In honor of my new release, “Dark Past”, I’ve got a few facts. (I decided to spare you all the “buy my book or I’ll cry spiel. LOL!)

1. The story was inspired by “Back to Bataan”.
It was one of my Dad’s favorite movies.

I had a rough 2012. LOL!
3. Originally, Jezar Ryser’s story was supposed to be next
But Bud Masterson kept talking…..
4. And the Teran Series isn’t in order.

With it’s genetic “perfection” and crazy dictator.
6. The Pinnacle is featured again

and Bud

“DARK PAST” by Jennifer Leeland is LIVE!

Once Julianna had hoped for a wonderful life married to the man she loved. But betrayal, civil war and death intervened and she was forced to let her lover go to save the people of Teran Four. Ten years is a long time, and now she is the dictator’s lover and the Voice of Davida—a genetically enhanced tool of the reigning powers.
Bud Masterson has escaped the brutal prison of Teran Four and he’s back to find the family he’d thought dead, murdered by the dictator who destroyed his life. It’s a trap, and Bud finds himself at the mercy of the woman he once loved and who betrayed him.
But nothing on Teran Four is what it seems and Julianna and Bud will discover that everything they know about their past and their future is an illusion. As erotic heat flares between them, to save their people and possibly humanity itself, Julianna and Bud will have to find the truth that lies in their dark past.

Inside Scoop: This book contains branding, collaring and everything else you’d expect from a sizzling D/s relationship.

Manhattan by Sara Bareilles

You can have Manhattan
I know it’s for the best
I’ll gather up the avenues
And leave them on your doorstep
And I’ll tip toe away
So you won’t have to say
You heard me leave

You can have Manhattan
I know it’s what you want
The bustle and the buildings
The weather in the fall
And I’ll bow out of place
To save you some space
For somebody new

You can have Manhattan
Cause I can’t have you

Ahhhhh

You can have Manhattan
The one we used to share
The one where we were laughing
And drunk on just being there
Hang on to the reverie
Could you do that for me?
Cause I’m just too sad to

You can have Manhattan
Cause I can’t have you

And so it goes
One foot after the other
Til black and white begin to color in
And I know
That holding us in place
Is simply fear of what’s already changed

Ahhhhh

You can have Manhattan
I’ll settle for the beach
The sunsets facing westward
The sand beneath my feet
And I’ll wish this away
Just missing the days
When I was one half of two
You can have Manhattan
Cause I can’t have you

Bye bye

Change by Churchill

I’m starting to realize that this is ME and it’s okay. Even if someone wants me to change. I’m going to quit worrying about what other people think.

To make you want me I can fabricate the truth
I’ll give you easy it’ll keep me destitute
You hang me up on the line, hang me out to dry
And you got nothing to lose

You’ve got the story all made up inside your head
You write me out of it and use your words instead
You hold me just out of reach, but you keep me pounding the beat
To take all the soul you can get

You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change

You take no chances and you give no other choice
You fill your pockets and you empty out my voice
You use the shallow and old, trade the heart for the gold
You sell the song for the noise

You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change
You want me to change, change, change
You want me to change

Thirteen Reasons I luuurve my New Website

1. The Banner
Melissa Blue made my banner and found the awesome picture.
2. The New Book Pages
Crystal Jordan created series pages for my books.
3. The new colors
I love the bold black and red.
4. The new style
My previous website was good, but I had requested something that wasn’t too much of a statement since Jennifer McKenzie was more sensual than erotic and Jennifer Leeland was very erotic. This is better.
5. It’s Pretty Clear What I Write
Every time I release a book, I get an email saying “Does this book have BDSM in it? I hate BDSM.” With this website, I think the answer will be clear.
6. I love the user friendliness
7. It’s even awesome on my phone
8. I love the ease in which I can edit it
Though I leave the more complicated stuff to my Mistress. Er-I mean my WEB Mistress.
9. Crystal did it SO FAST
I was so lucky she was able to do it.
10. It desperately needed an update
I’d had the same website for six years.
11. It’s Pretty, Shiney and NEW.
12. It’s encouraging me to keep going
Kind of like buying a cute pair of jeans when you lose weight.
13. It’s made by Crystal Jordan.
I love EVERYTHING she does.
