Oh, Melissa, you’re too kind, but I’ve already got a copy from Susan! (not to mention a dedication for giving her the title, Unwrap Me)

Please, pass along the book to someone else!

Better pick some winners, a little after the fact, eh?!

Caffey and Bonnie, you win copies of UNWRAP ME, and because I’m glad to finally meet someone with your name, Fedora, I’ll send you a copy of ALL NIGHT LONG, so you can meet my Greek cruise ship gal who has a pretty neat secret!

Thanks for joining in!

Do you really?! I’m going to have to get myself a copy! (Not that I’m hot or blonde, but I’ve never had the pleasure of reading about a character with my name before!)

And I know they say youth is a state of mind, but I’m even more cautious in my uh… advancing years Oh dear!

I can’t even remember the last time I was IN a treehouse. Although, I can see the appeal!

Great tips. I alternate between really nasty music and then sweet country stuff to keep my own emotions mixed up when I write.

Hi, Bonnie and Fedora….gee I have a really hot blonde named Fedora in ALL NIGHT LONG! I’m not into getting sand in my uh, crack, either but I will confess to doing it on our college campus in the nursery plot amongst the young saplings and bushes they were growing for future plantings…can’t recall why, but that plot of campus was where my guy of the moment and I could watch students passing to and from classes on that sunny summer day. I don’t *think* anyone spotted us!

Ah to be young and adventurous and constantly horny (and surrounded by horny guys) again.

Then again…maybe not!

Hi, Melissa! What a fun post! I’ve been pretty vanilla, I have to say! I’ve always had a bit of a fantasy about the great outdoors, but haven’t had the opportunity arise (or gone out to make one ) But I also know I wouldn’t do well with the real-life reality of bugs and sand and whatnot…

LOL, Caffey loves those quiet out of the way spots. Like the boat in Pure Sex.

Melissa, I do much the same thing with all my different stories. Vary the characters, the settings, situations…the conflicts, both internal and external. Even time and place and bodies can be switched around in my books.

As for unique places….once I looked overhead and waved to the nice people looking down from the sky as they took off from a seaplane terminal. we were in a grassy field on an island.

And we were very very young. LOL (still are, and yep, same guy!)

OH–and Caffey!—If you like that “snowed in at a cabin” type of story, you’d love my cowboy novella “Cabin Fever” in the Aphro Christmas anthology from a year or so ago, called NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY.

Hi, Caffey!

I can honestly say I’ve never done it in a treehouse! But it sounds…exhilarating! Thanks for stopping by!
