Coming Soon From eXcessica: Summer Heat

I am doing the happy dance again!! eXcessica just accepted my anthology of short stories "Summer Heat: Steaming Stories For A Hot Summer Afternoon".

I hope it will be released in a couple of weeks. It's in the editing stage now. I belted this one out as fast as I could because I wanted a summer release. I've long had a dream of publishing an anthology of short stories, and this one is my dream come true!

Keep an eye on my blog, my Yahoo group, and my newsletter. When "Summer Heat" is available for sale, I'll announce it.

Next summer - Summer Heat II. I have no idea what publisher yet. That's a year away. ;)

Here's my blurb:

Six sexy stories to set your pulse racing on a hot summer afternoon. A shapeshifter finds herself in a very compromised position with the man of her dreams. Two luscious women have sexy fun with popsicles to ward off the summer heat. Three women have one thing in common – the same man! They get their revenge against him in a most creative way. A man, a woman, a remote controlled vibrator, and a church picnic. Use your imagination. A missing kitty brings Kat together with her very sexy neighbor. Jenny is a tough-as-nails prosecutor by day – but a submissive wench by night. When the summer heat is at its hottest, you never know what might happen.

Here's an excerpt from the shapeshifter story, "Double Shift":

Oh, no!! Did Michelle cancel her trip? There was nowhere to hide, and she didn’t have enough time to shift back into her normal form.

She was up the creek without the proverbial paddle.

“Hey, Michelle! I’m bored! Let’s go out tonight.”

It was Brian. Damn him, he had a key to Michelle’s place! Mary’s heart pounded in her chest. What on earth was she going to do? How could she possibly get herself out of this mess?

Didn’t he know Michelle went away for a few days? Maybe she hadn’t called him yet. When she did, how would he explain the Other Michelle standing in a pile of colorful clothing on the floor?

Think fast, Mary!! There has to be a way out of this!

Brian walked into Michelle’s bedroom in time to see Mary standing with half of her body in the crimson dress and one arm sticking out of it. Mary could only imagine how ridiculous she looked.

“What’s this? Playing dress-up?”

“I’m … I’m just going through my clothes to see what I can throw out.”

“You, throw out something? That’ll never happen. I have itchy feet. Let’s go out clubbing tonight.”

“I can’t.”

“Why not? You love clubbing.”

Mary had never been clubbing in her life. It wasn’t the kind of thing she normally did. So how was this day normal in any way? She didn’t go clubbing, but Michelle did.

So, she would go clubbing. What could it hurt? After all, what would they do, have a few drinks? Listen to some really bad local bands? Couldn’t be much more than that.

Mary was in for a surprise!

She had twelve hours until she turned back into Scary Mary. She’d be back home in her own bed before that happened. What the hell. Go out clubbing. It’s not like she had anything better to do. Besides, clubbing could be fun!

More fun than she had counted on.
