I tried to make the title like A Walk on the Wild Side….sorry if it failed miserably.
WIPs – works in progress. These are always knocking on my door. So many ideas with so little time. I have my idea folder waiting paitently for me to visit.
There are a few in the works. One I’m excited about is sci fi set in the near future with a time travel element. I’m a Terminator and Aliens fan. Mix that with Gone With the Wind and sex and I’ve got a hot combination.
Here’s a little blurb and I'd love to hear what you think about it.

Her fear ripened and Trinity had a burning urge to leave. Run. Get the hell out of there. She heard the sound again, a metallic clicking and whir. She glanced around to find its origin. A flash through the trees followed by a green beam of light swept through the brush.
What the –
Then she was face down in the bushes, her skin being torn by the brambles and the weight of something big crushed her into the earth.
“Shh. Not a sound.” The whisper in her ear was harsh, deep and utterly male.
Trinity struggled to turn and see this brute that knocked her to the ground but he held her fast. “Hey. Who the hell are you?”
He pushed her deeper into the underbrush and covered her mouth with his hand squeezing her chin tight. “I said quiet. And lay still if you want to live.”
Wasn’t that a line from some sci fi movie or something?
But Brute Man had her pinned. She couldn’t move if she tried and the tone of his voice screamed urgent. Something told Trinity to do as he instructed and she lay immobile beneath him.

Did it hook you? Let me know.

What a fabulous excerpt! This one sounds right up my alley and reminds me of a scene in one of my all time favorite books by Linda Howard. Like the heroine's feisty attitude too. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm definitely putting this on my TBR list.
Hi Karen,
So glad you like the excerpt. Linda Howard! I’m honoured, wow. I hope you enjoy the story and thank you for your kind word. My heroines tend to be fiesty 😉
Lol! Karen…I was thinking the same thing. You weren’t by chance thinking of Linda Howard’s Cry No More book? ‘Cause that is what I was thinking about. When the heroine first “meets” Diaz. Lol.
Oh my goodness Danielle!! That is exactly it! Doesn't this book have that same feel? Loved that book. Great job Cristal…obviously you have a winner here.
Karen and Danielle, I’m smiling with your comments about the comparison with Linda Howard. All I can say is wow. 🙂
U definitely know how to set up a scene. Great job!
Thanks Danielle! I’m sitting her trying to decide what else I can tease with……. Maybe something from Being Bound. It comes out next February. Let’s visit Black Phantom with Rourke again.
Hi Crystal~
This is not usually a genre I read, but Wow! I really liked the excerpt! I'd love to read more! 🙂

This story was really fun to write Jane. I can’t say where it is and whats happening with it right now but I hope it will make its way to the world eventually.
I hope it makes it too! It sounds like a great story! 🙂
~Jane~
If it does, I’ll definitely tweet and shout from the rooftops!
