LOL I made a pledge to write a little more frequently about my life&#8217;s events always ends up in my procrastination pile.  I often ask myself, Does someone really want to hear this?  I always feel as if I have to write something hugely interesting and worthwhile.  But then, maybe I am making mountains out of anthills.  So, I&#8217;m just going to plunge in head first and tell you what&#8217;s up, what my plans are, and share my writing dreams with you.  And we&#8217;ll see how that goes, because surely.even after a ten hour workday, I should be able to say&#8230;something, if only just a query on the best foot massage machine out there.</p>
<h2><strong>Plans</strong></h2>
<p>I will soon be meeting with some highly creative ladies with huge hearts and a daring vision for the charity I am involved with. <a title="Rising Phoenix Charitable Foundation" href="http://rpcf.org" target="_blank"><strong>Rising Phoenix Charitable Foundation</strong></a> currently supports The Shade Tree in Las Vegas Nevada and Angels Of East Africa.  So if you have a spare prayer or two, please ask God to financially bless these needy causes.</p>
<p>On a lighter note and to make a long story short, due to a suitcase mix-up, I had the opportunity to visit a movie set a while back and will be going to the TV set of a popular show this fall, so I am looking forward to that.  Will post a picture or two if I can!</p>
<p>My current writing dreams are ambitious, but as I always say, shoot for the stars in the universe and you may end up with the moon!  Things you can look forward to are:</p>
<p>Aerik the Enternal:Point of No Return by Jennifer St. Giles  Book One of the Crimson Thorn Series.</p>
<p>Unleash the Past by Jennifer St. Giles Book One of the Blackshadow Bodyguards Series</p>
<p>Cocktail Cove by Jennifer Saints Book One of the Southern Steam Series</p>
<p>Bewitching the Wolf, Book Five of the Shadowmen Series.</p>
<p>And a the first in the Covenant Conspiracies, a Steampunk Series.</p>
<p>The only way any book gets written in one day at a time, one page at a time, so wish me well, I am so eager to finish all of these stories.</p>
<h2>Now for an excerpt from Hard Irish Luck</h2>
<p>The world wouldn’t end if he kissed her again.  Tonight.   All she had to do was walk down the stairs&#8230;</p>
<p>Rocky didn’t give herself time to question.  She put her feet in motion and tip-toed downstairs, though marching would have fit her mood better.  She was still sane enough to consider that he might have taken pain medication and might be asleep.  Rounding the corner into the living room, she found the couch empty and searched the shadows for Jared, then gasped.</p>
<p>He stood at the French doors, looking at the backyard.  He wore only a pair of form fitting boxer briefs and the hard-shelled boot strapped to his leg.  His crutches were back at the couch, so he’d already gone against his brother’s advice to keep weight off of his injury.  Somehow that didn’t surprise her.</p>
<p>What did take her breath away was the sight of him.  Every lean inch of him was honed and tanned to perfection.  He dropped the curtain and turned to face her.  His broad shoulders and rippled abs made her weak in the knees, but it was the want in his gaze that did her in.  It was as raw and edgy as her need, only sharper.</p>
<p>The hungry predator had found his juicy prey.    Had she actually thought she could share another roll-on-the-floor rock-her-world kiss and escape unscathed?</p>
<p>Rethink time.  “I came to see if you’re all right.”  She moved over to the couch and picked up his crutches, planning to take them to him.  “You should be using these.”</p>
<p>He didn’t wait, but moved her way—faster than she thought possible.    He reached her.  “They’d only be in the way of this.”</p>
<p>She didn’t have a chance to breathe before he caught her in his arms and planted his mouth on hers, instantly hot and demanding.    She opened to him, meeting the thrust of his tongue with hers, groaning deep from within as her starving senses found succor for her every want.  His tongue tangled with hers, leading her in a seductive dance unlike any other.</p>
<p>He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tight against his supple heat and burning erection.  She pressed her palms to his chest, half thinking to stem the flooding tide, but then went crazy in a quest to feel and know his every contour.  His muscles rippled as he shuddered at her touch.</p>
<p>Happy Reading!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignleft wp-image-1416 size-medium" src="http://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2004/05/JenniferStGiles_MistressofTrevelyan_HR-3-200x300.jpg" alt="The Mistress of Trevelyan" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2004/05/JenniferStGiles_MistressofTrevelyan_HR-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2004/05/JenniferStGiles_MistressofTrevelyan_HR-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2004/05/JenniferStGiles_MistressofTrevelyan_HR-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2004/05/JenniferStGiles_MistressofTrevelyan_HR-3.jpg 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" />Is anyone&#8217;s head spinning as fast as mine?  2011 moved so quickly that I feel as if I have been thrust into a time machine and propelled against my will into the future. Maybe finding that much needed job and completing <em>Tactical Deception</em>, Book Two in my <em>Silent Warrior Series</em> had something to do with the time warp, but I didn&#8217;t accomplish most of the things I set out to do in 2011 and wish I could turn back the hands of time so that more of the stories in my heart and in my head could already find life on the page.  This year, I am going to do my best to make that happen.</p>
<p>I am a writer who loves story, no matter the genre and have my heart in the past, present, and the future.  So I hope you get the chance to enjoy all of my novels because they are coming at you in a Big Way in 2012.</p>
<p>First up is new hope for my beloved gothics!  <em>The Mistress of Trevelyan</em> and <em>His Dark Desires</em> (<em>The Trevelyan Series</em>) are now available on Kindle.  Classic mystery and romance set in the demure, but sexy Victorian Age, where women emerged from the confines of culture and society to take control of their lives.  I grew up loving Mary Stewart, Victoria Holt, and Phyllis A. Whitney and love the tale of a romance wrapped up in a murder mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat.</p>
<p>Samhain Publishing re-released<em> Midnight Secrets</em> and <em>Darkest Dreams</em>, the first two books of my <em>Killdaren Series</em>, sexy gothics with a touch of the paranormal.  Book three, <em>Silken Shadows</em> will be re-released in July of 2012.</p>
<p>In January, my scorching hot <em>Weldon Brothers Series</em> will get a new look.  So be on the watch for Jesse in <em>Wild Irish</em> and Jackson in <em>Smooth Irish</em>.  If you&#8217;ve never had a taste of a Southern Bad Boy Romance then you are definitely missing something good.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignright wp-image-1403 size-medium" src="http://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/JenniferStGiles_HisDarkDesires_HR-3-200x300.jpg" alt="His Dark Desires" width="200" height="300" srcset="https://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/JenniferStGiles_HisDarkDesires_HR-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/JenniferStGiles_HisDarkDesires_HR-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/JenniferStGiles_HisDarkDesires_HR-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://jenniferstgiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/JenniferStGiles_HisDarkDesires_HR-3.jpg 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" />In February heart-pounding suspense and romance will take center stage with the release of my military thriller, <em>Tactical Deception</em>.  Roger and Mari plunge headfirst into a terrorist plot that is tearing the heart out of America.  This is the much awaited sequel to and I am so excited to be starting off 2012 with this no holds barred race into danger and love.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s more!  But I will save news about <em>Tales from the Dark Domain: Aerik the Eternal, Bewitching the Wolf (Shadowmen Series</em> Book 5), and <em>Hot Irish (Weldon Brothers Series</em> Book 3) for later!</p>
<p>Thanks to all who email me your support and post reviews.  I can&#8217;t tell you how much your words encourage me.  You give me hope.</p>
<p>Bring on the New Year!  And <em>never</em> give up on your dreams.  Remember every day to Dream, Believe, Create, Inspire, Love, and Heal.</p>
<p>Jenni</p>
