What's November look like for you?

This year is passing so fast it's hard to keep up. We're in November and I can't tell you where the time has gone. I'm starting to make plans for Thanksgiving, as I'm sure we all are (if you live in the U.S.).

I'm not much of a baker but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to plan when you have a large family. Everyone brings a dish which helps but it's still a lot of work. Ah, the things we do for those that we love.

Additionally, NaNoWriMo starts this month. I'm not participating, but I'll be cheering on those who do. It's an exciting month for writing and many author who finish their book go on to publish it in the future. Yes, expect many gems in the coming months from the prolific fingers of writing who write a book this month.

I'm considering writing a short story just to stay in the groove of things. Don't worry I'm still working on Clandestine Engagements and the other stories but they're novel length and take more time for me. We'll see what happens.

The only thing I really care about is that we are all safe and healthy. With that, we can do anything.

What's November look like for you? Plans, parties, baking, writing, shopping?

Happy November,

Mary

I'm on the Couch. Join Me. #Erotic #Romance #Readers

I'm on the couch today and I've got a giveaway.

Hmm, maybe I need to work on my phrasing. Anyway, I'm visiting over at Abbie Roads blog and I'm her Author on the Couch interviewee.

We're talking deep thoughts and surprising secrets, so join me and enter a chance to win a PDF copy of  my paranormal fantasy, erotic romance, SINDRIEL.

The book is the sequel to Love's Demon Ways, but trust me that it is also a stand-alone novel.

He wouldn't have it any other way.

In September, How do you celebrate Autumn?

There is a lot to love about this month including the fact that the first day of Fall comes on September 22^nd.

 I love the change in weather when a cool breeze sweeps over you and the trees shiver, dropping their leaves as they prepare to hibernate. That's how I see the changeover anyway.

Then there are those trees whose leaves turn yellow, red, and gold for the season. It's all so beautiful. It's the perfect month for changes, in my opinion. Do you want to paint a room? Do it. Have a closet to clean? Yes, now's the time.

Many would tell me to finish writing, at least one of, my books. I smile. I do intend to do just that. I'm thinking Clandestine Engagements. The story is so close to being finished, if only the characters would cooperate. We'll see what happens. We all know how characters can be. Sometimes, they just want things to keep going on and on, they are having so much fun.

How do you celebrate Fall? Do you decorate, change up your furniture, clean out the garden or a closet? Do you have a trip you are ready to take? What does the month of September hold for you?

We'll talk books and anticipated reads another day. For now, go out and treat yourself to something a little different. Change something up. Have some fun and remember to….

 Sexify your life,

Mary

The Intimacy of a Lover's Arms #writerslife #Romance

Just to be held can be far more intimate than sex. Why? Because the ability to provide a person with a place to take a breath and be safe is extraordinarily precious.

How many times have you ever had your lover's arms around you, while the two of you stood together, just holding one another? You ask him to squeeze you and he does, providing for your needs without question.

That type of loving moment is what makes touch so intimate. For a quiet moment while the two of you hold one another, the drama and doubts of the world fade away and all becomes manageable again. It's a powerful gift to give another person.

As females we'll curl up next to a man on the couch, snuggling in until he puts his arm around us. There's no need for us to speak. He knows our affectionate nature and it's only him who provides for us.

Men aren't as easy to read when they need to be held. They're stoic about such needs at times. Luckily, sometimes just our company is enough to thaw their exterior.

A woman must never take for granted what her company and touch mean to her man. It's all about the intimacy of touch.

To be held safely in the arms of another, while the storm of life swirls around, is a precious moment. It may be for one minute or one hour, but what matters is the touch and sense of security those loving arms bring.

Happy reading,

Mary Corrales
