My contribution to the Ellora’s Cave Torrid Tarot series is available today! This story has been a long time coming. When the series was first proposed back in late 05, I immediately knew which card I wanted to write the story of: The Star. In the Fool’s Journey, The Star appears to the Fool at the most discouraging time. Into the darkness of that moment shines the light of The Star with its message of unexpected hope and help and healing, and since it’s erotic, Only Human is a story of sexual healing.

So I signed up to write The Star, wrote my proposal, got approval, and all this time later, here it is. Only Human! I’ve had the idea for a gothic trapped-in-a-house tale for even longer than that, but hadn’t found the right place for the idea.

Workaholic Elaine Llewellyn’s enforced vacation leaves her at far too loose an end for her peace of mind. With all that time on her hands, memories and longings she’s been repressing threaten to break free. Her solution? Distract herself by playing tourist on a just-busy-enough road trip through Maine.

A storm and a blocked road send her to an unscheduled stop at Damon Thorne’s private retreat. Instead of the B&B she’s expecting, the man who’s world famous for his surreal paintings of psychic visions has been expecting her and all of her careful plans are washed away with the rain.

Trapped in the house while the storm rages outside, Damon sets out to break through Elaine’s barriers, physical, mental and emotional. When the storm ends, she’ll have to make a choice: go back to the life of denial she’s been living, or come to terms with her own psychic gifts, her passionate nature, and the second chance at love she’s been offered.

Now available in ebook at Ellora’s Cave

WOW! Only Human is an intriguing page-turner that you won’t be able to put down. It is a dark and edgy tale with some very stimulating, sexual and arousing content. Ms. Teglia, I just have to say, way to go! You really got creative writing this book. Congrats on another winner of a story. - Nicole Austin

The gothic undertones caught me from the first page and I kept reading until I’d read the final word. A touch of the paranormal, mixed with intrigue, mystery, and passion, makes this book a fantastic read. - NJ Walters

From Nicole Austin. Woo! And it releases tomorrow. This is a little bit of a different kind of story from me, but my EC editor loved it, Nic loved it, and it kept NJ Walters from writing until she finished reading, heh heh. So I take all that as a good sign that readers will like my gothic erotic romance. And there’s a hot guy on the cover. Never hurts to have a hot half nekked guy on the cover.

Words to read and write by from Jayne Ann Krentz.

It’s all Shannon’s fault. She told me there was a Barbie and Ken doll set dressed as the hero and heroine of Jude Deveraux’s The Raider. I had to go look. Now I have to share it with you.

I’ve tweaked here and there and I think the site is complete and in good shape. But is there anything you’d like to see that’s not here? Have I forgotten anything? My goal was to have a site that reflected the general tone of my books, regardless of subgenre, made it easy to find information without requiring too many clicks, and has the interactivity of the blog. To have a site that was both professional and personable, a welcoming come-on-in kind of place.

I tried to make sure I didn’t commit any of my own peeves (I hate when I can’t tell what format a book is offered in, who published it, where to buy it, etc. when visiting an author site, for instance) and I’ve emulated what other authors have done to win me over, like adding freebies for readers. (And judging by the rate at which my two free titles get downloaded each month, those are going over realllly well!)

My one worry is that the home page seems a bit lacking in personality. It’s professional, but I’m not sure it says “Hi! Come in! Glad you’re here.” I’m trying to figure out what’s missing, there. I’m open to suggestions.
