Lie to Me Blog Tour Winners
Good morning everyone! I'm writing this morning from Glitch Con, in Arkansas!
Just wanted to pop in and let you know that the Blog Tour winner has been drawn, and the other winners from various blogs are also in my inbox.
I don't want to get into doing anything with the credit card while I'm using a hotel's unsecured network, so I'll post all the winners and email everyone privately late Monday night when I'm home.
Just wanted to keep you informed!T...

A Closer Look At Sasha Zablosky
Good morning!
One of the things that I found most compelling about writing Lie to Me was Sasha herself. Trying to envision what Alexei's betrayal must have been like; how she could accept and what would be necessary in her life to create that acceptance. And forgiveness... could she harbor such dark things in her own past that could generate forgiveness.
I truly believe that with her work in the FSB, she would understand a lot more than we common people would.
I've had deep conversations with former servicemen. I have friends who are intimately connected to former SEAL members, and I have been lucky enough to get a first-hand peek at the mentality, the conversions in thought that these folks have made in terms of line of duty. There's a broader perspective...

News, News, News!
Good morning, everyone!
I have exciting news to share with all of you! Several little bits actually.
First, who is this new face on the blog you'll be seeing here and there? That's Tiffany, my assistant. Be nice to her, she hasn't grown her fangs yet :)
If you look at the reality of my publication schedule -- I've had a book out almost every month so far, and will have a book out every month through the end of the year -- it's getting harder and harder to find time to do anything but meet deadlines. The blog's purpose should be to entertain you, and some of the things that aren't so "personalized" she'll be taking over. Or at least stepping in here and there when I get into a log-jam. She's got a great sense of humor, we share many of the same tastes,...

The pleasant friction sent another bout of delightful shivers surging through Sasha’s body. She dropped one hand to his waist, plucked his shirt free, and slipped her fingers beneath to explore his warm flesh.
“Ah, Sasha,” he murmured against her temple. “Tell me you don’t hate me.”
Her hand stilled at the base...

Sneak Peek - Lie To Me, Chapter 1
Hi all! We're back this week with more LIE TO ME -- my July 3rd release as Tori St. Claire, from Berkley Heat. I had to take a brief hiatus there with a guest appearance on the Claire blog, and since I'm posting to both, I didn't want to spoil the surprise for anyone, so to speak.

For this week, I have another quip from my July 3rd release, LIE TO ME.

Dropping to an almost inaudible whisper, her voice washed over his body. “Have you ever been in love, Alexei?”
Danger. Combustion imminent. Alexei covered the sudden trip of his heart with a harsh chuckle. “Love’s not an option in my line of work, princess.”

Taken From Lie To Me, Coming July 3rd!

Since Moscow, I’ve only ever wanted you.
Alexei wanted to believe Sasha’s pretty words more than he had ever wanted anything. That fierce desire scared the shit out of him too. Because he knew she was telling him lies, and if he let them take root, she’d steal a part of his soul he couldn’t ever reclaim. A part no woman had ever touched before. He’d made sure they couldn’t.

Sneak Peek at Lie To Me! - Pt. 1
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope your holiday weekend was fun -- I thoroughly enjoyed mine.
If you follow my Claire Ashgrove blog, you know that every Tuesday I post teasers of my books. I usually don't post the Tori St. Claire material there, but given that LIE TO ME's release date is rapidly approaching -- July 3! -- I'm featuring excerpts for the next few weeks. This material will be added onto the website within a few days of posting as well.
Since this is where they are supposed to go, I'm also doing the same thing here. And oh is it nice to not have to worry about a content warning!
By the time the release date...
