    I'm in the writing cave
    I'm trying to finish up a book I started a year ago and never finished. I'm really excited about the story and the characters, in fact they are rapidly becoming my favorites, but for now, I'm just going to say, for anyone who read Body, Heart and Soul, it's Darius' story. :)

    So if I'm not around for the next week, that's why. I need it subbed before NaNo starts on the 1st! Woohoo!!

    How about you all, anyone doing NaNo?

    Is anyone watching Dancing with the Stars?
    Who do you think will win, who do you think is going home tonight and what did you think about poor Marie fainting last night?

    I loved, loved, loved Cameron and Edyta last night, I thought they were fabulous! I hope either they or Jane Seymore wins, but in secret, I'm also pulling for Marie. ;)

    So. Cal Fires
    My heart and prayers are with my family and life long friends who all still live in the areas of these fires. This is the time of year for wild fires there and they are always horrendous and scary, scary things, but this year's fires are being particularly brutal. Please keep safe and know you are all in my prayers.

    3 Great Reviews for a Healing Passion!
    I'm thrilled that this little story is getting so much positive praise. I wrote it at a very difficult time in my life and I put a lot of my heart into it. Thank you so much Stacey, Scarlet and Valerie, I'm humbled and honored that Connor and Natalie touched you so deeply.


    Be prepared to feel a gamut of emotion when reading the short story A Healing Passion. I laughed, cried, felt joy, extreme sadness and ecstasy all within a few pages. Samantha Lucas has taken a wonderful story of a woman in the midst of pain and turned her sadness into satisfaction in the arms of a sensual male...
    Ms. Lucas pulled me into the story with a talent that I embraced. This short has a wonderful storyline and characters that pulled you into their life. Oh, and I will never look at a Popsicle the same again. 5 stars Stacey Landers ~ Just Erotic Romance Reviews


    A Healing Passion is an intense love story of two wounded individuals who find healing and solace with each other...A finely drawn story full of sensual love scenes and emotional highs and lows, A HEALING PASSION is well worth the time spent. Samantha Lucas is an author I will put on my “watch” list. 5 Ribbons Scarlet at Romance Junkies

    Ok, readers. Get the tissues ready for this one, because you are going to need them. Ms. Lucas has written not only a very sexy, erotic story with some toe curling love scenes, but a story that will hit your heart and squeeze the life out of it. ~ 5 hearts from Valerie at Love Romances and More

    Coming Soon to Siren Publishing

    THE SEDUCTION OF CASSIDY FLINT
    by Samantha Lucas

    [Contemporary] Temptation becomes seduction. Seduction becomes passion. A man afraid of love. A woman afraid of passion. Can they build a life that lasts forever?


    My contribution to Flash Fiction Sunday last week at the Liquid Silver blog

    Kayla maneuvered through the crowd feeling her own anticipation in the night air. Arriving at the stage, she pushed her way to the front. Remembering the night she’d spent in his bed this time last year, she could barely contain her desire to repeat that erotic night.

    The lights came up, the music blared, making everything electric. Left side of the stage, long dark hair, fingers seductively manipulating the strings of the Fender, the embodiment of all her fantasies.

    His eyes scanned the crowd until they met hers, his slow sultry smile revealed twin dimples and exactly what else she’d hoped to see.

    He still wanted her.


    We have winners!
