Hello my lovelies! Thank you so much for having me today!

I’m here this time to talk about my brand new release, Sparks of Blue (Dark Light 2)! I am beyond excited for this particular book and I just know you’re going to love it!

Sparks of Blue

Dark Light series

Erotic paranormal romance

Blurb:

Nearly a century ago warrior angel Kai and Nephilim Belle were lovers. Then he broke her heart and never looked back.

Now Second in Command of the angel armada, Kai knew he was the obvious choice for this long-term mission. And his job was clear: keep Belle and her patient alive. But he wasn’t prepared for the resurgence of old memories and long-ignored feelings. He’ll have to face what he did a hundred years ago if he wants a chance to be back in Belle’s arms…but even then, angels are forbidden from laying with Nephilim. If they were caught, Belle would be executed.

Born a Nephilim, Belle was neither angel nor human. But she was a healer, and she was damned good at it. Her reputation got her noticed by the armada and eventually earned her the title of Master Healer. It also earned her a terrible assignment: save the life – and therefore the soul – of a cursed human…under the protection of her ex-lover. And it turns out the chemistry they’d once shared may have been buried, but it’s a flame that could never burn out.

Excerpt:

She shoved the frustration of the never-ending struggle to prove herself from her mind as she checked out, doing her best to ignore the obvious flirtation attempt from the man at the desk. He could hardly meet her gaze long enough to smile. But she didn’t care, she just wanted to get out of there. As soon as she was done she moved out of sight, heading for a couple of trees that would make disappearing a little easier.

“You want me to smite him for you?”

Kai’s question startled her, as did the sound of his voice coming from behind her, and Belle jumped. “Kai, you scared the crap out of me!” she exclaimed as she turned to face him. His words hit her, then, and she couldn’t stop the tease. “Smite, really?”

“Seemed appropriate,” Kai said by way of explanation as he stepped into her personal space. Before she could catch her breath at his nearness he’d slipped her bag from her shoulders with one hand and caught her hip with the other. “Stop taking risks,” he added, the order roughened by a distantly familiar thickness to his voice that sent shivers of anticipation down her spine. Before she could process what he was doing he’d tugged her up against his chest and caught her lips in a hard kiss.

Belle moaned as he plunged his tongue into her mouth, demanding and teasing at the same time. He kissed her like a man starved, winding both arms around her as she kissed him back. Her skin burned beneath his heavy, heated touch and she threaded her fingers through his hair. It was thick and soft, exactly the way she remembered. He rolled his tongue over hers, stroking and sliding, reminding her body of exactly what he was capable of. Heat pooled low in her belly and she leaned into him instinctively.

For a long, blissful moment it was as if nothing had ever changed between them. The past ninety-plus years never happened. They were just two people with a powerful attraction to each other. They’d never broken up. He hadn’t ripped her heart out and torn it to shreds with his cruel words.

Except that he had. And that reminder was enough to dampen the flame he’d reignited in her blood. No matter how mindlessly good a kisser he was, no man was worth that. She had more self-respect than to throw herself at someone who could think so little of her.

Belle pushed back, taking a full step away from him as she fought to catch her breath. Her body rallied against her, remembering all too well the pleasure he could bring, but she held strong. She just hoped he couldn’t see the tears stinging her eyes.

BLOWN by Rose Wulf @RoseWulfAuthor @evernightpub

June 28, 2016.Reading time 8 minutes.

Hello! Thank you for having me!

Today I’m here to talk about my brand-new release, Blown (Elemental 2)!

Blown
Elemental Series, book 2
Paranormal romance
M/F

Blurb:

With enemies that can pull lightning from the sky, it’s probably a bad time to fall in love.

Air elemental Nate Hawke had it bad for his new renter, Madison Price. He should have been staying away, but then it was too late – her place of work was up in flames. So he planted himself at her side, vowing to stand between his enemies and the woman he was falling in love with, come what may.

Madison knew better than to have a thing for her sexy new landlord. She just couldn’t help herself. After her work burned to the ground, leaving her with the battle scars to prove it, she didn’t have much better to do than think about Nate Hawke. She just never imagined what he and his brothers were capable of – or what it might mean if she were to lose him.

Excerpt:

“This was an amazing idea, Nate. Thank you.” It was the truth. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d enjoyed herself as much.

Nate smiled, reaching over and brushing his fingertips lightly along the base of her throat as he leaned down and murmured, “You’re welcome.”

A shiver entirely unrelated to the breeze raced down her spine and Madison swallowed heavily. Her skin tingled beneath his feather-light touch as his warm breath fanned over her ear, and she doubted any woman would begrudge her such reflexes. She leaned back, into his touch, and shifted so that she could reach over and loosely grasp the collar of his shirt as she tugged him closer. He leaned in willingly, and this time when their lips met there was no hesitation. After a lingering moment, his tongue slipped out and trailed along her lower lip before sweeping into her mouth.

Her hand released his collar, sliding up his toned chest and curving around his shoulders until she could tangle it in his loose, dark hair. His hand tightened slightly over the nape of her neck, his fingers massaging the skin, as his other hand landed on her hip and hauled her up against his chest. His tongue slid along hers, more interested in the sensual dance than the exploration that awaited him, and Madison’s other hand lifted to curl into the side of his shirt. She hadn’t expected his kiss to awaken her senses quite so thoroughly, but she couldn’t deny that it had.

He rolled his tongue over hers one more time, letting the motion linger, before pulling away.

Madison dragged in a deep breath, her own hold on him relaxing, and she slowly offered him a small, appreciative smile.

He swallowed as he pulled his hands from her and asked, “So … ready to keep going?”

She nodded, taking a moment to find her own voice. “Can I borrow your phone? I want to take one more picture before we move on.” She also needed to catch her breath. She wanted to enjoy the environment as much as the man sharing it with her and, at the moment, her instincts were to focus mostly on enjoying him.

His lips twitched and he tugged the camera out of his pocket. “Sure.” He handed it over before adding, “I’ll just clean up while you’re doing that.”

“Okay,” she said, smiling again as she pushed to her feet.

Madison moved closer to the edge of the cliff, wanting a picture of the clearing from the other side, and secretly glad that she would get at least one shot with Nate in it. And maybe she’d take a shot of the rocky shore that was surely far beneath them, too. But before she did either, she decided, she was going to shed her jacket. She had cooled down for the moment, but she knew that what was left of the hike would keep her temperature high enough without the fabric. So she dropped the phone in her jeans pocket and shrugged out of the coat as her gaze glided across the surface of the water before her.

She was too distracted to register the shifting of the ground beneath her feet at first, and when she shifted her weight to tug her arm free of the remaining sleeve, it was too late. The ground beneath her seemed to give, sinking slightly, before cracking and crumbling away entirely. The surface of the cliff arched out over open air, and there simply wasn’t enough to support her weight.

For a moment, Madison’s eyes widened and her heart stopped as she felt herself begin to fall. And then an instinctive cry tore from her lips as she attempted to spin around and throw herself backwards. She succeeded only in losing what was left of her footing and finding herself in free fall.

Bearly Theirs

Series: The Bears of Greenspoint, 1

Book Blurb:

Keiko Saito is having the worst day of her life — but it also happens to be the best. The same day she learns of her brother’s death and her need to return to Japan, she discovers that the feelings she has harbored for two men for almost two years are returned.

Logan and Cooper Anderson have known that Keiko was their mate from the first moment they met. They hired her for their business and planned to steal her heart at the same time. Their idea to take it slow is shot to hell when she learns of her brother’s death. They are together for one night, one perfect night when they allow their feelings for each other to dictate their actions. When they awake the next morning, their mate is gone.

Can Cooper and Logan find their mate in time to save her from the future she fears, or will they lose her before she can ever truly be theirs?

STORY EXCERPT:

“You bellowed?” Keiko inquired dryly. Both men’s facial expressions changed in the same instant. Logan’s face slipped into its usual scowl and Cooper grinned at her. Both men started to talk at once, asking questions until Keiko lifted her hand and whistled loud and shrill. This was a skill she had perfected since coming to work at ACE and it came in handy when both men required her help. “As developed as my ability to multi-task is, and to be fair it is definitely higher than most and that is why you headhunted me for this job in the first place and pay me what you do, I have yet to master the ability to conduct two conversations at the same time.”

“Sorry, Kei,” Cooper said with a grin that told her he was anything but.

She shook her head and cast a slight look to the heavens for patience. “Now, Logan the Jenkins file still holds the status of pending, so it will be on the shared drive.” She held her hand up to stop him when it looked like he was about to interrupt. “Until that contract has been verified and the retainer has cleared, it will stay pending. Look in the commercial builds folder on that drive and there is a folder titled Jenkins.” Logan clicked his mouse a couple of times and then gave her the quick thumbs-up that he had what he needed.

“Cooper, there is nothing wrong with the spreadsheet I sent you. Have you changed anything in the master data and not transposed the same formula?”

Cooper got a sheepish look on his face as he tapped away on his keyboard for a moment. When he looked up from his screen, his grin was firmly in place again. “Yep, that is exactly what I did. Again. Sorry, Kei. What would we do without you?” He was the only person in the world that shortened her name, and she secretly loved it.

She nodded her head in response, then turned to look between the two men. “Will there be anything else tonight, gentlemen?”

“No, thanks, Keiko,” Logan said with a small smile and her heart stuttered at the intense look he suddenly got in his eyes. For some reason, it made her think of the way a predator would observe its prey. His look said he wanted to devour her, and she was only too willing to be devoured. She swallowed audibly and felt a gush of heat between her legs.

Giving them a wide, and hopefully not too fake a smile, Keiko nodded. “Great! Then have a good night and I will see you both in the morning.” Spinning on her three-inch heel, Keiko strode from the office pausing only long enough to grab her jacket and purse, then left. She took the elevator down from the top floor, buzzing her way out the door and into the muggy air of a Texas spring evening.

She told herself as she walked the three blocks to her bus stop that there was no way that Logan or Cooper could tell that she had basically drenched her own panties in front of them. She would simply lie down and die of mortification if they ever knew how easily they turned her on. By the time she had reached the bus stop, and her phone started ringing, she had convinced herself that her secret was safe and that they had no clue.

* * * *

“Jesus Christ,” Logan groaned as their office manager scampered from their office and out to the elevators so fast she basically left skid marks on the carpet. “Did you smell that?” Logan turned to his brother and from the mask of barely controlled need etched on his face, it was clear that Cooper had caught it as well.

Cooper closed his eyes and inhaled deeply again. “You’re damn fucking skippy I smelled that. Keiko saw something in the look you gave her that she definitely liked. Her breathing rate increased, I could see the pulse at the base of her neck start beating wildly, and the sweet, sweet musk of her arousal fucking filled this office.” Eyes opening, he turned to look at Logan, and Logan could see his eyes flickering green to black, which spoke of how close he was to losing control to his bear. “Our mate is needy and not going to her and fulfilling that need is fucking killing my bear.”

Logan nodded. He understood exactly what Cooper was saying. Hell, his own bear was pacing impatiently within him, roaring his desire to chase their mate and claim her as theirs, but they had to show some restraint and control. There were issues they had to sort through before they claimed their mate, not least of which was explaining the fact to her that they had the ability to shift into half-ton bears with nothing more than a thought, and were members of the Greenspoint bear sloth. That tended to be one hell of a precursor to telling someone she was destined to be the love of their lives

ADULT EXCERPT:

“The first day you stepped into our office, you wore this pale blue blouse with mother-of-pearl buttons.” As he spoke, Cooper reached out and gently began to slide the buttons of the white silk blouse she wore now through the buttonholes. “I wanted nothing more than to remove that shirt, button by button and expose the beautiful expanse of skin I knew hid beneath it.” He matched his words with his actions, gently opening the blouse, pulling it gently from the waistband of the skirt she wore.

The breath caught in Cooper’s throat at the sight of the white demi bra that she wore that pushed her breasts up, plumping them slightly at the top. “Holy…shit.”

Unable to resist, Logan leaned in and looked over her shoulder, getting the full effect of the fantastic things this particular bra did for her breasts. “Sweet mother of God,” Logan murmured as he reached up to slip the blouse from her shoulders. “If I knew you had a penchant for wearing sexy as all fuck underwear like this under those suits of yours, we would have been here a hell of a lot sooner.”

Cooper took a deep breath to try to curb the desire building within him at an astonishing rate. “You were wearing a dark blue pencil skirt with that blouse, and I loved the way it clung to every sweet curve.” Cooper dropped to his knees in front of her, and the sweet scent of her arousal filled the air. The waistband of her skirt loosened and Cooper knew that Logan had released the button and zip at the back. “Now, normally, I’m the kind of guy that rips the wrapping paper off my presents and prefers to dive straight into dessert. But in this case, I’m willing to wait a few seconds more than I want to, because I have the feeling that bra you’re wearing might be part of a set, designed to drive a man insane.”

Gently, he gripped the edge of her skirt and slid it over the luscious curve of her hips, and then let it drop to the floor, leaving her standing in just her underwear, and Cooper growled at the barely there panties their woman was wearing. He looked up at the goddess who stood before him and nearly swallowed his tongue.

Gently he ran his hands up the backs of her legs. He groaned when he got to the naked globes of her ass. “You wear G-strings? Logan’s right, if we knew about these we would have been here a hell of a lot faster.” Unable to wait another minute, he gently stripped the small scrap of lace from her beautifully bare pussy and then tugged her hips toward him. “Lean back, love. Rest your shoulders on Logan’s chest.” He watched as she complied, noticing that Logan had stripped the bra from her, and removed his own shirt. His hands cupped her breasts, his thumbs strumming her dark nipples, and a rosy red shade of arousal had swept across Keiko’s chest and up her neck.

“I’m gonna taste you now, love.” Cooper gently lifted her left leg to place it on his shoulder, trusting his brother to hold her strong all the while looking up into her lust-glazed eyes and grinned. “Feel free to scream for me.” Then he placed his mouth right over her very wet pussy, listening to her sweet cry of shocked pleasure, and swept his tongue through the hot liquid that had pooled there, pulling it into his mouth. Her flavor was sweet and salty and so fucking addictive he knew she was going to quickly become his favorite meal. Then he settled in to drive her crazy. He took the sounds she made as verbal clues, telling him what she liked and how she liked to be pleasured.

When he swept the flat of his tongue up and over her swollen clit, she thrust her hips forward with a cry. When he gently slid his finger up inside her hot, tight pussy, she shuddered and gripped his hair, which he liked a lot, but it was when he combined the two together that had her screaming his name as she shattered against his tongue. Growling softly, he lapped up every drop of cream her body rewarded him with, loving her through the first orgasm of many he was determined to give her tonight.

As he pulled back he felt the last sliver of his heart, the part he held back in case all their plans went to hell, slide away and join the rest, completely and utterly with her.

Five questions for the author:

Q: Every book is special to an author. What is it about this book that makes it special for you?

A: Every book is special, and I love all that I have written and the ones I have yet to write! But this one is special because it brings in a little Japanese element that means a lot to me. I lived in Japan for three years and it is a language and culture that is near and dear to me.

Q: Sometimes things happen when you are writing a series that wasn’t expected at all. Have you had this happen to you?

A: Heaps! I am not a planner. I am a write-by-the-set-of-your-panties kinda girl. There have been moments where I will finish up a scene and be like WTF? I did not see that coming!

Q: Is that why you always include a danger element to your books?

A: I write what I love to read. I love books that take you on a journey, but where the characters face a challenge that adds an element of urgency to them and to the book. As a reader, there is nothing I like more than getting that goose bump, hair rising on the back of my neck feeling as I join the characters within the book I am reading on the journey to solve their mystery. I want to give that to my readers.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I have quite a few WIPS on the go at any one time. Right now I am working on book 9 in my Grey River series, book three in my Sniper Team Bravo series, a collaboration work I have on the go with Sarah Marsh and Elena Kincaid and a couple of stand alones that had caught my muse’s interest.

Q: Do you have anything to say to your current readers or to those that haven’t yet read you work?

A: If you have read any of my books, thank you so very much! It blows my mind that someone has actually read something that I wrote, but gosh I hope you enjoyed it! Did you? Please let me know, I find I suffer from a slight case of needy-nelly with my writing. If you haven’t read my book, but you love erotic romance stories between strong men and an independent woman, where the path to their happily ever after can be a bumpy one, but there is always a happily ever after, and their love and laugher is real on every page, then you’ll find my books right up your alley!

Author bio:

Maia Dylan lives, loves and works in beautiful New Zealand. She married her best friend and they have two adorable, but stubborn children who obviously take after their father.

Maia’s career has featured a lot of travel, and she has filled her time at airports and in the air with books, books and more books. Her love of erotic paranormal romance has seen her amass a huge library. She has been an avid reader and lover of ménage romances since she read her first book in this genre about three years ago.

In January of 2015, Maia submitted her first ever manuscript to Siren Publishing. She wasn’t at all confident that it would be accepted and in fact she was expecting a nicely worded email with a resounding no! Much to her surprise less than two weeks later she had an acceptance and a signed contract in hand. Since then she has also been published by Evernight Publishing and is loving every minute of it.

Outside of writing, Maia loves to eat, so she loves to cook! Her herb garden is legendary, but she still has issues getting tomatoes to grow. She’s been a performer for years, and has even sung on international stages, she would love to own a classic Ford Mustang one day and of course have the opportunity to race it on a race track without fear of a speeding ticket.

Although ultimately her dream is to be able to write full time on a sandy beach with a Mai Tai at hand, she is quite happy to fit her writing in when she can. As long as someone reads her books, gets a laugh and maybe come to love her characters and much as she does, then she feels that she is living her dreams no matter what!

CHASING FAETE, Beyond the Veil Book 1

May 27, 2016.Reading time 17 minutes.

Chasing Faete: Beyond the Veil Book 1

Chasing Faete started out as a fun exercise in our Sinfully More Erotic Street Team group and turned into an entire series. So far, we have 5 books planned in the series, but I wouldn’t be surprised if more sprout up along the way. All three of us fell in love with this mysterious world Beyond The Veil as well as our very overprotective Shifters on this side of the Veil.

You know what they say … you can’t run away from your fate. But what if your fate tries to run away from you? If you’re a wolf … you chase fate instead.

Cover Design by Jay Aheer

Release Date: May 27, 2016

BLURB

Erica’s been on the run from her parents’ murderer for years, but her luck at evading capture has finally run out. She finds herself trapped by the man who tortured her for years, but she’s prepared to fight him rather than go back to the Fae King. She almost thinks she’s hallucinating when two wolf shifters appear out of nowhere to save her … but that could be the blood loss talking.

Leo and Ben were thrilled to stumble onto the scent of their mate as they were on a routine patrol. They follow their noses and barely find her in time, wounded and battling with a group of armed Fae. Life is about to get a whole lot more complicated when it comes to mating their little pixie.

Erica can’t deny the bond she feels with her wolves, but will the need to avenge her family and the fate of the Fae realm cost her the loves she’s waited so long to find?

EXCERPT

“Why don’t I draw you a nice hot bath to help you relax?” Ben suggested to Erica as soon as Leo left to seek out Gabe. The Alpha was gracious enough to give up his room, a large master bedroom with a king-sized bed and an en-suite bathroom. Both the bathtub and the shower were large enough to fit at least three people comfortably. Perhaps Gabe prepared for his own hopeful future, he thought.

“Only if you join me,” Erica pleaded. There was no trace of seductive humor in her voice. “I don’t want to be alone right now.”

“Come here, love.” He beckoned, holding out his hand for her to take. When she reached him, he enfolded her in his arms and whispered in her ear, “You don’t have to be alone ever again. We’ve got you.”

When he released her, he gently led her by the hand into the bathroom. He sat on the edge of the tub and started the water. Once the temperature was to his liking, he stood up, firmly cupped Erica’s cheeks, and kissed her slowly, deeply. Then he let his hands trail gently down her sides until they reached the hem of her shirt. Only then did he break apart from their kiss, just long enough to lift her shirt over her head. He deftly removed her bra, unzipping her jeans as well as his own before he needed to release her lips once again. If he got to love her for a thousand lifetimes, he’d still never tire of the taste of her sweet berry-flavored lips.

Ben steadily held her gaze as he dropped to his knees in front of her to remove her shoes and socks and then finally her jeans and underwear. He could not resist inhaling the sweet and tangy scent of her arousal. He spread her pussy lips with his thumbs and flicked his tongue over her clit. One of Erica’s hands grabbed onto his shoulder for balance, while the other fisted in his hair. She panted heavily as he continued to tease her little bundle of nerves.

As much as he relished in the taste of her, this was not the time to tease. He needed her, to feel himself inside of her while shutting all the danger looming over them out.

He stood abruptly, lifted Erica to straddle his waist, and stepped into the tub. As soon as he sat down, she took him inside of her, both of them moaning loudly at the contact. His love was just as desperate for him as he was for her. Their lips and tongues collided once again as she rode him hard. The sounds of the faucet still running and water sloshing to their fast paced rhythm intermingled with their loud moans and heavy breathing.

Ben fit so easily with her. Fulfillment and aching all wrapped up in one neat little exhilarating package. He’d be damned if he would be denied a lifetime of this. Fuck that! His wolf echoed. Ours forever!

He grabbed her hips and pushed up hard and fast as Erica pushed down with equal fervor. They broke their kiss again to stare sat each other, but not for long. Erica’s eyes rolled back, forcing her to close them. He felt her walls tighten even further, squeezing, urging him to come with her. When she threw her head back, he buried his face in the crook of her neck and wrapped his arms tightly around her.

Ignoring the sound of the door quietly opening and closing—he knew his brother was now their audience—Ben let go in sync with Erica. His loud groan would surely have been heard throughout the house had it not been muffled by Erica’s neck. His sexy pixie, however, was not so quiet. The echo of her desperate cries must have resonated at least down the hallway. Perhaps everyone was still downstairs, but either way, he couldn’t bring himself to care after what the two of them just shared.

He held her tightly for a few moments more, knowing that she needed Leo, too. It was Ben’s turn now to relax and just admire the view.

****

Leo stepped into the bathroom and closed the door, not able to take his eyes from the beauty before him. His mate had her head thrown back, an expression of sheer rapture on her face as she found her pleasure, and the sounds of her passion were the sweetest music to his ears.

He stepped up to the bath and turned off the running water before there was even more of it on the floor. He understood very well how his brother hadn’t noticed the mess.

“Oh crap, the water,” Ben said once he’d noticed the sloshing sound of Leo’s steps.

“Yes, brother, seems you were seduced by a mermaid. I can see how you’d lose track of the rest of the world.” Leo smiled down at Erica as he cupped her cheek with his hand and leaned in for a gentle kiss. “How are you feeling, love?”

“Better now that you’re here as well.” Erica kissed him back with a heat that had him growling low in the back of his throat.

“Stand up, little one,” Leo ordered as he took a step back and watched the water slip off of her perfect, creamy curves.

He held out his hand to her, and when she accepted it, he helped her step out of the tub and onto the warm tile.

“Oh, you’re in for it now, pixie. I’ve seen that look before.” Ben laughed as he sat back in the tub with a sigh.

Leo tried not to smile when their mate’s eyes opened a little wider in concern, but he wanted to keep her off balance for this. They’d both enjoy it more.

“Now, undress me.”

ABOUT SARAH MARSH

Sarah Marsh was born in British Columbia where she still lives. She has only recently began her writing career, finding it the perfect outlet for taking the edge off a nine to five office job. She’s been a science fiction and romance junkie for years and when her imagination started to take the characters she’d read about even further in their adventures, she decided to try writing something of her own.

Sarah’s also a former pastry chef and spends a lot of time cooking and baking for friends and family as well as painting and knitting. Her biggest weaknesses are animals of any kind … she even loves the ones that wake you up at four in the morning because they can almost see the bottom of their food dish.

When it comes to life in general, she’s a big believer that laughter is the best medicine and that there’s no such thing as too much love, which is why she’s such a sucker for a happy ending.

Alpha Blood Treat (Pack Warriors #2) FREE READ

By Elena Kincaid

BLURB:

It had been years since the pack wars. Some are still dealing with the fallout, but all have scars that have never fully healed. Despite all of this, Gemma, Jordan, and Kane have managed to build a happy life for themselves and their twin boys.

Their holidays may be bittersweet, but their love and passion for each other are even fierier than ever. Will pack skirmishes, wayward security business clients, and rowdy little boys get in the way of a night full of promise, or will Jordan and Kane manage to fulfill Gemma’s every desire?

ADULT EXCERPT:

“I finally got the boys to—” Kane stopped dead in his tracks in the doorway to his bedroom, his words completely failing him due to the sight that greeted him.

Gemma was sprawled out in the center of their king-sized bed, wearing nothing but the wolf ears headband she wore earlier as part of her Halloween costume, her lips quirking into a sly little smile at the sight of him. A goddess, she was bare before him in a lazily relaxed pose. Her left leg was straight, her right, bent at the knee and spread open, revealing her glistening, pink pussy. Both arms were loosely stretched above her head in a pose that conveyed, come and get me and do to me what you will. Kane would happily oblige as soon as he was able to get his frozen self to move.

He couldn’t help but marvel at her beauty for a moment more. She had him tied up in knots all evening with her sexy, little wolf outfit, the hilarity of her costume choice notwithstanding. The beige, faux-fur trimmed dress hugged her every curve, flaring out at mid thigh, and revealing just enough cleavage to be sexy, yet classy. That didn’t stop other males from ogling Gemma, something that one angry, possessive look from either Jordan or Kane had them regretting. Completing her ensemble was a tail, faux-fur boots that went almost up to her knee, and the headband she was currently wearing. Damn, he and Jordan were two of the luckiest sons of bitches.

Sons of bitches who adamantly refused … for as long as they could … to wear any sort of costume. Kane had learned pretty quickly that he could not refuse Gemma anything that would make her and their three-year-old boys happy, especially if not giving in would make them unhappy. So he and Jordan begrudgingly donned last minute, makeshift costumes, which Kane had to also begrudgingly admit, looked pretty bad ass!

He had applied some of Gemma’s makeup to make himself look like Eric Draven from The Crow—the black eye-liner and dark shadow only, since Gemma did not own any white face paint. The black leather pants, skin-tight, black, long-sleeved shirt, and black boots were already part of his wardrobe. He went sans the long, black coat because Jordan needed it for his costume. In addition to Kane’s coat, Jordan wore black slacks, a ribbed, black undershirt and black boots with buckles on them. When he put on his dark aviators, his Neo from The Matrix look was complete.

Gemma squealed with glee when they had surprised her with their costumes. Both characters were from two of her favorite movies. “You both look way hotter, though,” she had said. And from the scent of her arousal, Kane had no doubt she meant it.

“I think you boys deserve a treat later,” Gemma said with a devilish wink. She then sauntered off into the family room adding just a little extra sway to her hips.

ALPHA BLOOD (Pack Warriors #1)

Blurb:

Gemma, a she-wolf, alone and in unbearable pain, cries vengeance against the evil man who caused her suffering. Jordan, alpha of the White-Moon pack, the largest in the country, has a war to prepare for. Kane, his brother and beta, struggles to be worthy of the role thrust upon him.

When young girls start to disappear and rumors of a dangerous serum surface, the two men are brought face to face with their destiny. A fiery passion blooms between Gemma and her men, one that heals her body and soul, but a dangerous war still lies ahead. Will they be successful at stopping an evil tyrant before another girl goes missing or will Gemma pay the ultimate price? With her life!

Speaking of our amazing group, they recently interviewed some of our charachters:

MAIA DYLAN

Roxana Dykes-Planck What’s your favorite sexual position and where do you like to do it?

ANSWER FROM FAITH – Oooo Roxana, I ask this question all the time at the Country Blue! It’s a great conversation starter on Margarita nights. When it comes to my guys, I’ll take any damn position they have in mind, because well, honestly, they are hotness on walking hot legs. And in terms of where? I’ll take any flat surface available!

Sarah Marsh I’ve got one for Maia’s Fiona from her Freedom Springs series: Fiona, what is the best part of having both Cole AND Travis all to yourself? And is there ever any times when having to deal with 2 mates is almost too much?

ANSWER FROM FIONA – Hi Sarah! I have to be honest with you it’s still pretty damn shocking to me that I ended up with not one, but two of the Winters brothers! But to answer your question, the best thing about having them both to myself, well, apart from the obvious physical benefits, it’s knowing that they love me for who I am, and will always have my back no matter what. Hell, they even gave of their own life’s energy to save me! And pretty much every time they growl mine when they stare at me or look at me like I hung the sun, the moon and the stars, I have to control myself so that I don’t keep setting things alight!

Avril Shafer Stepowski Any Female Character! Does being with an alpha male really frustrate you at times?

ANSWER FROM ROWENA – Hello Avril, this is a great question and I feel that this is definitely the question for me to answer. Frustration is an emotion that occurs in situations where a person is blocked from reaching a desired outcome. We feel pleased and satisfied whenever we achieve that desired outcome but frustration rears its head when we are prevented from reaching our goals We may feel irritable, annoyed and angry. Typically –

FAITH – Damn it Rowena! What in the hell have we agreed? No more psychologicalistic-mumbo-gumbo shit when people ask you a simple damn question.

ROWENA – But, perhaps-

FAITH – No! Bad Doctor. Speak English or I’ll tell Wyatt you’ve been checking out Jase and Rhys Wilson while they’ve been working in the garage bent over car engines.

ROWENA – What! You’re the one that said you could bounce a nickle of their ass,

FAITH – Yes, but I’ve just given my men two sons. I have a get out of spanking free card for the next five years at least.

ROWENA – Damn it! Fine! Yes it can be frustrating but the rewards definitely make up for it.

Debra Blantz-Trimble Do you like menage? If so, MMF or FFM?

ANSWER FROM XANTHE – Hi Debra, thanks for the question. Faith and Rowena are still arguing and the girls from Freedom Springs are laughing uncontrollably so I’m going to take this one. I always knew I was destined for a menage relationship, but it wasn’t until I met Hunter and Dane that realized that I would form the third in a unique aspect of menage. My men love and love on each other every damn chance they get, and on Tuesday’s we have a standing appointment where I get to pull over the winged back chair in our bedroom and watch, sometimes directing the action! There is nothing hotter than watching my guys make love to each other. Damn, gets me going even talking about it.

Kassandra Dumas To any female character, what finally makes you give in to your Alpha, what draws you?

ANSWER FROM ARIANA – Hi Kassandra! I knew that Ryan and I were fated mates from the moment I heard his voice on a phone call almost six months before we actually met face to face. But there was an issue holding me back.

CASEY – Yeah, she was being all self sacrificy and thought her death would solve the prophecy.

ARIANA – Thank you Casey, but I believe Kassandra was talking to me.

CASEY – True, but she needs the total picture not just your abbreviated version.

ARIANA – Kassandra, do you have a younger sister? If you do, then you understand. If you don’t, would you like Casey? She’s house broken.

CASEY – Oh, shut up, and just answer the question.

ARIANA – as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. It was actually my annoying, loving, totally straight talking little sister who made me realize that I wasn’t so much as saving him from being hurt by not mating with him as I was simply saving myself. Which was selfish. Once I got over myself, I all but ran to Ryan. I am drawn to his strength, his loyalty, his-

CASEY – Body.

ARIANA – Casey! Well, not that she’s wrong. But also his protective nature. He’s a Sheriff for a reason

CASEY – And he has handcuffs. Ow!

Avril Shafer Stepowski Like, how does it feel to have all your hotspots getting attention all at once?

ANSWER FROM ALL – Hi Avril, Maia here. This question struck a match under all the ladies in the room. It would be difficult to capture all of their comments, so I am simply going to give you a few highlights – Amazing, no fucking amazing… like nothing I have ever experienced… I could rewrite the Karma Sutra… my man is all I can handle, anything else and I might actually die… out of this world… freaking amazing…

Heidi Rundle Fun one now so all your characters are strong but would they switch places for a day with their men? See what its like to have sex as a man feel all different kinds of emotions, or is being a woman hard enough–who wants to feel what men do?

ANSWER FROM ANGEL – Me! Oh me! I am so going to answer that question. The one and only time in my life that wished I could swap places with my men was when I was in labor, pushing out my Mateo on the grass in Rowena’s back yard with no freaking pain relief! Would have quite easily have traded places in that instance.

FAITH – Ouch! Big props sister! Next kid I have, I’m starting the pain relief from conception just to be on the safe side.

Elena Kincaid Maia, if Fiona could play a trick on any of the gang using her fire power, what would it be?

ANSWER FROM FIONA – Oh that’s easy. Cole. I love that man with everything in me, but sometimes he is such a smartass! I’ve sent a little flame dancing across the top of his inner thigh a couple of times when he’s being mean.

NEVE – What? When the hell is he being mean when you have access to his inner – wait don’t answer that!

FIONA – What? He has this nasty habit of withholding things if you know what I mean. Totally deserved as far as I’m concerned

Heidi Rundle Christmas is coming so do you buy your mate a present or do you give them sexual gifts?

ANSWER FROM MAIA – Hi Hiedi – the answer was the same for all of them. Both!

Heidi Rundle Question for all the ladies: so you’re home alone and your urges are getting to the best of you. Do you take care of the urges yourself, do you ring your man/men or make a sexy video of yourself, curbing your urges as you know when your man/men get home you will be punished o so sweetly for sexting up there day?

ANSWER FROM CASSADEE – I’m going to take this one Heidi. I was trying to spice up the day of my men one night when they were both on duty at the station. They are EMT’s for the Grey River fire department. Anyways, it was late and I was feeling that- um, urge, so I went upstairs and climbed onto our bed, and um, well was taking things into my own hands when the phone rang with a video call from Sam. I thought perfect so answered it, holding the screen up so that he could see me in ah, well all my glory, so to speak. But it wasn’t Sam it was his Chief. Who had meant to call me to tell me that the boys were going to be late and inadvertently pushed video call. So be warned ladies, be warned! The poor man turns purple every time he sees me now.

SARAH MARSH

Q:Roxana Dykes-Planck What’s your favorite sexual position and where do you like to do it?

Answer from Talia: Well Roxana, I’d have to say that for sentimental reasons my favorite place to ambush my men is in the bathing room attached to our suite, and I still love it when they bend me over the side and make me scream.

Q:Avril Shafer Stepowski Any Female Character! Does being with an alpha male really frustrate you at times?

Answer from Eve: Hi Avril, you better believe it can be frustrating as hell! Especially when they gang up on you just to get their way!

Q: Kymberly Holland This is for Sarah, from Sarah’s Crew. How did you learn to balance that many men to keep everyone happy? Having been in a menege a’ quarto before I know its hard to balance everyones feelings…

Answer from Sarah: Honestly Kymberly, I’m still learning every single day. Having six mates plus a little rugrat running around makes the word ‘multitasking’ seem inadequate, but luckily for me, my men are helpful in all sorts of ways! 😉

Q:Kassandra Dumas To any female character, what finally makes you give in to your Alpha, what draws you?

Answer from Sally: One day you finally reach a point where you can really believe and trust that this man is going to be there to love and support you no matter what life throws at you both. When you find that, the only logical step is going all in!

Q:Heidi Rundle For Sarah, to all Ladies in your books. What is your one favorite sexual trick to use on your men when you want to get their attention really quickly? And a question for the men: Your Lady loves are all Human, but what’s the one sexiest thing she does for you that none of your own species would ever do to you?

Answer part 1 from Eve: God, I hate to even admit this one…but the surest way to get my mates attention is to get naked of course! It literally will stop their train of thought no matter what they are doing.

Answer part 2 from Grae: I think one of the most fascinating things about human women are that they can be such a contradiction. They can be so strong and so vulnerable, they aren’t afraid to show their males that they are needed; that was one of the most irresistible things about our Talia.

Q:Avril Shafer Stepowski Like, how does it feel to have all your hotspots getting attention all at once?

Answer from Sarah: You know when you go to the spa for a pedicure and they put you in one of those incredible massage chairs with the foot bath at the bottom? It’s kind of like that…only ALL OVER!

Q: Heidi Rundle Fun one now: so all your characters are strong but would they switch places for a day with their men? To see what it’s like to have sex as a man feel all different kinds of emotions. Or is being a woman hard enough who wants to feel what men do?

Answer from Sally: Lol, no disrespect to the men of the Universe…but I’m fairly certain that being a woman is a thousand times more complicated than being a man! But sure I’d try it for a day, hey it’d just be like having a vacation from your hormones right?

Q: Elena Kincaid I have one for Sarah, and it’s for your wip, Dori. J Do you want to find true love one day or forever play the field and why?

Answer from Dori: Who me?? *looks around to try and find someone behind her* Hell no! I’m way too busy to let some man try and tie me down…besides, why commit to the chow mein when you can enjoy the entire Hot Wok buffet, am I right? 😉

Q: Heidi Rundle Question for all the ladies: so you’re home alone and your urges are getting to the best of you, do you take care of the things yourself? Do you ring your man/men or make a sexy video as you no when your man/men get home you will be punished o so sweetly for sexting up their day?

Answer from Talia: Dang….I’ll be back in ten minutes, I’m going to go do that right now!

Q: Kassandra Dumas This is for Sarah. What really went through Sarah’s mind when she realized that Zane was going to be difficult? Were there any insecurities, doubts or any uncertainties she would win him?

Amswer from Sarah: Yes, absolutely there were doubts that I could be what he needed, hell, what they all needed. But at the end of the day, all I could be was give them everything I had and hope that it was enough. I guess that’s all anyone can ever do in any relationship, just lay your heart out there and hope for the best. It’s a horrible kind of bravery to love someone when you aren’t certain they can or will love you back, but the rewards can be great if you just take the chance.

ELENA KINCAID

Roxana Dykes-Planck What’s your favorite sexual position and where do you like to do it? Anna, UNSHATTERED: Hi Roxana. I love it when Nathan just strips me and throws me over the arm rest of the couch. There is just something so primal and erotic when you can’t wait to be inside the person that you love.

Sarah Marsh Here’s one for Elena, for Nathan from her Silver Cliff series…of which I need more wink emoticon. Nathan, what was the one thing about Anna that you knew you couldn’t resist?

Nathan, UNSHATTRED: Hello, Sarah. Her smile. I love Anna’s smile. That woman could light up a room just by flashing her pearly whites.

Avril Shafer Stepowski Any Female Character! Does being with an alpha male really frustrate you at times? Gemma, Alpha Blood: Hey girl! I love my Alpha males, but yes, they can be frustrating, like the time I knew I would have been an asset on the battlefield, yet they insisted I stay behind like some defenseless damsel in distress. I am a bad ass! I need to be where the action is.

Debra Blantz-Trimble Do you like menage? If so, MMF or FFM? Maddie, Three Made In Heaven: Well, Debra, I am married to two hunky men, so…um….yeah, I love me some MFM action…all night long. 😉

Kassandra Dumas To any female character, what finally makes you give in to your Alpha, what draws you? Gemma, Alpha Blood: Kassandra, my men Jordan and Kane are both super Alpha’s. Jordan literally is Alpha of the pack. As domineering as my men can be, they are both so loving. They cherish and protect me, not to mention how giving they are in the bedroom. I can’t help but give into them. Between us girls, those men give into to me more often. 😉

Avril Shafer Stepowski Like, how does it feel to have all your hotspots getting attention all at once? Jocelyn, Ocean’s Three (wip): Oh Avril, I dreamt about my men, Cameron and Reed, for so long but the dreams were nothing compared to how they make me feel in reality. How does it feel? Fantastic, multiply orgasmic! They have me wound so tight when I can’t be with them,

Heidi Rundle Fun one now so all your characters are strong but would they switch places for a day with there men? see what its like to have sex as a man feel all different kinds of emotions. or is being a woman hard enough who wants to feel what men do? Gemma, Alpha Blood: Heidi girl, I have no idea how me walk around with those things. Don’t get me wrong, I love their appendages, but sometimes those things have a mind of their own. Although, they both make me feel so amazing, I guess I wouldn’t mind seeing how the other side lives for a day.

Heidi Rundle So you’re home alone and your urges are getting the best of you, do you take care of the urges yourself or do you ring your man/men or make a sexy video of yourself curbing your urges as you know when your man/men get home, you will be punished o so sweetly for sexting up there day? Maddie, Three Made In Heaven: Heidi, I would definitely take care of things if my men were away, maybe even send them little teaser photos of me so they know what’s waiting for them. But If they were home, well, sometimes I like to put on a good show until I drive them so wild that they can’t take it anymore.

Coalition Mates Series

by Sarah Marsh

Do you ever wonder if there is other life out there in the Universe? Do you ever fantasize what they might look like or the planets they might live on? How similar or different they could they be from us?

The heroines of my Coalition Mates series books never could have imagined they’d end up in another galaxy. But one by one they are showing the males who captured them that Earth girls aren’t as meek as they think…but they can be a whole lot of fun! 😉

**************************************************************************************************

Sarah’s Crew: Coalition Mates 1

Sarah Lowen is leaving her past for a fresh start, but when fate has other ideas she finds herself with six rescuers that need her just as much as she needs them. When Sarah wakes up from her accident to see that she’s been rescued by beautiful alien men she thinks she must be dreaming; but her imagination couldn’t have prepared her for the reality of what they need from her.

Daegan was relieved that they had found a suitable female to bond with, fearing he had condemned his bond-mates and crew to certain death by trusting the wrong woman. Tristan, Vaughn, Rykken, and Callen seem to be more than content with sweet little Sarah, but Zane seems determined to keep his distance. Will Zane’s unwillingness to love Sarah cost them all their future?

Talia’s Match: Coalition Mates 2

Talia Booth finds herself kidnapped from her home planet of Earth while hiking and wakes up in an auctioning facility on a strange planet surrounded by aliens. Luckily she catches the eye of a couple of beautiful men who are familiar with her species and they decide to rescue her from a dreadful fate.

Asher Rhodan and Grae Derhsavve have been looking for a third to complete their relationship and start a family and when they see Talia, they both know she’s the one. All they have to do now is convince her that a relationship with both of them is possible.

The Prince and the dragon may not be the type of males that Talia is used to, but before long she finds their attention and steamy teasing impossible to resist. Asher’s complicated family situation threatens to destroy the new happiness the trio has found. Can Talia let go of her inhibitions and let herself love the men that destiny has brought her to?

Eve’s Rescue: Coalition Mates 3

Evangeline Scott was hoping for a fun night on the town after a hellish day. What she couldn’t have imagined was getting kidnapped by alien slavers and then left to die on an abandoned ship.

Kai Dallen and Roan Quinn were having some bad luck of their own when they found themselves set up by an old adversary and trapped in the vault of a Dhuaation Pharaoh’s ship with no way out. When Khaman-Ra makes them an offer they can’t refuse, the two space pirates end up rescuing a ship full of human female cargo. All three males are immediately drawn to one of the beauties and make an agreement to satisfy everyone’s desires. The only problem is, they didn’t think to ask Eve and when she wakes up to find that she’s now married to three aliens she’s mad as hell. By the time all four of them realise their true feelings, will it be too late, as a woman from Roan’s past threatens to ruin it all?

Surrender: Coalition Mates 4

Seduce me with words.

Inspire me with passion.

Blind me with longing.

Break me with need.

Bind me with love

Sally Owens was content to spend her life hiding in plain sight, as long as no one got too close or tried to wrestle the reigns away from her that is…

When she goes out for a night on the town to troll for the new Mr. Right Now, getting kidnapped and shipped out into space was NOT what she had in mind. But above all else Sally is a survivor and she soon comes up with a plan to thrive in this new world.

Arkenon Quinn, Courtesan Guild Master on the planet of Sirus, is informed that one of the new human refugees wants to join the Courtesan Guild and he was of course curious. However, when he meets the audacious and beautiful Sally he finds himself signing up to be the one to mentor her against his better judgement. What he could never have anticipated was how quickly this fascinating creature would steal his heart and force him to do something he’s never had to do before- chase a female.

Will Sally’s painful past keep her from finding a future with the man who’s like no other she’s ever met? Or will she have the strength to place her body and soul in Arkenon’s extremely capable hands?

*************************************************************************************************

I currently have too many WIP’s on the go, you don’t even want to know what a mess it is in my brain right now! I’ve been working on the next two in the Coalition Mates series, a paranormal/ fantasy novel called Raven’s Awakening, another sexy sci fi for a box set project and I’ve just completed the first book in a paranormal romance series which features a saucy little Fairy God-Mother named Pandora. This series is a bit of a spin on the traditional fairy tales, our match-maker Dori likes to walk on the wild side and she’s bound and determined to leave an original mark.

Here’s a taste for you!

Happily Evil After: Viktor

Have you ever read a fairy tale and wondered why the goody two-shoe Princes and Princesses were always the ones who got their Happy Endings? Did you ever think that maybe you weren’t seeing all sides to the story?

Pandora is a Dark Fairy God-Mother and after growing up vilified by her own species she decided to take a stand for the under-dog and misunderstood bad boys out there by making it her job to help them find their own Happy Endings. How hard could it be to manipulate some of the scariest and most feared beings in their world? Who knows, maybe by helping them she’ll finally find out where she belongs?

Viktor Kresech has spent his entire un-dead life being the bogey man to the paranormal community and that’s the way he likes to keep it….with everyone else far away from him. But when the opportunity arises to finally take his revenge on his life-long nemesis there isn’t anything he won’t do to make Conrad pay. Even if it means risking his reputation and rescuing the damsel in distress!

Halle Briggs never expected to find herself in need of a savior, especially one that had a reputation like Viktor’s. But as a shifter she’s used to listening to her instincts and her cat trusts the strange woman that is supposed to be her Fairy-God Mother. I mean, if a girl can’t trust her own Fairy God-Mother then what is this world coming to?

Now more from Maia Dylan!

Author bio:

Maia Dylan lives, loves and works in beautiful New Zealand. She married her best friend and they have two adorable, but stubborn children who obviously take after their father.

In January of last year, Maia submitted her first ever manuscript to Siren Publishing. She wasn’t at all confident that it would be accepted and in fact she was expecting a nicely worded email with a resounding no! Much to her surprise less than two weeks later she had an acceptance and a signed contract in hand. Since then she hasn’t looked back!

Although ultimately her dream is to be able to write full time on a sandy beach with a Margarita in hand, she is quite happy to fit her writing in when she can. As long as someone reads her books, gets a laugh and maybe comes to love her characters and much as she does, then she feels that she is living her dreams no matter what!

Untitled book one from untitled series – MM

Realizing that he still had his hands on Finn’s hips, Devon dropped his arms to his sides and moved back as far as he could. Watching Devon closely, Finn’s head tilted sideways as if he was trying to figure out a complex math equation. “So,” Devon cleared his throat when his voice came out a little rough, “I know there is a lot of water under our bridge, and I can’t expect it to be like it was, but do you think we can move on from here as friends?”

Finn’s eyes narrowed again. “Is that what you want?”

Devon lifted his arms, running a frustrated hand through his hair. “No! Yes! Shit, Finn, I’m trying so fucking hard to be stoic and not make this about what I want.”

“But that’s what I’m asking you, Dev. I’m asking what do you want?” Finn stepped closer until their chests were almost touching, and Devon’s tenuous hold on his control snapped.

Yanking Finn into his arms, he slid his hand up his back and into Finn’s hair to cup the back of his head. Holding him still, Devon lowered his own head until their foreheads were pressed together. “I want it all, Finn. Everything and anything you’re willing to give me. I want to go to bed every night with you by my side, and wake up the exact same way in the morning. I want to be the man you need in your life and the lover that you crave and reach for in the still of night. I want it all, Finn. With you, I want it all.”

Devon felt like he had just ripped his still beating heart from his chest, and laid it at Finns feet. And in a very real way, he just had.

Coming Soon: Alpha Blood Treat

Here’s a sexy little snippet: “I finally got the boys to—” Kane stopped dead in his tracks in the doorway to his bedroom, his words completely failing him due to the sight that greeted him. Gemma was sprawled out in the center of their king sized bed, wearing nothing but the wolf ears headband she wore earlier as part of her Halloween costume, her lips quirking into a sly little smile at the sight of him. A goddess, she was bare before him in a lazily relaxed pose. Her left leg was straight, her right, bent at the knee and spread open, revealing her glistening pink pussy. Both arms were loosely stretched above her head in a pose that conveyed, come and get me and do to me what you will. Kane would happily oblige as soon as he was able to get his frozen self to move. He couldn’t help but marvel at her beauty for a moment more. She had him tied up in knots all evening with her sexy little wolf outfit, the hilarity of her costume notwithstanding. The beige, faux-fur trimmed dress hugged her every curve, flaring out at mid thigh, and revealing just enough cleavage to be sexy, yet classy. That didn’t stop other males from ogling Gemma, something that one angry, possessive look from either Jordan or Kane had them regretting. Completing her ensemble was the headband she was currently wearing, a tail, and faux fur boots that went almost up to her knee. Damn, he and Jordan were two of the luckiest sons of bitches. Sons of bitches who adamantly refused …for as long as they could… to wear any sort of costume. Kane had learned pretty quickly that he could not refuse Gemma anything that would make her and their three year old boys happy, especially if not giving in would make them unhappy. So he and Jordan begrudgingly donned last minute, makeshift costumes, which Kane had to also begrudgingly admit, looked pretty bad ass! He had applied some of Gemma’s Makeup to make himself look like Eric Draven from The Crow—the black eye-liner and dark shadow only, since Gemma did not own any white face paint. The black leather pants, skin tight black, long sleeved shirt, and black boots were already part of his wardrobe. He went sans the long black coat because Jordan needed it for his costume. In addition to Kane’s coat, Jordan wore black slacks, a ribbed black undershirt and black boots with buckles on them. When he put on his dark aviators, his Neo from The Matrix look was complete. Gemma squealed with glee when they had surprised her with their costumes. Both characters were from two of her favorite movies. “You both look way hotter, though,” she had said. And from the scent of her arousal, Kane had no doubt she meant it. “I think you boys deserve a treat later,” Gemma had said with a devilish wink. She then sauntered off into the family room adding just a little extra sway to her hips.

My Wip, Ocean’s Three (Made In Heaven #2)

delves deeper into the whole psychic/soul mate mythology and primarily takes place on a cruise. Fun fact: A big chunk of the book takes place on a cruise and I actually got to write some of that while on a cruise. Talk about inspiration. Here are some teasers and a sexy little snippet: A sharp slap resonated in the room, immediately followed by a surprised squeak. Cameron rubbed the stinging area, generating another moan from Joss.

“You’re ours, Joss,”—slap—“And we are all yours. No one else’s, baby.” After another slap, another moan, and another gentle rub, he said, “Do you understand?”

He slapped her ass again when she didn’t respond. “I.”—smack—“Asked.”—smack—“You.”—smack—“A.”—smack—“Question.”—smack.

“Yes! Yes!” she panted. “Yours.”

“Good Girl.”

Thanks for joining me, ladies. And hope to see you all at the Damn, That’s Hot Erotica event. 🙂

Two for the Beta by Cree Storm

Two for the Beta

by Cree Storm

Being in the middle of a battle between very strange creatures, in the year 1915, is not something Noah or Seth even considered when they left their home to find their best friend, Damien. The battles and near death experiences have Noah begging to go home and Pete trying to keep them as his mates.

Seth feels left out of everything. He and Noah have been together since birth and in a relationship since puberty. Now Noah is needed to rewrite a book and Pete is needed to keep Noah safe, where does that leave him? He won’t be a third wheel or the reason Noah dies.

Can he persuade Noah to stay and convince Seth he is needed just as much by his pack as Noah is? All Pete knows is he must try, while he keeps his mates safe from an Elder that wants to kill them and a Baliz that wants one of his mates as his own.

STORY EXCERPTS

Pete had faced some serious adversaries during the hundred year war they had been in. However, he couldn’t remember a time that he felt this nervous.

“Why don’t we all sit over here, so we can talk,” Seth suggested.

Pete followed Seth and Noah into the sitting area. The men didn’t know it, but this was actually Pete’s room.

When Noah had passed out, Pete had wanted a comfortable place for Noah to recover. Having his mate surrounded by his things also helped his wolf stay calm until he could come and see how Noah was recuperating.

“So, Pete, tell us about yourself,” Noah said as he sat down next to Seth on the settee.

Shrugging, Pete said, “What is it you’d like to know?”

“What is it that you do for the pack? I mean, Asher and the others say you’re the beta of the pack and I know that means you are like the second-in-command, but sadly, I really never did a great deal of reading on wolf pack hierarchy,” Noah said with a slight red tinge to his cheeks.

Pete smiled, saying, “It’s okay, Noah. I’m sure you never expected to be mated to a wolf.”

Noah snorted. “Uh, no, I can pretty much guarantee that never entered the realm of possibilities for me.”

Pete sat back and crossed his legs. He thought for a moment and then said, “My position is a dominant one. The only wolves stronger than myself are Alpha Asher and Asa. My job is to care for the members of our pack. If they need something or have a problem, I’m the one they come to for help.”

Seth scrunched his eyes in confusion. “Why wouldn’t they go to the Alpha?”

“If everyone that had a problem went to the Alpha, Asher would never have time for anything or anyone else,” Pete answered.

Noah leaned forward. “Well, if they all come to you, then how would you have time for anyone or anything else?”

Pete looked at Noah. “When a beta is unmated, they generally like to focus on the pack around them. To know you’re helping the people you care about is very fulfilling. Once we mate, well, we generally delegate some of our responsibilities to some of the enforcers. However, in my case, since we have merged two packs, there is another beta as well as four enforcers to help out. I would never neglect my mates, Noah.”

Noah sat back, quietly whispering, “Oh…okay.”

Seth was more direct with his questions, and the next one was something that caught Pete a little off guard. “Why should we mate with you, Pete? I mean, what if we find a way back to our time? Would you force us to stay here?”

Pete had not really given that idea a thought. All he had known was he wanted his mates. With them talking to him, it told Pete that he wasn’t as screwed as he originally thought when Noah had said he wanted to go home. However, he knew this answer was important to both his mates so he needed to be careful how he answered it.

Thinking for a moment longer, Pete finally answered, “I am a lucky man. Unlike Nathan, Cain and Ira, I have two of the best parents that any person could wish for. My parents knew at a very young age that they were mates and when they were of age, they became one. Because that’s what a mate is. A mate is the other part to our soul. This is the one, in my case, two, that were meant to be mine.”

“But how can you be so sure we are your mates? What if just Noah is your mate? What if you mate with him and then you can’t with me?” Seth asked quietly.

Pete watched as Noah clasped Seth’s hand tightly and that’s when he realized something very important. Seth walked around like he was confident and strong. However, he had just as many fears and insecurities as Noah. Seth just kept his fears and worries buried deep inside.

Pete stood up and knelt in front of Seth. Placing his hand over both his mates’, Pete’s intensity could be heard in his voice, as he said, “Seth, when a wolf meets his or her mate, they know immediately. The scent that fills the room is like no other.”

Seth didn’t look at Pete, but continued to look at their connected hands. “But what if the smell is just one of us? I mean, even if it is just me you smell, I can’t and won’t leave Noah. I love him more than my next breath.”

Pete felt Noah’s flexing hand when Noah squeezed Seth harder, whispering in a choking breath, “I love you too, Seth.”

Pete almost felt left out, but realized that hopefully, in time, they would be saying the same words to him as well. Instead, Pete said, “When I smell Noah, it’s like after a long rain and the air is so fresh and cool. Then that breeze passes by and the unmistakable pine scent crosses my nostrils, like a sprig of rosemary.”

“I smell like rosemary?’ Noah asked in awe.

Nodding, Pete said, “After a nice cool rain.”

Noah asked anxiously, “What does Seth smell like?”

“In the deep forest we have a tree called a Ponderosa pine. When you scratch the bark and sniff, it smells like vanilla and butterscotch. It is sweet and very sensual.”

Noah’s smile was sappy as he asked, “And that’s what you smell when you smell Seth?”

Pete clasped Seth’s cheek as he looked lovingly into his mate’s eyes and said, “They are two very distinct scents and yes, that is what I smell when you are near, Seth. You and Noah are my mates, of that I am certain.”

**Adult content warning, contains a super sexy MM love scene and graphic language!**

ADULT EXCERPT

Noah looked at Pete and asked, “What did you think about when you came here?”

Pete watched as the water came down from the top of the cliff as he thought about how to answer. Just when Noah thought he might not answer, Pete said, “We had been at war so long with the other pack. I just wanted it to end. We couldn’t let the cubs run free or build too close to the other pack.”

Pete sighed as he thought back to not so very long ago. “I would come back here and sit, looking out at the stars and one would fall from the sky. I’d close my eyes and wish so hard.”

“What did you wish for?” Seth asked quietly.

Pete looked at Seth and then Noah as he said, “You. Oh, I didn’t know your name and I sure didn’t know there would be two, but I would think about finding my mate and building a home. How we would come here and swim in the pond, make love near the falls and sleep under the stars.”

Noah felt his cock stiffening as Pete spoke. He even whispered, “You’d make love, here?”

Pete turned to Noah as he whispered in a seductive tone, “Oh yes. Do you see that plant over there?”

Seth and Noah both looked in the direction Pete was pointing and Seth asked, “You mean the aloe plant?”

Pete smiled as he stood up and walked to the aloe plant and took off one large leaf. A thick oozing liquid ran onto Pete’s finger and he went back to Noah, softly saying, “I would first take my tongue and eat his ass until he was relaxed and ready to welcome my naturally slicked finger. Then I would stretch him over and over.”

Noah was panting and if he didn’t open his zipper soon, he would have marks.

Seth must have felt the same, because Noah heard him sliding his zipper down as he panted, “And then what?”

Pete laid the aloe leaf next to Noah and took his fingers to his zipper, asking, “May I?”

Noah couldn’t speak from the lust-filled lump in his throat, so he nodded as he lay back and let Pete pull down his zipper, saying, “If it’s okay with Seth, maybe I can show you instead?”

Noah moaned as he looked at Seth. Seth was stroking his hardened shaft as he watched Pete and nodded rapidly.

Pete didn’t wait as he quickly removed Noah’s pants, socks and shoes. Noah quickly removed his shirt as Pete stood and took off the pants he had put on earlier to eat.

Turning to Seth, Noah begged, “Seth, you too. I want you with us.”

Pete’s eyes shifted a bit with the smells of desire coming off his mates, saying in a gravelly voice, “Seth, will you consider making love to me?”

Seth’s eyes went huge as he quickly looked at Noah. Noah couldn’t believe how hot that sounded and panted out, “Oh my God, that would be so fucking hot!”

Seth stood and removed the rest of his clothing and waited for Pete to get to his knees. Taking the aloe leaf, Seth placed some of the clear gel on his finger.

Noah watched as Seth then tapped Pete and asked him to lift a bit and slid under the man. He knew the exact instant that Seth took Pete into his mouth, as did the rest of the forest when Pete yelled, “Holy shit!”

Pete breathed rapidly in and out through his teeth and then focused on Noah.

Noah had laid back in a slight angle to watch as Seth sucked Pete down. He knew from experience that Seth had no gag reflex. Smiling, Noah said, “He’s good, isn’t he?”

Pete nodded his head as he closed his eyes and just felt the pleasure Seth was bringing him.

Bending his knees, Noah heard Pete draw in a deep breath.

Noah didn’t know if it was because Seth had just deep throated him, or because Pete could see his puckered hole, waiting for the promise Noah could see in Pete’s lust-filled eyes.

Pete leaned down and Noah thought he had died and gone to heaven, as Pete began to lick and suckle his anus.

“Oh, Pete! Oh…Oh…Oh…yeah like that….Oh my God!” Noah felt Pete’s tongue licking the outer edge and then stiffening and pushing into his hole. The sensations were like a small charge of electricity connected from his hole to his cock.

Pete must have grabbed the aloe plant, because the next thing Noah felt was that thick digit pushing past his ring of muscles and he was being finger fucked as Pete continued to eat his ass.

Pete lifted up and groaned, “Seth…Oh by the Gods, Seth…your mouth is fucking amazing.”

Noah heard Pete groan even louder.

Feeling Pete’s fingers moving in and out of his hole, had Noah hissing, “Oh shit, your fingers feel good in my ass.”

Not giving Noah time to really think, Pete pumped his finger in short thrusts, saying, “Let me show you what Seth’s doing.”

Pete swooped down and took Noah to the root as he plunged a second finger into Noah’s stretching ass.

“Uh…” Noah gasped as he lifted his hips and enjoyed the warm moisture of his mate’s mouth on his cock and those magic fingers scissoring and stretching his ass.

Pete popped off Noah’s cock as he gasped and groaned, “I need…Seth, please…I need.”

Seth slid out from under Pete as Pete quickly added a third finger.

Noah felt his shaft leaking down the sides and then Pete’s tongue was lapping his pre-cum up and wrapping his lips around the mushroomed head.

Noah could see Seth was lubing his cock, and placing it at Pete’s hole.

Speaking of our awesomesauce members: Q&A time:

1- Avril Shafer Stepowski What do you find the most difficult when writing?

Sarah: When I first started writing and decided to go with science fiction romance because that was what I loved to read, I didn’t think about how hard it would be to create entire new worlds from scratch. I was really paranoid about world building and the dreaded ‘info dump’. I knew how irritated I got myself as a reader when you start a book and then lose interest when it begins to sound like an alien geography textbook. I was terrified of readers getting bored while I tried to set the scene, which is why my earlier stories are so short. As I’ve gotten more comfortable in my genre I hope that I’ve learned how to be more organic when creating new worlds and species, but I think one of the most difficult things as a writer is keeping the “this isn’t any good” devil on your shoulder from piping up and stalling your muse. It’s such a jerk.

Maia: There are a couple of things for me. Finding the time to write can be a real bastard. As with the others, I work full time, have two kids under 7, a husband who is tolerant, but needs to be shown a little Maia loving *wink wink* on occasion and then I have my reading too. My TBR list has gotten real big since I started writing. The other thing are my characters, and in particular the ones whose stories I have yet to tell. I feel like Ode Mae Brown from Ghost at night, sometimes as my characters try to get my attention. They aren’t singing Henry the 8^th though thankfully 😉

Elena: Sometimes distractions break my concentration and then I lose my train of thought, like for instances other stories are screaming in my head and I have to jot them down so I don’t forget. I just have too many things going on in my brain sometimes.

2- Amy Herman-Pall I know the three of you are collaborating on the story you’re sharing with us. Is it hard to write with someone else? If you could choose any other author in the world to write with, past, present, or future, who would it be?

Sarah: I was shocked actually how easy it was to write with Elena and Maia, we do have pretty different styles so I expected to have a bit more trouble blending them together. The most difficult part is the time-zone differences. 😉 If I had to pick any other author in the world to write with, I think I would pick Anne Rice. She really was the first author to spark my fascination with the paranormal when I was in school, I love the inclusion of history, fact and lore, in what she writes. She never ceases to peak my curiosity.

Maia: Not difficult at all! We do have different writing styles, but they seem to blend really nicely and the fact that we have taken a POV each helps to give each character their own distinct personality. LOL I agree with Sarah about the time zones, they need to move a little closer hehe. I would love to collaborate with Nalini Singh or Sophie Oak, ooo oo or Heather Rainer. That would be too cool.

Elena: I was shocked as well about how easy it was to write with them. Maia and Sarah are both very talented writers. I am a fan. J We sort of fed off each other and the story started to take shape. And of course we have to thank our Street Teamers for the topics we are working on. I find that I am really loving this story and it needs to be told. If I could collaborate with Jane Austin from beyond the grave, that would be a dream come true.

3- Dawn Martin-Smith How did you meet and what made you decide to collaborate?

Sarah: Elena posted looking for other authors to see who would be interested in starting a street team group, and after debating whether it would make me look like a newbie idiot of not, finally commented asking “what’s a street team?”, then I believe Maia chimed in asking the same and we’ve never looked back! (that’s what I remember as the first meeting, did we meet before that?)

Elena: I am pretty sure I interacted with you both at some point, but I am so happy the three of us came together. Our personalities, though different are very complimentary and I am even happier to call Sarah and Maia my friends. Feeling mushy! If had to face aliens, evil shifters and vamps, I’d want those two to have my back.

Maia: I think we may have interacted during an event, but it wasn’t until Elena reached out looking for people to start a street team that the three of us truly connected. And we haven’t looked back since!

4- Amy Herman-Pall What is the one sex scene you yourselves have written that you’d like to try?

Sarah: Oooo, I’d be all over some menage action.

Maia: If I could clone my hubby then yep – totally into a little ménage loving!

Elena: All of them of course, but probably my fun with food scene from Three made In Heaven.

5- Avril Shafer Stepowski How old were you when you decided to take the writing plunge?

Sarah: 35

Maia: Shhhh…39. Only started in January this year – late bloomer 😉

Elena: Since I learned how to write, that’s all I ever wanted to do.

6- Amy Herman-Pall What’s the one thing you want to write, but for whatever reason, haven’t yet?

Sarah: I’d love to delve into the BDSM world, but I’m a little on the OCD side and would need to do a lot of research first. Ideally experience it for myself first.

Maia: MM. I would really love to write an MM series. The MMF I am about to release in a couple of weeks was the hottest sex scenes I have ever written! My editor had this to say: “Sex scenes were hot city. The detail was vivid and sizzled on the page. Really, really good.” I have plans for an MM series with four books in it, and what is keeping me from it is just finding the time J

Elena: I’d like to write children’s books one day as well. I love writing erotic romance, so I will have to find a balance for it somewhere down the line.

7- Amy Herman-Pall What’s your writing process? Do you plot everything out before you start? Do you start with an idea and then let your characters tell you where you’re going from there?

Sarah: I’m a fly by the seat of my pants kind of writer, I usually wait for a story to begin unfolding in my mind and then just write as it comes to me.

Maia: I’m crap! I’m a wing it and see kinda girl. I tried for the last three books to be organized and started out planning the book on a spread sheet, and had it all worked out – then wrote something completely different!

Elena: For me it’s a combination. An idea sparks and I immediately have to write it down and then I keep adding to it as I get more and more of the story. I don’t actually sit down to write it until I have a good direction of where it’s going. Many times the directions will change as I write and characters take over. I even get surprised along the way.

8- Julie Ayling Where do you find your inspiration for your characters in your writing?

Sarah: Sometimes it’s hard to know where the inspiration comes from for characters. It could be a photo, or a fantasy, or even just one phrase that sparks an entire personality around it.

Maia: A lot of my characters have personality traits of people I have met. And what could potentially be an example of my own insanity, my characters are real to me, and as I write they are whispering in my ear. I get their personality and characteristics directly from them as well.

Elena: A lot of my stories have come from dreams. Seriously, my brain never shuts off. I could be dreaming about something that doesn’t make much sense, but when I wake up from the dream, bits and pieces of it have formed an entire novel. I have several outlines lined up and ready to be written from these instances. My first published novel, Three Made In Heaven was born this way.

9- John Tucker What’s been the most shocking thing you’ve put in a book???

Sarah: Shocking according to who? 😉 My writing style tends to lean towards graphic, so I imagine my first book being a MFMMMMM was a shock to most of my friends and family. LOL.

Maia: Nothing in my books has shocked me so far, and probably my readers would say the same thing. Perhaps the fact that I wrote a prophecy in my Shifters of Freedom Springs series that rhymed would probably shock the hell out of my old English teacher! Not to mention the Pagan spells and rituals I made up for books three and four of that series.

Elena: I agree with Sarah about the according to who part. We are erotic romance writers. I write a lot of ménage, which I guess is shocking for people who don’t read the genre. Maybe because I love reading it so much that nothing I write is really shocking to me. I just want to continue thinking up more hot ways to write a love scene. 😉

10- Julie Ayling Have you ever secretly written someone into a book to get a little revenge on?

Sarah:….not yet. ;-p

Maia: Hadn’t thought of that…. hmmmm

Elena: I wanted to. There was an ex-boyfriend I thought about writing in, where he falls overboard on a cruise and gets eaten by sharks, but nah, I didn’t.

And now for some questions for our fabulous host, John Tucker!:

1- John, you are such an amazing host. You run your events like a well oiled machine. Can you tell us a little about your very first hosting experience and what made you decide you wanted to throw your wild and crazy events?

My first big event was called ‘Dreams, Fantasies, Nightmares, and Visions and included several author friends over 5 days. Like with all my events I created a planning room to get all our ducks in a row. The party itself only had one hiccup but ran extremely well. Since all the authors reported many new followers, page likes, and book purchases, I decided to keep busy creating new events. While the last 4 events have been confined to Erotica, I’m looking to include more genres in the future.

2- What would you like to see/do in one of your events that has not yet been done?

I’d like to see Facebook ignore any complaints about nudity in a ‘Private’ Erotca event and allow my authors and attendees to celebrate the human body! There are limits of course, but classy pictures of beautiful people should not be censored

3- You are not just a host, you are also an erotica writer. When and why did you choose to start writing this genre?

I wrote my first erotica – Twelve Doors to Ecstasy – as a bet with a fellow author. Surprisingly, at least to me, it became my bestselling effort. Since then I’ve published 2 more – Two Days to Passion and Vergene (Revenge.Twisted) and I’m currently working on a paranormal romance.

4- Can you tell us a little about you current release/wip?

Violetta’s Voyeur is a paranormal romance with a mysterious man interacting with a sexually hot woman who has a cold mentality about relationships.

5- Do you have any kinks/fetishes?

Me??!! I’m pretty vanilla when it comes to sex but, with the right woman, wouldn’t hesitate to explore my boundaries. I do like role-playing where some of my latent kinkiness does come out at times.

6- Do you have any particular things you need before you start to write?

Gotta have peace and quiet, hard candies and Dr. Pepper.

7- If you had to choose one male super hero and one female super hero to have a menage with, who would it be and why?

Nice Question!! I’ve always been enamored with the Scarlet Witch of the Avengers group. The male would be anyone the lady wants.

8- What type of story would you like to tell that you haven’t written yet?

Coincidentally, I had a dream last night about a man thrust into a strange situation. It has several cultural elements, plenty of drama, and should be an unrelenting view of forced contrition. I can’t wait to start it.

9- Build your ideal woman using five female celebrities.

Hmmmmm. I’ll have to use professionals for this question, rather than celebrities. (Porn Stars). Head – Abigail Johnson. Torso – Ava Addams. Trunk – Remy LaCroix. Legs – Staci Silverstone. Attitude/Temperament – Chastity Lynn.

10- Which male celebrities would you love to have a bromance with?

As I’ve stated in the past Ryan Reynolds and I’ve added Nathan Fillion.

11- What is your next big hosting event?

Damn, That’s Hot Erotica 4 is definitely scheduled for January. I’m also working with Elle Klass on a Thriller/Mystery Event for Nov/Dec.

So do you wan to come and play with us at this super sexy event? Get to know us a little better and get a chance to win a ton of prizes! Here is the schedule of when you can find us there!:

Author Bio:

Maia Dylan lives, loves and works in beautiful New Zealand. She married her best friend and they have two adorable, but stubborn children who obviously take after their father.

In January of this year, Maia submitted her first ever manuscript to Siren Publishing. She wasn’t at all confident that it would be accepted and in fact she was expecting a nicely worded email with a resounding no! Much to her surprise less than two weeks later she had an acceptance and a signed contract in hand. Since then she hasn’t looked back and currently has three books in her Grey River series set for publication.

Latest release” Blessed with an Angel:

Blurb:

Angel Navarez came to Grey River looking for a better life for her and her son, but she hadn’t counted on having to fight a man looking for revenge to live it.

Noah and Chris Carson both recognized Angel as their Fated mate the moment they met. But Noah firmly believed that his past actions made it impossible for him to have a future, so he left fully expecting his brother to find happiness with their mate without him.

But that changes when Angel is threatened and Noah drops everything to be there to protect her. Chris convinces Noah that he’s worthy of their dream, but he can’t fight for their future if he continued to fight his past. They must work together to earn back Angels trust and convince her that they can be the mates she deserves.

Just when their dream is within their grasp, the past catches up with them and the threat becomes very, very real.

About Sarah:
I live in British Columbia, Canada; I have all my life. I went to culinary school and studied Pastry Arts, working as a Pastry Chef in Vancouver for five years. But the commute into the city got to me and I had to change careers back to an office. I still work full time; I now work for a sporting goods wholesaler in accounting…which is where my twitchy creative side began to get restless…and as my Baba used to say, “Idle hands are the Devils playthings.” Or in my case, idle hands get me into all sorts of trouble; so I go a little bananas on the hobby side of things. I still love to cook and bake, I do a large amount of recipe creating and the boys at work certainly appreciate being sacrificed as taste testers. I am also a stress knitter, to the point that I had to open my own Etsy shop to unload some of the scarves I make. Realistically there’re only so many scarves a gal can make and keep for herself before people start to judge you…. I also paint when the muse hits me, mostly abstract in acrylics. I love to garden and grow things, have a weakness for all animals, and an un-natural obsession for making jam. I literally made 24 different kinds of jam last summer, it’s a bit of a problem….but there’s just so many different kinds you can create! Who am I to say no to see what Tiger’s Blood jam would taste like? (it’s strawberry, watermelon and coconut by the way….and it was AMAZEBALLS.)
I’ve always had a love of reading, science fiction and paranormal genres have always fascinated me, so once I found myself addicted to romance novels it really only made sense that the sci fi romance genre drew me like a moth to a flame. I only started writing about a year ago, it took me a long time to get Sarah’s Crew to the point where I would let someone else read what I was writing, let alone send it into a publisher. But eventually I did and after one fairly nice rejection I moved on and found Siren. I’ve been so impressed at how supportive and helpful all the other Siren authors have been through this entire process, I’m a little on the shy side so the social media and marketing part of the writing process has been intimidating to say the least. My goal is to keep working on my writing skills and to hopefully improve with each book, and I hope that anyone who reads them enjoys the world that I’m trying to create!

Love at first sight: Romance fact or fairy tale?

June 8, 2015.Reading time 2 minutes.

I recently had a reader review of one of my books and one comment they made stuck with me. They said that they didn’t like the ‘instant love’ as they called it between the main characters. Now, bear in mind that this particular book was in the science fiction/ romance genre, which is filled with all sorts of fantastical ideas. Vampires, shape-shifters, aliens….zombie apocalypse. So out of all of these ideas, the fact that ‘love at first sight’ was the most unbelievable made me rather, well to be honest…sad.

Have we really become so jaded in this modern age that the simple romance of falling in love at first sight has become an archaic notion or urban myth?

In a society where the norm is now filling out 40 pages of an online questionnaire of micro-matching, then hoping beyond hope that the person popping up on the other side has been truthful in said questionnaires, just for the possibility that it will lead you to your perfect mate; it’s little wonder that some have an issue with embracing the simple idea of following ones heart.

Why do I write science fiction romance? It’s a lot of fun first of all. Secondly, perhaps its because my own love life has always been a little…well, complicated. My bad luck in love has been rather constant, leading me to the only logical conclusion; obviously I must have been a very, very naughty person in a previous life to end up with such bad romantic karma.

What’s one of my personal fantasies?

A simple, real love. Free of the constraints, mating rituals and dating games of today’s society.

Am I still holding out hope somewhere in the deepest reaches of my heart and imagination that my knight in shining alien armor or some version of him will come to my rescue and take me away from all this drudgery?

Maybe….I guess I’m just an old fashioned girl at heart.

Here’s to hoping that your imagination always takes you to the dreams you’ve yet to reach.

Sarah.

Raven’s Awakening Blurb

March 25, 2015.Reading time 2 minutes.

Raven’s Awakening Blurb

Not everyone in this world deserves to be loved. Not everyone will find that other half of their soul. The fates are not so kind.

Some are cursed to simply walk alone, to measure the years as a punishment for deeds done in a life long forgotten.

They say karma’s a bitch….but from Raven’s point of view, not only was karma a bitch, but that bitch was seriously looking to get her eyes gouged out!

For as long as she could remember, she had always felt different. She had been adopted as an infant, and although her parents were very kind and loving people, she had always felt like a stranger in her own family. Not only in her family, but school, with the neighbourhood children, everywhere – she simply did not belong.

So at a very early age she resolved herself to give up trying to fit in and just hid the loneliness and the longing she felt, to put on a fake smile and act as happy and content with life as everyone else around her seemed to be.

In her teenage years, she learned to befriend those whom were also outside of the normal crowd. In her late teens and early twenties she learned that a little bravado and barbarous tongue distracted most people from noticing the truth.

What was the truth? If she was going to be perfectly honest with herself, she would say she was born with a broken heart; doomed before she even came into this world.

If she only knew how close to the truth she truly was.

****

I’m finally buckling down and getting into Raven’s story as she’s been running around in my mind distracting me for the last two books. I hope you enjoy this small look into Raven’s Awakening!

Thanks,

Sarah
