Building Passions

Alarric Throkbone is as nervous as anything going into Top Tier’s head-office. Not because he’s in trouble with his boss. Because Laura will be there. The building company’s new receptionist. The one he’s been relentlessly flirting with since the day she first started!

When he meets her in person, his reaction to her is so much more intense than it should be. He instinctively knows there is more at play than just simple flirtation. Possibly something orchestrated by the Goddess Fortuna herself?

She rocks his carefully constructed world to its foundation...
Half-orc, Alaric Throkbone, is all nerves going into work at Top-Tier building company.
Laura, the new human receptionist, is a vision of blonde hair, smoky eyes, and plump lips.
He’s pulled in... Flirtations pass between them, but it’s starting to feel like more.
Laura is the poster girl for single not searching.
But the bashful half-orc with his uniquely handsome features and cuddly dad bod makes her yearn to be taken off that market.
Alaric pushes aside hesitations brought on by a past divorce and presents Laura with his mating stone...
Their fates are cemented now—no turning back.

Thank you to @lilithleana, @lyonnerileyauthor & @a Thank you to @lilithleana, @lyonnerileyauthor & @author.allegra.hall for the tags.
I am notoriously forgetful when it comes to these things so I appreciate being brought into the loop multiple times.
🧌 Planner, pantser, or plantser: Plantser. Some books I've been able to write without a guide, but most of the time I have an overview document and notes to look back on, but everything can change at the drop of a hat! 
🧌Comfort word: 'Things' I go back and change them when I am in a more descriptive frame of mind, but lots gets describes as 'a thing' in my drafts.
🧌Snack of choice: Biscuits, but my favourites are chocolate digestives. Or bourbons.
🧌Beverage of choice: Tea. I am English. We invaded India for those sweet leaves!! (And the rest of the world, most likely)
🧌Soundtrack: When I am writing, Focus Music is playing, so the mind doesn't drift. It also depends what I am writing. There's a lot of wonderful music on YouTube for various 'feels', so if I am writing a fight, that sort of vibe goes on. Also, church-style chanting features a lot.
When I am imagining, anything goes.
🧌Time of Day: Any time. Being a parent, I fit in writing as/when I can.
🧌Writing Program: I bounce between Atticus, iPages & Google Docs. 
🧌 One Word to Describe Your Process: If I had a plan... I would be deadly.

What does it take to kill a God? Waaaaaay back wh What does it take to kill a God?
Waaaaaay back when I was an illustrator, I created a Goddess/Religion for one of my characters. The Cult of Serpentis. That follow the teachings that all flesh belongs to Her. They are at her whim, their flesh forfeit to her desires. 
Non believers are there simply to sate her everlasting appetite, for the Goddess is ever hungry and all she consumes ends up as a pile of flesh upon which she dwells. 
She isn't a nice Goddess, but the rewards she offers her devoted go far beyond the pleasures of the flesh - which she see's as a waste of perfectly good skin.

Has his mating stone finally found the one for him? Are his lonely days over?
After suffering heartbreak, Leoni is not looking for love.
Still, the handsome gargoyle has her under a spell in seconds.
It dawns then that the cords of fate have tied them together.
But the unusual mating culture of the gargoyles keeps human Leoni wary.

Each of the Precious Mates features a different 'monster' that gives their mating stone to their prospective partner.
Who or what do you think would give a stone like this!?

This past week of promoting There's an Orc in my C This past week of promoting There's an Orc in my Court has felt *wonderful*
When I first published this book, we'd spent so much time together that I was so glad that it was all over. I rushed into writing the second book in the series that I didn't take time to just enjoy the moment.
I was so annoyed by the end, I never even shared the celebratory art commission I brought of Sethraun as a 'Congratulations, you just published a novel you're happy with' reward.
So I am sharing it now while the happy feelings of nostalgia are firm in my mind! 
I adore this book and the characters in it.
And after this past week of promo's I am sorely tempted to jump back into that draft, publishing goals I've written and have no inclusion of the Orc Court series be damned!!

Sometimes, an entire story comes from a single lin Sometimes, an entire story comes from a single line that clings to your thoughts and doesn't let go.
That's how the strangely titled, "There's an Orc in my Court," came to into existence. 
It's a mixed-genre novel that came right from my heart and soul. I adored every minute of writing it during NaNoWriMo and influenced by all the unpopular things I love! (British 1800's Military, Hate-Shipping, Orcs and Baker Rifles)
If you like these things too, then 'There's an Orc in my Court' is now on sale for $0.99/£0.99.

So often do we romance authors focus on the main m So often do we romance authors focus on the main male characters of our stories that the ladies get neglected?
May I introduce Queen Caesia 1st of Erawoen. 
The Pinterest Board for There's an Orc in my Court, is filled with the dresses she wears. And Sethraun style jackets!
Caesia was a lot of fun to write. 
Focusing on all the wrong things, berating Sethraun for his failings (and for being an orc) trying to avoid being murdered while her court falls down around her, whilst trying to deny her attraction to a loathsome green-skin! 
She's going to be a hoot in the next book, I promise!!

The court of Queen Caesia I is the last place Majo The court of Queen Caesia I is the last place Major Sethraun Rognathson expected to fight battles. Far out of his depth and unprepared for the machinations of the fight ahead, the orc finds himself blundering through courtly proceedings in the only way his species knows: with brutish instinct. Trouble is, those impulses also involve a growing attraction to the Queen herself. Despite her ridicule, he wishes to claim her for himself.
When the gentle Lady Visella is mortally wounded, collateral damage in the undertow of a much deadlier plot, Sethraun is thrust into a battle that he understands much more clearly. Presented with a letter that threatens to unravel all of his secrets and expose him to the Queen, he embarks on a journey of discovery that requires him to rely on every single one of his skills and ingenuity to uncover the deadly goings-on in the Queen's court before further tragedy strikes -- all while balancing his growing need to protect and claim the woman he loves.
