Hi, everyone! I’m so excited to be here
today to talk about my new SilkWords release, Online Mating!
Before we get into the ‘mating’ aspect,
let’s discuss online dating for a moment. I will admit, I’ve done it. Many
times. In fact, I’m doing it right now. While I’m typing this, I’ve got my
Tinder app open and I’m perusing the latest arrivals. Let’s face it, dating in
the 21st century has gone to the interwebs. There isn’t as much of a stigma
attached to online dating as there once was because EVERYBODY’S DOING IT.
Really. That person sitting next to you? Ten bucks says they’re doing it too.
Unless it’s your spouse. Then probably not.
The thing I get the biggest kick out of is
the profiles guys create in order to entice their female audience. Here are some
of my favorite bits and pieces, translated by my fabulous friend, fellow
author, and dating advisor, Margaret Ethridge.
Nevertheless, I look for my Juliet and my Rose of Titanic, the woman that knows what it takes to keep it real and is ready to love and be loved. Translation: I want a woman who would rather drink poison than live without me and knows the value of a good solid door.
I will want to know EVERYTHING about a person, especially your past, family, circle of friends, just as I expect mine to be shared. Translation: I’ve already plumbed your Facebook, G+, and Twitter profiles, but that isn’t enough for me. Give me your Social Security Number so we can be truly intimate.
I like gadgets, and gear, and anything that isn't really the every day run of the mill product. Translation: Is seeking woman with her own vibrator. Batteries not included.
I like to research and read up on different hobbies, enhancing my knowledge of certain areas of interest so I can apply them later on. Translation: I own a dog-eared copy of ‘Sex for Dummies’.
Speaking of sex, Online Mating is all about it! So many dating sites out there are focused on helping members find love through communication and common interests, but what about sexual compatibility? In her quest to find the answer to that question, my heroine, Sydney Montrose, stumbles onto a site called Sexcapades.com, and that’s where she’s matched with Charlie.
Here’s an excerpt from Online Mating:
She was sick of
dating. All that ‘getting-to-know-you’ crap, the fake smiles and feigned
interest. Up till now she’d been taking the traditional route to a relationship
right along with every other sucker. Yes, she wanted to find love. Eventually.
What woman didn’t? But all the other sites out there focused on finding that
love through communication and common interests and blah, blah, blah. Sexual
compatibility, in her honest opinion, was a critical, too often ignored
component.
There was a reason why they called
it the ‘lusty thirties’. Okay, maybe that was just her. Once she reached that
particular milestone, though, something inside her shifted. It was a sexual
awakening, punctuated by a voracious desire to ‘get off’ that drove her batty
most nights. She crossed her legs, feeling that familiar tingle between her thighs
that she could never quite shake. An overwhelming urge to visit the ladies’
room took root, but she mentally glued her ass to her seat. She was fed up with
servicing herself.
A smile flitted over her features as
she recalled her last failed relationship. Trevor was a spanker. He also played
the trombone in the same orchestra Sydney played the piano for. Proximity could
be a pain in the ass sometimes. He’d whispered to her during rehearsal one
evening that she gave him a tromboner. That should have been a red flag, but
one glance at his trousers and all sensibility was lost. Until she found out he
was doing the second chair piccolo player. Cheeky bastard.
Since then she’d been through the
entire woodwinds section and most of the brass, in part to seek revenge against
Trevor, but mostly because they were the only guys she knew. Quite frankly, she
was tired of dating men full of hot air. She was done with guys who were all
talk. She needed action. Sexcapades.com,
she hoped, was the answer.
Thanks so much for having me here today!
Hope everyone gets a chance to read Online Mating!

After joining a sexual compatibility site, Sydney finds herself at a coffee shop awaiting her first date.

Excerpt:
Excerpt:
Sydney giggled at
the absurd man in blue jeans and clown make-up. She had to admit, he had a nice
little wiggle to his walk. Maybe he was a wannabe Wiggle. Despite all his
quirks, one thing was undeniable: Charlie was a good guy. If she could get past
the make-up and the alarming amount of energy, he could even be the guy. Plus, all that energy could be
put to excellent use.
Her fingers beat out a steady rhythm
against the tabletop. She’d always had an ear for music, but ever since her
first piano lesson it was nearly impossible to keep her hands still, especially
when she was anxious. She eyed the other patrons in the coffee shop, anyone and
everyone but the man sitting at the table next to hers.
“You going for it?”
The little voice in her head
flat-out forbid her to do so, but she was stubborn and prone to curiosity. Once
more she turned in his direction. “Excuse me?”
“You and John Wayne. The hook-up.”
She took a sip of her drink.
“Eavesdrop much?”
“You can’t really blame a guy. I
mean, when you see a gorgeous woman sitting at a table with a clown, you kind
of want to know the whole sordid story.”
She grinned as she lowered her mug.
“It’s not so sordid...yet.”
He took a drink from his own mug
then folded his hands on the table. Dark, penetrating eyes fixed on her. “I
think you’re going about this...hooking up thing all wrong.”
“Is that so?”
“For starters, you shouldn’t dress
so well for the first meeting.”
She glanced down at the summer dress
she wore and the cute, strappy heels. “No?”
“Don’t flirt. Don’t smile. And
whatever you do, don’t look at him with those eyes of yours.”
Those very eyes lifted to his in a
hurry, sparkling with awareness. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were
trying to sabotage my…date.”
“That’s exactly what I’m doing.” A
slow smile followed his words.
