Going Down at the Dock

Businesswoman Jasmine Kendall needs one thing to escape her high pressured life: a powerful man who will bend her and make her submit. Meeting Master Darren Finnagen can give her everything she dreamed. He’s a man who will control her every move, push her to new heightened orgasms, and bring her total happiness. His latest plans for her include a jaunt down a shipping dock where she must make three strangers come, but when she’s done, will Darren be waiting for her or was this just a test?

Alpha or Master?

I’m walking a fine line between having an alpha male and a master of bdsm. I blame it on finishing two bdsm erotic books right before settling down to write my paranormal shifter erotic. I find myself wanting to take my alpha hero to places that wouldn’t fit in with a life in Alaska as the alpha leader of the lynx clan. But I’m having a great time showing his alpha-ness in other ways.

I think what is keeping my alpha…alpha like and not master like is his lifemate is an alpha female. All the female shifters are her betas, yet the only one she submits to is the alpha hero. I love the relationship they have. I also like that the heroine grew up outside of the clan and alone, and the alpha hero has to teach her how to use her powers. Of course, he doesn’t let her get away with too much, before the snarls and claws come out.

Of course, me being who I am and enjoying writing about power struggles, dominance, and submissive…I think I have a great thing going for those that like bdsm stories and those that like their alpha males.

I’m 3/4 of the way through and hope to finish it next week if I can keep my muse going strong.

I was going to…what?

I thought the week between Christmas and New Years would be the perfect time to finish my shifter story. At least, I’d see the end in the distance if I worked hard. *sigh* With hubby home and the snow getting deeper outside, I’ve fallen off the writing wagon. I’m getting about 500 words wrote a day. Not nearly enough. I’m trying not to be too hard on myself. I do deserve time to play, right? I can’t be all about work.

So, what have I accomplished instead of writing? I cleaned our bedroom from top to bottom, painted a windchime, got caught up on laundry, cleaned the laundry room cabinets out, and read two books. That’s on top of the normal wife and mom duties. Oh, and I’ve played in the snow, rode the quad, and worked on organizing pictures into the photo albums.

What kind of things distract you from writing?

New Contract and a Boost For Ebooks

I just received a contract for Didja Know…? from Loose Id. This is my novel length erotic, paranormal, ménage story I talked so much about. I can’t wait for you all to read it! I’ll post a blurb and excerpt in the near future to tease you. =)

And, Didja know…

Amazon Kindle is the Most Gifted Item Ever on Amazon.com

This is such great news! I’m a huge believer in ebooks, besides writing them, I love how they save space, trees, and can go wherever I go. Thank you to everybody who purchased an ebook this year.

And, here I go…

I survived Christmas. Sometimes, I wonder if I won’t. We did the whole chaotic family get-together on Thursday. Christmas Day, we stayed home and enjoyed a nice intimate family celebration where we lounged around in pajamas, snacked on sinful treats, and didn’t worry about a thing. That’s my favorite part. As an adult, I always find this huge whoosh of thank-God-the holidays-are-over hits me right about now. I think it is because we anticipate this special day, we plan for weeks, we rush to buy presents, and then it is over within a matter of a day.

Today, I am on to better and bigger things. I want to have my erotic shifter story done by New Year’s Day. I’m a little over half way done. I’m probably pushing myself, but I’m going to give it my best shot.

Sexy Christmas Fun

The presents are wrapped, the kids are in bed, and the dogs are nestled down snug in their beds. The Christmas lights are twinkling, the candles are lit, and some smexy holiday tunes are playing low on the stereo. What do adults do? Specifically, what do two consenting adults who need to relieve some heavy holiday stress do?


There are a lot of fun things on hand. Ribbons, bows, tape, tissue paper, gift wrapping, Do-not-open-til-Christmas tags, fudge, candycanes, Hersey’s kisses, bells, snow, and marshmallows. The list can go on, and is only limited by your imagination. Think of the noise objects make, treats that can be licked, material that can be unwrapped, cut, and unwound.

Don’t forget a little dash of special in your eggnog, your hot chocolate, or your toddy. Get rid of the inhibitions that hold you back from celebrating the seasons in grand style. I know a lot of us women receive pretty sparklies from our lover. What better way to show it off than wearing nothing at all, except his gift.

Most of all, have fun together. The holidays are stressful on the best of days, and taking the time to enjoy each other is the perfect way to ground yourself to handle the relatives, the inpatients of kids wanting to open presents, and attending those company parties.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Feels like a mini vacation

Between battling frozen pipes, the rush of the holiday season, and real life getting in the way, I have received a little mini vacation away from writing. It’s driving me bonkers! My fingers itch to get back in the groove of continuing on my Lynx story. I’m around 23,000 words, but I’m waiting for Christmas to be over before I give it my full concentration again. I get too lost in my writing and time tends to slip away from me.

I’m almost ready for Christmas. I got most of the presents bought and wrapped. I was supposed to finish it all up tomorrow, but we have a snow storm coming through this afternoon and the weathermen say it will dump 5-8 inches on us. This is wet, slick snow, so I doubt if I’ll be able to drive down the mountain even with 4wheel drive and studded snow tires on. That’s life though!

Plus, it will help me create the perfect atmosphere for writing if the snow sticks around. My Lynx story is set in Alaska, in the winter time. I grew up in Alaska, so I can picture it all in my head. I live for snow! lol

What kind of weather are you having? Do you enjoy the cold and snow?

Making up the new slang word

I have this thing that I do that drives my family insane. I pick a word and use it to death. Did you know I started saying “seriously?” before Gray’s Anatomy made it popular? I did! Before that it was saying “exactly” anytime I agreed with someone.

Before that it was flash (No kidding?), stoned (cool), jumpin’(I’m happy), and turdhole(well, that one means what it sounds like).

Today, I started saying a new one. Well, it’s old really, but has never become popular. I aim to make it the new thing that everyone is saying. The new word for me is….

Hump

Let’s see if you can figure out what word this new word replaces. Here are a few ways I say it.

Hump you! That is humping unbelievable. What the hump? Mother Humper! Wanna go hump?

Go ahead, I know you want to use it now. It is fun to say and I do believe it will catch on quick. Just look at what happened when I started saying he’s hot. Paris still owes me for that one! =)

Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

I can’t believe it is that time of year for my annual Dear Santa letter. I’ve tried to be very good this year, because I know you like good girls. I wrote a couple fantastic books called Throwing a Kink in the Kidnapping and Going Down at the Dock. Well, I might have become a little naughty though, because there are a lot of naughty sex scenes in them. I tried really hard to write the best that I can, and I think that should count for something.

Besides, have you heard? Naughty is the new nice this year!

Before I get to the gifts I want, I’d like to ask you to bless my friend’s wishes, good health, prosperity, and love. I’ve met some wonderful people this year. The folks at Loose Id and Breathless Press have been wonderfully supportive. My editors Morgan Fayne and Raynene should get their hearts desires.

Now about my list…I’m thinking I’ve been a little too naughty this year. Maybe you could stop by the house on Christmas Eve and hand me my coal-black-thigh-high-boots yourself? I’ll have the cookies ready.

Love,

Abby Wood
