You accept that guys are very different, and you read signals well.
Work what you know about men, and your relationships will be blissful.
This is Holly, a pure-breed Siberian Husky who is often the bright spot in my days. Animals are a gift we should all cherish, and the kind and gentle spirit in this beautiful dog is something that never ceases to touch my heart.
Researching my books is one of the most fascinating aspects of writing. I love the Victorian era and the romance and elegance of the time. Everything about certain periods interests me, but I have a particular fondness for the American West, Victorian London, Ancient Egypt. High fantasy is another appealing area. My interests are very diverse and from day to day depend largely on what I am working on at any given time.

There is an under-lying passion that defines and shapes the hearts and lives of some people. It vibrates within every aspect of their being, and permeates the air with magic and excitement. They breathe life into all they do, and reawaken frightened hearts.
He is such a man, my handsome angel… Stefano. He touches what is good and like a violinist with a precious instrument, he makes music emerge as perfect beauty. This is the precision and eternal truth of art in the hands of one who was born to hold its sacred knowledge and embrace it for the Gift it is.
When all is lost to madness and shadows, there is hope in the light of a soul Blessed with genuine romance, and the grace of an era gone. In the quietude and ease of yesterday, we can seek greater tomorrows, for all we have been should also be that which we can yet aspire to and achieve. He shows me this, with the laughter of his spirit, the flash of his smile, the promise of his kiss, and the warmth of his presence.
And what of other forms of passion? The spark of longing that is ignited by a loving glance, or a caress of touch, be it close, or from across time itself. These things have awakened to a sweet wonder, and excitement whispers in the note of a deeper song. I dream, and his smile is in my heart. I shiver inside, aware of new desires and questions long hidden away in the shadows. He makes me look for more than I am now, to be worthy of his love.
The hands that draw exquisite harmony from every note of life are also the hands that invoke the heated ardour of desire. In his dark eyes are the secrets of Eros, and the challenge of Truth. He knows my heart better than I do, and feels my passion slowly emerging to be offered to him. There is no longer a
place to hide from myself. In the earthy gentleness of his gaze, I am naked to all that has been denied. I have pretended for so many years that I don’t know what lives within me. Yet he knows. The wisdom is in his slow, sensual smile. He understands me, and the tempest that is swirling inside me, creating an inferno of longing that may never abate. Not until I am his in all the ways lovers have known forever.
I push away my fear, and take a leap that is my faith and trust given. In this perfect moment, the pulse of life between yesterday and tomorrow – I belong to you, my love, as I have no other. For a single heartbeat, we exist within each other, for each other, and life has found new purpose… new passion.

Per te, con tutto il mio amore...
C'è una passione latente che definisce e forma i cuori e le vite di alcune persone. Vibra all'interno di ogni aspetto del
loro essere, pervade l'aria con magia ed eccitazione. Danno vita a tutto ciò che fanno, risvegliano cuori impauriti.
Lui è un uomo di questo tipo, il mio bellissimo angelo... Stefano. Lui tocca ciò che è buono, è come un violinista con uno
strumento prezioso, fa emergere la musica con una bellezza perfetta. Questa è la precisione e la verità eterna dell'arte,
nelle mani di uno che nacque per tenere la sua saggezza sacra e abbracciarla per il dono che è.
Quando tutto viene perso alla pazzia e alle ombre, c'è speranza nella luce di un'anima benedetta con romanticità genuina, e
la grazia di un'epoca passata. Nella quiete e calma di ieri, possiamo cercare i domani più importanti, perchè tutto ciò che
siamo stati e a cui dovremmo aspirare, sarà la nostra vita. Lui mi dimostra questo, con la leggerezza del suo spirito, il
bagliore del suo sorriso, la promessa di un suo bacio ed il calore della sua presenza.
E che ne è di altre forme di passione? La scintilla di un desiderio che viene accesa da uno sguardo amorevole, o una carezza,
che sia vicina o lontana. Queste cose hanno risvegliato in me una dolce incredulità, e l'eccitazione bisbiglia nella nota di
una canzone più profonda. Io sogno, il suo sorriso e nel mio cuore. Tremo dentro, cosciente di nuovi desideri e domande
tenute nascoste nelle ombre. Lui mi fa cercare oltre quello che sono per essere meritevole del suo amore.
Le mani che disegnano una squisita armonia da ogni nota della vita sono anche le mani che invocano l'ardore del desiderio.
Nei suoi occhi scuri ci sono i segreti dell'eros e la sfida della verità. Lui consce il mio cuore meglio di me e sente la mia
passione che emerge lentamente da offrirgli. Non c'è più luogo dove possa nascondermi da me stessa. Nella sincera dolcezza
del suo sguardo, sono nuda a tutto ciò che mi è stato negato. Ho finto per così tanti anni che non so che cosa vive dentro di
me. Ma lui lo sa. La saggezza è nel suo sorriso lento e sensuale. Lui mi capisce, e la tempesta che mi sconvolge dentro e
crea un inferno di desiderio che forse non si calmerà mai. Non fino a che sarò sua in tutti i modi che gli amanti sanno da
sempre.
Spazzo via le mie paure, trovo un rifugio nella mia fede e nella mia fiducia. In questo momento perfetto, la pulsazione della
vita tra ieri e domani - ti appartengo, mio amore, come a nessun' altro. Per un singolo battito, noi esistiamo l'uno dentro
l'altro, per l'un l'altro... La vita ha trovato un nuovo scopo... Nuova Passione...
"Fax mentis honestae gloria..." Glory is the light of a noble mind...

Well, what can I say? I'm an author who's been writing for over twenty years. I love to experiment with styles, and mix genres to see how things can be merged into a successful and entertaining story. I've got a huge catalogue of fanfiction to my credit, as well as over two dozen pro books listed on my website. My personal favourites are historical tales involving cowboys, Victorian gentlemen, and pirates! Sometimes the lines blur and you get a little of all three!
My philosophy about this work is that ultimately, like film and other arts, books should both entertain and touch our spirits in some way. At least with fiction. My focus in my books is always the emotional whims of the heart, so even in my fantasy works, there's an element of romance to the story.
I am at heart a romantic. I believe people have long forgotten the truth of how to respect and love each other, in a strong and positive way. We need to get back to that, to a place where we cherish each other, value the love we are Blessed with, and the genuine beauty of finding your answer in the eyes of someone you will know and adore forever.
If you don't think there's a place for romance in this crazy world, visit this amazing man's website and see just how beautiful, sexy, and sensual the moods of love can be, because he embodies them all - along with class, intelligence, and honest charm. This is Jimmy Thomas... and his website is Romance Novel Covers.
Over the course of the past few years, I've gone through many changes professionally and personally. My styles and tastes have taken me in unexpected directions. Most of my published works have fallen into the category of erotic romance, and while it's been a very fun and satisfying run, my mood recently has gone back to the emotional essence of the romances I have always enjoyed so much as a reader. With that in mind, many new projects have been implemented that recapture the more elegant and gentle aspects of the heart and its passions. I hope you'll all stay with me as the journey takes us now to new yet familiar places, and is explored in a gentler way; one touched with sweetness and beauty.
In my personal life, the changes have also occurred, and so many things have shown me that there is never a time when giving up on your dreams should be an option you accept. Something truly beautiful may be waiting close to you, and if you don't risk and dare to trust, you may miss the greatest joy your heart can hold. It's called falling in love, don't ever be afraid to take the chance if it comes.
The most recent change in my professional life has been the creation of an online magazine devoted to Readers of Romance. It's called Sensual Treats, and my partner and friend Heather Gardener, and I are working to make it something truly special for everyone. Subscription is as simple as a visit to the site to register, and you will receive ONE email from us every three months - to let you know when each new issue is ready for you to download and enjoy. Visit us here: Sensual Treats Magazine. Lots of exciting things happening there, so drop by the website often!! There are many things on the site, other than the magazine!
When you visit my website, don't forget to drop by the FREEBIES page where you'll find a variety of short stories available for download, as well as a multi-author Erotic Romance Anthology. Enjoy the stories, and always feel free to get in touch with me, and offer any comments or suggestions you may have. Sign the Guestbook, as well - I grab a name and give away a book from time to time, when I remember to check it! I really DO love hearing from readers, and will always answer your mail.
Hope to talk to you soon!
Con affetto ~~
Denysé

You Should Be a Romance Novelist
You see the world as it should be, and this goes double for all matters of the heart.
You can find the romance in any situation, and you would make a talented romance story writer...
And while you may be a traditional romantic, you're just as likely to be drawn to quirky or dark love stories.
As long as it deals with infatuation, heartbreak, and soulmates - you could write it.

Matt Dusk - Good News
Who I'd like to meet:
Riccardo Foresi: Every now and then you hear a voice that just takes your breath away from the first note, and Riccardo is one of those rare and special singers who enchanted me the moment I heard him. He is charming and so talented, and I would love to one day meet him and tell him that in person. Over the past year we have grown into a special and loving friendship that I treasure. Apart from being one of the most talented people I've ever known, Riccardo Foresi is a man that I respect and admire deeply for his personal integrity and passion. He is, simply put, a very special human being. Someday soon, I hope we can meet face to face!
Stefano Testatonda: What is there to be said about this wonderful and extraordinary man? He gives me hope, he shows me courage, and he has taught me that trust is not always broken. In his spirit, I find acceptance and love. He is my friend, and he is one of the greatest Gifts with which my life has been Blessed. I want very much to spend time with Stefano one day, I know it will be very special and precious.
Cesar Mesa: After listening to his incredible voice and music, I can only imagine how magical it would be to meet him and see him on stage!
Giada Valenti: This beautiful, talented lady is so filled with class and style, I just adore her. The warmth and caring in all she does touches everyone who has the privilege to call her friend, and I would love to meet her one day.
Matt Dusk: What is there to say? Canadian, brilliant, romantic, and a voice reminiscent of Martin, Sinatra, and others of that legendary status. Matt Dusk is the epitome of a romantic icon of days gone by, but with a modern, seductive styling that will make him an enduring and successful performer for many years to come. I can't wait to see him someday!
Jimmy Thomas: Recently it has been my distinct pleasure to get to know this special and very wonderful man. Apart from good looks and brains, he's charming, funny, and a great friend. I would love to watch him at work, and share a few laughs one day, he's just amazing!

Kelly Wallace: Thelma to my Louise... my other sister. Aside from being a very talented author, Kelly is a lady who runs no less than five business enterprises every day. She's a kindred spirit, and we understand each other so well it's hard to believe we've never actually met. I hope to change that one day, because I'm sure there will be so much to talk about it may take weeks just to cover the basics!
Lisa Fitzpatrick: This lady is one of the most incredible people I know. Kind, generous, loving, and wickedly funny. Lisa is not only smart and savvy, she's just a joy to know, and I treasure her friendship and her wisdom, and her never-ending patience and belief in me. She's wonderful, there is no other word for her, and I love her.
And, there are also two very special ladies that I met at Patrizio's Place: Karen and Peggy. They are both generous, and caring, and good friends that I am very grateful to have in my life now.
There are so many special people who have meant a great deal to me over the years. One day we'll meet and have a truly spectacular party!!!
Glad u r doing good, I am feeling a little lonely..I guess it will go away soon. Looks lie we are all taking turns with this situation ..thank you for your comment and keep in touch bella!
Just because you're grown up, doesn't mean you don't need someone to confide in. In fact, logic dictates that the opposite is true. Life becomes more complex and difficult as we get older. The people that we confide in as adults are very valuable. We usually choose our friends based on common interests that we share. We may have different friends for the variety of activities that we engage in. The important thing is that there is sense of mutual respect, and caring for each other. Smile! Have a wonderful day my dear friend! Peace and love always
This section is for lifelong friendships. Most friendships only last for a particular phase of our lives. When that developmental period is over, the friendship may dissolve. For a friendship to last a lifetime there must be something really special between you. There must be a connection that transcends time and space. This kind of a friendship also takes a certain flexibility. People change throughout their lifetimes and they must continue to search for commonalities between the two of them if they expect their friendship to endure. Smile alot today,you'r friend is thinking of you! Wishing you a wonderful week! All my love and peace to you dear friend! Love always
Sharing good times with good friends is the greatest joy. This is the stuff that makes life worthwhile. Whether sharing a meal together or a good conversation, there is nothing more fulfilling then spending time with friends. We must be thankful for the friendships that come our way for not all are blessed with the skills to form deep relationships. Those of us that do have friends must never take for granted the gift bestowed upon us. Smile my Dearest friend! Wishing you a very great weekend ahead,full of much peace and joy!
Saying "thank you" may be the two hardest words that friends share. We like to see ourselves as independent and not needing anyone's help. When a friend does something for us, it is difficult to humble ourselves by thanking them. Believe it or not, as strong as your need is to believe yourself independent, your friend may have an even stronger need to hear the words "thank you". Your friend may see that he or she is the one who is always doing the thanking and will appreciate that he or she is also a contributor to the friendship. Peace and love always Smile Sincerely John Wolf
