I'm back...hopefully. Meet the characters

2010-07-29T22:26:00.000-07:00

A nasty virus took over my computer not too long ago. For a while, I couldn't get on here, but alas, here I am. Hoping and praying another one doesn't lock me up. The process is something I truthfully never want to go through again. But who am I kidding? It'll happen sooner or later.

Well, I received some very, very good news today. The second book in the Soul Collector series, Corrupt Cravings has been accepted and has a Dec. 2010 publication date, and a print date set for May 2011. I can't wait! This series is so different than what I usually write. Both Poisonous Pleasure (1) and Corrupt Cravings(2) both are in the mid 80k page range so they're also a lot bigger than what I'm used to. My only problem is actually stopping the story. I think I could go on and on and if I want sequels, I need to cut off at some point.

So, since Poisonous Pleasure is set to release around August 18, I thought I would share some of the characters with you all. Now although I wouldn't say this is an exact match to who I have in the novels, it's pretty close. First.....

Marcella- The Soul Collector

Hair-actually long, black, loose curls, and waist length
Eyes-golden
5ft 6 in

Jason- Marcella's boyfriend (pretty dead on)

Dominic- Demon posing as a human

Ambrose- Master Vampire (ability to poison blood with his bite)

Hair is actually black and a bit longer, but other than that pretty close.

Samael- Dark Angel, Dominic's Demon Master, and a complete mystery to everyone. Claims to be Marcella's best friend from her previous life.

Hair is longer,but other than that, I seriously couldn't have found a better person to play this character. The role he's going to have will blow reader's minds! HAHA But you'll only get a small taste in book 2,Corrupt Cravings. He'll basically star in book three...Deadly Desires..About to start writing it any day now.

Gwendolyn- (One of Ambrose's lovers)

Hope you all enjoyed the pics and meeting my characters.

I'll post more in the near future. Hope you all have a great night. :)

Poisonous Pleasure-coming soon

I received an amazing review for Projected Pleasure today. 5 Dark Diva's + a Recommended Read. WOOHOO!! My throat still hurts from screaming my lungs out earlier. Here's clips from the review. I'll leave the link so you can read the whole thing. It's GREAT!!

There is a huge connection between the characters and the plotline that allows you never lose your place in the story or the interactions between the characters. I for one think this is outstanding. With the edge of your seat feeling you get as you read from cover to cover it keeps the story flowing. You can read book 1 Passions Projected and pick up the thread in book 2 Projected Pleasure as they flow together that well.

As for the villains, I can say you will be shocked and that’s all I am saying. I was totally shocked! I never saw that twist in the story happening. All I can say is that Jennifer Salaiz is amazing at what she does. Gosh, I cannot pick one book over the other because they were both Fantastic!

If you like books that keep your attention with incredible fit scenes and steamy , hot wolfie love, then pick up Projected Pleasure the sequel to Passions Projected . You will be thanking me.

Jennifer Salaiz, “THANK YOU!” for giving us Zach, Marley and Cole! You’ve created such a bond there that will withstand anything. I wish I could rate this book higher, so take your bow!
Rated 5 Delightful Divas and a Recommended Read by Deb!

Also here's another review I got for the same stories from Whipped Cream Reviews that is just as good.

I loved how Ms. Salaiz showed the slow progression of what Marley was feeling, building up to one of the best surprise revelations I’ve seen in a while. I loved the new, stronger Marley that emerged.

Zachary loves his wife, and is devoted to granting her wishes. If those wishes include Cole in their bed, he is fine with it. Zachary is the strong alpha male, distracted too often by pack business to be there when things go bad. And Cole realizes he loves Marley, and will do what it takes to stay in her life. These three are fantastic together, and I enjoyed the shared passion they had. There were several surprise twists about who was behind it all, and these kept me on the edge of my seat till the very end. I love when that happens in a story.

If you like your romance hot and ménage, with a side order of suspense, this is the one for you.

Prizes, contracts, and a lame excuse

2010-06-03T20:02:00.000-07:00

I always seem to start this blog off by...It's been awhile" Yes, I am horrible at staying focused. I keep telling myself to remember, but with as busy as I've been, it's hard to recall what I've done and what I haven't. *Shakes head* I know, I know. Hence the 'lame excuse' in the title. I think I need a to-do billboard right next to my computer. Anyway, to better news..

Siren-Bookstrand authors are having a summer hide and seek. If you're looking to win free prizes then this is the place to go. I've even offered the winner a free pdf copy of Engaging Evelyn, the first book in the Blissful Bets series. If you want more details, click the link http://loveromancesandmore.blogspot.com/2010/06/siren-bookstrand-authors-summer-hide.html

Also, I've just recently signed two new contracts with my publisher. The first is for a new series that I ABSOLUTELY adore. If you're a paranormal lover, you're going to LOVE this!! The first book, Poisonous Pleasure entails a soul collector, vampire, succubus, demon, and a dark angel...Yeah, it's going to be great!!Here's the blurb for Poisonous Pleasure the first in The Soul Collector series. I hope it sounds intruiging and enjoyable. I'd love to know what you think.

No one knows what happens to a supernatural's soul whenever immortality doesn't last, but Marcella does. After an accident that takes the lives of her family and herself, she's born into the one thing the paranormal world considers a myth or legend. She's a soul collector, covered in tattoos and hidden chants with enough power to become any mystical creature she chooses.

Mated to a demon, and paired with her human boyfriend, the threesome tries desperately to unravel the visions that plague them. When they add a master vampire into their midst, will the truth of their past life become revealed, or will he ultimately be the one Marcella sees destroying them all?

My other contract is for the third book in the Blissful Bets series, titled, Melissa's Mates. Oh, I did love writing this book. I'll post the blurb soon. All of these girls have won over my heart. I'll be starting Julies's story probably in the next two weeks and this one is definitely going to be more paranormal than contemporary. I don't want to give too much away, but oh, my poor Julie. My heart aches already knowing some of what's going to happen. Well, I'm off to bed. Sweet dreams, everyone. :)

Pre-Order today!!!

STORY EXCERPT

    “Marley, what happened to you?”
     Zachary slid his arms under her head and knees and prepared to lift her, but he didn’t even get her off the ground. Her screams echoed through the trees. His whole body froze in terror at what might be wrong with her.
     “Don’t move me!” she sobbed.
     “Honey, talk to me. Are you hurt? What’s wrong? Why are you out here in the forest?” A million thoughts were going through his mind. He was popping out questions—too many questions. The quickness of his heart rate decreased as he tried to calm himself.
     A shuddering breath left her lips while she clawed at the ground with her nails. “I was running. I saw…ghost, but it’s not Cole.”
     Another scream came from her mouth while she kicked her legs out only to curl them back into a ball.
     “A red wolf...I had to protect Demetri, but the pain.”
     “Pain?” He took a good look at her body. She was completely covered in sweat, but he didn’t smell blood. Knowing she wasn’t physically harmed, the realization dawned on him. “Shit, you’re changing already?”
     Zachary ran his hands down her body. As his fingers traced over her ribs, she screamed, causing him to flinch. A handful of wolves and men stood waiting for his commands.
     “I want every inch of these woods searched. It seems we’re not alone. We’re looking for a red wolf and an apparition that looks like a ghost. The apparition you won’t be able to touch, but bring the wolf to me.” Zachary looked at all of them, making sure they knew he meant business.
     “Marley, this is going to hurt worse than anything you’ve ever felt, but I’m going to have to lift you to carry you inside.”
     A growl actually burst past Marley’s lips. Zachary watched in horror as her green eyes began to glow brightly. Every hope he harbored, that maybe his wife had more time, vanished with her appearance. She wasn’t any more human than he. All that was left for her to do was shift, and that would be here sooner than he wanted to think about.
     “I will not be carried yet.” The sound of her voice was so much stronger than her previous state. “I think it’s going away. Just give me time.”
     Another cry passed from her throat while her nails formed into claws. The snapping sound of the bones in her fingers made Zachary wince.
     “Fuck!” Marley screamed, pushing herself to her feet. She clutched desperately to her ribcage while she began to walk toward the estate. Zachary stared at her, amazed. With her eyes glowing and her hands protruding razor sharp claws, she looked unnerving.
     Like a flash of lightening, she was gone. The quickness with which she took off made him trip over his own feet. Even he couldn’t run that fast. What in the hell was his wife turning into?

ADULT EXCERPT

     “Let me please you, just one more time.”
      Marley laughed. “Didn’t we say that last time? Seriously, I’m not myself right now, Cole. We shouldn’t do this. You need to experience this with your mate. Not with me.”
     The words tore at Cole’s heart. Dammit! He wanted her as his mate. No one else would do. Why did everything have to be so complicated?
     “One more time, Marley, and I swear I’ll really look for someone.”
     As he studied her face, he noticed her eyes narrowed at him. “All right. One more time and then you look for a mate,” she whispered.
     Cole’s lips lowered to hers, kissing her passionately. The taste that filled his mouth swamped his senses. He originally planned on taking things slow, but something inside of him broke, pulling all of his emotions to the surface.
     Their mouths grew more desperate with a need neither one of them seemed to be able to control. Marley ripped his clothes off easily beneath her fingers. Shocked, he paused, looking down at her. The vibrant green of her eyes was glowing. Something told him he should stop, but he couldn’t. He wanted her more than ever.
     Pulling at the silk of her gown, he felt it fall apart in his hand. His lips connected with her nipple, causing her to cry out. Biting down gently, he pulled it between his teeth. A moan accompanying her hand gripping into his hair only encouraged him and drove him faster.
     His fingers buried deep inside of her pussy, exploring and caressing every inch he could touch. Spasms rocked her body, throwing off waves of her scent. Floored, Cole went crazy. Every thought vanished from his mind except the smell of her essence.
* * * *
     The wild tendencies running through Marley ruled her actions. She could feel herself tightening around Cole’s fingers and heard him growl just as he buried himself between her thighs. His eyes had already been glowing when he lowered himself. The meaning of why the men’s eyes illuminated baffled her. It only seemed to happen when their emotions peaked.
     Cole’s tongue buried deep inside of her while his hands pinned her wrists from moving. Arching her back against the weightless air, Marley let him feast, basking in the bliss. The grip tightened around her wrists as Cole came up panting heavily.
     “Marley, I’m telling you, something is going on with your scent. The power.”
     Cutting him off, Marley grabbed around the back of his neck, pulling him up and crushing her lips to his. If they began speaking, their moment would be ruined. Too much new information had been discovered since she last saw him.
     The length of Cole’s cock entered her swiftly, causing her to scream into his mouth. The thrusts were just as fast. He pounded into her mercilessly, so unlike what she was used to with him. He always made it clear to her on how fragile he viewed her. Now, it was like he wasn’t even the same person, but she couldn’t help but love the way he wasn’t holding back.
     “That’s right, Cole. Show me how much you want me.”
     He groaned, pushing his lips back into hers. The taste of their blood washed over Marley’s tongue, and she knew it wasn’t hers that ignited her adrenaline. She’d already tasted Cole’s blood before, and, now, with the tease she just sampled, she wanted more.
     Grabbing his hair, she pulled his head back, exposing his neck, but it wasn’t the neck she wanted. The need to feel meat beneath her teeth ruled her. Spotting the junction between his neck and shoulder, she watched his muscles flex. Without thought, she buried her teeth into him.

Blissful Bets and a great reader review for Passion Projected

2010-04-12T18:36:00.000-07:00

I've just finished editing and reading over the third installment in the Blissful Bets series. This story is great! I had a blast writing about Melissa, the fiery redhead. There are parts where I couldn't quit lauging (which isn't good because of this horrible cough) and of course the emotional aspect.

All my girls have had something happen in thier lives that make them act the way they do. Melissa's story was harder for me to relate because although on some levels, I could feel what she must have gone through, there were times where I really had to open myself up and focus on the how exactly she would react and grow in her situation. This story really challenged me, but overall I think it turned out amazing!

I'll be doing the dreaded part of making the blurb, synopsis, and of course the chapter by chapter short brief. That is the hardest part for me. How can you sum up a chapter in three or so sentences? It is impossible for me, and I know Alison must pull out her hair when she sees that on every chapter I have twice as much as I'm supposed to.

Well, let's hope she doesn't get upset because this story is almost impossible to sum up in a few sentences. I'll make do, I always do.

On another note. I wanted to post this reader review of Passion Projected. I always find myself coming back to it, in awe. It's hard to believe that these wonderful words are about my story.

Here's the review....

The title alone, "Passion Projected," caught my interest enough to be not satisfied until reading the book. I wasn't disappointed from the beginning to the final words of the author.
Dream or reality? Marley's conundrum surfaces quickly for the reader and the fleshing of characters, Zachary, Cole , and Jordan, move at lightening speed. The more I read, the faster I read.
The author vividly captures mind's strength through startling projections of passions that rise above normal sensual interactions. She is able to do this by her masterful usage of syntax.
I was understanding the usage of mental , soulfully if you will, and physical parings that led to the passionate and exotic paranormal romance that evolved in this story. I usually do not read this genre but after reading "Passion Projected," I expect to read more of this author. Thank you Jennifer Salaiz for introducing me to your artful creative writing.

Thank you, Robert. I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. :)

My Marley.....

Dark Diva Review of Engaging Evelyn

2010-04-08T15:08:00.000-07:00

Engaging Evelyn by Jennifer Salaiz

Publisher: Siren Publishing
Genre: Erotic, Paranormal, Ménage, M/F/M

Review Copy received from Publisher

Summary: Determined to overcome her broken heart, Evelyn devises the game Bets. She’s sure that if she stays distracted by good looking men, her problems will go away. But what she doesn’t expect is the persistent, gorgeous Brandon conveniently appearing everywhere she turns.

Brandon moves into the resort style condo prepared to make Evelyn fall in love with him. The last thing he expects is the ex fiancé showing up and complicating things. On a mission to make Evelyn pay, Brandon’s not willing to let anything get in his way. Even if that means submitting to the feelings he’s truly beginning to feel for her.

Stacey’s Review: Engaging Evelyn has to be Jennifer Salaiz’s best work to date. It is the first book in the Blissful Bets series. From the concept to the engaging writing style, I was enthralled. Evelyn and her friends play their naughty game, called Bets, where they end up sleeping with strange, handsome men. We learn that Evelyn’s wild behavior is only to mask the hurt she feels within.

Jennifer Salaiz did an amazing job in showing us the depth of emotion that her characters felt. This was a fun, sexy read with hot werewolf and vampire men. The writing flowed beautifully and kept my attention from page one until the very end. Evelyn’s emotional journey touched me and I rooted for her the entire read. I highly recommend this story of good girls gone very, very bad.

Rated 5 Delightful Divas and a Recommended Read by Stacey!

2010-04-08T14:56:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to share my new cover for Projected Pleasure. It's beautiful, lol. I absolutely love it!! Jinger did an amazing job.

For all of you who have read Passion Projected, I promise, you're not going to be expecting all the action held in the sequel. It truly blew me away writing it and I can't wait to hear feedback from the readers. I'll keep everyone updated when I hear of a release date. :)

Projected Pleasure (sequel to Passion Projected)

2010-03-23T10:23:00.000-07:00

For all of you who have read Passion Projected, or are in the middle of reading, or haven't, lol.....I received the edits for the sequel, Projected Pleasure in my email today. YES! I can't tell you how excited I am to get this story out to readers. If you've read Marley and Zachary's story, you know the ending was sort of a cliffhanger..... But rest assured, the peices of this puzzle are about to come together and explode into something, you, the reader are not going to expect.

Passion Projected was more the foundation of this overall story. Projected Pleasure is just...kick ass, lol. I LOVED writing this book because I let my mind and imagination fall off the cliffs of sanity. Hey, that's pretty good. I think I like that, "cliffs of sanity." Anyway, *shakes head* sorry I tend to do that a lot. ANYWAY, lol, this story is not like what people are imagining, I'm sure. There's tons of action, and the story AS OF RIGHT NOW, is at 43K words. I intend to see if I can add a bit to that. Not sure how that will go, but it'll at least be that long, if not longer. I'm actually already in the middle of ....shhhhhh, the third story.....titled (for now) Conjured Cravings.

Squee, so excited!!! Well, I'll keep you updated when I learn something new, like....a release date or cover art!!!!!!! Jinger's going to do an amazing job. I just know it. Okay, I guess I'm off to edits. Everyone have a great day and if you've read Passion Projected, I'd love to here what you thought, or where you might think this story is going. Anything...I love hearing feedback on how things are liked or how they can be better. Take care, everyone!

THIS IS THE REAL ZACHARY. Well, the one that's on the front cover of Passion Projected, anyway. But the resemblence is eery, trust me.

God, I do love him, lol.

Cowboys vs Dukes, Earls, and so forth.....

2010-03-22T08:44:00.000-07:00

If you know me, you know my love for historical. I've stated this over and over, and trust me when I say I'm a historical junkie. I don't care if it has to do with cowboys or the most handsome rogue in all of England. Throw them my way and I promise you before the day is over with, I will have read the 600 or so page book. AND that is a proven fact. My husband can testify in a court of law on how once I start a book, I disappear from the world, as we know it. It can be 5am and I'm still not stopping until I've finished the last page.

Now my question for you is this....which do you prefer? Is the Cowboys or the English aristocracy that pulls you in? Does it really even matter? I'm sure you have to prefer one over the other. So, let it loose and confess. If you have any HOT pics....(not sure if you can post them or not) but if you can't email them to me and I will gladly post them.... BTW I DID NAB THESE PICS....SORRY :)

2010-03-16T21:54:00.000-07:00

I was going to post on something paranormal tonight, but I always seem to change my mind at the last minute and have done so again. But this post HAD to be made because unless I write out the excitement in my head, it's not going to go away.

So anyway, I'm going through my desk and I come across an old memory stick from a year and a half ago. I bought this when I first started writing. Instantly, I got excited. I popped it in and BAM, the first story I ever wrote is staring me in the face. I pull it up and start reading it noticing a ton of Purple Prose, editing mistakes out the wazoo, but....the same story I fell in love with. The Pleasure of Lies is the only Historical Erotica I have ever written, and I have every intention of fixing this novel and submitting it.

For those of you who know me, know that I'm a HUGE historical lover. Before I started writing, I was devouring a romance novel every day. And I'm not exaggerating either, ask my husband, lol. I can't tell you how many times I was ask when I was coming to bed. Usually, I didn't until the wee hours of the morning....okay more like 5 am. But still, I couldn't stop. I was addicting to the beauty of romance. Maybe it's why I write such character driven stories. The need to feel the MC's emotions and see how they grow towards one another drives me to keep creating.

And even as I end this, I think I could go on and on........maybe next time I will. :)

My newest release, the first in the Blissful Bet's Series,Engaging Evelyn, is due to release on March 22, 2010. Six more days!! I can't wait. I absolutely love the characters in this series. The overall story is about a group of girls who, after issues in their pasts, have decided for one reason or another relationships are just not for them. Instead, they have all found a game to keep excitement in their lives, Bets.

Bets, you say. Surely, you're not referring that these woman bet on men???............. LOL, yes, I am. These woman find the most gorgeous men they can, and all bets are on. But things don't go as smoothly as they all think, and Evelyn soon finds out that her feelings aren't as closed off as she had thought.

[Erotic Paranormal PolyAmour Romance] Heartbroken, Evelyn devises the game Bets. It was supposed to help, but she can’t deny the ache she still feels for her ex, Stephen. When Brandon comes into her life, Evelyn knows she has to steer clear if she wants to protect her heart. But with the game in full swing, anything’s up for grabs.

Late Valentine's Day ramblings.....

2010-02-14T19:32:00.000-08:00

Well, after neglecting my poor blog for far too long, I've decided I better post. I've been extremely busy. Since recieving the contract on my second book in the Blissful Bets Series, I've started my third. Yesterday I wrote 13k words. I've come to love this series and the characters so much, the words just flowed out. Luckily, by the end of Saving Sarah (my 2nd) I knew what direction I wanted Melissa's story to go in. Oh...and what a wonderful story it's becoming.

In other news...lol, I've sent Poisonous Pleasure out to an agent. It's the first book from the Soul Collector Series. Although I want this story to start a series, it can stand on it's own which is always a good thing.

I have to say, these characters and the story line are down right amazing to me. It's like nothing I've ever read before. How the idea came, I'm not even really sure. It started with a sentence and took off into something that blows my mind. I always said I'd never write about demons, because to tell you the truth, I'm absolutely terrified of them. Now, I don't mind reading about them, but for it to come from my own mind just scares me. Well, this story had other plans. Not only did I involve demons, I brought in every other paranormal creature imaginable. I've started the second book and WOW. Just let me say, I really hope this gets picked up because I can't wait to share these stories with the world. I REALLY REALLY think it's going to blow some people's minds.

Also, Stalk Me is doing great for Siren. I'm currently at number 17 on the bestseller's list and have 2 rating so far, both 5's!!!! I'm so glad that I can write books that people enjoy reading. And to think....this is only the beginning.

♥Happy Release Day♥ for Stalk Me!!

2010-02-10T09:33:00.000-08:00

Today is the release day for Stalk Me. I'm so excited, yet extremely nervous. I think every author feels this way, the day of their book's launch into the world. I really hope you all enjoy. Stalk Me is a book filled with emotion as it takes you for a journey, in the life of Nicole. If you decide to purchase this book, I'd love to know what you think. You can always email me at jennifer_salaiz@yahoo.com With that, I leave you with the blurb....

Things have never gone well for Nicole in the boyfriend department. But when a gorgeous one night stand introduces her to the darker side of passion, she can't help but get sucked into the addicting pleasure. Ayden is everything she never knew she needed, and she can't help but feel a connection to him immidiately.

When an accident drives him out of town, Trevor, Ayden's best friend, is left to protect her. Nicole can't help but feel something between them upon sight. Can she resist the pull she feels for him, too, or will all three of them get sucked in an obsessive triangle ending in distaster?

I can't tell you how excited I am to be posting this review. I'm now voiceless, but that's quite all right. I'll take the no voice for a review like this.

Deb's Review: Passion Projected is an excellent read! This book has so much going for it, but there is a major unanswered question at the end. Jennifer Salaiz, what are you doing to me? *g* I, for one, certainly hope this is the start of a series.
That was quite a cliffhanger! You must bring all these characters back; besides, I need to see Cole get his happy ending as well.

Marley is a dynamite lady; a couple of hard knocks did not deter her from her goal to go and get her man. She has a secret of her own only she doesn't know it yet. Zachary is one amazing male; easy on the eyes too. I enjoyed his determination to keep going until he found what he was looking for. His character is somewhat a mystery as he pops out of nowhere. Maybe if there is another book we will learn even more about Zachary.

I enjoyed the edge-of-your-seat action; it kept this book moving so it did not revolve around just sex. The secondary characters were just as good as the main characters. Once you think you have this story all laid out in your head, then there is a twist and that is what made this book a winner.

Passion Projected is a fabulous break away paranormal that is truly mouth watering! Jennifer Salaiz sets the scenes in this book perfectly. If you are tempted to go all wolfie, this is one book you need to add to your collection.

Hello my fantastic followers...Well, I've updated my site with music and a few other things. If you don't care for the song on, click the next button. There's almost 150 songs, I believe, and hope at least I put one on here that you can enjoy.The genres are definitely ranging so hopefully there's something for everyone.

I'm still awaiting the edits for Stalk Me and can't wait to get them so I can post blurbs and excerpts. This is such a great story IMHO and nothing like what you think, I'm sure. I'm so excited to finally have it so close to coming out. As for Passion Projected, I'm extremely close to reaching the qualifications for PAN membership. I can't wait.....

The last two posts cover ghosts and since I find everything paranormal so fascinating, I think I'll try and find something on fairies or something of that nature next. I'm sure there's some interesting history behind these flying beings. As soon as something catches my attention, and trust me I'll know when it's the perfect story, I'll post it. Hope everyone has a great holiday season and new year. The days are flying away faster than what I'm comfortable with, but at least I can document the time with pics, which I plan to take plenty of. I'll post some the moment I get the chance.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

How openminded are you?

2009-12-13T18:06:00.000-08:00

I've noticed some things while speaking with other people interested in the paranormal that throws me for somewhat of a loop. Now, first off everyone assumes these entities we are seeing/ hearing/ recording...whatever, are the spirits of our passed loved ones. Well, yes we all have good cause. They've pretty much admitted to it.

But let me ask you this. If you're an investigator and you go to a site where the reported claims have been of a ghost, say, named Tommy. Now, you go and ask, "Tommy is that you? or "Is there a Tommy here?" Well anyone knows it doesn't take a genius for something to think...."Tommy, well shit, I can be Tommy," yeah hello!........ okay, now freeze.....First of all, am I the only one who thinks assuming these "things" are our loved ones putting a little bit too much trust into the unknown? Sure it's comforting to think we don't truly die, but come one. I'm not jumping on the ship until something convinces me, itself. I wanna see a past loved one I know personally come to me and tell me I'm full of shit for not believing, because it was put out there for me to.

Maybe I'm completely wrong and should trust in the evidence that's already been discovered, but I have trouble with things I haven't been there to witness. These days anything can be faked or tampered with. With the new equipment coming out maybe someone will finally have some success in solving the mysteries of the apparitions, figures, shadow people, strange mists....and everything else that comes along with the paranormal field.

There is also something else that tweeks me. LOL, But then again what doesn't. First off....How can someone have an open mind about ghosts and not be able to accept that maybe thats not the only thing out there that we haven't discovered? I'll leave it at that and not go into detail. Someday....that's all I'm going to say.

Why ghosts are only seen at night.

2009-12-07T07:05:00.000-08:00

So, I'm back into searching the web for more information on paranormal. Although I do research a lot of myths, lately I've been finding myself pulled to the ghost phenomenon more and more. Tons of questions constanly plague my mind and I'm not sure if it's because I'm one of those constant thinkers or if I've grown bored, out of my mind, lol.

While exploring through different reasons as to why people see these "ghosts" at night, I came across this...

One of the few things we do know for sure is that paranormal phenomena is more likely to be experienced at night, and sure enough, there is an scientific explanation for why this may be. In short, the earth is covered by a fluctuating membrane we all know as the atmosphere, which is constantly being bombarded by a strong solar wind from the sun. During the day, this membrane is at its thinnest and densest because it is being directly hit by the solar wind. However, at night, when sheltered from the sun, it expands much farther into space and has much less resistance (see illustration below). This explains why television and radio stations come in better at night, and why you can tune into stations much farther away than is possible during the day.

Therefore, the reason we see more paranormal activity at night is because there is much less resistance to every kind of magnetic and electrical current or force, making it easier for energy-based manifestations to appear. Indeed, the best time to go on ghost hunts is widely believed to be between 9 pm and 3 am, with midnight being optimal. For these same reasons, since ancient times, total eclipses of the sun have been the source of many legends and tales of paranormal occurrences.

Well, hope you enjoyed the information. It's a very interesting reason as to why these entities are only seen at night. During my search I also found some other information. I'll be posting it soon. Happy Monday, everyone!

Passion Projected by Jennifer Salaiz
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Inc.
Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal
Length: Short Story (122 pgs)
Other: M/F, Ménage, M/F/M
Rating: 4.5 Cherries
Reviewed by Holly

Marley truly believes she's losing her mind. The dream lover who's brought her pleasure continually for the last three months finally appears in the flesh with his two gorgeous friends, and he reveals some unexpected news.

Zachary is determined to claim Marley as his mate and takes her on a lusty road trip to his compound in Virginia. But when her dreams turn sinister and manifest themselves into reality, Marley has to muster all of her strength just to survive. Will Marley submit to the pleasure Zachary and his friends are willing to give her?

Marley has never, in her thirty two years of life, been considered frivolous or flighty. Now she thinks she’s losing her mind. For the past three months, a handsome and sexy stranger has haunted her dreams. Now here he is, in the flesh, in front of her at the grocery store.

Zachary has been in Marley’s mind and dreams, and he’s come to claim her as his mate. Can Marley accept a future with Zachary, once she learns what he is? Can they get to his estate in Virginia before the traitor in their midst acts? And who is the traitor who wants to take Marley for his own: is it Jordan or Cole, one of the two companions Zachary traveled with?

Jennifer Salaiz has found a new and different twist to the wolf finding his mate story.

I loved Marley, insecurities and all. I loved how Zachary was able to track Marley down in Texas, in spite of forgetting to actually ask her in their nightly visits where she was. I liked that these characters aren’t the conventional twenty-something’s, but are a little more mature. Marley is a business woman and is determined to stand up for herself. At first, Zachary comes off as a bit too domineering, but then as he spends time with Marley, he relaxes and becomes more likable. I enjoyed the action in this one, and the character development was wonderful.

If you like your shifters hot and sexy and your action fast and deadly, this is a great one for you.

Ghosts

2009-11-22T15:53:00.000-08:00

I've decided to do this post today on ghosts. Yes, some of you believe, while others do not. I, myself, believe. Having lived in a house plagued by weird events and shadow looking figures, I couldn't help but face what was happening.

My children were the first to admit to me of seeing the shadowy figures. At first, I couldn't help but be a bit skeptical. I wanted to believe them, but with them witnessing this event on TV, you can imagine my pause in believing it right off the bat. It wasn't until a month or so after they mentioned this that I witnessed a dark figure blur down the hall as I was approaching it. I felt no fear, at first. After, of course. the intitial shock of accessing whether or not I truly just saw what I thought I saw made the fear come.

When something like this happens it shakes your world. Your mind goes through many stages of "what ifs" and "what can it be". For two years my family and even some friends witnessed this phenomenon. Maybe that's why I write paranormal. I'm really not sure. Around a year ago ( towards the end of us living in the house) was when I began to write. I started off writing historical romance since I pretty much would devour a novel a day, but when my husband told me of a dream he had, everything changed.

When you're husband dreams a man is floating above you while you sleep, well, you can't help but link it to "ghosts". I, for one, didn't want to so I did research and found something I could channel the fear I had inside me to. It's the one thing that made me start my own search for things that most people never really know or learn about. It's also what brought around the story of Passion Projected.

Maybe it was my own type of therapy, dealing with the events happening at the time. I'll never really know, I guess. All I do know is that shortly after the dream, we bought a house and moved out. Nothing has happened since. But after experiencing something like that, I can't help but ask myself what other things are out there that we're not aware of. And why do these spirits or entities exists? Hundreds, maybe thousands of paranormal groups are out there trying to figure out the answers. Maybe someday we'll know for sure. If you've ever had an experience, I'd love to hear it!

Projected Pleasure

2009-11-18T08:04:00.000-08:00

I've submitted Projected Pleasure, the sequel for Passion Projected into Siren. Not sure if they'll accept it since it is quite different than the first story line, but I wrote from what came from inside, so we'll see. It is quite more action packed. It does star Marley, Zachary, and of course Cole. ***SIGHS** Oh Cole, hmmm just wait. If you read this one and wanted to know more about him in the first one, you'll get your fill, plus more.

Also, I've started a new book, as of last night. This one is something different than what I usually write too. I don't know where these stories come from, seriously. lol This is my first "True" vampire book. I say that because I do have some vampires thrown in throughout some of my books, but I have never had one staring as the main character.

Eternal Images comes from the idea of one of the short stories I wrote when I first started experimenting with writing paranormal. So far everythings coming along suprisingly well. I'm sure this will turn into an erotica since for some reason everything I write eventually does, lol but we'll see. Maybe it will become the first paranormal romance I write. Time will tell.

New Excerpt for Passion Projected.

Contains Adult Material.............

The presence of someone near consumed Marley’s thoughts. Excitement started to thrum through her body, causing her heart to beat rapidly against her chest. She opened her eyes and smiled. He was there, so real as he stared down at her. Trying to focus all of her energy, Marley concentrated on her determination as best as she could. Most importantly, she needed to find out if this dream guy actually lived in real life or if he only existed because she needed him to.

    A dark shadow floated inches over her. Those blue-green glowing eyes stared intently toward her face. Could he see her, or was he as nearly sightless in the dark as she? If it wasn’t for his eyes she would have never noticed how the dark room haloing around him was a shade lighter than the pitch black of his outline. Shadowed strands of hair coming to just above the glow caught her attention. Had he cut it? For some reason, it always felt longer when she ran her fingers through it. Marley’s eyes squinted, trying to see something more than the outline of his face, but the darkness made it impossible.

    “You’d think I would have figured out by now to leave a light on,” she whispered under her breath. A deep, husky laugh made her jump. Had he heard her? More importantly, she had heard him. Finally! Slowly, she raised her palm to cover his cheek. Rough stubble greeted her fingers first. She gasped, rubbing her hand in fascination at how real he felt. Deep down, Marley could hear herself commanding her hand on what to do. Something about having to actually tell herself to stroke his cheek confused her. This wasn’t right. How could this be possible? She knew she remained in her bed, but why did her body act so strangely?

    “Who are you?” Marley’s voice echoed through the thick silence.

    “Zachary,” he said huskily.

    The deepness of his voice sent tightness clutching Marley’s stomach. It had to be the determination that made it possible for her to communicate with him. She decided to ask the one question that she had to know, the one question that caused her to become sick with worry.

    “Are you real?” she whispered against his mouth. With the tips of her fingers she caressed his throat. He shivered above her. His large chest descended against her breasts. She moaned as her nipples tightened against him. With a gentle push forward, he separated her thighs, causing her silk nightgown to gather at her hips.

    The tip of his cock pressed against her nude, wet pussy.

    “Do I feel real to you?” Zachary asked, brushing his lips against hers.

    “Yes,” Marley said without hesitation.

Vampires...Is there any truth to the myth?

2009-11-13T07:38:00.000-08:00

TGIF!!

I made it to day 2 of blogging consistantly. WOOHOO!! Brownie point for me. Today I'd like to post something I ran across while surfing the web. Now, don't get me wrong. The things I post, I am not stating I believe...only that I find them interesting enough to catch my attention.

A Vampire in England

In 2007 in Hockerill, England, a 43-year-old man was putting out his trash late at night, and was suddenly attacked from behind by someone who tried to wrap his teeth around his neck and bite. The man wrestled with the attacker as the attacker snarled like an animal. The attacker ran away after a few minutes, and the man immediately called the police. The incident marked only one of several that affected this small community for several months on the normally quiet street known as Sandle Road. When this attack took place, the residents told reporters that one woman and several other men had also recently been attacked by the fiend who residents nicknamed "Dracula".

These sort of temporary surges in attacks in small communities, and the confusion they cause, is somewhat common. Most often, both local skeptics and the media downplay those attacks as the work of a deranged, mentally ill person "pretending" to be a vampire. Unfortunately, the people who live within those communities, and especially those who get attacked, are never so sure. These incidents often fuel public curiosity and interest in whether or not vampires really could exist today.

Archaeological Remains of a Vampire

In 2006, archaeologists in Italy had a unique vampire sighting of their own; they discovered the very real remains of a female vampire with a brick forced into her jaw. Italian forensic archaeologist Matteo Borrini reported the find to National Geographic and other news outlets when the discovery took place. Researchers were investigating a 1576 mass grave of medieval plague victims of the Venetian plague at the time of the discovery.

Communities throughout Europe in the Middle Ages who were suffering from the plague would often bury and then unbury bodies in order to bury more plague victims. Occasionally, those unburying bodies would discover a dark blood-like substance under the nose and mouths of the dead, and jagged tears in the cloth near their mouths. The history of vampires includes the fact that belief in vampires was prevalent during this time, so the people who found this believed that these vampires were waking up and eating their burial shrouds - and by doing so they were magically spreading the disease further. To prevent this, they would shove either bricks or rocks into the mouths of these corpses in the hope that doing so would stop the spread of the plague. This body, and the skull in particular, was the first case where an alleged vampire's actual body was unearthed in connection to the plague research. It provides supporting evidence for modern historical records that tell about the "vampires" of the Middle Ages.

Sooooo...what do you think? Real or not? Regardless, I think it is very interesting.

Where to begin?

2009-11-12T07:20:00.000-08:00

I have no idea where to begin when it comes to blogging. I could go on and on about my daily activities, but would anyone really want to know about that sort of stuff? I'm so boring,lol. Well, just for a quick insight I'll go into detail about why you're not missing much.

1. I sit in front of the computer all day either writing ,editing, or on one of the many sites I'm a member of, goodreads, myspace, facebook, twitter, hmmmm isn't there one more...oh yes, the ivillage board.

2. My house is never where it needs to be in appearance, which confuses the hell out of my husband since he wants to know what I do all day when I'm here alone. Don't get me wrong, on OCCASION I remember to go throw a load of clothes in the wash or get rid of the cans of Dr.Pepper lying around my small little desk.

If you're not completely bored with reading already, then I don't know?

Now let me tell you about where I'm at concerning work. Passion Projected release Oct. 30th. WOOHOO. Right now it's at the #2 spot on Siren's Bestseller List. Truthfully, I can't believe it.It feels more like a dream than anything.

Other than that, I've finished writing Projected Pleasure, the sequel to Passion Projected and I have to admit this one is so much more action packed. I love it! The sex scenes are plentiful and HOT, but its balanced very nicely with the developements so it doesn't seem too much while you're reading it.

Also, I signed a contract around the same time as Passion Projected with Siren for a book titled Stalk Me. I'm currently waiting to get the revisions back on that one and start this process all over again. (Have I mentioned how extremely excited I am about this book. OMG just wait. It was one of my favs to write)

On a further note, lol. I'm awaiting news from Siren on whether or not their going to accept the Blissful Bets Series. The first book to come out of that is titled Engaging Evelyn. Also, a great book. Of course this is all my opinion, lol. Some might not enjoy the same type scenarios or stories I like and hey, what can I say? Everyone has there own taste.

Well, now that I've updated and probably bored you out of your mind, I'll end this blog session for now. But hey, don't be surprised if I'm on here in two hours writing another one. I had fun and when I find something I like, my addictive, obsessive personalty takes over. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

I received the best news I could have ever of hoped to hear. "We will be sending you a contract." The day I read those words I nearly hit the floor. But I fought the dizzying sensation instead and screamed my head off while jumping up and down. My poor ten year old son didn't know what to think.

Of course, I called everyone I know and told them about it. Well, almost everyone. I've never kept it secret about what I write, but I never expected my dad to tell my grandma. Can you say panic attack? That's exactly what I felt whenever my grandma called and said she was going to read my book. Don't get me wrong, I love my grandma dearly, but her reading my menage is something I'm not sure I'm completely comfortable with. My face is red just thinking about it.

I'll get over it, I guess. If you can say one truly gets over something like that. So yes, I received a contract on my first book Passion Projected...and also one for my second book, Stalk Me. I'm excited to see what people think. They'll both be coming soon through Siren-Bookstrand Publishing. I'll keep everyone updated on the progress.
