Santa's Gift Is Live!

Hello, my lovelies!

After much writing, editing, reading, wailing, re-writing, re-editing, and some gnashing of the teeth, Santa's Gift, the first of the Horny Holiday series, has been uploaded!

Per usual, Smashwords is the first to go live, but I'll be updating the other links as they become active.

I had a lot of fun with this story (except for the teeth-gnashing part), and I really hope you enjoy it!

Blurb
Sandra Nicholas finds running the family business a little lonely, especially when she's horny as hell and her only options at the North Pole are reindeer and elves. When global warming forces her to move the toy manufacturing operation, she needs the help of a human industrial engineer. Sexy Scott Bowman fits the bill, but can she keep her hands off him long enough to save Christmas?

***Warning! This story is meant for readers 18 years of age and over. For my regular readers, this story severely departs from my usual style in that it involves a heterosexual relationship between one man and one woman. I apologize if this subject matter offends some of you.

It also includes innovative uses of Christmas ribbon and reindeer harness, a ball gag, oral sex, reindeer sexual harassment, and some really bad t-shirt puns.

Novella, approximately 28,000 words or 94 printed pages

Santa's Gift is currently available through:

The Next Big Thing

Hello, My Lovelies!

Fellow author Suzan Harden has nominated me for The Next Big Thing, where I answer questions about my latest work in progress. If you'd like to check out Suzan's answers, go to her blog Wild, Wicked & Wacky.

What is the working title of your next book?

I'm feverishly doing the last minute edits to Santa's Gift. Just took a few minutes to fill out this questionnaire.

Where did the idea come from for the book?

I was searching for a cover photo for another story when I stumbled across this delightful minx in a Santa hat (see photo to the left). My perverse mind took things from there.

What genre does your book fall under?

Erotic fantasy romance.

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

The young lady on my cover is definitely Sandra Nicholas, the current incarnation of Santa Claus. I see the delicious Chris Hemsworth as Scott Bowman, the human industrial engineer she must hire when the melting polar ice cap forces her to relocate her toy factories.

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

With nothing but reindeer and elves for company, Santa needs her own sexy surpise, but what happens when she's the one gift-wrapped and wanting more?

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

It will be published through Angry Sheep Publishing.

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

Roughly four weeks, but it's a novella.

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

My work is usually compared to Selena Kitt, Red Pheonix or Lyla Sinclair. This story's a little sweeter than my usual wont, but there's still hot sex in an elevator and creative uses of Christmas ribbon and reindeer harnesses.

Who or What inspired you to write this book?

As I said, I was searching for cover photo ideas for another book when I stumbled across this one. The idea for the opening scene popped into my head.

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

If you need something to get you in the mood after a hard day of Christmas shopping, then this is the story for you!


Now here's my nominees:

For hot rockers, check out Susan Helene Gottfried at West of Mars
For sexy pirate booty, check out Jennifer Bray-Weber at her website
For magical M/M romance, check out Angela Benedetti at her website
For sensual romance, check out Tambra Kendall at Daughters of Avalon
For hard-bitten alpha heroes, check out William Simon at his blog

I'm on Facebook Now

Yes, my lovelies, Lyla Sinclair is a Class A-1 domme, and she definitely applied the lash.

(Of her tongue. Really, you have dirty little minds!)

Lyla nagged until I finally signed up for a Facebook account. So if you'd like to check it out, CLICK HERE.

In the meantime, back to the writing...

The Neverending Edits of the Neverending Sex Story

News, my lovelies!

I finally received my edits from my lovely editor, Jennifer, late last night. I cannot blame the poor girl. Between a personal situation and attending a writers conference that had been scheduled far before my lateness with the manuscript, she's already performed far above the call of duty.
So what does this all mean? Taken By Passion will be for sale at most online retail outlets by October 22. I say "most" because 1) some sites may have the live sale link sooner and 2) Apple like to sit on a file for two weeks for their experts to "examine" it. ("Paranoid, much?" as the American teens would say.)

As usual, I'll add links to the announcement post and the Secrets page as they go live.

When a Tiny Story Wants to Be a Big One

Good morning, my lovelies!

Well, I completed Taken By Passion, aka The Neverending Sex Story, around three a.m. New York time on Friday, September 28th. After an all-too-brief nap, I awoke to find an e-mail from my beloved editor, asking, yet again, where is the book?

I sweetly e-mailed her that I had completed the bloody thing, but I would feel much more comfortable reading through it one more time before I sent it to her. *sigh* It should have taken me two hours, three at the most.

Alas, events conspired against me. The topper was the lizard in the kitchen. Let us say moi was not the one who screamed like a little girl. Thankfully, Daniel has many other redeeming qualities, or I surely would have given him the boot for interrupting me. Not that Pierce wasn't doing his fair share, coming into my office and randomly asking silly questions. I mean, really! Everyone knows that you serve white wine with fish.

Once everything is said and done in the editorial offices, I believe you, my readers, shall be delighted. You see, darling Diana's story is not a short little story by any means. It did in fact turn into a novel.

Yes, I know. My entrancing characters surprised me as well. The delicious thing with these new e-books is an extended story does not send the publisher into a tizzy!

(All right, maybe a bit of a tizzy since I am so late!)

Anyway, knowing my beloved editor, she will devour the words within two or three days, then add her nuggets of wisdom. Once I hear from her, I'll be able to give you, my delightful readers, a solid date in which Taken By Passion will be released. I hope you find the wait worthwhile!

P.S.

To your left, near the top of the page, is a little button that says 'Contact Me!' If you would like to be notified directly about any of my new releases, please fill out the form and check the box. Thank you so very much!

The Never-Ending Sex Story

Hello, my lovelies!

Just popping in to show off the cover for Secret #3, Taken By Passion. Or as Pierce refers to it, The Never-Ending Sex Story.

*sigh* No, it's not quite done yet. I promise, come hell or a hurricane, it will be released this month. Not only do I have Pierce mocking me (though I believe he's simply jealous because I named Diana's hero after my other 'personal assistant'), my precious editor is on the phone, questioning where the manuscript is.

My darling Diana's tale seemed so much shorter when I outlined the bugger. But when you have four people intimately enjoying themselves, things have a tendency to get...out of hand, so to speak.

Plus, Diana is a little more complex, in a sense. She's someone who left the BDSM scene after a bad experience with a dom, only to find the vanilla world doesn't suit her either. But even she learns some new tricks from a married couple in this book.

And I'll let you in on a little secret. One of Diana's three partners was introduced at the end of Micki's novella, Bound By Desire. Shhhh...

To Punish and Service

When, over the course of human events, a wife really needs to be fucked by her husband...

This, my darlings, is why the esteemed stateman Benjamin Franklin did not write the Colonies' Declaration of Independence and why he had such a fan club on the Continent.

What does that have to do with my latest release? Why nothing at all, except that Mr. Franklin would have applauded Jill and Gavin Talbot for keeping their marriage alive...and a little kinky.


Blurb
For their anniversary, Jill Talbot asked her husband Gavin to fulfill her fantasy of forced sex with a law enforcement officer. What she doesn’t count on is her sexy sheriff coming up with a few kinky twists of his own.
***Warning! This story is meant for readers 18 years of age and over. It contains scenes of married sex, cop domination, improper use of a police baton and sex in public.
Short story, approximately 3,000 words or 10 printed pages

A Little Pony Kink

Recently, I had to explain "bronies" to a fellow writer after her significant other was approached about creating a brony-themed online RPG game. Her first concern was "It's not some sort of sex thing, is it?"

Luckily, we were on the phone so she couldn't see my face. "No," I said. "But you don't want the SO to sued by Hasbro either."

But for those of you who like their ponies on the naughty side, check out Naamah's latest creation, the Madame Swallowtail BDSM Pony. The Madame is incredibly cute and incredibly wrong at the same time!

Coming Soon. . .

Too many fantasies; not enough time to do them all. Not that the boys and I aren't trying. *wink* At some point, I really need to write them down so you, my lovely readers, may enjoy.

Have you wondered what would happen if that cute cop who stopped you for speeding decided to punish you in his own special way? Jill Talbot finds out. And her sexy sheriff doesn't stop at spanking the bad girl!

Here's a little preview of my forthcoming story, the short and spicy To Punish and Service!

* * *


His slight frown turned to a full-blown scowl. “Are you trying to bribe me?”

Lust spiced with a little concern flowed through her. “I, uh, no. I mean—”

“Out of the car.” His growl punctuated him wrenching the Camaro’s door open.

She’d barely unlatched the seatbelt before he seized her upper arm and dragged her from the driver’s seat. Her ankle wobbled as she tried to regain her footing. What the hell had possessed her to wear four-inch heels?

“Spread your hands on the hood,” he ordered.

She complied. Luckily, the car hadn’t been running long enough for the metal to heat to an uncomfortable level.

Large hands ran over her torso and thighs. Instead of the cursory search, his touch lingered and caressed, coming back to cup her ass.

“Hey!” She jerked upright, only to have his heavier body lean on her and force her flat on the hood.
“So now I’ve got you on resisting arrest as well as bribery.” Humor flowed in his deep voice.

Jill tried to struggle, but he was too big, the angle too wrong. And from something poking the cleft of her ass, all her wiggling accomplished was to arouse him. She panted. What would he do to her?

“This is harassment,” she muttered.

“”You started this, not me.”

“I’ll scream.”

A chuckle. “Who’s going to hear you?” His hot breath followed his words in her ear. “The mill’s closed for the night, and the nearest house is three miles away.”

“What are you going to do to me?” She couldn’t control her trembling. The shakes had nothing to do with fear. The only real question was how he would take her.

“Well, you did mention something about a trade.” Those huge hands stroked her thighs, edged up under the denim mini-skirt she wore. Pride had filled her when she’d lost enough weight to wear it again. Those callused hands molded her ass, and she felt his sharp intake of breath. “No panties? Just what kind of slut are you?”

Her breasts swelled at her helplessness. He could do anything he wanted to her out here. Anything.

Yes, I Changed the Cover

Apparently, my subtle sense of humor, not to mention my suggestive photo manipulation skills with three cherries, were lost on the public.

So after much wailing, gnashing of the teeth and a little champagne, I uploaded Three's Company with an alternate cover.

Unfortunately, the sales figures speak for themselves. Say "Toodles, cherries!"  And say "Ooo-la-la!" to the new cover.

My Mentor Makes the NYT Bestseller List!

For those of you who don't know, the Luscious Lyla Sinclair has been my mentor. She's guided me through the shark-infested waters of publishing to reach my lovely little island of happiness.

This week Lyla hit the New Times Bestseller List for E-books at #26 with Training Tessa, a first-time accomplishment that is more marvelous if you knew how hard she worked through adversity that would cause even the toughest alpha male to swoon

If you're so inclined, please send warm wishes to Lyla at her website.

Bound By Desire Is Now Available

What? You all believed I was frolicking on the beach with Daniel and Pierce since the release of Tied by Lust last February?

Tut, tut, my lovelies! I've been toiling away on my little stories for your wicked pleasure because I adore you! Then there is the matter of properly training the new, very gorgeous and very blond, editor I recently employed. Of course, it doesn't help when I literally must place the boys in leashes to keep them from showing their affection for said young lady. *sigh*

To alert my fair readers, I must state that Bound By Desire is far darker than my usual merry wont. Not only is Ryan the proverbial tortured hero, poor Micki has been through far more agony and it has affected her more deeply than her friends realize.

Blurb
Four friends. Four secrets. One dare.

Not even Officer Micki Donovan’s closest friends know the truth about her dead partner—Lee was also her lover. When Alicia issues her dare to find a hot guy for some hot sex, Micki sees the challenge as permission to move on with her life. And she already has her eyes on a target—Army Lt. Ryan Caulfield.

Micki soon discovers Ryan has scars from his own past. While Micki’s perfectly willing to give him the compassion and understanding he needs to heal, she’s reluctant to accept the same from Ryan. Can Micki stop blaming herself for Lee’s death, or will the memory of a dead man come between her and her chance for happiness?

Three's Company Now Available

I told you I had too many lovely thoughts while putting together covers. If I can write something this wicked while inspired by a pictures of sweet, innocent cherries, heaven help my readers when they see the cover for Bound By Desire.

Blurb

When a gorgeous hunk moves into their condo building, Charity and Hope flip their lucky quarter to see who seduces him. When the coin lands on its edge, there’s only one thing for the girls to do—share him.

***Warning! This story is meant for readers 18 years of age and over. It contains scenes of masturbation, voyeurism, female-female sex, oral sex, anal sex, and group sex.

Novelette, approximately 13,500 words or 45 printed pages

Finally! All the sales links are live!


Sample
Billy's head tilted, his lips millimeters from Charity's. “But you didn’t answer my question.”
Liquid flooded her pussy. She was already on edge from her own imagination and Hope’s flirting. And now Billy.
“What question was that?” She breathed the words more than spoke them.
“What game are you two playing?” Billy braced those muscular arms on either side of her, effectively trapping her. All he had to do was press his body against hers, and she could wrap her legs around his waist.
She blinked. “We’re not playing any game.”
“Then why are you both coming on to me?’
Damn. Why, oh why, couldn’t she lie? Charity swallowed the lump in her throat. “Because of our lucky quarter.”
“Lucky quarter?”
He was so close. It made thinking straight so hard when her blood throbbed in her swollen tits, in her pussy.
She licked her lips. “To keep our friendship intact, we flip our lucky quarter if there’s a guy we’re both interested in.”
A wicked grin lit his face. “So who won me?”
“Both of us.”
This time Billy blinked, a shocked expression on his face. “Both of you?”
She nodded. “It landed on its edge. We decided in seventh grade if our lucky quarter ever landed on its edge, we’d…share.” His intense gaze became too much, and her attention dropped to his package. His very erect package.
“You decided? In seventh grade?”
Her eyes met his again. “I calculated the odds of a quarter landing on its edge to be one chance in four million, three hundred ninety-five thousand, six hundred seventy-eight.” She shrugged. “Even if Hope and I dated two million men each, the odds of both of us being interested in the same guy and the quarter landing on its edge made it a statistical improbability.”
“You calculated?”
“Yes.”
“But you thought it would never happen?”
“Well, if you factor in our projected lifetimes, adjusting for family medical history and accident-proneness, it…” Those intense eyes of his penetrated her, and all she could think of was something else of his penetrating her. Filling her. Making her come so hard she screamed.
Charity gulped air. “…seemed mathematically improbable the edge clause would come into play,” she finished in a whisper.
“Until now.”
“Until now,” she agreed.
“Does this mean the three of us…?”
She nodded. “Hope’s probably waiting in the shower, wondering where we are.”
Billy pressed his body against her. His cock nestled against her stomach sent electric quivers through her pussy. “What if I want to watch the two of you fuck each other first?”
Good. He wasn’t flipping out. After learning he was Moody’s grandson, she half-expected him to be as prudish as the property manager. And God help her, she wanted both Billy and Hope tonight.
Charity smiled. “Any style or with anything in particular?”
He closed his eyes and opened them. “Use your imagination.”

Bated Breath

For those of you anxiously checking, I sent Micki's story, Bound By Desire, to my editor last Thursday. (Well, technically Friday since I pressed the 'send' button well after midnight!)

The cover is done and as marvelous as the one for Tied By Lust. In the meantime, I'm scribbling the words to Diana's tale, Taken By Passion, while waiting for the editorial notes.

I'm very surprised and deliriously pleased that you readers have taken my D.C. quartet to heart. Thank you for your support!

Writing Furiously Instead Of...

I poked my head out from under my hat to realize three weeks have passed since my last post.

Why a hat you ask? Because one should always wear UV protection under a tropical sun while typing delicious new stories for her readers. And such prevention is the reason people believe moi is much younger than she is.

While Pierce scouts delightful photographs to use as covers, I find I'm intrigued by pictures he passes by. I make him stop and go back because my vivid imagination is conjuring all sorts of sinful situations for those impressive images.

Therefore, I must duck under my hat while lounging on the lanai with my laptop.

Take care lovelies! And have a marvelous weekend!

And to tide you over, here's one of those photos that have my brain cells engaging in all kinds of wicked thoughts.

When Retail Is Educational and Fun

Ten years ago, I worked at an adult boutique. Of course, our customers covered a wide range of of tastes and lifestyles. That didn't surprise me.

What did was the essential cluelessness of some of my co-workers.

It was the new girl's second week when one of our regulars came in. He asked me if any new lines of lingerie had come in since his last visit. New Girl jumped in and offered to help him.

Now, we didn't get commissions, but obviously New Girl felt the need to prove herself.

Our customer made his selections and asked for a couple of other items. And despite his requests, New Girl is still not putting two and two together. She offers to gift wrap the lingerie and other accessories for his wife.

Luckily, this customer is a total gentlemen and politely declined.

New Girl offers again. I lean over and whisper to her, "He doesn't want them wrapped. Let it go."

But, no, New Girl has to prove she's a better salesperson than me. She asks once again about gift wrapping the  items for his wife. At this point, our customer smiles and says, "Honey, they're for me."

New Girl turns beet red and starts stammering. I end up having to ring up the sale because New Girl hits so many wrong keys that her register freezes up on her. I apologize profusely because New Girl can no longer talk. As I said, this customer was so sweet and polite. He didn't hold it against us.

Needless to say, New Girl only lasted a couple more weeks before she quit.

I, on the other, got a boatload of material for stories out of this job. *grin*

My Book Is Published

Tonight, I uploaded my book, Tied By Lust. It's the first in the Secrets series about four friends. Each woman hides something from the others, believing they will condemn her salacious desires. But they have far more in common than they realize.

Blurb

Four friends. Four secrets. One dare.

Alicia Thomas finally told her friends the reason she divorced her husband—she caught him in his office, naked, a ball gag in his mouth while a prostitute spanked his lily-white ass. But she can’t admit her own fantasy—being at the total mercy of her ex’s gorgeous boss, Richard Brand.

Then in a chance encounter one stormy night, Richard offers to make Alicia’s desires come true. Alicia learns not only to submit to Richard, but his friends as well, and she glories in every minute. But can she abandon her new life when she discovers that Richard’s games have more to do with revenge on her ex-husband than Richard’s desire for her?

***Warning! This story is meant for readers 18 years of age and over. It contains scenes of male domination, spanking, bondage, oral sex, anal sex, and group sex.

Novella, 22,000 words or approx. 75 pages.
