The Incline Railway and Ruby Falls - Chattanooga, TN


Hey all,
So this post is about, The Incline and Ruby Falls in Chattanooga, TN.

Near the top of Look Out Mountain, it is near a 72.7% grade!

The Incline Railway has been there since 1895.


From the top of the incline.

For more info on The Incline Railway, you can go to:

Then we went to Ruby Falls

To get to the falls you have to go down an elevator into the earth 260 feet!
Walk through a cavern, some areas a bit tight, and watch your head! Most places you can walk through pretty easily, unless you're 5'8 or taller.

               

The man who found the fall named it after his wife, Ruby.
How romantic πŸ’“

               

To find out more about Ruby Falls visit here:



Both places are great for adventurers and history lovers alike! I'm both by the way and so is my honey😁

I wish they gave smaller tours. I'm the kinda person who likes to take their time, take pictures, I will lay down and stretch over inclines to get the angle I want 😁, touch everything and yes, I want to explore, but you have to stay on the path πŸ˜’. Okay, Okay, I'll stay on the dang path.

I did hit my head a few times taking pictures, because you have a line of folks in your tour group behind you, and I'm sorry, I want that picture, so I was trying to rush and wasn't watching, and BOINK, on the cave wall.πŸ˜§πŸ˜‰, it's all good. That's just me, LOL.

So my peeps, that's it for today.

Release Date - Destined to Mate

 


Releasing
Saturday June 18, 2022

I'm super psyched!!

A feline mated to a werewolf? 

As a Chimera, half lioness/half human, Alexis Xanthis, has never released the beast within. Until she meets Lykan Alpha, Morgan LeVey. Being near him triggers a powerful need to mate, but is Morgan strong enough to dominate her feline side and still handle the human half with a gentle hand? And will the powers that be allow it?


    The wooden door opened, and she jumped, yanking the comforter up just as the dark haired warrior who had helped her in the park walked in.

    Her nipples hardened against the soft material at the sight of him. “Where am I?”

    “My house,” he answered as he lifted her hands to examine them. “Not too fond of blood are you?”

    “Not my own.” 


Stay Spicy and Read Lots!!

Excerpt - Destined to Mate



I love this book and have often thought about writing a sequel for Rafe, our allergic to feline Lyken & Patty our flirty little Fae.
I'm still thinking about it  :-)

Here's an excerpt for you.

Morgan grinned as Alexis groaned on the other side of the door. 

“Hold on,” she called out. “Who’s there?” 

“Morgan.” 

“Morgan? Morgan who?” she asked sleepily. 

“The Morgan whose clothes you borrowed.” The door opened slowly, and he smiled when he saw his shirt on her sweet little body. 

“I was going to return them,” Alexis whispered, shoving a wave of caramel colored hair out of her face. The shirt hem lifted high on her thigh. His cock began to thicken, and he shifted to relieve the discomfort. 

“I know. I read the note you left.” 

“Then why are you knocking on my door at four-thirty in the morning?” 

Morgan turned his head, calling out to Rafe, who handed him a box before going back around the corner with a sneeze. Morgan held the box out. “To invite you.” 

“Invite me where?” 

“My house. Tonight. Six sharp. I’ll send a limo to get you.” 

“I...I don’t know.” 

“Don’t forget to bring my clothes.” He smiled, his gaze traveling down her form, his cock hardening painfully. “You can keep the shirt. I like seeing it on you.” 

Leaning in, he kissed her softly, sensuously. His arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her close. Alexis’s pulse pounded in her ears as he claimed her mouth, nudging her lips open with his tongue, exploring and caressing her with its velvety softness. His other hand trailed down her back to the flare of her hip. 

Nipping her bottom lip with his canine, he marked her with his scent, then suckled until the small wound stopped smarting. 

“Wear your hair down for me.” 

Alexis opened heavy eyes as his broad back rounded the corner. Lifting her hand, she touched the spot on her lips where he’d nipped her. The muscles of her pussy tightened with want, and her panties dampened. “Ah, crap.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Got Romance Reviews - Destined to Mate April 2, 2011
This was a book that definitely had it all: great characters, conflicts galore, and plenty of heat.

Alexis leads a complicated life being a Chimera, half lioness and half human. Finding a man to love and be loved by is tricky business.

Morgan has a difficult life as well, being the Alpha leader of his werewolf pack. He needs a mate, but a feline?

Review from Publisher website:


Fighting like cats and dogs has nothing on 'Mating like cats and dogs!'
~ Destined to Mate is a fast paced page turner that offers more than the
average erotic romance. Forces of two different species of shifters,
vamps and even fey folk, Destined to Mate delivers one hot enjoyable
read. Ms. Salo talent shouldn't be missed. If you haven't read this
shifter delight, then you, my friend, are missing out. One word of
warning... Don't plan on doing anything until this story is DONE!

Web Site Still Down

Yes, that's right, it's still down. I'm working on finding a new web host to which I have two contenders I'm researching at this time.

I'm also looking for a designer to design my web page for me. I'm good, but I know my limits LOL :-) And designing a web page is not one of them.

So until I have a new site up and going, you can still find all my books at their publishers homes.

Great Review for Destined to Mate

Destined to Mate by C.A. Salo

Posted under Adult Content, Book Reviews, Shapeshifters, e-books by Amy on Wednesday 30 December 2009 at 7:56 pm
*****

Morgan is an Alpha. He saves Alexis when a huntress swings her sword to kill her. Surrounded by Lycans, her inner beast forces her to change. Morgan is puzzled. He has no idea who and what she is. He met various species – fae, vamps, etc - before but he has never met one like her. What puzzles him the most is the attraction between them. He never wanted a mate before, but now the idea seems very alluring. But can he handle her?

It started off very interestingly. With every flip of a page, I went deeper and deeper. The story sucked me into it, and I just can’t stop myself wanting to know what might happen next. I enjoy every second reading it and was frustrated when it ended. Argh!! I so want a sequel for this. It just started to get really good in the end. C.A. Salo continues to outdo herself in this novella. Great read!

Review by Xeranthemum

A feline mated to a werewolf?As a Chimera, half lioness/half human, Alexis Xanthis, has never released the beast within. Until she meets Lykan Alpha, Morgan LeVey. Being near him triggers a powerful need to mate, but is Morgan strong enough to dominate her feline side and still handle the human half with a gentle hand? And will the powers that be allow it?

Destined to Mate mixes a delicious combination of mythology, the paranormal and some hot loving sure to thrill a reader on many levels. Alexis is a heroine with a deadly secret. She’s also adorable, spunky, and an amazing mix of charming innocence and old world knowledge. She is also the owner of a book store. Imagine that. What I really liked about her are her kick butt abilities which totally outshine the guys, much to their chagrin.

All the guys except one, that is. Morgan is an alpha wolf. And he’s the best part of being an alpha – not overbearing and irritatingly autocratic but protective, responsible and fair. He also has being dominant in a relationship down pat – it’s a very seductive and potent level.Even when Alexis throws him for a loop he still doesn’t get in a snit over it. He is so very well put together; I didn’t have to deal with any male ego trips. What a relief.

One of the things that I personally look for in a lycan/paranormal romance is if there is bite. I find biting in passion between the hero and heroine very erotic and Ms. Salo nailed it. But I am not going to tell you who was biting who, because that would be telling. There’s no way I want to diffuse those moments, which for me, were very sensual and satisfying.

The secondary characters were fun. Val was interesting and a good sounding board for Alexis. There’s a term for their relationship but no way am I writing that here. Rafe simply cracked me up. What a unique spin for a second-in-command. Usually they are about as strong as the alpha, but poor Rafe has a very human and irritating thing that happens to him. I could not help but giggle the times it happened.

Alexis’ mom is a beaut. Wait until you meet her.

Destined to Mate is sure to entertain and excite, evoke interest and lust, and delivers a well written story with a character driven plot which delightfully showcases the pursuit of love in all its furry splendor.

Destined to Mate is getting GREAT Reviews

Hey all,
I can't tell you how psyched I am!! Not only have I received a SWEET review for my new book, but it's still in the Number 1 spot of the Best Sellers at The Wilder Roses!!

Can you see me doing the happy dance? *Grins* And DTM just hit Fictionwise!! She's under $3.00 right now. You can't beat that!!

I was asked by the owner of You Gotta Read, if I was going to answer her reviewers question about doing a sequel.

Well....
I had originally planned to do one with Morgan and Alexis's child...but now I'm tossing around the idea of doing a sequel with several of the other characters.

Who's Morgan and Alexis you ask...*Grins*...Well the hero and heroine. He's a Lykan Alpha and she's a Chimera. A creature straight out of Greek Mythology, half lioness and half human.
That's right, the Big Bad Wolf going after the Kitty. :-D


Here's the review:

First off, this is an amazing story. The fast paced plot and the multitude of characters will hook you with just a few pages. Even though there are quit a few characters, you do not lose the storyline. They actually enchance it. The dialogue with all the characters can be fast, ferious, humorous, and definitely entertaining. The sex scences are not for the faint of heart. They are steamy, sensual, and very hot. This is definitely a book I would recommend. I'm hoping this author decides to make this into a series.

Alexis opened heavy eyes as his broad back rounded the corner. Lifting her hand, she touched the spot on her lips where he’d nipped her. The muscles of her pussy tightened with want, and her panties dampened. “Ah, crap.”
So what did ya think about the excerpt? Do you think I should do a series?
