August 10, 2009:“Your smile is contagious, but it’s not your smile I’m worried about. Sometimes, when I look at you, I’m forced to turn away. If I don’t, I’ll lose myself in your eyes. If I slip up and disappear there once, the consequences could be irrevocable. So I look away for now and hope when I don’t, you will at least blink….” Destiny Blaine
“I don’t look for trouble, I really don’t. But when I’m feeling a little frisky, I’ll be darned if I can’t find plenty of it..."
“Writing erotic romance gives a woman all sorts of experience. Maybe it isn’t hands-on, maybe it is. But considering the research involved for some books, an author who writes adult romances can never be called out as outright dull…”
"I'm damn good at some things."
Quotes from books recently added:
"When I stopped having fun, I moved on. He wasn't shocked or surprised. He gave me the freedom to spread my wings and fly, even though he knew my heart would never find its way home."
“One of these days, I swear I’m going to kiss a smile right onto those lips….”
“So there’s a little age difference. Biology says we’re just perfect. I’m a firm believer in science.”
“Admit it. You love my personality, my sarcastic wit, and what I can do with these lips. I ain’t bad lookin’ either.”
“There’s a true season for everything. A time to behave and a time to pretend you were intoxicated as hell when you didn’t..." Quote from Five Golden Rings, Destiny Blaine
“I have self-inflicted wounds. They’re scars you’ll never visibly see, yet they exist there all the same.
“Maybe I’ll just walk away but there’s not a lot of fun to be had when you take off running in the other direction.”
“You got a lot of reasons to be scared. I could very well be the best time of your life, the kind of woman you’ll never forget, the one who gives you moments you’ll never experience again.”
“Don’t ask me questions already answered by unspoken glances.”
“I won’t get a second chance like this. You might… but if you do, it’ll be years from now.”
“I’ve always believed in living in the moment and I’ll be damned if I haven’t had some delicious moments.”
“So I’m at the top of my game. The great thing is, no one knows it. When I’m at number one with no place to go but down, I don’t have a crowd waiting to watch me when I fall.”
“He doesn’t have a clue. Maybe you don’t either. Perhaps it really is a man-thing.”
“In this business, marriage is overrated. Romance is king. Lust trumps love and everybody still wants a happy ending.”
“It’s difficult to breathe around you. I can’t think a rational thought. I can’t live a sensible moment. I need to run like hell but if I do, I’d want you to follow right behind me.”
“I’m not going to mess up a good thing. There are some things that you take a pass on in life simply because if you don’t, you really stand to lose more than you’ll ever gain.”
“I’m not always sensible but I’m all heart. Get to know me and you’ll see. I love with passion, fight with fire, understand more than I let on, and feel more than you’ll ever know.”
August 15, 2009
More quotes from recent manuscript:
“Sometimes I just want to be alone. Yeah, I deserve a little me-time on your time.”
“Just because I think you’re cute doesn’t mean I want to bang you.”
“You might be good but there are toys manufactured that can certainly do it better.”
“He’s ten feet tall and swinging nothing but I-can-do-you-attitude.”
“I know when I'm good and I’m always darn good at doing you.”
Others from upcoming manuscripts: “There’s no way to live both ways. Either you’re as wild and free as a violent storm with the highest of winds or you’re not. Regardless of what you choose, you’ll never please everyone. Everybody won’t love you and it really doesn’t matter in the broad scheme of things.”“I’m too good to people. I don’t expect anything for it, nothing in return. But I’m also a bitch after receiving a few verbal bullets to the back. I believe in being ruthless when wounded and while I forgive, forgetting isn’t an option.”
“So you’ve made a few mistakes. You think you’re the first one? Live without regrets. Don’t worry about tomorrow and think of the past as a place you’d never want to go again because the future holds much more in store.”
“I’m married but I don’t believe in marriage. I was too young, too stupid, and full of too many happily-ever-after notions when I said ‘I do’. The only way to live happily ever after is to live in the moment. Run wild and free. Never hurt those you love but never instill false expectations. Let your family know who and what you are, what you stand for, and what you believe in. It’s the only way to live a happy life and it’s the only way to survive when you’re unhappy.”
“A writer bleeds from the inside, out. Sometimes, tainted and wounded words are truly beautiful.”
“I wanted to write books. Someone said I had a knack for romance but after my first editor ripped through my manuscript and asked for hotter scenes, I started to think I had a knack for something more than romance.”
“I don’t have a lot of skeletons in my closet because I don’t have a lot of guilt. I’ve carried the burden of true regret one time. I don’t have the strength to do it again.”
“I can go to bed with a stranger but will only love a select few.”
“I’ve returned from madness, barely escaped a hard right toward addiction, and had a brief flirtation with death. I don’t fear the unknown. I wait for it.”
“If you think I’m afraid of what you have tucked in your pants, you’d better keep them on.”
“She’s never been willing to compete with the good old boys club. Whenever she fell head over heels for one of those men, one of her old flames handed the new guy an ice-cold beer and made him the man of the hour.”
“I take my missed chances and try my best to find another new opportunity on the other side of the let down.”
“He’s been married to me for the better part of twenty years. He still doesn’t know I seldom eat chocolate, love yogurt more than ice cream, or absolutely hate red roses. I haven’t bothered to tell him. He hasn’t noticed. I guess some would call that true love.”
“You smile because you don’t have any other choice but to smile. Never let the world feel your heart break, see your tears, or hear your dismay. Smile and face off with a new day like you truly mean to have the best one of your life.”
“I believe in standing by the choices you’ve made regardless of whether you’re happy with them or not.”
“You make a lot of promises but there’s no action behind your words. I’m fresh out of reasons for staying but if I decide to pack up and go, I’m scared of hurting those I’ll leave behind.”
“My heart is in Mississippi. My money was left scattered about in Las Vegas.”
“She was the most unloved loveable person I’ll ever know.”

“The way I live my life is open and carefree. I want to be a rebel without a cause, a hellion without a direction and a woman who will be remembered for the friends made, the fun times enjoyed, and the badasses I never tried to tame but enjoyed all the same….” Upcoming book (Destiny Blaine)Movies

About me:
”In this business, it’s important to fly low and stay under the radar. Sit behind your computer and write stories, create magic...do what you’re paid to do. And never, under any circumstance whatsoever—GOOGLE yourself.”
Hey there. Thanks for stopping by my page. I’m Destiny Blaine and I write erotic romance and spicy mysteries. Have a look around and stay for a bit. I'm glad you're here.
About me? Hmm...ask and I’ll tell you (almost) anything you want to know. I love horseback riding, water skiing, tennis, and pretty much all sports. There’s a lot of motivation and inspiration found in watching some of those NFL players, let me tell you. Did I mention I love NFL football? When I’m not writing (which is rare these days), I can be found at a ballgame and we’re lucky enough to live smack dab in the middle of some great NFL-focused towns—Nashville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Atlanta, and Charlotte are all within a six hour drive. I visit the casinos a lot too and love casino craps and poker. Keep in touch!
My books are sold at the home site of each publisher as well as ARE, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, BookStrand, Mobipocket, and other third party outlets
Lili Booth, Marketing Director for Whispers created a book peek for Unspoken Requests. Check it out below
Unspoken Requests released early to third party outlets and it looks like it's going to make a run for the top with your help. Over at ARE, Unspoken Requests is already on the top 50 (Suspense/Mystery--#39--) out of nearly 2000 titles so if you can't wait to see what happens next in the Unspoken series, head over there and take a look!
OFFICIAL RELEASE DAY FOR this title is 1/30/2009

Love, betrayal, destiny, the ingredients connecting two men’s lust to their quest of the divine as Spirit, defeated by Flesh, falls short of creating Divinitas. From the ancient walls of Egypt, Us-Yri's sexual obsession for Set gets in the way of his destiny to ascend from ruler to god of the underworld. His Spirit returns as Mitra, Prince of the ancient Persian empire, to continue on struggling against his lust for Vayu in order to become the new shiny god of rebirth, judging the souls of the deceased. But only Shaun and Halifax in Celtic England will finally reveal the truth about Divinitas.

“SACRIFICE is not for the timid or weak of heart, it is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend Sacrifice.”
—Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
