You won't have to wait much longer for my next book - Transcendence - to be available on Amazon! The official release date is February 14, 2014! Here's the summary and a little teaser to get you going...
Transcendence:
It’s said that women and men are from two different planets
when it comes to communication, but how can they overcome the obstacles of
prehistoric times when one of them simply doesn’t have the ability to
comprehend language?
Ehd’s a caveman living on his own in a harsh wilderness. He’s strong and intelligent, but completely
alone. When he finds a beautiful young woman
in his pit trap, it’s obvious to him that she is meant to be his mate. He doesn’t know where she came from, she’s
wearing some pretty odd clothing, and she makes a lot of noises with her mouth
that give him a headache. Still, he’s
determined to fulfill his purpose in life – provide for her, protect her, and
put a baby in her.
Elizabeth doesn’t know where she is or exactly how she got
there. She’s confused and distressed by
her predicament, and there’s a caveman hauling her back to his cavehome. She’s not at all interested in Ehd’s
primitive advances, and she just can’t seem to get him to listen. No matter what she tries, getting her point
across to this primitive but beautiful man is a constant – and often hilarious
– struggle.
With only each other for company, they must rely on one
another to fight the dangers of the wild and prepare for the winter
months. As they struggle to coexist,
theirs becomes a love story that transcends language and time.
Teaser:
My nose runs down the side of her neck and to her shoulder. When I
reach the thin strap of cloth there, I sniff at it, curious about its
purpose. I follow the edge of it down to her collarbone, then change my
course and run my nose across the top of her chest. When I reach the
strap on the other side, I move back to her shoulder, up her neck, and
over her chin. My lips brush hers softly before I touch the tip of her
nose with mine, and we both stare at each other.
Beh’s hand drops from my shoulder and covers my fingers at her waist.
My chest tightens as she pulls my hand away from her skin; I am afraid
she has changed her mind again, and she won’t let me touch her there.
Instead, she brings my hand up her side, around to the front, and covers
her right breast with it.
“Hoh!” I hear myself make a
strange, grunting, breathy gasp. It’s not a sound I recall making
before, but it seems to fit both my state of shock and awe. Beh smiles
as my thumb traces the top edge of the triangular shape, and the rest of
my fingers flex and grip gently.
I glance at my mate, and she
is smiling at me with humor. I smile back, unable to help myself.
Cautiously, I raise my other hand to cover her other breast – still over
the top of the funny fabric. Beh does not appear to object, and my
hands mimic each other’s movements as they explore the softness of her
skin where I can touch it and the heavy feeling of her breasts in my
hands as I lift them.
She lets me touch her in this way for
some time before she takes my face back in her hands, places her lips
against mine softly, and then pulls away from me again. For a moment, I
am confused and hurt. Did I do something wrong again? Why is she
leaving? But my concern doesn’t last long, and I watch Beh extend her
arm and take my hand in hers. We stand together, and she begins to lead
me away from the fire.
