Author Interview - Lucy Felthouse - Erotic Author/editor


The eBook Winner is:
greenduckie13

Congratulations!!

Thank you for visiting today. I’m excited to introduce you to erotic author/editor Lucy Felthouse who has put together sixteen stories from fourteen authors. Grab your favorite beverage and get comfy so you can enjoy the interview direct from the UK!

Tonya: Some of us have things we do to get into the writing frame of mind like music, or drinks. Do you have anything special you do to get into the writing mood?

Lucy: Not really, I just sit down and get going. I actually find music distracting when I'm writing fiction; I have to work in quiet.

Tonya: Do you like pushing the envelope when writing?

Lucy: I guess so. Up until recently, I've stuck mainly with contemporary M/F stories, but increasingly I'm finding myself trying to do something different. So far I've penned a couple of lesbian stories, some paranormal stuff, and a historical idea even popped into my head a few days ago. I want to stretch myself more as a writer so I'll definitely be exploring more of this stuff!

Tonya: Do you have a card file where you keep story ideas? Where do they come from?

Lucy: I have a notebook where I have lots of story ideas, sentences, situations, character names and more. They come from all over the place. Some of them just arrive randomly in my head, others are inspired by people or situations, or even books, films and TV shows. I don't mind where they come from; I just make sure I write them down for future reference!

Tonya: It’s interesting all the ways writes have of archiving their story ideas, character names and beginning titles. Tell us about a day in your life as a writer.

Lucy: I'm not a full-time writer. I recently left a full-time job and went freelance. Part of the time I'm doing PR, Marketing and Web Design, and the rest of the time I'm writing. I don't have a strict schedule though, I just do what I want and when. If I have a writing deadline, that comes first. If I have a client wanting their website completed, I work on that first. It's pretty fluid and so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm getting the freedom to do what I want and I've never been more productive!

Tonya: Are you a daytime writer, night time writer, and do you have to be alone to write?

Lucy: I can write any time, really. If I ever just feel like writing, I tend to run with it as I get lots done. Other times I have to make myself get started. But it doesn't matter when. As long as I'm not exhausted, I can usually get some words down. I don’t force myself if I really don't feel like it, because it ends up coming out as utter rubbish! And yes, I do have to be alone. Not in the house, of course, but certainly the room.

Tonya: Do you intentionally give your characters flaws so the reader might relate to them better?

Lucy:  Not really. My characters tend to develop as I'm writing them. I don’t often create a fully formed character in my head then insert them into a story. I find out more about them as I'm writing!

Tonya: That’s what is fun – watching our characters evolve as we write and how they change our stories! Do you write about things that may teach your reader new ‘ideas’ they might use at home?

Lucy: I guess so. It depends how adventurous they are! I'm sure there's stuff readers can teach me, too!

Tonya: Where can our readers find you and your books?

Lucy: My website. Check out http://lucyfelthouse.co.uk, which is also my blog. On there you'll find info about me, and pages for all the books I've had stories in or published. There are also links to purchase the books, too. I also run another website, Erotica For All, which is a place for readers and writers of erotica to connect. Check that out at http://eroticaforall.co.uk.

Tonya: Erotica for All is a fabulous site for readers to see the author’s works. Is there anything else you want to tell our readers?

Lucy: I recently edited my first anthology, Uniform Behaviour. It contains sixteen stories from fourteen authors about men and women in uniform. It was a very exciting project and one that's receiving fab reviews. Another great thing is the fact that a percentage of the proceeds from the book are being donated to UK charity Help for Heroes, which helps injured returning servicemen and women. So if you're after a red hot read which is also doing good – grab a copy today! It's available from all good eBook retailers.

Tonya: What a great idea! Readers, what better way to lend a hand in helping injured servicemen and women and receive several hot reads in the deal! Can we help put Uniform Behaviour in the top 25! Let’s at least give it a try! Hop over and download your copy now! Here’s the website where you also have to watch the book trailer! There’s a contest further down the page – be sure to read the requirements before heading to Lucy’s website

Cover Blurb:


Do you get all weak-kneed at the sight of a grubby fireman or a hunky soldier? Perhaps immaculately-dressed waiting-on staff get you feeling frisky? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

Uniform Behaviour contains sixteen smutty stories about firemen, soldiers, sailors, police, security guards and even waiters, priests and cleaners!

Delve into this anthology and enjoy steamy stories from established erotica authors including Justine Elyot, Craig J Sorensen, Victoria Blisse, Shermaine Williams, Elizabeth Coldwell and Lucy Felthouse. Uniform Behaviour also proudly introduces some exciting debut authors. So remember, you saw them here first!

As well as being written and compiled for your titillation, this anthology is also designed to do good. A portion of the proceeds from Uniform Behaviour will be donated to UK charity Help for Heroes, which helps those wounded in current conflict.

The stories in this anthology have been hand-picked by a uniform aficionado, so you can rest assured that only the sexiest erotic fiction lies in this eBook.



CONTEST:  Leave a comment below to be entered in the drawing. One winner will receive the ebook of Uniform Behaviour! Drawing will be done on FRIDAY March 4th! Good luck!

Have fun visiting sites and watching the trailer. Do you have a question or comment for Lucy?

Pre-quel is nearly finished!



Glad you stopped in to find out when my prequel will be out! Tonya is working hard to put the finishing touches on the manuscript so that it's a smooth read for you. Tonya will post the release date right here for you so don't miss it!

Be sure to download your copy so you can get to know Nick and I a little better. He is such a wonderful man...he stole my heart the first day I saw him but I couldn't let him know that nor how eager I was to learn more about him. but he loves the chase so it wasn't all bad. He's not an open book; I had to really work to get him talking about what he likes, what he wants and ....what he does other than work!

I can't spill too much here or Tonya will erase me but...you won't be disappointed in the read nor in the future episodes of The Boss's Pet!




Look deep into those eyes, ladies. Is that what draws you to a man or is it his jaw line or the way he looks back at you. Perhaps it's his confidence or the way he just grabs you for a warm hug and kiss?

Prelease Party and Interview with Casey Sheridan!



April 1st - Release for Ruby Red Metallic



 
Blurb for Ruby Red Metallic

      Alaina knows her cars and she doesn't view what she does for a living as stealing. Using all the physical attributes she has at her disposal, she merely acquires the high-end vehicles for a business partner.
      Although the beautiful cars turn her on, she has her heart set on a particular gem. When she finds her jewel, Alaina is pleasantly surprised by its handsome owner, Scott.
      Now she's faced with a dilemma. Does she choose the man or the gem?



      Welcome to the party. Wow! I can't believe the people already here.  I love elegant parties and gorgeous gowns! You all look fabulous. As an added treat, we had the ruby red car brought in so be sure to take your turn behind the wheel for pictures. No, I'm sorry, no one can take it for a spin although the ballroom is large enough to do that!  Alaina says no way. Only she gets to drive that gem. Join the crowd, the bar is there in the corner and let's toast to Casey's newest release!
     Is that cover beautiful or what? Casey, I absolutely love it! You have to be so excited for April 1st to arrive; I know I would be. This party will gather a few pre-release orders for you and please put me on the list!

     *tapping the bottom of my champagne flute, all turn to listen*

      Thank you all for joining us. Casey, our beautiful guest of honor, is excited to get to talk with each of you after the interview so be sure to have your questions ready at the end. There will be more champagne for all served by our too-sexy waiters! 
     Casey, Thanks so much for being here with us this week. I'm excited to be a part of this with you. Some of us have things we do to get into the writing frame of mind like music, or drinks. Do you have anything special you do to get into the writing mood?

Casey:  I envy authors who can write while listening to music.  I find music distracts me.  I will usually play a game of Solitaire on my computer before I start writing.  It helps clear my head. It’s also essential for me to have a very cold beverage nearby.

Tonya:  Do you have a card file where you keep story ideas? How do you catalog them? Where do they come from?

Casey:  Story ideas can come from anywhere really.  They just seem to pop into by head.  Other times they’re suggested to me. For example, with my upcoming release, Ruby Red Metallic, my sexy friend, Moose Hannigan, suggested the basic idea.
      I do have and keep ideas written down in a notebook.  I try to write down as much information that pops into my head and I add to it as the idea unfolds.

Tonya:  Did you bring one of your characters with you today?

Casey:  Yes, I did. I brought Alaina, from my upcoming release, Ruby Red Metallic.  She is a beautiful, resourceful woman who has a fetish for expensive, high-end cars.  She usually knows more about the vehicles than the people who own them. I think she's caught the attention of one of our waiters over by the car!

Tonya:  Lucky lady she is. We'll catch up with her shortly. Tell us about a day in your life as a writer.

Casey:  It’s actually quite boring.  During the week I’m at my day job dungeon, so I don’t get the opportunity to write until I’m home later in the evening.  Weekends are a better chance for me to get more writing done, but even then, I have the usual responsibilities of housework, laundry, groceries, etc. I’m trying to convince Moose to clean my place wearing only his skivvies, but he insists on wearing clothes.

Tonya:  He should agree to wear his skivvies and help you out with your writing ideas. Come on Moose! Casey, are you a daytime writer, nighttime writer, and do you have to be alone to write?

Casey:  Yes, I have to be alone to write and I do most of my writing at night.                         
Tonya:  When and why did you begin writing?

Casey:  Writing came naturally to me.  I’ve been writing since I was in second or third grade; mostly just keeping a journal.  When I was about thirteen, I used to write very short stories for my English teacher.  I guess now you would call it Flash Fiction. Anyway, on Monday he would give us a list of twenty words that we had to look up and write out the definitions as well as use each word correctly in a sentence.  I would make up a very short story using all of the words given to us.  It was challenging and a lot of fun.  That’s also around the same time I wrote my first “book”.  It was a story about a witch and a princess. 

Tonya:  You have several short stories out there now. What are some of your other current projects?

Casey:  My erotic novelette, Ruby Red Metallic, comes out April 1st with Breathless Press.  Right now, I’m working on an erotic novella tentatively titled Number 69.  It’s about a woman discovering her sexuality and how fun it can be.

Tonya:  Where can our readers find you and your books?

Casey:  I love visitors so please stop by! You can visit my website or my blog and my first book, Scarlett’s Wolf, can be found at Cobblestone Press and, like I mentioned before, Ruby Red Metallic will be available in April at Breathless Press. I have short erotic stories up as free reads on various websites and links to those can be found on either my website or blog.

Tonya:  That's a lot of places for our guests to visit so they can become familiar with your work. Is there anything else you want to tell our readers?

Casey:  Tonya, thank you so much for having the fabulous party for me, I'm honored to be here. Thank you, guests, for joining us! Authors love getting comments and feedback from readers, I’m certainly no different.  I love hearing from readers, so please feel free to send me emails to let me know what you thought of a particular story.  I also encourage readers to leave comments on my blog. 

Tonya:  Thank you all for being here and please refill your glasses and enjoy the strawberries and chocolate...and the waiters! *wink* Casey will be around for your questions all week!
      Let the celebration begin! Cheers Casey!!

Author Interview - Elizabeth Kolodziej - Paranormal Romance Author




Happy Valentine's Day romance lovers!

Thank you for joining us in my cozy studio where I do my interviews. Today we have paranormal romance author, Elizabeth Kolodziej who is promoting her first novel while also working on her next. Join me in welcoming her on such a special day! Please grab your coffee or favorite drink and get comfy here by the fire with us and be sure to think of some good questions for her.

Tonya:  Elizabeth, thank you so much for taking time to be here all week! Our readers, I'm sure, will have several questions for you. I'll start us off with a few questions and the viewers can take over when we're through here. Are you a daytime writer, night time writer, and do you have to be alone to write?

Elizabeth:  Tonya, thanks so much. I feel honored to have this whole week, being Valentine's Day to top it off! You know I am funny, that for me changes week to week. I have had some days where I’ll bust out 3,000 words before lunch and other where I am up til 1AM, but on the norm I have to be alone. 

Tonya:  Some of us have things we do to get into the writing frame of mind like music, or drinks. Do you have anything special you do to get into the writing mood?

Elizabeth:  What puts me in the mood for writing is a glass of wine. For some reason that just really opens my mind up. Yeah, ‘for some reason’… let’s go with that.

Tonya:  Tell us about a day in your life as a writer.

Elizabeth:  Depends on the day! Sometimes it’s: office manager, promoting, marketing, writing, reading, walk dog, roller derby, shower, sleep. But on rare, like unicorn rare, days for me it goes like this: write. Those days are my favorites.  

Tonya:  Did you bring one of your characters with you today?

Elizabeth:  My characters tend to come with me everywhere I go. Today I am feeling a little bit of Zou Tai over my shoulder. I think because he wants me to finish my sequel so bad. Right now I have him in one tight situation.  

Tonya:  Do you have a card file where you keep story ideas? Where do they come from?

Elizabeth:  Nope, no card files. I like to make bubble graphs. I color coordinate them too. I am a big organizational freak like that. What I am hoping to start using is this new writing program called Scrivener; a friend of mine turned me on to it. When it comes to my ideas and where those come from, they seriously just pop into my head. Sometimes at very inopportune times, which can get a little crazy. Or they do it when I am working on a current story and I’m just like: ‘BLAH! No go away until I’m done with this one!’

Tonya:  Do you intentionally give your characters flaws so the reader might relate to them better?

Elizabeth:  Not in the least. I write my characters by what they tell me about themselves. If they are a little stubborn then I must tell people that *ahem...cough*... have Faith *cough*. 

Tonya:  Your book includes witches and spells, vampires and werewolves. Have you researched a lot on these topics.

Elizabeth:  I have done a lot of research because I have a deep interest in those topics and wanted to include them in the stories I write.  

Tonya:  Where can our readers find you and your books?

Elizabeth: You can come and find everything you need at www.vampyrekisses.com   It has the links on where to buy my book and so much more fun stuff! To read a blurb of the book, click HERE

Tonya:  As I clicked through your site, I was quite impressed and then I found the book trailer for Vampyre Kisses!

Elizabeth:  Thank you so much! Viewers can find the book trailer and an excerpt by clicking HERE. They also find many more links and information!

Tonya:  Is there anything else you want to tell our readers?

Elizabeth:  I am currently working on the sequel to Vampyre Kisses. Just one chapter shy. After the editing is done, I am hoping to have it out there for everyone to pick up, too! 

I almost forgot about my CONTEST - Hop over to my site, scroll to the bottom and fill out the entry form. It ends on Feb 16th so hurry over!

Tonya:  Again, thank you so much for being here all week, Elizabeth. Good luck with the sequel. Readers, here's your chance to ask your questions. Please leave them as a comment below and Elizabeth with get back to you...and thank YOU so much for reading our interview and your interest in the books!

Author Interview - Miranda Baker - Erotic Romance Author


 The Winner is: Susan!!

Pls Contact Miranda for your ebook!

Today’s guest author will make you laugh as well as make you curious to read one of her books but I’m sure you’ll end up reading them all. Miranda Baker is wife, mother, writer, friend.....and fantasy creater! I like that! That’s why we write, to create those fantasies we all want to happen! Grab your favorite drink and let’s get on with the chatter...

Tonya: Miranda, thank you so much for being here this week. I’m sure you’ll get lots of readers stopping by. Some of us have things we do to get into the writing frame of mind like music, or drinks. Do you have anything special you do to get into the writing mood?


Miranda: Tonya, I’m looking forward to talking with our visitors this week. A cup of coffee helps get the ideas jumping. Each story has a soundtrack too, so I’ll listen to music until I get into the right headspace. Then I turn it off...too distracting.

Tonya: Do you like pushing the envelope to the brink when writing?


Miranda: My stories are character-driven so I don’t push – they do. And shove. Sometimes they poke, kick and tickle too. Destiny and Johnny definitely pushed each other in Bottoms Up. It’s a BDSM love story and they are both sexual Dominants – somebody had to give!

Tonya: Great characters are so fun to work with...did you bring one of your characters with you today?

Miranda: No, thank God. I just turned in edits on SoloPlay, Book Two in the Come Again series and I can’t start revising Book Three until I finish a few other projects. Oh, hell, I guess that’s not true. Crystal is always in the back of my mind these days. She’s next. She’s a professional psychic who works at a sex shop – imagine what that could do to your head!

Tonya: It sounds like you have some fresh ideas! Do you have a card file where you keep story ideas? Where do they come from?

Miranda: I have computer files with characters’ names on them. When I get ideas, I open the file and start typing. That way, when it’s time to write the story I don’t have to start with a blank page! If a good character walks into my head, they usually get their own book sooner or later. For example, Matt is the third in the ménage in Bottoms Up, and I can’t wait to write his book. He’s a wild card.

Tonya: Tell us about a day in your life as a writer because it certainly doesn’t sound boring.

Miranda: During the week I have to get all the kids to school before I can work for two hours. My husband is a prince so I can work as much as I want when he’s home. On weekends, he makes me coffee and brings my meals to the computer, but I try not to work all the time. My kids are little and I don’t want to miss out on the family fun.

Tonya: I’m sure many would like to steal a man who brings his wife meals at the computer! Are you a daytime writer, night time writer, and do you have to be alone to write?

Miranda: Now that I have all these stories in the head, I’m very self-motivated. And, um, a little obsessive. Just give me a keyboard and my iPod and I’m all set.

Tonya: Do you intentionally give your characters flaws so the reader might relate to them better?

Miranda: Well, we’ve all got issues! Do you mean physical flaws? I’d have to say no to that – because I write erotic romance I want each character to be incredibly physically attractive. In another kind of story, I would consider giving my hero/ine a charming defect but only because I like to keep it real. I’m certainly not perfect, and I think it’s our quirks that make us interesting.

Tonya: Do you write about things that may teach your reader new ‘ideas’ they might use at home?

Miranda: *snortle* I began writing erotic romance to give my own sex life a little goose so I certainly hope my readers are similarly inspired. However, Bottoms Up explores a few deviant sexual practices. Now you’ve got me worried! I’m counting on my readers to know where to draw the line between fantasy and reality…

Tonya: Where can our readers find you and your books?

Miranda: Bottoms Up is available from Samhain Publishing, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Books on Board. SoloPlay is the second story in the Come Again series, and it will be released in April! Yay! Alisa Mane is a frustrated librarian who pushes every envelope she can find – a girl, a boy and a whole lot of toys. Count on an emotional and sexual journey with her in SoloPlay.

Tonya: We'd love an excerpt if you have one!

Miranda:  I would love for everyone to read it, thank you:

Excerpt from Bottoms Up:

      “Do you want to play with me? Because I think you do.'
      His arrogance should have been irritating, but she couldn’t take offense at the truth. She did want him—just not the way he thought.
       Maybe.
      Thinking about that, Destiny knocked back the shot and licked her lips. “I don’t know anything about you.”
      “Don’t let that stop you.” He set the glass and the towel on the bar and faced her squarely. “You didn’t answer my question. Do you like to be watched?”
      Curiosity overtook caution and she found herself answering him. “Yes, I’m an exhibitionist. But I’ve never bottomed, and I don’t think I’d want an audience the first time.”
      “Agreed. Hard limits?” He moved swiftly to negotiation. Her limits, his desires, their needs—a verbal contract between two interested parties that would bind their play in the rules of the BDSM world.
      Destiny sipped the beer chaser Johnny provided. He didn’t rush her, which was good, because frankly, she’d never seriously considered putting herself on the other side of the power dynamic. Bottoms held the power, truly, but it wasn’t supposed to feel like it. Part of the play was feeling powerless, and her Dominant nature utterly rejected that concept. She wasn’t sure how much submission she could handle. Where should she draw the lines? What boundaries would permit her to let him take control?
      She watched him run the bar towel over each glass as he waited for her to answer. The thought of putting herself under those rough hands made her tingle. Her nipples peaked. Sexual energy thrilled through her tight muscles. For one night, she could handle just about anything, she decided.
      Destiny looked up from his strong hands to see that he was watching her, not the glass, as he worked.
      “No blood,” she finally answered. “No blindfolds. Always wear a condom. No other women. And not tonight.”
      “That’s it?”
      Destiny nodded.
      “Do you have any questions for me? Anything you need?”
      She nodded again swiftly. There was one thing she wanted to know, but it didn’t have anything to do with her needs. She watched him closely. “Why do you like to Dominate?”
      Johnny frowned. He dropped the towel again and placed his hands flat on the bar. His shoulders formed a tight bridge as he loomed over her. “You’ll agree to submit to me with ridiculously few limitations so long as I tell you why I’m going to enjoy the experience?” His voice was incredulous.
      Uncertainty crept up on her. It wouldn’t be the first time her impulsiveness had gotten her into trouble. Johnny was a big man in more ways than height and breadth, she was sure. She thought of those hands, blunt-fingered and ringed, positioning her, his tattooed arms encircling her body as he pushed into her from behind. Blood rushed south, north, engorging her vulva and breasts, sending a flush up her chest. She ignored her arousal and focused on him. “I’m not afraid of you. Do you want me to be?”
      “A very proper question from my new submissive.”
      Destiny rolled her eyes, making Johnny grin. Humor flashed merrily in his dark gaze. She hoped he wasn’t the kind of Dom who wanted her to look down all the time. She enjoyed seeing his eyes glow like that.
      His smile faded. “As for an answer, no, I’m not into fear. Pain, yes; fear, no. I won’t expect you to cringe, but you will show me respect.” His voice was quiet, calm and diamond-hard.
      “Earn it.” Destiny clenched every muscle she could control to keep her shiver from showing.
      “Ah, Destiny, there is absolutely no doubt of that.”
      He reached across the bar to stroke his index finger over her lower lip. His touch made her breath stop in her throat. Her mouth fell open and her tongue darted to taste the pad of his finger. Lime from the gin and tonic he had just mixed made her mouth water. The urge to lower herself was shocking.
      “Good girl. Good, good girl,” he whispered. “You are going to please me very much.”
      Sweet Jesus, she wanted to. Fear spiked in her center.
      Where was the woman who loved power, the leader, the one creating the scene? Panic made her pull her head back from him and close her lips, but he caught her by the jaw, fingers gently clamped around her chin, his little finger feathering the pulse in her throat. “Uh-uh, no way, little lamb. There is no strength in denial. Choose this. Don’t let your brain talk you out of what you need.”
      Her thoughts pinwheeled. She cleared her throat and swallowed, a difficult feat with his hand on her throat. “Not lamb—ram. The symbol for Aries is the ram.”
      “Since you asked so nicely, I’d be happy to.” His slight, mocking smile returned and his hand dropped away from her face, chilling her.
      Destiny was torn. Half of her still wanted to flip this situation, make him bow and scrape, put him on his knees in any way she could. The other half, the rising half, actually wanted what he could give her—a strong hand, a will to match her own. She sure as hell hadn’t come across another man who brought out a submissive side of her.
      Again, the wicked gleam. “Choose it. It’s only fun if you want to. Mostly.”
      “Fun? You do this for fun?”
      “Absolutely. Does that answer your question?”
      She nodded slowly and Johnny’s shoulders relaxed. He took her hand. “Isn’t that why you do it too?” he asked.
      She had to think about that. Her eyes rested on the blond boy in the corner. He was waiting for her. She knew he was waiting for her. So like Damian, her first love and the man who had introduced her to the BDSM lifestyle, with his long, blond curls and sweet disposition. Also like him in his need to serve. She shook her head. “No, that’s not why I do it.”
      “Then welcome to my world, Destiny. Good times, guaranteed. Give me a night, one night, to show you how much pure pleasure can be found in submission.”


Tonya: Wow!!  Yep, that ones on my TBL so I can get that puppy read! Whew! Is there anything else you want to tell our readers?

Miranda: Let's give away a copy of Bottoms Up! I will choose one commenter on Friday to be the winner. Now here's your question - no, let's make it two questions - What color are your favorite take-on-the-world panties?? What is your favorite drink...in honor of our sexy bartender this week? Feel free to leave other comments and questions but we want to know the pantie COLOR and your favorite drink...ready, set, go!
