<br />
POWER TOOLS, people! and not just battery operated ones, ha!<br />
<br />
it's not a lot of fun renovating on my own, though, so my parents often come to help me in my house because they're retired, and they both love fixing things up as well.<br />
<br />
recently i've been working on a boudoir. it's going to be a place where i can do my hair and make-up, where my shoes and scarves and nailpolish all have a place to hang out. i want lots of fun art and, of course, a shelf full of my favorite books right next to a comfy reading chair.<br />
<br />
so after tearing off all the trim, the electrical, the doors and plastering all the damaged spots (my house is old!), we painted, installed all new trim, new doors, new electrical, new lighting, crown moulding, blinds and a curtain rod. yes, i know how to use the air compressor and nail gun.<br />
<br />
the room is almost done. all that's left is to organize the closet and bring in the furniture.<br />
<br />
did i happen to say i bought an antique vanity dresser with a swivel mirror? no? so i probably didn't mention, either, that i stripped the ugly brown paint off it and painted it bright magenta with black hardware and branches and birds.<br />
<br />
it's magnificent. i'll post photos soon!JulieDestryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635253939379618301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610819269665864150.post-46993405954503336252013-09-23T22:50:00.002-03:002013-09-23T22:50:49.670-03:00holy hotness<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">those who know me even a little are aware i'm an avid pinterester (totally just made up that word) but i have a lot of personal friends and family who follow me on there and i don't like to melt their eyeballs with cocks and pussy. but i always felt a little restricted, like something was missing from my online life. so i finally caved this week and joined tumblr. honestly, there is some dirty, dirty stuff out there. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">i LOVE it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">i've taken down the silly little man page i had going on, because seriously people, tumblr is where it's at. if you don't like pure eroticism, if you don't like man-man-girl, and if you don't like lots of nudity, <u>do not go there</u>. go to my pinterest pages, <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/juliedestry/you-belong-in-one-of-my-books/" target="_blank">you belong in one of my books</a> or <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/juliedestry/writing-these-are-my-characters/" target="_blank">these are my characters</a>, instead!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">if you *do* happen to like all those things, you're going to be tickled! and turned on. ha!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">so, <a href="http://juliedestry.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">tumblr </a>on in to sexiness ;)</span>JulieDestryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04635253939379618301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610819269665864150.post-20890957065642896002013-02-21T07:33:00.003-04:002013-02-21T07:33:39.225-04:00i can't even...<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">what the..? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">there's no proof, but i firmly believe that, sometime in the middle of 2012, i fell into a time-eating wormhole and i've only recently emerged from it, only to find that i somehow lost months and months and months.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">yeesh.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">at any rate, my feet are now firmly planted back on Earth and i'll be making infrequent posts here again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">for a quick update, the story previously known as Lawnmowers and now tentatively titled Opposing Currents is slated for release in early 2014. i am stoked about this story, people! Sam and Markus and Faye have pretty much ripped my heart out, but man was it worth it.</span><br />

<br />
There’s no better place for a bachelorette party than Key West, Florida.
Jackie and her accountant friends call in sick and escape wintry
Chicago to celebrate in the sunshine, but an unexpected twist breaks up
the party. On her own for a weekend in America’s least inhibited city,
Jackie meets a man who makes her heart do a tropical dance. Mitchell is
handsome, charming, and knows just where to touch her. If he looks a
little familiar, the thought is quickly lost on the hot sands.<br /><br />Mitchell
finds Jackie equally irresistible as he romances her on Blue Bottle
Beach, but he has no idea she should be in her cubicle in Chicago
balancing the sheets for one of his many companies. What will happen
when Mitchell and Jackie eventually look past their attraction to
discover he’s her boss? Will a hot weekend in Key West still sizzle in
wintry Chicago at the corporate Christmas party?<br />

<i>Sometimes, the dark exposes more than it
hides...</i><br />
<br />
As a news anchor, Kass needs to show the
world her conservative side, but underneath her public persona is a woman who
longs for physical connection. When an invitation to visit a sex club arrives
in her inbox, she jumps at the chance to indulge herself in an evening of hot,
sweaty sex with a stranger—no strings attached. What she finds instead is a man
who shows her that secret fantasies can become reality, but only if she’s
willing to take a chance.<br />
<br />
Finn's a man whose mojo has hit rock bottom.
After the crash and burn of his last relationship, an anonymous sexual encounter
is just what he needs. Although the goal for the night is simply to give them
both pleasure, he discovers that he may be willing to give something more…<br />
<br />
Kass is scared to risk revealing her
identity to the man who just took her beyond her wildest expectations, no
matter how much he tempts her. But
Finn’s determined that their scorching passion has a chance to see the light of
day.<br />

Lucki Stevenson spends

back to town, Lucki wants to forfeit the game of love completely. Sam broke her

success as an instant parent, and possibly as a husband--but first he’s got to
convince Lucki that he's not the heartbreaker he once was, and that good guys
do finish first...</span></div>

sending him. Rebuilding his family ranch takes up all of his time, and he
honestly doesn’t think anybody would want to be with him, what with the scars

Roxie Turner finds herself up to her neck in trouble when her lifelong
nemesis, Georgia Collins, is discovered buried in the town’s landfill.
To make matters worse, with her characteristic Southern sass, Roxie has
been saying she’d kill Georgia for more than twenty years. In fact, she
listed the ways to do the woman in, constantly reminding prominent
citizens of her intent. It was all a joke, or so she thought. But the
joke turns on her as, suddenly, other dead bodies begin to pile up, all
murdered with a technique from Roxie’s list.<br />
<br />
Enlisting the assistance of handsome hunk, Greg Norris, Roxie’s sister,
Trixie Frye, comes to her aid, bent on uncovering the killer and the
truth. Can they find out both before Roxie goes to the big house?<br />

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Kelly O’Connell never thought real estate was a dangerous profession,
until she stumbled over a skeleton in a dead space in an
early-twentieth-century Craftsman house she was transforming into a
coveted modern home in an older urban neighborhood in Fort Worth, Texas.<br /><br />From
that moment, she runs into teen-age gang members, a manipulative
ex-husband, a needy and single pregnant friend, a cold-blooded murderer,
and a policeman who wants to be more than her protector. As
free-spirited as the chocolate-peanut-jalapeño candy she craves, Kelly
barges through life trying to keep from angering her
policeman-boyfriend, protect her two young daughters, pacify her worried
mother a thousand miles away, and keep her real estate business afloat.
Too often she puts herself in danger, and sometimes it’s the girls, not
Mike, who come to Kelly’s rescue.</span></div>

At eighteen, Amanda Riley got her first lesson in love when Jacob
Henderson broke her heart. But then she made the biggest mistake of her
life – she ran off and married his younger brother.<br /> <br />Ten years
later, she’s divorced and moving back to her small hometown. She’s made a
name for herself in the cutting horse industry. That should count for
something… Right? But decade old mistakes won’t be easily forgotten by
everyone in town. <br /> <br />When Amanda and Jacob are thrown together to
help an abused horse, old desires ignite a<span style="font-size: small;">nd past truths are revealed.

<i>More than anything…. </i><br />
<br />
Taylor Drake wants her life back. She’s returned to her family home,
suffering from the agoraphobia that has plagued her since she was
brutally attacked in her apartment. Once a confident and successful
photographer, she now cowers behind closed doors with a loaded pistol.
She fears her attacker will find her and finish the job.<br />
<br />
The last assignment chief deputy Adam Gillespie wants is to babysit the
spoiled celebrity Taylor. He blames her father for his family’s
financial ruin; and her brother, Wil Drake, is the incumbent candidate
for Foster County sheriff, Adam’s dream job. Wil is out of town, though,
so Adam can’t afford to let anything happen to the sheriff’s sister.
Complications arise when someone murders the man he arrests for stalking
her.<br />
<br />
Adam learns things aren’t as they first seem. Taylor is hardly a
pampered prima donna, rather a warm, intelligent, yet troubled woman
whom he grows to love. Also, there are holes in the history of the feud
between their families that need filling in. He has to reconcile the
feud or any future with Taylor is doomed. But first he must stop the
cunning killer who wants her dead.

Kitty Carter is used to getting into strange situations when she chases
her cat, Arthur. But this latest escapade is just too much! When Arthur
chases a mouse at the marina while she's doing research for her book,
she follows him down the dock and onto a yacht. Not entirely her plan,
since she falls down some stairs and hits her head, and wakes to find
herself out to sea. And she and Arthur aren’t the only ones on board!</span><br style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: small;">Sitting in front of her parents’ house in a U-Haul truck at midnight,
Amy Mann decides it’s time to break it to them that she’s divorced from
her husband and moving back home with her seven-year-old son, Toby. As
Amy settles into her hometown, she has a plan to get out of debt, get
her college degree, and put her life together.<br /><br />Enter Captain
Riley Pennimon, local firefighter and superhero to Amy’s son. Riley is
kind, brave, and civic-minded. The captain does not fit into Amy’s
putting-her-life-together plan, and yet he is way too good looking
without a shirt. Much to Amy’s chagrin, Toby decides that Riley is just
what they need for a happily-ever-after.<br /><br />But, can Amy make peace
with the demons of her mistakes and let the captain rescue her? And…can
Riley let go of the pain of his past and grab onto the family he’s
always wanted?</span></div>

success." ~Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer and Romance Author, Suzanne Barrett</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Elise Drummond has never forgotten her first love-and never expected to
learn via the grapevine that he was back in Brookville and living with
her mother. Sam McCade had broken her heart, and she wasn't about to let
him destroy her mother's as well. A quick trip back to Kentucky to lay
down the law and she could back to the safe life she'd built for herself
in Kansas City. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When Sam McCade went on the run in the middle of
the night to save his sister from her abusive husband, there was only
one person he could trust to help them, Hannah Drummond. He expected the
local gossips to have a field day with his return to Brookville, but he
never dreamed Elise would roll into town to check out the situation for
herself. And he certainly never imagined that in order to save
his sister, Elise would be willing to sacrifice herself as the pawn in a
dangerous game of catch the monster when his brother-in-law decides to
take back what he wants no matter who stands in his way.</span></div>

<i><b>The Emerald Isle Trilogy, Book One</b></i></div>
<br />
Mara, the
daughter of an Irish clansman, was raised to believe the men of the North are
heathens - murderous pagans without a moral bone in their bodies. Despite warnings
of the Northmen's raids, and the growing threat of another incursion, Mara is
continually drawn to her favorite place - the River Shannon.<br />
<br />
Dægan
Ræliksen, a wealthy chieftain from Norway's frozen fjords, secretly discovers
Mara at the water's edge. He is charmed by her beauty and sensuous grace. As
the days pass, his contentment with watching her grows thin. He can no longer
deny his desire.<br />
<br />
Mara and
Dægan come face-to-face in a time when every Irishman is being called up to
fight against the Nordic foreigners. In these times of upheaval, can Dægan make
peace with Mara's father and acquire the woman he treasures? Can Mara move past
her fears and find the noble man within the savage?<br />

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Fumbling,
he attempted to untie the sash on her robe. Of course, the damn thing
had managed to tie itself into some ridiculous Gordian knot of satin
that seemed to constrict tighter with every jerk. </b></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>His

<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Her
fingers, the same ones that left paths of sizzling heat wherever they
skimmed his body, slapped his clumsy paws away. Within seconds the impossible

When an invitation to visit a sex club arrives in her inbox, she jumps at the chance to indulge herself in an evening of hot, sweaty sex with a stranger—no strings attached. What she finds instead is a man who shows her that secret fantasies can become reality, but only if she’s willing to take a chance.<br /><br />Finn's a man whose mojo has hit rock bottom. After the crash and burn of his last relationship, an anonymous sexual encounter is just what he needs. Although the goal for the night is simply to give them both pleasure, he discovers that he may be willing to give something more….<br /><br />Kass is scared to risk revealing her identity to the man who just took her beyond her wildest expectations, no matter how much he tempts her. But Finn’s determined that their scorching passion has a chance to see the light of day.</b></span><br />
