Geeky's Theme Song... cue Star Trek Title Sequence

Boldly going where no man has gone before... the mind of Lea Barrymire. ROFL

Hmmm... theme song. I've spent WAY too long thinking about this and really nothing has popped out at me as the over all, fundamental 'Geeky Hotness' song. So, instead I'm sharing my 'mood' music with you. :)

I'm a jack-of-all-trades, wearer-of-many-hats, multitasking extraordinaire. When I write I like to have music in the background. Most of the time I end up pairing the songs to my mood or what's happening in the story. Here are some of my favorites...

For that angry sex, fight scene or all around bitch moment:

Disturbed- Down with the Sickness

Or something like Prodigy's Firestarter

If I'm in the mood for some 'chick' music I tend to go to early 90's girls. Natalie Imbruglia, All Saints, Aqua and No Doubt. I spent 3 years listening to Europe's choice of music while in Germany. :) By the way, I love this song, and I've told my kids it's about butt-dialing bwhahahaha

Now, if all I'm doing is driving around doing the mom thing I'm all about the 80's rock. Or, 'Classic Rock'. UGH Makes me feel old.

Well, and I had a HUGE crush on Jon Bon Jovi... BIG crush. :P

Okay, so you get the idea, right? I don't have a genre of music that I LOVE. I pretty much like anything out there. I haven't really been into country, sorry... 

BUT I've recently started listening to Steffen Hughes cover a bunch of songs. He's a hottie, gonna be on a cover for me, so... *clears throat* I'm not stalking him. Not at all. Promise.

If you want more details about the book he's on stop over here: www.leabarrymire.com/books--winning-isaac It's releasing October 23rd!!! I'll be posting more info on my Facebook page, too, as we get closer.

Cabal Story- pt 2

Story Time!!! Pull up a chair, grab a drink and listen up. LOL

This month we're doing something really fun! We're telling a story. Each of us will be adding a paragraph or two to the ongoing story. The fun in that? None of us know what's going to happen. It's going to get wild!

You can check out part one HERE...

*clears throat* Here's the next piece of the story....

"You aren't going to make me say it now, are you? Please baby, I'm at work." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "The guys are going to hear."

She grinned and knew it held a hint or four of evil intent. "I don't care. If you want me to forgive you then you better start explaining what you did."

He sighed. "I'm sorry that I masturbated using your special silky underwear and then wore them around the house."

She waited. The next part is what had her furious. When the silence between them stretched too long she prompted him, forcing herself to loosen the grip on her phone. "And?"

"And I'm sorry that I put them in your mouth when you were sleeping." Embarrassment clung to every word.

She took a deep breath to calm the anger boiling in her guts. Her vindication was at hand. "Ryan. What are you going to do to make this up to me? You're a sick fuck but I'm okay with that. You owe me something here, though. This is beyond anything you've done before. So, what are you going to do to fix this?"

I'm handing off the story from here... I can't wait to see what Ryan comes up with. LOL

Reading, Writing and Conferences, Oh My



First book sold



It's hard to put into words what last year was like for me. Amazing maybe is the best way to describe it. I spent most of the year giddy and full of anticipation for the next great adventure. Many firsts occurred for me in the writing world. First book, first sale, first promotional stuff designed, first autographs to be signed, first conferences.... the list goes on and on.



First 'Bestsellers List'



Romance Trading Cards



This year? I'm looking for bigger and better things. More books, more conferences, more sales... and more fun. I've got about a million story ideas floating around in my head, some I've started, some I've just sketched out in a notebook. Some of those will get finished, I hope.



First EC's Romanticon



What else am I looking forward to other than making a bunch of money (yes I'm being facitious)? Perhaps hanging with friends at some of the coolest writer's conferences in the US? Yes, that's the ticket. I can't wait for Romanticon 2013 in October. I know, LONG way away from now, but I can't help it. Last year was a total blast and I had NO idea what to expect. This year. Oh, this year is going to be the year of the Cabal. We're taking over and beware anyone that is skittish or timid.

 So, bring on 2013. I'm ready. I've got my gear, my girls and my computer.


Geeky Hotness





Geeky Hotness In Da House

All About the One Know as Geeky Hotness....

A.K.A Lea Barrymire



What to admit to? Hmmm... I am so many things, Mom, friend, wife, author, cat herder, fish feeder, taxi driver, nuerotic writer, confidant, ass-kicker, first responder, disciplinarian.... I could keep going but you get the idea.

So, why am I Geeky Hotness? I. LOVE. SPREADSHEETS. Well, actually anything that creates order from chaos. Calendars, lists, files, spreadsheets (it needed to be mentioned twice). You get the idea, right? I'm totally into organizing stuff, be it information, people, books on a shelf. And, I love science, math, equations, formulas, microscopes, forensics, dissecting... All of it. So, what better name for me, right?

I started writing to help with an insomnia problem. Now, I write to let the characters out of my head. You think I'm joking? I'll leave you to your ruminations, but I can definitely tell you that THEY drive my stories more than I do.

My first release was in April of 2012. That makes me a newbie in my mind. Since then I've released six books with two publishing houses, Siren Bookstrand and Ellora's Cave. I write mostly paranormal, sci-fi and futuristic... but I've been known to dabble in BDSM and EC for Men when the mood strikes me. I LOVE alpha males and strong females. My characters tend to be on the geeky side as well, what can I say, they aren't all fictitous in nature. They are all sexy, sensual and totally great in the sack. LOL

I have two new releases on the horizon.

Bound at the Ball, which releases 1/28

Rella, of the Cinder clan, was born to the submissive race on her planet and has finally reached the age of maturity. She has hated her nature since birth and has fought her submissiveness. As the youngest of four sisters she’s watched the others go off and look for mates. This time she’s forced to comply with the government’s edicts, which includes attending the Unity Ball and taking a mate from the warrior species. What she doesn’t know is that she has already caught the eye of a warrior before stepping foot into the Ball.

Warrior Sabar is ready to take a mate but doesn’t want a weak female. He sees what he craves in the willful Rella during her Initiation Ceremony. Her sweet submission and soft cries of passion are exactly what he wants in a mate.

Can they find each other before the Unity Ball ends? Or will someone else claim her?

It'll be available for preorder sometime soon through Siren.

Fondled and Gobbled: Someone Had To Do It, which releases 2/6

The perfect man—with the imperfect cock and oral skills. The Dom who isn’t a dom, and the man who proves it to him. The alien with dessert-flavored semen and three cocks. The older man (a kajillionaire with a penthouse in Seattle…) who has limitless ability to come all night with his naïve little virgin. A woman on a diet who craves a feast of meat and finds herself five Broadshaft Brothers who can deliver.

If you’re looking for the perfect romance with the perfect hero and heroine, this isn’t it! This is a series of spoofs, parodies, just-for-fun lighthearted take-offs. It’s for all us longtime, hard-core romance readers who can laugh at the clichés, purple prose and “suspend your disbelief” plot devices that haunt our beloved favorite genre. 

This is already available for preorder on Amazon HERE.
