There’s no doubt that the summer’s sizzling here in South Florida. It’s hot, humid, and the pool and icy Margaritas beckon. One of the only benefits of our blistering heat is the fact that I hole up as often as possible in my blissfully air-conditioned studio and write. My productivity levels are through the roof.

As of last week, I’ve finished books one and two of my new PRYMAL series, Prymal Lust and Prymal Obsession (in edits). I’m having a fabulous time writing this series.

NOTE: AS OF 08/01/14 MY INTERNET CONNECTION IS DOWN. CABLE’S BEEN CUT & WON’T BE RESTORED UNTIL LATE 08/03/14. PLEASE FORGIVE ANY DELAY IN RESPONDING TO COMMENTS. TG FOR STARBUCKS.

My prize contribution to the hop is an eCopy of Prymal Lust (winner to be chosen by Just Romance Me).

However, I’ll give away another copy of Prymal Lust to a random commenter who votes on the titles for #5 & #6 in the PRYMAL series.

I’m hoping hop (*smirk* couldn’t resist) participants can help me decide the titles for books five and six in the PRYMAL series. Which two of these titles do you like?

Prymal Fever

Prymal Pleasure

Prymal Danger

Prymal Ecstasy

Prymal Submission

Prymal Greed

Prymal Decadence

Or suggest a title of your own. If I like your title, you’ll receive a copy of Prymal Lust—no limits on this in terms of winners.

To give you an idea of what I’m looking for here are the blurbs for books one through four in the PRYMAL series:

Prymal Lust – Release August 7, 2014Prymal_Lust-Jianne_Carlo-100x160
Tania, a Wylfen aristocrat, hooks up with a stranger right before her twin’s graduation from military college. Not hours later, the bottom drops out of her world when she’s introduced to Axe, her twin’s new SEAL instructor. Then she discovers he’s a Feral Wolf, the arch enemy of her people. Wylfen laws prohibit her from mating with a half-breed. If anyone finds out she’s mated with Axe, exile is the least she has to fear…
Prymal Obsession – Release October 2, 2014
Brut Jurango’s pack is one of butt-ugly misfits, and he’s devoted to each and every member. When his mate and his entire pack’s slaughtered, he lives for one sole purpose–revenge. Brut’s a mixed breed, wolf, panther, and human. He had a mate, and shifters are supposed to have only one in a lifetime. So why can’t he resist Sidonie Walker’s call? Or is this just one more lie proliferated by the Wylfen?
Prymal Passion – Release December 4, 2014
Bandit Jackson’s a Rogue wolf who lives for the moment. He makes out like a bandit in all walks of life. No commitments, no strings, tons of women, wine, and eclectic gourmet food. The last thing he needs is a battered wife on the run with a toddler.
Prymal Hunger – Release February 5, 2015
The Kydd, aka Kydd Kolton, leads a charmed life. A Rogue wolf and retired UFC fighter, he’s parlayed his toned bod and surfer good looks into an acting career. Rich, famous, handsomer than sin, the Kydd’s never had to lift more than a pinky or a perfect brow to snare a woman. Until he meets Helle, a human female, whose sole purpose in life is to torture him.

Have fun on the hop and have a great weekend!

Cheers,

Jianne

P.S. Here’s the book trailer:

Prymal Lust – More One Liners!

Prymal_Lust-Jianne_Carlo-100x160Her family would exile Tania if Axe even grazed her with a fingertip.

Tania to Axe: “Why don’t I join you in that shower, sailor-boy? There are certain parts of you I’m dying to handle.”

Really self-explanatory: “Don’t need any foreplay,” Tania muttered. Axe chuckled. “Tough. I do.”

“Beast,” Tania muttered and nipped Axe’s nipple. If only she knew.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Cheers,

Jianne

TGIF – No Kidding ?#$^*!

Emoticon What a week I’ve had.

First, there were the normal April end-of-tax-month work emergencies.

I finally resolved all of those late Saturday and decided to treat myself to a mani/pedi. The dh treated me to dinner, and I wore a new earring necklace combination. We went out to a fabulous Italian restaurant and had a great time.

The next morning the dh notices a rash around my neck. Smiley  Two hours later, I start itching like a flea-infested gorilla.

Wonderful. A new allergy. Fine. I put on my big-girl panties and take a strong antihistamine.

On the following evening, we come home to find that our kitchen fridge/freezer’s not working and the defrosted water’s everywhere. We eat a ton of seafood. You gotta imagine the stench. Now you have to understand that our garage fridge had stopped working in January and we decided, since it’s just the two of us, we didn’t need it anymore. We call our friendly repair man and, two days and numerous coolers and packs of ice later, the kitchen fridge is working again.

Right on that day the dh leaves to visit his buddy for his birthday.

Everything’s hunky dory. I’m even looking forward to a couple of days of intense concentration on my current WIP,  Torch the Wind.

Dumb me. Smiley

I drop the dh to the airport. The traffic is ridiculously slow – it’s rush hour. The dh informs me that I’ll be going against traffic on the way back, so it should be easy.

HA!

Not only does a tractor trailer overturn on the highway, and it takes me two hours to get to my exit, but there’s an accident at the gated entrance to my community.

*Banging head on desk* Three hours later, I finally make it back home.

That same afternoon, my mom’s due to arrive from Trinidad.  She flies into the Ft. Lauderdale airport and usually, her pickup’s a breeze. Actually, the last few times her plane has landed early and she’s been outside waiting for me.

SmileyHa again!

I head to the airport with my Kindle and proceed to wait in the cell phone area for her call. An hour and a half AFTER her flight’s listed as arrived – NADA. Zilch, nothing, no phone call. I contact my sons, ask them to check her flight status. The electronic board listing’s correct. She did arrive two hours earlier. Finally, I park, go in, and find out that the whole immigration network’s down, and they’ve been processing all flights manually.

We don’t make it home from the airport until 8:30PM from a flight that arrived at 4:15PM!!!!!

Aaargh.

I did what any semi-insane woman would do in that situation. I bought a bottle of wine and a lottery ticket!

Cheers,

Jianne
