Nocturnal Journal

Two off and one sleeping. I should be throwing a party, right? That or getting a ton of writing done. I’m catching up on emails, blogs, and all that good stuff. Poor time management? Perhaps, but a much needed break from it all.

This brings me to my point (yeah, I have one). What do you all do to unwind?

SLAVE TO SENSATION

Nalini Singh 

Berkley / September 2006



Welcome to a future where emotion is a crime and powers of the mind clash brutally against those of the heart.


Sascha Duncan is one of the Psy, a psychic race that has cut off its emotions in an effort to prevent murderous insanity. Those who feel are punished by having their brains wiped clean, their personalities and memories destroyed.


Lucas Hunter is a Changeling, a shapeshifter who craves sensation, lives for touch. When their separate worlds collide in the serial murders of Changeling women, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities…or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation. 


 Excerpt 

I bought the DVD a few weeks back because its one of those movies I absolutely love. Doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen it, I still watch it whenever it comes on TV and I can’t seem to tear myself away. Doesn’t matter that I could quote most of the lines of the film verbatim or that I know it like the back of my hand—I love it!

There are others movies that I do that too as well: Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Footloose, see a patter here?

Anyway, I was watching it again and laughing my ass off at it, remembering how it made me feel. I was ten when it came out and I vividly remember thinking it was cool to be smart. (Hey, I was ten...leave me alone.) It just struck me as funny. I really think it was one of those turning points when you switch gears and move in another direction. Sad that Hollywood molded me but hey, could have been worse.

Anyone have movies like that…ones you’ll watch again and again? Ones that maybe changed something for you?

LOVE BITES™: Pike's Peak by Mandy M. Roth (Paranormal Romance)

Preventing world domination has its perks—brawn, brains, and now ... beauty.

Sensuality: SPICY/CARNAL

http://www.newconceptspublishing.com/pikespeak.htm

Pike Kinsley is your run-of-the-mill, supernatural—fighting evil at all costs. Humans view him as a superhero. He doesn’t want fame or glory. He just wants to live his life in peace, kill bad guys and scratch a carnal itch when need be. He also wants to forget messing up the most important thing in his life—a chance to claim the woman he loves. When opportunity knocks, wearing a navy catsuit, the wolf side of him comes to an understanding with the man—they will claim the woman. The blast from the past is more than Pike bargained for and might possibly be more than he can handle…If evil doesn’t kill him, his best friend just might. After all, it’s his best friend’s sister Pike wants to conquer.

Rating: Contains graphic violence, explicit sex, and strong language.
