Did I write a sexy new scene about Anna, Étienne, and Star Trek?
YOU BET I DID.
Thank you so, so much to Richard Grooms, winner of last May's HelpWriteNow auction. Richard asked for Vulcans, and Vulcans he received. Thanks for giving me such a fun/hilarious topic, Richard! I had a blast writing it.
If you'd like to read the new scene (OF COURSE YOU DO), you'll find it here. And there will be a second bonus scene next month. Yay!
*Gotta love the phallic croissants. Tee hee. Also, the text in the pink circle translates to something along the lines of:"Finally, a love without vampires." "It still exists, love without vampires." Can I please get that printed on ALL of my editions? Ha!
EDITED AGAIN TO ADD: According to Anna (!) in my comments, the title itself translates to Heartbeating in French.

VERY cute! Love it. And I love the vampire thing, too, that's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteNwaah Loved it!! So cute! I can't get enough of these two. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteawwww it was super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute :)
ReplyDeleteLove your writing!
Love. <3
ReplyDeleteAwww! I heart Anna and Etienne so much! The vampire translation is quite possibly the best thing ever!
ReplyDelete*happy sigh*
ReplyDeleteLove Anna and Etienne!
Love the new scene! I could read about these two forever. I'm so super excited to read LOLA..already on pre-order!
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about the vampires!
Apparently, the title translates roughly to "Heart Palpitations from a French Woman," according to my friend in 3rd year high school German. :D
ReplyDeleteThis story makes me so giddy.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Anna three days ago, and am now re-reading it after a few failed attempts at starting another book. I just wasn’t ready to leave this sweet world you built!
Can't wait for Lola!
LMAFO.
ReplyDeleteHhahahahaha you loved how phallic those are??? hahahaha wth, steph??
please behave :P
*must confess, I thought that same thing.
THANKS FOR THE SCENE! OFF TO READ IT! <3
Loved to "see" more of Etienne and Anna as a couple! I can't get enough of these two!
ReplyDeleteSquee!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnna is obviously going to show him ALL of ST:TNG after the makeout session, right? RIght?
Enterprise was fun in the first season. =)
T'Pol is definitely sexy. So is Patrick Stewart! Are you kidding me, Anna? Have you watched him do any Shakespeare? Or even just his five-minute scene-stealer in Extras? It's comedy gold!
haha, actually the title just means "Heartbeating in French", which sounds way nicer in German.
ReplyDeleteI might actually read it again when it comes out again,
this way this time they won't look at me like a complete loser when seeing that my name is Anna XD
I really love this book and I'm so happy that I finally can sell it in our shop in Germany. :D God, now I have to think of an awesome reading tip like "it's awesome. read it!" Yeah, I'm so creative.
ReplyDeleteAnd just like Anna I will read it again (like if I haven't read it already an uncountable times).
And of course thanks for that scene! I just love this part: His voice is overly nonchalant. "Do you find Patrick Stewart to be attractive?"....XD
Claudia
P.S. Also thanks for the Playlist. I fell in love with the Hellboys :) (I've got their Demo CD - 12 Songs of la grande musique Yippie!)
Love the new extra scene, it's so funny and hot.
ReplyDeleteAnd I definitely prefer Enterprise over Next Generation, but my favourite will always be Voyager.
Ha! Adore the new scene!
ReplyDeleteYou could get a seal that says that and put it on all of your books! "It still exists, love without vampires"... Maybe that could become a new section in bookstores!
ReplyDelete:) Looking forward to reading Lola...
ReplyDeleteI saw that cover when I was in Germany last month -- it's even cuter in person and I was v. tempted to get it. LOVE the new scene, esp. because YES everyone knows TNG is the best of the 'treks. Though I have to say, I always found Capt. Picard VERY attractive :D
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love it! It made me laugh, of course! :)
ReplyDeleteThat was tres magnifique! And I do love the phallic croissants.
ReplyDeletePre-ordered two copies of Lola last week (one is for a giveaway). Can't wait to receive!
sigh. :)
ReplyDeletewhy oh why to I subject myself to this torture? etienne st. clair torture, that is. I'm in love. and everyone knows it. Good thing he is a fictional boy or I would be a stalker. I promise...I would be. (3fixedhearts)
ReplyDelete"Herzklopfen" literally translates to "Heartbeating", true enough...but it makes more sense when you know that it's a word almost exclusively used in a romantic or nervous (or nervous-romantic) context.
ReplyDeleteWho needs vampires when you have adorable Vulcan-crushing nerds :)
ReplyDeleteSimply super duper scene! Thank you so much Stephanie :) You made my day again. The first time I read Anna, it was on a very tense day in my life. And reading it was like therapy for me. All the best for your next book :) I'm really looking forward to reading it :)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I just died reading that.
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteIt’s no secret that a man’s ego has a powerful pull on him.
ReplyDeleteIn fact this hardwired need to impress and to WIN is so deeply embedded into the male mind...
That nearly everything a man truly desires is based around this biological “drive” to prove, succeed and to win.
It’s why so many men become workaholics, gym junkies or become obsessed with their hobbies.
But what most women don’t know...
...is how deeply this “drive” is connected to his love, desire, and attraction for the woman in his life.
And I’m about to show you how you can “tap into” a man’s ege to refocus that same drive and gut level obsession...
...on pleasing you, romancing you, and proving his love for you like you’re his sole purpose in life.
Here’s how: ==> The “Go Ahead” Signal That Makes Him Obsessed With Winning Your Love
Ana
P.S. When you tap into a man’s ego this way, you can cause him to literally become obsessed with proving his love for you. So please don’t use this on a man unless you are ready for something serious.
Thanks again.
