Celebrating A Red Hot Winter Release For Lexxie Couper

Today we're celebrating Lexxie Couper's new release TRIPLE DARE, part of Samhain's Red Hot Winter Series.

Lexxie's not a deviant. She just has a deviant's imagination and a desire to entertain readers with her words. Add the two together and you get darkly erotic romances with a twist of horror, sci-fi and the paranormal.

When she's not submerged in the worlds she creates, Lexxie's life revolves around her family, a husband who thinks she's insane, a pony-sized mutt who thinks he's a lapdog, two yabbies hell-bent on destroying their tank and her daughters, who both utterly captured her heart and changed her life forever.

TRIPLE DARE - A Red Hot Winter Story by Lexxie Couper

Two men, one woman, one momentous dare.

Serious and determined, Joseph Hudson isn't Australia's businessman of the year for nothing. So now he's asking himself, how did he get lost on the side of a mountain in the Colorado Rockies - in the middle of winter - with night fast approaching? Three simple words. I dare you.

Fear isn't in Rob Thorton's vocabulary. Life is for the taking, and Rob uses both hands. Challenging his best mate to take an impromptu snowboarding trip to the U.S. is just the latest in a lifetime of dares. Besides, he has an ulterior motive for the trip. And a plan...

Park Ranger Anna McCarthy knows what trouble looks like, and it's written all over the two Aussies she first encounters in the ski lodge. Instinct has her following them onto the mountain, and sure enough, they end up needing her winter survival expertise. But not even her skills can stop her body from responding to the sexy muscles she finds beneath their ski suits.
Stuck in a remote cabin until the storm passes, the temperatures rise until all bets are off. And a double dare turns into a triple threat - to their hearts.
Warning: Contains lots of scorching boy on girl on boy action, a heroine who knows what she wants and two sexy-arsed Australian heroes to really work up a sweat over. Oh, and a soul-deep love story with a revelation that may make you cry.

  10. Love the trailer and can't wait to read it. My question is do write characters that are not from the Land of Oz?

  11. Congrats on the new release, sounds like a hot read.

    I was going to ask what a yabbie was, but I looked up in google. Why did you decided to get two crayfish type "pets"?

  13. Hello, Lexxie.

    Do you work with one particualr cover artist? How long does it take to create a book cover?

    Thanks,

  14. Hi DeNita, Thanks for the launch party :)

    What am I up to next? I have three releases this year, two erotic contemporaries (one is a m/f/m menage) and a horrotica :)

    After that, I need to get back to work on my third Savage Australia book.

  16. Greenduckie13 (LOL I love your ID *grin*)

    Yabbies are native crayfish. Mine are smallish (about 4 inches each), bright blue and called Mornay and the Mising Link. :)

  17. Sherry - my favourite genre to read has always been a toss-up between romance and horror (my favourite authors are Stephen King and Jennifer Crusie), but I also loose myself in Ben Elton's and Douglas Adams' comedies.

    As for writing, as lame as it sounds, I don't really have a favourite. Whatever my state of mind is at the time (although I have noticed I get a very different "high" when I'm writing contemporary rom-coms *grin*)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Anna - Thank you :) This is my first contemporary menage. I've written a few menage scenes in some of my sci-fi books (and one whole short story - Spaceport: R&R was a foursome menage with four versions of the hero existing at the same time).

  19. elaing8 - Ta muchly. I hope you enjoy it. It's very different for m, so I'm really nervous about what readers will think *chews nails*

  20. flchen1 - Hmmm.....vanilla? Hmmm....ummm.......err...... ;)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Estella - My editor dared me to write a contemporary menage set in the snow. The first "snow" I thought of was the Colorado Rockies (I flew over them last April) and it kinda went from there...

    ReplyDelete
  22. Harlie Reader - I do write non-Aussie characters :) I have a few American heroes (my favourite is a Texas paranormal secret agent *grin*) and more than one alien ;)

  23. Anne - My eldest daughter asked for a cat for her 5th birthday. At the time we had a 10 yr old Dobermann so we thought a cat probably wasn't a good idea. So we bought her two yabbies, Mornay and Bisque. Two days later, Mornay ate Bisque. So back to the pet shop we went and bought The Missing Link. It was a love match made in yabbie heaven :)

  24. Ivelisse - Aw, you know you're making me smile, right? :)

  25. Tracey D - I rarely get the chance to pick my cover artists, but I've been really lucky so I can't complain :)

    The time frame various from artist to artist. My quickest turn-around was 24 hours, the longest almost three months.

  26. Laurie - I never really know where my ideas come from. Sometimes they just evolve from a sentence, sometimes from a song line. Triple Dare came about because my editor dared me to write a contemporary menage :)

  27. Hi Lexxie ;)
    Now that you have written your first comtemp menage so you think you will write another one?

  30. Hi Lexie,

    Can't wait to read it. My question is, once you have an idea, and before editing, how long does it generally take you to write a story of this length?

  31. KittyKelly - Anywhere in the world? Umm...the Antartic. I think to see those glaciers...magestic and breath-taking.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Lisagk - oh, that's a tricky one to answer. Triple Dare took me ten days from first word to subbing it to my editor. Savage Transformation however, took over a year. :)
