~ A look into Wild West Hauntings ~
Blurb
* In life and the afterlife, on the Double D Ranch one belief holds true—the power of love changes lives.
* With cowboys, ghosts, modern day women, hot dreams, pre-wedding relations and a bit of sexy time travel, life promises to be one wild time on the ranch again.
* Rachel Star has met the man of her dreams … literally. Too bad he’s a ghost. When true love crosses boundaries from dreams to reality and across time, the Double D ranch is the place it happens. It takes the love of a man from the past, Dalton Dougan, to bring love full circle in the present for Rachel.
* Bristol Ashcombe, soon to be Dougan, is ready to have her baby … and so is a poltergeist. Can the love of a woman for her man and child sustain her during the most horrible of terrors? Can the love between family and friends really dispel the evil haunting them?
* Wild West Hauntings — Double D Ranch Tales (Book 2), a contemporary, paranormal, erotic romance story set in Nevada.
Excerpt
* Cold. So Cold.
* “Stop. Please. Stop,” she begged on a jagged plea. The visibility of her breath confirmed she wasn’t imagining the drop in temperature.
* Her panic stirred Damon. He stretched and then stilled. “Bristol? Baby?” There was strong alarm in his voice.
* “Ah … yes.” She sucked in a breath. “Oh … no, please stop.”
* He must have noticed the dial on the panty remote move to the high position at the same time that she whimpered the ‘stop please’ because he shot up in bed. His sleep-filled gaze was confused as he looked at Bristol.
* “Oh God. Oh God.” The orgasm ripped through her body, sending tremors through her limbs.
* Damon’s confused gaze turned to a wide-eyed stare and never once strayed from hers while the orgasm shook her body. When she’d finally gained enough breath to speak, she begged on the cusp of a yell, “Turn it off. Please.”
* Once her words had sunk in, Damon bolted off the bed, grabbed the remote and smashed it to the floor splintering the plastic into many pieces.
* Abruptly the vibrations halted.
* Finally.
* A slow, wicked chuckle seeped through the room, sending splinters of fear racing through her body. “What the hell was that? Damon?”

Excerpt
* Nope. The vibration between her legs promised she wasn’t seeing things. Was it equipment malfunction? In horror her body opened up, and she spread her legs as the vibrations hit that special spot.
* Oh … this feels good.
* Embarrassed by her reaction to the stimulation, she closed her legs only to have the vibrations massaging her pussy increase.
* No. She had to stop this. Now.
* She nudged Damon in the side. He moaned in his sleep and changed positions, moving his body away from her. With both hands, palms down she firmly placed her hands on either side of her body and tried to push to a sitting position.

Excerpt
* The coolness of the bedroom was the second odd occurrence that Bristol noticed after she’d woke unexpectedly in the room bathed by shadow and light. The first had been the baby’s unusual kicking pattern.
* What the…
* After sweeping her open palm over her stomach in the hopes of settling the little one, she glanced at Damon. As usual he was wrapped around her body with his legs across hers and his arm protectively draped around her belly bulge.
* She wasn’t shocked by the massive body heat he gave off because that was a normal occurrence for her man when he slept. No, it was the shiver that ran down her spine when her gaze rested on the panty remote on the nightstand near Damon’s head.
* The dial moved once.
* Fear followed by confusion plummeted through her body, and suddenly her mouth felt full of cotton.
* Surely her eyes played tricks on her.

Sneak Peek ~ Wild West Hauntings ( @rmsotera @evernightpub #WW #SO ) for Oct. 24

Coming soon (October 26, 2012) to Evernight Publishing! Wild West Hauntings

* That she’d been having a relationship with a man in her dreams? Very juicy dreams with someone whose facial features have been nondescript? I know his name, have heard his voice, felt his body as we’ve loved each other, but I have no clue what he looks like since his face is always in dream shadow. With a deep sigh, she slid out of the car into the dry winter air of the high desert and grabbed her luggage from the trunk. Why am I even worrying about this? He’s just a figment of my overly-stressed mind.

A short Q&A with 'Wild West Hauntings' co-author: C.R. Moss ( #MM @evernightpub @rmsotera )

Hi all! We're nearing the release date for Wild West Hauntings. Yay!
A few days ago you had a glimpse into RM Sotera's writing life, and today I wanted to share a few questions that have been asked of me in the past & my answers. :)

Q1: What is the best writing advice you ever received?
A1: Plant butt in chair and write every day. Turn off that internal editor and just write. Granted, sometimes I think this bit of advice is easier said than done—life gets in the way, the editing muse won’t shut up—but still, the advice is sound if one wants to be a successful writer.

Q2: What is a “must-have” for a writer’s bookshelf?
A2: I have a few… A good dictionary and thesaurus or links to online versions (for the basics); The Romance Writers’ Phrase Book by Jean Kent, Candace Shelton & The Millennium Phrase Book for Romance Writers by Rebecca Andrews (for creative inspiration); The Writer’s Journey by Christopher Vogler (for story structure/inspiration)

Q3: How do you cope with set-backs?
A3: My level on how well I deal — let it roll off, get angry, get down, etc. — depends upon the set-back, but I usually have a good talk with a close friend or two and/or hubby and they help me to find solutions and feel better about what’s going on.

A look at 'Wild West Hauntings' co-author: RM Sotera ( #writer #SO @rmsotera @evernightpub ) [reprise]

Today we have co-author of Wild West Weekend & Wild West Hauntings, RM Sotera, visiting. RM is a romance vixen stuck in the body of a prim and proper woman. A transplant to Las Vegas, by day she is a wife, mom, taxi driver, counselor, and psychologist to her wild and, at times, crazy friends. But when the family goes to bed and the house is dark, she seeks refuge in her office where her deepest and sometimes darkest desires take hold. And…ultimately a story is born. She’s here today offering some insight about her life as an author.

So, RM, what inspired you to become a writer?
My imagination needed a place to come alive, thus on the pages of a book I can make this happen. I’ve always kept diaries and journals, so for me writing has always been a part of my life.

When did you attempt your first story? What length was it? What's become of it?
My first book was over 100,000 words, and I attempted and finished it while attending graduate classes. I needed something else to concentrate on besides academic journals and books, and I had a story that was itching to be told. The book had been revised and edited several times, and sent to several agents. The manuscript had over 60 rejection letters to its name (and I’m damned proud of them!) before it was picked up.

How many stories did you complete before you sold your first?
Many.

What genre(s) do you write in? What drew you to write in it/them? What’s your favorite genre of all to write in?
I write paranormal romance with erotic elements. I also have a humorous streak to my work. I’ve written contemporary. I’ve always loved vampires, witches, and things that go bump in the night, which is why paranormal romance is my favorite. It totally suits me. Though, I am also working on a young adult, my favorite genre is paranormal, hands down.

What are the best and worst pieces of writing advice you ever received?
Let’s see…the best advice I received was to never give up on the dream if it’s what you really want to do, and to grow a thick skin. Also, to make time everyday to write, even if only for a short amount of time. And, don’t quit my day job hastily, wait to see what transpires. The worst piece of advice… I’m still waiting for the worst advice. To be honest, I hope it never comes.
How do you celebrate/deal with acceptance/rejection letters?
I’ve become quite the connoisseur with rejection letters. I can honestly say that at first, they devastated me. However, I started to get pissed after the 10th letter and decided that for every rejection I received I would send out 3 more query letters. Yeah…I’ve grown some thick skin and I keep moving forward. How did I celebrate when my first book was published? I jumped up and down in the privacy of my office, then had lunch with two of my favorite people. Seeing my words and name in print has been a dream come true. And I can honestly say…it keeps getting better. I love being optimistic, so I believe the best is yet to come! Every night before I go to bed, I hum the words to Don’t Stop Believing by Journey; it’s this writer’s lullaby. :)

*** Now for some fun info… ***
What’s your favorite color?
My favorite colors are red, black and grey. I like black the best even though it’s not considered a color.

What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Say what? Forget the ice cream I’ll take the jar of cherries instead. And I’d like to place them all over… :)

Are you a morning person or night owl?
I am a morning person. And sometimes a night owl. I’m up by 5 am daily, and I can usually be found at my computer typing away at some story. I do my best writing in the early, early hours of the day. My muse, Styxx, loves to wake me at 2 AM.

Sneak Peek ~ Wild West Hauntings ( @rmsotera @evernightpub #WW #SO) for Oct. 17

Coming soon (October 26, 2012) to Evernight Publishing! Wild West Hauntings

* Great. Not able to ignore it this time, Rachel bent forward and dropped her forehead onto the steering wheel. It wasn’t just any man speaking softly in the recesses of her consciousness, but Dalton, the man who’d been haunting her dreams the past few years. Now I know I really need some good sleep since he’s talking to me while I’m awake.
* What would her psychology professors, or the associates at the clinic where she’d recently been interviewed think if they knew what she’d been experiencing? That she’d been having a relationship with a man in her dreams?

~ Excerpt from Wild West Hauntings ~

* She shuffled out of the graveyard, sparing him a glance as she walked by. He didn’t move to touch her or to say a kind word. His demeanor was like the night air, arctic and biting.
* * Rachel blinked and the world around her shifted. For a brief moment her head swam with dizziness. Her vision cleared as if a thin, gauze-like veil had been lifted. She closed her eyes again, opened them and found herself on the path between the gravesite and the lodge, her bare feet irritated by the cold ground and craggy rocks.
* What the hell? I wasn’t dreaming?
* Hugging herself and rubbing her arms, she peeked over her shoulder. No one was in the cemetery. All she saw were the gnarled shadows created between the moonshine and trees—monster arms and claw-like shapes reminiscent of childhood nightmares. She bit off the urge to scream and ran toward the warmth of the building.

~ Excerpt from Wild West Hauntings ~

* A frigid touch on her shoulder startled her. She jumped to her feet and turned. “Dalton?”
* He looked strange, pale, as if he suffered from being freezing cold. “What are you doing here?”
* “I felt drawn to come here. I thought it was you pulling me. If not…” She glanced around. Shadows did a macabre dance over the gravesite. Her stomach roiled. “Then what are you doing here?”
* “You don’t belong here.” He raised a shaky arm and pointed at her. “You shouldn’t be here.”
* Why was he acting so weird? “Dalton? What’s going on? Are you all right?” She reached out and stepped toward him, but he backed away.
* “You need to go.” His arm swung and aimed toward the way she came. “You don’t know what you’ve done.”

~ Excerpt from Wild West Hauntings ~

* The unseen force compelling her to the family plot directed her to the center of the gravesite. She knelt before the dark gray headstone that was busted in half. The words on it were worn and chipped away, undecipherable. The letters on the other stones near it were just as bad. A light gray one a few feet away, no matter how she clawed and scraped at it to see the name, wouldn’t come clean. Something deep within her had her yearning to see the name, the dates, and the phrase written underneath the main information. How could she figure out who was buried in the graves if she couldn’t read the markers?

~ Excerpt from Wild West Weekend ~

* On the ground behind the heavy piece of furniture was a hefty quartz crystal paperweight. He picked it up from next to the power strip. If the plug was loose and this hit it… He shrugged and placed it back on the desk. Minutes later, everything under and behind the piece of furniture was secure and tight, tacked down. Marianne, or the so-called ghosts, wouldn’t be able to cause any more problems. At least he hoped not.

~ Excerpt from Wild West Weekend ~
* An hour later, Dakota emerged from the office, frustrated and hungry. It had taken all his restraint not to ream Marianne up one side and down the other. He had bit his tongue to keep from accusing her of sabotage. Her actions screamed she had created the issue on purpose just so she could lure him away from Cassie, spend some time with him. His theories stemmed from how she had leaned on him, asked questions in that purr of a voice of hers. She had also stroked his arm and back as she watched what he was doing. The woman and her suggestive tactics were like an annoying fly that wouldn’t quit buzzing in his ear.
* Thankfully, the fix was easy, once he found out what the problem was. All he had to do was plug the power cord of the twelve outlet surge protector back into the wall behind the desk and restart the system. When he had confronted her about it, she claimed her foot must have hit the wires under the desk just right to have the cord dislodge. That or it was their resident ghosts.

Six Sentences for Sunday ~ Wild West Weekend ( @evernightpub @rmsotera #DDRT )

Six sentences from Wild West Weekend

* But then, why should he find anything strange about what was going on around the ranch. With every new guest who came onto the property a new flavor of fun was added to the mix and anything could happen. There was one evening a family stumbled upon a couple in the midst of an intimate act in the pool, and he had to calm all the people down about their claims over indecency and voyeurism. Just over nine months later, he received a card and a picture of a baby named, Dillon, from the couple. Then there was the haunted town down the way, and his ranch’s resident ghosts. It’s a wonder anything surprised him anymore.

Coming soon (October 2012) to Evernight Publishing! Wild West Hauntings

*I’m just exhausted. She pinched her cheeks hoping the action would revive her and chase away the weird feelings and musings. The squeezes didn’t help. A strong urge for a nap, a wonderful hour or so of undisturbed sleep, took hold.
*Yes, sleep, the man’s deep voice intoned in her mind again. Come be with me.
