Cancer

Tonight this post goes out in the loving memory of my belated uncle Carlos Quinones. I can't really go indepth to who my uncle was or tell funny stories of times spent together because unfortunately I didn't get to know him well.All I have are vague memories of the man whom he was and stories told by family members who did get to know him. But it doesn't change the fact that I am reminded of him every single day by patients that I register. My heart goes out to all of those whom fight this never ending battle with these demons that deteriorate the cells in their organisms. Day to day I meet people in various stages of their treatment either in remission or just begining their treatments. These people confide in me their greatest fears and/or their optisism in the way that they see life and how they can't wait to have new begingings. They also go on to say that they can't wait to yell at the top of their lungs that they are SURVIVORS! They look upon me to give them strenghtening words and I try my best. The reason that I am writing this post today is because I can't get the stricken look of a patient that i had this afternoon. She sobbed at my desk for a full hour and I  truly realized that the monster called cancer has no scruples as to whom it affects. At the tender age of nineteen she has had both of her breast removed last week and is to start undergoing chemo. As I was registering her she broke out into heart wrenching sobs, I tried to calm her and tell her everything would be okay to have faith. It broke my heart that I could do nothing more than to  offer those simple words to her. She sobbed her eyes out at the thought of not being able to bear children. She went on to state that no man would marry her because she didn't have her breast she said she didn't feel like a woman anymore. She even went on to say that even if she got  breast implants they still wouldn't marry her because she couldn't give them children. I really felt for the young woman, I tried my best to comfort her with words that came to heart but in truth I couldn't even imagine the place I'd be in if I didn't have my chaotic boys to fulfil my days and drive me insane . Needless to say, I came home to smother my kids with tight hugs and kisses. I  truly thanked God for them. It also got me thinking of the pain and agony that my uncle must've gone through. I wish I could've been there for him, even if it was to just offer the vague words to 'just have faith'. This goes out to say be aware of your body, support others and also keeps those you love close because in this cruel world you never know when their or your time is up! Take care everyone and good night.

*****

He pinned my hands above my head with one of his hands while the other held me by my chin coercing me to stay still as he whispered in my ear,

“Trisha I could tell you want this, you want me! I can tell by the way you’ve been tempting from the moment I walked in through that door! You’re the only one who’s fighting us—fighting this—fighting yourself. You don’t know how to ask for what you want but I do. Look at the way you affect me?”

 His breath was fanning against my ear causing me to shiver as he rotated his hips to emphasize what he meant, rubbing his hard dick against my stomach. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think, I wanted to fight this, say it wasn’t true—that he didn’t affect me in that way anymore but the more he rubbed the more my core melted for him. He sucked my earlobe into his mouth, twirling circles with his tongue causing a moan to escape my lips involuntarily melting my resolve little by little. He grazed his teeth against my jaw, as he turned my face slowly to meet my lips, I could do nothing more but to obey he was in control. Brushing his lips against mine; coercing them to open for an invitation.he licked, then Sucked my lower lip into his mouth. I moaned again finally giving into his tease losing myself in his kiss, as he delved his tongue into my mouth I wanted to run my hands through his haor so badly but couldn't. He released my chin and let his now free hand roam my body tucking it under my ass, lifting me up. I obeyed wrapping my legs around his torso. His hand came back up into my hair pulling my head back as he broke our kiss to lick and kiss down my neck. He began to pull the knot out of the halter of my dress loose letting the fabrics slide slowly over my nipple causing it to pebble as the breeze hit them.

“Wait,” I said in between panted breaths. “Caeden we can’t do this here, my family’s having dinner in the other room.” I said trying to get my wits together before I had sex with my ex in the hallway behind the stair wells.

“Shhh, Trish, it’s much more thrilling this way.” He said as he pulled up my dress, delving his fingers beneath the hem of my panties heading for my core causing another moan to escape my mouth as at the same time he pulled a nipple into his warm mouth.

“Fuck! You’re so wet.” He moaned with my nipple between his teeth. I gave in and began to ride his fingers feverishly. He let go of my nipple then and kissed me to muffle a moan that escaped my mouth. Shivers ran down my spine as my inner muscles fought to the urge to cum, just as I was about to peak he pulled his fingers out leaving core with a void. I whimpered in frustration when I noticed him unbuckling his hand with one hand. He pulled out of our kiss.

"Please let my hands go, I want to be the one to put you inside of me. ummm…” I moaned as he filled me with what I longed for at that moment. He went hard and fast exactly what I need at that moment causing me to cum instantly.

There aren't enough hours in a day!

Well I know that I don't keep up with my blog much (better yet not at all). I really want to change that but I find it difficult and I feel as if I dont have much time as of late. I have so much on my plate, being that I work full time, try to take care of my kids, starting school full time this fall and trying to write my first book in my series (which is very hard) I find that my brain gets fried pretty quickly. I know that many of my fellow bloggers have a schedule set up for themselves but to honest I suck with schedules. I really wish I could add more hours to the day or better yet to fulfil my dream of becoming of fulltime writer. Wooh! how exciting would that be? I get giddy just thinking about that. Does anyone else? Well anyways I would like some help on how to manage my time so I could become better at this type of stuff any suggestions?

I am Back

So I know Ive neglected my blog and everything else for that matter, but with so much going on its been tough..... I'm going back to school, my kids driving me insane (shhh! I think they are out to get me! lol) my computer getting messed and keeping up with a fulltime job (wow that was tiring just stating it) I've barely had anytime to breath. But I've recently bought myself a laptop which i justified buying for the sole purpose of keeping up with my writing (or better yet starting off with my writing). I have the storyline and characters in my head and now they will be let out to play indefinately to finally finish on the project that I've wanted to start since more than a year now... So off we go into the the lives of  Vane and Seth! Happy Blogging to the three lonely followers that I have lol!

I changed my blog name because...

Well this blog was originally called ravished by paranormal books but Ive decided to change the name because even though I read books constantly, I've had a problem keeping up with  reviewing them and that really isn't fair to any of the writers plus I don't have that many followers. So I've decided that even though I probably will still gush and drool over my paranormal reads; I also want to gush, rant and rave about my progresses/dilemas  as a NEW writer. I just started working on a new project which is still unnamed but hopefully I'll find time inbetween working a full time job, raising to very enthused and active boys ages 6 and 2, and fitting in a bunch of books to read. But thanks to alot of the people that I follow on here and on H.P.'s writing club I feel like I can tackle this new project (probably not as fast  as they tend to do) but I am will to try this out!

Review For Chicagoland Vampire Series

SOME GIRLS BITE-
Sure, the life of a graduate student wasn't exactly glamorous, but it was Merit's. She was doing fine until a rogue vampire attacked her. But he only got a sip before he was scared away by another bloodsucker—and this one decided the best way to save her life was to make her the walking undead.
Turns out her savior was the master vampire of Cadogan House. Now she's traded sweating over her thesis for learning to fit in at a Hyde Park mansion full of vamps loyal to Ethan “Lord o' the Manor” Sullivan. Of course, as a tall, green-eyed, four-hundred- year-old vampire, he has centuries' worth of charm, but unfortunately he expects her gratitude— and servitude. But an inconvenient sunlight allergy and Ethan's attitude are the least of her concerns. Someone's still out to get her. Her initiation into Chicago's nightlife may be the first skirmish in a war—and there will be blood.


FRIDAY NIGHT BITES-
The story of a young heiress's initiation into the dark society of the Chicagoland Vampires continues...
Ten months after vampires revealed their existence to the mortals of Chicago, they're enjoying a celebrity status usually reserved for the Hollywood elite. But should people learn about the Raves-mass feeding parties where vampires round up humans like cattle-the citizens will start sharpening their stakes.
So now it's up to the new vampire Merit to reconnect with her upper class family and act as liaison between humans and bloodsuckers, and keep the more unsavory aspects of the vampire lifestyle out of the media. But someone doesn't want peace between them-someone with an ancient grudge...


TWICE BITTEN- 
Shapeshifters from across the country are convening in the Windy City, and as a gesture of peace, Master Vampire Ethan Sullivan has offered their leader a very special bodyguard: Merit, Chicago's newest vampire. Merit is supposed to protect the Alpha, Gabriel Keene-and to spy for the vamps while she's at it. Oh, and luckily Ethan's offering some steamy, one-on-one combat training sessions to help her prepare for the mission.
Unfortunately, someone is gunning for Gabriel, and Merit soon finds herself in the line of fire. She'll need all the help she can get to track down the would-be assassin, but everywhere she turns, there are rising tensions between supernaturals-not least between her and a certain green-eyed, centuries-old master vampire.


HARD BITTEN- 
Chicago is beset by supernatural tensions, and Merit-vampire protector of a safe haven called Cadogan house-is worried that the humans will be reaching for their pitchforks any minute. It doesn't help that yet another vampire rave is broken up by the mayor, and a new inhibition- reducing drug is circulating through the community.
It's up to Merit to put her house in order-literally. And if that takes getting a little blood on her hands, so be it.


DRINK DEEP-  (COMING NOVEMBER 1, 2011)
In the fifth entry in Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series, with the city in turmoil, the waters of Lake Michigan turn pitch black—-and Merit must turn to friends old and new to find out who's behind this spell of the darkest magic before it's too late.




This series was highly recommended by the members of HP's book club and I have to say I'm so glad I listened. I was totally ravished by the story which  seduced me from the first paragraph and enticed me to continue reading well into the wee hours of the night. The plot is wicked! I instantly fell in love/annoyed by the characters (I know its conflict of emotions hehe) Merit is a kick-ass chick who doesn't take no for an answer, head strong and honor bound. Ethan got on my last nerves ever second that he could. But I must say I might be a bit of a masochist *evil grin* because in the end he dug his way into my heart and stole my breath away every second that was possible. His charm a witty banter were total turns-ons. The sexual tension combined with all the action in the books kept me on my toes. Chloe Neill is AWESOME! When I read the last page of "Hard Bitten" i was an emoitional reck and with full body sobbs. ( I know sounds crazy right) But she sent me on a readers emotional roller coasters and not alot of writers have that gift. I truly can't wait till "Drink Deep" comes out! Until then I'll have to mend my broken heart with tons of chocolate and alcohol hehe. All in all I give this series 4 1/2 stars!
