Teaser Tuesday

The Tuesday Tease is so much fun! Without further ado, I give you the first look at Episode Three:


Rapturous Dawn ~ Episode Three : The Playwright

Cinnamon rolled her hands over the soft fuzzy skin, savoring the sweet aroma before placing the peach against her lips. She leaned back into the wooden railing, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair behind her as she peered up the mainmast to where Sebastian stood, his strong hands pulling at the heavy sails against the wind. He lifted his arm, drawing it over the sweat that dripped into his eyes, his hair slick over his head from the summer heat.

Cinnamon inhaled deeply, her teeth tearing into the delicate skin until her mouth filled with its soft innards, juices dripping down her chin from the corners of her lips. She chased the sweet juice with her tongue, sighing with contentment as its tangy flavor danced in her mouth. Sebastian grabbed the hem of his billowy white shirt, yanking it up over his head before stuffing the corner of it under his belt to keep it from blowing away. The fabric waved behind him, twisting left and right like a flag caught in a storm. His defined chest was slightly tan from the sun, sweat beading over the toned muscles of his abdomen. Thin black tattoos ringed his sinewy biceps as he pulled at the ropes. Cinn’s eyes widened and she swallowed hard.

If you enjoyed this little snippet, Episode Three is scheduled to be released this Friday, July 3rd on Amazon, just in time for some summer beach reading (or writing, in my case, because I still have so much more story to tell!)

Thanks for reading!

Friday Fix - Episode Three Cover Reveal

This week we're getting our first look at Episode Three, due out July 3rd for release.

Rapturous Dawn ~ Episode Three: The Playwright

The Rapturous Dawn is no ordinary vessel. It travels the Waves of Time, ferrying its supernatural crew across every ocean throughout history.

Cinnamon Blake has just stepped aboard its shadowy decks, agreeing to apprentice with the ship’s sole passenger - the mysterious Lady Night. Cinn is willing to accept both pleasure and pain to master the secrets of her new world and find her place within it.

Episode Three:
In an unexpected twist, Leilani asks Cinnamon for a personal favor - to take on her human Patron, a renowned playwright with an insatiable lust for life.

Benjamin Thane is nothing like what Cinnamon expects, and when tragedy strikes, Cinn learns that secrets can cause more pain than a sharpened dagger.

The Playwright is the third episode in the Rapturous Dawn Serial.

Rapturous Dawn is a work of serialized fiction - short, individual vignettes with an over-arcing storyline. You can read the installments like separate stories or follow them in order like episodes of a television series.

***Due to explicit sexual content, language and violence, this series is recommended for ages 18+***

Hope you're enjoying the serial so far. Episode Three has been a lot of fun to work on and I hope you all will love it as much as I do. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Teaser Tuesday - Hot as Hell

Here comes the Tuesday Tease - Hot as Hell edition. Yeah, we're talking about Whitaker - gorgeous, dangerous rock-star and the last living Dragon Prince. It's getting hot in here...


Rapturous Dawn ~ Episode Two : The Dragon Prince

She could feel each rise and fall of the Dragon Prince’s chest as he breathed in her scent. She placed both palms softly against the hard muscles of his abdomen, intending to push him away. Ripples of flame danced over her fingers, licking up the length of her wrists towards her elbows and Whitaker sighed.
Neither of them moved.
Cinn stared down at her hands in fascination, the flickering flames like candles twinkling in the dark.
“I can’t tell you how good it feels to have someone touch me.” He whispered, so softly she could barely hear him, “Just one spark is enough to immolate anyone who tries.” His hand cupped her cheek, sliding down to her jaw, leaving small plumes of smoke in its wake. “But not you…”

Mmmm Whitaker - this is definitely not the last we'll be seeing of him. Next week we'll be doing our first sneak peek at Episode Three: The Playwright, but if you want to see more of Whitaker (because I know I do!) leave a message in the comments.

Tuesday Tease - Double Trouble

This week I thought I'd give you a double dose of teasing, introducing you to one of my favorite characters in Rapturous Dawn - the enigmatic and gorgeous Sebastian. I've got a snippet from Episode One, AND a sneak peek at Episode Two which is scheduled for release on June 19th.


Rapturous Dawn ~ Episode One : The Great White Bear

“A message for you, Mistress.” A voice cut through the heavy wooden door from the hall - deep and masculine.
Water was still dripping rivers down Cinnamon’s skin as the door creaked open and a head of dark mahogany hair and shining silver eyes peeked through.

Cinn froze as the young man’s eyes landed on her naked body, caressing every curve of her with an inquisitive smirk on his lips. She had never had anyone unabashedly observe her like that and her hands twitched, uncertain if she should cover herself or allow him to continue his thorough scrutiny of her anatomy.

Leilani had turned her back to the door - moving towards a row of hooks on the wall. She lifted up a silk robe, a vibrant shade of emerald, that she draped over Cinn’s shoulders before turning her attention to the messenger. Cinnamon quickly pushed her arms through the sleeves and wrapped the robe around herself, shielding her skin from the intensity of his gaze. The soft fabric clung to her, barely a fluttering kiss against her damp skin.

Leilani cleared her throat, holding her hand out expectantly, and the young man with the silver eyes startled out of his trance-like stare.

You can get a copy of Episode One for 99c HERE.

Rapturous Dawn ~ Episode Two : The Dragon Prince

“Did you see the drawing of the Dragon Prince’s lover?” Cinn grumbled, turning back to the book in her lap.
Sebastian frowned, “What about her? You’re not human, Cinnamon.” He snorted out a laugh suddenly, “That won’t happen to you. Your shifter body can do and withstand things you probably can’t even imagine yet.”
Cinnamon scowled, “What would you know about my shifter body?”
“More than you, obviously.”
Cinnamon clenched her teeth and Sebastian grinned wider.

Friday Fix - Episode Two Cover Reveal

For this week's Friday Fix, let me introduce you to Episode Two!

Rapturous Dawn ~ Episode Two: The Dragon Prince

The Rapturous Dawn is no ordinary vessel. It travels the Waves of Time, ferrying its supernatural crew across every ocean throughout history.

Cinnamon Blake has just stepped aboard its shadowy decks, agreeing to apprentice with the ship’s sole passenger - the mysterious Lady Night. Cinn is willing to accept both pleasure and pain to master the secrets of her new world and find her place within it.

Episode Two:
After weeks of training aboard the Rapturous Dawn, Cinnamon is finally feeling secure with her new life. But when a request from the Dragon Prince arrives, Cinn isn’t sure she’s ready.

The 80s rock-star god, Whitaker, is about to light things on fire - and not all the smoke and flames rising off the stage are for show. Just one touch of Whitaker’s skin can set her body ablaze and Cinnamon must decide if she is willing to risk the fury of the Dragon Prince's fiery embrace.

The Dragon Prince is the second episode in the Rapturous Dawn Serial.

Rapturous Dawn is a work of serialized fiction - short, individual vignettes with an over-arcing storyline. You can read the installments like separate stories or follow them in order like episodes of a television series.

Tuesday Tease!

Since Episode One was just released last week, I figured I'd give you all another taste for those of you who haven't checked it out yet.


Rapturous Dawn ~ Episode One : The Great White Bear

“My Lady! So happy you accepted our invitation!” His dark eyes, almost black, swept over Cinn standing just behind Lady Night and his smile grew wider. “I didn’t realize you’d be bringing a companion, Mistress.”
Leilani’s bright red lips hardened into a thin line.
“My apprentice is here simply to watch and to learn. She is not to be touched under any circumstances.” Her voice held a dangerous edge Cinn had never heard before - it commanded obedience and the man’s smile shifted as he dropped into a flourishing bow before her.
“Of course, My Lady.”
Leilani turned to Cinn, her eyes sharp and firm, “Cinnamon, I’d like to introduce you to Lord Waybridge - our Patron for this evening and current leader of the Ursanthrope.”
Cinnamon dipped into her best mimicry of a curtsy, her heart beating faster each moment, making her head swim.
She had heard of Werefolk, but only in stories - the kind her orphanage mother would tell to scare her and the other children into staying in their beds at night. Even though she now knew the truth about shifters, there was still a part of her that trembled as Lord Waybridge’s dark eyes fixed to her intently, watching each clumsy movement as she righted herself. The intensity of his gaze made her squirm under its weight and Cinn stared down at the ground in front of her, knowing that if she looked up their eyes would meet and her cheeks would burn.

Next week we'll be doing our first sneak peek at Episode Two: The Dragon Prince which comes out June 19th, so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!

The Tuesday Tease

Let's kick off our very first Tuesday Tease with something to get the blood pumping:


Rapturous Dawn ~ Episode One : The Great White Bear

He pressed his lips firmly into the nape of her collarbone, kisses climbing up the soft skin towards the curve of her jaw. Cinnamon squeezed her eyes shut as the fluted glass tumbled forgotten from her hand, landing in a pile of deerskin under her feet. Her hands groped desperately into the tapestry behind her, knotting her fingers into the rough fabric to hold herself upright as a surge of pleasure spun the room before her eyes. She had gotten drunk before, but this was something else. Intoxication was in the air - it was in the pounding drums that filled her ears, and in the scent of lust and need so thick she could taste it on her tongue.

There you have it - the first sneak peek at the new series! I hope you enjoyed this little snippet and if you want to read more, Episode One will be available for your Kindle reading devices on June 5th, 2015.
