To Be Loved

We have all heard the saying as famously sang by Marilyn Monroe and many others, “I want to be loved by you”. Most people want to be loved by someone, a parent, sibling, child, lover, friend or other relative or associate. 

Sure, most of us want to feel love from our parents. We want to know they are proud of us and love us just the way we are. When we are down, we want to be able to go to them for reassurance, pampering, and unconditional love. We also want our children to love us and to feel they can come to us for and with anything. It is wonderful when our children look at us with admiration and want to follow our example, assuming we have given them a good reason. Getting along with siblings is important to many, having camaraderie of blood relatives. Many of us find solace in friends, choosing to develop relationships with those who can relate to, understand, and appreciate us.

What many of us forget is to love ourselves. Don’t look to others for validation. Other people do not define you or decide your value. It’s great when people love you, but you are no less of a person if you don’t feel loved. Find out who wanted to be loved to the point of going to extreme lengths to get it – GHOSTWRITER, BY TERRY BIRCHWOOD. (Cassandra Allen’s Erotic Pen Name) - available in paperback and ebook all over the Web.

Ghostwriter - Chapter One Excerpt

ONE - TABBY

“Between your legs, I take my feeding of juices so sweet and filled with nectar. As we roll on the grounds, our bodies wrap in tasty spaces. Sipping from your nipples, standing at attention, tapping on, and brushing, my hungry moist mouth. Hands reaching for warm places as sweet melodies escape our sexually charged voice boxes. Feeding on memories, so sweet, and equally possessed by your essence.

Ghostwriter”

I could not help but ache in that special place, as I read the email. Star had a way of making me feel as if she was wrapped around me at this instance. I imagined her breath on my neck as she moved in closer to deliver her soft lips on my shoulder. I felt her hands as she reached down to stroke my hips into a slow, seductive dance of passion. All I could do was throw my head back, reach behind me, and pull her closer to me.

Her scent became my air as she whispered sweet melodies into my ear. She slowly reached around to my stomach and lifted my skirt as if she were unfolding a precious gem with such gentleness, steadiness, and anticipation. Her hand found its way to my playground, pulsating and craving the touch of her warm fingers. She unfolded my soft skin and began to touch the moist mound that awaited her stroke. “You feel delicious.”

The funny thing about Star’s email, it was not directed to me.

Emotions

Have you ever been willing to do anything to make sure a person understood the depth of your emotions? Have you ever crossed lines that you never imagined, because your emotions trumped your actions? Do you believe that people can feel you without you acting on your state of mind?

The premier novel ‘Ghostwriter’ explores emotion and emphasizes how passion determines action.  Secrets, lies, and dangerous plots frame a journey through the mysteries of the heart. Filled with hopes, dreams, nightmares, disappointments, inhibitions, and the range of expressions that shape us, Ghostwriter examines the decisions that result from the struggle between the heart and the mind.

I believe that we can sense more in the flow of time-space than with our five senses. All we have to do is be in tune with the whispers of the universe. Regardless of what people say and do, sometimes the inner voice knows what the outer surroundings falsely project.

Check out Ghostwriter and see what some characters are willing to do for love and hate. Delight in the erotica lesbian thriller that will keep you guessing who is fueling perpetual love, lust and betrayal.  See why people are calling Ghostwriter a scandalously thought-provoking, thrilling read. http://tinyurl.com/avnhsw6

Soul Mates

I feel you when I cannot see you. My blood rushes at the thought of you near me. I sense your presence when you are miles away from me. Your sweet smell lingers in the air, long after you have gone. My tongue dances at the dreamlike vision of you. I shudder as if you have touched me even though you are not in the room. I feel warmth as if you have brushed against me yet I know not where you are. My senses awaken at the slightest thought of you.

Have you ever felt any of these things? Have you felt like you connected with someone beyond the tangible world? Have you felt that you could communicate with someone beyond the five senses? Have you felt that distance and time could not sever a relationship with another person? Have you imagined touching another person only to receive word from that person almost simultaneously? Have you read each other’s thoughts, without a whisper? Has willing a person out of your head failed?

If you have experienced these things, perhaps – just perhaps, you have met a soul mate. A couple of people in my book, Ghostwriter, are consumed with each other. Find out who and how they deal with the connection that transcends time and space.

Dating - Boos and Booty Calls

Dating – Boos and Booty Calls

Some people believe dating is spending time with one person to decide if there is something long-term worth pursuing. Others believe dating is the act of fooling around with several people with no intent to commit to any of them. Some believe that dating is a necessary act to check out several people in order to filter down to a person of interest. Whether one dates to commit or enjoy no-strings abandonment, dating is usually a process whereby people sniff each other out. The dating season is usually the first step of a relationship unless a couple gets purely physical from the gate. 

I am in the process of dating. I was in a relationship for 17 years so as you will guess, dating is very different from long ago. With so many methods to communicate with people (i.e. video, email, chat, phone, in person), there is no reason that people cannot find a way to bond and stay in touch. People spend weeks online chatting, cooing and giggling; by the time they meet, they fall into bed feeling they already know each other. While hooking up through online means, people are also breaking up using social networks and because of social network posts. It is a fascinating plateau to find a boo and booty call.

No longer is the line, “I was not home to get your message” an excuse to miss an opportunity to communicate with a person of interest. The line will be met with “well, why didn’t you Skype me on your laptop?” or “You could have sent me a Facebook message from your cell” or “you could have plugged in a hot spot to reach me”. No longer is the wrong number or the nondisclosure of a number the method to keep people off your tracks, as they will find you through Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or whatever electronic means is necessary. 

In my novel Ghostwriter, you will read of characters that are dating and characters who want to date. Some are better at it than others are - lol. It’s  a world of shorter bridges so be careful what and who you do. Getting rid of people is no longer as easy as not answering the phone. Choose those boos and booty calls wisely.

At Your Best

Have you ever been in a relationship just because it was convenient or you didn’t want to be alone? Have you ever looked at your mate and grimaced; yet you remained in the relationship because you did not want to lose your home, the cash flow, or the car that you could not afford on your own? Have you ever clammed up when your partner touched you or have you envisioned another person so you could get through the sexual session?

If you answered yes to any question, you are guilty of depriving a mate of your best. Regardless of the reason or justification for your actions and behavior, you have performed acts against your spirit. When you perform against your spirit, things NEVER improve; they only worsen. 

I have heard countless stories of relationships where someone lost interest; and, I have been on both sides of the equation.  I have remained in a relationship due to emotional comfort, fear to start over, and fear of violence – but I have never remained for material things. I have walked away from everything on more than one occasion – sometimes leaving with just a bed or simply a suitcase – and not because it was all that I had as possessions. I did it because I would rather have my life and peace of mind than literally fight and brawl over material things. Some may think I am crazy (and some did when I walked away from everything that I built), but that is not the point of this post – to determine whether I left with the right amount of things.

The point is that I am willing to sacrifice to be at my best. When I am at peace, I have the greatest chances to perform at my best in all situations – on a business and personal level. That does not mean the sacrifice won’t bring tears, sadness, turmoil or loss – it means the sacrifice is necessary for growth.   To be one’s best, one must be tested, challenged, polished, refined, continually evolving and be willing to let go. Sometimes, letting go means letting go of the tangibles and holding on to the spirit. Some perceived comfort zones are merely stagnancy coated in emeralds; recognize them and be willing to trade them in for brilliance that attained when you are at your best. Several characters in my first novel, GHOSTWRITER, were not functioning at their best. Find out what happened to them.
