Sedonia Guillone

I’ve had to put Quan Chan and Hiru (Sudden Heat) aside for a few days to edit Kiku and Yuzo’s story (Sudden Surrender) which is due out August 4th. Yay! I’m right in the middle and so hope to be done this weekend so I can continue with Sudden Heat. I’m really loving writing that story. The pics of Gackt are courtesy of a fan in Germany who posts them on the Dears livejournal. I love that she shares them and so then I can share them with you. I respond to this last picture in a mixed way. lol. I enjoy these kinds of sensual poses of him but I always can’t help a pang of envy of the girl in the picture too. Anyway, back to edits…

I don’t know if you’ve seen the film, Taboo. If so, then you’ve seen Ryuhei Matsuda who is absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend the film not only because of him but because it’s also an incredibly well done murder mystery set in feudal Japan. Ryuhei plays a young samurai who’s very seductive and has the other men in the barracks practically fighting over him. Yes, there is a great deal of homoerotic overtones in the film though it’s not graphic. Of course, I would like this part! lol Anyway, I can’t resist a good murder mystery with a beautiful samurai in it.

I can’t believe one of my fellow erotic romance authors actually lives near me! We’re both published at Total-E-Bound and so Anika and I are able to get together and chat. It’s really a treat. Anika just had her first release ever at Toal-E-Bound and I’m really excited for her.

Anika is a versatile author who writes f/f, m/f, and m/m. She has another release coming out soon and many works-in-progress, so be sure to keep an eye on her and visit her website!

Here’s a blurb and teaser for her new f/f release at Total-E-Bound:
Casey never had a really serious relationship; while Nicolette just got out of a bad one.

Nicolette Marchand relocated to South Florida to get away from an abusive lover. In her new home, she loves the sun, the beaches and the bookshop owner with the hazel eyes and beautiful smile. Spending her evenings in her home away from home, life was really good. At least, until the phone started ringing.

Casey Addison, bookshop owner, was a native of South Florida. She never really cared about anything or anyone other than her store before now. A chance encounter with a fellow book lover changed all that. She thoroughly enjoys the company of her bookshop’s new fixture. Unfortunately, someone is threatening her new found happiness and Casey gets caught in the middle.

Helping each other, will these two women discover a love they never knew they needed? And can Nicolette open herself up and trust that together, they are both…

Good for Something?

Teaser:
Casey’s hand continued their journey, stroking along Nicolette’s stomach. At the edge of Nicolette’s blouse, Casey ran her hand under Nicolette’s shirt and up. She traced along the scar there, asking, “Nicolette, what happened?”

Nicolette stiffened, flushing with embarrassment, but in her heart she knew she didn’t have anything to be ashamed of. The shame of that scar rested solely with the giver, rather than the receiver.

Nicolette placed her hand on top of Casey’s, not sure if her intent was to push it away or not. Casey must have sensed her discomfort because she crawled down the bed and began smoothing her tongue along the scar, softly sweeping the raised skin. She punctuated each swipe of her tongue, Nicolette deeply affected by each word spoken.

“You.” Starting at one end, she wrapped her fingers around Nicolette’s waist, licking the scarred flesh. Nicolette stared at the top of Casey’s head, half afraid of her next words. “Are,” Casey continued, stroking her tongue across Nicolette’s skin.

Reaching down, Nicolette combed her fingers through Casey’s hair, loving the silky soft texture.

Then Casey stopped moving and puffed lightly on Nicolette’s moistened tummy. “Very,” she breathed.

Nicolette squirmed from the sensation. Releasing Casey’s hair, Nicolette grabbed hold of the sheets, twisting her hands in the soft material. Each successive word Casey uttered made her feel empowered and vulnerable all at once.

“Beautiful,” Casey ended, licking along the line of the raised skin finishing at the other end of the scar, dipping her tongue within Nicolette’s navel along the way. Nicolette’s heart constricted as the soft touch and gentle words brought tears to her eyes. She could barely contain the depth of emotion Casey’s actions inspired.

“What’s wrong, baby?” Casey questioned, noticing her tears. Casey crawled back up her body, lightly brushing the tears off Nicolette’s cheeks. “Why are you crying, my Nicolette?”

“I…” Cupping Casey’s cheeks, Nicolette gave her a watery smile. “Your words mean the world to me. I’ve been so self-conscious of my scar.” Nicolette wondered how she’d gotten so lucky.

“You are though…” Casey continued, nuzzling into Nicolette’s hands.

“What?” Nicolette asked, drawing Casey’s head towards hers. She stared into her Casey girl’s eyes, loving the well of emotion reflected there, knowing her own eyes were brimming with more than just tears.

“You’re beautiful,” Casey answered, her tongue ghosting over Nicolette’s lips. Nicolette’s heart gave an involuntary leap. Hearing those words being uttered from the lips of this woman would always make them more precious.

Smiling Nicolette tilted Casey’s head, lining up their lips. “With you I feel beautiful,” Nicolette mumbled as their lips lightly touched.

Reviews trickle in more slowly these days because there are so many books to be reviewed! But they seem to come in bunches. Nothing for a long time and then several at once. lol. I received this one today for Gentle Warrior (Ellora’s Cave). I posted only the review part because the rest of the review is a summary of the story, complete with spoilers!

Here is the essence of the review:

Sexy, sweet, and a great read. Gentle Warrior is different from any book I’ve read, and that’s saying a lot. It’s a fast paced book with lots of danger, betrayal, love and very sexy nights. It’s gone with my keepers.

I was really happy to get Four Blue Ribbons for Heart of a Sorceress from Romance Junkies. I’m always appreciative when someone enjoys one of my books.

Here’s the basic essence of the review:

Sedonia Guillone can sure write some hot and tender love scenes, especially the very first one between Sha’ul and Lara where she becomes a woman in the elemental sense. Their passion for each other burns bright and I enjoyed how their love for each other was shown by their intimacy. HEART OF THE SORCERESS is one magical romance that should not be missed.

Yay!!

I just can’t help myself. lol. I hear that yesterday was Gackt’s birthday. I hope he had a good one!I’m not sure what else to say except that I just love listening to his music. I don’t understand the lyrics except for what I read in the translations, but his voice to me is heavenly, rich and beautiful.I just started listening to the alubum “Diabolos.” Wow, it’s fabulous! His style is theatrical and creative. I also adore the violin parts played by his friend You.

In some cool news, I finally found an artist to collaborate with! I don’t htink I’ve mentioned it before but for months now, I’ve been wanting to transpose my White Tigers series into yaoi manga. The only problem has been simply that I can’t draw to save my life. I hooked up with an artist I met on Katrina Strauss’ Blue Ruin forum and she’s drawing up some sketches of the characters. I did the first pages of storyboards last week. Wow! That’s a lot of work!!
I really admire the artists like Kazuma Kodaka (Kizuna: Bonds of Love - my favorite!) I also envy them their ability to write an incredible, gripping love story and present it in beautiful drawings. I will keep you posted as to our progress. I would so love to see those manga in publication.
This is one lucky girl. That’s all I can say about this photo. lol.
