Ty Langston's Crave


As a reporter for the Wakefield Post, Harper Erkstine has seen everything. From murders to robberies, , all of her recent stories have ended with tragic consequences so great, that she began to question if she made the right career choice for herself.
While all of her friends were dating, or going to clubs, she was winning journalism awards for covering the latest drive-by shooting or a home invasion that cost someone she knew, their lives.
She loved her job, it was rewarding to be a crime solver and get to the truth of the matter. As much as she loved her job, but the hours of a Metro beat reporter began to descend her into burn out mode.
She craved balance. A break, a welcome distraction every now and then. She forgot what it was like to have fun, to take a breath, smell the roses.
Was it wrong to want a great career and to have some kind of a personal life? She couldn’t remember the last time she had a date or danced with someone from the opposite sex.
In the middle of working on a missing person’s story that has rocked her town to the core, Harper decides as a favor to her friend and colleague to do a feature on local an up and coming rock band, called ‘Crave.’
It was a break from her routine, but Harper soon discovers that this band may have ties to the missing person, not only does she question why, but she also finds there is more to this band than just their music.


Tigris Eden's The Genesis Project


Old earth has been deemed unsuitable for life, New Earth is home. With the Uni-War over, races have joined together in order to sustain their way of life. All life was deemed worth saving, but only one race failed to submit. Humans.

Now extinct, humans are a thing of the past, or at least their way of life. The people of New Earth won’t acknowledge their hand in the human’s eradication, but they have benefited from it. Dr. Vaggo Blackmore has found the answer, he’s restored his races way of life- sustenance through farming. The one thing that will give them back their long lives….. Blood: human blood.

Biologically engineered in a lab, Genesis Blackmore has always been different. Her father has told her it’s due to her enhancements, the Federated Council sees her as a genetic mutation; and her fellow peers see her as the shiny new toy. Gen has had better days.

Everyone on New Earth has milky white skin, platinum blonde hair, and electric blue eyes. It’s the norm. Genesis’ glossy, black hair, ice blue eyes ringed by gold, would have almost made her socially acceptable- if it wasn’t for her honey, almond skin and blue, gold veins. In a sea of milky white she alone is the dark anomaly.

All Pars get their life’s nourishment through blood plasma. All Pars find their match through the tasting. Gen can do neither, forbidden by her father to do so. She can neither taste, nor be tasted. Something that’s never bothered her until now.


Riley Ross' The Getaway


The Getaway isn’t your typical romance woman meets man of her dreams, loses him and then they get their happily ever after. It’s a romance story with hints of drama and plenty of comedy. Mike and Juliet have been dating for about four months. Juliet is madly in love with him but has never shared her feelings.

Mike hasn’t said those three magical words so she doesn’t even know if they are on the same page when it comes to their relationship. Mike takes Juliet on a two week vacation, so she can escape her family drama and stresses from her job. He has romantic surprises planned and there are several unexpected surprises for them both. How well do Mike and Juliet really know each other especially when an explosive secret from his past is revealed? Will their relationship survive a visit from his family and his ex-girlfriend? Will the secret destroy them or make them stronger as a couple? His mother has made it clear to everyone that she wants Mike back with his vile ex-girlfriend?

Will his mother sabotage her son’s relationship with Juliet? Juliet does have an ally in Mike’s father. Will Juliet fight for her love? Or will she let him go without exposing his mother for her dastardly schemes? How far will his mom go to ensure she gets what she wants for her son?

The Weekend Flash 8/25


Waiting


By Ty Langston





Anxious, the magazine she read did little to peak her interest. Her only wish was to be transported into a serene world where his strong hands worked their magic. It would be a welcome respite from her daily grind of playing nursemaid, chauffeur and dog-walker. His inviting presence could not be ignored.
Her disrobement was slow, deliberate; it was enough to take her over the edge. As she lay face down on the bed, his hand began its descent. It was cool to the touch, a much needed distraction of all the craziness in her life.

My poor blog. Some updates

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is well.

Here in New York the weather has been great this entire winter.

I've been so busy talking to people on twitter (i'm @bedofroses2001) and on FB that a reader/good friend of mine reminded me that i needed to post an update.

She was right. I can't believe i haven't posted anything since Jan and apologize.

I didn't know whether or not to vlog or actually write out a blog this time around so i decided to write for now since i'm back in writing mode.

First off, a lot of you want to know when the sequel of By Sunset,will be done.
Answer? By Moonlight, which is the sequel's name has a lot of work to be on it. The story itself is done, but there a lot of things that I need to fix on it. I really want all of you to connect with these characters and understand why certain things will happen the way they do, in particular with certain characters.

All i'll say is some characters who return for the second book aren't who they seemed to be in the first book and vice versa.
You all will be introduced to some new characters in By Moonlight, in particular Caleb and Markkos, younger brother, Tristan.

To say Tristan isn't fun to write for is an understatement. Characters like this make my job and imagination go wild.

Another story i'm polishing up is Mail Order Groom. I love this story, its probably the longest piece that i've ever done and i'm fleshing it out and revising it a bit before my CP's get it.
And for people who have also asked, yes. Kelly will get her own story also. Don't have a name for it yet, but it have Kelly's typical dry wit all over it.

I still have also some shorter fantasy(Dragon Races shorts) that i think i'm going to self-pub so that all of you can be introduced to the new characters and get a feel for them.

And finally, remember that Wereshifter story i've talked about? Well, the first book is called Crave and its half done.

It was my National Writing Month project.

All i'll say about that is involves, Rock Stars, Wereshifters and Vamps...

Talk to you all soon. And please drop me a line on my fan page (which is close to 100) and on twitter..

Take care.

Shell.

Who do i'd like under my tree!!!

See, I told you i'd be back. Time doesn't stand still. I can't believe Christmas is only as a put this blog post up, a few hours away!! It is by far my all-time-favorite holiday!
Whatever, kind of holiday all of readers celebrate, I hope you enjoying it!! Okay, as I'm listening to My Grown-Up Christmas List, by Amy Grant, here is my list.

And yes, there are QUITE A FEW WWE wrestlers on this list. Writers, not only are WWE Superstars fantastic, a lot of them and Bells, Penny, Dren and Ava will attest to, there a lot that are HEAVENLY!!! (just saying)...

Enjoy all and tell me who you like.


1....JOHN HENNIGAN-aka JOHN MORRISON-AKA JOMO- He's only been gone from WWE for a few short weeks, but us JOMOSAPIENS are going thru MASSIVE withdrawal. Boo, we miss you!!! Taopon was right, we're about ready to put him on a milk carton (missing-John Hennigan)


2. JON BON JOVI- He's aging like a fine wine. He is fantastic! Seriously, JBJ is defying gravity. I hope to look THAT good at nearly 50 and rocking new fans and old!! KUDOS..(need another wife??)


3.DWYANE "THE ROCK" JOHNSON- The arms, the body, the swagger....One look at Mr. Johnson can turn any woman into the pool of hot mess.


4.RANDY ORTON -There is something him. Maybe it's the body, that tats, the voice or the piercing blue eyes. All I know, he that he heats up my Friday nights! Delish!

5. HENRY CAVILL- Although I miss seeing him grace my TV screen as Charles Brandon on The Tudors, I am beyond thrilled and counting down the moments when we see him as SUPERMAN!!!


6. JOSH BROLIN -Ruggedly Handsome, fantastic actor. Actually, from seeing his interviews from how he prepares for a character, actually has helped me as a writer. He's someone that a writer loves because is he so into the words and into the story. Amazing!!!


7. WADE BARRETT- I don't know if it's the accent, or the tats (he has a new one, but i can't find a pic of the new one) or the sneer, or the black wavy hair or hell, it's probably the whole package. But he's just one hot man!!


8. TED DIBIASE, JR- He makes being casual, look cool, hot and also being in the Marine 2 and looking great, wasn't bad either!!!

From the marine 2.

9. DREW MCINTRYE- My muse for Decadent Dreams!!! This everyone is Yuri. Dear, WWE, please place him on TV more often, will ya??


10. CHRISTIAN KANE- He can sing, fight and act. Best of all he looks damn good doing it. Everyone, go get his CD, "The House Rules." he's a great actor and the tracks keep on rocking from beginning to end!!! Also, you can check him out on Sundays on Leverage!!


11. JENSEN ACKLES-Hi, I'm Shell, and I'm officially addicted to this man's voice and i need Ackles rehab! (Among other things) Sad when you sit on your day off (this happened during my vacation and you wind up sitting in front of your TV all day watching an entire season from beginning to end on a nice day in your pj's.. To be honest, it was a good time. He and Jared Padelecki rock on Supernatual!


12. DOLPH ZIGGLER- He says he's perfection...Who are we to disagree!! LOL!


13. KIP WINGER- The man still has got some wicked pipes. Everyone check out Winger's latest CD Kharma. The band's still got it...Especially an epic 7 minute tune called "Witness" this CD is constantly on my ipod when i write, especially this song in particular


14. JOE MANGANIELLO - Yum, he's the hottest werewolf on TV....(HOWL)


15. Idris Elba- LUTHER!!!! Among other roles he's had like Stringer Bell, an appearance in American Gangster and The Losers. This man is sex on two legs. And fyi, he sings and pretty damn good.

16. GERRY BUTLER-One of the hottest Scots i've ever seen. He's another actor that can play anything and you are convinced that he is really what he protrays.


17. JASON MOMOA- KHAL DROGO!! Who could forget him in Game of Thrones (still mad about that George R Martin! LOL) and as Conan, he's wasn't too bad either...So looking forward to anything and everything he does


There were more, but i had to end this...LOL!! Merry Xmas and who you all of you want under your tree???
