Viva Las Vegas!

Armed with a razor sharp wit, a great pair of legs, and a less than perfect body, I have attempted to navigate the choppy waters of the dating pool in the sin capital of the world, Las Vegas, for quite a while now. The best and most accurate description of dating in Las Vegas would be like telling a rabid dog to sit calmly at the foot of the bed while a pair of howler monkeys bounce up and down rapidly. Not a pretty sight.
The single male Las Vegan, a creature unlike any other, when faced with the choice of a smart career-minded woman in sensible shoes or Bambi the weather bunny, seem to experience full brain meltdown. Following that object located in the Southern Hemisphere of their bodies, men are ultimately drawn to Bambi.
Now I use the name Bambi as a generalization. Sometimes her name is Tiffani or Buffy or Brittany or some other name that should be banned from the English language on the sheer saccharin content of it, pop singers and beloved TV characters aside. With breasts that levitate through the smoky air of any nightclub in a way that befuddles even David Copperfield, wedged into the smallest top available at the juniors department, these women blind the average male in Las Vegas, with the rigidity of their nipples alone. (Come on girls, it ain't that cold in here.)Much like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming SUV. Mere mortal women like myself do not stand a chance.
My adventures in the ‘Sin’ trade is what prompted me to write my 1Night Stand story, Bettingon a God. Madame Eve makes it easy for Sadie to find love in Vegas when she sets the sassy brunette up with Dion, the God of Wine and Merriment. Despite his godly status, and body, Dion is also having trouble finding lasting love in the City of Sin. Bored and tired of trolling the sea of plastic people, Dion turns to Madame Eve for a hand like Sadie. Sadie and Dion are made for each other and in true Madame Eve style the fun they have together proves it.
Who can resist a hot Greek God seducing you under the glow of Neon lights? I know I couldn’t if he looked like Dion.


Welcome to Vegas, baby!

Do You Want to Date My Avatar



 

by Courtney Sheets
One of the hardest parts about being a writer is creating just the right world. The environment in which we build for our creations to inhabit and our readers to come for a visit is just as much a character as the hero and heroine. Writers strive to make the setting just perfect. When I was writing my 1Night Stand books, Betting on a God, capturing the feel, smell, and sounds of the Mount Olympus Casino was a must. To help with this task a few fellow writers and I have started a little club of sorts. The Metaverse Authors.
What is a Metaverse you ask? I’m so glad you did. Well the metaverse exists in such places as SecondLife, OpenSim, and Hypergrid to name a few. They are alternate worlds of sorts where you can create an avatar in whatever image you want and plunk them down into any environment you wish. The Metaverse Authros have two such places, one is in OpenSim and the other is in SecondLife. Both are called Greyville Writer’s Community.
Greyville’s Writer’s Community in SecondLife, which is where I spend most of my time when I’m being an avatar, has several scenarios set up to help stimulate a writer’s imagination. We have two cottages, one Irish and one Hobbit, a dungeon, a Viking Longhouse and a Steampunk Pirate Ship to name just a few. We have placed ‘desks’ in most of these places allowing the avatar to sit in various poses while the writer does what he or she does best…create new worlds for readers to enjoy.
Feel free to stop by and say hi to all of us if you’re in OpenSim and SecondLife, I’ll buy you a drink and help you place a bet at the Mount Olympus. You might even catch a glimpse of Dion and the other gods running around.

You can find me under the name of Courtney Sheets in OpenSim and Seege Rhapsody in SecondLife.



Betting on a God

Welcome to Mount Olympus, Sin City’s most opulent casino resort. Here you will be served the finest food, the most decadent wines, and every desire you crave. All provided for you by Dion Eliades, owner. And just like most things in Las Vegas, there is more to Mount Olympus and Dion than meets the eye.
   After a thousand years, Dion, the Greek god of wine and merriment, is tired of playing human and wants to go home to Greece. That is, until he lays eyes on Sadie Flynn. Thanks to Madame Evangeline and 1Night Stand, this god is in for an adventure the likes of which he has never experienced. But only if Sadie agrees to bet on a god.
