Flash Fiction Roundup 12 October 2012

05 October 2012 Theme
It's the old "stay the night in a haunted house" dare routine. You managed to knock yourself out sneaking in and find you can't see when you wake up. Just to make it more fun, there's someone (or something) in the house with you. What now?

The excitement of coming soon

As an author, there's this amazing feeling when you wrap up a book and send it off to your publisher. Oh, it may not be the cigarette and Dom Perignon, a la Paul Sheldon in Stephen King's Misery, but the satisfaction is very real, whether it's a novel or a short story.

Even more happy-making is when you get through the edit and proof process and see your book pop up on the coming soon.

Look at my new Keeping Score book on the coming soon!

The first one was such a blast to write! I love my shifters, but demon hunters have endless possibilities, and all the snark and hot sex and angst and..

One Up is here

The next thing will be a cover! Book two is in the works, but book three will be about a sexy new hunter clawing his way up the ladder. What do y'all think I ought to put on that?

Tasty Tuesdays: Passionate Fruit Pizza by Anne Kane

Get this and lots of other fabulous recipes in ARe's FREE cookbook: Passionate Cooks!


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ cup cold butter – cubed
  • ¾ cup cold milk
  • available fresh fruit – strawberries, peaches, blueberries, plums, pears or whatever you can find. Canned pears work really well too.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or to taste
  • several dabs of jam – any flavour

Directions

  1. Mix dry ingredients together with a pastry blender or in a food processor until pea sized chunks are formed

  1. Add milk  and mix until it just holds together

  1. Spread a sheet of plastic wrap out on a cookie pan and put  ball of dough on it

  1. Chill for ten to fifteen minutes

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees

  1. Roll out dough to ½ inch thick in any shape you want. I like to make it oblong to fit on the cookie sheet.

  1. Dab with butter. Slice fruit to approximately a quarter inch thick and spread out on top of dough.

  1. Sprinkle with sugar, and dab jam hither and yon. It will melt to form a glaze.

  1. Bake at  450 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or yogurt.

Here's a sexy but brutal fairy (complete with severed, shrunken human head and whip!) that I doodled and made into an, "Oh, really?" icon. Feel free to download it and use it with my permission on your website or blog. Her name is Slay and she comes from the same world as Sinn in my upcoming book, Nobody Rides for Free. One look at her and folks will know not to mess around with you!

Tasty Tuesday- Gluten Free Patty Melts

Hey y'all! Guess what I'm having for supper tonight?

Serves 4

4 hamburger patties, or 1lb hamburger meat split into 4 patties (if you can afford it, go grass fed)

8 slices Udi's Gluten Free whole grain bread

1 large sweet onion (Vidalia or 1013 work great)

4 slices provolone cheese (Swiss is also good)

2 tbsp butter

Instructions

Slice onion in half through middle, then turn each half flat side down on board and cut half-moon shaped slices, thin as you can get them. Heat large skillet to medium-high, add a few thin slices of butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onions for 5 minutes on medium-high without burning, then turn heat down to medium or slightly less, and continue to cook onions, stirring occasionally, until onions reach a deep, caramel color.

Set onions aside to cool, and grill or pan-fry your hamburgers to doneness of choice. I like a nice medium burger.

While hamburgers cook, toast bread. Gluten free bread requires toasting to hold up to the sandwich. Use the rest of the butter to butter one side of each piece of toast. Chop cooked onions into bite-sized pieces.

Melt cheese on top of hamburgers as they cook the last minute. Then assemble patty melts with two slices of bread, butter on the outside, patties, onions and cheese on the inside. Grill or pan fry each sandwich for 30-60 seconds to brown butter on outside of bread.

Serve hot.

Now off to make supper!

Tasty Tuesdays: Low Carb Breakfast Muffins

Welcome to Tasty Tuesdays, where Changeling authors share their favorite specialty recipes.

From Shelby's Kitchen:
Low Carb Cinnamon Flax Seed Breakfast Muffins
Five minutes prep time
25 to 35 minutes bake time
Net Carbs app 1 per muffin (Based on a 6 well large breakfast muffin tin)

Ingredients
1 cup golden flax meal (zero net carbs)
1/2 cup almond meal (6 net carbs)
1/2 cup flax seeds (zero net carbs)
1/2 cup splenda (zero net carbs)
2 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for a spicier muffin)
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch salt
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (1 net carb)
4 large eggs (zero net carbs)

Preheat oven to 350º
Generously grease a large muffin tin with olive oil or butter.
Mix dry ingredients with a large spoon or whisk. Make a well in the middle and pour in the almond milk, then add the eggs. Stir thoroughly. Batter should not be lumpy or have dry spots. Unlike wheat flour, you won't need to use a blender to get the batter relatively smooth. Batter will have a slightly gelatinous texture. Spoon batter into muffin tin. Muffin wells should end up about 2/3 rds full.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350º for a 6 muffin tin; about 25 minutes for a mini-muffin/cupcake tin.

Note that the flax meal will absorb the milk and make the batter very stiff if you let it stand in the fridge, so I don't recommend making this up ahead of time.

Tasty Tuesday: Brandon's Apple Pie





It's apple picking season and what could be better for kicking off fall than an apple pie. Brandon and Seth from Paws on Me like apple pie. They even like to eat it in non-traditional ways ;)


Here's the recipe for Brandon's apple pie.....

Crust for a 2 crust pie
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 pinch baking powder
8T cold butter cut into small pieces
2T shortening
8-9T ice water with a few drops of lemon juice added
Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter and shortening. Do not overmix. Add water and mix with a fork. Turn out on a cutting board or other hard surface. Split in half and form into two flattened disks. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 2 days.

Filling
See Brandon's favorite filling recipe here.

Bake 15 minutes at 425F and then 30-45 minutes at 350F.

To find out how to use an apple pie to spice up your life, read Paws on Me.

Sexy Soundtracks to Your Favorite Fiction

Some authors like to include a soundtrack or playlist with their fiction, which I really enjoy. Music is a huge part of life for many of us, and it's fun to think about what might have been playing either during a scene, or in an author's head to inspire a scene.

Whether it's "You and Me" by Lifehouse, "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones, or "Magic Man" by Heart, chances are there's something sexy that would fit your story. I know that Dave Matthews Band's gorgeous song "Crash Into Me" came to mind when I read Cheryl Dragon's Four Guys and a Witch.

In November, my first Razor's Edge Press book, Nobody Rides for Free, will be released. I can hear "Low Rider" playing as Sinn, a faery worthy of her name, takes a little trip with her three new biker friends. Of course, later in the book, you might replace that song with ELO's "Evil Woman"...

What songs have come to mind when you read your favorite novels? Post a playlist for your favorite Changeling books or create one for a story you're working on.

Shifters and other paranormals

Hey y'all!
I write a lot of shifters. Really. From my Mixed Breeds series back to Mystic U and all, you can see I like wolves, cats, foxes and bears. Lots of fun stuff.
I'm finishing up Mixed Breeds 2 right now, and that one has a bear, a cougar and a wolf. Yum.

But sometimes I like to take a break and write something else. That's where Keeping Score comes in. Book one was about Rhys and Noah, two hunky demon hunters. They rocked my socks, and I hope they will yours, too.

There's one-upmanshhip, teasing, hot sex, and a Cajun grandpa.
Two Down oomes out in November, and it's book 2 of Keeping Score. It's fun. Spanky. Funny. It has a demon hunter and a blind mage. I hope y'all will take a break with me and check out the Keeping Score series!

Red Dog Saloon, Juneau, Alaska


Three Wild Cards, my western paranormal ménage releasing tomorrow, is set in a wild west saloon. I’m a fan of the old Westerns so when I wrote this story, I had a specific saloon in mind.

(Note: I don't know the folks standing in front of the saloon so I blurred their faces)


A few weeks ago, I visited the Red Dog Saloon in Juneau, Alaska. THIS is my saloon! It has the swinging doors, the sawdust-covered floors, the tables which might have been similar to the card tables Cage and Big John played at, and it even had Wyatt Earp’s gun framed above the long polished bar.



I imagined the cowboys drinking and the dancing girls performing. I smelled beer and leather and man, heard the hum of conversation, felt the sawdust under my shoes. I thought of how scared Annie must have been walking into the noisy establishment, knowing her pa had bet and would likely lose her to one of the gamblers sitting at the card table.

It isn’t often that I get to visit the site of one of my stories but I felt I had when I visited the Red Dog Saloon.


Blurb:
Annie's pa loses her in a game of cards, forcing Annie to honor his careless wager by using her body to sexually pleasure the winning male.

Saloon owners Cage and Big John share everything equally, including their winnings. Annie is no exception -- the little human female softens their rough love play and completes their threesome.

By winning Annie, the big bear and wild wolf gain their long-awaited mate. To keep her permanently in their big bed, they must convince their wary female to bet on forever.

The Plausibility Factor by Anne Kane

The Plausibility Factor

Dragons. Imperial Were-Panthers. Stargazers. Sex Demons and shifters of every description. Reality is greatly over-rated.

I love to visit the imaginary worlds that exist only in my mind. Writing fantasy and science fiction requires a great deal of attention to detail. Even though nothing I write actually exists, I have to make the premise plausible. People have to be able to believe that the worlds I create could exist, and that’s why writing these stories is so much fun.

When I started the Imperial Were-Panther series, I knew that I wanted to create a line of cat shifters. I used panthers because I love the sleek, dangerous look of them and thought they’d make wonderful heroes. Then, I needed a reason for them to exist, a job if you will. Since they were going to be heroes, they needed a heroic job. After a great deal of thought, I made them guardians of the Imperial Throne, who had given up their privileged position and decimated their own species in a valiant effort to save humanity. I had a lot of fun writing those books, and there are several more on my to-do list.

The Stargazers weren’t entirely a figment of my imagination. The ancient legends of witches who could feel the earth’s ley lines, harnessing the power of the Earth for their own purposes inspired this series. The twist is that the Stargazers can see the lines of power between the heavenly bodies. That was the big picture, but I needed to add all the little details, such as how they physically managed to do that, and the side effects of their talent. There needed to be pros and cons to being a Stargazer, as there is with everything in life.

I’ve written other stories featuring creatures that you aren’t likely to meet in your day-to-day travels, and each one had its own unique challenges. It’s the little things that make science fiction and fantasy plausible to the readers and more fun for the writers.

So how about you? Do you like your stories to be firmly based in reality, or do you enjoy reading about werewolves, Imperial were-panthers and creatures of fantasy?

Creek Street, Ketchikan, Alaska

Creek Street was the site of Ketchikan's early red light district. There were multiple 'cat houses' because Under Territorial Alaska law, more than two female boarders in the same building constituted a house of prostitution. The women would either live in pairs or alone, the exception being the Star Dance Hall (which paid larger "protection" payments).



The single men would brazenly swagger across the bridge.

However the married men or the men who wanted to hide their activities would take a more secluded winding path.

This path was known as Married Man's Trail.

Keeping up with Keeping Score

Hey, y'all!

Just got through edits on the second Keeping Score book (m/m, demon hunters) and my wonderful editor says November for the release date! I'm so tickled, y'all!

Did you read Keeping Score: One Up? If you did, book two will feature Janus, who Rhys and Noah both have great fondness for in book one. He's the head trainer of the demon hunter set, and he's been around. He's been sent to retrieve a valuable asset of the demon hunter world, and he's not happy about it. Of, course, he's even less happy when he finds not an artifact, but a person. His ex-lover, Cillian.

Haven't read book one? It's about Rhys, who thinks demon-hunters should work alone. Too bad Noah didn't get the memo.

You can get that one here!

In the meantime, since I don't want to post an unproofed excerpt (I am the queen of mixing up "s" and "d" on my keyboard), have a top ten list.

Top ten reasons demon hunting is Noah's favorite job ever

10. you get to meet such interesting demons

9. Dental insurance from the union

8. who needs pets when you have shifters to chase?

7. knee-high boots. who else gets to wear them besides motorcycle cops and Jedi?

6. life is like a Scooby-Doo episode. How cool is that?

5. Hunters get to yell things like, "Hey, you scum-sucking bottom feeder" and it's not really an insult

4. Long coats are dashing

3. Leather. Pants.

2. Hunters get all the cool weapons

1. Hooking up with another hunter, who just happens to be a stud

And now some eye candy. How about my idea of a pretty young hunter?

Woo hoo. Thanks for reading y'all

Undercurrent by Zenobia Renquist - ADULT Excerpt

Undercurrent
Wet, Book 3 (multi-author series)
by Zenobia Renquist


Still water hides deep passion.

Lulu was sent to spy on the competition so she could find out the secret of their success. Her search turns up Hotsuma, a man bound to water so he can use his power to bring good luck to those who imprisoned him.

Working to set him free ignites a passion in Lulu only Hotsuma can quench, but they can't afford to let sex, no matter how good, distract them. Hotsuma's captors aren't about to let Lulu leave with their property, and they're willing to use deadly force to stop her. They'll need more than luck for their new love to survive.

Adult Excerpt:

"That's sweet, but we still don't know why I'm the woman who can set you free. And speaking of which, let's get to it. Masato is getting serious. We need to get you out of that room before he brings in the priest."
"Duck down."
Lulu took a breath and slipped below the water. She felt the shift this time when Hotsuma moved her from the hot springs to the pool room. She needed to ask how he could do that. Then again, it didn't really matter. She was just happy he could. It saved her from trying to sneak down the hidden hallway.
She surfaced in the middle of the pool and looked around. Nothing had changed. Masato might suspect something, but he hadn't done more than summon a priest. She hoped that was all he did.
"Are you ready?" Hotsuma hugged her waist, bringing her ass up against his arousal.
"You certainly are." She giggled when he kissed her neck.
"The ladies in the hot spring were very… invigorating."
"You could act a little embarrassed."
"I could but I would be lying. Just like I would be lying if I said I only wanted you here to break the wards." He slipped one hand down her stomach and between her lower lips.
The feel of his fingers passing over her clit made Lulu bite her lip to keep from moaning. She let her head fall back onto Hotsuma's shoulder. "We haven't started yet."
"You haven't started yet. I see no reason to wait."
"Hotsuma, the barrier." Her feeble attempt at arguing lost to the pleasure spreading through her body.
Water pushed at her breasts as Hotsuma guided her to the edge of the pool. "There." He strummed her clit.
"Oh, yes. Right there."
"I meant the ward, Lulu."
She touched the edge of the pool and barely registered the shock of the ward breaking. Hotsuma rewarded her by moving his fingers faster. She rocked her hips against his touch, which also rubbed her ass cheeks over his hard dick.
"So good," he whispered as he slid his fingers lower and dipped two into her hole. "So tight."
Her breath came out in huffs. His fingers rubbed her inside, bringing her close to an orgasm. Was it the spell's side effects making her this hot or Hotsuma? He massaged one of her breasts with his free hand and she stopped caring.
"Next."
