NEW RELEASE: Block 24 by Evan Tyler


Blurb:
A re-emergence of the past…

Natalie Clarke might be spiteful at best and vicious at worst, but was that reason enough for Phillip Gise to leave her lonely and diseased? Fortunately, she has a set of devious plans that just might keep her busy enough to forget her present situation.

Guy Lewis has played Best Friend Extraordinaire to Natalie since grade school, supporting her through all of her daily drama. This time around, Guy runs into his own troubles when his fierce, wealthy manager gives him the type of attention he never asked for…or expected.

Julia Clarke, Natalie’s younger sister, has arrived in Brooklyn to uncover their grandmother’s secret life in Block 24, the site of Auschwitz’s little-known brothel. What Julia discovers proves more relevant in the present age than ever before.

Both heady and sobering, Block 24 is a look at the ways evil from the past can so insidiously visit the present.

REVIEW: La Cala by N. Wood BLOG TOUR



*I received an ARC copy of La Cala in exchange for an honest review.*



La Cala
by N. Wood
Genre: M/M Romance
Length: 54 pages (novella)

Blurb:
When Lance McCarthy chose Ibiza for his holiday destination, he didn't expect to spend the week with Malachy Walsh, an Irish man dressed in blue striped pyjamas.

La Cala is an erotic short story that may well bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.


When I was offered the chance to review another ARC for Ms. Wood, I jumped at it. Once again, she doesn't disappoint. This male/male romance novella is great for an afternoon escape, and will leave you reflecting on your own relationships when you finish reading it.

Lance and Malachy (pronounced Mal-ah-key) are two single gay men who happen to cross paths while on vacation on the island of Ibiza. The story is told from Lance's point of view which allows us to fall for Malachy right along with him. Over the course of a week, they become well acquainted with each other, spending their final day in a hidden cove. 

In true Wood form, not only do you get to enjoy her witty, fun banter between her characters, you can also expect some steamy love scenes. The way she writes her slash, its no wonder so many woman secretly (and not so secretly) enjoy the genre. But more than the physical connection Wood creates, is her ability to make a romance blossom before your eyes. Her writing is a perfect balance of romantic and hot.

There were minor errors in editing, but not enough to detract me from the enjoyment of this tale. It definitely earns five butterflies from me, and an urgent recommendation that you get a copy for yourself!

INTERVIEW: Midnight Caller by NJ Cole BLOG TOUR


Today I have the pleasure of having NJ Cole stop by on the blog tour for her debut release Midnight Caller. I invite authors to answer anywhere from 5-10 questions up to as many as they want from my 'random question stash'; Cole took it to heart and had fun! Hope you enjoy getting a peak inside her head as much as I did.

NJ Cole


If I gave you an elephant where would you hide it?
I’d hide it at your house. You wouldn’t tell, would you?

What is your favorite color of socks to wear?
I don’t care what color they are, but I love warm fuzzy socks.

Something nutty.

Name one actor/actress you would love to get naughty with?
I have a thing for Jessica Alba.

Not sure, I’m asleep when I sleepwalk.

If you were given a chance, would you enter Big Brother?
That is one of my life time dreams!

Women…mmm women.

Do you like dogs or cats?
Both, but I have a goldendoodle. She’s super cute, and I named a character in my book after her (the character formerly known as “Rosalie”).

If I came to your home and looked inside the refrigerator, what would I find?
A light bulb…not sure about anything else. Just kidding. There would be Chinese food containers, a few pizza boxes, and various leftover boxes. There might be a yogurt, too.

Tell me how many hats you have in your house?
*ducks head* more than 100

How many pairs of shoes do you own?
Can you really own shoes? They are free range shoes that live in my closet. It seems that they breed in there, ‘cause there are more and more every year.

What's your bad quality?
I have a bad quality? I asked the voices in my head, and they say, perhaps the fact that I ask the voices, might be one of my bad qualities.

What was the best thing before sliced bread?
Sex…sex is always the best thing. It makes the world go round. 

Do you speak with your dog?
Yes, but she is a bitch and never answers.

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
I’ve probably gotten a lot of help from my friends regardless.

Writing :)

Which is your favorite time of the day?
I love night time.

If given a choice, which animal would you want to be? Why?
Can any of them read? if not…none.

Which is your most favorite place on this earth?
There is a bridge about two miles from my house. Under the bridge there is a small stream and some rocks. If you sit on the rocks, you can listen to the stream and the occasional rumble of a car or truck going over the bridge. The sound drowns out all of the voices in my head with the exception of one…that is where they tell me their story.

If you were stranded on a lonely beach, what are the five things that you would want to survive?
Does this beach have internet service? lol…I’d want my computer, some sunblock, (no swimsuit…giggle), yeah…I’m good. Oh, wait…can I get like a bottomless pitcher of piƱa coladas?

Her fantasy becomes reality as she begins to perform for this stranger, following his instructions over the phone while he watches from afar. Rebecca’s world is turned upside down when finally they meet and she enters into a D/s relationship with her Midnight Caller.

About the Author:

 NJ Cole is a witty, mid-western girl with a kinky side. She works by day and writes by night, all while being a mother to her wonderful boys and serving her Sir.

OK, so here is the May 28th release day promotion. If you buy the book on May 28th I will send a postcard of the cover of Midnight Caller to any address you provide me. I will write a short note on the postcard and sign it. It's the best I can do since an autographed copy isn't possible for ebooks :)

Here's what you need to do:

1. Purchase a copy, either ebook or paperback, on May 28th. (one dayonly)

2. take a screen shot of your receipt, or forward it, or copy and past part of it, or in some way show me that you purchased on May 28th.

3. email it to njcolepromotions@gmail.com

4. Tell me who you would me like to make it out to. For example, if your facebook name and gmail name is something like Fanfic Reader... you don't want me to write it to, Dear Fanfic Reader, ..lol.. say, make it out to Sue. Also, since it is a post card, it won't come in an envelope. Make sure you're alright with the cover arriving at your house. Let me know if I can be creative with my note or if I should keep it PG.

Any questions you can message me on fb or at njcolepromotions@gmail.com

Saturday Snippets

I thought I'd do something a little fun and share some excerpts from my novellas and novels, both released and soon to be released. 
Hope you enjoy!


Visit Amazon to get your copy of this YA novella.
  
  I made the drive from the grocery store out to Royal Hills with a dopey smile on my face. The woman I'd bumped into at the Food Lion had been an absolute delight. When I saw the smashed eggs dripping down her face and her green eyes blazing, the first word that popped into my head was "adorable." I needed to know more about her. Parking my car, I retrieved my bags, and headed for the door.
  "Afternoon, Mr. Childress," a voice called from my right.
  "Howdy, Mr. Harrison. Hedges are looking great," I called, shifting my body in the gardener's direction and slowing my walk. "Mom behave today?" I asked, and he tipped his hat.
  "Yup, she didn't try harvesting my asters today," he replied with a chuckle, and I shook my head. Of course she went after those plants; they reminded her of the flowers she loved so much. Dad had courted her with wild daisies, and they'd been her favorite ever since. Since he'd passed and I had relocated here to be close by, I was doing my best to make sure she had fresh flowers every week.
  I gave Mr. Harrison a wave and made my way inside to mom's room, where I found her watching the birdhouses that hung outside her window. A pair of hummingbirds was flitting back and forth, and I could see her blue eyes dance while she watched. Her hair was fixed in a neat bun; no longer the honey gold it had been in her youth, it was now a sophisticated silver.
  "Hey, Mom," I said, loud enough for her to hear me, but not so loud it would startle her. I waited a few moments, knowing she would soon turn and give me a welcoming smile.
  "Trent!" she cried with surprised excitement, and I squelched the feeling inside - the knowledge that this was going to be one of those days when she would again ask the questions I hated answering. It killed me each time I had to tell her Dad was gone. Her doctor hadn't yet diagnosed her with Alzheimer's, though the indications all pointed to it. Her brief moments of lucidity made me question if her continual lapses were in memory were intentional attempts to block her reality - if it was easier for her to exist in denial.

“Oh,” Erin murmured – both from how good his hands felt on her tired foot, but more at the look in his eyes when she lifted her head toward him. It was all too familiar. 

That was awkward. She wanted this – to be with Jayden as Erin – but it wasn’t allowed. He’d said so, and she had agreed. So why was he setting her body on fire right now with that look? “Jayden.” She whimpered his name, but it got lost in her gasp of surprise when his hands tugged on her foot, dragging her body over the couch toward him. 

His fingers left fiery trails along Erin’s bare legs while he caressed her. The sliding motion had pushed her top up exposing her taut midriff, and when he spread her legs to pull her onto his lap she didn’t resist. Erin leaned in to kiss him and his hands enveloped her with a tight grip. Jayden pulled her in, his large hands spanning her back while he pushed her top further up and then over her head. 

They both made a feral sound when his lips molded to her breast and he began to suckle. She was willing to do whatever it took. Even keep her cool when his next words brought her back to reality. She would never be more than a submissive to him.  

“Do you want to play tonight, my pet? Since tomorrow is Christmas, shall we start early?” 
What could she do? “Aye, Master. This girl would love to see how you put a scene together here in her home.” Catherine would play, but on Erin’s turf. 

Her squeals when he stood up and carried her down the hall to her room were swallowed by his mouth descending on hers just before he set her down. “I’m going to have a look around your apartment to see what I can use, if that’s okay?” 

She nodded. 

“I want you naked and kneeling when I return, Jewel.”

My body stiffened at the words, and he pulled away so he could spin me in his arms.

“Lorraine, what’s going on? You looked like you’d seen a ghost when we found those cigarettes. Is there something you’re not telling me?”

A deep sigh escaped me. “Funny you should say that, because, um, I think I have—seen a ghost that is.” 

The moment the words were out, I clenched my eyes shut not wanting to see the look I knew he had to be giving me. The one that would say Rick thought I’d lost my mind. When he didn’t say anything or make any move to pull away, I risked peeking out from one eye. He was giving me a look all right, but not the way I’d expected. This was the look that had resulted in three children. I opened the other eye. 

“Are you going to call me crazy?” My whisper was thick and heavy like the steam that surrounded us.

Rick shook his head in the negative, and when he leaned in, more than just his lips pressed into me. I soon melted into the embrace, giving in to his long overdue attentions when my body ignited with desire. Fumbling our way out of the shower and into the main room, our clean, wet bodies hit the cold sheets while we kissed in desperation.

A Divine Life
Book 2 of The Divine Trilogy


Cover reveal July 6, Release date of August 6, 2013.
*This excerpt is unedited*

One thing was certain in her mind: she knew that she needed this lifestyle. Deep down she would be restless and unfulfilled if she wasn’t handing control over to a Dom. Catherine had learned to desire the pain and humiliation because it allowed her the freedom of letting go. Giving up control released her mind to allow her body to be used by another.
Another certainty occurred to Catherine. She’d gotten careless in developing feelings for Jayden, her Master. If it was his desire to give her to another, then she must accept that. By giving in to the reality and accepting her fate, she was serving her Master, and in turn, herself. At least Master wasn’t abandoning her, leaving her to flounder for a way to start over . . . again.
When Catherine composed herself enough to look up, she found Paige looking over her shoulder. Turning her head to follow Paige’s gaze she was met with Sir Landon’s confused stare.
Sniffling and wiping her nose with the back of her hand, Catherine settled. “This girl is sorry, Sir. It’s been an emotional day and she forgot her place. She’s now remembered and is ready to move on.”
Sir Landon came forward and lifted her still trembling hand. “Of course, darlin’. Your mind and body have been through a lot today. Quite understandable.”

W.L. Sexton's Raven's Quest Blog Tour


For your reading entertainment today, I present a blog tour stop for Raven's Quest packed with goodies. Read on for blurb, excerpt, and an awesome Rafflecopter giveaway for multiple prizes!


Blurb:
The Quest Series revolves around three women who are worlds apart but connected in more ways than one.  
The first book is Raven’s Quest.

We embark on Raven working as a Marketing Director at Stage Records who gets caught in a love triangle with the new CEO of Stage Records. She starts to fall in love with him as his old flame returns to the picture. With a broken heart Raven runs to Napa Valley to heal her wounds, and see her family.

Fate has other plans; she falls into the arms of an old crush that broke her heart as a teen. The GQ Race Car Driver that she met so many years ago. Raven has always had eyes for Tony Fox. How could she forget how he broke her heart with her best friend?

Now he is mature he sees her in a different light. She is a gorgeous, successful woman that he can’t be without. He will stop at nothing to have her.  


         

Excerpt:

I hit the call button for the elevator. The 18th floor button had CEO on it. The door opened to the foyer of the office, and there were two empty desks for the assistants that he didn’t have yet. The desks were ready and waiting with state-of-the-art computers, and three of the best printers available. I could see that there were two other offices off to the side of the elevator area also. The art was stylish. I had to guess it was very early Italian; just amazing. It was as if I had stepped out of Hollywood and into Rome, Italy. The tile on the floor was a dark marble. The furniture looked Roman Italian. This floor had been closed for over a month to ensure it was ready for him.

I walked through the reception area into the double doors. He was on the phone, and he lifted a finger that told me to wait one minute. I took a seat until he was finished with his call. 
He was speaking Italian. Consequently, it was one of the sweetest sounds. It was so fuckin' sexy. I wondered who he was talking to.

He hung up with an, “Arrivederci. Momma.” Huh, definitely not a new love interest then. He stood up and my eyes were drawn straight to his. His eyes were so beautiful, mesmerizing even, just so intensely blue. I felt as if I were in a trance. I stood as he walked over to me and reached out his hand and said, “Miss Morrison, you ready to go?”

“Mr. Leone, please, call me Raven!” I answered.

“I will call you Raven when you start calling me Val!” He said with a smile.

“Oops! Val, yes, I’m ready.”

“Very well, Raaavvveeennn!” It took him a minute to say Raven as he purposely drew it out. It sounded so sarcastic, yet so fucking sexy.

The black SUV's doors were open, and he held my hand as I hopped in. It was a difficult adventure as I had on a skintight, pencil skirt. I didn’t want to stick my ass in his face. It was not what a sophisticated lady would do; I had to show some decorum. With an ass like mine, I had to try to get in without much of a scene. I have always had a butt – never was able to fit in jeans without taking in the waist. I had back! That is what Michael would tell me. I slowly tried to climb into the large SUV as my ass waved in Val’s face.

After I was settled in, Val came around to the driver's side, and we started to drive away. He leaned over to me and whispered to me, “Are you trying to tempt me, Raven?”

“Tempt you how, Val?” I asked with my eyebrow raised.

“You pushed your tight little ass up in the air. I noticed that ass as soon as you walked in the office this morning; it is the nicest ass I have ever seen!” he whispered.

“Oh, I’m so sorry! My skirt is a bit tight, and I didn’t want to pick it up, and show you all my business!” I said in a low voice. I know I heard him say “pity” under his breath. Oh, my heart spiked again, and I felt a quick rush of butterflies in my tummy. I was on an emotional roller-coaster, with Michael dumping me, and now this new CEO flirting with me. At least, I fucking hoped he was flirting. I needed to keep my emotions in check, but that little voice in my head kept talking to me.

GUEST AUTHOR: Drew Avera


Please help me in welcoming Drew Avera to the blog today to discuss his book 
Dead Planet: Exodus and answer some of my random questions! 

Drew Avera


Synopsis:
For twenty five hundred years the civilization on Mars has been ruled by the Syndicate, an organization run by the top one percent. Every need and desire of the average citizen has been fed by the machine in return for a lifetime of obedience. What happens when the profit margins fall and the people become a burden to the pockets of the Syndicate? What happens when their plans to exile their citizens to a certain death is revealed? This is the story of a man named Serus Blackwell who has a job to do. Serus is a policeman who works for the Agency, but it isn’t what you think. Can he protect his sister, Kara, before the Agency kills her, or will the programming he received from the Agency override his emotions and condemn Kara to the same fate as the rest of the planet?

Excerpt:

         Pain was my only friend in this dark laboratory. This labyrinth of hell has held me captive for the last two months. It wasn’t bad at first, mostly physical exertion to the point of exhaustion. I had endured that kind of training growing up playing sports, but this new part of my training was something else entirely. ‘The human mind can only endure so much torture,’ at least that is what they told me coming into this. I wish I had volunteered, at least then I wouldn’t feel as if I were a prisoner being tortured by my guards.
     “Dr. Roblin, how is Prospect Blackwell holding up?” the man in a black Agency uniform said as he walked through the door. I could not see his face but I had heard his voice before, come to think of it I had heard his voice several times throughout my time here. Wherever ‘here’ is, I’m not sure.
     “He is physically a perfect candidate, Agent Gentry. I must confess that I am concerned with his mental capabilities though,” the doctor talked about me like I was a caged animal, unable to think on my own.
     “What capabilities would that be, Dr?” There was an air of concern in the agent’s voice, though I’m not sure why. I would think that the idea of someone who is willing to put up a fight would be an attribute worthy of a member of the Agency.
     “He is not responding well to the reprogramming. Each time we show him a picture of you he becomes discontent, almost as if he is remembering what you did to his father,” Dr. Roblin said. Just the mention of my father brought me back to remembering what had happened. I can only see it in short spans of time, my father dead in the street, Kara crying in my arms, flashing lights surrounding the scene, and finally his face, the man who murdered my father.

There is currently a Goodreads giveaway open to US residents running through June 15, 2013 for Dead Planet.

Also, Mr. Avera will be celebrating Father's Day by offering Dead Planet at no cost on Amazon.


Random Questions:

1. Do you wear boxers or briefs? Boxer briefs, the best of both worlds.

2. What's your bad quality? Easily irritable, or compulsive, or just a general bad attitude in certain situations where stress is involved...or an inability to define that single bad trait.

3. Why isn't the number 11 pronounced as onety one? Because someone dropped the ball on a great opportunity.

4. What kind of music do you like? I like hard rock, it has an edge without being obnoxious. It seems like metalmusic nowadays is about how low they can play and how badly they can distort their voice into something you can't understand. I grew up with Metallica and Megadeth, so that's what I love. When writing though I pick music like Chevelle or Breaking Benjamin because it suites my mood when writing. Sometimes I listen to soundtrack scores to films. The soundtrack for Titanic is not one of them though.

5. Are you a morning person or a night person? Morning, or until the first stressful thing disrupts my day.

6. What is the craziest thing you've ever done? Joined the Navy, reenlisted in the Navy, am in the Navy, will continue to be in the Navy. It's a crazy life full of ups and downs. I've met some amazing people (my wife, and great lifelong friends), but I've seen some crazy ones too.

7. What is your idea of fun? I like to play guitar with my band. I also like the creative part of writing. I don't enjoy the revision process unless I am struck by a clever idea that I can work into the story. Most of the time it's "dang it, that's not how you spell that!".

8. What kind of kid were you? Naughty or nice? I was the nice kid diagnosed with ADHD. I think it fueled my creativity, along with some other things that stem from my childhood.

Guest Author: Sapphire Kande

Today I'm doing a little fun cross promotion with friend and fellow erotica author Sapphire Kande. She's here to share a little about herself and her book Molly's Sexual Curse. When you're done here, feel free to hop over to her blog HERE for my interview and a chance to win an ebook copy of To Serve is Divine along with an autographed TSiD bookmark! Without further ado, allow me to introduce:

Sapphire Kande

If I gave you an elephant where would you hide it?
Why would I have to hide it? I'd ride it! Elephants are awesome dude! 

What is your favorite color of socks to wear?
I despise socks! I only wear them if I have too... but if I had to, I would wear blue or purple.

What kind of kid were you, naughty or nice?
Oh I was such a bad kid. According to my mother, when she would take me to the playground all of the other children would leave and cry. I guess I was a bully.... ;) 

Which is your favorite time of the day?
11:11 - Don't know why. Maybe for all the fun wishes :D

Are you a morning person or a night person?
Night! I hate waking up early... I could easily stay up all night.

If given a choice, which animal would you want to be? Why?
White Wolf... such a beautiful majestic animal.

What is your favorite daily wear attire?
Sweats and a Tee! Nothin better than just relaxing in my slippers with some lemonade.

Do you know how to drop an egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it?
Super carefully? haha without googling it I would have to say be super close to the floor and maybe have a pillow under it?... but that would defeat the purpose of it wouldn't it? Maybe have it cradled in tissues and hung by a mini parachute made of mini umbrellas...or something super creative? 

Which is your most cherished childhood memory?
I don't remember much about this day but I remember the moment. It was my fifth birthday and I was outside in my playground/backyard and I stuck my head in the hole that my mother had carved into poster board and on the sign it said look at me I'm five. - That's all I remember except my goofy grin.



Awesome answers, Ms. Kande! Can you tell us a little about Molly's Sexual Curse?


Blurb:

A witch's curse placed on Molly, a beautiful and young thing, makes her unable to live if she does not orgasm at least once a day. Literally.

Molly was sold to her new master, Tristan, who evidently falls in love with her at first sight. He takes her away from the life of living as someone's plaything and teaches Molly how to experience love as his woman and as his submissive. Though Tristan may be kind, he has a dark side to him which he brings out occasionally.

This is an epic story of the true love between Master Tristan and submissive Molly. After being rescued from the life of a sex slave, she slowly allows herself to believe in love once more. However, has Molly truly escaped her past? or will it eventually catch up to her? 

About the Author:
During the day I work as a senior portrait photographer and a graphic designer. I'm also a college student who loves zombies, vampires, and werewolves. Anything supernatural I am drawn to along with Starbucks frapes! I spend my free time watching The Vampire Diaries and True Blood.

My favorite genre to write is erotica and it's strongly recommended by my readers to make sure you have your sham wow panties on because my stories will leave you with moisture in the very best of places.

Gregory Thomas has always had an easy life. When it came to his profession, he excelled, gaining himself the position of manager to one of the nation’s biggest wholesale retailers. He was amazing at everything; except when it came to love. The night he found his ex-wife in bed with her gay best friend was the night he decided it wasn’t worth it. He was better off just focusing on his career, and nothing more.

He became content with just being. That is, until Jasmine Velez, his new employee, walked into his store.
Blunt, and honest to a fault, the woman captivates him against his will. Not only is she gorgeous, but she’s the first woman that doesn’t chase him around. Something that makes ignoring her that much harder. The last thing he wants to do is try to have a relationship with a woman again, and he knows that if he allows Jasmine in, that’s exactly what he’s going to go for.

Except, then he’s faced with the possibility of Jasmine being with someone else, and the choice is taken from him. He’s left with only one option: He needs to make her his. But that might prove harder than he originally expected.
How the hell does a man seduce a feisty woman whose gotten tired of waiting for him and is hellbent on not giving into him?

I did the primary edits on Reyes' novella, and I can tell you now that y'all are in for a treat!
