Hello World…it’s been Awhile

Happy Monday!

It’s been about a year since I’ve blogged. After taking on a paying job, I just couldn’t do the writing anymore. Which made me sad, sad, sad 😦 . I’m still working, but I’ve cut my hours back so I have some time in the middle of the week to get back to writing.

To celebrate, I’ve got some treats this week! Firstly, Prime Candidate is free at Amazon today! This novella is exclusively at Amazon, so fire up your Kindle and get it!

Prime Candidate (Running Mate Book 1) by [Aster, Evelyn ]

I’d love to make writing my full time job. Please pass on my book titles to your friends! I hope you had a great year in the world of books, and I’m so glad to be a part of it again!

xoxox, Evelyn Aster

Coffee Coffee Coffee

For lunch today I had coffee. Okay, I put other stuff in it, but it was really the buzz from the coffee that I needed. I sent a pic to my editor and she wanted the recipe, so I thought I would share it with all of you too!

Luscious PB Chocolate and Coffee Frappe

In a blender place an espresso shot or 1/3 cup coffee, 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup and 1 cup ice. Blend until smooth. Pour half into a glass, drizzle in more chocolate syup and top off with the rest of the frappe. Enjoy!

But I’ve been in a bit of a writing funk recently and thought a change of venue would do me good. So I hopped over to Michael Thomas Coffee Roaster late in the afternoon and had a mochacinno. MMMMM. Richer than just a mocha:

Why am I feeling my writing is becoming an excuse for my coffee drinking?

 

My Brain is Burning

How many of you are over committed right now? It seems like a May tradition for me since my school days. When I saw this coffee pic, I thought I should dedicate it to all my readers running on coffee right now. I’m really trying not to make myself a cup. I should go to bed at a decent hour and get up to work. But my schedule has slipped to more night centric again.

I’m not sure these nails are going to make the final cut for Nails for a Billionaire, but they remind me of coffee–little coffee bean jewels 🙂

Good luck getting everything done if you’re in crazy juggling mode! I wish you well.

The Beautician and the Billionaire 6: Scene 4

When we last left Charisse and Conor, Conor was seducing Charisse into a morning tumble in the sheets. Thanks to all of you who purchased Episode 6 over the weekend to find out what happened!! I’m still smiling about it this morning! Here are the plot points you missed if you haven’t read the sex scene: Conor intentionally did not bring her to climax, but she was so good he promised her a week in Puerto Rico. Enjoy!

When Charisse finally showered and dressed, she made her way to the kitchen, hoping there would be something for her for breakfast. She wasn’t expecting a full bacon, eggs and hash brown meal, but a bagel would be good or at least a cup of yogurt. Continue reading
