*Giveaway & Guest Post* The Beach by Jaye Frances

The Beach is Available on Amazon NOW!!
Here's a synopsis:

Alan loves the beach. More than a weekend respite, it is his home, his refuge, his sanctuary. And for most of the year, he strolls the sand in blissful solitude, letting nature—and no one else—touch him. But spring has given way to summer, and soon, the annual invasion of vacationers and tourists will subdivide the beach with blankets, umbrellas, and chairs, depriving Alan of his privacy and seclusion—the fundamental touchstones of his life.

 Resigned to endure another seasonal onslaught of beach-goers, Alan believes there is nothing he can do but prepare for the worst.

 But fate has other plans.

 Delivered to him on the crest of a rogue wave, the strange object appears to have no purpose, no practical use—until Alan accidentally discovers what waits inside. Now he must attempt to unravel an ageless mystery, unaware that the final outcome will change his life, and the beach, forever.
In the companion novella Short Time, you’ll meet a respectable but bored middle-class executive, who exchanges his future for six months of excess and extravagance, only to find out the price he must pay for his hedonistic indulgence is beyond anything he could have imagined.

I obtained the above information at Ms. Jaye's website!

Now I will turn the Lair over to Ms. Jaye... I hope you enjoy what she has to say!! And beware at the end there is a giveaway....... Only if you are good!! *Evil wink*

Thank you, Cecile, for having me back on All I Want and More with my new sci-fi fantasy release The Beach, a “duella” including the bonus novella Short Time.

“Make a wish!” Many of us hear those words spoken every year, just before we blow out the candles on a brightly-lit birthday cake. It’s fun to fantasize about what our lives could be like if we had more money, or fame, or talent. But how many of us have actually considered the results of crafting our own destiny—especially the consequences that could arise from taking fate into our own hands?

It’s a question that Alan, the main character in The Beach, must answer when he begins to consider the possibility of creating a new and very different future for himself.

In the following excerpt, Alan is having a conversation with Efil, an unusual stranger who professes to have the ability to fulfill Alan’s fantasy.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Now, where were we?” Alan asked.

“I believe we were discussing the details of your desired outcome.” Efil clasped his hands together, forming a steeple with his index fingers. “The specifics of which had something to do with reducing the number of people within the immediate vicinity.”

“And the best way to accomplish it,” Alan added. “That’s when the deal started going south.”

“It isn’t necessary to re-visit those circumstances. I now have a much better idea of what you desire. Your goal is to prevent others from having access to this specific stretch of sand. Is that correct?”

“Right! I want them gone . . . all the damn people.”

“All of them?” Efil asked.

Alan hesitated. If Efil was asking, it was probably for Efil’s benefit. Alan commended himself for catching it. He would proceed with caution. “I’m not sure . . . about all of them.”

“Then perhaps you want less people.”

“Yeah, a lot less,” Alan confirmed.

“Do you have a specific number in mind? If you give me the final count, I can distribute even allotments of gender and age over the entire beach, or deposit them at opposite ends of the strand if you like.”

Alan walked to the kitchen window and stared at the still-paralyzed landscape. If I hand-picked the crowd, I could keep the numbers to a comfortable minimum and surround myself with a better class of people. People who I might enjoy being around. People like . . . me. “No, not a specific number. I want to choose who stays and who goes.”

“And those who go, what shall be their fate?”

“I don’t care what happens to them. I just want them gone. Permanently. Give them leprosy or turn them into shark bait. It makes no difference to me.”

“Then you’re leaving the means used to eliminate those whom you find undesirable up to me?”

“Is that a problem?”

Not at all,” Efil replied. “Simply a necessary disclosure, required when a client has relegated the power to inflict injury, illness, malady, or disease. So how shall we begin? Who will be the first to be purged?”

Here’s a brief synopsis:

Alan loves the beach. More than a weekend respite, it is his home, his refuge, his sanctuary. And for most of the year, he strolls the sand in blissful solitude, letting nature—and no one else—touch him. But spring has given way to summer, and soon, the annual invasion of vacationers and tourists will subdivide the beach with blankets, umbrellas, and chairs, depriving Alan of his privacy and seclusion—the fundamental touchstones of his life.

Resigned to endure another seasonal onslaught of beach-goers, Alan believes there is nothing he can do but prepare for the worst.

Delivered to him on the crest of a rogue wave, the strange object appears to have no purpose, no practical use—until Alan accidentally discovers what waits inside. Now he must attempt to unravel an ageless mystery, unaware that the final outcome will change his life, and the beach, forever.

Book Description
True love is put to the test in the third book in Kristin Miller's Vampires of Crimson Bay series.

Tortured by demonic voices, Dante's soul is as black as they come. But when he meets Ariana—an innocent vampire fighting demons of her own—he second-guesses everything he's ever known about sacrifice, passion, and soul-scorching love.

Before Dante wages war against Crimson Bay's greatest threat, he must make a choice: love Ariana the way she deserves, risking her life in the process—or fight to protect her, unleashing the monster he's determined to bury.

I obtained the above information from Harper Collins website.



Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.... Something that we cannot Google about you, lol! Since you are a new to me author, I am hoping to bring you to the light of others! So share away!
I’m an English teacher turned stay-at-home mom turned romance writer. I never dreamed I’d be in publishing, but life has a way of turning things topsy-turvy and I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’ve got a supportive husband, two wild rugrats, and a handful of furry children.

Tell us a little about your book?

Tortured by demonic voices, Dante's soul is as black as they come. But when he meets Ariana—an innocent vampire fighting demons of her own—he second-guesses everything he's ever known about sacrifice, passion, and soul-scorching love.

Before Dante wages war against Crimson Bay's greatest threat, he must make a choice: love Ariana the way she deserves, risking her life in the process—or fight to protect her, unleashing the monster he's determined to bury.

How much emotion does it take from you to write?

I wouldn’t say that writing takes emotion away from me. In order to get into a really emotional scene, I have to go there. I usually need to write in a quiet place to focus on putting myself in the heads and hearts of the characters. Once the scene is finished, I’m not drained or weary. I’m roarin’ to go on the next chapter!

What is your favorite part of the book?

There’s a fight scene between a handful of vampire elders. Each elder has a maware (a power bestowed upon them in the Ever After) that he uses in the fight. It’s pouring down rain. An elder discovers his maware for the first time. Tensions boil over. Blood is spilled. Yeah, it’s pretty sweet.

You can only pick 3 words for your main characters…what would they be? *to describe your main characters*
Dante: tortured, dark, sexy
Ariana: dedicated, sympathetic, loyal

Which was the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why?

Easiest—Dante. I tend to write heroes more easily than heroines. He came to me first, and twisted my arm until he became one of my favorites. (Dante actually is a secondary character in Vamped Up, Book #2 in the series.)

Hardest—Savage. He’s the vampire-shifter villain in the story, and although I usually write villains pretty well, this was the first book where he didn’t have a point of view. I left his point of view out in order to better focus on the relationship between Dante and Ariana. Not seeing what he was doing behind the scenes made it difficult to create a sense of urgency. He’s about to attack! But how do we know? I think I solved the problem, but that was definitely a hurdle I had to climb.

How many books are you shooting for in this series?

This will most likely be the final book in the Vampires of Crimson Bay series. There is a possibility for other spin-off books, but those aren’t on the radar yet.

What are you currently working on?

I’m writing Demand of the Dragon (Novella #3 in the Isle of Feralon series) for Harlequin Cravings. The novellas are short (60-100 pages) and include an enchanted world of dragons, werewolves, and merfolk. They’re steamier than the Vampires of Crimson Bay series, but definitely share the level of world-building.

Do you have anything due to release soon?

I hope to have four releases next year (lofty goal, I know), but nothing set for the remainder of this year.

What's one thing that you enjoy about writing?

I’ve always loved studying the use of language. When I taught English, one of my favorite units was creative writing. It’s a really cool feeling to write a scene from one perspective, realize it doesn’t work, spin it, flip it, manipulate the words, and come out of a death-spiral with something really amazing.

Since we're cover hussies....what was your first impression of your cover?

I held my breath. I zoomed in on every inch. I absolutely loved it. I think my first word was, “Oooooh!”

What do you prefer ebooks or paperbacks?

I prefer to read on paperbacks, but I have a Kindle3 and Kindle Touch and will read on them if I travel or if I’m critiquing partner’s work.

Is there a genre you would like to write but are a little apprehensive to try?

I’ve written romantic suspense, paranormal romance, erotic paranormal romance, and historical romance…I guess you could say if there’s something that interests me, I’m going to give it a shot.

Okay.... personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there... Hahah...

If you thought you were safe... Nah... Forgot it... Not a chance! We will start off slow and easy, I promise!

What is on your night stand/dresser? My alarm clock and my current night time read: Monica McCarty’s The Saint

What are you listening to right now? Blissful silence…and the clicking of the clock in the kitchen.

What are you reading right now?
Two books: Monica McCarty’s The Saint and Jamie Quaid’s Boyfriend From Hell

What is your favorite season? Winter! Love the rain.
Holiday? Thanksgiving

And what has been your best b-day present ever? Husband gave me an iPod years ago, when they first came out. I secretly wanted one, but didn’t say anything because they were pretty pricey. He had “Two peas in an iPod” engraved on the back. Sweetheart, that man.

Hard and Quick Time! Don't think... Just answer! Okay, before we go this route, I will get us a refill on our drinks... I will be right back...Thanks so much for the refill! I’m ready!

Dark or Milk Chocolate? Milk
Whipped or Melted? Whipped
Straight up or with a twist - sex? Straight up
What's ur fave drink - in a glass or on him? Lemon Drop
Spank or Flogger? Spank
Junk or Health Food? Junk

*Giveaway & Interview* w/Candace Blevins of Safeword Series

Ladies and gentlemen of the Smutty Lair...
If you were here yesterday, you saw my review for Davenport...
Well, I am hoping I teased you enough to want to learn more about the woman responsible for writing that book and many others...

Please put together a warm, smutty welcome for....
Ms. Candace Blevins!


My review was yesterday!
Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.... Something that we cannot Google about you, lol! Since you are a new to me author, I am hoping to bring you to the light of others! So share away!

I’m a forty-something year old mom of two young kids, I’ve been married to my soul mate for fourteen years, and I’ve been in the lifestyle more than twenty years. He’s a Dom and a sadist, which works out well since I’m a masochist, and submissive to him. We did the extreme 24/7 TPE thing for a while before kids, but these days things are pretty relaxed during the day and we only play once the kids are asleep.

Tell us a little about your book?

I wrote Safeword: Matte for myself, as I was tired (at the time) of books with all of these outside forces trying to pull couples apart. I wanted to show a relationship coming together and forming into something special without external conflicts causing problems.
I also wanted to show some of the complications in a strong woman finding someone to submit. For a woman physically strong, as well as very strong-willed, and of above average intelligence, is there any hope of her finding someone she can willingly hand her power over to?

How much emotion does it take from you to write?
Safeword: Matte was fun to write. Sure, it took some emotion, but it was all good. My most recent books, Safeword: Davenport and Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon, had me a snotty, crying mess while I wrote them... and on every editing pass, too.

What is your favorite part of the book?

The flogging scene during the thunderstorm. It’s loosely based on something that actually happened, though it was in a vacation cabin on a mountain near Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and didn’t involve the pseudo fight ahead of time. It was a magical afternoon and evening, as we watched and heard the storm coming, and then enjoyed the energy of the wind and thunder and lightning as it arrived and became part of the scene we were playing out on the screened in porch. I’m glad I was able to share parts of it through my writing.

You can only pick 3 words for your main characters..what would they be? *to describe your main characters*

To describe both of them? Strong, honest, responsible.  Hmmm, and Sexy.

Which was the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why?

To see my review click here
Ethan was pretty easy to write. I’ve dated someone as endowed as him (yes, men can actually be that big), and I’ve dated several guys as tall and muscular as him. I enjoyed adding the physical aspects in with the personality I gave him. Most women haven’t been carried in someone’s arms, cradled safely as they completely relax, since they were children. And men who are built like Ethan generally either use their size to scare people, or spend a good deal of effort trying to assure people they’re safe around them. Ethan uses his size to intimidate people in sanctioned fights, but in everyday situations goes out of his way to not scare people.
I don’t think I had any difficult characters to write in Safeword: Matte. My purpose while writing it was to keep the external conflicts out of it, and only show what might come up naturally as two people work towards finding balance in a power exchange.
My most difficult character of all of my books has been Dana, from the two Davenport books. She started out as me, in a story I never intended to offer to the public. While my husband was in the hospital and we weren’t sure he was going to make it, I wrote the beginnings of a story of how someone’s life might look a year and a half after she’d lost her husband. I believe time heals all wounds, so it was kind of my way of convincing myself I’d be okay, eventually, if he didn’t pull through. Once the doctors finally started talking about him eventually going home, I stopped writing on the book, and it was about a year before I returned to it. I’ve changed things enough so Dana isn’t “me”, but there are still a lot of similarities, and I’m so close to the story... it was hard.

Wow, thank you for sharing that with us. And for those of you that have not read Davenport's stories yet... Dana is a woman who is strong and knows what she wants... But also knows what it is like to lose her heart. My heart went out for her...
How many books are you shooting for in this series??
Look for review to come!

I don’t have a specific number. At this point, I have lots of ideas for stories in this series, but I don’t know how many of them I’ll actually write.

What are you currently working on?

Safeword: Quinacridone, which involves a socially backwards computer geek, a shy artist, and deep exploration of objectification.

Do you have anything due to release soon?

I’m just about finished with Safeword: Quinacridone, but don’t have a release date for it yet, as I have no idea how long the editing process is going to take on this one.

What's one thing that you enjoy about writing?

Writing allows me to share experiences not a lot of people get to (or want to) experience in real life. It allows me to explore emotions and sensations out loud, so others can be a part of it. I love creating my characters, getting to know them, and then watching them on their journey to find a relationship that works for them.

Since we're cover hussies....what was your first impression of your cover?

I loved it. Seriously, it’s Ethan. I kind of wish he didn’t have the thing on his head, but even that ended up working out, since he’s bald in part of the book and has hair in part of it.

What do you prefer, ebooks or paperbacks?


Oh, ebooks, definitely. Someone let me borrow a hardback recently, and I was so frustrated with it. It was heavy, and took two hands to wield – one to hold the book and another to turn the pages. When my eyes got tired I couldn’t make the font bigger. I couldn’t put it in a ziplock baggie and safely read in the tub with the jets going. And I had to leave the light on at night to read (normally I switch from Kindle to Droid tablet when my husband goes to sleep, so we can turn the light off). Oh, and I had to find a bookmark if something interrupted me, and it was HUGE to carry around in my purse. I hadn’t realized how spoiled I’d become with ebooks.

Is there a genre you would like to write but are a little apprehensive to try?

I will eventually dive into Urban Fantasy. It’s not so much I’m apprehensive to try it, as it is that I’ve got a few ideas but haven’t fully cemented the series in my head yet. Also, I’m still having a blast with the safeword series, and I’m not ready to explore another genre just yet.

Okay.... personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there... Hahah...
If you thought you were safe... Nah... Forgot it... Not a chance! We will start off slow and easy, I promise!

What is on your night stand/dresser?

A tub of pistachios, Hint pomegranate tangerine water, a few USB flash drives, my cellphone (charging), Kindle touch (charging), my daughter’s Kindle Fire (charging), my younger daughter’s Kindle Keyboard (confiscated when I caught her reading under the covers with a flashlight two and a half hours after her bedtime), and my Droid tablet (charging). My laptop is often there as well, but it’s currently in my lap.

What are you listening to you right now?
KISS FM, a Chattanooga radio station. My oldest daughter’s choice, and it’s piped throughout the house at the moment. They are currently playing, “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”.

What are you reading right now?
Back from the Undead, by DD Barant. It came out in March, but I’m just now getting around to reading it. I love the worldbuilding in this series, and adore the smart-assed main character and her smart-assed plastic partner (animated by the life force of a t-rex, so don’t let the plastic bits fool you). The books in this series make me laugh and think. Not much sex, but that’s okay.

What is your favorite season? Holiday?
My favorite season is spring – life and rebirth and the promise of better things after the cold winter.
I’m not sure I have a favorite holiday. I enjoy parts of Christmas and don’t enjoy other parts of it. I love Thanksgiving, but used to hate the whole Friday shopping thing. Now I shop online and get great deals, so it’s not so bad anymore. My husband and I had our first vanilla date on the Fourth of July – we went hiking that day and went to an outdoors concert that night, ending in fireworks, so it’s still kind of special. He found some sweet gum balls on the ground and used them like you’d use a Wartenberg wheel to torture me during the concert. He only used it on my arms and legs, since we were in public, but it drove me crazy.

And what has been your best b-day present ever??
Umm, I’m in my mid-forties – I have no idea. The first thing that comes to mind is a road being opened. When I was young we had to travel fourteen miles of a winding two-lane road to get to town. Or school. Or the nearest store. They built a two-lane road beside it, and smoothed the hills and straightened the curves and we drove on it for a few years while they straightened and flattened the original two lanes. The official four-lane road opened for the first time on my eighteenth birthday, which I thought was pretty cool. It turned what was usually a twenty-five minute drive into a fifteen minute drive.

Hard and Quick Time! Don't think... Just answer! Okay, before we go this route, I will get us a refill on our drinks... I will be right back...

You know you do... Quickie time... Think fast....
Are you a quickie kind girl?
  Quickies have their place – it’s occasionally nice to be ordered to bend over the sofa with no foreplay. It’s not my favorite, but it’s hot every once in a while.

Dark or Milk Chocolate?  Milk Chocolate. Yummmm.

Whipped or Melted?  Whipped cream. Melted butter. Hmmm, whipping me tends to make me melt inside, does that count?

Straight up or with a twist - sex?  With a twist, of course.

What's ur fave drink - in a glass or on him?  Alcoholic drink? Jack and Coke. In a glass, of course. He’s kind of a clean freak – it’s okay to put messy stuff on me, but not on him.

Spank or Flogger?  My preference is flogger, but I love both.

Junk or Health Food?  I’m a vegetarian, and most of the time I eat healthy stuff. I’m not opposed to chocolate flavored protein bars, though. I love the Luna Protein Mint Chocolate bars. Yummmm. I generally only do junk food at birthdays and holidays, where I go all out, while I’m at it.

Ties or Chains? I have to choose? Ties in our bedroom, because they are the most practical and they don’t damage anything. In a club, I love the sound and feel of chains, though.

Leather or Lace?  Leather.

Soft or Hard... Bed, where was your mind?  Soft. Very soft, with a pillowtop. I have funny stories of my kids’ reactions to the beds in China, where it’s believed a soft bed makes you soft. If you ever travel to China, ask for a western bed. We tend to travel off the beaten path, where there are no western beds available, though. On our last trip, one of our kids chose to sleep on top of DH the whole time – LOL.

Control or Be Controlled? I’m in control at work, we’re mostly partners where it comes to raising our kids, and I’m controlled in just about everything else.

Hot Wax or Whip Cream? Hot wax. That’s an easy one.

Vampire or Werewolf? Depends on the author. I prefer the wolves in the Twilight world, the vampires in Jeaniene Frost’s world, the shifters in Ilona Andrews’ world.

Twitter and/or Facebook? Yes, both.  http://www.facebook.com/candacesblevins and

Review: Davenport by Candace Blevins

Safeword: Davenport

Dana has never submitted to anyone but her husband — he trained her, taught her to submit. He’s been dead a year and a half though, and she’s beginning to consider the possibility of dating again. She sticks to vanilla at first, but quickly realizes she’s going to need more. As she’s considering the idea of finding someone who would enjoy hurting her without requiring her submission, her life is complicated by a Dom who pushes all of her buttons.

Safeword: Davenport is the first half of Dana’s story, it’s the personal part of her journey, and has a Happy for Now ending. Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon is scheduled for release August 3, 2012, and will give the rest of her story.

Warning: This title contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, bondage, intense sensory deprivation, extreme electrical play, enemas, and the use of toys including clamps, canes, plugs, cages, paddles, whips, and floggers.

I obtained the above information from Ms. Candace's website!


Now if you are still here after Candace's warning of the book.... Then I will just say that I am a very big fan of Candace's work... So the only warning I will give you is that this book is a slight more darker than the other three books in this series. The BDSM really goes dark. I am not saying this as a scaring kinda warning, just a warning because this is not a light, fluffy.... "Oh look how cute she is in handcuffs" kinda book.. This is a serious tale of the path of re-discovery. Now let's get on with the review...
Ms. Candace has done another wonderful job at soaking the pages with such detail, passion and emotion that you will just keep reading until you hit the last page... And then you find out that the story is not quite done yet... You will continue to read this story with such a fever that you will be dying to know... What happened...
This is a tale of one woman on a path of re self discovery. Having lost her better half more than a year ago she knows it is time to move on... But does her heart and soul and submission know that it is time. She has been with a few different men, some more pleasing than others... But no one has been able to tap into her submission side... Nor has anyone been able to handle her sadistic side... That is until she meets..... Zach.
Dana knows that life goes on. She knows that love will grow in her heart again, but she doesn't know if she will ever be able to submit the way she did to her deceased husband. Dana has her career but what she craves is a master... Maybe... The not knowing part is what is killing her. When she meets Zach and sees a promise in his eyes... She knows what she wants and goes for it.... But is Zach ready to handle a woman like Dana.
Zach is recreating himself after the death of his wife... His new project puts a woman in his path that highly intrigues him. It actually goes beyond intriguing... He wants to own her, dominate her.... But he knows a kinder spirit when he sees one... She has been on the same path as him... But it isn't living if you don't open your heart and live.....
To watch these two together is just extremely hot.... And I want to go on gushing about these two but in my heart I need to tell you about the discovery of Dana... This book is about her opening herself up to life again... To love again... To have pleasure and pain again... To surrendering again... This books had many things... You will find pleasure, pain, lust, blind love, friendship, trust..... But you will also find discovery.
On Dana's road of discovery, she will rekindle an old friendship that will enhance the plot... And make you keep reading and hoping for the ending you know you want.... But Candace will keep you hanging.... Because the next book Davenport and Chiffon is the ending to a perfect story....
Stay tune for an interesting interview & giveaway
with Candace tomorrow....

BLURB:

This biker chick longs for the open road…until two Kiowa cowboys shift her gears.

Eight months ago, Libby Jones parked her motorcycle in Temptation, Texas, to work at the Ugly Stick Saloon. Since then she’s grown to love the bar’s feeling of family, but now it’s time to hit the road. The longer she stays, the greater the risk her father’s investigators will track her down.

Yet she can’t resist taking the Gray Wolf twins up on their offer to go riding on their ranch. Even though getting involved should be the last thing on her mind.

Ever since Libby landed at the Ugly Stick, Mark and Luke Gray Wolf have been trying to capture her attention. She's blown them off at every turn, until now. Their plan: expose her to the delights only twins can provide—and persuade her to stay for the long haul.

Libby’s longing for a life she can’t have makes her delay her departure just a heartbeat too long. Her hesitation gives her past time to walk through the saloon door, and all hell to break loose. Now the twins have a fight on their hands to teach her that being free doesn’t mean she can’t let go of her heart.

Warning: Welcome back to the Ugly Stick Saloon. Pull up a chair and set a spell, you're gonna wanna hear this tale about two hot Kiowa twins and a leather-clad biker chick. Multiple partners, a little BDSM, and one skinny-dippin' scene so hot it’ll make the pages sizzle!

Libby’s longing for a life she can’t have makes her delay her departure just a heartbeat too long. Her hesitation gives her past time to walk through the saloon door, and all hell to break loose. Now the twins have a fight on their hands to teach her that being free doesn’t mean she can’t let go of her heart.

How much emotion does it take from you to write?
Depends on the scene I'm writing. If it involves ripping the heart out of the characters, I can come away depressed. If it's humor, I could be laughing at my desk or at least smiling. If I'm writing an action scene, my fingers fly across the keyboard and I come away exhausted and exhilarated.

What is your favorite part of the book?
I love the interaction between Mark, Luke and Libby. Mark and Luke are like Ying and Yang to each other. As twins, they know each other so well they can anticipate each other's thoughts.

You can only pick 3 words for your main characters..what would they be? *to describe your main characters*Desperate for love

Which was the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why??
Mark and Luke were easy to write. They were so much alike, being twins, yet so different. Libby was more difficult as she had the most to lose in the story. Her freedom which she desperately wanted to maintain. Yet she'd found a place she felt safe yet unconfined, Temptation, Texas and the Ugly Stick Saloon.

How many books are you shooting for in this series??
Until I run out of characters! And more keep popping up. I love coming back to the Ugly Stick Saloon and would like to keep coming back for a long time.

What are you currently working on?
I write as Elle James for Harlequin Intrigue and I'm writing cowboy mysteries. I have 4 books to complete by end of year. But as Myla Jackson, I have 2 more books coming soon (I hope) to continue the Ugly Stick Saloon Series.

Do you have anything due to release soon?

BOOTS AND BAREBACK is scheduled to release October 23 at Samhain. I introduce the O'Briens and we see Isabella (Bella) Severs at the Ugly Stick. I'll have a short story release Independently prior to its release with Jesse O'Brien and his girl Ellie Lang.

What's one thing that you enjoy about writing?
Definitely being my own boss. I like the flexibility of my schedule and I LOVE living the lives of my characters one story at a time. If you think reading is an escape, try writing. It takes me to great places and I meet the darnedest people!

Since we're cover hussies....what was your first impression of your cover?
The first round was the best with a really wicked biker chick on it, but then they couldn't use that photo as it was used on another book too recently...sigh. Then they found the two hot dudes and the red-head with an attitude and I LOVED it! This is soooo the characters in the book.

What do you prefer, ebooks or paperbacks?
I'm quickly becoming an e-book fan. I love that I can read from my iPhone, Kindle or my husband's Ipad and the app syncs it to where I left off. I can turn the pages so easily and it's easy to find a book to read at the touch of a finger!

Is there a genre you would like to write but are a little apprehensive to try?
Action adventure! Like Clive Cussler books. And Young Adult. It's not apprehension so much as time. I don't have time in my schedule right now, but I hope to in the future.

Okay.... personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there... Hahah... If you thought you were safe... Nah... Forget it... Not a chance! We will start off slow and easy, I promise!

What is on your night stand/dresser?
Photos of the kids, lamp and a clock. Boring right? But in the drawer I have a double silver bullet vibrator!

What are you listening to you right now?
Love to listen to Miranda Lambert, Lady Antebellum, Bob Marley and whatever else comes on the radio. I can't listen to music  when I'm writing  because I like to sing along!

What are you reading right now?
The other stories in SheShifters, a Cleis Publishing antohology my sister Delilah Devlin edited. I have a story in there, but I haven't had a chance to read all the other.

What is your favorite season?
Holiday? Christmas! I love the music, the food, getting together with family and the colored lights everywhere!

And what has been your best b-day present ever??A riding lawn mower? Yeah, my husband's idea of a great gift...Best part of that gift is that my husband does all the mowing. :-)

Hard and Quick Time! Don't think... Just answer! Okay, before we go this route, I will get us a refill on our drinks... I will be right back...

Quickie time... Think fast....

Are you a quickie kind of girl? Yes
Dark or Milk Chocolate? Milk chocolate - Hersheys is my fave.
Whipped or Melted? whipped
Straight up or with a twist - sex? with a twist
What's ur fave drink - in a glass or on him? strawberry dacquiri on him, add a little whipped cream
Spank or Flogger?  flogger sounds like fun
Junk or Health Food? junk for sure!
Ties or Chains? ties (aren't as bulky )
Leather or Lace? leather, I like the tough feel of it
Soft or Hard... Bed, where was your mind? soft!
Control or Be Controlled? Both, depends on mood
Hot Wax or Whip Cream? Whip Cream!
Vampire or Werewolf? Werewolf, warm blooded and not only nocturnal, I can  have him all day and night!
Twitter and/or Facebook? facebook
Pinterest or not? ach! who has time? Did I mention I  have 4 books to finish by end of year?

A Little Excerpt:

With ten minutes to cool her heels, Libby slowed and paused at the entrance to backstage. A flash of naked skin snagged her attention and she tipped her head to the side to get a better view of what was going on.

Libby’s heart fluttered at the sight of Audrey perched on a stack of boxes, completely naked except for her bright red cowboy boots. Her legs wrapped around Jackson’s equally naked body as his hips rocked, grinding against hers.

One of Audrey’s arms circled Jackson’s shoulders as she rode him, leaning close to kiss the side of his neck. In her other hand, she held a long leather whip. She glanced across the room, her gaze connecting with Libby’s. Audrey winked and flicked the whip, a loud crack splitting the air.

“Careful with that. You almost got me,” Jackson warned.

“Had I been aiming for you, I wouldn’t have missed. Now, ride me, cowboy,” Audrey demanded.

Libby’s breath hitched and she stepped back, just enough so she couldn’t see. Heat rose from her chest into her cheeks. She’d never spied on another couple having sex. But Jackson and Audrey had looked so very hot and sexy, and the kink factor of the whip made Libby’s blood burn.

Audrey’s moan drew Libby back to the entrance like a sailor to a siren. She couldn’t help watching as the couple engaged in hot and kinky sex.

*Interview & Giveaway* Savage Book 1 by Willow Rose


Savage: The Daughters of the Jaguar - Book One

The year is 1983. Christian is 22 years old when he leaves his home in Denmark to spend a year in Florida with a very wealthy family and go to med-school. A joyful night out with friends is shattered by an encounter with a savage predator that changes his life forever. Soon he faces challenges he had never expected. A supernatural gift he has no idea how to embrace. A haunting family in the house next door. A spirit-filled girl who seems to carry all the answers. An ancient secret hidden in the swamps of Florida. One life never the same. One love that becomes an obsession. Two destinies that will be forever entangled.

Savage is a paranormal romance with some language, violence, and sexual situations recommended for ages sixteen and up.

Just for your information... A delicious sweet treat - I am planning on lowering the price for Savage to 99 cent from Aug 22nd for a limited time. And I am also doing a campaign for my other series called Afterlife and I am putting up Beyond - the first book in the series for free for three days starting on Wednesday 22nd as well and will sell the rest of the books for only 99 cent too!!

Reviews I have received so far:

"I loved this book. It was easy to get swept away with the story. There were ups and downs for all involved. But though there were trials and tribulations that Christian must face, on the whole, this story was a joy to behold. You follow Christian through from being a young 'Casanova' to being a more mature young man who finally knows what it's like to feel true love.
But it's not just a love story. And not all is as it seems. This is a Paranormal Romance - there are secrets to be told. Are you ready to listen? "

- Gothicangelbookreviews

"Wow... Im a little stunned right now to be honest.. because the lovely Willow Rose has actually done what I didn't really think was possible anymore. Stun me so much that I actually have to think about the message of the book (...) I hope this review will get you to pick up the book because thats not a decision you will regret if you like: splendid writing, adorable characters and an ending that will leave you wanting more ( I know I did) ! "
- Review from Goodreads.

"Savagely good! The cast of characters is diverse and interesting, and the interesting aspects of Native American culture and myth that Rose writes about are fascinating." - Open Book Society

Here is a little taste of the book...

I removed my clothes and followed her into the cold water that sprang from the center of the earth in a spring somewhere further north and therefore had the same temperature all year around.                                                                   
“Are there any animals in this water?” I asked as she carefully took me by the hand and led me in.                                                                                      
“There might be manatees,” she said with a shrug.            
“What about alligators?" I asked and turned as I thought I heard something move behind me in the water. “Someone told me that there are alligators in all waterholes in Florida.”                        
She laughed. “There might be, but we rarely see them. Besides. It just makes it that more exciting, right?” She pulled my hand and drew me close to her. Our bodies felt warm against each other, her skin was soft, and touching it made me forget about animals in the water and the sounds of nature. I even forgot about my concerns as to hurting her and disappointing her parents. All I could think about was her and me, here right now in this water that was caressing our bodies. I kissed her again and held her naked body close to mine while allowing the passion to rise in me. Suddenly she pulled away from me. “Stop,” she whispered urgently. I looked at her and saw that the expression on her face had suddenly changed.                       
“What’s wrong?” I asked sensing that my voice was shaking slightly. If it was out of fear or caused by the arousal I didn’t know.               
“I thought I heard something.”                       
“Like what?” She shook her head while her expression cleared. She smiled. “It was probably nothing.”

Author Bio...
Willow Rose writes Paranormal Romance, fantasy and mystery. Originally from Denmark she now lives on Florida’s Space Coast with her husband and two daughters. She is a huge fan of Anne Rice and Isabel Allende. When she is not writing or reading she enjoys to watch the dolphins play in the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.


***Now time for our interview... And Giveaway Follows....***


Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.... Something that we cannot Google about you, lol!
You can almost google everything about everybody these days so that is hard. But I can tell you that I don't like coffee even if I think I should love it considering the profession I am in, I hate to wear socks cause it makes my feet sweaty and finally I am a sucker for cake - any kind of cake.

Since you are a new to me author, I am hoping to bring you to the light of others! So share away!

Tell us a little about your book?
In Savage we meet Christian who is a young man torn between the world of science and the world of magic. He has left his country of Denmark and is going to Florida to go to med school. He meets Aiyana who is a spirit-filled girl living in a completely different world than he is. Her family is descendants from the Timucua Indians that lived in Florida before the Spaniards came. They live in a world of magic, music and laughter and Christian feels so drawn to them.  At the same time he has a violent encounter with a savage beast in the swamps of Florida, an encounter that makes him doubt everything he has always believed.

How much emotion does it take from you to write?
It takes everything I have. I always feel like I am giving a huge part of me once I publish a novel. I put an extremely high amount of emotion in every book and I have a tendency to feel everything the  main character is feeling. It is quite exhausting from time to time.

What is your favorite part of the book?
The parts where Christian meets with the jaguar in the swamps. I love those scenes.

You can only pick 3 words for your main characters..what would they be? *to describe your main characters*
Christian: Self-centered yet sensitive and caring.

Which was the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why??
The easiest was Halona. The little sister to Aiyana that Christian falls helplessly in love with. She was fun because she is so special. She hasn't spoken a word in several years, not since she predicted her older sister's death. Instead she uses telekinesis - she moves things around with the will of her mind.

How many books are you shooting for in this series??
I will write three books about the main character Christian.  It is sort of a family-saga really. In the first book he is in his twenties and so is the woman he falls in love with. In the second book they have kids of their own and are in their thirties. In the last book they will have young teenagers. I am also planning on doing a book about Aiyana, the spirit-filled Native American girl that he falls hopelessly in love with. About her and when she first discovers who and what she really is. I might also do a book about her sister who does telekinesis and their grand-mother who predicts natural disasters. I love those characters so much that they each deserve their own book.

What are you currently working on?
I am almost done with the sequel and I hope to publish it in September/October.

Do you have anything due to release soon?
The sequel ...

What's one thing that you enjoy about writing?
The way I can disappear into a world I have created and into the minds of my main characters. I never know where time went once I am done for the day.

Since we're cover hussies....what was your first impression of your cover?
I loved it immediately. My husband does my covers and he always reads the book first so he knows what kind of emotion I am going for.

What do you prefer ebooks or paperbacks?
That's a little difficult to answer cause I love both. I adore the feeling of holding a real book in my hands but I find e-books so much easier. I always carry my Kindle with me where ever I go and I always have all of my books in it at the same time. I can read several books at the same time and it weighs next to nothing.

Is there a genre you would like to write but are a little apprehensive to try?
I used to feel that about paranormal romance and romance. I used to write mystery-novels and I thought that was all I could. But now I write everything. Mystery, fantasy, paranormal, anything that I feel like doing.

Okay.... personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there... Hahah...

If you thought you were safe... Nah... Forgot it... Not a chance! We will start off slow and easy, I promise!

What is on your night stand/dresser?
I don't have a night stand but on my dresser is a lot of clothes that I should have put in the closet, a ton of books, some jewelry, sunscreen, make-up and my kindle.

What are you listening to you right now?
I always listen to James Blunt while I write. It's a little odd because I never listen to him otherwise. But I love writing with him in my ears for some reason. I think it os because his lyrics make me feel something.

What are you reading right now?
Anne Rice "The Vampire Lestat".

What is your favorite season? Holiday?
I live in Florida where every day is a potential beach-day so every season is wonderful. My favorite is spring and fall though. Because that's when Florida is perfect.

And what has been your best b-day present ever??
My first book was published on my 31st birthday by a big publishing house in Denmark where i lived at the time. That was huge.

Hard and Quick Time! Don't think... Just answer! Okay, before we go this route, I will get us a refill on our drinks... I will be right back...

You know you do... Quickie time... Think fast....
Are you a quickie kind girl? Yes.
Dark or Milk Chocolate? Dark and red wine.
Whipped or Melted? Whipped.
Straight up or with a twist - sex? With a twist.
What's ur fave drink - in a glass or on him? On him, with him you name it.
Spank or Flogger? Flogger.
Junk or Health Food? Junk.
Ties or Chains? Ties.
Leather or Lace? Lace.
Soft or Hard... Bed, where was your mind? Hard.
Control or Be Controlled? Be controlled.
Hot Wax or Whip Cream? Whip cream.
Vampire or Werewolf? Werewolf. I need my men hairy and warmblooded.
Twitter and/or Facebook? I am most to Facebook but use Twitter as well.
Pinterest or not? Not. Not yet.

Review: Callum: The Cursed Clan by Melissa Schroeder

Callum - The Cursed Clan
Melissa Schroeder Publishing

Will desire be the answer or the ruin of an entire clan?

The Cursed Clan, Book 1

As Laird, Callum Lennon feels he has always failed to protect his cousins. Callum’s impulsiveness caused the death of his father and the experience has scarred not only his body, but his soul. From that point on, he made sure to always go with the more logical choice in every matter. When his younger cousin Angus finds clues that might help break the curse, Callum begrudgingly hires Phoebe Chilton to investigate. Callum doesn’t like bringing outsiders into their family affairs. Their life would become fodder for the tabloids if anyone were to find out about the curse. It doesn’t help that the instant he meets Dr. Chilton he’s attracted. But, he doesn’t really have a choice because she might be their last hope.

An expert in archeology, Phoebe has always been dwarfed by her parents’ shadow. Their high standards had her in college by thirteen and earning a second PhD by twenty-two. But her career and her broken marriage have left her needing something more than just diplomas and degrees. She wants to prove that her interest in legends, especially Celtic legends, is as important as her parents’ work. When the Lennon family contacts her, she sees the opportunity to win a massive research grant. With a long-time rival breathing down her back, she jumps at the Lennons’ offer her, hoping it will ensure her the grant. But uncovering the Lennon family secrets, and her attraction to Callum, could prove more than she can handle.

Forces outside the family are determined to ensure that they fail. When an old enemy threatens both the well being of the clan and the fragile new love, Callum will have to choose between believing his mind or his heart.

I obtained the above information from Melissa's website!

Okay first... Let me say that I am a huge fan of Ms. Melissa's work! Like a HUGE fan... She has never disappointed me... Her stories are riveting, enticing, alluring, lustful, hot and of course just all sorts of yummies. She weaves her stories in such a way that you will devour the story and not know what time it is... Her stories are so enthralling that you will want more, need more... crave more! And this one is no exception!

Now secondly, I would like to thank all the people that Ms. Melissa thanked in her dedication because without them... I would have never been able to read this awesome story. Thank you guys for pushing Melissa to write this story... And Brandy for pushing her to publish it!

This story is just that awesome... Yes, ladies and gentlemen... This is a great... okay... scratch that.. Awesome way to introduce a new storyline... This is a story about two families that have been at odds with each other for centuries; with no end in sight. Both families are cursed... but can the curse be broken... Enter in the picture one woman with one mission... To learn!

Phoebe is one woman who is no nonsense. She knows the rules of life; so she plays the game very well. Never letting her heart get involved with anything other than artifacts. She lives, eats and breaths dig sites. She loves what she does with a passion... But her secret passion is with Celtic legends and when she is given the chance at getting an up-close look into the world of the Celtic legend she has studied all her life... how can she say no! But at what price will it cost her to work with Callum and his family....?

Callum and his family are different from the normal family... How you might ask... Well, they have been around for centuries... No, I don't mean as in the family line has been around for that long... or can be traced back that far... No... They actually have been physically around for that long. They are cursed due to something that happened way back when.. Of course I cannot tell you what happened... I have to get you to read the story somehow right?!?! Well, anyway.. back to my review...

Callum is not very trusting of the world... So, when he finds out that in order to even attempt to break this blasted ass curse, they have to bring in an outsider - well, let's just say he is not pleased... Then when he finds out she is from England... Well, let's just say he has a few choice words to say about that...

But now... when this story kicked off, Melissa had me intrigued from the very first page... She wrapped me around this family and had me wanting to know what the hell was going to happen... Melissa did an awesome job at giving me what I needed in this book but giving me the surprise of knowing there is definitely more to come from this family and their adventures to solve this family curse... Now did I give away to much.. No, because believe me when I tell you Melissa will give you the ride of your life with this story when you read it! Callum and his bad ass Scottish self... And he does look rather yummy in his kilt... And believe me the sex is... Well, it is all what is it made out to be - HOT!

This couple will rock your world! There are lies, there are half truths.... There are plots of vengeance, plans of thievery... There are things in this story that will only wet your lips for what is to come in the next one.. Oh and did I mention that Callum has other family members... One female... but the other four... Well, they are men just like him... So, I am very anxious to read the next one to see what will happen to that family member because this story just gets better and better!

Melissa created strong characters. Ones that will stand up to each other... No one is over domineering... Well, wait a minute... Callum kinda is but he is all that a bag of chips - so he can be as domineering as he wants to be... Especially in bed (Oh Yum)!! She created the women just as strong as the men and just as tough to break as the men. The action in the story is enough to make it what you want to read but not to much to where that is all you are reading... The story is done in taste and style that is all Melissa!

Okay... When is book two coming out honey??? People like me want to know... You know you have teased us and taunted us enough.... Trust me when I tell you, you are going to devour this story in two if not one day... My challenge to you... See if you can put it down! 

To learn more about Melissa, please visit her website here! You will surely enjoy yourself...

And remember... Always keep it Dirty, Smutty & Hussy! Photobucket

A little surprise... Ms. Lilou did a guest post for us.... ***Awww, she is so sweet!!!***

Hello, fans of All I Want and More! It is great to be here. This is the fifteenth and final stop of my three-week book tour. Dangerous Love, my debut novel, was released on 8.6.12.
I am grateful to all of the people that I have met along the way. Thank you for commenting and entering the giveaways! Whether you obtain a copy of Dangerous Love through winning the eBook, winning and using the eGift card, or making the purchase, I am thrilled to have you as a reader!
I humbly submit (no pun intended, really) to you these top 10 reasons to read Dangerous Love:
10. “Travel to Eastern Europe. Under a Bohemian moon, you will find your way.” Laura  (the heroine) actually says these words in the book. Dangerous Love will indeed transport you to Prague, Berlin, Vienna, Budapest, and other amazing cities. You will see them all as I did, but for free or the price of an eBook. Such a deal!
9. On a scale of one to ten, the heat factor is an eleven. Okay, I may be exaggerating a bit. But there are eleven sex scenes. No two are alike. Depending on how fast you read, that is one sex scene every fifteen to thirty minutes.
8. This is the story of the FORBIDDEN love between a Jewish American woman and the son of a Nazi. It is also the story of the TRUE love between a Jewish American woman and the son of a Nazi. If you have ever struggled with wanting that one person who is off limits, then Dangerous Love is the book for you.
7. Yes, there is sex in a public place. (4 instances.)
6. Yes, there is suspension bondage.
5. Yes, there is a threesome. (2 instances.)
4. Yes, there is sex with an inanimate object. (Huh?)
3. Through reading Dangerous Love, you will also get a history lesson. The hero's father was in the Hitler Youth. You will meet this man, now in his eighties, and find out what it was like for a boy to be conscripted into the Youth SS during World War II.
2. It is a tale of the power of love, acceptance, and redemption. That love is between not only the hero and heroine, but a father and his daughter.
1. Dangerous Love “is a story that sucks you in and won't let you go until you finish the book,” according to my first reviewer. I hope that is your experience, too!
              Thank you for having me as your guest on All I Want and More!
