Two cousins you can't resist

Between November 2008 and July 2010, I’ve sold five stories. In the past thirty days, three of them have been released. Strange time spread, huh? I thought so. Anyway, since I have three new books out, I’m sorry, but I think I just have to talk about them today.

The first two books, feature cousins. First, Cameron will dazzle you with his dancing green eyes and witty comebacks. Then his cousin Boston gets his own story to melt you with his sleek, sexy sophistication. And finally, my third story stands alone, but I personally think boss boy Braxton Farris is one man you can’t resist either!!

So here’s a little taste of Hot Commodity, Delinquent Daddy, and How to Resist Prince Charming:

Teaser “Are you okay?” he tried. “Olivia?” She didn’t even glance his way as she wiped at her eyes. “Humph,” he muttered to himself. “Not even married twenty-four hours and the wife’s already giving me the silent treatment.” And still, he got nothing. Cameron rolled his eyes. “Alrighty then,” he said, deciding it was time to put some clothes on. He pushed himself to his feet, and finally she responded with an outraged gasp. Wondering what her problem was now, he glanced over. She’d turned her attention to him. Her blue eyes had gone wide, her hand covered her mouth while she gaped at his crotch. He looked down to discover his raging erection was immodestly swaying her way. It almost surprised him he could get it up. After the workout she’d given the little guy last night, Cameron figured junior wouldn’t want to come out of hibernation again for a while. But nope, there he was, straining at the site of the blonde goddess as if seeking an introduction. Wife, this is my hard-on. Hard-on, meet the wife. Hmm, however could the two shake and properly get to know each other?

Teaser She saw the shoes first, a fancy pair of brown suede loafers. They were large, obviously belonging to a male, and partially covered by the hem of tan slacks. And they were planted on the top step of her porch. Ellie screamed and dropped her groceries. The shoes moved, taking a step down. Her gaze shot up even as she bent at the knees to retrieve her spilled goods. And that was where she froze, face tipped up, knees slightly bent, back stooped over, and hand reaching down to snatch her sacks. Her mouth fell open. “Oh,” she breathed in awe as she took in the whole majestic form. She’d hate to break it to this guy, but if he had anything nefarious in mind, he might want to rethink his life of crime, because honestly, you couldn’t really rape the willing.

Teaser Braxton thanked everyone for coming and moved along to the higher-up employees, where he’d found himself joining a discussion about retirement funds, then listening to a heated debate over what was the best liquid in which to soak false teeth. Now, knowing more about false teeth than he ever cared to, he tossed back a good portion of his glass and blew out a long breath, hoping he could make it through the rest of the night. Not used to being the most unpopular guy in the crowd and knowing everyone was badmouthing him, Braxton sighed. He was contemplating escape when he spotted her. She was beautiful. Stunning. A complete vision. And she was young...like him. Who was she? Where had she come from? What was she doing here? Braxton didn’t know and, honestly, he didn’t care. All that mattered was finding out how to make her his. He hadn’t arrived with a blonde bombshell on his arm, but he sure wouldn’t mind leaving with one. Video : Excerpt : Buy Link

Yes, You're Stuck with me on the 12th

Hello! Linda Kage here. I guess I get to bore—I mean, ENTERTAIN—you all on the twelve of every month. So, I’ll just introduce myself this first post to give you some fair warning about what you can expect from me every thirty days or so.

I love to read all sorts of romance: contemporary, suspense, historical, paranormal…you get the picture, right? If it’s a romance, I’ll devour it. But so far, I’ve only written mainstream contemporary romance.

My first book, The Stillburrow Crush, was released this February from The Wild Rose Press. It’s a contemporary Young Adult story, and strangely enough, the only YA book I’ve finished to date. The other three books I have coming out are all adult romance—not erotic but definitely on the steamy side (Oh yeah!).

The Trouble with Tomboys will be released in August from The Wild Rose Press. It’ll be available in both ebook and print. Then in November Champagne Books will release my third book, Hot Commodity. Hot Commodity will also be available in ebook and eventually print. And my fourth book, Delinquent Daddy, is currently being edited by The Wild Rose Press. They’ll probably release it sometime in 2011 (just a guess).

If you’d like to read more about any of my stories, please feel free to visit my website at www.LindaKage.com. I just love visitors!

Now, if I were a smart person, like Molly Daniels/Kenzie Michaels and Marianne Stephens/April Ash, I would’ve gotten myself a split personality and had two different pen names: one for my YA story and one for my adult work…but nope, I’ve never been accused of being a genius. So, there’s just little ol' me.

But, I digress. So onto my personal life…

I live in Kansas with my husband, daughter, and our nine cuckoo clocks (though we only run one clock at a time because, honestly who wants to wind nine cuckoo clocks every morning and evening—though technically, you don’t wind a cuckoo clock; you pull a string. Sorry, I’m not up-to-date on the correct cuckoo terminology on how to re-energize a cuckoo clock!) Anyway...

This February was a HUGE month for me because not only did my first book come out, but my first baby was born too! I know, WOW, right?

Seriously can’t believe my little Lydia Marie is already two months old. Before I know it, she’ll be walking, talking, and moving off to college. My writing time has greatly decreased since she’s been alive, but stories keep swimming around in my head, so I’m sure I’ll continue to use what spare time I can find to keep up on writing…or reading. I really miss reading as much as I used to read before she came along. But it’s still worth it. She’s been a blessing, an exhausting blessing, but a blessing nonetheless.

So, that’s the basics about me. It was nice to meet you all, and I’ll see you again next Twelfth!
