Visuals from 'Surprise!'

As mentioned in the first chapter of Hot Commodity, Rosalie's family is what we call "old money." The wealth has been around for generations. When I was researching areas of CT where a family of this status might have a weekend home, Greenwich seemed like the natural choice. It's a rather affluent town, it's beautiful, and it's not far from the Big Apple. I came across photos of some homes in the area, and this is what I envision the Smith's Greenwich estate looking like:

Edward's book release party took place at a trendy bar in the W hotel in Manhattan. Here's what the real-life Living Room bar looks like:

Bella made the big announcement about Edward's upcoming book signing tour at the end of the chapter. As was mentioned, there will be a total of six cities visited on the tour itself, with the first one being Chicago. Below are photos of two more of the cities. I've provided these as a little teaser/sneak peek for everyone. I won't tell you which cities they are, you'll have to do a bit of guessing, but I'm confident everyone can figure it out... :)

I'm still working on some fashion posts for both Mike & Laurent on Polyvore. I'll post a little heads up here and on Facebook when they're ready!


Until next time...

Hot Commodity Chapter 14 Teaser

Here's a little taste of what's coming up in Chapter 14 of Hot Commodity...

I leaned down so my face was next to Bella’s. “Can I tell you a secret?”

She turned her head until our eyes met. “As long as you don’t expect me to keep it for very long.”

I wet my lips with my tongue and smirked. Her sass made my dick twitch. “There’s at least one member of the Swan Casualties Club present tonight as well.”

Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson color and she looked away. “I have no idea who you could be referring to.”

I slid my arm lower so it rested against her waist. I knew Irina and her gaggle were watching us, and I was almost positive we’d garnered the attention of at least a few other guests in the room, but their opinions didn’t matter to me.

“Want to get out of here?”

Her eyes met mine once more and she bit her lip. I reached up and tugged at it with my thumb, pulling it from the confines of her teeth and brushing my rough skin across it. Her breath skirted across my knuckles in an airy wisp as she said the one word I was hoping to hear.

"Yes."

Look for the full update Wednesday! 

Hot Commodity Chapter 14 status

Hello loves! Happy Saturday! :)

I just wanted to give everyone a little update on the status of the next chapter of Hot Commodity. No, I haven't forgotten, and the chapter is about 3/4 finished. I'm leaving for a week long vacation to Tennessee on Tuesday, and because of this, I have to get my final paper for class completed and submitted before I leave.

That being said, I've had to put HC on the back burner a little bit this week. My goal is to get my final finished today and get HC finished tomorrow so darling Mel can beta it and then I can post on Monday.

In the meantime, Happy Easter to all who celebrate! I hope everyone has a beautiful holiday weekend!
