			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eek!  I&#8217;ve been away from my blog for several weeks, busy with life and sundry unavoidable activities, but I&#8217;m back and very happy to report Ellora&#8217;s Cave has contracted 2 stories that will soon be available. (Yes, Bottoms Up book II  is one of them!) but first, here&#8217;s a bit about my next release, <a href="http://www.larissalyons.com/solar.htm"><strong><em>Sex &amp; Solar Flares</em></strong></a>. I just got the cover this week and I ADORE it!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.larissalyons.com/solar.htm"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.larissalyons.com/images/solar200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="329" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m working on the edits now and will post a release date as soon as I have it. Here&#8217;s the blurb:</p>
<p><em>Can a   fearless fairy seduce a stuffy  scientist?</em></p>
<p><em>After crash-landing  into the sexiest man on Earth,  apprentice fairy   Aurora  abandons her  assigned task in favor of seduction. And during a   starlit   constellation tour, she takes her own journey—right into   Charlie’s  pants!</em></p>
<p><em>Boarding a cruise ship bound  for Hawaii, astronomer Charles Morgan is    entranced by the whimsical  beauty who propositions him in the most   amazing way. </em><em>Would he like  to have sex with her? Does the sun   shine and the galaxy spin?</em></p>
<p><em>A night full of lust   and  stars, dusted with a hint of magic,  just might bring these two    unlikely lovers together for their own big bang!</em></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://http//www.jasminejade.com/p-7990-cotillion-christmas-spirits.aspx"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #000000;">Read Larissa&#8217;s </span></span><em>Miss Isabella Thaws a Frosty Lord</em></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">part of the <em><a href="http://http//www.jasminejade.com/p-7990-cotillion-christmas-spirits.aspx">Cotillion Christmas Spirits</a> </em>anthology from Cerridwen Press</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Miss Isabella Thaws a Frosty Lord</em></p>
<p>Dominated by her father&#8217;s rigid ways since a twist of fate stole her sight, Isabella uses the magic of Christmas to steal away for an adventure of her own when invited to join friends for the holidays. Oh, how she adores Christmastime!</p>
<p>How he abhors Christmastime! Lord Frostwood lives up to his name, freezing out everyone since a childhood tragedy hardened his heart. Everyone, that is, until a spirited wench falls at his feet and proceeds to warm his cold existence, thanks to some strategically placed mistletoe and their resulting Christmas kisses.</p>
<p>EXCERPT&#8230;which takes place after our heroine has been guided to a quiet spot in the drawing room and our hero has just expressed extreme displeasure&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Then, pray, what is the source of your consternation? Did Mrs. Parksen guide me to a perilous location?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Perilous for my sanity,&#8221; he muttered darkly. &#8220;We&#8217;re sitting directly beneath a kissing bough.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Noooo…&#8221; Oh, the possibilities that brought to mind!</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes. An emphatic yes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Was he angry? She couldn&#8217;t tell. &#8220;Yet had you not mentioned it, I would have remained oblivious.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;True.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her lips tingled.</p>
<p>Her whole body burned.</p>
<p>A clock somewhere in the room ticked away the seconds.</p>
<p>Yet for Isabella, time stood still.</p>
<p>His touch along the back of her hand firmed. &#8220;I cannot help but notice you make no move to, ah…move.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her breath whooshed out. &#8220;Nor do you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now what? Did he place his lips against her trembling own? Cup her cheek and smooth his thumb down her temple and get slapped for his efforts?</p>
<p>The innocent feel of her hand upon his thigh brought forth all manner of anything-but-innocent urges. Had since he&#8217;d secured it there.</p>
<p>By damn, if a slap was in the offing, he wanted to do significantly more than steal a simple kiss. &#8220;But I also want my bloody questions answered.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Pardon?&#8221;</p>
<p>Reluctantly, Frost released her hand and stood. &#8220;Appears to me as though this particular kissing bough has been dedicated for our use, or at least that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m deciding given its propinquity and position. I&#8217;ll just pocket this beauty and we&#8217;ll make use of it at a later date, shall we? Hmmm?&#8221;</p>
<p>Not that it would fit in his pocket, not without squashing it to a pulp, but she didn&#8217;t need to know that. So he tossed it on the settee, out of her reach.</p>
<p>&#8220;But that&#8217;s not how it works!&#8221;</p>
<p>Frost reseated himself, closer this time if that were possible. &#8220;I know full well how they work—&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Of a certainty, a man like you would.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;What&#8217;s that supposed to mean?&#8221;</p>
<p>Want to know whether Frost uses the kissing bough? Read <em>Miss Isabella Thaws a Frosty Lord</em> in <em><strong>Cotillion Christmas Spirits</strong></em></p>

<p><strong>Nate&#8217;s on a treasure hunt—to find the gold ball his former girlfriend has secreted between her legs. What&#8217;s she doing playing with sex toys at her wedding rehearsal anyway? And can he get close enough to find it before she says &#8220;I do&#8221; to the wrong man?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lexi doesn&#8217;t know why she picked today of all days to try out the Ben Wa Balls, but they have her primed for sex&#8230;and thinking of one sexy, bad-boy mechanic. Too bad Nate&#8217;s not the one she&#8217;s marrying, but he always said oil and champagne didn&#8217;t mix&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Nate isn&#8217;t sure he&#8217;s the man Lexi needs for the long haul and he sure never planned on abducting her, but when he finds himself crashing her wedding rehearsal, that&#8217;s exactly what he does. She fires his engines like no other and this time, he&#8217;s playing for keeps&#8230;unless she runs over his heart. Again.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing fancy today&#8230; just getting my feet wet. <img src='http://larissalyons.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But after debating for months I finally decided to start blogging, with the hope of keeping fans and readers more up-to-date on what I&#8217;m working on story-wise, as well as sharing my thoughts &#8212; goofy though they may be &#8212; on such far-reaching, mind-titillating topics as 007 (yes, James Bond&#8230;I&#8217;m a fan of both the books &amp; the movies and over time will offer reviews of them all),  the writing life of a health-challenged author who strives to feel better every day and make sure every book is better than the last, and I&#8217;ll also be posting reviews of my &#8220;Keeper Shelf&#8221; &#8212; those books that have been in my possession ranging up to 20 years or more, that I considered top of the tops. There&#8217;s a ton of traditional Signet Regencies on that list, but also a large number of books in other genres. Lastly, I&#8217;m sure there will be the occasional recipe or chocolate fix, or better still &#8212; little tips on living well and being happy. Because as far as I&#8217;m concerned, there is so much crappola going on in the world around us I think it&#8217;s really important when our own corner of this wonderful world is as pleasant and peaceful and smile-engendering as we can make it. That&#8217;s what I strive for&#8211; in my life, and with my stories&#8211;pleasantness and peace and contentment. All good qualities I think may sometimes be overlooked.</p>
<p>For several years now, I&#8217;ve attempted to update my Lair every other month or so and share all my writing news and best kitty pictures all at once but sometimes I&#8217;m woefully late. I think trying a blogging format, where I can post smaller snippets more frequently, and organize them according to topic, will prove a more efficient way to share what&#8217;s going on.</p>
<p>For the next few days, as I wade in a little deeper &#8212; and because Alyssa and I have a fabulous release coming out next week &#8212; I&#8217;ll be posting frequently as I get into my groove, but eventually, I&#8217;m not sure how often I&#8217;ll add things. I thought about posting just whenever I feel like it, I&#8217;ve also thought about attempting to do it on the &#8220;5&#8217;s&#8221; (i.e., on the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th and so on&#8230;). I also might try doing it once a week, say on Thursdays&#8230;</p>
<p>Haven&#8217;t made up my mind yet, but I do think every single day is more ambitious than I&#8217;m up for right now, but if you have an opinion I&#8217;d love to hear it. Are you someone that enjoys going to a blog every single day? Or is once a week or twice a month good enough?</p>
<p>Share your preference if you have it and have a wonderful day! Larissa</p>
