<p><em>Today my special guest, Naomi Bellina, is stepping up to the plate.  Please welcome her.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">________</p>
<p>Thank you, Tracy, for having me as a guest today and letting me share my thoughts on romance writing and saving the world. Be sure to enter my contest at the end of this post.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a self-help, make life better, improve my character, motivational junkie. I diligently download lectures and talks from scores of inspirational and enthusiastic women, who tell me how to become the best person I can be.  I listen to these in my car on the way to work, to guarantee my day starts on a positive note. I want to make the world a better place, help society improve, and be a good person.</p>
<p>Part of my life&#8217;s work as a massage therapist involves helping others, but I have to wonder, how does writing romance novels fit into this holistic picture? I mean, come on, romance? And erotic romance at that. Isn&#8217;t this a frivolous way to spend one&#8217;s time, writing and reading love stories, especially since we know what&#8217;s going to happen. It&#8217;s going to end happily ever after and everyone will get what they deserve. Shouldn&#8217;t I be spending my time on more worthwhile endeavors, like raising money to cure cancer, or helping the homeless?</p>
<p>After a bit of soul searching and paying attention to a particularly wonderful speaker, whose message came at just the right time, I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that it&#8217;s okay to shine my light in this manner. Life is stressful. At the end of the day, we need to escape to a place that lets our mind relax, and we need forget about our problems for a little while. Even though we know it&#8217;s make-believe, and we know how it&#8217;s going to end, reading romance makes us feel good. Erotic romance can make us feel hot and sexy, and hot, sexy readers tend to be nice to their partners. We share the love, and then everyone sleeps better, and gets up in a good mood the next day.</p>
<p>People in a good mood drive kinder, smile more, and generally behave better than crabby people. Better behaved people will lead to less fighting, less tension, and more patience. Come to think of it, writing romance just may save the world.</p>

<h3>Excerpt</h3>
<p>A woman, a dwarf, a vow of celibacy. Enjoy this spicy excerpt from <em>Seducing the Stone</em></p>
<p>&#8220;I’m not letting you go just yet. This person you were with, I want to talk to him. He knows where to find gems, right? I need him to get me an emerald.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No, he doesn’t know where to find gems. His name is Max, and he’s just a security guard who tried to stop me from taking the sapphire.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kuron looked unconvinced. Knowing the whole story would soon be all over Adonea, Raya quickly relayed the events which led up to her being in the museum the second time.</p>
<p>&#8220;So you see, he’s nobody, and there’s no reason for you to bother him. The sapphire is gone, and you’re out of luck. Let me go, and I’ll forget we ever had this unpleasant little encounter.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The human, Max, obviously likes you. He jumped in front of you when I fired my stun gun. I think he might talk to me if I were to convince him it would be good for your health to do so.&#8221;</p>
<p>Raya recalled Max had indeed thrown himself in front of her, to protect her. A warm glow filled her at this thought, and she lowered her face to hide a smile. It had been a long time since anyone had performed such a chivalrous action for her sake.</p>
<p>&#8220;You say he’s going to be at this museum tomorrow? I’ll pay him a little visit then, after their event. He should be in a good mood and amenable to helping me out. I could even offer him payment for his services. Humans are so avaricious. I’m sure he’ll jump at the chance for some extra cash.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Why do you want an emerald? Talk about avaricious. What are you dwarves going to do with an emerald?&#8221; Raya stopped as it suddenly dawned on her.</p>
<p>&#8220;You need to refresh your emerald at the temple of Espenar, don’t you?&#8221; She saw the look of annoyance on Kuron’s face and knew she was right. &#8220;I thought your groves were looking a bit shabby lately. Well, good luck finding the right emerald. We searched for a long time to locate Starry Night. If your people weren’t so contrary, you could just ask us for assistance. We would be happy to help you acquire one.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And if your people weren’t so selfish, we would ask for your help.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are not selfish! You’re just being greedy! You have plenty of water from the streams on your side of Adonea, and we sell you as much of the water from Lake Cerulean as you want.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, and you make a tidy profit off that water. You know good and well the lake water is what keeps us young and healthy. You should share it with us free of charge.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That water is our livelihood; selling to others is how we survive. We can’t just give it away. Come on, Kuron. We’ve been over and over this for years. Our people are not going to come to an agreement, and you keeping me here sure isn’t going to solve anything. And you’re not going to find the correct emerald without doing a proper investigation. Now let me go!&#8221; Raya tugged at the ropes binding her.</p>
<p>Kuron’s expression changed as he observed her attempts to escape. His eyes turned dark, and a slow, lustful smile spread across his face. &#8220;But you and I have a bit of unfinished business, my dear. Do you remember the last time we saw each other? Years ago, at a birthday party for some ambassador. I seem to remember you spurned my affections that night, but you told me if I ever caught you, I could have you. I do believe I caught you.&#8221;</p>
<p>To her chagrin, Raya did recall making a foolish promise to Kuron, after downing quite a few glasses of elderberry wine. What had possessed her to do such a thing? Kuron was irritating and arrogant, certainly not the qualities she preferred in her lovers. It appeared, however, she was trapped. She prided herself on keeping her promises, and Kuron seemed determined to hold her to this one.</p>
<p>The dwarf came closer to Raya, unbuttoned her shirt, and began to fondle her breasts. After her two months of deprivation, Raya was embarrassingly horny. Her nipples immediately sprang to attention, and she moaned involuntarily.</p>
<p>Kuron smiled. &#8220;I see you’re just as randy as ever. Excellent! Too many fairies lose their passion when they reach a certain age.&#8221;</p>
<p>Raya bit his wandering hand, and Kuron yelped as he pulled it away.</p>
<p>&#8220;Watch the age comments. I’m still in my prime. Now untie me, get your clothes off, and let’s get to work.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kuron loosened the knots and undressed while Raya rubbed her sore wrists. Promise or not, she would get even with Kuron for this. No one kidnapped and tied her up. Well, not without her consent, anyway.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sit down, and I’ll show you who’s lost her passion,&#8221; she said as she pulled out the chair. Kuron sat, and Raya knelt in front of him. Observing his robust erection, she felt her pussy juice up and reflected on how unfair it was that dwarves had the hardest, thickest cocks of all the creatures on the planet. But then, that was one of the reasons she enjoyed dallying with them.</p>
<p>Grabbing the base of his cock, she lowered her mouth down as far as she could and sucked the shaft, then pulled back up and licked the head, her toes curling in sexual excitement. Two months! How could she have gone without this for two months?</p>

<p>I actually am bummed at not going to RT.  It&#8217;s my second year I&#8217;ve missed.  Money is the primary issue &#8211; the conference is always thousands of miles from me, and it&#8217;s an expensive sucker to attend in the first place.  But I have a ton of friends I only ever get to see at RT and the conference pretty much stopped being business about five years ago.  It&#8217;s more of a week of parties and talking.</p>
<p>And you have to understand&#8230;parties, drinking and talking isn&#8217;t something I do a whole hell of a lot of, most of the time.  In order to get books written and published, I do the day job, write, and get some necessary chores completed in between. And sleep.</p>
<p>I have a few non-writing friends &#8212; they understand my pecularities.  Most of them are readers, who devour books and movies by the cartload, and <em>get</em> the obsession.  But my <em>real</em> friends&#8230;ah, well, most of them I met, or met in the flesh, at RT or some other conference, and it is there that actually going to a party and drinking and talking starts to make sense.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m hanging out at <a href="http://trsparties.com/" target="_blank">The Romance Studio</a> over the weekend, to take off some of the sting.  TRS are giving away prizes (including one of my books), and there are dozens more authors (who also aren&#8217;t going to RT) who will be chatting as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://trsparties.com/" target="_blank">Come on over</a>.</p>

<p>Sometimes I really do think he&#8217;s worth keeping&#8230;  :)</p>
<p>I actually missed all the announcements for this, which is the staggering part.  The nominations were announced on December 15th.  The winners in each category will be announced on February 14th &#8212; Valentine&#8217;s Day &#8212; next year.</p>
<p>The Romance Studio have done away with the separate &#8220;erotic&#8221; categories this year.  Erotic and &#8220;normal&#8221; paranormals are all in together (all other categories have also been blended, too).  I think this is significant:  Erotic romance has become mainstream and normalized.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t for a moment expect to win.  <a href="http://shilohwalker.com/" target="_blank">Shiloh Walker</a> is one of the nominees, just to start.  The rest of the nominees are a who&#8217;s who of paranormal romance authors in both legacy and epublished romance.  Interestingly, I&#8217;m one of only two indie authors who made the list of nominees.  I&#8217;m tickled pink about that, and in this case, being nominated really is honour enough.</p>

<p>Berengaria not only writes MMF romances with the most delicious covers on them (look to the left) and the hardest to resist blurbs, she writes a <em>lot</em> of them.  She has had TWO books released inside two weeks.  Ugh.  Makes me feel like a complete slacker.</p>
<p>So, get cozy and comfortable with Berengaria and reap the rewards.  A lucky commentor gets to pick an ebook from Berengaria&#8217;s backlist.  I&#8217;ll keep the contest open until midnight MST Friday, December 23rd, and will announce a winner on Christmas eve.  Have fun!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Meet Berengaria:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">______________________</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Who are your favourite authors?</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030H267U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tracycooperposey&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0030H267U"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10017" title="mystic valley" src="http://tracycooperposey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/mystic-valley-180x300.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="300" /></a>Georgette Heyer introduced me to historical romance and gave me an enduring love of the Regency era. Anny Cook’s “Mystic Valley” series. I do love your Teal Ceagh ménages.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What is your favourite novel cover?</span></strong><em></em></p>
<p>The Christina Dodd cover with the woman with three hands. It’s so bad it must have sold a million books, because everyone wants to see how bad it is!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FCKOBI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tracycooperposey&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000FCKOBI"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10018" title="cita-old" src="http://tracycooperposey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/cita-old-187x300.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="300" /></a> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What’s the best Hero Moment you’ve ever seen in film?</span></strong></p>
<p>The Sherlock Holmes movie, the fight on the bridge.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What’s the best Hero Moment you’ve ever read in a book?</span></strong></p>
<p>In Heyer’s “Cotillion” when Freddy’s father says Kitty will make him an excellent wife and he’s too shocked to answer. Or possibly in “Bath Tangle” when Serena shoots Rotherham, so her betrothed can’t kill him.</p>
<p><a href="http://tracycooperposey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Tower-Bridge.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10019" title="Tower-Bridge" src="http://tracycooperposey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Tower-Bridge-e1323401228611-300x167.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="167" /></a></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What reading device do you use for reading ebooks on?  </span></strong></p>
<p>Laptop mostly. Of course I would never, ever read, when I’m supposed to be working.<em> (cough).</em></p>
<p><em> </em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What is your take on the indie author phenomenon?  What do you think the book industry will look like in five years time?</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001POX73C/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=tracycooperposey&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001POX73C"><img class="size-medium wp-image-10020 alignleft" title="Cotillion" src="http://tracycooperposey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Cotillion-195x300.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="300" /></a>I think Indy publishing is the next big thing, and readers will soon get to know whose books have been well-written, have engaging characters, have been edited properly, and are worth buying. In five years time, a lot of tiny publishers and self-publishing authors will have dropped out, and once again the field will have a group of front runners making a good profit, and then a group of others who are making enough money to continue writing and publishing.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Do you ever skip the “I love you!” scene in your novels?  Do you feel you’ve been cheated if they’re missing in other authors’ books?  </span></strong></p>
<p>I don’t need those three words, but I do need a demonstration that the hero and heroine are committed to each other.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What’s your take on eBook piracy?  What would you do about it if you were given carte blanche?</span></strong></p>
<p>Ebook piracy is theft. Someone is taking my royalties (my wages) away from me by “sharing” my book with their closest one thousand friends. I’d like to see the large “file sharing” sites closed down, and major participants punished fully under the law: “5 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000”.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If someone offered you immortality, but you could never write again&#8230;would you take the offer?</span></strong></p>
<p>Absolutely. With all that time left to me I’d figure out a way to get around the rules.<strong></strong></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-yulebeours-648675-146.html"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-10021" title="yule be ours" src="http://tracycooperposey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/yule-be-ours.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>(I like her thinking!)</em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What do you want your epitaph to read, at the end of your life?</span></strong></p>
<p>New York Times best-selling author, Berengaria Brown.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What are you currently reading?  How’s that going for you?</span></strong></p>
<p>I just finished “Yule Be Ours” by Anny Cook. It’s quite different for her, but I enjoyed it.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What will you be reading next? </span></strong></p>
<p>“Ghost Writer – Prelude” by Amarinda Jones. It’s a return to her “Janet Davies” days, a mainstream romance with no sex at all. I’m really looking forward to it.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Desiree Staccato</span></strong></p>

<p>Jaid hates the annual family Christmas party, a huge event with people she doesn’t recognize or like. She&#8217;s hot and horny and looking for action on the holidays.</p>
<p>But this year things look brighter. Her second cousin, Greg, and his partner, Steve, invite her to spend time with them. Two sexy Santas for Jaid? Oh Santa</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Excerpt.</h3>
<p style="text-align: left;">Jaid ran a finger along her lips, checking she wasn’t drooling. Cousin Greg was a fraction over six feet tall, with thick, collar-length blond hair that had her aching to run her fingers through it. She just bet it was as soft and silky as it looked. His eyes were deep blue, and any time she looked into them, her panties creamed, and she almost drowned with desire to get up close and personal with him. She wanted to lick her way across his muscular chest, feel him wrap those strong arms around her, and drive his cock up hard and high inside her.</p>
<p>Steve’s slightly rough image was the perfect foil for Greg’s fair good looks. Steve had black hair and eyes so dark they might be black too. He was wearing a tight black t-shirt that showed off the heavy muscles in his tanned arms. He made her think about doing dirty, naughty things with a bad, bad, biker boy. His features were not quite symmetrical but in a very sexy way, enhancing the bad-boy aura, and she was almost certain it was the edge of a tattoo she could see just at the sleeve of his t-shirt.<br />
Greg and Steve in her bed would be the perfect Christmas gift. Hell, even up against a wall would do!</p>
