Well due to my super distracted week last week, I was unable to book in a Promo Monday, so instead, today is UPDATE Monday!
Where to begin.. How about with why I was so distracted last week: We had the weekend (plus half the week) kid-free, so planned on doing a picnic lunch on Monday up in the mountains. Unfortunately, as we drove out of the parking lot after buying a picnic set and blanket, we got side swiped by a ute. Panel damage! So spent a lot of the week getting insurance quotes and getting the info off to the other guy's work insurance. Add to that viewing a house for when we move, AND two major essays for uni due, and I was super distracted! Had to get time extensions for both units, one until yesterday, the other for today (both were due Friday), but thankfully only needed a 1 day extension on one of them, and those units are now finished! On to the fun units as of today!
So what am I doing this study period? Introduction to Writing (I've peeked ahead at the essays, and I am so excited about them!) and Engaging Media (also excited, but not as much as my writing ones!!), for which I have set up a blog as part of the assessment. If you're interested in getting an idea of just what I am doing, then head on over to Engaging Media in SP3 2012. I know, not the most creative name, but you will start seeing creative ideas flowing as the unit progresses!
So for now, that is all. Hopefully back with Promo Mondays next week. Have a good one, everyone!
Let books be the bridge to a wonderful new realm of possibilities. ~Phoenix Johnson, From Ashes to Page

Promo Monday with Karenna Colcroft Dancing Away
This week I'm thrilled to welcome back Karenna Colcroft! This time she's talking about her soon-to-be-released Dancing Away, contest included! Be one of the first to get your hands on this new novella!
A Blast from the Past
Do you ever think about that special someone from your high school days? The one who made your heart skip a beat just by smiling at you? The one you hoped for a happily-ever-after with? Maybe you’re one of the fortunate few who found their true match in high school. Or maybe it took a little longer.
In my new M/M contemporary novella Dancing Away, Merit Hartwick wanted his special someone to be Cole Dellany. But Cole was a jock and hung out with the guys who bullied Merit mercilessly. Until the night of their senior prom, Cole never participated in the bullying. That night, though, he broke Merit’s heart.
A decade later, Cole returns to Merit’s life with two confessions: he’s gay and he wants Merit. Can a closeted former jock and a distrustful ballet dancer overcome past hurts and make a life together? Find out by reading Dancing Away, releasing August 16 from Pink Petal Books (http://pinkpetalbooks.com).
You can find out more about Karenna Colcroft and her books by visiting her website, www.karennacolcroft.com, or by joining her Facebook group, http://www.facebook.com/groups/261093317316839/.
Who was your high school “someone”? Tell me about him or her in the comments and you’ll be entered to win a PDF copy of Dancing Away. Contest will close Friday, August 17, at noon Eastern. (US Time)
Excerpt from Dancing Away:
He allowed Merit to move him, and they inched sideways without taking hands or lips off one
another until they bumped against the bed. Then Merit broke the kiss and, grinning, shoved Cole
onto the mattress.
Cole pinwheeled his arms, trying to keep his balance, but fell onto his back. He glared up at
Merit, who stood laughing. “You think that’s funny?”
“I think you’re exactly where I wanted you and this was the easiest way to get you there.”
Merit unfastened his slacks but didn’t remove them. “It’s sweet that you’re so shy with me.
Believe me, I understand. I don’t want to push this too far too fast either. But if we keep dancing
around each other, we’ll never get to what we really want.”
“I want to see you.” Cole propped himself on his elbows. “All of you. Please.”
“Only if you show me yours.”
Cole licked his lips, partly out of nerves and partly at the anticipation of tasting Merit once
they were both out of their clothes. He’d been startled at Merit’s sudden move, but he saw the
point. They’d been moving so slowly nothing would ever have happened.
“I’ll show you,” he promised.
“I know you will.”
Merit pushed his slacks and briefs to the floor and stepped out of them. Nude, he was
magnificent. His dancer’s body, accentuated by muscles, was in perfect proportion. His long
cock stood hard. And Merit obviously had no qualms about showing himself to Cole. He put his
hands on his hips and smiled down, standing as confidently as if he were fully clothed. “What do
you think?”
“I think you’re the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.” Cole slowly scanned the other man’s body,
desire rushing through him. This was the body he had touched. And would be touching again
very soon. The body that would be against his, under or on top, he didn’t know which and at that
moment didn’t care. All that mattered was that he and Merit would be together.
“Now it’s your turn,” Merit said.
Cole stood and removed his jeans and boxers. The moment he was naked, heat flooded his
face. Other men had seen him unclothed, but none had scrutinized him the way Merit was doing.
None of their gazes had been so tangible, like fingers running lightly over his skin. He was
suddenly shy again and battled the urge to cover his cock with his hands.
Merit kissed his shoulder. “I could look at you all day. You’re blushing, do you know that?”
“I know.”
“Why?” Merit traced a fingertip down the center of Cole’s torso, stopping just short of the
tip of his cock. “You aren’t ashamed to be here with me, are you?”
“Of course not.” Cole drew a shuddering breath, waiting to see where Merit would touch
him next. “I don’t know how to act with you.”
“You’re doing fine.” Merit moved his finger a tiny fraction closer to Cole’s cock. “Do you
want me to touch you, Cole? Do you want me to put my hand around your dick? Or would you
rather have my mouth? You want me to tell you what I like. Tell me what you like.”
“Everything.” The word erupted from Cole’s throat as desire roared into hunger. “Please,
god, I want everything with you. Everything we never dared to ask for from each other before.”

Author Bio:
Synopsis
The werewolves are dying. Years of war between the Born werewolves and bitten, along with a lack of healthy bloodlines, has taken its toll on the race and if something isn’t done soon they will all be gone within the next fifty years. They are a strong breed, but have one major weakness that will probably end them all.
The werewolves are dying. Years of war between the Born werewolves and bitten, along with a lack of healthy bloodlines, has taken its toll on the race and if something isn’t done soon they will all be gone within the next fifty years. They are a strong breed, but have one major weakness that will probably end them all.
Werewolves – like their natural counterpart
the
wolves – breed for life; and if there is no mate, there is no life. A prolonged
separation between mates can kill them more efficiently than any bullet ever
could.
The Council are playing with fire when they
use
this very weakness against Sugar Lubec, the Born daughter of two bitten
parents, to carry the offspring of Alpha Jack Coon. He is the leader of the
largest werewolf pack in North America.
Ending the war between the two groups is
the only
thing that can save the werewolves and bring Jack and Sugar together. Can they
do it before they end up paying the ultimate price for their long separation?
Or will that price be the only thing that can end the war?
***
Excerpt
“Miss Lubec,
though Alpha Coon's offer may be tempting, I must keep in mind the bloodlines
from which you are descended. Your parents have killed off our race for over
thirty years. They left you for dead and you were brought up by the human race.
From looking through your records, I have come to the conclusion that you were
raised to be a monster and you do it well. You showed signs of aggression at a
very early age and showed no hesitation when it came to injuring people.
Dangerous enough as a human woman, but a recipe for disaster as a werewolf
because that is what you now are. As I see it, Miss Lubec, you are your
mother's daughter right down to your good looks and quick wit.” Even though I
knew nothing of my family, I now knew enough to know that this was a bad thing.
“But …” the
second speaking member continued, “I am not the only member of this Council,
and some feel you should be given a chance to thrive in a Pack-related
environment, even if it is only an temporary experiment.”
The only person
in the line up who looked at me was the woman on the end, Jack's relative. She
was my saving grace, but she had a dangerous air about her. They say politics
can corrupt an otherwise pure mind, and the longer you are exposed to them the
worse it becomes – like standing next to a power plant and letting it turn your
brain to cancer.
“Alpha Coon was
right to offer the one thing we need, but I am denying you both that right. You
will be allowed to live within the Pack for as long as you wish, but you will
not be permitted to marry or have children within its ranks.” The woman at the
end of the table flinched – as well as a woman of her age and condition could –
but quickly covered it. I saw in that moment that she hadn't gotten the job for
her lack of backbone or wit, and though she may have seemed decrepit, she was a
force to be reckoned with. At the moment, I was just glad she seemed to be on
my side.
Jack stood up,
knocking his chair to the floor in his rush. “You're condemning her to death!”
His features were twisted in hate and rage, as he pointed a finger towards the
speaking elder.
I stood up and
placed a hand on his extended arm lowering it gently. With it Jack's whole body
sagged. It looked like my touch had the same affect on him as his did on me. A
warrior's lace; the one thing that can soften a man of war is a woman's lace. A
high school English teacher once told me why women like Lady Guinevere and
Helen of Troy, though they were not the appointed leaders of their nations,
could build them up according to the men they chose to love. The women could
also be their death, depending on how the cards fell.
“No Mr. Coon,
she will be permitted to marry outside the Pack if she chooses a human
companion, but if you decide to once again ignore our commands, you will be
punished with a death...hers.” The old man gave a confident nod of his head to
signal the meeting's end and the group stood and filed out the way they came
in, including the oldest woman, without a second glace in my direction.
Jack dropped his
head into his hands when the room was empty. “They are testing my patience.” He
voice made my lips curl into a frown. He sounded too confident for a man who
feared this group so much.
I stood in back
of his chair like a painted doll and stared at the clock...still ticking. Life
goes on once again …

Campus Sexploits Anthology by Naughty Nights Press
Synopsis
Did you ever do anything in college that was considered “outrageous”
by your friends? Have one amazing night with a sex god only to never see him
again? Play naughty sorority games that left you breathless and yet sexually
satisfied? Or did you perhaps want to join your roommate in a naughty ménage a
trois?
Campus Sexploits is the first book in a series of anthologies all
about the fantasy fun days of youth. Four naughty college/university themed
erotic short stories to tantalize and tease the senses while giving readers a
little taste of the wickedly erotic worlds these four fantastic authors can
weave. Worlds of incredible earth shattering sexual freedom involving college
or university students and the sexual antics they participate in. Worlds you
can just feel yourself fall into...
Campus Sexploits Contributors List
Abby Hayes - Chem 101
When Sara is caught almost kissing the professor’s assistant after
chemistry lab, the professor makes them both a proposition they can’t pass up.
It sounds like a typical ménage encounter, and she is more than willing to be
taught. Yet, soon her and the assistant find that the professor likes to give
directions, in and out of class, pushing his students in little ways, more than
they imagined he ever would.
C.M Owens - Youth and
Experience
Professor Robert Archer is at the top of his field; a world leader in
research, highly respected by his peers. But, when he presents his latest paper
at a conference, he finds himself confronted with unfamiliar criticism from up
and coming PhD student, Lucy Faraway. Initially he sees her as a naïve
idealist, but he soon comes to realize she has the intellect to match her
confident attitude. Smart, sassy and sexy, Lucy gets his blood pumping in more
ways than one. Thrown out of his comfort zone Robert isn’t sure how to act
around her, but Lucy’s tenacity extends beyond the realm of stages and seminars
and all he really needs to do is hang on for the ride.
Willow Leigh - My Greek
Week Adonis
We enter freshman year and Greek Week-End. Two girls become fast friends delving into a
relationship of sorts. Emerging and wanting
more is Abbie, as she takes us through life during Greek Week-End from freshman
to senior year, on a journey through the sexual awakening’s of a college
student.
J.T. Seate - Campus Confidential
Ahhhh, the grand old days of college, when a spunky coed danced naked
for ten college guys. Jack looks back on a vivid memory about carpeing more
than the diem in this ribald confession. Kaye ‘Fluffy’ Wyatt was a godsend to
the lads in the dormitory, especially considering they were all matriculating
at a conservative bible college. When she was ready to be ridden, the horny
lads quickly discovered what Fluffy was all about—more, more, and yet more
rockin’ ‘n’ rollin’. But as with most good things, there was a catch. The
casually mentioned fact that Fluffy was the dean’s daughter made genitalia
shrivel and graduation a crap-shoot. The romp ends with bittersweet yet fond
memories of a night in the life.
