Gift Wrap OptionalToday’s guest is one of my Dynamic Trio buddies, TJ Michaels. For those of you who adore feline shifters as much as I do, definitely check out some of TJ’s Ellora’s Cave releases, and she also writes some pretty amazing books featuring vampires. Just saying, in case you haven’t met TJ before.

Today TJ is being NAUGHTY and she wants us to all be naughty, too. Yep, she’s a bad, bad influence, tempting us to get in trouble with Santa. Beware! You’ve been warned…

TJ and the Dynamic Trio are currently running a Holiday Hottie competition, and TJ is offering two lucky commenters a free pass to go into the draw for the grand prize. Just leave a comment on this post to enter the draw (winner will be announced in the comments the following day).

It’s That Time Of Year

Can you believe that the Christmas holiday and New Year are just around the corner? It doesn’t FEEL like they’re around the corner but the calendar says otherwise. And even before I was a romance author, I was a romantic at heart – which means this time of year made me think of curling up in front of a fireplace with a good book, a cup of hot cocoa or Earl Grey tea, and playing in the background the classic song White Christmas sung by Bing Crosby. On a more sexy note, when I wrote those thoughts into the book Gift Wrap Optional, the reminiscing heroine has a lovely romp of sweaty…uhem…on a silky sheepskin rug in front of the fireplace. Well, it’s not quite cocoa, but it’s certainly just as hot. (I was supposed to include a cover of my latest release, EGYPTIAN VOYAGE or SERATI’S FLAME, but I think this one oozes holiday spirit, don’t you? *wink*)

If you’re celebrating the holidays during this season, I’d love to know the outrageous fantasies floating around in your head. Sure, having a lovely dinner with your family is nice…but it ain’t naughty. If you could be naughty, where would you go and what would you do?

And we promise not to tell Santa on you…

To show our appreciation for your willingness to tell all your business, we’ll pick a couple of posters to be entered for the Grand Prize in the HOLIDAY HOTTIE contest. If you don’t know what this contest is, scoot your booty over to the Dynamic Trio site and read up on it. If you win the grand prize, perhaps it’ll nudge you a step closer to your holiday fantasy *mwahahaha!*

    Morning, TJ. I see you’re already heating the place up. *g* That is an excellent cover.

    Naughty thoughts? Surely you know I don’t have any. *angelic grin* I’m looking forward to a fun-filled, relaxing day with my hubby. And that’s all I’m saying. LOL

    I’d need a naughty elf – one who has been really bad *winks* – so this mama Clause could spank him (and show him how to be naughtier).

    In my naughty fantasies, I am a svelte size 10, twenty years younger, and have two adoring men snowed in with me for a week, (one who is a chef, of course), who will cater to my every sexual need. ;0)

    Now, NJ, woman you know there’s a naughty something-or-other lurking around in your brain. Chances are that if you aren’t telling then we’ll read about it in your next book, The Seduction of Shamus O’Rourke (which I can wait for!)

    TJ *wink*

    LOL – One of those naughty elfs sounds interesting. Actually the firemen sound pretty good, too!

    Let me see – I’d need chocolate for a start. Hmmm, maybe I could steal Clive before Lauren grabbed him. I’ll need to put some more thought into this…

    Hm, naughty phantasies… Time travel into a – romantically cleaned – hut of a gorgeous German tribal leader who just happens to have a hot Roman captive, or something like that. Definitely involving two guys.
