Word count confessional…..

Well folks, this week was not nearly as productive writing wise as I would have hoped.  I’ve been totally swamped doing what seems like a million little things that need to be done so that we can get both of our houses sold, and on top of that I have been working on edits for FOUR upcoming novellas!

I am not without good news though… I did manage to finish my previously untitled Mermaid novella.  It is now entitled “Neptune’s Seductress”.  I need to run through one last edit on it before I will be ready to send it off for consideration.  When I started this story it was meant to be a stand alone novella, but as it turns out it will instead be the introduction for a full length novel. I have already started on the sequel with a working title of “Neptune’s Harem”.  Stay tuned for details!

Hopefully next week I will have better progress to report!

Wanna see me flash you????

Hey all! I just received my first set of edits today for “In The Heat Of Battle” from my rocking editor Jesse Damien at Whispers Publishing.  This short erotic menage romance will release from Whisper’s on April 28th.  I hope to have a cover to post soon, but until then I thought I would post my original flash fic story that inspired me to write the longer novella.  This little flash piece was originally published ages ago (2000 I think) in the now defunct Amoret Flash Fiction Journal.  In fact it was the winning entry for some contest or another they hosted.  I hope you all enjoy the story, and if so head on over to Whisper’s in April to pick up the much longer and hotter novella it inspired!

In The Heat Of Battle 

c 2000 Inga Mahn

Michelle was on a mission of war. She had chosen her weapons carefully, and researched her enemies’ weaknesses. Now, her target was within striking distance. All that was left was to take her victory.

“I hope you enjoyed yourself.” She purred to her prey, as they sat in the intimate bistro.

“Mmm…” Was the woman’s reply, as she slowly finished her glass of cool white wine.

Michelle took the glass, letting her fingers linger over those of her victim’s. Heat pulsed through her, searing her nerve endings. The sensation shook her to her core. She couldn’t allow herself to become distracted. The time to strike was only moments away.

At ten exactly Michelle took her prize. Leaning close to the sultry brunette, she brushed her mouth against the womans lips. She hardly noticed her ex-boyfriend entering the restaurant, she nearly forgot about her mission. As the woman who had stolen her man opened her lips and pulled their bodies together, passion burned her senses.

Her plan had been so simple, steal the woman from the man who had been stolen from her. Well, maybe peace was better than war she reasoned as the three walked out of the restaurant, bodies intertwined.

2 new releases from loveyoudivine!!!

I’m thrilled to have signed with loveyoudivine for the re-release of several of my previously out of print short erotica titles!!! Here are my first two releases from loveyoudivine….

Back To Sadie’s – Inga Mahn

Laura Cage is a wife, a mother, a business woman, and a respected community leader … with a huge secret. Every so often she feels the overwhelming need to go “Back To Sadie’s”.

At the Nevada brothel, Sultry Sadie’s Ranch, she becomes Lacy. She loses all inhibition, she is whoever the men who visit her wish her to be … she is a whore. “Lacy’s” deep seeded desire to be used in every possible way by the brothel’s paying customers is more than met on her visits. However, only when the line between her life as Laura and her fantasy time as Lacy is blurred can she finally experience the ultimate satisfaction she craves.

Excerpt:

Thick dust rose up like a fog behind Laura’s small rental car. She was only minutes away from her destination and every second increased the erotic tension that was building within her. She could feel her arousal running down her thighs and onto the seat of the car. She wore no panties; she never wore panties once she got on the plane to begin her weekend adventures.

As she caught site of the flashing red lights on the small pink house, she began the mental preparation that had now become like second nature. She was no longer Laura Cage. She was no longer a wife, no longer a mother. She was no longer a respected businesswoman, no longer a city leader. As soon as she stepped out of her car she was nothing more and nothing less than one of Sultry Sadie’s girls. She was whoever the customer of the moment wanted her to be. She was a whore.

Criminal Desire – Inga Mahn
$2.00

In the course of her latest LAPD assignment, Laura has had to put her undercover skills to the test as she plays the role of a stripper / prostitute at the “Butterfly”, a club owned by one of the cities largest drug lords. Thanks to the backup provided by her partner Vick, all of her “acting” has been kept to the stage, that is until something goes terribly wrong and she finds herself nearly nude and trapped in the trunk of a car driven by one of the top men in the drug cartel she has been working to take down. Once she is discovered in the trunk, somehow the line becomes blurred between the role she is playing, and her own unexpected sexual desire for her now captor. The raw sexual heat that ignites between them is downright criminal!

Within moments the bike was rumbling it’s way down the streets of one of the seedier parts of the city. As her initial fear began to pass, Laura became painfully aware of her nearly bare sex pressing against Mike’s denim clad backside, and her taunt nipples threatening to make there way out of her dress. The longer they remained on the bike, pressed together in a vibrating mass, the stronger her awareness of her building arousal became. By the time the bike eased to a stop her nipples ached to be touched, and her pussy was wet and ready. They both removed their helmets and without breaking the closeness of their bodies, Mike turned to face her.

“So Laura, do you think you might like to come up to my apartment?” His voice was thick, laced with desire, and even in the limited light of the street lamp she could see the intensity in his icy blue eyes.

“I think I do.” Was all she managed to say. Her breath was already raged, and her body responding as if she had engaged in a long session of intense foreplay.

“You think so? Well, maybe I can make you sure.” Without another word he stood, turning and lifting her with him, he moved them towards the near by wall. His hands were immediately around her bare waist, massaging, exploring under the small cover the garment did provide. By the time his mouth found hers, his fingers were already squeezing and pulling at the hard peaks of her breasts.

His kiss was pure fiery lust. His tongue parted her lips immediately, sending shock waves of pleasure to her toes. She began her own exploration of his manly hard body as they continued to kiss, her hands, as if they had a mind of their own, groped at his back and chest. When she felt the cold metal of a revolver tucked into the front waistband of his jeans her whole body stiffened in fear.

“What’s wrong?” Mike asked in a raspy voice, as he stepped back breaking their embrace.

Her lips and mind felt like putty as she tried to speak.

“Nothing, uh, I just thought I heard something.” She dumbly mumbled as she stepped back a foot or two herself. The fact that she had let her desire so take over her actions was thrust into her face the moment she touched the powerful gun at Mike’s waist. Her face burned with self loathing as she ached to return to his arms even now. How did she keep forgetting this man killed and exploited people for a living, and probably even enjoyed it?

“Well, if you heard something then we better get the hell out of the street.” He grumbled, and again grabbed Laura by the hand, this time dragging her up the stairs and into his small apartment.

I’ve decided that as a tool to keep my self on task, that I will start posting at least once a week my progress on all of my current WIP’s…. yes I did say ALL!

I normally am working on between 5-15 projects at any given time…. eeeeekkkk, that sounds scary even to me, lol!!!

So, without further ado, here is where I stand on the projects I plan to work on this week….

“Kiss Of The Flame” – Dragon shapeshifter erotic romance novella (it seems to think it’s a novel though, so you never know…..)

12148 / 18000 words. 67% done!

Untitled Mermaid erotica novella

892 / 10000 words. 9% done!
