I spend quite a bit of time in Panama, a country I heartily recommend you visit. You’ll find the world’s best undiscovered beaches there—very inspirational for writing.
It's also the setting for Boom! Listen to Your Heart.
BOOM
Five Things You Probably Don’t
Know About Boom! and Zing!
1. Boom! is about Baby Boomers—hence the title!
2. Both books are erotic romantic suspense stories
with lots of laugh out loud moments (particularly in the sex scenes!)
3. Both books are set in Victoria, British
Columbia, Canada’s intimate “Garden City”, possibly the last place anyone would
think to set a “kinky” romance. But, yes, there are people living there who
enjoy the Dom/Sub lifestyle. They are part of a series, so you can follow
characters from Boom! in Zing!
4. Both books wander into Central America as the
plots progress, adding tropical spice to the mix.
5. Zing!
features the music of one of my favorite groups, Queen, and is dedicated to the late Freddie Mercury. Hopefully the
books will “rock you” (in a good way).
EXCERPT from Boom!-shopping for undies with a new lover
Michael and Jessie went to The
Bay to shop for underwear. She’d picked up packages of generic briefs for both
previous husbands, but had never bought undies with a man before.
Visions of Michael in a skimpy
thong filled her brain.
First, they headed for the
shelves with the shirts. “I've developed a fetish for buying shirts,” he
admitted. “I've bought over a hundred since Linda left.”
“I noticed your closet was rather
full,” she teased. He was deliberately delaying the underwear buying, knowing she
was excited about it.
He quickly picked out a shirt in
the right size, then headed for the tie racks. “My problem is I have no trouble
choosing a shirt, but I can never find the right tie.”
Jessie worked her way through the
ties, pulling out one or two she thought might be suitable. She lay them one at
a time on the front of the shirt he’d picked out, knowing which one she would
select if it was up to her.
“Which would you choose?” he
asked, scratching his head.
She pointed.
He grinned, planting a kiss on
her forehead. “Perfect! Now for the undies.”
He handed the shirt and tie over
to a clerk. “Can you hang on to these? My lover and I are headed over to the
men’s underwear department.”
Ignoring the woman’s rapid
blinking, he made a beeline for the Calvin Klein display.
“Black?’ he asked, holding a
bikini thong in front of his crotch.
Heat shot through her. “Nice,”
she murmured.
“What size do you think I am?”
Her tongue seemed to be glued to
the roof of her mouth. “Large, I’d guess.”
He smirked, hunting through the
bin. “Only large, eh? Not XL? Okay. I’ll try them on, to be sure.”
She trailed after him to the
dressing room, her face on fire. The female clerk took one look at him, then
spied the underwear. She smiled seductively, but her smile turned to a glare
when she realized he wasn't alone.
Jessie glared back.
You wanna
fight me for him? Huh? Huh?
“I’ll wait here,” she declared.
The clerk led the way into the
change rooms, reminding him, as she glanced at his groin, to keep his own
underwear on when he tried the Calvin Klein.
Jessie made a show of being
interested in the racks near the dressing rooms, but the breath wooshed from
her lungs when she looked up three minutes later to see Michael standing in the
doorway wearing only the Calvin Klein and a seductive smile, his hands out at
his sides, as if to say, “What do you think?”
The clerk bustled over, looking
irritated, but he held up his hand, stopping her in her tracks. “I’m buying
them anyway. Just want my lover to see them.”
The well designed underwear
hugged the bulge at his crotch beautifully. The bikini style revealed a
tantalizing glimpse of pubic hair. Jessie couldn't take her eyes off him.
Neither could a handful of women who happened to be walking by.
He turned. “How about from the
back? Look okay?”
She might faint. Her heart was
pounding, pounding. “Very nice,” she croaked. “Are they comfortable?”
Hell’s bells! Now she was talking
like his mother.
He winked at her over his
shoulder, a big grin on his face. “Very.”
“Let’s get a dozen.”

Roxanne,
ReplyDeleteBaby Boomer waving!!! This line from your excerpt took me back a few years to school clothes shopping with my mom: "Hell’s bells! Now she was talking like his mother."
I shudder when I think of trying on clothes in stores when I was a kid. Back then, we didn't have big stores in my town in which to shop. We had 'little old lady owned' shops run my the nosiest, matronly-est(???), blue-haired old biddies who would pull the dressing room curtain aside (no doors for privacy) for the whole world to see you standing there in your underwear. "How are you doing, honey?" And of course, as a kid, you never agree with your mom on clothing styles, so the entire shopping experience was painful. I still don't try on clothes in stores because of those memories. o_0
Your excerpt made me laugh, though. Thanks for sharing a much better way to enjoy trying on clothes in a store. It was great fun.
Enjoyed your walk down memory lane, Kaye. Glad you got a chuckle out of the excerpt.
DeleteThanks for sharing the excerpt, It'll take me a while to stop grinning.
ReplyDeleteHappy to have brightened your day, Linda.
DeleteWow... spicy. Did you write both books while on vacation in Panama or did it just give you the ideas??
