Happy Valentine's Day!
Valentine's Day calls for a stingingly hot and romantic message, so we (Jan Darby and Ravynne Sun) have collaborated on our blog entry. Jan writes contemporary erotic romps, and Ravynne writes to please your dark fantasy desires.
What Alice Wants features a lawyer and a chauffeur, a missing will and a mansion filled with sensual temptations. Sting of the Concubine explores a mystical, Egyptian-like empire and the bond between a foreign princess and the emperor.
How could such different writers collaborate? Well, we have at least two things in common: scorpions and a heat that's sure to warm you up on this holiday. The powerful metaphor of the scorpion burns through both What Alice Wants and Sting of the Concubine.
So on this Valentine's Day, be your mood adventurous and lusty, or dark and sensual, pick up an e-book and sample the delights inside. It's not too late to be stung by your own love scorpion.
Meanwhile, we have a pop quiz for you, and if you post an answer, we'll enter your name in a drawing, from which one winner will receive Jan's book and another winner will receive Ravynne's book.
True or False?
1. Scorpion bites are fatal.
2. Scorpion bites can cause a feeling of euphoria.
3. The first people to group the stars together to form the scorpion constellation is the Chaldeans, also known as the Babylonians.
4. Scorpions only live in holes and crevices in the ground.
5. When scorpions court, it is not uncommon to see them perform various rituals such as clubbing, sexual sting, cheliceral massage and mate cannibalism.
6. Scorpions make great pets.
If you think you know the facts, or if you just want to guess, post your answers as a comment. And check back later in the day, when we'll each be back with stinging excerpts, followed at the end of the day with the correct answers to the quiz and an announcement of the winners.

hoo boy! We've just moved to Texas, and we've learned the hard way about scorpions! these are my guesses:
1. False and true. Sometimes scorpion bites can kill you; it depends on the type of scorpion and the size and health of the person bitten.
2. False. The feeling scorpions have inspired in my dh (who's been stung three times now!) have been hell and damnation, not euphoria.
3. True.
4. False. Scorpions live all over the house, it seems. There was one on the handle of my four year old's backpack.
5. True. Just because it sounds all scientific-like =)
6. False-o-rama. Or, if you consider a frk'n scary wee beastie who can give you a sting that will paralyze one whole side of your body a great pet, then...true?
Scorpions? But that's not the question! The question is, are Jan's and Ravynne's books hot and amazing? Did anyone read those excerpts?

Wow! Who knew we had all these biology/entomolygy experts reading the blog?
Since I'm married to a Scorpio, I'm only interested in one type of scorpion. It's about 5'9", bald, has a fantastic sense of humor, and its sting ALWAYS causes euphoria.
Sigh.
