Now Available in Print and E-book - Flavors of Ecstasy I Anthology Featuring Extra Sensual Perception by Debra Glass




When Iris Thompson is asked to use her psychic skills to help solve a string of recent deaths, she’s not surprised when her intuition points to a serial killer, all evidence to the contrary. But she is surprised that, though there have been only three deaths, she psychically intuits four names.

Even more shocking are her erotic trances featuring the handsome fourth man, known only as Peyton. As the images intensify, Iris has precious little time to discover if her extra-sensual perceptions are leading her to a victim—or the man of her dreams.

Excerpt:


Iris gasped as she came fully back to her senses. Her heart raced in her chest as she glanced around Bill’s office. She was still in the chair and still alone.
She crossed her legs and realized her vision had been extremely realistic. Her panties were damp and she was still throbbing from a bone-melting orgasm.
Blowing out a sigh, she raked her hand through her hair. She had never experienced anything so real—in or out of a psychic trance. She’d felt as if she were actually having sex with him.
As wonderful as it was, it hadn’t told her anything about what happened to those men. She gnawed her bottom lip.
In fact, her vision had only confused her more. Whoever Peyton was, he was the kind of man who enjoyed the pleasures life had to offer. He didn’t seem to be the sort who would off himself.
The door opened and Bill blustered in, carelessly sloshing coffee as he walked. He plopped down in the chair behind his desk. “What’d you get?”
Iris cleared her throat. A hot blush crept into her cheeks. “Their names.”
“Their names are in the folder. What’d you get that’s new?”
She swallowed thickly. “I got the name of a fourth victim.” But referring to Peyton as a “victim” made her blood run cold. After the intensity of her psychic vision, she didn’t want to consider that he might already be dead.
Bill raised a bushy brown eyebrow.
“Peyton,” she said and just uttering the name caused a wave of sweltering heat to roll up her spine and settle uncomfortably in the back of her neck.
“We don’t have a vic named Peyton. Is that a first name or a last name?”
“I don’t know.” She shrugged off her sweater and then tugged at the collar of her blouse, reminding herself that not everyone could read minds. But she’d called him Peyton in the vision. “A first name.”
“You sure?”
She nodded. “Pretty sure.” Bill didn’t know what she was thinking and that was a good thing.
“Did you get anything on the killer?” he asked.
“That’s just it. I saw—in my head of course—one of them do it himself.”
Bill inhaled sharply and shook his head. “I may be about as psychic as a lump of coal but my gut tells me these guys didn’t want to kill themselves.”
“I don’t think so either.” Iris could hear herself carrying on a conversation with Bill but her thoughts were obsessing on Peyton.
“What about blackmail?” Bill asked. “What do you get on that?”
Iris was getting a “no” even as Bill asked the question. She shook her head. “It wasn’t blackmail.”
Peyton…
She couldn’t get him out of her mind and the promise of another psychic-sex-trance experience with him made her impatient to tune in again.
Tingles swept up her limbs as another thought occurred to her.
What if, the next time she opened psychically, she saw his death?

Shadowkeeper and Watchkeeper by Debra Glass Reviewed by Bitten By Books



Watchkeeper by Debra Glass receives 4.5 stars from Bitten by Books reviewer, Lacy!

"The chemistry and emotional connection between Gwen and Stede is intense and burning hot with love scenes that do much to reveal Gwen’s character and to show her growth and coming into her own. As with the first two books, Watchkeeper has first-rate description and suspense, as well as lovely use of language for Stede’s voice."

Read the entire review of Watchkeeper by Debra Glass at Bitten by Books.


Lacy awards Shadowkeeper by Debra Glass 4 stars!

"I started reading, excited to see how Amy’s story would unfold, and once I did, I had to make myself stop. The chemistry between Amy and William is emotionally intense and hot. Glass does an awesome job of capturing Amy’s sense of loss and disenchantment with being a psychic who has lost the ability to see with more than just her eyes."

Excerpt:
“We need to get you to a hospital,” he said.

“No!” she said, seizing his arm.

Reed looked down at her pale hand on his tanned arm and then back up into her eyes.

“Please don’t,” she said. “Just let me stay with you awhile.”

“Sure,” he said against his better judgment. “Sure.” He swept her into his arms and tried to warm her by rubbing her vigorously. She was probably in shock more than anything else.

He could practically feel the tension melting out of her body. Brushing his cheek against her wet hair, he breathed in the earthy scent of the river mingled with an utterly feminine perfume. Closing her eyes, she nuzzled her face against his chest and Reed held her, listening to the calming sound of Sarah McLachlan’s ethereal voice mingled with the gentle lapping of the waves against the hull of Spirit Lifter.

She shifted against him and then raised her head so that she looked up into his eyes. In the pale moonlight, he could see her eyes were a jewel shade of green.

His heart skipped a beat because he suddenly, intuitively knew she was going to ask him to kiss her.

And then she did.

“Kiss me,” she uttered, even as the fingers of her free hand entwined in his damp hair to draw his head downward.

Highlights From Southern Magic RWA

I enjoyed guest speaking at the Southern Magic Romance Writers of America Chapter yesterday. It was great to see familiar faces from my home chapter, Heart of Dixie, and to meet some new writers as well. One of my favorite authors, Kelley St. John, was there with copies of her new book, Flirting With Temptation. Check out the latest Cosmopolitan Magazine where Kelley's book was picked as the Red Hot Read!

Young adult romance author, Jennifer Echols, attended and announced a book signing for her new release, Going to Far. Check out her website for information on her book signing.
Check out Christy Reece's site. Her romantic suspense trilogy is due to release starting in April.

I was especially surprised to see Michael Garrett there. I'd taken his course at UNA when I first got serious about getting published and he steered me toward the paranormal romance section at the book store and to Romance Writers of America. If you are an aspiring author, check out his site.

Southern Magic is an awesome, supportive group for writers and I enjoyed speaking about writing love scenes at their monthly meeting. For information about the group, check out their site: Southern Magic RWA Chapter

Here are the highlights from my handout:

Erotic Romance – Blow by Blow

What is erotic romance?
In erotica, the sexual relationship must be integral to and an important element of the storyline and the character development with the sex scenes furthering the plot and affecting the growth of the characters. Erotic romance includes abundant and explicit sex and sexual tension, starting early and continuing throughout with graphic sex scenes.
The story must also meet the definition of a romance novel: the primary focus must be on the development of a romantic relationship, and there must be an emotionally satisfying committed ending for the main characters.


Every love scene has to be relevant to the story and must show character growth. Nothing is gratuitous.
Show, don’t tell.
Build tension with intimacy rather than with sex or the desire for sex.
Focus on the emotions that build the internal conflict rather than on the physical act of sex itself. Love scenes are not all about action.
Your characters’ sexual behavior can reveal a lot about their motives and personality.
Write what turns you on.
Incorporate all five senses to draw your reader into the scene.
Don’t let your sex scenes overshadow a good plot.

The Twelve Steps of Intimacy:
Eye to Body, Eye to Eye, Voice to Voice, Hand to Hand, Arm to Shoulder, Arm to Waist, Mouth to Mouth, Hand to Head, Hand to Body, Mouth to Breast, Hand to Genitals, Sexual Intercourse


While there are many books on writing erotic romance, the best research is to read what you want to write. Check out: Ellora's Cave's Free Reads
