I've been so busy with work and home life, I've not gotten much writing done this week. It's hard to believe in another 6-8 weeks and fall season will be upon us. The heat we dish about will soon be a memory we want to recall some of when the snow and colder temperatures come calling. To this end I post a picture entitled Dreams of Summer. What I wouldn't give to be able to skinny dip in the neighbor's pool before tomorrow's heat index hits.
Red Hot received another review from Happy Ever After Reviews:
5 TEACUPS: "This was a fantastic book to read. Being so intuitive with the characters, I found myself laughing and cheering for the perfect couple. Not only did the characters intrigue me, they were assertive to exploring love and romance without boundaries. Solara Gordon crafted a playful and exciting erotic contemporary romance that was a page-turner. There were so many great aspects detailed in the book. First, the humorous dialogue kept me satisfied throughout the book. Second, the creativity and storytelling process dented a lasting impression. And last, the relationship between the characters emphasized an honest sexual intensity for each other upfront, and there was no stopping them. This made the plot so much more enjoyable to read. From the first page, there were incredible sparks between the characters and it followed through to the end."-- Lorien, Happily Ever After Reviews

Now what you all been waiting for! More on Shape Shifter Blues. I decide that each chapter needs stanza from a song as the header for the chapter. Rather than borrow from that which is already out there---I've been writing my own. Below are the two songs I've gotten done. The band is back stage in our story and Maggie (our heroine has made her entrance into the story). Please note these songs are original pieces by me and no music is written for them. They're not available for reprint at this time.

NO MATTER
Girl, I’ve loved you for so long
Time slows when you’re on my mind
I wish I knew why I care like I do
No matter how I try
There’s a vision of you inside
We’ve never met
Yet, I’d know the moment I saw you
You’re the one who has my heart
My mind refuses to accept
You aren’t as real as I’d like
No matter how I try
There’s a vision of you inside
Others try to see what I keep hidden
They don’t understand
Love has chosen you for me
Do you see me in your dreams
Awaiting you each night, to hold you to me
Nothing has ever felt so right
I want you beside me here
Please help me banish these blues
No matter how I try
There’s a vision of you inside
Others try to see what I keep hidden
They don’t understand
Love has chosen you for me
Until our paths cross
I’ll keep you close to my soul
Knowing from the start
You’re the one I want
The girl who stole my heart

How many pieces of my soul
Have I lost trying to find you
Why must you hide
Eluding my attempts
To bring you home to me
So many roads I’ve traveled
Looking for you
Wondering if you’re lonely too
Can you stop running
And let our heats unite
Found not lost
Girl, I need you here with me
Our hearts entwined
Love around us
Home where the two of us belong
Home is where the heart is
Mine is with you
Please come and find me
Girl, I can’t deny it
I’m lost without you
Found not lost
Girl, I need you here with me
Our hearts entwined
Love around us
Home where the two of us belong
Please come home
Find your way to me
Lost is not where I wanna be
I’m so lonely
Come and stay with me

Solar, congrats on your splendid review!
Creative-cool about using a stanza from a song as your chapter headers, especially songs you wrote. They seem perfect for your story.
I've always wanted to try a pen-hand at writing songs, but I'm not a musician and currently I don't know one to find out if the lyrics would even work for a song.
Thanks, Savanna. I'm not sure either on the music aspect . I can hear the melody and see them singing the song. Even down to the arrangement through out. Alas, I no longer play. Maybe someone will want to take a crack at it.
