White meat or red meat? Probably red meat.

Entertainment
Bon Jovi or Guns n Roses? Ooh, this is tough. I loved both when I was younger. Err, probably GnR. I love the original GnR, but Bon Jovi are more my kinda band!
Movie or book? Depends on my mood, but I love falling in to a book.
Movies or TV shows? Probably movies.
Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Harry Potter for me.
Damon or Stefan Salvatore? Who are these people?? I am in shock with how many people don't watch Vampire Diaries!!!

Random
Dominance or submission? Dominance but depends ;) ;)

Vanilla or kink? Vanilla with just a hint of sauce ;) mmm, chocolate sauce!!
Cotton or satin? Cotton.

Anything you'd like to add, or anything new you'd like to tell us about while you're here?

Thanks for having me here today, Dee. I'm putting my marketing hat on now and saying sign up for new releases over at my website. Dirty Tricks is releasing soon and you won't want to miss it! ;)

Short Blurb:

Cat was desperate, but pretending to be a ghost to stop the renovation on the neighbouring manor house was a new low even for her. All she needed to do, though, was slow down the renovation and figure out a way to make the owner pay for stealing her family home years before. Everything was perfect until a new guy arrived on site, turning her plans for revenge upside down, and her body to a puddle of lusty mush. But when she finds out the secret he's been keeping, will their attraction be strong enough to hold them together? Or will family ties tear them apart?

Thanks so much for stopping by Xandra!!!!

About me:   Multi-published author, Xandra James, has always wanted to write romance books. Even when she was sneaking peaks at the hot bits, too young to fully appreciate them, she dreamt of writing her own.
Now, older and wiser, she's got the opportunity to project her slightly dark and wacky, British sense of humour onto others, whilst still writing the hot bits - bonus!
When not writing, Xandra is thinking of excuses as to why she shouldn't be doing the housework, looking after a husband and cats that refuse to pick up after themselves and climbing the mountain in her house that's affectionately called her tbr pile.
She currently holds the crown for Queen Procrastinator – something she's very proud of – so you can usually find her online, somewhere, when she really should be writing.

Food
Sweet or savoury? Sweet
Salad or sandwich? Sandwich all the way. Preferably a spicy Italian.

Entertainment
Bon Jovi or Guns n Roses? Guns n Roses, I love my bad boys
Movie or book? Is this a trick question? Book for the win! No trick :D
Movies or TV shows? TV Shows, I like being able to continue the obsession. I know what you mean, but I get so down when a favourite TV show ends for good. Like Chuck, I miss Chuck :(
Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Lord of the Rings, but truthfully its more of a tie.
Damon or Stefan Salvatore? Lol! See below.
True Blood or Vampire Diaries? Neither. The one girl on earth with a magical hoo-ha just doesnt make sense to me. Lol
Friends or Sex and the City? Friends. Carrie and Mr. Big never pulled at my heart strings the way Ross and Rachel did. Awh there was jsut something about those 2 wasn't there!

20 This or That Questions with... Nancy Jardine!!!

Well hi!

Nancy Jardine is over today, see what she has to say :)



Food
Sweet or savoury? Ah sugar! It has to be both, although I try to avoid cakes and rarely eat biscuits except shortbread a definite weakness. Pringles have to be removed from my sight or Ill eat the tub. Pringles!!! Its true that once you pop you just can't stop!!
Salad or sandwich? Depends on who is fixing lunch! Hubby isnt into salads, so then I get a bare bones sandwich. If I fix it I generally add salad stuff to make the bread and meat/or cheese much more interesting. Or, I make it a huge salad with a bit of pitta or sourdough on the side. If out to eat I love a really good and crisp Caesar salad.  Ooh that sounds interesting!
Macdonalds or Burger King? Neither. We have to be really desperate to eat in either of those two places, but over the years we have ended up in one or other since it was the only place open to eat very late at night. I do like a burger, though, and often choose them from Harvester type places. I've never been to an actual Harvester before, but may have to try it sometime.
White meat or red meat? Again both. I love a really rare steak. My husband would eat red meat all week long so he has to be persuaded to vary it with white meat and fish. Just as well we both like all kinds of seafood, cos we eat that quite a lot too! I love seafood :)

Entertainment
Bon Jovi or Guns n Roses? Probably Bon Jovi, though I dont listen to much Hard Rock. Im more of an Enya fan, and folk music! And more recently revisiting a lot of Sixties music. I love the old music :)
Movies or TV shows? Movies. I love watching movies though rarely find the time. I do also love the BBC type historicals that are serialised, and try to fit one or two into my schedule.   
Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Actually I loved both films and both books. I think you're my first guest to say that!
Damon or Stefan Salvatore? Damon. I love my men tall, dark and ...err... sexy. Oh definately!
True Blood or Vampire Diaries? I watched some True Blood but found the vampire thing not entertaining enough to drag me away from the keyboard as often as it is on TV.
Friends or Sex and the City? I watched a lot of Friends when it came out a long time ago, less of Sex and the City.
Star Wars or Star Trek? I was a Star Trek fan of the original series, so it has to be that but the Star Wars films are great to watch too.

Random
Dominance or submission? Oh, dominance of course though actually Im pretty submissive!
Kisses or hugs? Depends on who gives them! Agree
Bath or shower? Bath! I shower every day but love a bath after being out in the garden. My gardening is heavy duty since I tend to leave jobs till too late in my large garden, and the work is harder to remove the forest of weeds. I'm exactly the same Lol
Call or text? Can I say email and Facebook? Immediate family are a call job but not every day unless theres a crisis. I dont use my mobile often since Ive still got an old fashioned predict a text and its a pain in the bahookey! I tried an I-phone but it was extortionate for what I used it for so I tend to use my husbands I-phone instead. I email a lot too :)
Date night: stay in or go out? Guess it has to be stay-in since Ive been married for nearly 40 years (oh heck, did I just say that!) We used to go out more often but now its a novelty when we do. Were very lazy! That not lazy, its comfy :)
Singing or dancing? Singing, though I personally sing about as well as I dance. LOL. I try at both though, and love a rollicking good Scottish Ceilidh dance!   
Vanilla or kink? *wink* Kink has a lot of appeal;p
Cotton or satin? Satin for sensuality

Anything you'd like to add, or anything new you'd like to tell us about while you're here?
Thank you, Dee, for inviting me today. Its questions like the above that make me wonder what I do with my week and how it disappears in a flash! (Maybe I should watch more vampire stuff and learn how to do that whizz around thing that they do?) At the moment Im doing pre-submission polishing off of two new follow-ons to my historical novel- THE BELTANE CHOICE- set in Northern Britain AD 71-84. They start off in your neck of the woods on Brigantian soil (Scottish/ English border areas) and work their way up to where I stay in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. When thats done, Ill be picking up my family saga which is very loosely based on some very black sheep in my own family. Thats around 14 thousand words at present but Im planning on a three book job for that one. I love to try different sub-genres of fiction and romantic fiction at varying heat levels! 

Dee- To your readers.. enjoy the summer and read a lot of books theres a huge selection out there to choose from!    

 Thanks for stopping by Nancy! Look forward to actually getting round to your books soon!

BON JOVI!!!!!!! I went to the last concert at the old Wembly stadium….lost my voice I was singing so loud! Oh wow! I went to the opening of the O2 and it was amazing!

Book probably, because they can’t get all the fine descriptive details in a movie.

Movies or TV shows?
TV shows for me, I love a good cop show. Me too, Blue Bloods and The killing are 2 of my fave cop shows at the moment!

Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?
Harry Potter because the Lord of the Rings is too long *ducks flying tomes* And to be honest I only watched the movies of Harry Potter, not read the books.

Damon or Stefan Salvatore?

True Blood or Vampire Diaries?
See above….I know I know I’m a paranormal author who doesn’t watch vampire diaries OR True blood! And no you can’t have my paranormal author membership card back! I think you should be stripped of your rights woman!!! Only joking ;p

Friends or Sex and the City?
Friends because I never watched Sex in the City…… *hides*

Random
Dominance or submission?
Dominance, I am a control freak what else would I pick!

Call or text?
Text, so much quicker, although autocorrect is the bain of my life Autocorrect is great!

Date night: stay in or go out?
Stay in, I like simply and comfy ( now don’t that sound “romantic”) getting dressed up is fun but a lot of effort when I have to do it.

Singing or dancing?
I am not winning any talent shows that’s for sure but I do love a sing along, especially in the car! Don't we all!

Vanilla or kink?
Kink baby. I know I said simple and comfy but I guess I should have said simply, comfy and kinky hehe

Anything you'd like to add, or anything new you'd like to tell us about while you're here?

I am working on several new things right now, all of them shifters….you know me and my shifters! But nothing definite yet with any of them just yet!

Thanks Dee!!!

Thank you for coming by Cherie, that was fun!

Entertainment
Bon Jovi or Guns n Roses? Bon Jovi. But I did like Guns n Roses. I like em both too (seen em both, the new GnR though), but Bon Jovi rule!!

Anything you'd like to add, or anything new you'd like to tell us about while you're here?

The newest addition to my BDSM series of short stories, Dark Tales Diaries: Volume Two, released in June, 2013 from Evernight Publishing.

Heres a blurb:

Blackthorn Printing made a splash in the publishing world with the introduction of Dark Tales Diaries, yet despite his efforts, Tristan Blackthorn isn’t any closer to finding the woman he seeks. Unwilling to give up on his lost love, his search for Keira continues in Volume Two.

A voyeuristic moment leads an astronomy professor and his assistant to a steamy endeavor on The Observation Deck.

An invitation for cocktails has the reclusive woman who lives in 204-B pondering why the handsome, wealthy owner of her building would invite her to anything. Does she have enough guts to go to The Top Floor?

And a Maestro strikes the right cord with a young and talented cellist who is trying to find her passion.


I also have a contemporary interracial romance, A Whisper of Silk, that will be included in the His anthology. It will release from Evernight Publishing sometime in August, 2013.

Here’s a blurb from A Whisper of Silk:

Luci Karins had finally been noticed by the accounting firm she worked for, but not for her ability. They recognized she was the only single person in the firm, and sent her to Rio on an audit that would probably take weeks.
Once she arrived, she lost herself, swimming in a sea of numbers, and when she located the problem, Luci was ready to go back home, until she met an exotic man playing a guitar in a rundown shanty bar.
After his set, a steamy kiss led to losing her virginity to the dirt-poor, struggling musician named, Rafi. With plans to see him again, a fender bender changed everything, and Luci was forced to leave Brazil without telling Rafi--goodbye.
With nothing but his first name, she concluded they would never meet again, but when she saw the guitar player she’d been pining over, standing in the hallway of her office, Luci learned something shocking. You can never judge a book by its cover.

Be sure to keep your eye out for His anthology. With all the super talented authors involved, I’m sure it will be a good one.

I also have several other writing projects I’m working on. A historical romance, a paranormal romance, and a couple of contemporary romances with characters from my two-book series, The Good Sister. Reid Addison and Lord Barrington have been screaming at me to write their stories, so I’m keeping busy. As to which story I will finish first, I’m unsure. It all depends on my characters demands.

Thanks so much for having me, Dee! It was fun.

Thank you so much for coming along LSJ! I'm really looking forward to the Anthology!
