Time for a funny, new Abby-word post again

Posted on March 9, 2010 by Abby Wood

Yep, I came up with a new word. I’m having lots of fun with this one.

My hubby will often sneak up on me, wrap his arms around my waist, whisper in my ear, “What’s my little bitch doing? Huh?”

I know! Sounds terrible, right? It isn’t. Trust me. He knows if that word is used on me in a degrading way, I’d sucker punch a new vocabulary word in him real fast. (ok, I’m digging a deeper hole, I’m not violent. I have never hit my husband…hard) I just want to make it clear that this little phrase is much like saying “What’s up, baby?” Everybody with me so far understand? *nods* good!

Over the weekend, hubby saddled up, whispered “What’s my little bitch doing? Huh?” — Oh shoot! I have to explain the “Huh?” part to you too. It is a part of my husband’s speech. He thinks every question or debatable statement should be followed with a huh? to sound complete.

“Want to go for a ride? Huh?”

“You made pork chops for dinner…huh?”

“Want to kiss me? Huh?”

Ok, now that you see how endearing that can be, on with the story…

On Saturday, I was dusting off the shelves in the family room, bopping to the music and trying to ignore the fact that I was way behind on chores for the week. Hubby snuck in the room, engulfed me in his embrace, and whispered, “What’s my little bitch doing? Huh?”

I giggled in that feminine way that shows I’m loving the attention he gives me. “Dusting…” What happened next shocked me! Out of my mouth, before I even thought of what I was saying, I followed my answer with a teasing whispered, “Man bitch.” Instantly, I knew I had a new word in there.

“Mitch” = Man bitch

Oh, I have had so much fun.

“What do you want for dinner, Mitch?”

“Are the geese down at the pond, Mitch?”

“Hey Mitch, wanna meet me in the barn?” *wink*

Feel free to use the new word.

Sneak peek at Tagging Her Lynx

Posted on March 5, 2010 by Abby Wood

Blurb

Living in the bush of Alaska, Chloe Barrant wanted to take care of the animals at her wildlife refuge and ignore the times she shifted into a lynx. Even she knew that wasn’t normal. Little did she know that the day she’d turn away the poachers she’d find a male lynx coming to her rescue. What surprised her even more was when the lynx turned into a man claiming her as his life mate.

Granger, alpha of the Lynx clan, would do anything to protect the Lynx. They’d lost too many members to the hunters who preyed on them. Finding his alpha life mate gave him back dreams for the future that he’d given up on long ago.

Chloe didn’t understand how the other Lynx expected her to fill the alpha role within the clan, when around Granger she only wanted to slip into beta role and submit to him. Could she figure it all out in time to save the Lynx?

Catchin’ the craze!

Posted on March 4, 2010 by Abby Wood

I’ve joined the recent craze going around. I have now opened myself up to anonymous questions. Yes, that’s right! Have you ever had a question you’ve wanted to ask an erotic author, but were too embarrassed to ask? Want to know more about me? Curious about the sex bench? Want to know about my secret fascination with older men? What I think about while feeding the chickens? Well, here is your chance!

http://www.formspring.me/authorabbywood

Don’t forget that you can add Winning Off the Court to your wishlist today. It is being released March 19th, but you can pay for it now, and download it the 19th. This short flirt is steamy hot…and not only because it takes place in a sauna.

Alicia lost the tennis match, but she didn’t plan to go home without winning. Surprising her coworkers, Garrett and Pete, she strolled into the club’s sauna and asked for another game. This one involved playing doubles.

Hot, steamy, and sexy, the three athletes prove that you can win off the court.

My um…bottom is happy.

Posted on March 3, 2010 by Abby Wood

It’s true. There is no delicate way to say it. My old ugly desk chair had to go bye-bye. I sure wasn’t sad to see it go though. Thread bare, cushion completely flat, and the screws stuck out on the armrests and poked my arms.

Shopping for a new one was fun. I went to an office store where they had four rows of chairs to try out. From executive chairs to task chairs, they had them all. I finally found one I kept going back to and sitting in on the third row. What sealed the deal was the way the upper back pushed against the back of my shoulders and kept me sitting up straight. I love that! In my old chair, I had the habit of leaning forward without any back support…that made me get tired of sitting after awhile.

I think my bottom is going to be much happier with the new chair!

I wonder what the lady at the liquor store thinks?

Posted on March 1, 2010 by Abby Wood

It started out so innocently. I received my first book contract, hubby stopped at the liquor store to buy us a bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream with Caramel, and we celebrated. That started our tradition of buying a bottle every time I received a contract. Hubby in his excitement would announce to the lady behind the counter exactly why he was buying it. You have to understand my hubby though…he can’t remember my book titles to save his life. When others ask him about the book, he’ll say something like… “It’s a book where the lady gets kidnapped, has wild sex, and there’s a bench in it that everyone wants.”

I love him. I really do. He tries so hard.

Within the last year, between my mainstream romance books under a different pen name and my erotic books, I have now contracted thirteen books. That equals thirteen bottles of Baileys, or it will tonight after hubby stops at the liquor store. Yesterday, I received the great news that Loose Id accepted my book, Twice Her Age, for their women’s fantasy book lineup. One book a month for the 2010 year will center around what women fantasize about. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?

Back to the lady at the liquor store, she has come to know my hubby well. She now greets him by name, asks after the wife and kids, and always gets him to tell the other customers in the store about the book that I just sold. If my good luck continues, I’m afraid we might develop a reputation around this small town. I can’t imagine the stories that will circulate! lol

I also have more good news. My bdsm cowboy story with Carina Press has a new title. Consent to a Cowboy I think this is a perfect title representing the storyline, the subgenre, and making readers wonder what kind of delicious book is behind the cover.

Cowboy Up

Posted on February 27, 2010 by Abby Wood

With all the talk about cowboys lately…or, at least, me talking about cowboys and keeping my big secret about the new contract with Carina Press lately *big grin* My mind has traveled to other areas. Maybe it is the change in weather, but I’m ready to hit the rodeo.

Around here, they don’t start until June when the local fairs open up. These are small time rodeos where town favorites compete for the championship. Year after year, we attend and cheer on our favorite rider. From barrel racing, calf ropin’, bull ridin’, and team ropin’, every highlight of the rodeo draws a big crowd. Heck, if two hundred people show up, that means almost the whole town attended. We start’em young too. Our four year olds are sat atop the back of a calf and let loose within the ring. We grease up pigs and encourage our children to go catch their dinner.

Spirits run high, beer flows fast, and words take on more meaning. It is the one chance to meet with your neighbor who lives five miles away and get caught up on how their crops grew, how many head of cattle they are running, and to catch up on the local gossip. Behind the fencing, personal bets are taking place. Although, that’s not what we call it. It’s bartering. I’ll give you one goose for three laying hens if O’Reilly wins the next round! We always come home with new animals.

The rodeo also means a stressful time for the women. We find out who is the best cook, the best pie baker, and who canned the most over the summer. We brag about how many nights we stayed up listening to the lids popping on the dill pickles sitting out on the counter, and we’ve sworn our man not to utter a word about the steak we burnt last week.

I’d encourage all of you to visit a rodeo this summer, the smaller town, the better. You might stare at us who wear shitkickers with sundresses, and cuss out the riders when they avoid near-death accidents, but we are a caring group of rodeo followers. Hell, we might even buy you a beer or send you home with one of our roosters.

Except, you can’t have Roy. He’s mine.

My Secret!

Posted on February 26, 2010 by Abby Wood

Last week, I told you how I have a secret. One that made me so excited, but I was waiting for the right moment to share it. Today is the Day!

My Secret

I have been offered a contract at Carina Press for my bdsm cowboy story. I originally titled it, No Ordinary Cowboy, but they would like the titled changed. I have no problems with that! I was also informed that if things go smoothly, it will be released June 2010.

I’m so excited and look forward to joining the Carina Press family. The grand opening is planned for early summer and you can keep up on the news at the Carina Press Blog. They are just now releasing some of the covers for the first books that will be available. Just Gorgeous!

Love is in the air

Posted on February 25, 2010 by Abby Wood

Something about the approach of Spring causes the animals to go crazy around here. A few of the hens are starting to nest. A pair of the geese have become rather amorous lately. The mated wild ducks arrived, like they do every year, and soon will have babies swimming the creek with them.

Even the seagulls from the coast are pairing up and sticking close to each other.

I don’t think this is something that happens only to animals. It comes over us too. Puppy love is blooming. Husbands are getting more frisky. Women are paying more attention to men. Old people are walking hand in hand along the bike path at the park. Coworkers are flirting. It is a phenomenon as old as time.

I think that is why I am loving my job as an erotic author. I can put all these feelings down in a story and make my characters sizzle with emotions. Whether you are writing the love story or playing it out in real life. Something is in the air…go catch it!

Sweet!

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Abby Wood

I’m excited to share that Playing with a Wood Nymph was contracted with Noble Romance Publishing! I’ll keep you posted on the release date.

Also, don’t forget that I am holding a secret. Stay tuned for the big reveal…

My brainstorming session with myself went rather well this weekend. For a pantser like me, I wasn’t sure how this would work, but I am so happy with the results. An idea I’ve had swirling in the back of my mind for the last couple weeks came flying out and I was not only able to write out some quick plot outlines for one book, but for five books in a wonderful series that I think will be so exciting. It seemed like once the ideas started flowing, I knew exactly who the characters were that talked to me and the storyline behind each one of them. I also hit a nice wave of writing on my current WIP.
