Be warned it’s a naughty story with an unusual take on m/f/m, oh and there is an HEA *grin*

Anya Sigurdson is counting down the days.

She works on an array orbiting a distant star completely alone and the isolation is seriously cramping her need for sex. She’s promised herself a wild time on a pleasure planet, but until her remaining thirteen days are up, then her own fingers will have to do…or so she thinks.

Damianos has other plans. Coming from a race of pure energy, Damianos, seeks pleasure in flesh and has an unusual talent. They can fracture into as many lovers as Anya needs. She is a joy, a rare find, and they intend to enjoy her, love her every chance they can. But to keep her they need something else, an anchor, another body for them to fix in her dimension.

And a prime candidate is on his way.

A link to the excerpt is here and this is the buy link

I’ll update the link to the Ellora’s Cave website when it’s up, but here’s the link to my author page in the meantime

Edited to add: Here’s the Ellora’s Cave link

Rand has a secret. Bitten by one of the deadly shadow-snakes, he’s changed and will go to any length to see that he remains in charge of his planet—and the flesh-fruit harvest—including using his alien abilities to convince Agent Niamh Sullivan to lie to her superiors. His plan is simple, but what he doesn’t realize is that his venom is an aphrodisiac. With it, Rand has become irresistible.

Now Niamh must deny their overwhelming mutual attraction. But as their need for each other spirals out of control, the danger becomes apparent. Rand will take her humanity, take who and what she is. Niamh has to make the choice. Turn him in. Or succumb to his potent, forbidden temptation.

Here a link to an excerpt

And the buy link is here *grin*

Flesh and Shadows is the first novella I sold to Ellora’s Cave. I *squeed* all over my other half when he was trying to set up the Wii for the hobbits, lol He had no clue why I was so excited *grin*

And the story? Well Rand is just yum, a man driven by honour…and the beast within him.

Ruthless Beauty

(c) 2009 Kim Knox

“Rachel…”

Warm breath brushed against her breast. She twisted against the mattress, pushing down the weight of the sheets and blankets. Half-lidded and still groggy from sleep, her eyes focused on the hazy gold of the surrounding light and on the naked dark haired man licking the underside of her breast.

“What the—“

He sucked her nipple into his hot mouth, his teeth grazing the hard nub and it broke her words. Sensation rioted through her flesh. He looked up and his silver-cast eyes glittered. The hot curl of lust tightened in her belly as he tugged at her nipple with strong, white teeth and she couldn’t help the escaping groan. Her stranger grinned, something wicked and her heart thudded. He was beautiful, sculpted perfection and she knew him. He was the stranger from her fantasy.
She sucked in a quick breath. A dream, she was in a dream.

“Want me to fuck you, do you Rachel Sutherland?” His strong hands gripped her hips as he knelt over her, his breath hot over her belly. She ached for him to sink lower, for his mouth, his tongue to find her pussy. “What me to take you?”

“Yes…” The word escaped on a gasp.

His tongue teased over her mons and he held her down as her hips bucked. “My first taste will be kind.” His breath brushed warm over her sensitive skin and his silver eyes fixed on her. They glittered and fire rushed through her blood at the wicked promise shining from him. His words teased her. “A single memory to soften what is to come.”

I love this book.  Seriously.  It’s sitting on the back of my couch (yes, I’m seriously running out of room for my books) no more than a foot away. I like to keep it close… *grin*

I know that there are a tonne of baby naming sites and that ones like Behind the Name are very comprehensive.  I go to these sites, sometimes, especially when I want something more in depth (usually with a name I’ve found in this book, lol ).

What this book does for me is saves my time and my sanity.  You know what the web does, it’s a black hole, adept at sucking you in.  One minute, you’re hunting for a last name for your hero and before you know it you’ve spent the past half hour laughing your arse off at Eddie Izzard on You Tube…and your hero still doesn’t have a last name.

So I flick and drop into pages with Norse names, or Russian, or stick a pin in the huge index of names at the back.  It’s become the starting point for finding out who my characters are.

Han Solo

“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”

Han Solo is the fucking nuts.  I’m sure I don’t need to tell you guys this, but it’s the god-honest truth. This badass, gunslinging space cowboy doesn’t give a shit about anything, and is so unassailably cool that I could probably get away with just posting this dude’s name and walking away.  He’s that fucking awesome.

Read the rest here

And he, Han Solo, is the inspiration for a new wip.  For the heroine, to be exact.  She’s going to be fun…and get her prince(ess) lolol

Well, he wishes.  He should have been working, but played with this, instead.
