<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Blurb</b></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It might look weird for a musician to *fangirl* another
musician, but Ed Finley didn’t give a damn. He adored and had a crush on singer
and pianist, Gavin O’Malley—to the point of sticking O’Malley’s pin-ups all
over the walls of his room. Ed thought his dream had come true when he was
scheduled to perform together with his idol on stage.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gavin O’Malley thought Ed was okay when they ended up being
together that night. The night meant everything to Ed, while it was only
another one-night stand for Gavin.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ed decides to stay away while Gavin, after rejecting Ed,
couldn’t stop thinking about the other man. Will Gavin get a chance to tell Ed
his true feelings?</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<b style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As soon as he got to L.A., Ed realized the mistake he’d
made. Everything reminded him of Gavin, especially the invites to small jam
sessions and dinners with fellow artists. He’d tried to avoid them all, but
Nina, his assistant, kept reminding him not to miss those occasions.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Don’t you see that I’m a human being, too? I’m tired,
okay?”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Instead of answering, Nina squinted at him before she
thrust an envelope at him.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“What’s that?” Suspicion crept into his heart.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“A live awards ceremony. Music awards. Next week.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Oh.” He took the invitation and looked at the card. It was
a national show and it was going to be aired live on a major channel. It was a
big deal. He glanced back at Nina. “Am I a nominee or something?” That was
impossible. He’d have found out right away if he was nominated in a category.
“Or am I going to present an award? How did you get this invitation?” Nina knew
very well this wasn’t his type of thing.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She chuckled softly. The traitor.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Relax. I didn’t have to kiss someone’s ass or get down on
my knees for this. You’re an online phenomenon, Ed. They knew they’d get more
publicity if they had you at their show.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ed wasn’t particularly afraid of what Nina would do if she
wanted something, though he did worry about her sometimes. She’d do anything to
get the things she wanted. But this was going to be a huge event with hundreds
of celebrities. It was harmless. Safe. Even if Ed saw <em>him</em> there, he
could easily slip away and hide. He sighed.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“All right. I’ll go.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Yay. I’ll RSVP.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ed rolled his eyes as he turned his back on a delighted
Nina, who was already on the phone.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The invitation ruined the plan he’d made. Without Nina’s
knowledge, he’d made a reservation to rent a cabin on a vineyard resort he
often went to in Northern California. He needed fresh air and a place to clear
his head. He’d thought being in L.A. would help, but the feeling that he could
run into Gavin in any corner of the city kept haunting him. The shame—Ed could
not get rid of it. He was lucky Gavin hadn’t talked to a tabloid about how Ed
Finley literally threw himself at him and thought he had a chance to be Gavin
O’Malley’s boyfriend.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A week or so on the vineyard would do him good. Too bad Ed
had to postpone it now. He took a shuddering breath and cooked up another plan.
The minute he left the award show, he would be on his way to escape to
Moonshine Valley.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">****<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nina walked ahead of Ed on the red carpet. He smiled
inwardly at the sight of her—a diminutive figure, yet looking confident and
ready to take any action Ed needed her to. Tonight she was lit up in her small,
bright red dress with her golden hair tied up into a small chignon. She was
pretty, Ed would give her that. He wouldn’t mind having her as his girlfriend
if he liked girls. As it was, Ed didn’t mind taking her as his date tonight,
though <em>she</em> might have minded if he’d insisted on going in his shirt
and jeans.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Ed!”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ed jerked his head up. “Yeah?” He had been unaware of
zoning out for a second there.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nina gestured at him impatiently, so he headed toward her.
She was standing near the velvet railing with a man on the other side of it who
had a microphone in his hand.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Hi,” greeted Ed. “How’re you doing?”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Can you believe it? Louis Montague from the blog Louis’
Notes, himself! He wants to talk to you, Ed.” Nina sounded too chirpy for his
liking, and his eyes narrowed in suspicion because the girl knew him well. He
turned back to the man and offered his hand. Louis accepted and shook it hard.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Ed Finley. It’s so great to finally see you.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Hi, Louis. Glad to see you too. I hope you like my songs.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Like your songs? I love them. They’re brilliant, man.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Come on.” Ed felt positively embarrassed. After all this
time, he still couldn’t believe people actually listened to his work. He looked
around and cursed silently when he found that Nina had disappeared.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I’m serious. They’re emotional and fans really relate to them.
I can’t stop listening to them. What’s coming up next from you?”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Um.” Ed scratched his head, then promptly removed his
wandering fingers. He’d spent more time than was necessary trying to tame his
red curls, and he knew Nina would scold him for ruining them. “I write songs
every night or between shows. I can’t stop the ideas from coming into my head.
They keep bugging me until I write them down.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Sounds so easy for you.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Oh no, not at all. They’re raw ideas and thoughts. Mostly
I still have to find the right tune for them, not to mention the lyrics and the
music arrangements. Half of the raw ideas I have had have ended up in the
garbage bin. Only half became full songs and just one or two of them get to be
produced.” Ed thought he heard Louis mutter something. “Excuse me?”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Louis shook his head. “Nah. Just—if I tried to write songs,
they would all get dumped.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ed snickered. “You don’t know that. You should try writing
someday if you get an interesting idea.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I’d rather listen to yours, thanks.” Louis smiled widely.
“So are you going to present an award tonight?”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“No. I’ll just sit tight and sweet in the audience. My
pretty Nina did a good job finding me a place in there. She—” Ed waved sideways
and stopped short. He gaped and his breathing became erratic. He hadn’t
expected anyone to be standing next to him, to be so close to him, like…like…<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Hi, Ed.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>

Her works have been
published by <em>Evernight Publishing, JMS Books, Books to Go Now, Torquere

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Iyana lives in Jakarta, a city famous for its traffic jams,
a lot of cars and motorcycles, and people selling stuff on the roads. You can
spend two hours on the road going to a place you can reach in half an hour in a
normal situation. Thanks to the traffic jams, though, Iyana can come up with a
lot of stories, mostly shorties, as she prefers to spend the time during her
trips writing into her cell phone rather than sleeping.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, it would appear to have taken me until the 22nd of January to wish you all a happy 2015... but let's not pretend you expected anything different from me! Still, I offer my apologies. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">January has been a strange month for me. I've spent most of it in my study, writing. It's where I like to be and what I like to do, but the amount of deadlines (self-imposed and otherwise) that I'm currently working to is a little bit daunting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Christmas season is fast approaching for Jesse Goldmen and George Sirus, and their forced break up weighs heavily on their sanity. Trying to keep a connection alive is almost impossible as they turn to stolen late night dinners and secret meetings, which never seem enough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Zac Goldmen takes an interest in George’s slave, Elliot. Being told no only makes Zac want Elliot more, so he starts a ridiculous campaign to try and shock and charm Elliot into bed. But his advances are put on hold when Elliot gets outed in the aftermath of the blackmail scandal, causing a big media storm for him and his father the Vice President.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The doorbell rang early in the morning. Elliot had finished his chores and was sitting on the floor next to the fire, working on his homework. There was no one else in the penthouse, and he wasn’t expecting anyone. When he wrenched open the heavy, ornate door he found Zac, Jesse’s brother, staring back at him wearing fireman pants and suspenders to hold them up. His body was smeared with charcoal, and he looked oiled. Elliot was entirely confused. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“The exact face I wanted to see.” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Can I help you, Sir?” Elliot reverted to his training.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
“Yes, I have a hose that needs servicing.” Zac grinned wickedly. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Elliot tried not to let the shock show on his face. “I’m sorry, the King is out. Can I take a message?” He shifted and squirmed, getting flustered at the seeming advance from the beautiful redhead. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I didn’t want it from him.” The bulge in Zac’s pants was noticeable, and Elliot tried not to stare. “And I knew he was gone.” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“How did you know he was gone?” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I watched his car through the camera I installed above his parking space ‘til it left.” He flattened out his mouth and raised both brows like it was no big deal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Elliot stared. </div>

About the Author</div>
<div>
<div>
When not staying up all night writing, J.R Gray can be found basking in the warm glow of the Miami sun, or at the gym where it's half assumed Gray is a permanent resident. A dominant, pilot, and sword fighting enthusiast, Gray finds it hard to be in the passenger seat of any car. Gray frequently interrupts real life, including normal sleep patterns, to jot down nonsense. The bane of Gray's existence are commas, and even though it's been fully acknowledged they are necessary, they continue to baffle and bewilder. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If Gray wasn't writing…well, that's not possible. The buildup of untold stories would haunt Gray into an early grave or possibly a mental institution where the tales would end up on the walls in crayon and finger paint.</div>

Whitley has kindly agreed to an interview. Read on to find out, amongst other things, what makes this writer write!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Let’s start with the basics. Why write?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’m a voracious reader. I read so many books I decided I wanted to give it a try. Technical writing is part of my job, but I wanted to get back to fiction, like I’d written as a kid.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And why did you write this book? Why now?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In Denver, Washington Park is full of people pursuing various physical activities, like biking and running. I wanted to write a story where two guys met in an unconventional way: not on a blind date or at a bar or through friends. <i>Crash Pad</i> is the story of an accidental meeting—literally. A runner and a rollerblader “crash” into each other.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Summer inspired me to write this story, although I had originally begun it in January when the weather was cold. I put it aside until summer hit, and then finished it up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;">Are you ever conscious of wanting to share a message through your work? If so, what is it? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No, no message. I write because I enjoy it. Interpersonal relationships are fascinating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;">If I gave you permission to rewrite the first book you ever had published, would you?</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first was a serial story called Meredith Medical Center. Yes, I probably would rewrite that, as it was erotica. I’d like to pull out a couple of the characters and flesh out their backstories and evolving relationship beyond the sex.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;">Are you the same author now as you were when you started?</span> Definitely not. I’ve evolved into an M/M only writer at this point. And I like to think I’m getting better with every book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;">It’s Friday night and I’m going to give you two hundred quid to spend getting up to whatever mischief you want. Which of your characters are you going to take with you and what are you going to do?</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hmm…I’d say Errol from Midwinter Night’s Dream. I’d like to see the stage play he wrote.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;">And finally. In a world where you and your characters co-exist, who would be your best friend, and whose invitation to dinner keeps getting lost in the mail?</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My best friend would be Ash from Rabbit Wars; he’s a chocolatier and a fabulous dessert maker. The one who I’d never accept would be Xav-D, the Valentine killer from High Concept. Of course, he’s in prison, so dinner might be tough. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thanks so much for stopping by Whitley, and thanks for sharing an excerpt from <b>Crash Pad </b>with us! </span><br />

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Blurb</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Physician Remy Marshall has two loves: Emergency Medicine and running. Work doesn’t leave much time to meet guys, and most seem more interested in his bank account than him. With a week off to train for a marathon, Remy plans to make the most of his precious vacation. The last thing he needs is a distraction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jamie Sutton is new to the area. He hopes to make a fresh start after leaving an abusive relationship with an orthopedic surgeon. He’s got a new job as a massage therapist and wants to meet some nice guys. Against his better judgment, Jamie decides the best way to meet a cute rollerblader he’s seen in the park is on wheels. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With attention on his watch and not where he’s going, Remy crashes into Jamie and fractures the first-time rollerblader’s ankle. Jamie has no one to help him after the injury; Remy proposes Jamie stay with him. Jamie is reluctant, but it’s a better option than staying with the odd guy in the neighboring motel room. As the two get acquainted, Jamie’s past comes calling. Remy discovers the prize he really wants isn’t a medal in a marathon, but the man right in front of him.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Excerpt for <i><b>Crash Pad</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What the hell had he been thinking? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jamie tottered along on the rollerblades, arms windmilling, wobbling like a man on a three-day drinking spree. A beautiful morning: sky a serene blue, sunlight dappling the lawns with green and gold, the fresh scent of newly mowed grass. All the things he loved about the park on his daily forays. Now all his attention was focused on surviving this excursion into bad judgment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The hot-as-Hades helmet and safety gear looked ridiculous. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cute Rollerblade Guy didn’t wear all this crap. On the other hand, Cute Rollerblade Guy could skate. That coppery ponytail and beard… <i>Mmm, mmm.</i> Too bad the guy wasn’t a runner like Jamie. It would have been easier to meet him—safer, for sure. A shirtless runner, in shorts. <i>Yeah… </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> A girl yelled, “Look out, Mister,” and whizzed by on his right. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Jamie stuttered on his skates and then got his equilibrium. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The broad path stretched before him like a concrete snake, a thousand times as long and just as dangerous. Kids half his size zoomed past on their wheels, perfect balance, full of confidence and laughter. He wiped a hand across his sweaty forehead. God, he felt like an inept giant. Might as well be ten and at the roller rink with his sister. Why did adults think this was fun? And why did he feel the need to risk his neck at age twenty-eight? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Because you want to meet Cute Rollerblade Guy.</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> He coasted forward a few feet—<i>too fast, too fast</i>—and grabbed on to a light pole. Yeah, this would impress the man. Two miles an hour, gyrating like a weathervane in a wind storm. <i>Can anyone say idiot?</i> There had to be a better way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> His truck was at least half a mile away in the east lot. Okay, he had a choice: take off the blades and walk in his stocking feet to the parking area or suck it up and blade there. Wouldn’t take that long, just a few minutes. Or hours. Or days. He blew out a breath. Cute Rollerblade Guy hadn’t showed yet. Maybe he’d skate past before Jamie either reached the parking lot or sustained a grievous injury. A glance to the right, and he cautiously re-entered the foot, bike, and blade traffic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">* * * * </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Two miles to go.</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Remy’s running shoes slapped on the asphalt path through the park. As he passed the mile marker, he glanced at his watch. Seven minutes for the last mile. To be competitive in next month’s marathon, he’d need to get it down to six and a half. He hit the Reset button and picked up the pace. A little crowded on the path, but otherwise a perfect day to add a couple of miles onto his usual six. They’d had snow last year at this time. Old Man Winter had blessed them with one last blizzard on Memorial Day before going into hibernation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This afternoon, people packed the recreation areas around the lake. Screeches and laughter came from the playground. The fragrance of grilled steak wafted over from the picnic area, and his stomach growled. Remy shook out his hands. On pace for six and a half minutes. <i>Good.</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> By the time he got home, he’d need to rush through his shower to get ready for tonight. The guy Brett planned to introduce him to better be worth the trouble. A double date/blind date for dinner wasn’t Remy’s idea of a good time. Of course, alone at home wasn’t any better. If the guy turned out to be a dud, Remy could claim a headache and leave early. As he turned the corner, the sun flashed in his eyes. He ducked his head, squinted at his watch, and kept running. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Thwack. </i></span><br />

She's kindly agreed to let me interview her so read on to find out why, and what, Lea writes and for a sneaky look at a new extract from her latest book!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First things first, tell us a little bit about yourself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I like my reads fast, hot, and edgy, and strive to give my own stories the same intensity. After venturing into dirty inner-city crime drama with my debut novel Wild Hearted, I divide my writing time between psychological thriller, erotic contemporary romance, and dripping erotica.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Q) Let’s start with the basics. Why write?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I love playing with words, love plotting multi-layered stories, love developing characters, love creating drama, and more than anything, I love being part of the writing and publishing community. The feedback from readers, fellow authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers in the two years following my first release has been so gratifying and encouraging, I can’t imagine not writing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Q) And why did you write this book? Why now?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I got the idea for the Hot Model Mine series, “erotic romance author meets cover model of her book”, in March and decided to explore it. Not that I didn’t already have enough works in progress, lol, but once I started visualizing some of the scenes—the hotter ones, may I add—I had to give it top priority and knew I could get book one written relatively quickly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Q) Are you ever conscious of wanting to share a message through your work? If so, what is it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes, I have some pretty strong socio-political opinions and, in the beginning, used my writing to get messages “out to the world”. These included deep-felt sympathy, acceptance and respect (not just superficial tolerance) for society pariahs such as the poor and the persecuted in general, Native Americans and the Romani in particular, alcoholics, drug addicts, the homeless, the lonely, the mistreated, the abused... I’ve also discussed fathers’ rights, children’s rights, single parents’ rights, gay and bisexuals’ rights, the sick/disabled and elderly’s rights... To mention just a few!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Q) If I gave you permission to rewrite the first book you ever had published, would you?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Funny you should ask, as I’m halfway through comprehensive editing of my debut novel. Almost two years after its publication, I’ve learned enough about the writing craft to take upon myself the task of cleaning and tightening it. Does that sound pretentious?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That doesn't sound pretentious at all! ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Q) Are you the same author now as you were when you started?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlP0bur9QLmny5t5XM4W2DE83hOhFxPBAAXg-K5bbnfMJNQ9gxlYJh2Osl0wAgwnrtFvFBpjEP4tRGj4eBqM73KzlolOum2cDEOTX4nCyZLnCCn_JzeTXfEeP1IP80UD2EGz1F__A_hdQ/s1600/epeditorsesal1s.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlP0bur9QLmny5t5XM4W2DE83hOhFxPBAAXg-K5bbnfMJNQ9gxlYJh2Osl0wAgwnrtFvFBpjEP4tRGj4eBqM73KzlolOum2cDEOTX4nCyZLnCCn_JzeTXfEeP1IP80UD2EGz1F__A_hdQ/s1600/epeditorsesal1s.png" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No. As mentioned earlier, I started out as an angry writer sending out messages, and now that I’ve gotten some of those off my chest, I’ve become a calmer person writing stories for the fun of it and focusing on quality. I’ve also acquired a much-needed dose of self-esteem lately, upon receiving Evernight’s special honor Editor’s Pick. It means I’m not questioning my writing abilities nearly as much as I used to, and I trust my author “flair” a lot more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Q) It’s Friday night and I’m going to give you two hundred quid to spend getting up to whatever mischief you want. Which of your characters are you going to take with you and what are you going to do?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh, tough question. Mischief? I think I’d invite Shawn Torien, the rock star hero of my second book My Biggest Fan, because that boy is bound to bring out the best in me. Not! *laughs* First we’d get drunk senseless, and then we’d go to the coolest rock ‘n roll tattoo shop, ha ha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Q) And finally. In a world where you and your characters co-exist, who would be your best friend, and whose invitation to dinner keeps getting lost in the mail?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My bestie would probably be Luz from Wild Hearted. She resembles me in so many ways, likes the same things, and has the same political views. We’d have tons of stuff to talk about. Whereas her boyfriend, the shrewd gangster Tomor, is a walking disaster with no social skills!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thank you so much for having me, Douglas! Cool questions. <span style="color: yellow;">You're very welcome! Great interview!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here’s a little info about my new release, The Perfect Shoot (Hot Model Mine 1):</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2lu3g1xgpYmBpl9ocro24ctKwo2_Y8mcCHhXJH5wdApaqsgqp-Pifa4vH9FiAiuB7b3hKeaPSej3K5j3BjO5ZbHZtGkU6Mae6Ap2VUSM0hoQCgdromUoaxCaoKDYbM9m8b3A8zP3rJzo/s1600/theperfectshoot3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2lu3g1xgpYmBpl9ocro24ctKwo2_Y8mcCHhXJH5wdApaqsgqp-Pifa4vH9FiAiuB7b3hKeaPSej3K5j3BjO5ZbHZtGkU6Mae6Ap2VUSM0hoQCgdromUoaxCaoKDYbM9m8b3A8zP3rJzo/s1600/theperfectshoot3.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">BLURB:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Andrea Johnson, writing as author Cindy Vega, signed up for a Meet & Greet with the cover model of her latest book, she didn’t expect sparks to fly. Yushka is dangerously good-looking and too young for her. But their connection is instantaneous, and during a photo shoot with the two, the photographer picks up on their growing attraction. Seeing the potential for the cover photo of the century, he decides to push their comfort limits...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">EXCERPT: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">An assistant calls Yushka’s name. Bare-chested, the Asian hunk appears from a group of models, strolls to the spotlights, and waits in front of the camera with the confident stance of a professional. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The whole place quiets as if in awe. He’s unbelievably beautiful with his tanned, bulging muscles and washboard-abs-to-die-for. When photographer Lemaître asks him to undo his hair, a black waterfall lands on his shoulders and down his back. A few muffled feminine squeals fill the silence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One by one, authors whose books he appears on get a few pictures taken with him in flattering positions, wrapping their arms around his back or swallowed up in his embrace, beaming like schoolgirls at their first prom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jealousy rips through me so violently I can barely breathe, but my time is up soon, and I hate that even more. I’m non-photogenic, and seeing pictures of myself makes me sick. I’ve chosen a sexy, black top and matching short skirt for the occasion, but looking my best doesn’t help. My stomach ties in a knot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Cindy Vega,” an assistant calls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fuck, that’s me. I’m dead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Go,” Laurie says, giving me a small push.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All muscles tense, I leave my safe corner and join Yushka. He greets me with a placid face, but from the warmth in his pupils, I get a feeling he’s glad to see me. Side by side, narrowing our eyes from the piercing light, we face Lemaître and wait for orders. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Damn. Being so near Yushka’s naked torso is unbearable, as is the heat from the lamps shining on us. Sweat beads roll down the sides of my chest, between my breasts. He endures, too. A thin film of sweat coats his golden skin, making it glow, but he doesn’t seem bothered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lemaître clears his throat. “Bon. Stand a little closer. Cindy, this is for Eden Luna Publishing’s website. Officially, we want authors happily meeting their cover models, but off the record, we want sensual, we want heat. Readers will get off seeing your pictures like they do reading your books.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Stiff as a rod, I nod agreement. I’d half expected this. Problem is, I hate being in the spotlight with so many people watching, and I hate the notion of having my photo all over the internet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Sooo,” he continues, “I will ask you to just stand like this, facing me, and smile. That is all. Yushka knows what he has to do.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Okay.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Turning to my side, Yushka puts a hot hand on my stomach and the other on the small of my back. Though light, his touches destabilize me, as does the warm, musky scent sneaking to my nostrils. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Closer,” Lemaître orders. “Bodily contact.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Shit, I’m fucked. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The stud radiates heat as he approaches, sweaty chest sticking to my arm, heart beating against my skin. His crotch barely brushes my hip, but each pore in my body becomes acutely aware of him, on high alert. As last night’s intense arousal replays in all of me, my inner thighs clench with renewed want. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Whispers and low chuckles sound from both sides of the vast lobby. I try to forget the hundred eyes following my every move, but can’t help being distracted, bathed in full light and painfully self-conscious. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“That is better.” Like a shooting gun, Lemaître’s camera clicks and the flash blinds me repetitively. “Now, give him a smile, Cindy. You know the kind I want.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My throat so dry I can’t speak, I turn to Yushka.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He’s very near, inches from my face, black pupils gleaming with mischief. Sweat pearls on his face, making him look sexier than ever. Long, black hairs glue to his forehead and cheeks. He smells of soap, his close shave making him look baby-faced. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Seemingly at ease, the heaving of his chest regular, he stares into my eyes. I can’t believe his confidence. Modelling is his profession, but how does he stay so fucking calm?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“You wanna give me a smile?” he whispers, warm breaths brushing my chin. Behind me, his large hand sneaks lower and palms my butt cheek. With that and his other fingers splaying on my stomach, he pulls me to him, making me feel the entire length and…hardness…of his cock on my hip. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I suck in a breath. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">His lips curl up in a self-satisfied grin. “Hm, Andrea? You wanna give me a smile?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh my fucking God. I can’t help but obey while my insides go up in flames. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Flashing his teeth, he kneads my ass with a strong hand and pushes his full erection against me. He knows what he’s doing, the devil. He knows slowly rubbing me with his cock turns my pussy to burning liquid.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Somewhere, a feminine gasp breaks the silence, followed by contained laughter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Très bien, we have a smile,” Lemaître says, camera clicking, flash shooting. “Thank you, Cindy, that will be enough. Next!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Still grinning and holding my look, Yushka slowly backs off, leaving chillier air between us. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’m frozen. In shock, lust, need. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Come on, move it!” Lemaître calls. “We don’t have all day.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No shit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Blurb</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All of his life, Grayson Blackpaw lived by the rules of the half-breeds. He heeded the warnings and fought to keep the animal within under control, only to have his father murdered by the very thing his kind could never harm. Even if it means cursing himself to spend the rest of his days as a beast, Grayson was going to find the human responsible and make them pay—with their life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Shapeshifters exist. Summer Jenkins wouldn’t have believed it herself, if she hadn’t watched a cougar change into a man before her very eyes. It doesn’t hurt when the man is as delectable as Grayson, either. Utterly droolworthy, Grayson sends her pulse racing and her heart falling...fast. But when Grayson admits that he’s willing to give up everything for the sake of revenge, will love be enough or can nothing stop the curse of the beast?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Blurb</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Summer inched over on the couch until her knees brushed against his, and she placed her hand on his thigh. It was a simple gesture of reassurance but the heat of her hand seeped through the denim, branding his skin and shooting higher. Desire flooded his veins and Summer’s breathing hitched when she felt it course through him. “He wasn’t the only one to touch me in some way, Grayson.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Beginning to slowly make her way up his inner leg, Grayson grabbed her wrist before she closed what little distance there was left. If she made it to her destination, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself. He was already growing rigid in mere anticipation of her touching his length. If she actually made contact, he would lose what little restraint he held on to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Summer. I would like nothing more than to pull that dress up, plunge deep inside and take you over and over again, letting you know exactly how much I want you. But, we can’t. I won’t take the chance of hurting you.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“You’re not going to hurt me. Worrying that you will is enough for me to know that you won’t.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“You can’t know that because even I don’t. Summer, you need to understand there’s a chance I will do exactly that.” Grayson shook his head and took a breath. He wasn’t sure he could explain the constant battle of wills that had been waging inside of him for as long as he could remember, or how he’d been losing, but he needed to try. It wasn’t him just being overly cautious, there was a real danger. If he lost what little hold he had on the cougar while he was with her, he didn’t know what would or could happen. Grayson didn’t even want to think of the possibilities. “The lure of our animal halves is strong. The more we give in to them, the stronger they become. The stronger they become, the more we give in to them. Without something to stop the progression, the animal and its instincts become the predominant half and slowly overpower the human’s ability to remain in control.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“So the worst that can happen is you shift into the cougar. I can handle…”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Grayson shook his head to cut her off. That damn stubbornness of hers was more than a little frustrating. “No Summer, you can’t. The worst that can happen is not the cougar. It’s the beast.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My short story, <i style="color: yellow; font-weight: bold;">A Secret Love </i>was released by Evernight last July and it's a story I'm really proud of.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">James is nervous when he pulls into the car park of the secluded and conservative Caledonian Hotel. He slips off his wedding ring, gives a false name at reception and checks into his room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Mark finally arrives James expects their time together to conform to the usual pattern, but Mark surprises him. Mark wants candlelit dinners and walks on the beach. James, well, James just wants to make up for lost time. More importantly, he doesn’t want to get caught. They have six months left before they can leave behind everything they know and start a new life together and James is desperate to be discrete. Unfortunately, he never could control himself around Mark. Throw in an interfering old couple and some very public displays of affection and Mark and James’s short hotel stay might just be about to destroy not only the secrecy that has always shrouded their relationship, but also their plans for a future together. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello everyone! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now, I don't know about you, but I for one am very glad that it's the weekend. I've had a long week, my partner even more so and we're both feeling it. Normally, our weekends are an excuse to get out and do some exploring. Neither of us is very good at sitting still, but this weekend I'm afraid that's exactly what we're going to do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's cold, it's raining, it's generally dreich and miserable outside and I fancy staking my claim for the sofa with my Kindle, a big mug of Yorkshire's finest, and said partner for company.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Laura is a veterinarian in a country town near the spectacular Canadian Rocky Mountains. She's intelligent, beautiful, over-sized, and not interested in a relationship with any man. When she literally gets knocked off her feet by a pair of twins, she's horrified to find she can't resist the attraction. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Brandon and Tyler have been waiting for their perfect mate since they were teenagers. Brandon's buried himself in alcohol and women, but Tyler's so lonely it hurts. When they meet the voluptuous Laura they must pull together to win the heart of their fated mate, and prove why a Perfect Pair of mountain lion shifters are exactly what she needs.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Excerpt </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Laura giggled with excitement and moved up onto the huge bed so that she lay with her head on the pillow. She was really going to do this—go to bed with two men, and brothers at that! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Are you two going to join me or just stand there staring?”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The men looked between each other before they crawled onto the bed, Brandon sliding over her and using his knee to spread her legs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Open for me.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She lifted her legs and wrapped them around his still denim-clad ass. Heat pooled between her thighs as he took control of the situation. She hated to admit it, but she kinda’ loved it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He kissed her lips and she reached up for his head, dragging him down so that his chest was flat against her breasts. Tingles flared between them as his tongue speared into her mouth, a groan escaping his lips when he tasted her.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I’ll squash you,” he said against her lips and Laura laughed a little.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“You’re kidding. I love the feel of your weight on me.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She pressed on his back and encouraged him to lay more on her.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He slowly released some of the weight he held on his arms and let it sink onto her.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A contented bliss settled over her and she sighed. “Yes.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Brandon moaned and dove down to her neck, biting and sucking the skin along her throat, and moving down.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Laura closed her eyes and let embarrassing noises escape her, as Brandon’s mouth seared a path of heat and pleasure down her body. She ran her hands through Brandon’s short hair, touching him as much as possible as he made his way toward her breasts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
His wet lips slid over her flesh as he cupped one of her breasts with both of his massive hands and plumped it up for his mouth. The kneading sensation was comforting and arousing at the same time, and Laura opened her eyes to watch him enjoying her flesh.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He sucked the nipple into his mouth and she cried out, pleasure shooting down her belly to center between her legs. He suckled her over and over, then moved back onto his haunches to stare down at her.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Laura made some sort of pleading noise that left her mouth without her permission, and reached out for him with both hands.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Come back, please.” She needed his heat and weight on her. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“No, it’s my turn.” Tyler muscled his brother out of the way and reached up to pull her undies down her legs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Laura let him, impatient for more. It had been so long since she’d been touched by anything other than her vibrating toys.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Wow, you’re even beautiful here.” Tyler ran his soft fingertips over her sensitive clit and down between her folds, making Laura’s whole body buck up, and she gasped out a huffy response.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“That’s impossible, but thanks.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She wasn’t waxed or overly concerned about keeping that part of herself manicured. She didn’t have time or the inclination to be pretty for only herself. Now she was thinking maybe she should have.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Brandon moved so that he was shoulder to shoulder with his brother and stared down at her.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>You’ve got to be kidding me!</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Laura tried to close her legs, but Tyler held them wide open.</div>
<div>
Brandon shook his head and chuckled.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Laura didn’t like that at all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Don’t laugh at me.” She sat up and tried to twist away from them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Brandon fell forward and pinned her back on the bed, moving onto his side and cupping her mound with his hand.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Laura turned her head away and Brandon chuckled again, his lips moving to her ear.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I keep waiting for something about you to turn me off, but you have the best looking cunt I have ever seen.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Laura hissed and turned her face around to glare at Brandon, but it didn’t stop him talking.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“You do. It’s a beautiful pink, the lips are symmetrical, and it has the most inviting slit I have…ever…” Brandon pressed two long fingers to her opening and she titled her hips up to let him in.</div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Raven's been a very busy bee lately and she has lots of new stories to share with us all, but today, she's here to tell us all about where she sets her stories. The floor is yours, R!</i></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes it's me again. My blog visits are similar to my releases (strange that, eh? snigger), in that they follow the big red bus syndrome. None for ages then lots together.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But, hey, hopefully I don't go on about the same things all the time, so as in the words of the song, 'let me entertain you'. I'll add—I hope, and you won't roll your eyes and say 'oh her again'.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Generally, I'm very much a pantster, and go where my characters tell me. I'm often deliberately vague in describing their features, and go no further than tall, fair hair, grey eyes, slim, or whatever. I tend not to have one specific 'real life' person in mind when I write. I started to do this, when I wrote a book a couple of years ago, and suggested a specific type of hero the cover. I described him in great detail and a friend told me I'd totally spoiled the story, because he shouldn't look like that. That she liked to envisage him her way. I though about it and realized, with the characters, I was the same. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After all if a hero is described as a so and so look alike, and the reader detests that person, they're not likely to read the book. I accept not everyone will agree with me, so no rotten tomato throwing! If you want to throw anything my way, Moet and Chandon and chocolate is much appreciated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The one thing I do make sure I get right, unless there's a good reason not to is the setting. I have been known to utter very naughty, I need to wash my mouth out, words when I read a book that has the geography upside down. When I know darn well city 'A' is north of mountain 'B', and the book begs to digger, well sadly, that book goes onto my did not finish pile. It doesn't matter if it was, until then, the best thing since tasty gluten free bread, it's spoiled. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don't mean the odd house I've moved to a new location, or the house that actually doesn't exist, that's okay. After all, do my neighbours really need people knocking on their door, because someone has read about it in a book?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But topography? That's different.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's the same with historical facts. History books, the net, maps, all are easily accessed these days, and hey, they usually know what they are talking about. There's no excuse for getting basics wrong. Someone will always notice. I well remembering as a very new newbie arguing the toss over a word I knew fine well wasn't used in Regency times. I lost, and boy was I lambasted by several readers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Accuracy matters.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Chance Devereux and Ryder Adkins have worked on the same TV series for three years and share a house near the set. Yet Chance can only watch from afar when Ryder gets engaged. Even though Chance is still deep in the closet, he can't help be jealous. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Since the first day of shooting, Ryder has had his sights on his costar, but Chance has a girlfriend and Ryder thinks Chance is straight. After years without a concrete result, Ryder decides to forget his desire to be with Chance and go back to Mike. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">During a hiatus, Chance does an interview with journalist, Sebastian Vanderbilt. Sebastian opens Chance's eyes, and he decides he needs to make Ryder his. Can they work it out, or are they all out of retakes?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>Excerpt</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Without waiting for Mike’s answer, he slid his phone open and scrolled down to Chance’s number. Ryder glanced briefly at Mike, who simply nodded and turned away to give him a semblance of privacy. Ryder turned his attention back to the call he was making and nearly jerked in anticipation when it was answered.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Hey. Chance, it’s—”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I’m sorry, but Chance can’t answer the phone right now.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ryder’s eyes bulged. Taken aback, he swallowed. “W-what? Who is this?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“May I ask who’s speaking, please?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It’s, uh, Ryder. I’m his, his best friend—”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Oh, Ryder. Sure.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ryder lifted an eyebrow when the man laughed a little.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Chance talks a lot about you,” the man went on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Thanks, but….” Ryder’s eyes flickered to Mike, who was observing him closely. His mind began to wander to places he didn’t want to go. How could he not? The man had Chance’s cell. “Where is he? Do you mind if I talk to him?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“No, of course not.” The man sighed. “But he really can’t.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“What? What happened? What have you done to him?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Whoa, wait a second. I’ve done nothing to him. But he’s asleep right now. He hasn’t been able to sleep for some time. He’s been in so much pain he couldn’t even rest.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ryder slumped in his seat, rubbing his face. “Oh, God.” Mike had been right. Feeling lightheaded, Ryder whispered into the mouthpiece. “What’s wrong with him? God, is he okay now?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Yeah, I truly hope so. He’s much calmer now. He caught a stomach bug a couple of days ago.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“And you’re—you’re Sebastian, right? Sebastian Vanderbilt? I saw the pictures.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“That’s me. Oh, and Ryder?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Yes?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I heard about your engagement. Congratulations, man.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Well, I don’t—”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Hey, look,” Sebastian cut him off. “I’d love to talk to you, but I really have to go. I’ll tell Chance that you called, okay?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Wait, Sebastian. I’m just… you know, I—” But it was too late. Sebastian had hung up. Sucking in a breath, Ryder could only gawk in disbelief.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">****</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sebastian didn’t know for sure why he felt reluctant to talk to Ryder. He had no reason to feel threatened by him, though if the way Chance talked about Ryder in the interview was anything to go by, Sebastian might have to consider how he felt toward the guy. This was such a new thing for him, feeling insecure. He wasn’t that kind of guy. Sebastian wondered what Chance had done to him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Back in the guestroom where Chance was resting, Sebastian found him awake. Chance’s gaze wandered, his expression half-studying his surroundings, half-wondering how or why he was there in the first place. He turned to Sebastian only when he heard him clear his throat. Warmth surged in Sebastian’s heart at the fleeting blush on Chance’s freckled face. He wondered what Chance thought about the room. Sebastian loved his place, but perhaps it was childish to want to hear what Chance had to say about it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sebastian went to sit next to Chance, reaching out to feel his brow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Chance groaned, shying away. “I’m not a child, Sebastian.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“No.” Sebastian smiled. “But you gave me quite a scare.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Sorry.” Chance looked down.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Hey, that’s not your fault. You were sick and obviously you hadn’t fully recovered when you left the hospital. How are you feeling now?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Much better.” Chance licked his lips.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Water?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Please.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sebastian watched Chance drink slowly, and when he pulled back, some drips still clung to his lower lip. Sebastian knew he’d been staring, and he completely ignored the glass shoved back into his palm. Finally, he chuckled, put the glass away on the nightstand, and took off his shirt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Chance’s eyes widened before they darkened a bit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“May I?” Sebastian gestured toward a space on Chance’s huge, fluffy pillow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Chance shifted a little to give him more room, much to his delight. He slipped under the cover and could feel Chance stiffen slightly. His face—mere inches from Sebastian’s—was taut before he relaxed and snuggled into Sebastian’s bare chest. Chance’s body felt sleep warm under his thin T-shirt, and Sebastian braved Chance’s reaction and slid a hand under it. He palmed Chance’s flat abs and up to his muscled torso, sighing appreciatively at the deep moan wrenched out of Chance’s throat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Beautiful,” Sebastian said huskily. “Very beautiful.” He tweaked a nipple and was rewarded with the stretched column of Chance’s smooth neck as he threw his head back, lips parting, his guttural growl sending Sebastian’s blood to his groin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Iyana lives in Jakarta, a city famous for its traffic jams, a lot of cars and motorcycles, and people selling stuff on the roads. You can spend two hours on the road going to a place you can reach in half an hour in a normal situation. Thanks to the traffic jams, though, Iyana can come up with a lot of stories, mostly shorties, as she prefers to spend the time during her trips writing into her cell phone rather than sleeping. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another thing Iyana loves is kitties. Right now she has three of them. Their names are Cil, Horus, and Betsy, and one kitten. When she doesn’t write, she plays with them, or they would play with her when she writes.</div>

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>You may remember my 'Where Writers Write' series of blogposts, in which myself and other authors take you inside the studies and offices and coffee shops where we do our writing (not to mention our fair share of staring off into space while drinking copious quantities of tea). </i></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Well, today the lovely Rachell Nichole is here to show us where she makes that magic happen. Take it away, Rachell!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Douglas, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thanks so much for having me stop by. When you first told me about your Where Writers Write series of blog posts, I was super excited because I have just finished setting up my brand new office, which along with being a giant logistical pain in my ass, was also a lot of fun! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For starters, this is the doorway we had to wrestle my desk through last month: </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJfJM_7WMzi5JIoDMntbAHvtqtwz1RVrBGHbGVp5gB9Yjdy_0aT6rudHd1JIQHvZw8vqEb45Ulg0sQAh75kPPGFVkxgIPO25VX2XUfmcHZg1LUGttDpkhz1lBjbeoP6amFNBijPgBKUo/s1600/DSCF6397.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJfJM_7WMzi5JIoDMntbAHvtqtwz1RVrBGHbGVp5gB9Yjdy_0aT6rudHd1JIQHvZw8vqEb45Ulg0sQAh75kPPGFVkxgIPO25VX2XUfmcHZg1LUGttDpkhz1lBjbeoP6amFNBijPgBKUo/s1600/DSCF6397.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Oh, yeah, that was FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC, let me tell ya! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So here’s a shot of the finished product: my shiny new office! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicn3GzDqEGxr7kcx6fKP8PqYq-rlf7oBVA1hXSeUoxW9Ro-_mBB24gJt28Ss4Z1FMOLWATOL7PftYa79-CVpASvUX4CrFOtXSmnBttzSS1lfeonmSPXwlJsql-veqo9CGytGbFYTj-cLk/s1600/DSCF6396.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicn3GzDqEGxr7kcx6fKP8PqYq-rlf7oBVA1hXSeUoxW9Ro-_mBB24gJt28Ss4Z1FMOLWATOL7PftYa79-CVpASvUX4CrFOtXSmnBttzSS1lfeonmSPXwlJsql-veqo9CGytGbFYTj-cLk/s1600/DSCF6396.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now this might look like a small space for most people, but since I’m rather small myself at 5’2” this is like my own personal little hidey hole and I fucking love it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the left above my laptop (an ever-present fixture on my desk) you’ll see my multi-purpose board. In addition to being your resident guru for all things naughty, I also do a lot of other stuff. I teach, I run my own side business through a direct sales company, and I’m an avid traveler. So the board right above my desk is chock full of all those pieces of my life, staring me straight in the face every time I sit down at the desk to work. It’s my to-do lists, my writing quotes and inspirations, my accolades from previous writing accomplishments, and cute little sayings like, “Being a bitch is part of my charm.” And there’s also a print of the Moulin Rouge circa 1900 that I got in Paris a few years back in the photo frame. On the left of that, which you can’t really see in the photo is a poster of love quotes, an important thing to remember for a romance author, and my Writer’s Block: When your imaginary friends refuse to talk to you clock. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is where the magic happens folks… plus, it’s red, which is just too damned cool to speak of, and it has everything I need in an office. ☺ I recently moved, and this is the first time that I’ve had a fully-designated office space that was all mine. Even though the room it’s in is multipurpose, it’s all my multiple purposes, and let me tell you, it’s like nirvana up in this bitch! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now I’d like to say this is where I wrote my latest book, To Sir, but that would unfortunately be a lie. That was written back at the old place in the old office. Same desk, same computer, but a very different kind of space that was noisy as hell and crazy. But this is where I did the bulk of the edits for my newest release, so I guess that counts for something, right? </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>I'd say that definitely counts Rachell, thanks for showing us your shiny new office. It looks fantastic! Certainly makes mine look dull by comparison. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Below you can find out more about <b>To Sir, </b>the book Rachell didn't write in that office! ;-)</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To Sir, published August 26 by Loose Id, was a book I just randomly got the idea for when I was in the midst of writing two other books. It was my first foray into BDSM writing and I had to put in on hold for a bit while I was working on the other books. But Liz & Chase just wouldn’t let me forget them! And I’m glad they didn’t. I am in love with this book, and I hope you all will love it to. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here’s some more on Chase & Liz. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When Elizabeth Clark is plagued by the idea for a kinky novel she can’t shake, she has no choice but to plunge, head-first into a genre she vowed never to pursue. But when she realizes the seductive allure of submitting her will, her interest in the BDSM lifestyle becomes less academic, and downright personal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dominant and club owner, Chase Masters, has no idea what to expect when his partner books a meeting with an author doing research on the BDSM scene, but he’s blown away with the woman who walks through the door. He’s sure at first that she must be a visiting Domme, not the author. Her manner is confident, brusque, and even a bit disapproving of his lifestyle, but when he switches from his easy-going club owner mindset into his Dom voice, she instantly backs off. Perhaps she’s more submissive than she let on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chase and his club are in the crosshairs of a local senator and the bank, and he fears he might lose everything. So when Liz grudgingly agrees to be his, if only for a few weeks, he’s elated. But what kind of long-term relationship can a broke, out of work, homeless Dom offer to a burgeoning submissive who won't submit outside of the bedroom? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here’s an excerpt: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. I don’t have time for this.” Chase glared at Dusty across his desk. He knew he shouldn’t be taking out his frustrations on his partner. He was a class-A asshole, but he couldn’t seem to help himself. Each day grew more difficult. No sub, the club in some serious shit, and now this?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chase rubbed his temples, closing his eyes for a moment to block out the sight of his dark office that overlooked his club. The club they’d worked so hard to build and that they were in real danger of losing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“It’ll be good for business. Every new title on the shelves that has a damned thing to do with shades of any color helps change the minds of people like that jackass senator.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Opening his eyes, Chase shook his head. Ever the optimist, his Dusty. “People like him will never change their minds. No matter how many books are on the shelves, or movies in the theaters, or clubs like ours around the world. Some people will never get it. And whatever. We’re not asking them to join in if they don’t want to, but they have to stop trying to prevent us from doing it.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dusty flopped down into one of the chairs facing Chase’s desk. The leather creaked under his ass. Behind him, the barely lit club stared back at Chase through the one-way glass window of his office. Mocking him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“She sounded cute on the phone,” Dusty said, drawing Chase’s morose thoughts back to what he needed to focus on. At Chase’s frown, Dusty shrugged. “What? She did. And maybe somewhat shy as well. Come on, it’ll be good for you. Help take your mind off things.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
They were meeting with their lawyer in the morning to go over a way to stop the injunction. The damned judge, no doubt in the senator’s pocket, had signed off on the piece of paper that said the K Club had to close its doors. That had been four days ago. The world was closing in around him, and it was getting harder to breathe.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He had enough to deal with, and he didn’t need some author in here poking around, asking stupid questions, and generally treating the K Club as a sideshow she could laugh at. But he was already faltering in the wake of Dusty’s big blue puppy-dog eyes. The guy was like his younger brother and knew that look would get him his way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“How cute?” he asked.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Like super cute. And very hesitant. Like she wasn’t quite sure she wanted to visit us at all.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Fine,” he grumbled.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dusty’s blue eyes sparkled as he clapped his hands. “Great. She’ll be here in an hour.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“You shithead.” Of course Dusty had already invited her to come in for a personal tour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dusty stood and left Chase’s office without another word, closing the door behind him. A moment later, Chase caught sight of him back downstairs by the bar.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An hour later, Chase was still buried under paperwork, scouring the consent contracts, the original ordinance he’d received from the city when they first opened five years ago, and some more paperwork the lawyer had faxed over yesterday. A loud knock sounded from downstairs, but he didn’t get up. Dusty was still down on the main floor, and he’d been taking care of whoever came knocking for the past couple days. The man was a godsend. How had Chase ever gotten on before without Dusty to look after him?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He turned his attention back to his work. No doubt it was someone else coming to inquire about the club, when they’d be back open. Their members had been so lost when he’d announced the closing of the club, even though he’d assured everyone it would be temporary. And he was damned sure going to make good on that promise. He would not fail.</div>
<div>
He glanced through the window again when the bright light from the main door shone into his office.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shadowed in the doorway was a tall brunette. Hair pulled severely into a long ponytail, dark, elegantly slanted eyes bordered in charcoal, a tight black top with lace over breasts and arms, combined with the long, leather-clad legs told Chase this was a Domme. Her beautiful Asian face was not one he recognized. She must be new in town, or perhaps visiting and wanting to check out the scene before hours. He and Dusty would usually extend an invitation to a visiting Domme, but since the club was under lock and key, that wouldn’t be happening. Apparently the protesters and CLOSED signs outside meant nothing to her. And instead of sending her on her way, Dusty smiled, shook her hand, and ushered her in out of the stifling Nevada heat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What the hell?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chase half rose from his desk to peek through the tinted windows of his office into the club beyond. His groin gave a jolt as he caught sight of their visitor’s swaying hips in the skintight leather. That gave him another what the hell moment. It wasn’t like him to be attracted to other Dominants. Going three weeks with no outlet had started to take its toll.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dusty started leading the woman around the club, showing her the bar area, then the open dance floor and the bank of small seating areas along the one wall. Her face remained impassive, and Chase shook his head. That author was late for their meeting, and he couldn’t help but be glad he was now free to go and greet their visitor. He strode from his office and down the private back stairwell to meet them in the main area of the club.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“And this is where we have our shows,” Dusty was saying, leading her up on the stage.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chase stayed in the shadow of the staircase, watching. The delicate bone structure of this woman was showcased beautifully by her dark coal-rimmed eyes, deep red lipstick, and a light blush that appeared completely natural. Her gaze was hot, stubborn, and he could almost see a flicker of flame from within. It instantly ignited an answering burn inside him, and he gulped in a few cool breaths. What the fuck was his problem today?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She looked up, and their gazes locked. An image flashed through his head. Her, bound to the top of the canopied bed in his room, a white mask covering her eyes, head thrown back in ecstasy as he tortured her senses. He blinked reality back into focus, determined to shake this strange attraction. He knew from experience, some Tops could never bottom. And this woman obviously didn’t have a submissive bone in her entire lithe little body.</div>

I've been rather neglecting you all these past two weeks and for that I apologise. I was in Spain on a family holiday and the villa we were staying in didn't have an internet connection. I know, I was horrified too. There were tears before bedtime that first night, I tell you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If I wanted to send an email or check in with you all I had to pop down to the local bar where an hour of wifi came at the price of a vodka and tonic. Or two. And frankly after the first week, this new means of paying to be connected with the outside world began to feel like it might not be great for my health!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However, I am now back in bonnie Scotland where the grass is green (because it's tipping it down in August and there was frost last night) and that means that I have to wear jumpers and socks again AND it means that I can share the following information with you...</span><br />

I'm very excited to see <span style="color: yellow; font-weight: bold;">Spanish Heat </span>back on the market. Some of you may remember this as <span style="color: yellow;">Business or Pleasure </span>which was released by Silver Publishing back in April 2013. After the problems at Silver the rights were returned to me and my story found a new home with <a href="https://www.totallybound.com/spanish-heat" target="_blank">Totally Bound Publishing</a>. I'm loving the new cover and I'm so glad I can share this story with you all again. If you didn't get around to reading it the first time, you can find the blurb and an excerpt below. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Blurb</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Jack is looking for a new job and a fresh start, but he finds more than he expected waiting for him under the Spanish sun.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Jack Campbell is unceremoniously dumped in favour of his high school best friend, he decides he needs a fresh start. He sees an advertisement in The Times. Clark Thomas is looking for a house sitter for his villa in Marbella. In a slightly inebriated state, Jack applies seeing this as the perfect chance to get away from his troubles at home in Glasgow, but when he lands in Spain, he finds a lot more than a just job opportunity waiting for him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Clark has one weekend to show Jack the ropes before he leaves Spain and the memories of his own recent break-up behind for the next nine months. However, there’s just something about Jack. Instead of explaining the finer points of Jack’s contract, Clark finds himself introducing the young Glaswegian to some of his favourite Andalusian haunts, and he’s spending more time doing so than is necessary.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There must be something in the Spanish heat. All too soon Clark and Jack find themselves struggling to maintain the boundaries of their employer-employee relationship. Jack is behaving in ways he never has before, but knowing that what he’s doing is probably wrong doesn’t stop it from feeling right, and it might cause Jack a bigger problem when Monday morning comes around and it’s time for Clark to leave.</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Excerpt</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Clark swung himself to his feet and pulled his T-shirt over his head, dropping it onto the tiled floor. He faced Jack, who fought to keep his eyes from exploring Clark’s tanned, pleasantly hairy chest and abs. “Fancy joining me?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The denim shorts dropped, pulling Jack’s eyes back south to a pair of baggy, purple board shorts. Clark was in the pool before Jack had time to work out what he was talking about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Come on. I keep the water nice and cool. There are spare shorts behind the bar.” Clark shouted, gesturing to the well-stocked bar at the edge of the large, barbecue kitchen at the end of the pool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jack watched the water rippling as Clark moved expertly through the pool. Slowly he stripped off his shirt and went behind the bar where he fumbled with a pair of green Hawaiian shorts before sliding off his jeans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The high counter of the bar protected his modesty and he told himself the feeling of eyes on his skin was just paranoia. Suitably attired, he returned to the pool, tossed his clothes beside his beer and dropped into the water, grateful to be cool again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I’m sure you’ll really like it here, Jack. It’s a brilliant place.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jack nodded but kept his distance. Going swimming with his new employer half an hour after meeting him felt a little inappropriate, even by his newly lowered standards of behavior.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Have you been to Spain before?” Clark rolled onto his back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jack struggled not to stare at Clark’s toned, tanned chest. “Family holidays when I was much younger. I’ve never been to this part, though.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Do you know anyone in this part of the country?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jack shook his head. “I wasn’t really thinking about whether or not I would know anyone when I sent the email. Getting away from it all was sort of the point.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Clark fell silent, and Jack wondered if he had said too much. When Clark started to swim to the edge of the pool, Jack tried to work out what he could possibly have said. He watched Clark plant two strong arms on the side of the tiles and lift himself from the water, half a meter from the metal pool steps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Water rushed from Clark’s hair and shoulders making his muscles glisten in the sunshine. His shorts, wet and heavy, were pulled down as Clark propelled himself from the pool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jack caught a glimpse of a tan line and dimpled buttocks and tried to create a bland expression on his face as Clark turned to him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Do you fancy grabbing something to eat tonight, then? I could show you around a little—help you settle in. I don’t exactly have much planned for my last weekend.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“That sounds good,” he said a little warily. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Great! Be ready by seven?”</span><br />

Jacey, the floor is all yours!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’m so excited! My story The Encounter is now available!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Encounter is the first book in a series I’ve started called: The Agency. An ‘advertisement’ for The Agency goes something like this: “Seen a ghost? Have issues with a poltergeist? Experienced a close encounter? If you’ve come across something odd and don’t know what your next step is, call The Agency. We’re here to help you regarding your supernatural needs.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cool, right? (: I’m currently at work on the next few stories in this series, but for now check out The Encounter available from <a href="http://www.evernightpublishing.com/the-encounter-by-jacey-holbrand/" target="_blank">Evernight Publishing</a>.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Blurb</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>The Agency, 1</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Evan ‘Zen’ Zenas is the top agent at The Agency and is known for his brusque demeanor. He’s also known to be tough on trainees. Those who find themselves under his tutelage usually don’t last long. When he’s assigned a new assistant, Seth Trivos, Zen’s faced with questions about his past he’s not too keen on answering.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Seth Trivos knew Evan once upon a time, loved him even, but when Evan disappeared, he unknowingly broke Seth’s heart. Now, he’s in Evan’s world as the newest recruit at The Agency, and he’s looking for answers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Will Zen chase away another new assistant because he doesn’t want to open up about a past encounter or will being forced on a case together make him face the demons he’s been trying to hide from?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Be Warned: m/m sex</i></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Excerpt</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Zen threw his arms around him in a tight hold and claimed his mouth with wild abandon. Seth’s head reeled. He couldn’t believe he and Zen were kissing. Granted, it wasn’t anything like the soft moments and slow love making he’d imagined over the years, but he’d take what he could get at the moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Zen moved his hands up and down Seth’s back. The heated touch under his jacket and over his shirt seared his skin in a delightful way. Zen’s lips pressed upon his almost too violently. He swept his tongue out, forcing Seth to open his mouth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Seth adored the taste of him, salty and spicy, and his scent of leather and earth as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">God, for so long he’d waited to have Zen in his arms, his body close. Zen’s lips trailed down his neck. Seth reached up and cupped the back of Zen’s head. Zen pulled at his shirt, tugging it from the confines of his pants without breaking the kiss. In the process of kissing him, somehow Zen was able to unbutton and unzip both their pants and free their cocks out of the openings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Desire rushed through Seth, clawing at his insides. Zen clutched at him like a drowning man scrambling for purchase on any floating thing to save him from the watery depths. Hands traveled over his shoulders, up his shirt, feeling all the nuances of his chest and back down to his rock-hard cock. The man held their dicks against each other, and Seth sucked in a long stream of air. The feel of their two satiny lengths rubbing together was a heady sensation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Zen turned their bodies and laid them down. He stretched over Seth. Seth loved feeling the weight and heat of Zen’s strong body atop his. Still, Zen continued to kiss him, and he continued to surrender to the demand of Zen’s mouth.</span><br />

Hope you're all well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a little treat for you, today I have invited Nikka Michaels over to my blog to share her new story <b style="color: yellow;">Mile High Service </b>with us.<b style="color: yellow;"> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b style="color: yellow;">Mile High Service </b>is the prequel to <b style="color: yellow;">Room Service </b>(also published by Cobblestone Press) and is an M/M erotic romance (I know how much we all love those!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This story is part of Cobblestone's 'Blue Line' which is a short story line for erotica. Here's what the publisher has to say about this particular line. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>For us, erotica is about the fulfillment of a sexual fantasy. These stories are sexy, very graphic, and are by no means a “traditional romance”.</i></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sounds good to me! Take it away, Nikka!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Excerpt</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I turned to face the wall of ties, staring at our reflections in the small mirror in the middle of the display. I cursed the color that had risen in my cheeks from the stranger’s attention. When I licked my lips nervously, his gaze landed on my mouth, and he echoed my gesture. I took a deep breath, hoping for some kind of Zen state to keep from reacting to his proximity. There was nothing more awkward than an erection at an inopportune moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He moved close as he reached around my body, fingers deftly flipping up the stiff collar of my shirt. The heat from his body warmed my back, and the scent of spicy aftershave and clean male flooded my senses. My eyes blinked closed as my overactive and underused imagination paged through possible scenarios that could involve us in the same position, and my blood heated. What I wouldn’t give to have him buried inside me as I braced my hands against the wall. How long had it been since I’d had this feeling?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I opened my eyes and tried to steady my breathing as I heard him move behind me. He removed the tie from the box, unrolling it slowly, and carefully draped it around my neck. His arms closed around me again as he quickly and efficiently tied a Windsor knot. The stranger’s warm breath tickled the hair at the back of my neck as he moved, sending gooseflesh prickling over my skin. He tugged the tie’s knot sharply and adjusted the fabric so it dimpled and hung just right. As his thumbs brushed against the muscles of my chest through the fabric of my shirt, I pushed back a sound that threatened to escape my dry throat. The touch had to have been completely innocent, but it still made blood rush south.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He flipped the collar of my shirt down and adjusted the stays back in place, his movements practiced and precise. As the stranger straightened the tie one last time, color rose in my cheeks. This close to this attractive man, I wondered if he could feel how he affected me as he studied my face in the small mirror.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“See, it’s perfect. Calm. In control. Commanding. Simple. Authoritative. Sexy.” The last word was a low purr in my ear as I swallowed hard and closed my eyes. Who knew tie shopping was a form of foreplay? “It looks good on you.” He lowered his voice, his murmur seemingly meant for only my ears. “But it’d look better off of you.”</span><br />

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Blurb</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Kade Doherty gets dumped, he expects sympathy from his friends. Instead, he gets a bucket list. His friends want to help him enjoy life again, but Kade isn’t convinced a list of outlandish leisure pursuits will help much with that. To keep the peace he goes along with the plan and in the process, he meets Blake. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Blake’s Australian accent and surfer-boy looks are the stuff of sexual fantasies and Kade surprises everyone – including himself – when he wastes no time making a move. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kade goes with Blake into the Scottish highlands, but just as he is beginning to get used to life with his very own Mr. Australia, reality comes knocking. Kade’s newfound happiness falls apart when his abusive ex demands they meet. Blake senses something is wrong and he wants to help, but Kade knows he can’t confide in Blake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After all, Kade hasn’t exactly been honest. He might feel like a different man when he’s with Blake, but Kade knows he’s still just an accountant from Glasgow with slight obsessive compulsions and a bucket list that someone else wrote. He knows Blake won’t hang around, let alone help, when he finds out the truth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Or will he?</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div>
Kade looked up at the unfamiliar facade of the building in front of him. If he hadn’t just checked his location for the third time, using both the sat-nav on his phone and the one in his car, he would have sworn he must have taken a wrong turn when he reached the unfamiliar streets of Glasgow’s East End.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unlike the supermarket he normally frequented, this one had no branding or signage to speak of. There were no garish colors and definitely no cheesy logos. If it had an official name, the owners clearly didn’t think it was worth sharing with their customers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The building looked like a windowless warehouse, and the car park, devoid of neatly painted grid lines and pointless shrubbery, was just a gravel-covered, pothole-ridden piece of ground hemmed in by a giant metal fence. If it hadn’t been for the steady stream of people coming and going through the single-door entrance, Kade wouldn’t have known if the shop was open or closed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He sighed and leaned against the bonnet of his car. All he really wanted to do was get back behind the wheel and drive back to what was familiar. The temptation was almost overwhelming. It wasn’t like he hadn’t had enough changes and uncertainties to deal with recently without dragging the weekly shopping into the mix. He pulled out his phone and scrolled down until he found Ian’s number. Ian answered on the second ring.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I’m standing outside an Asian supermarket. Are you happy now?”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“That depends,” Ian said. “Are you actually going to go inside, or are you just planning on standing in the car park, biting your bottom lip and looking at your feet?”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kade looked up from his boots and removed the phone from his ear momentarily so he could stare at it instead. He heard Ian’s laughter through the handset.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Fuck you very much,” Kade said under his breath when he put the phone back to his ear.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“And you. I’ll see you tonight. You know, I’m impressed. Doing two things outside of your comfort zone in one day? Hell, the council must be pumping chemicals into the water again.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Yeah, yeah. Very funny.” Ian was still laughing when Kade rang off and slipped his phone back into his pocket.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ian’s jokes didn’t feel very funny to Kade at the moment, and his behavior had nothing to do with too much fluoride in the city’s water supply, as Ian well knew. Instead, it had everything to do with that stupid bloody list.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The bucket list. His bucket list. Only it wasn’t really his at all, because Kade hadn’t had any say in whether or not he wanted a bucket list, let alone what he wanted to put on it. Ian and his boyfriend, Paul, had drawn it up the morning after Kade had shown up on Ian’s doorstep, shouting and ranting and crying because Niall had left.</div>

<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Let’s start with the basics. Why write?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've written since childhood. It's a huge part of who and what I am. If I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. Writing comes as naturally as breathing to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>And why did you write this book? Why now?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I loved Evernight's premise for Planet Alpha. Sci fi is one of my favourite genres in which to write. The lure of warrior aliens was way too much for me to resist. However, this book was also first for me. Captive is my first ménage, an m/m/m, so I was pushing my own boundaries, too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">If I gave you permission to rewrite the first book you ever had published, would you?</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Good question. I have voices saying yes and no. I'm really not sure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Are you the same author now as you were when you started?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No. I feel a lot more mature as a writer. I understand a lot more about the whole process. I'm much more conscious about how I write, as well as what I write.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>It’s Friday night and I’m going to give you two hundred quid to spend getting up to whatever mischief you want. Which of your characters are you going to take with you and what are you going to do?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another difficult one. I'd want to take way too many. But I have a couple of new characters that readers will meet in the near future, Noah and Uther. I would take us out for a meal in a restaurant overlooking the ocean, where we could talk about food and wine while we enjoyed a nice meal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>And finally. In a world where you and your characters co-exist, who would be your best friend, and whose invitation to dinner keeps getting lost in the mail?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I love all my characters – villains not included. So in that sense, I'd never lose anyone's invite. In terms of best friend, probably Ull, one of my demons from a book entitled "Ange et Demon" that was published through Silver Publishing and which is currently awaiting a new publisher to take it on.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had a few questions for Avril and you can read her answers to those below. Keep reading for an excerpt from Avril's new release, 'So Far Gone'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Shall we get down to business?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">Let’s start with the basics. Why write?</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Because there are a lot of voices in my head and the easiest way to get them to shut their traps is to write their stories?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>And why did you write this book? Why now? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The story just popped into my head one day. A nugget of an idea, so I followed the trail, determined whether or not it made sense then I wrote it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Are you ever conscious of wanting to share a message through your work? If so, what is it? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don’t set out to make any kind of statement or share a message. I just write. If my readers do get a message that’s great, but it’s never been my intent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>If I gave you permission to rewrite the first book you ever had published, would you? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would, yep. My writing has matured so much, and I know myself and my style infinitely better than I did back then. A rewrite is definitely in order.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Are you the same author now as you were when you started?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not at all. With every book I put out, I learn something more about myself and about the industry.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>It’s Friday night and I’m going to give you two hundred quid to spend getting up to whatever mischief you want. Which of your characters are you going to take with you and what are you going to do? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’m taking Sasha Forde, from A Wicked Ride. She’s crazy so I’d put her in charge of our activities. Pretty sure at some point we’d end up in jail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>And finally. In a world where you and your characters co-exist, who would be your best friend, and whose invitation to dinner keeps getting lost in the mail? </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Syren Rua from A Sinner Born would be my BFF. I’m thinking Gabe from Love the Sinner’s invite would be lost. Mostly because he doesn’t want anyone looking at his man, and I’m gonna need to eye his man down proper.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One night? Feels like three years…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jacob Donnelly wants something new. Something different. Which is why he’s got a one-way ticket to New York and his bags packed. One last night out to the bar finds him in a sexy stranger’s bed, giving in to an explosive chemistry Jacob had been searching for, but never found. Until now. It’s too bad he’s leaving town, although once he finds out his one night stand’s true identity, Jacob can’t get away fast enough.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cash Warner made a mistake. It doesn’t matter that he’d never felt anything like the fire generated between him and Jacob. He doesn’t plan to ever see his one-night hookup ever again. Except he does. When the reality of what they’d done fully sets in, Jacob flees, leaving Cash struggling with how to deal with the bitter taste of betrayal he can’t escape. Because even with Jacob gone for years, Cash can’t stop wanting more of that one night. Fate conspires against them once again, bringing Jacob home after tragedy strikes, and they’ll find it near impossible to keep their distance despite being committed to other people.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Excerpt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Time fell away and he became lost in the sight of the man he watched. Something about this Cash perked his body right up, made his blood sing. Tonight of all nights. The feeling was bittersweet. He’d never had a reaction to another man quite like this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Hey there.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jacob jerked his head up and almost gasped. Cash sank into the chair opposite him, dark gaze intent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Uh…”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“You been looking at me.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That wasn’t a question. “I—” Jacob licked his lips.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“You.” The word mocked Jacob, but Cash’s gaze was searching.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Yes.” Jacob cleared his throat. “I’ve been watching you.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“You looking for something in particular?” Cash lifted a dark eyebrow and Jacob stared at him, trying to gather his thoughts. Cash didn’t break the gaze, he held Jacob tightly to him as surely as if they were locked in an embrace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Yes,” Jacob said slowly. “I was looking for something, but I…I think I may have found it.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cash blinked then, heat blazing in his eyes. He nodded once, but didn’t move otherwise. “I’m Cash.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Cash.” Jacob spoke his name for the first time testing it out. He liked it. “Jacob. I’m Jacob.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Jacob.” Cash smiled and Jacob shivered. “You should go to the men’s room, Jacob.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">His brain wasn’t working properly, wasn’t getting enough oxygen or something because for a second there, Jacob felt bewildered. Lost. He couldn’t process the words Cash spoke. He stared and Cash stared back, waiting…waiting…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Oh.” He jerked backward then jumped to his feet. Cash’s gaze dropped to Jacob’s crotch. He followed the gaze then cursed. “Shit.” He was hard. Clearly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cash’s lips quirked. “Bathroom?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jacob inhaled. “Yes.” One last gaze into Cash’s eyes and Jacob went. He walked to the bathroom on unsteady legs, palms sweaty, fists opening and closing as he tried to grasp and identify what it was he was feeling. He didn’t understand it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b style="color: yellow;">The Bucket List </b>started out life as a short story, inspired by a trip I took to an Asian in supermarket in Glasgow at the start of last summer. (My partner and I now shop there regularly.) I know a supermarket isn't a location that immediately springs to mind when thinking about possible settings for MM erotic romances, but I wanted to test myself and play around a little, to try to see what my characters would do and how they would move forward from an initial meeting over the fruit and veg.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed writing this story. It really did take me on a journey (hence it is now a 30K word novella and not a short story anymore) and I really hope it does the same to you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On August 5th, I will be able to share Kade and Blake's story with you all. For now, I can share the cover and the blurb, and tell you that you'll be able to grab your copy at <a href="http://www.loose-id.com/the-bucket-list.html" target="_blank">Loose-Id's website</a> and all other good ebook retailers.</span><br />

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Blurb</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Kade Doherty gets dumped, he expects sympathy from his friends. Instead, he gets a bucket list. His friends want to help him enjoy life again, but Kade isn’t convinced a list of outlandish leisure pursuits will help much with that. To keep the peace he goes along with the plan and in the process, he meets Blake. Blake’s Australian accent and surfer-boy looks are the stuff of sexual fantasies and Kade surprises everyone – including himself – when he wastes no time making a move.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kade goes with Blake into the Scottish highlands, but just as he is beginning to get used to life with his very own Mr. Australia, reality comes knocking. Kade’s newfound happiness falls apart when his abusive ex demands they meet. Blake senses something is wrong and he wants to help, but Kade knows he can’t confide in Blake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After all, Kade hasn’t exactly been honest. He might feel like a different man when he’s with Blake, but Kade knows he’s still just an accountant from Glasgow with slight obsessive compulsions and a bucket list that someone else wrote. He knows Blake won’t hang around, let alone help, when he finds out the truth.</span><br />

Spanish Heat is an M/M erotic short story that follows Jack, a young man who leaves his hometown of Glasgow and flies to Spain to take a job housesitting. The job was supposed to offer Jack a break from problems back home, but Jack is worried that he’s acted rashly, and the fact that things immediately stop going as planned isn’t helping much with his nerves. </div>

Spanish Heat is published by Totally Bound Publishing, but was previously released as Business or Pleasure by Silver Publishing. It has been revised and reedited for rerelease. </div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Nick is the most beautiful, successful, amazing man—just ask his executive assistant Tayte. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tayte’s been in love with his boss from the moment he set eyes on him. But two years working with him and Tayte isn’t even sure Nick is gay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it’s time for his contract evaluation and Nick wants to give Tayte more than just a raise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: yellow;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: yellow;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div>
It took Tayte ten minutes to walk to his car, then another fifteen to drive to Nick’s place and find a place to park.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When he stepped up to the intercom on the outside of the expensive apartment block his heart was pounding a hundred mile a minute.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He pressed the apartment number and waited, thrusting his hands into his suit pant pockets.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Come on up.” Nick’s voice came through the speaker and a loud buzzing ensued.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tayte grabbed at the door handle and pulled hard, not wanting to look ridiculous by asking Nick to do it again.</div>
<div>
He rode the lift up, his belly unsettled and excited. He shouldn’t be nervous. They’d already had sex. What else was going to happen?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He walked up to apartment twenty-seven. How many times had he thought about this moment? He’d made up a hundred excuses in his head, scenarios where he’d end up at Nick’s apartment at ten o’clock at night and they’d make out, or something. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He laughed as he knocked on the door and hung his head in shame. When did reality ever beat a fantasy?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Never.” He muttered beneath his breath just before the door swung open. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I’m just cooking a steak. You want one?”</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Nick was topless, in jeans, and holding a pair of tongs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I love you.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Did I just say that? Oh fuck!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nick just laughed and waved him in. “I’ll take that as a yes.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tayte wandered in, half transfixed by the sight of Nick’s gorgeous arse moving in his blue denim and the other half salivating over the smell of cooking steaks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He walked down a hallway and stepped into a massive open plan living space.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Wow,” Tayte said as he walked toward the floor to ceiling windows showing off a magnificent view of the city. “What a view.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Yeah, thanks. It was the main reason I bought this apartment. Some of the other ones were bigger, but the view sold me on this place.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tayte nodded and continued to stare. Wow. On a clear morning you’d be able to see all the way to the docklands.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Medium rare okay for you?” Nick asked and Tayte turned around to face his chef for the evening. His belly rumbled in response and he rubbed over the loud sound.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Yes please.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nick had set the glass table for two and set two plates down, each with a steak, a handful of green beans, and some garlic bread.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“You want anything else?” Nick asked as he unscrewed the top on a bottle of red wine and poured a couple of glasses. “Unless you want a beer instead?”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tayte shook his head and swallowed hard.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“No, that’s great.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They sat down opposite each other and picked up their wine glasses.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Cheers and welcome,” Nick said with a relaxed smile, inclining his glass toward Tayte’s.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Oh, yeah. Thanks.” Tayte moved his glass forward clumsily and the crystal clanged with a ricocheting racket.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Fuck. Sorry.” Tayte grabbed onto his wine goblet to still the noise and gulped down some of the peppery red. He was seriously stuffing this up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“No stress.” Nick smiled again before he too drank some of his wine. “Dig in.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tayte stared down at his eye fillet and picked up his utensils. How much more of a spazz could he be? He cut into his steak, red juices oozing from the center.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“It’s probably closer to rare, than medium,” Nick said as Tayte put a piece in his mouth and groaned as paradise exploded across his tongue.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Good?” Nick asked, expectation and pleasure already present in his blue eyes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Hmmm, mmmm,” Tayte responded, swallowing then continuing to devour the eye fillet that was cooked to perfection. “Wow.” He sighed when he’d finished, reaching for the accompanying carbohydrate and inhaling the fumes. He loved garlic bread, especially one slathered in butter.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“You got plans for the weekend?” Nick asked.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Please allow me to introduce you to <a href="http://www.jjlore.com/" target="_blank">J.J. Lore</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">J.J. is here to share with us a few details about her latest release, <b style="color: yellow;">Forbidden: Planet Alpha</b>, published by <a href="http://www.evernightpublishing.com/forbidden-by-j-j-lore/" target="_blank">Evernight Publishing</a> , but first, let's get you all introduced. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>J. J. Lore - A Short Biography</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">J. J. Lore needs three things; strong, black coffee, time to write, and…well…you can guess the third. When she isn’t inventing fantastical tales filled with passionate people, she’s shaking sriracha on whatever she’s eating or reading about the Justinian plague. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For updates on her erotic romance releases, visit her at <a href="http://www.jjlore.com/" target="_blank">http://www.jjlore.com/ </a>She’s also on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/J-J-Lore/1393971707546734" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <span style="color: orange;">Twitter</span> @JJLore1</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">now that we have the formalities out of the way I think all that's left for me to say is, J.J. please take the floor!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>'I Happen To Like Nice Men'</b></span></div>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ten points to anyone who recognizes that movie quote.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyone?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It’s Princess Leia trying to chide Han Solo in the Empire Strikes Back, and the first time I saw that scene I had an ah-ha moment in my pre-teen head. First, Han Solo was really cute and I wished I could hitch a ride on the Millennium Falcon, and the second was that I too, liked nice men. I’ve never been interested in the bad boy, the tough guy, or the man with something to prove. Nope, show me a guy who is decent, kind, and please-please-please, be in a good mood sometimes. That’s the guy I want to get to know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">All the heroes I’ve written have been nice guys at the core. They are strong, brave, and might occasionally have short tempers, but they never treat people with disrespect or disregard. There’s a simple reason for that beyond my own inclinations. When you write fiction, it requires immersion in your characters. They get in your head as you try to get into theirs, and I simply can’t have a mean person chattering away at my subconscious for the time it takes to write a book. There are too many mean people in real life; I don’t need to invite one to take up residence in my brain. If I don’t fall a little in love with my guys, how can I expect the reader to?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That sort of prerequisite might sound funny when you find out I write about a race of warrior aliens, males who love to fight and conquer and like nothing better than lopping an enemy’s head off. Not exactly nice guys on the surface. But I looked deeper and realized that to be a successful warrior, you need devotion to a just cause and to live by a code of honor, not just wield big muscles and bloodlust. So in the Planet Alpha books, my warriors are tough and rough, but they also stand up for their comrades and fall hard for their mates.</span><br />

<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Blurb</b></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Working to heal wounded Alphan warriors is the new duty of bondmates Leo and Deklan. Although recovered from severe injuries received on the field of battle, they are no longer fit to fight. Their orderly, all-male existence is turned upside down when an injured human female becomes their new responsibility.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Aura Tremain wakes up in an alien hospital, healing from a beating delivered by the scaly Xyrans who’d kidnapped her. Upon her discharge, two handsome Alphan men offer her refuge until she’s well enough to travel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Even though Leo and Deklan know they will never be permitted to bond with Aura as their souls demand, they can’t ignore the desire she stirs in them. Her time with them is short, but so intense. Will the intimacies they share be strong enough to withstand the expectation that bondmates are for battle-worthy warriors? Can their passion bind the three of them forever?</span><br />
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Excerpt</b></span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was strange to wake up in a bed with an alien male, no, two alien males, she amended. She glanced over to see Leo was still asleep, sprawled on his belly, his head cradled on his bent arm. Lots of thick muscles under gleaming skin on display. They both looked so strong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She turned her head back to Deklan and jumped with surprise to find him watching her with half-closed, sleepy eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Sleep well?” he whispered.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She nodded. Deklan’s eyes crinkled at the corners. He inhaled and stretched his arms over his head with a sigh, inadvertently dislodging the sheet even further down his body. He was wearing dark pants so there wasn’t much more she could see, not that she should be looking any further. She couldn’t quite take her eyes off him, though. As he lowered his arms, the one closest to her nudged along her shoulder and coasted down her arm, his large hand finally coming to rest next to hers. He edged closer and watched her for a moment. She could feel the heat of his body.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Do I look very different?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Different than what?” Aura whispered back, unwilling to disturb Leo when he’d been so kind to her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“A human male. I’ve never seen one in the flesh nor seen a human female until the ship landed.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“You look different. Bigger, stronger. Your skin is…” She trailed off, not quite sure how to put her newfound affinity for gold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Is what?” Deklan rubbed his hand along his chest, bumping over swells of muscle, disturbing the fine black hairs tapering down his abdomen. His voice was rough, and the timbre of it vibrated some previously unknown part of her ear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It’s beautiful.” Her honest assessment resulted in a disbelieving smile from the Alphan lounging next to her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It serves its purpose. I’d never call it beautiful, especially compared to yours.” Deklan glanced at her face, then her shoulders and arms exposed by the borrowed tank she’d worn to sleep. She knew she was blushing since her face was so hot. In an effort to compose herself, she looked over at Leo to find he was still deeply asleep, unmoving from when she’d last seen him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A large hand sliding along her arm brought her attention back to Deklan to find he’d edged closer and turned so he was curving against her now. Maybe he was just affectionate in the morning, maybe—</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The sudden press of a hard cock against her hip made her shiver. At least, she assumed the hard, warm shaft she could feel through her thin clothing was a cock. Deklan was alien, so perhaps his equipment was different. Although why he’d be aroused in proximity to her was a mystery. Perhaps he was similar to a man and this was just the usual morning reaction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Your skin is so smooth and soft,” he murmured as he ran his fingertips along her hip, then her belly, cloth bunching up under his fingers, exposing some skin at her waist. The slight parting of fabric made her shiver, made warmth spike into heat along her nerves. “Not frightened?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">“No,” she whispered, caught up in the intensity of his gaze, the sheer sensual pleasure of having someone touch her.</span><br />
