I could easily make a thousand excuses and they would all be true at least to some extent. I <i><b>have</b></i> been busy. I <i><b>have</b></i> had a lot of other things to focus on. I <b><i>have</i></b> even started a new fitness regiment that I am loving. Oh... and let's not forget, I wrote another book. And started three others. However, the truth is... I just plain suck. At blogging! I mean, I suck at blogging! I'm fairly good at other things! ;-)</span><br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;">So... I am here today to simply apologize and tell you all I will try to do better. Though, honestly, your best bet is to follow me on Facebook. I'm slightly better at that! </span><br />
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b4a7d6;">Love ya, </span><br />

to those words, and the excitement in the voice saying them, with enthusiasm
and excitement of your own. That is the only logical explanation for this
co-authoring project. In all seriousness, I had spoken to the man precisely one
time... for approximately fifteen to twenty minutes. The next morning, I have
an email saying 'I have a great idea... call me'. So, what does it say about me
that I did call him? </span></b></span></div>

incredibly creative, highly driven, absurdly focused... Okay, let's be real.
He's an insane, sarcastic, ex-marine task master. He doesn't sleep, unless it's
to dream up a new story and call some unsuspecting author and drag her in on it
before she even has a chance to comprehend what she's just agreed to.</span></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Conveniently, it seems to be a perfect fit for me! I
was raised by an ex-marine drill sergeant (Yes, I am aware that is something of
a misnomer as there really are no <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ex</i>-marines...once
a marine always a marine), I am sarcastic in my own right and for the most part
I can keep up with his insanity, or rather his drive. This works rather well as
it means he cannot push me around when it comes to our books. We seem to be a
good fit in many other ways as well, bringing out the best in each other.
Whereas I focus mainly on characters, Jeremy is always focused on the story, on
the details. The man's mind can create a tale so complex it makes your head
spin. Since he can also keep up with my sarcasm, and doesn't mind my occasional
outbursts (I'd like to think there is a medical reason, but alas there is not),
we seem to be a match made in writer's heaven. </span></b></span></div>

experience, due in no small part to my partner in crime. We have had some
rather strange discussions, tons of laughter, and somewhere in the middle of
chaos a book appeared. I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I've enjoyed
writing it! </span></b></span></div>

escaped me the night after I first spoke with Ted (that’s what I call her, and
yes I named her after the bear as she sometimes says less than appropriate
things).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A new story was born to me that
night in vivid detail, but it was not mine alone to write.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew it deep in my gut that Spanky (yes
I’ve called her that too) was meant to write this with me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We needed to combine our writing abilities to
write something better… No, something more… More than either of us could have
created on our own before this experience.</span></b></span></div>

writes with humor and sarcasm to match the best, and can write a sex scene that
would make your weird uncle blush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes
that one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beyond that she is witty and
intelligent and I was amazed to find another writer who can (almost) keep up
with my pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She often joked about me
putting my whip away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But seriously, she
writes erotica so we all know she likes the whip.</span></b></span></div>

My previous publisher, Sugar and Spice Press, was kind enough to release my books from contract. That being the case, I am making a few rewrites to <i>Strictly Business</i> and <i>Siochain</i>, doing lots of editing on all three, and changing up the covers. Below is the new an improved cover for <i>You Can't Go Home Again</i>! They are going to be re-released under my new publisher Writer's Edge Publishing, within a couple weeks, hopefully. VERY EXCITED about this. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">In the meantime... Take a look at the new cover.....</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">We decided on a theme! LOL</span><br />

We even posted on Facebook to get some reader votes on a couple possibilities... And the consensus is in. We were on the right track, but made some changes. Below you will see the newest cover for Book 1 of The Beyond series I am co-authoring with Jeremy Laszlo. This book is due out supposedly the end of this month, although... It may be February... Depends on how fast we edit! LOL. Anyway, this is what to look for... </span><br />

Now, while I agree with the concept, it would definitely offer insight, I am still trying to figure out... Is that <i>really</i> a good thing?

<br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">SNEAK PEEK!!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">This is a sneak peek of the cover for my co-authoring project! Book one of the planned trilogy is completely drafted. We are editing after the holidays and then we're ready to submit! I will keep you all posted with the latest news! </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">SPEAKING OF NEWS...</span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">My own work, my fourth erotic romance, is due out sometime around the end of January. I don't have an exact date, but I will keep you posted!!</span><br />
Aubrianna Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076254621578857535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541944649122632822.post-27926215346718265262012-11-25T10:46:00.002-08:002012-11-25T10:46:45.009-08:00Collaboration equals cooperation<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">So, as an only child, I was never properly taught how to share. Not that this is news to anyone who knows me. To top it off, I am a classic Type A personality, a little on the dominant side. Okay, maybe more than a little.... </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Anyway, I am currently in the beginning stages of an attempt to work with another author. An author from a different genre all together. Different, as in my polar opposite. I write contemporary erotic romance. He... YES, he... writes YA fantasy with a paranormal bent. The only place we cross paths is in the paranormal. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">After one conversation, he had some weird thought that we would make a good team. Me, in my infinite wisdom, had a good 'vibe' and thought this would be a great idea! </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">So, both of us, being the voices of practicality that we are, decided to dive right in... Literally. In a couple hours I had an introduction. An hour later he had a scene to add to it... And so it began. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Now, since we had in no way discussed where we thought this should go, we went into our, now very obviously different, directions. LOL. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Needless to say, several hours, much discussion, some random topic changes, and a little more detail later, we are at least writing the same book. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">If we can make this work, with the opposite views, the opposite sexes, and the totally different genres, it should end up being one hell of a story. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Either that, or we'll kill each other! </span><br />

I am currently taking a Government class. I hated social studies in elementary school, in high school, and I still hate it now. I will not ever be involved in a career that puts me into the middle of politics, so there is really NO purpose for me taking this course except to meet some randomly designed curriculum. Please, someone explain to me how a degree in Complementary and Alternative Health needs a prerequisite of Government??? Oh yeah, and WHY am I back in school? </span>Aubrianna Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076254621578857535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541944649122632822.post-86173644420939710502012-10-15T18:03:00.003-07:002012-10-15T18:03:45.188-07:00INTRO to my WIP - A teaser. 18 and over!!!<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

looked down at her, taking a moment to admire the view before him. Long black
hair fanned out around her head. The red satin blindfold standing in stark
contrast to her pale skin, only to be offset by the matching red of her lips.
Her mouth was slightly agape, waiting for his next kiss, his next touch. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Her
hands and feet were bound with black fur cuffs, keeping her trapped in the
spread eagle position, open to his view, ready to answer his every desire. Or
so he could answer hers. He ran a gentle caress up her side, keeping his touch
feather light. He saw the goose bumps rise all across her body, her nipples
tightening once again into little pebbles, their color as red and rosy as her
lips. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>She
wasn't too skinny. Instead her lush body was curved in all the right places, offering
softness to his hard planes. Supple, giving, her body drove him to madness. He
looked lower, seeing the moisture pooling between her thighs, a clear signal
that she was more than ready to receive him. He smiled, teasing her again with
a little brush here, a touch there. He had kept her on the brink of orgasm for
over hours, teasing her, bringing her right to the edge, then stopping. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As
he climbed up onto the bed, it shifted below her, causing her to gasp and
wiggle her hips in anticipation. But this was his show, he was in control. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Be
patient, love. I'm not quite done with you yet." </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A
little whimper escaped her lips, bringing another smile to his.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>He
leaned forward, placing a kiss on her belly, and another a little lower,
stopping to dip his tongue into her belly button. When she moaned softly, he
bit down gently on her stomach, reaching his hand up to gently squeeze her
breast. He moved further down, blowing on her mound, causing her hips to lift
off the bed, seeking his tongue. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Wanting
to startle her, and feeling his own needs beginning to get the better of him,
he pulled his mouth back, roughly thrusting one finger into her core. She cried
out, trying to twist her hips, bring him deeper. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Please,"
she begged. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

what?"</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>"Please...

groaned, twisting and writhing against the sheets. Watching her, his shaft
pulsed, releasing another drop from the already wet tip. He wasn't going to be
able to hold out much longer. He thrust his finger deeper, again and again,
feeling her wet heat contract around his hand. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Finally
unable to withstand it anymore, he sat down onto his knees, lifting her hips
and lining his cock up with her dripping entrance. He had wanted to spank her,
to see her ass red from his hand. He'd wanted to taste her again.... now it was
too late. He had to take her, hard and fast. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>He
brushed the tip of his throbbing shaft against her wet slit, sliding up and
down, brushing past her clit as she twisted against him. With one hard thrust
he pushed inside her, burying himself to the hilt. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>At
the feel of her wet heat surrounding him, he grit his teeth struggling not to
come immediately. He raised one hand, pinching her nipple between his finger
tips. She cried out, her sheath pulsing around him. As he felt her body
tightening, on the precipice of the release he'd thus far denied her, he
couldn't stop from thrusting into her. Again and again... harder, faster. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
need to fuck her until she screamed overtook him and he gripped her hips,
lifting them so he could drive into her with all his strength. When he felt her
start to milk his shaft, her head thrown back as a scream tore from her throat,
he couldn't stop his own release. He thrust once, then twice more, his seed
shooting from him in hot bursts as he threw his head back and roared out his
pleasure. </span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

eyes tore open, his hips still grinding against his cotton pajama bottoms as
hot jets streamed from his body, release bringing enough pleasure to have him
gritting his teeth. </span></span></div>

his breathing began to steady out he realized that his dreams were getting more

woke up hard as stone, but this time he had actually come, simply from a dream.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>He
rubbed his hand across his face, shoving it through his hair as he took another
deep, steadying breath. He looked over at the sleeping woman next to him. He
saw her silky blond hair, her soft pink lips with her mouth open slightly in
sleep. He wondered how she'd slept through all his noise, then just decided to
be grateful she had. He gently slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom
to clean up. </span></span></div>

he washed his face, he looked in the mirror silently willing himself to forget
those fantasies. They could never be a reality. That just wasn't in the cards
for him. <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></span></div>

his fiancée. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></span></div>

Maybe?<span style="color: #d9d2e9;">Something that I have often been asked is how I handle my husband being deployed. Essentially, regardless of the way it's worded, most wives cannot imagine a life with their spouse deployed for 6 months, 9 months, sometimes even a year or more. It is simply something beyond their comprehension. Even the wives who have dealt with smaller underway's are often shocked by the difference between 2 months and 6 months. A deployment of only a couple months is really just long enough to miss your spouse without being long enough to truly adjust to them being gone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d9d2e9;">People are often surprised by my answer... I readily tell them that it is not the deployment that is most difficult, but rather the homecoming. When they are done asking me if I hate my husband.... I explain. The first couple of weeks when he leaves are very hard, both for me and the kids. The last couple weeks while you are anticipating their return is hard. However, the months in the middle are simply... Life. In some ways it is easier on your own, at least in my experience. While I miss him, miss his company and his humor... and yes, the sex, having one less person in the house is also somewhat easier. You don't have to worry about their schedule, will they be home for dinner, are they able to pick up the kids from practice, etc. You just KNOW you're on your own. You never have to schedule an outing around their duty days. And, in all honesty there is one less temperament you have to be concerned with. Life is a little slower paced for us when daddy is gone.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d9d2e9;">Now, this is not to say we are not happy to have him home. It doesn't mean we don't love him, it doesn't mean we don't want him as part of the family, and it doesn't mean we don't miss him terribly. It just means it is easier.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d9d2e9;">The he comes home... And you get a week of the honeymoon period. The kids can do no wrong, the husband is always in a terrific mood, dinner is perfect, everything is roses...</span><br />
<span style="color: #d9d2e9;">And after a week, it all changes again. Your spouse, or at least my spouse, becomes cranky with the children since he hasn't had to deal with them for months. He feels angry and pushed aside that we have continued to live our lives while he was away. He expects everything to be as it was when he left, and that is just not possible. I get tired of having to work around another adult when I have been completely autonomous for months. The kids don't love having ANOTHER adult telling them what they can and cannot do. And, as a couple, you need to rediscover each other. So, there is another adjustment period, a time where we all have to relearn to live together, to establish new roles, to find a new balance.</span><br />
<span style="color: #d9d2e9;">All in all, while being without your husband is difficult, it has always been the homecoming that we all struggle with. I'm sure, though we may be loathe to admit it, I cannot be alone in this. </span>Aubrianna Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076254621578857535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541944649122632822.post-11202572757370035052012-10-11T16:24:00.003-07:002012-10-11T16:24:41.381-07:00Hello Military wives....<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">So, to get things started... </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">I am a Navy wife, married to a military man for thirteen years. I have done, 4 full deployments, and MANY MANY smaller underways. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Are there any NEW military wives who are either facing a deployment or in the middle of their first deployment?</span>Aubrianna Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076254621578857535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541944649122632822.post-47686513701498902542012-10-09T07:30:00.003-07:002012-10-09T07:30:32.023-07:00Deployments...<span style="color: #b4a7d6;">I am a Navy wife of thirteen years. Actually married for fifteen, but thirteen in the Navy. I have been through many deployments, underways, separations, etc. I want to chat about deployments and whether you guys think they are easier or harder than having the hubby's home, and in what ways. Join me here on Thursday from 4 to 6 pm, PST. California time... So, please make sure to adjust for your location. </span><br />

<span style="color: #d9d2e9;">When people who know me personally read one of my books, it often causes a little bit of blushing the next time I see them... when they realize that the sex scenes I've written have actually come out of my imagination... Not that I've ever been particularly shy about what I think. </span><br />
<span style="color: #d9d2e9;">The conversation often follows, that they would think writing the love scenes would be the most difficult part of a romance. Now, before I tell you what I think of that, I'd like to hear from readers as well as other authors... What makes a GOOD sex scene, and is writing one difficult?</span><br />

<span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Happy Thursday... So, as we get closer to the end of another crazy week, we have more drama in my house... nothing unusual. My son is sick, my daughter is cranky, thus I am not writing, which in turn makes ME cranky... And so goes the cycle. I must remind myself that tomorrow is another day, and in the meantime, there is always WINE!

Way to go boys! Especially in this weather. And by the way... Is summer EVER going to end this year.

so I am finally back into 'writing' mode. After a rough return to a

I mean Wednesday<span style="color: #b4a7d6;">So, this week has been weird, right from the get go. Since Monday was a holiday, Tuesday was actually Monday, and I somehow lost that entire day. So, while everyone else seems to think its Wednesday, I am still two days behind. Therefore, I am not late for anything... just horribly confused! Oh well.... eventually it will be Friday... then I get to start over!</span>Aubrianna Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076254621578857535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541944649122632822.post-87393663021594394572012-09-02T14:08:00.000-07:002012-09-02T14:08:08.757-07:00Lovin' the long weekend<h6 class="uiStreamMessage" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">

Me, I have been waiting all summer for a good thunder storm. We spent a few years in Illinois when my hubby was stationed back there, and believe it or not I grew fond of the erratic summer weather. So, as we finally have our first good storm here in sunny SoCal, I want nothing more than to curl up with some hot tea and watch the weather rage. Now, if only they would cancel football practice???? </span>Aubrianna Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076254621578857535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541944649122632822.post-6782469237647372192012-08-29T15:33:00.003-07:002012-08-29T15:33:38.142-07:00Return to Hell.... I'm sorry, School!<span style="color: #ead1dc;">So, as I sit here watching my poor daughter flip and flop on the sofa, trying in vain to fight off the fever that is plaguing her, I wonder if I am the only mother in the world that does NOT like the return to school! My kids have been back in school for two weeks. So far my son has missed two days and my daughter three. All from this wonderful virus that they brought home from the delightful petri dish that is a public school classroom. So, while many parents are glad to see the return of peace and quiet, I much prefer the noise and chaos that is summer... sleeping in, days at the pool, late nights and movies in the park. Tomorrow morning as my alarm screams 'WAKE UP', I will roll out of bed, drag myself into the kitchen, pour a cup of coffee and join my children in wishing for the return of summer. Or at least winter break!</span>Aubrianna Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18076254621578857535noreply@blogger.com0
