Today December 4th is the day that Catherine's novel Binding Vows is released in digital format.
Catherine got so excited she jumped on the coffee table and well, do I have to say it
Catherine kept dancing, but she needs a new coffee table.
What's that Catherine, you want me to dance with you. Well I'm not very good at it.
Catherine grabs Mary's hand and pulls her up onto the new heavy duty, coffee table.
Hey, this is kinda fun. See you all later. Oh, read what Catherine wrote earlier! Dance, buggy woogy, I'm gonna break my neck Catherine...

This is my first stop on my virtual tour for Binding Vows, so thanks Fuzzy Slipper Ladies for having me.

First, a little bit about Binding Vows and how it ties into a short story about me.

Tara McAllister is a lovely, virginal twenty five year old woman who knows exactly what she wants in her life. She also knows exactly what she doesn’t want. After watching her older sister struggle with an unexpected teenage pregnancy, Tara vows to hold on to her virginity until the right man comes along. She isn’t willing to give away her one-time gift to just anyone.

How does this tie into my life? I had a friend in high school that ended up with an unplanned pregnancy and my older sister had a quick marriage after the rabbit died. The difference with Tara McAllister’s history and mine is the response of her parents. Tara’s parents were less than supportive, where in both the above cases, I saw loving, helpful parents who were there for their children.

I am the mother of sons and not daughters. But if I had a daughter I’d be quick to remind them that loosing their virginity can only happen once. I’d say this: “Make sure your feelings for your partner are solid and backed up with time, because this first time will be remembered for the rest of your life.”

Tara lives her life like this. She isn’t willing to give away her gift, isn’t willing to fall into a man’s bed for only one night no matter how sexy he might be, or how much his Scottish accent reaches out a licks her skin.

Excerpt:

“Did you bring me out here to seduce me?” Now why

had she asked that? She regretted the question

almost immediately.

When Duncan’s answer didn’t come quickly she

glanced up again. He was measuring her question

and deciding on an answer.

“I believe ’twas part of my intent.”

“Well, I have to give you points for honesty.”

Tara busied her hands to cover up her nerves. Hands

shaking, she attempted to cut off some of the cheese.

Duncan placed a hand over hers and removed

the dagger from her fingers. He sliced the cheese

and handed her a bite.

Tara felt a spark when their fingers touched.

“I have made you uncomfortable. I am sorry.”

His voice was as polished as his moves.

“It’s okay. I really do applaud your honesty. It’s

refreshing in this day and age. So many people lie to

get what they want.”

“Truth is important to you?” Duncan looked

away.

“Yes. I’ll be honest with you.” Tara took a longsuffering

breath and slowly explained what she

needed to say. “Having sex with someone I barely

know isn’t on my list of things to do today.” The air

thickened while she awaited his reply. Her shoulders

tensed.

With a straight face he asked, “What about

tomorrow?”

The second book in the MacCoinnich trilogy is under contract and edits. Myra MacCoinnich’s story will hopefully come to you in 2010.

Thanks again for having me, Fuzzy Ladies.

Thanks for the great blog Catherine. Keep dancing!

Enjoy the good things.

Hello, everyone!

I am very excited to announce that my third release is forthcoming on Wednesday, May 27th at The Wild Rose Press. This being my very first post here, I want to first thank all the ladies at Pink Fuzzy Slippers for inviting me to join you and the warm welcome you have all bestowed upon me.

Now because it's so hard to contain my excitement, allow me to tell you my news!


Bestial Cravings is a stand alone short companion story contained within my Roma Wolf Tales Series. It also serves to introduce some new characters into the mix with Pita, Niko, Sasha, Tomas, et al:)

I am currently working on Book II of the series, and for all of you who aren't familiar with my first book, Curse of the Marhime is the first in the series and is available at TWRP and other fine book retailers.

For more information on these and more of my antics please visit me at my website or blog. I'd love to have you drop in, and I welcome any authors out there who would like to do guest spots on my blog to promote yourselves as well your upcoming and existing releases. Please email me privately at gothscribe@aol.com any time and we can set up a date for your appearance/interview. I am more than happy to help promote my friends and peers at anytime.

Bestial Cravings Blurb:
Vesta Johns has everything going for her—except her health. Desperate to find the answers to her lethargy and her insatiable desire for raw meat and sex, she seeks out the help of her doctor, but Dr. Cohen can give her no answers.
Or can she?
Torrence Simiene is a medical consultant with a unique specialization. As an alpha werewolf, it’s been his job to aid Dr. Cohen’s distinctive patients through their transition from human to shifter, for years. This time, however, it’s different. Vesta arouses his primal lust, and he’s having a hard time keeping her at a distance.
Will the doctor’s plan of care offer the ultimate cure for Tor and Vesta’s bestial cravings , or further drive them apart?

Teaser:
He smiled and turned to her. “Do I make you uncomfortable?”
“No. It’s just…well…it’s more the opposite, really.” She gave him a sexy, little, side glance. “It’s like I belong with you. Like I’ve been waiting for you. But in the same token, the feeling makes me question it.” She stared into the empty hearth for a long minute.
Tor wondered if she would say anything else. His lust for her became increasingly more uncomfortable by the minute, and he needed to get away from her but he also needed to taste her lips just once before he left, though deep down he knew once wouldn’t be enough.

Please join me at Catherine Bybee's blog on Friday, May 29th. Catherine is always mighty successful at getting info you might not normally share, LOL
