Please welcome T. Harrison to parajunkee.com . T. Harrison is an erotic romance author currently living in the south with her impish husband, two smallish men and one smallish boxer pup. She can often be found with her nose pressed to the screen of her Kindle, reading red hot erotica, nail biting thrillers or bone chilling horror and paranormals by the small halo of illumination created by her book light. She writes stave off the boredom of living in a small town. Her stories generally fluctuate from urban/contemporary to paranormal romance but, are always dirty.
Inspiration: What aisle is it on again?
Author, T. Harrison |
Yves Santiago is not your typical romance heroine. She's flawed. Hugely flawed. And she doesn't make it easy to like her. In my opinion, that makes her interesting. I wanted to give her all those seemingly unredeemable qualities that are usually attributed to the hero. My thinking was, if we can accept those flaws in a hero and forgive them, we should be able to accept the same qualities in a heroine...right?
Time and sales will tell!

Fresh off of a night of anonymous sex we join Yves Santiago on the curb for a cigarette. Yves is a self-proclaimed slut who vows to live her life as carelessly as a man and make no apologies for any of it--though her meddling mother and ex-fiancé seem intent on making it difficult for her to do so. She’s determined to avoid anything that looks even remotely like love and escapes most encounters with her heart and her pride intact.
Then she meets Elijah Weinstein…
Elijah saunters in like a dream proclaiming to be the next great love of her life--a declaration that Yves finds ridiculous, though it doesn't make him any less enticing. With his mossy green eyes, broad, sun-kissed shoulders and a mouth so sensual that it should have an NC-17 rating, Elijah Weinstein is damn near irresistible. She willingly accepts his challenge, certain she will be able to get what she wants without relinquishing her heart.
In her Closet Excerpt:
I pause on the sidewalk to light my cigarette, only slightly aware of the glares I receive from the Sunday morning worshipers trickling out of the church behind me. The first taste of mentholated smoke nudges me closer to wakefulness. I squint and rub my eyes against the bright, mid-morning sunlight. My lashes feel stiff and brittle from sleeping in last night’s make up. I don’t bother taking out my compact to survey the damage. I know it’s a complete wreck.
Why bother faking the funk?
I am making the quintessential walk of shame. That much is made evident by my attire--a large mens dress shirt and break-neck stilettos. I’m sure I was wearing a dress when I stumbled into the South Jersey apartment of the man who belongs to this shirt. An expensive Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress, to be exact. A twenty minute search amongst the discarded clothing at the foot of his bed ended fruitlessly. My only option was to make my escape in the first thing I found that made me decent. I’m thankful to at least have my underwear. There’s nothing worse than sitting bare-assed on a plastic subway seat.
Who knows what sort of communicable diseases you can catch that way?

The final lines of the excerpt made me laugh. "There’s nothing worse than sitting bare-assed on a plastic subway seat. Who knows what sort of communicable diseases you can catch that way?" I love reads with a bit of quirky humor.

Oh, what wouldn't I give to win a Kindle - but I could make do with a copy of author T. Harrison's book too. I mean, even in that tiny expert it is clear that she writes characters that are surely going to be memorable.
I was chuckling at: "I’m sure I was wearing a dress when I stumbled into the South Jersey apartment of the man who belongs to this shirt."...but by the time I reached "There’s nothing worse than sitting bare-assed on a plastic subway seat. Who knows what sort of communicable diseases you can catch that way?" I was literally laughing out loud!
Thank you SO much for this amazingly generous giveaway. Thank you Rachel/Parajunkee for your awesome blog, and thank you author Harrison for the guest post & giveaway! :D I don't have an e-reader, so this would most definitely be a dream come true! :D

Sometimes I think it might be easier to write to a well-laid-out formula. If only I could figure out which romance line I'd like to try my hand at.
Thank you for the fun today - you made me smile. What a wonderful giveaway opportunity, let alone good read - sometimes you just need that chuckle.

@Cara Powers, I'm surprised that you say that. I feel exactly the opposite. It's really difficult for me to write according to a formula. When I first started writing longer projects I did it with intentions to publish it at this or that place. I found that the work fell flat and most of all, I didn't find it fun to write. It didn't work for me. But, boy howdy, do I wish it did.
