is just WRONG in so many ways.

Recently a good friend and fellow Author, Penny Vampdezire, had her facebook account banned on the basis of apparently posting “inappropriate or offensive content and/or behavior” this includes but is not limited to:

“• Creating or uploading content that is pornographic, sexually suggestive, or contains nudity
• Harassing other people with sexually explicit language
• Sending unsolicited friend requests or Inbox messages to people you don't know”

Yet no explanation is forthcoming about just WHAT this violation was and they give you not a single chance to speak in your own defense or rectify the situation by removing the “offensive” content. Facebook just simply removes your account.

An account that you’ve spent years gaining contacts on, networking with others (which is supposed to be the intent of FB) and finding friends. All of this work and time GONE, in a split second.

What about your human rights?? Forget them, they don’t exist. Facebook has a law book of it’s very own, and very little of it in writing I might add, which changes to suit whomever wishes to make the decision to ban, whenever they feel like it. Their TOS is very vague, has a broad coverage of information but really, it says almost nothing.

Did you know that the U.S. Law allows posting of “Soft Sex” on websites, this should include Facebook in my opinion.

Under current United States law, photographs (does not apply to non-photographic images such as paintings or drawings) posted on any website audience may not contain "sexually explicit conduct", which the government defines as:

- Actual or simulated:
(A) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex;
(B) bestiality;
(C) masturbation;
(D) sadistic or masochistic abuse; or
(E) lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person.

This reference is to the close-ups, or any pictures where the genitals or pubic area is the center of attention, or part of any simulated masturbation.
Artistic full nudes, characterization drawings and cartoons are acceptable as they are not subject to this class.


SO…in reading this, it says to me that Facebook, which is designed for users over 13 years of age (who receive a limited account assuming they put in their real birthdate) and users over 18 years of age (unlimited account) should be allowed to post anything that does not fall into this category….but their users can’t??!

Funny thing is, some users are allowed, and some users aren’t. It’s all up to the person VIEWING your site…Oh yes, you didn’t think that despite the “private” or ”friends only” setting on your account meant that the moderators of Facebook couldn’t see your information, you bet they can! They can get your birthday, email address…anything at all that you have previously posted on your account.
******

Do you know that facebook has made it possible for anyone you might piss off in game play to simply go to your page and have you banned with one click, and not even have to provide proof???

Why is it facebook claims they do not allow sexual content on their site yet they have applications that send "gifts" to other users that are FULL of sexual content.

Does this not contradict their own claim? Their own rules? Is facebook not in violation of their own TOS?
Does this not confuse users as to what may or not be sexually offensive or suggestive and cause for ban?

WTF Facebook, explain yourself!

Stand behind your own rules and either remove the applications or stop the BS bannings with this excuse. Stop the bannings with no proof of wrong doing by the users!

*******

In my experience, as I have been banned and the reason was ridiculous (A picture of my 3-year-old child in the bathtub with bubbles), when someone is banned the emails come flooding in.

Each and every time some popular person, game player or in this case Author, is banned, they do anything and everything to regain their account. Including but not limited to creating “petitions”, on a facebook application and sending emails, to all the facebook email addresses. This increases the traffic flow through the site by phenomenal levels for a period of time.

This creates a “look” if you will, for the investors. The look of Facebook being a great place to invest…
Gee look at the amount of traffic on the site per day, lets put our money and our advertisements there.

Facebook is funded by the advertisements you see on the right side of your page, and the applications you click on, the games you play, so why would the powers that be not make use of this “ability” to create what looks like even MORE traffic, a better place for advertisers to spend their money.

I truly believe the “bans” are for the purpose of creating a statistic to make Facebook appealing as a place to advertise, it’s for the investors.

Facebook offers applications that send "gifts" to other users that have pictures that could be considered WAY more sexually explicit or suggestive or even offensive to other users but yet despite their claim that they do not allow that type of content on their site they continue to allow applications containing this material to make them MONEY!
********

When faced with my ban, which was very conveniently timed with the “live date” of a VERY popular Vampire Role Playing Game on Facebook where I was a Developer of the game and expected, no.. required to be able to access my account, I responded with a petition, as expected and a number of emails.

In one of them I included the following:

Dear Facebook Team,

Please help. I do believe there has been some mistake. My facebook account was recently banned and the response I was given was very vague however implied there was some sort of sexual content on my profle. At this time I can only speculate as to what that was as no response has been forthcoming to my additional inquiries.

I am still very confused and very upset over this ban and accusation as in my opinion there is no violation of the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. To my knowledge there is no nudity or sexually explicit content on my profile. I did not knowingly have such things on there.

My Pastor, my child and young family members have access to my profile. My profile was also set to "private" so only my friends and family could see things that were there. I have asked many of my family members, including my Pastor if they saw anything they felt might have been confused as this type of content and at this point the only thing we can assume you are refering to was the profile picture of the vampire.

I appologize if this is the reason and it offended anyone. The picture was a "cartoon like" depiction of a vampire in a pool of blood and perhaps may have had a slight amount of skin showing but we did not think at the time that it was inappropriate. I was currently in the process of co-developing the newest Vampire game on facebook, Vampires: The Darkside so the picture seemed fitting.

I would like to add that the photo was created by a very well know artist of this type of material, to which I had to obtain permission from him to even use it, but primiairly the picture when it was created was in no way intended to be seen as any sort of sexual content or suggestive material, simply a vampire.

In the responding email I recieved it is said "Please note that nudity and other sexually explicit content is not allowed on the site" I am a little confused by this statement as to date I have seen far more offensive pictures that are very clear in thier "sexual content" on many other profiles and most importantly, in the applications that Facebook provides to send "gifts" to other users, some of which post thes picture directly upon the profile of the person who recieved the "gift".

This makes that content available to the eyes of any of Facebook’s young members. Not to mention the applications themselves can be used by 13 year olds who are on Facebook. I Find this very disturbing as I am sure pornographic material of this nature being made available to underage persons would be considered against the US law would it not. Yet, I was possibly banned for a mild non sexual photo?

Aditionally, several advertisers on the Facebook site also have worse type content which everyone can see frequently down the right had side or across the top of pages one goes to. I find this to be a little contradictory especially since my profile picture would have been seen as very lite in comparison to many of the applications or advertiser pages, if it actually fell into the category at all.

Also somewhat confusing too me is something I found on Facebook's own pages in respect to if I were to report this type of material. The information is as follows:


"How do I report pornographic content on Facebook? You can report any photo that you feel is offensive by using the "Repo... You can report any photo that you feel is offensive by using the "Report" link provided underneath the image. Facebook will monitor these complaints and remove photos as necessary. All reports will be kept confidential."

I am confused as to why the offending photo was just not removed as per the above statement and a note sent to my account with a warning thus making the ban unnecessary.

Especially since this violation you speak of would have been the first and only demerit against my use of the account to my knowlede.

I appreciate you taking the time to review my account once again as I am sure you will agree there was no such intentional violation.



NOTICE that I point out their own TOS to them in my letter, and the fact that they are not even following their own rules. Or that the applications FB allows, so they can make money, are visable to 13 year old children when posted to a page of an adult, which for a time happened automatically and without the users acceptance.

The photograph I refer to in my letter is a picture of a Vampire in a pool of blood, by Riveria. A very well known artist who has created this "cartoon-like" picture in what I would consider incredible taste. Especilaly when compared to the Extreme sexually suggestive photos available on FB…

Oh... Wait, did I say suggestive? I’ve seen downright SEX in the applications. Pictures of men and women in very visable “doggy style” sexual positions, or displays of a woman’s vaginal area and buttocks as a male renders “spankings” to her behind. There is not a damn “suggestive” thing about those photos avaialble on FACEBOOK APPLICATIONS.

So why are these photos realily avaialbe for all to see but one with a Vampire in her underwear but not showing anything of a sexual nature is not acceptable? Or one of a scantilly clad woman in a bathing suit, again not showing anything close to the FB applications.

So how the hell are we, the FB users, supposed to know what is and isn’t a violation of the TOS. Damn, makes it a bit confusing to me don’t you think.
*****

And yet we have other accounts that are allowed to remain, years and years later, that are used to be abusive, threatening, posing very clearly as "pedophilia" accounts designed to promote the harm to our children that have been reported and complained about time after time and FB does nothing about.

If they have to view accounts, and ban people, why not these accounts that are a disgrace not only to the idea of Facebook, but the entire human race. Why? Because it won't cause a stink, no one will complain if these accounts are banned. Therefore Facebook can't make any money off banning them.

Oh and just a FYI, if next week, next month or next year my account is banned again, then you know it's because of this BLOG post, which conveniently posts to my Facebook profile and Fan Page through "Networkedblogs", another FB application designed to make them MONEY!
But I am not supposed to post anything against the FB TOS on my own personal blog don't you know!..LMFAO..Yeah, whatever!

This is my FREEDOM of Speech...lets see how FB likes it.

*********
Facebook is provided to users for free, or is it? Be careful what you PAY FOR!

Bleeding to death after brutal mugging on the campus of UNLV, Twenty-five year old Alyssa, is rescued by the cold and aloof, vampire, Lysander. Taking pity, he shares with her the gift-and curse-of immortality. Alyssa awakens as a vampire and is soon devastated by harsh realities of her new way of life: the loss of her friends, her independence, and her humanity.

As if having humanity stripped away was not enough to make life interesting, Alyssa finds out her “turning”, did not go unnoticed by the rest of undead society. Old enemies; an ancient sect of vampire hunters, known as the Acta Sanctorum, as well as a powerful Vampire mistress, each set plans in motion to destroy both Alyssa and Lysander.

Only by accepting her new found immortality, seizing the night, can Alyssa hope to survive. She and Lysander must fight together against two sets of enemies bent on destroying them both.

A Vampire's Kiss: Book One of the Manigault Vampires” A MUST READ!!!






“A Vampire's Kiss: Book One of the Manigault Vampires” A MUST READ!!!

The Manigault Vampires Series by Laura Stamps is an ebook novel series of a nature typical of Laura Stamps usual book style…HOT HOT HOT! It’s one of those naughty series you start and just can’t put down!



From Laura:

“The Manigault Vampires is a serialized, paranormal erotica series published by Kittyfeather Press. The first novel in this series is A Vampire's Kiss. Here's what it's about:


"Sara Gadsden is a Wiccan Green Witch addicted to paranormal romance novels and their gorgeous vampire heroes. Like most people, she has no idea vampires actually exist until she meets Drayton Manigault at a Samhain party. Dray is not only one of Columbia's wealthiest businessmen, but he's also been a vampire for the last 145 years. Oh, and he's totally yummy. When Dray offers Sara a job working for his computer company, Manigault Technologies, fantasy collides with reality, and Sara's future is suddenly transformed into one wild, smokin' HOT ride!"

I know a serialized novel series is an unusual concept. But when have I ever done anything normal? *lol* This is the only erotica series of mine that is serialized. That means instead of it being published in book form, Kittyfeather Press is publishing it in monthly installments named after the series, The Manigault Vampires. In each monthly issue you'll find three chapters from the first novel in this series (A Vampire's Kiss). Each issue will go on sale the first week of the month. Perfect for those who love romantic vampire erotica! Think of this as your smokin' HOT vampire fix every month from award-winning erotica novelist Laura Stamps. What could be better, right? *lusty grin*



Laura has given us volume one and two, and finally volume three is here!!! For those of you have been waiting for it, order it now from her Vampy Blog page http://www.avampskiss.blogspot.com

Laura Stamps, Author of “The Witchery Series” as well as many other incredibly stimulating erotic and erotic paranormal books, is a lusty, paranormal erotica novelist & the award-winning author of 45+ books for a reason my friends. She is just THAT good. 100% satisfaction guaranteed in my opinion.

As well as all her other books can be found on her Blog page http://www.avampskiss.blogspot.com or Naughty Web Page at http://www.LauraStamps.com where you can purchase her books, recommended adult fun items from her naughty adult shop and more!

Thank you Laura! Enjoy!



“A Vampire's Kiss: Book One of the Manigault Vampires” by Laura Stamps

“This is Drayton Manigault,” Noelle says to Sara, after dragging her away from Maylene and Blaine, and introducing her to several people at the party. “He’s Dracula tonight, in case you couldn’t tell.” She looks at him and snickers as if enjoying a private joke.

“And you must be Artemis,” Drayton says, ignoring Noelle. He takes Sara’s hand and bows gracefully. “You can call me Dray, sugar.”

Noelle snorts, pointing her finger at them. “Behave, you two. I’ll be back in a little while to check on you.” Still snickering, she disappears into the costumed crowd celebrating Samhain at her house.

Sara sticks her tongue out at Noelle and then turns to Dray. “I’m crazy about vampires,” she says, silently thanking the Goddess for sending this gorgeous man to Noelle’s party. “Are you Wiccan?”

Eye-candy and boy-toys are fair game as far as Sara is concerned, and Dray falls soundly in both categories. She lets her eyes slowly roam his body, not caring if he minds. If he protests, she’ll tell him she likes to appreciate a good-looking man. Men ogle attractive women all the time. Why should they have all the fun?

As Sara’s eyes caress Dray, she takes in his silky black hair flowing down to his waist, tied at the nape of his neck. He stands almost six feet tall, dressed in a tuxedo. A black cape lined with red satin drapes his broad shoulders. His body looks lean and firm, and he moves with the grace of a dancer. Hard to say how old he is, but he doesn’t look a day over thirty.

“Tasty,” she murmurs, licking her lips.

“No, I’m not Pagan,” he replies to her question, his dark eyes twinkling, as if he approves of her bold gaze. “But I assume you are.”

“Yeah,” she answers, taking another sip from the cup of punch Noelle’s boyfriend, Wynn, brought to her earlier. She gazes at the crowd in Noelle’s house, everyone laughing and talking while Pagan music flows from the CD player. “I’m a Wiccan Green Witch.”

“Interesting,” Dray replies, staring at her intently, a whimsical grin tugging at his lips. “Are you two-natured as well? Perhaps part Fey?”

Sara’s laugh is high and clear, like the tinkling of bells. “I don’t think so, but it’s funny you should ask. Blaine said the same thing last night.”

“Blaine?”

“He’s Maylene’s boyfriend. I’m staying with her this weekend.” She looks across the room, finds Maylene and Blaine talking with Savannah, and points them out to Dray. “I’ll bet they abandon me, considering the way they’ve been looking at each other all night.” She waggles her eyebrows. “The pheromones are so thick around those two I have to keep fanning myself.”

Dray chuckles.

“You and me both,” Noelle says, clomping up to them in the five-inch platform boots that are part of her Goth costume. “Hey, Dray. Do you need more punch?”

“No thank you, Noelle.” Dray inclines his head. “I’m fine.”

Noelle turns to Sara and hands her a key.

“What’s this?” Sara asks, sticking the key in the pocket of her costume.

Noelle snorts. “You were right. Maylene and Blaine are leaving. She’s spending the night at his house and said she’ll call you in the morning. That’s her door key.”

Sara looks at Dray. “See? I told you.”

“Do you need a ride?” Dray asks.

“No, but thanks anyway. She just lives five houses down.”

Dray nods and takes another sip of punch.

“I’m off to mingle,” Noelle chimes. “If you need anything, Sara, let me or Wynn know.” She hugs Sara and clomps off.

“So,” Sara says, turning her full attention to Dray. “Tell me what a yummy vamp like you is doing at a Pagan party?”

Dray clears his throat. “Yummy?”

“Definitely,” Sara replies, and waggles her eyebrows again, thinking a scrumptious man like Dray must be attached. “Where’s your date?”

“Excuse me?” Dray asks, raising his eyebrows. “Sara, do you always say exactly what you think?”

“Pretty much.” She puts her hand on her hip. “Now quit stalling and answer the question, big boy. Inquiring minds wanna know.”

Dray chuckles and shakes his head. “I’m not dating anyone at the moment, if that’s what you’re asking, sugar.”

“Hard to believe.” Sara smiles, knowing the planets must be in a favorable position tonight. It’s not often she meets a gorgeous, single man dressed as a vampire. No wonder Maylene moved to Columbia. All the good-looking men must hang out here.

“By the way, I love your hair,” Sara observes. “It’s so Yama.”

“Excuse me?”

Sara tilts her head. “Obviously, you don’t read erotica.”

Drays eyes widen. “And you do?”

“Oh, yeah,” she replies, draining her punch cup. “I think it’s important to be well read. Don’t you?”

Before he can answer, she turns him around and runs her hand down his silky black, waist-length hair. “Definitely, Yama.”

Dray allows her to turn him back around, his lips twitching, as if trying not to smile.

Sara points her finger at him when she sees his face. “There you go. Trying not to laugh at me.” She lifts her chin and glares at him. “For your information, your hair reminds me of the royal Yama in Emma Holly’s demon series.”

“Not vampires?”

“Nah, but these are totally yummy demons.”

“Ah,” he replies, unable to keep from smiling broadly. “I suppose that’s okay.”

“I’m changing the subject, big boy.” Sara narrows her eyes at him and ignores his comment. “So you’re a Manigault. That’s a Charleston name, isn’t it? Any relation?”

“Yes,” Dray replies to her first question, trying to hide his amusement. “A distant relative.”

“I thought so,” Sara tosses her punch cup in a wastebasket. “I live in Charleston, and everyone knows the Manigault House.”

“Have you been there?”

“No.” Sara smoothes and adjusts her costume now that both her hands are free. “I spend most of my time in my garden when I’m not working at the flower shop. I also help out part-time at a used bookstore.”

“Interesting.”

“You say that a lot,” Sara teases. “You need to expand your vampy vocabulary.”

Dray laughs out loud. “And you’re an expert on vampires?”

“Yeah,” Sara responds, nodding, “you could say that.” She wonders if Dray knows anything about the undead. Probably not. For all she knows he dressed like a vampire tonight because he looks fabulous in black formalwear. “I’ve read hundreds of vampy paranormal romance novels.”

“Ah, I see,” Dray replies, his eyes twinkling, a smile trying to curl the corners of his mouth.

“Go ahead and laugh. I know you want to. I’m used to it. But vampires are a hobby of mine.”

“I would never laugh at you, sugar,” Dray replies, tossing his empty cup in the same wastebasket. “Some of my friends, like Wynn, read those novels, too.”

“I know!” she exclaims, clapping her hands. “I just found out. Exciting, isn’t it?” She leans toward Dray. “Wynn is dressed like Ash tonight from the Dark-Hunter series. He’s totally yummy.” She winks. “Noelle is a very lucky girl.”

Dray shakes his head and slips his hands into his pockets, looking down at his expensive Italian loafers for a moment, hiding another smile.

Sara knows he’s trying not to laugh at her. He’s been smiling or chuckling at everything she’s said since Noelle introduced them an hour ago. No big deal. She’s used to that reaction in people.

Still it’s obvious he’s trying not to hurt her feelings. He keeps pulling those luscious lips of his into a thin line across his face.

She stares at his mouth, fascinated with how soft it is when he relaxes. In fact, Dray is such a tasty package she can only imagine how his kisses must feel. Smoldering is the word that comes to mind. If she’s lucky she’ll find out tonight.

“How do you know Wynn if you aren’t Pagan?” she asks, forcing herself to stop thinking erotic thoughts about Dray’s lips. A spike of desire ripples through her core, and she knows she’s treading on dangerous ground. The silky material of her costume isn’t going to hide how hard her nipples have suddenly become.

Synopsis:

"After a near miss with a shark while diving in the Red Sea in Egypt, Jarrett is rescued by a dolphin and unwillingly dragged to an underwater chamber. But it isn’t just any dolphin. Wounded and unsure of his surroundings, Jarrett watches in awe as the dolphin shifts into a beautiful woman he is unable to resist.

Hatmehyt, an Egyptian goddess, was drawn to the man swimming near the reef while in her dolphin form, but soon realizes Jarrett is her mate. Unable to thrive on land, she has to make the painful choice to either keep him with her or let him go to the surface when the shark bite he received threatens his life."



"An Excerpt From: HIS SEA GODDESS

Copyright © MARISA CHENERY, 2010

All Rights Reserved, Ellora's Cave Publishing, Inc.

In her dolphin form, Hatmehyt turned back from the bull shark that she’d chased away to find the mortal she had saved trying to swim back to shore. Out for a swim around the coral reef, one of her favorite things to do, she’d spotted the man. She’d then followed him at a discreet distance. Something about him had drawn her to him. Hatmehyt knew it had nothing to do with his looks, because she had no idea what he really looked like covered up the way he was. He just appealed to her, making her want to be close to him. He intrigued her enough to have her doing what she normally avoided—interacting with a mortal.

She quickly swam after him. Even though his wound didn’t seem to be bleeding too badly, she knew it would be enough to draw every shark in the area. She swam around in front of him and blocked his path. Hatmehyt knew the only way he would survive without being attacked by another shark was for her to take him to her underwater home. It would be a much shorter swim than the one to the shore.

Once he stopped swimming, she swam up beside him and let her dorsal fin brush up against his hand. As soon as he took hold, she towed him through the water in the opposite direction. No surprise, he let go once he realized they weren’t headed for shore. Hatmehyt swam back to him and once again positioned her dorsal fin under his hand. This time he didn’t take it. She debated whether or not to shift into her human form to show him she wasn’t like the wild dolphins that lived in the area, but in the end she decided against it. It would only use up what little time they had left. So instead of offering her fin again she gently took his wrist in her jaws and pulled him through the water.

Putting on a burst of speed, Hatmehyt didn’t give the mortal a chance to resist. Determined to get him to her underwater home before anything else happened to him, she shot through the water. When the underwater tunnel entrance came in sight, she let go of his wrist and used her nose to force him to swim through it.

She gave him another quick shove to keep him moving before she turned back to drive away another shark that had come up behind them. This one seemed more determined than the other as it came back for another pass. After a quick glance at the entrance to reassure herself that the mortal hadn’t decided to come back out, she focused her attention on the shark. It was time to teach this one what happened when you incurred the wrath of an Egyptian fish-goddess."
