Sasha White

RACE TO WICH MOUNTAIN is being made!!

Okay, I might be dating myself here, but I was a huge fan of the Witch Mountain movies from Disney when I was a kid. My Mom would take us because She too liked them, and was I ever glad. Not only does this new one keep hold of the same storyline, but The Rock is in it! I’m going, that’s for sure.

So, does anyone else remember the movies form uhmm 30 years ago? LOL ANyone else think it loosk awesome?

Have you picked up Lauren Dane’s UNDERCOVER yet? if not, you should!

Finally, a futuristic erotic romance that has it all.

Characters I could love…and uhmm drool over. CHECK

A world that made me wish I could time travel. CHECK

Hot sex full of emotion and style. CHECK

In UNDERCOVER Sera is the main character, and she’s stuck between an old flame, Ash, and a new one, Brandt. Not only is this story a menage story, but it’s a BDSM one. Dane does not hesitate to try and do it all, and she pulls it off. Undercover is Exciting, Emotional, and Arousing!

If you like original and erotic stories, then you’ll love UNDERCOVER.

Wow, so many holidays and wierd days off in a row, seeing too much of my family - it’s all added up to one big brain-fuck. Yep, it took me a while to figure out what day it was today.

And if that wasn’t enough to get me going, my phone rang and it was this…“Hi, this is Tammy from “Leave Britney alone” and we have a petition we’d like you to sign that encourages the permanent termination of Britney Spears.” CLICK

OK, obviously some kids still not back in school yet are bored. However, it’s not the prank phone call that gets me, it’s the “joke” It’s the term permanent termination. Maybe it’s because I live in a world where friends have been killed by stupidity and bigotry and judgemental people who think that their opinion is more important than another persons right to live the life they want to.

I’m not a huge Britney Spears fan, but I do have a lot of her music on my iTunes. It’s great to work out to, and sometimes to write to (MY PREROGATIVE anyone?). Sure, the woman has made a lot of mistakes, but you know what? So have I, mine just haven’t been broadcast to the world. That prank call, that turn of phrase really bothered me. I just don’t think anyone’s ‘permanent termination’ is something to joke about.

So, anyway, onto more cheerful things… I’m having home made chicken nachos for breakfast.

OH! And While I was ignoring my blog, Vanessa Jaye’s wonderful free read became available from Samhain publishing. Be sure to check out THE WOLF THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS It’s another short one that will have you grinning, and feeling good.

I’m using the new year as an excuse to start a bunch of new projects. Projects that I believe will keep me both happy and busy. Busy is good for me. Some people are more relaxed and seem to get things done when they have their own time. Not me. I tend to be better when busy, work better under pressure, and am more happy and productive when always busy. So I’ll be keeping busy.

However, I am suspicous enough to not want to spill the beans until I have confirmation of them going forward, which I’m sure will happen one by one. One thing I will tell you is that I’ve been working on a story. Yep, writing again, or should I saw re-writing an old one? That’s all I’ll say for now.

I’m looking forward to the New Year, how about you?

Just a heads up, I’ll be back to blogging regularly after January 1st, but for today, if you want, you can visit me over at the Novelist Inc blog, where I wrote about Doing It My Way.

Okay, so I’m not completely away…but I did mention I’d do some Slim Camp holiday Treat tips.

Here’s what I made for CHristmas Baking this year.

I found both recipe’s here and tweaked them a bit:

Cornflake Wreaths

1/2 cup butter
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp green food color
4 cups corn flakes
red hot candies
silver dragées

Melt butter, add marshmallows, stirring until all marshmallows are melted. Add extracts and food coloring; stir until it is a uniform green color. When mixture is smooth, add corn flakes; mix well but gently so as not to crush the cornflakes. Form into wreath shapes on sheets of waxed paper, decorate with red cinnamon candies and silver dragées. Let cool.

Now, I used Hot tamales instead of Red Hots, (I like the chewyness, plus I found them in the dollar store. *grin*) I also used regular sprinkles instead of silver dragees. They’re smaller, and in my mind that meant less sugar. *shrug*

Next up was:

Chewy Chocolate Eatmore bars

3/4 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1-1/2 cups mini marshmallows
3 cups rice krispies
1 cup salted peanuts

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt together the honey and peanut butter and bring to a boil. Stir in chocolate chips and marshmallows, stirring until smooth. Add the cereal and peanuts. Blend well and remove from heat. Pour into a lightly greased 9×13 inch pan and pat firmly with spatula. Let cool slightly and cut into bars before hardening.

I used all natural honey, and low fat peanut butter. I made one batch with rice krispies (like the recipe calls for) and one batch with just peanuts, no cereal.

These are not “low calorie” recipes. but I like them because they don’t have any added sugar (Yes, the have honey and marshmallow, but hey, it’s not that bad) Plus, peanut butter, and peanuts are protein, and I used bran flakes for the cornflakes. (Nobody can tell by taste, because you also have almond extract, and they’re supposed to taste nutty and such.)

So, Tastey, somewhat healthy treats for the holiday season that are easy to make, and use minimal dishes.

Happy Holidays!

PS: If you want to see me, I’m over at Novel Thoughts Today

OKay, so I said I wouldn’t be back until the new year, I had to come back to share this link.

MAKING MERRY is a free read from Samhain publishing, written by the wonderfully talented Raine Weaver. You MUST go read this. It’s short, (take you 5- 10 minutes to read) and you’ll be grinning the whole time.

Happy Holidays!!

Just a heads up note to y’all, that I’m pulling back from blogging until January.

I’ve had this blog for almost 5 years now since I started writing, and while I love it, I am feeling the need to back away for a while. I’m hoping that the next couple of weeks off will be enough, and I’ll be back in January with much energy and spirit.

You’ll still be able to find me chatting on the always fun WICKED WRITERS CHAT LOOP. If you haven’t joined, you should! Just tell them I sent you.

Also, guest bloggingon the 13th of December at Jennifer’s Random Musing…where PRIMAL MALE is their Book of the Month for December. You read PRIMAL MALE, and on December 30: they will be holding a Discussion of the book where you can share your thoughts, and ask questions.

December 23: I’ll be at the Aphrodisia blog

December 29: I’ll be at the NINC blog.

If you want some Holiday Slim Camp Tips, i’ll put them up as a final post for the month late tonight or early tomorrow.

Have a great holiday season, and I hope to see you around the web, and back here in January!

PS: Don;t forget you can always stay up to date on my news with my WHITE HOT Newsletter

Greta has an interview with me over at herI don’t want to waitblog.

Rachelle Chase has a great contest post up at the Aphrodisia Blog today. You can win an iPod or a book deal…what would you like win?

My Prerogative is a Recommended Read at Joyfully Reviewed. “Sasha White has soared to the top of my to-buy list. My Prerogative is a highly-charged sexual romp that doesn’t skimp on the emotions. The characters are so real that I felt as if they were part of my circle of friends, and I liked them.”

And Rista Tompkins at The Romance Readers Connection had this to say: “This was a fabulous story! There was foreplay between the characters, which always livens up the expectations of readers but is often lacking in erotica novels. The characters were believable, and utterly suited for one another. And Sasha White’s writing style made this reader wish the novel would never end. Definitely an erotic novel to keep on your shelf!”

Lynn Veihl’s eSpecial Master Of Shadows is releasing today, and if you get it before January 6th, it’s only $2.99! You can read more about this exciting story of the Darkyn here…

I’m a writer who does actually use things I’ve seen , done or heard about in my stories. And as a waitress /bartender for almost 20 years, that covers a lot of ground.

Yet, I’ve never written a book on waitressing. The idea has played in the back of my mind for a few years, usually when I’m at work and getting frustrated with customers who are clueless. I’m thinking something along the lines of How to be a reasonable customer for Dummies might be a good thing.
Tips would include things like: ~ Look around you. If the place is full, and you only see one waitress, try to have a bit of patience.
~ When the server repeats your order to you, Listen! There is a reason why they do it…so they make sure they heard you correctly and order the right thing!
~ Read the menu. If you have an allergy to tomatoes, and the Taco Salad says it has tomatoes, then ask for no tomatoes. Don’t order it, then try to blame me for not being psychic enough to know about your allergy.

Then again, the people who need to read that sort of book probably wouldn’t because they are so clueless they already think they’re great.

So maybe something like The Waitress Diaries, or Tales from the Kitchen (except I’m not a cook, but Tales from the Service Area doesn’t have the same ring to it.)

Those are non-fiction ideas. I could go the fiction route and creat a character and give her many many of my, and others, experiences, btu I’m not sure if that would interest people.

Who knows, just thought I’d throw it out there.
