New Release - For His Pleasure - Sexy to Go, Volume 1 #Erotica

My writing partner Eva Lefoy has gotten a group of awesome writers together to undertake a montly writing challenge. We are publishing erotic short stories once a month. I thought this was a good opportunity for me to test the serial waters. Readers either love serials or hate them. If they are well written I don't mind an ongoing story.

The question was could I write one?

As usual I went with the interracial historical wrote. My serial starts with established lovers Daniel and James. Considering the short length I figured it was best to skip the "falling in love" and just start there!

For His Pleasure by Shiloh Saddler

Sexy to Go is now available on Amazon.

Get your copy of Volume 1 and be sure to come back for more quick, sexy reads in February.

Enjoy!

Time Traveling with @HaleyWhitehall - #paranormal #romance and #giveaway

I have Haley Whitehall on my blog today. She has a new release Civil War Valentine. It is a sweet short story with a ghost and time travel element. According to one reviewer the Civil War scene is the best part!



Thanks for having me Shiloh. Civil War Valentine was my first venture into paranormal romance. Of course, I paired it with my favorite time period the Civil War.

I’ve often felt like I was born in the wrong generation. Ever since I first learned about the Civil War in school I had a strong connection to that era. Do you believe in past lives? Some people have read my writing and suggested I had a past life during the Civil War. All I know is I wish I had a time machine so I could go into the past and find my Mr. Right.

I guess that is what inspired me to write “Civil War Valentine.” The heroine Charlie Bristol, a museum curator, is the closest to being me than all the previous characters I have written. Writing her story filled a need for me to give myself a happy ending. Okay. Whew that was kind of deep, wasn’t it?

Valentine’s Day celebrates love, and maybe due to all the sappy Hallmark movies and TV shows it also seems magical to me. Valentine’s Day magic is evident Civil War Valentine.

GIVEAWAY

Comment answering this question and you're entered to win a copy of Civil War Valentine. 

If you had a time travel machine where in the past would you go to find Mr. Right? For recently divorced Charlie Bristol she didn’t have choice, but she was pleased with her destination.

Civil War Valentine
Recently divorced museum curator Charlie Bristol comes to Seattle to set up a display at the Fine Art museum chronicling the history of Valentine’s Day. The director of the museum surprises her with a package of Civil War valentines from an anonymous donor. She reads the heartfelt messages and is touched by his words. Does such powerful love still exist?

During a nap she dreams she’s alive during the Civil War and meets Elliot Lowery, the author of the valentines who mistakes her for his fiancĂ©e Charlotte. She and Elliot negotiate the murky waters of wartime romance. When she wakes she’s still under the dream's spell and Valentine’s Day love is in the air, but Charlotte has no reason to celebrate. The man she loves died 150 years ago. Unless love works some miracle even time and death cannot overcome.

Excerpt:
The stew made her mouth water. This was classic country cooking, nothing like she was used to having in New York City.

There was a knock at the door. Her chest constricted. Who could that be? Another knock. She found herself drawn to the door and slowly opened it as if the stranger might bite her.

A young man with thick black hair and a sexy five o’clock shadow stood there, a single red rose in his hand. He straightened, bringing his boot clad feet together. She worked her gaze up from his feet all the way up his long legs to his broad shoulders and dreamy blue-gray eyes. He was dressed in a Union uniform, the blue wool coat unbuttoned to reveal his white shirt underneath.

My imagination sure knows how to construct a good looking soldier!

The man smiled, showing a row of straight teeth. “Miss Adams,” he said in a deep voice. When she raised her eyebrow at the use of her maiden name, he frowned slightly. “I know I’ve been gone for several months, but I didn’t expect you to forget me.”

#NewRelease - Property of Cupid by @Eva_Lefoy - #GLBT #ValentinesDay Anthology




I can't believe the next holiday will be Valentine's Day! It seemed we just had Christmas a week ago. Or maybe that's because I haven't put away my Christmas decorations yet. My friend Eva Lefoy told me about this GLBT Valentine's Day call for the Love is a Mess anthology but I ran out of time to write a story.


No worries! There are lots of yummy offerings here and Eva even brought an excerpt from her short story Property of Cupid.



Excerpt:

Good lord, he’d never realized soap could be so erotic. He shivered as the man’s hands roamed his slippery body, up and down his torso, down his thighs. When he twirled soapy fingers around his balls he nearly lost it. From his position, he thought the man meant to suck his cock, but he didn’t. He spun him around, pressing his front to the plastic shower wall and knelt behind him. Strong fingers dug into his ass and pulled his cheeks apart. Then a face slipped between them, a tongue making a wet landing on his tight hole.

“Oh my God…” However many times he’d imagined this happening to him, his fantasy had fallen far short. The soft firmness of the touch stole what little control he had. The tongue delved into his ass, licking and caressing and all he could do was quiver in response. With his cock pressed tight against the shower stall, he clawed at the wall and whimpered. “Oh. Oh. God. Oh…”

The man stopped licking, pressing a finger to his entrance instead. “You like that? Like what I’m doing to you?”

“Y-yeah. God. Just…” He clawed at the wall some more, his breath stuttering as the digit pressed past his ring. Somehow the man had brought lube to ease his way.

“If I touch you here, is it good? Hmm?” He curled his finger, hitting Jeremy’s prostate, then stood, pressing his chest into Jeremy’s back. Hot breath and teeth grazed his left shoulder.

“Yes. Yesss.” He gritted his teeth, and his breath hissed through them.

“Have you ever had anything there to make you come? Ever put a toy in there, Jeremy?”

“N-no. I never…” He whimpered as the man pushed a second finger inside and worked the spot harder.

“Never?”

All the sudden the heat between their bodies blazed, making the water seem cold. The man ground into him with fervor, his erection iron-hard as he rutted against his thigh and left ass cheek. “Oh God. That’s… Fuck, you’re so fucking hot.”

He bit his lips, trying desperately to hold back a scream. The way his legs were shaking, he couldn’t restrain himself much longer.

“I’m going to fuck your virgin ass all night, Jeremy. But first, I want to hear you come for me.”

He slid a third finger inside and curled all three of them. The pressure was instantly incredible. His cocked leaked desperately while his jaw dropped and he sucked breath against the plastic.

“Come for me. I don’t care if the neighbors hear. Just let it out. Now.”

The hoarse command in his ear pooled moisture between his legs, super-heating his balls. Unable to take the delicious torture one second longer, the release burst from his shaft in a torrent, from his lips in a single scream. He’d never imagined being handled so expertly. Part of his heart seized, wishing all his former love interests had possessed the skills to rip his control to shreds. This man seemed to press every one of his buttons with utmost accuracy. “Oh Gooooooddddd!” The word rattled out as his knees gave way. Held in place by the strong arms of his mystery lover, there was only one thing he wanted now.

A name to go with this perfection.



Blurb - Property of Cupid:


The night before Valentine's Day, Greek god Eros must find a virginal sacrifice to calm his inner demon before he turns into the happy-go-lucky, arrow wielding cherub, Cupid. When he finds the perfect victim alone in the gay bar, the raw sensuality between them sizzles and Eros wants more. Unfortunately he's got to play Roman god Cupid for the next twenty-four hours and to his horror there's an arrow in the quiver with Jeremy's name on it.

Jeremy goes home with the feather-clad stranger and is relieved to finally lose his v-card. But the next morning he gets the shock of his life. The tables are turned and he's no longer the desperate lonely bottom, but the sexy hottie every top wants. While shaking his bootie for a free coffee, he hears a blood curdling scream...

Will an ancient Greek god give up half his powers to love a mere human? Or will Cupid loose his golden arrow, letting Jeremy fall in love with another man?

About the Publisher
Supposed Crimes, LLC publishes fiction and poetry primarily featuring lesbian characters and themes. The focus is on genre fiction–Westerns, Science Fiction, Horror, Action–rather than just romance. That’s how we set ourselves apart from our competitors. Our characters happen to love women and kick ass.

“Supposed crimes” refers to the idea that homosexuality is outlawed, and that our authors are being subversive by writing. As times change this becomes more tongue-in-cheek, but can still apply broadly to our culture. Christians writing lesbians and men writing lesbians are also subversive ideas in this industry, and we promote people bending the rules.

About the Authors

A. M. Leibowitz is a spouse, parent, feminist, and book-lover falling somewhere on the Geek-Nerd Spectrum. She keeps warm through the long, cold western New York winters by writing romantic plot twists and happy-for-now endings. In between noveling and editing, she blogs coffee-fueled, quirky commentary on faith, culture, writing, and her family at amleibowitz.com.

Adrian J. Smith, aka AJ, loves to write women, and specifically women who are strong, independent and fall in love with other women. She claims bisexuality but is probably closer to omnisexual. She's a go with the flow type of person. She loves writing urban fantasy and creatures and powers of all different kinds. She also loves writing women in uniform, because let's face it, a woman in uniform has an irresistible draw. Most of her stories have a romantic element, but if you want action, drama, plot with a hint of romance, she's the author for you. Find her at adrianjsmith.wordpress.com.

Amber Kinsey is a part-time federal employee, full-time geek, and occasional writer. She lives in a suburb of Nashville, TN with her three cats: one is the light of her life; the other two are just little stinkers.

Eva Lefoy writes and reads all kinds of romance, and is a certified Trekkie. She’s also terribly addicted to chocolate, tea, and hiking. One of these days, she’ll figure out the meaning of life, quit her job, and go travel the galaxy. Until then, she’s writing down all her dirty thoughts for the sake of future explorers. You can find her blog at writery.wordpress.com.

Geonn Cannon is the author of On the Air, Gemini, World on Fire, The Following Sea, Tilting at Windmills, Only Flame and Air, Confused by Shadows, Chasing Dragons, What Matter Wounds?, Silence Out Loud, the Riley Parra series, Railroad Spine, Gunfire Echoes, the Underdogs series, Girls Don't Hit, and The Rise and Fall of Radiation Canary. He also wrote an official tie-in novel for Stargate SG-1 titled "Two Roads" and contributed a Stargate Atlantis story to the "Far Horizons" anthology. An archive of free stories can be found at geonncannon.com. When he's not writing, he's asleep.

L. M. Perrin is an English major who writes fiction to break up the monotony of analyzing novels. She lives in Leelanau County, also known as Michigan’s pinky finger, with her dog and the occasional stray cat, and in her opinion there is nothing wrong with spending a night binging on Netflix and pizza. This is her first published piece.

Michael DuPuy, while not investigating epistemological dead ends, cultivates a greater understanding of the folly of man most often by recreating as many of such folly's as possible through no intent of his own. Michael turned to writing as a method of perhaps extending his sanity and to justify his coffee consumption. If anything this tactic has backfired.

Rachael Orman: Mother by day. Writer by night. I spend a majority of my day with my children and reading while my nights are filled with the sound of the keyboard as I work on my next work.

I have written in F/F, F/F/M, F/F/F and then of course F/M genres.... So, beware, I do not always have the most 'traditional' scenes. And one day I will venture into M/M, just have to find the time.

I love to try new things and learn from every piece of work I write. I'll write just about anything once to learn from it. I've even ventured out of my normal erotica genre into Monster Erotica. Doubt you'll find me writing anything not erotic as you can barely get me to even read something out of that category, but then again, you never know what I might try next.

#Android #Romance - Short Circuit Time by Diane Saxon and #Review

Short_Circuit_Time-Diane_Saxon-500x800


Blurb:


In the year 2086, Zaphira is alone, the last survivor of biological warfare on Earth. Before he died, her scientist father promised other survivors would come. Nobody has. So when a horribly mangled android shows up claiming to be her father’s assistant, Aiden, who has been sent through time to rescue her, she’s both frightened and astounded.


The last time she’d seen Aiden, she’d been sixteen, head-over-heels in love with him and had literally thrown herself at him, leaving her devastated by his rejection and him running for the hills. The following day, she’d been told of his death.


Eight years later he’s miraculously back, this time asking for her help. Without it, he won’t survive. But can she really put a dead man back together with tweezers?


For Aiden, everything has changed. There are no other humans, no government, and time travel has left his new android body unexpectedly weak and suffering from inexplicable genetic changes in eye and hair color, brought about by his molecular shake-up. Unbelievably, the scientist who sent him is dead, and he must rely on the scientist’s daughter to help him. A woman who he’s not so sure has his best interests at heart.


The last time he’d seen her, Zaphira had been a sixteen year old with a dangerous crush on him and he’d been rocked by the turmoil of his own feelings. Now she’s twenty four and literally holds his survival in her hands. Too bad everything he does and says seems to annoy her.


Trusting her might be his undoing. But he is left with no choice.


For Zaphira, getting used to the transformation of old Aiden to android Aiden requires a large mental leap. But when android Aiden starts to rebuild his human form to a new and improved standard, things start to get tricky.


The Aiden she loved as a little girl was her father’s nerdy assistant. The new Aiden is hot. But are her feelings as strong eight years later or are they simply a cherished memory?






Excerpt


Prologue


She narrowed her eyes and squinted at the skinny geek stumbling backward out of the passenger seat of her father’s car. She’d waited all day for the rumble of the engine of her daddy’s convertible. The old car had a distinct stutter and a sly rev she fantasized was because it had a mind of its own.


She smiled awkwardly, her mouth pulled tight across her braces and she pressed her fingers over her top lip to stop it from catching on the edge, rolling and making her look like a feral cat. Her face ached. They’d tightened the braces again and it hurt so much more this time. The smile dropped from her lips only to ping back up again as the geek caught his shoe on some piece of equipment in the foot well of her daddy’s car. He flipped backward, his gangly arms pin wheeling until he landed on his ass on the floor, minus his shoe.


He whipped his head up and she stepped back from the window hoping he hadn’t heard her girlish giggles. He wouldn’t be impressed. He was so much older and more mature.


Not many would believe he was twelve years her senior. Not with his thick russet hair falling in a boyish flop over his forehead, his fine gold-rimmed glasses perched right on the end of his nose.


Her heart fluttered in her chest as she chanced another peek.


His arms full of equipment, flushed to his hairline, he staggered toward the front door of her home. Adrenaline pumped hot through her veins. She took a few skips toward the hallway, ran back to the window to see her father’s car pulling away from the curbside. Her mother was out. She was the only one there to open the door. She darted back, hesitated, her pulse thrumming in the base of her throat.


A dull thud shuddered the door in its frame and she shot forward, wrenched it open before he did any further damage. His shoulder slid across the oak panel and he shot sideways through the entrance, his skinny limbs racing to keep up with the speed of his body, but to no avail. His foot skidded and down he went. The clatter of laboratory equipment skidding across the wooden floor filled her ears as did his quiet Irish curse.


“Bollocks.”


Stifling another snigger, she crouched to help, casting furtive little glances at him as he came to his knees, straightened his waistcoat and touched his fingers to his bow tie, ensuring it was still there.


“Hi Aiden.”


His deep frown almost made her stutter, but she knew he couldn’t sustain his annoyance. His small nervous cough made her smile.


“Hey.” The sound of his soft, smooth voice made her light-headed and she stopped what she was doing to gaze deep into his eyes.


He pushed his glasses further up his nose and glared at her. Unperturbed, she met his beautiful gaze with a lovesick one of her own.


“Do you need a hand down to the lab?” He dropped his gaze to her mouth. Her speech lisped embarrassingly through her clenched together teeth. She hated her braces, couldn’t wait to have them removed.


“No.”


Not wanting him to go yet, she piled another few items on top of the ones already in his arms and resisted the urge to stroke her fingers along the sleeve of his tweed jacket.


“Can I get you a coffee?”


“Zaphira…” he sighed, “Thank you, but no. I have work your father wants me to complete. I don’t want to be disturbed.”


Her chest ached. Just a little. The same as it always ached when he rejected her offers.


She bent to pick up Paco, her new puppy, snuggled her face into his thick fur and took comfort from his squirming, plump body as she hugged him close and let him lick sweet kisses across her chin.


Aiden paused at the lab door then glanced at her over his shoulder and her heart hitched again. There. It was there, the glint in his eye. The one that told her every time she was about to give up that there was a spark of interest. There was hope.

I wasn't asked by Diane to include a review on this guest post, but I wanted to. As a fellow author I know how wonderful it is to get a good review. Honestly, I really enjoyed this book.


My Review:


I must admit I'm not a big sci-fi fan. However, I'm willing to give it a try once in awhile. I really enjoyed reading Short Circuit Time. The technology aspect was written in a way that I could understand, however, I know sci-fi fans will ponder more on the possibilities she presents in this story that takes place on a post-apocalypse earth after a deadly virus wipes out most of the population.


This was a fun, quirky sci-fi romance and a fast read. Zaphira is one of the few remaining humans on earth in 2086 when the man she loved when she was sixteen comes back into her life as an android. Love unrequited romance stories? This one has quite the twist! Okay, it has more than one twist.


Needless to say, the two of them take some time to adjust to the changes...and then sparks fly.

#NewRelease To Eternity by Daisy Banks #paranormal #romance



I'd like to congratulate my friend Daisy Banks on her new release To Eternity. She's here to tell us a bit about it. Welcome, Daisy.


A Happy New Year to you and all your readers. Thank you so much for hosting me and helping me celebrate the release of my new book To Eternity, the second book in the Timeless series.


The development of the story from Timeless into this next book To Eternity challenged me as a writer in so many ways, but I loved the characters and they helped me through.


I hope those of you who enjoyed meeting Magnus and Sian in Timeless will enjoy this next step in their story. I hope those of you meeting them for the first time in To Eternity will want to find out about their past in Timeless.


I am presently in the process of writing Out of Time, Book Three in the series and hope to have it completed this year.
To Eternity-wild beneath the moon- Book Two in the Timeless Series.
To Eternity
Blurb
For four centuries Magnus has lived according to the dictates of the moon, his heart isolated by the domination of his wolf nature. Now fate has brought the beautiful, independent Sian to his house at Darnwell and their irresistible attraction has exploded into a white-hot passion. Yet she is not wolf, and the time has come for her to embrace the change. But once she completes the ritual and claims her place next to Magnus, the rivals will appear on the horizon…
Excerpt


Thank God. No claws.


Magnus examined his hand, a man’s hand, before he clasped Sian’s offered palm and met the massive dark pupils in her gaze as she set the padlock down. Naked, grimed by the process of transformation, he used her help to haul himself up from the floor.


She slipped the silver necklace with the key to his chains inside her shirt.


He grimaced as he wiped the scraps of crusty dust left after his transformation from his arms. October’s full moon had proved nothing like the last. This time there was no delightful shared dream.


Instead, Sian had met more of the wolf he carried within him.


Heaven help him, tonight she bore an injury to attest an encounter he couldn’t recall.


God.


He gritted his teeth. His gaze fixed on her. “What happened?” He nodded to her bandaged arm dreading her answer. “How did you get hurt?”


“Here, Magnus.” Sian draped a warm robe around his shoulders. “I’m fine.” She glanced to her arm. “This, it’s not more than a scratch.”


He staggered away from the cage, where the beast spent his days, leaning on her for support. “I scratched you?” he managed to ask, begging for confirmation of his fears.


“It was my fault. I got too close to the bars. We’ll get you to the bathroom, then I’ll go make us something to eat.”


He dragged one slow step after another. Sian slipped her arm around his waist, and with her help, he made it along the corridor to the bathroom. She opened the faucet on the bath while he drank two glasses of water. All the time, he kept his gaze on her.


“You bathe, I’ll go cook. Please, Magnus, don’t worry.” She smiled. “We’ve survived this month’s full moon.”


He ached to kiss her, but not like this, not with the grime of transformation ingrained on his skin. She deserved better. Sian—his goddess, the woman he’d die to protect—deserved the best he could give her. “We’ll talk after I bathe.”


She nodded so her thick brandy-colored curls moved to lure his fingers. “Yes. Don’t be troubled.”


Reaching out, he touched the bandage on her forearm. She winced.


“Impossible,” he whispered. “I adore you, but I’ve hurt you.”


“It’s not what you fear. I remain mortal.”


“That’s how I want you to be. How you should be.”


“Hmm.” She turned off the taps. “We have to make a decision, Magnus. I’d like us to decide soon. I can’t bear this. Everything would be solved if…”


“I know. After I bathe, you can tell me what happened while we eat.”


Sian placed a kiss on the end of her finger and pressed it to his lips before she left. His heart ached for her hopes, for her confidence that she could make all well. He dropped the grubby robe, climbed into the tub, and closed his eyes. This full moon had pushed the usual boundaries. The additional power of Samhain seemed to have supercharged his appetite, but there was more than he’d anticipated. Though often he returned from transformation confused, his body still attuned to the senses of the wolf, this evening every muscle clenched tight, filled with lactic acid, as though he’d been rigid since Friday night when the full moon shifted his consciousness. Somehow, in his transformed state as the wolf, he’d spent hours fighting to keep himself still. The reason for such strange behavior in the beast eluded him.


He tilted his head back into the water, so the warmth might ease his corded neck muscles. The sensation of heat welcome, he sank lower in the tub until the water covered his hair. He hoped this would soothe his skin and his pain, but until he spoke with her about what had happened, nothing would pacify his fears. Annoyance that he couldn’t recall the acts of the beast swept through him. There had been times like this before. Even when he’d killed, a savage act any creature should remember, he could recollect nothing beyond the satisfaction of blood. But, if he’d harmed Sian, the wolf would have howled its sorrow until the walls echoed his repentance.


If only there were a way to force himself to remember. Truly, he was cursed.

Barbershops and #Historical #MMromance

I'm on Diane Saxon's blog today talking about barbershops and a bit of history I incorporated into Role Reversal (His Dark Master, Book 1). I try for historical accuracy in my romances. Even after the Civil War most jobs were closed to African Americans. However, there was still a chance for them to be successful...if they got lucky.

You can read my post here: http://dianesaxon.blogspot.com/2015/01/role-reversal-his-dakr-master-1-shiloh.html

Did you know a haircut and a shave could be an erotic experience? It is when Andrew is the barber!
