Got a new post about THREESOME HEAT, the much-anticipated third book in the Threesome series.

Piracy

Piracy sucks -- I agree.

Y'all know about what happened to my friend Jenna Rose Ellis. She's angry and frustrated, and worse -- discouraged. She's thinking about not writing anymore (after finishing her current story, the 2nd book in the Regency Triad series, out soon.), since she's not getting just compensation for it.

Yes, we writers write because there's a story in us that yearns to be let out, and we care enough about the reading experience to have the story professionally edited and commission a nice book cover, but we also expect to earn from it. Else, why slave over the story on weeknights and weekends instead of going to the park with our kids and cooking nice dinners for our families? Or, damnit, rest our tired bodies already ravaged from our demanding day jobs?

We also decided to go with a small publisher instead of submitting to the bigger houses because we want to keep prices low for the readers. If you look at the prices being charged for our books, they're quite reasonable. We know, because we've compared word count and prices with other digital publishers out there.

But piracy not only steals from the authors, they also break down the inherent trust between authors and readers.

I've always known about piracy, but it's an objective idea. But now that it has touched my circles, it has become very subjective and personal.

As an author, after learning what happened to my friend, this causes me to think twice about my future releases.

Here were the thoughts running through my head:

How do I protect my future releases? I'm now working on the 3rd book in the Threesome series. What if I release the third book only to be ripped off a day after its release? (happens to another friend) How do I prevent that from happening?

And the clincher:

Maybe I should sell to a bigger publisher who'll charge a hefty price for the book, but who cares, at least I get decent royalties!!

I didn't have these thoughts before, naïve that I was. I just happily wrote and submitted my book for publication, believing I would earn my fair (if low) share.

Decent royalties, that's all any author is after. We don't ask for more, but only what's due to us--Fair and just compensation for our work.

If you want authors to continue writing, please support them by buying their books. Thank you!


After this experience, my view of the world is now not so rosy, for I've been touched by "evil". Okay, that's too dramatic. Maybe "touched by villainy" would be more appropriate. I've been rethinking my goals, and maybe it's time to work harder and try for the brass ring.

To my loyal fans, especially of the Threesome series, rest assured: The 3rd and 4th books in the series will continue to be released at low prices in due time. Thank you for your support!

Jovan took his arm and urged him into a brisk walk. “You can’t just stop like that; your heart needs time to wind down.” He slid his hand down Trey’s arm and entwined their fingers.

 

Trey’s galloping heart speeded up again, and it was all due to the warmth of Jovan’s hand in his, the heat of his body pressed against his. They’d held hands before, but their fingers had never been interlaced nor palm to palm. The darkening sky thickened the atmosphere of intimacy building between them.

 

Despite his best efforts, he winced when Jovan squeezed his hand.

 

“What’s the matter?” Jovan immediately stopped and examined Trey’s reddened hand. “I knew something like this would happen.” His tone was angry, but the fingers caressing the welts on Trey’s hands were soft and gentle. “I don’t know what your fool of a father is thinking, sending you to the smithy when you’re already earning your keep with sales from your cakes and cookies.”

 

“Baking is for girls,” Trey repeated in his father’s growl, bitterness lacing the words. “He said I’m a man, so I should learn about iron and metal, not flour and eggs.” He glanced at his hands.

 

“Like I said, he’s a fool.” Jovan reached into his pocket and brought out a small tube.

 

“What’s that?” Trey asked, curious.

 

“Something for you.” Jovan removed the stopper and slipped it back into his pocket. “Hold out your hand.”

 

Cream. Even as Jovan squeezed and a transparent blob spurted out, Trey knew the ointment was for his wounds. Something shifted within him. No one since his mother had taken care of him like this.

Coming Soon: Secret of the Wolf

More on Threesome series Part 2

Good news to those who'd like to see more of Cara and her guys (Threesome Play)! There may be a novella spin-off from the next book. So...here's what I have for titles:

Book 1: Threesome Interlude
Book 2: Threesome Play
Book 3: Threesome for Keeps (working title)
Book 4: Threesome Forever (working title) - Cara and her guys

I'm writing Threesome for Keeps now, which will share some common events with Threesome Forever. These two may be released back to back.

Stay tuned!

More on the Threesome series

The third book in the series, as I've mentioned in several posts back, feature Emily, Lynne's (from book 1, Threesome Interlude) assistant. What I didn't know when I was plotting her story was that Lynne would end up playing a part!

Yes, we get to see what happens to her and Mark after that fortuitous elevator ride. Suffice it to say, I'm having fun writing this story. It promises to be longer than the first two books combined, with more developed characters and story arc.

But before that, I'm undergoing edits for my next release, a paranormal shifter story entitled Secret of the Wolf. I hope to have a cover to show you soon.

Wicked Pleasures series

A little note on the Wicked Pleasures series:

The books in this series are all about women having fun discovering their sexuality. Along the way, they also find romance and the love/s of their lives.

The books are a continuing series, i.e. the timeline of the series moves. This means you will continue to see previous characters in later books as they handle the ups and downs of their relationships. That said, I have tried to make the books as stand alone as possible.

Book 1: Sun, Sand and Sexy Bodies
Book 2: To Sir, With Love (in progress)

Chance to win lots of awesome prizes!

I am giving away a copy of Threesome Interlude in this event!

Plus, there are 400 over other prizes to be won! Grand Prize - $100 GC!

Awesome way to spend the evenings in March, in my opinion.

Oh, and here's where the party is taking place: http://www.theromancereviews.com/event.php

Sun, Sand and Sexy Bodies

All Rights Reserved

“I’ve got a yummy idea.”

Grace didn’t trust the gleam in Lyla’s sea-green eyes.

“We’re twenty-five, ladies, it’s a milestone in our lives.” Lyla, being the youngest, was qualified to make the statement.  “But have we done anything to put a mark on it? Have we done anything crazy that will make us look back with fondness fifty, sixty years from now? Something we can giggle over during our monthly reunions when we’re dangling our grandchildren on our knees?”

“How about the time we joined the swimming marathon when only one of us can truly swim?” Kinsey Hope asked, a smile lifting the corners of her generous mouth.

Piper laughed. “Yup, that’s funny all right. I think Coach Madison wanted to strangle each one of us when we finally completed all the laps.”

“He wouldn’t dare,” Grace said drily, remembering the prank. “Not with the thunderous applause and cheers from the student body.”

Lyla snorted. “Everyone just wanted to get on to the awarding ceremony and the party afterwards. Okay, I’ll grant you it’s crazy, since it was my idea. But we didn’t do it in our twenty-fifth year, so it doesn’t count. C’mon, girls, how about something truly, really crazy for this year?”

“Okay, birthday girl, spill,” Kinsey ordered. “What do you have in mind?”

“How about sex in dangerous places?”

A collective gasp, then hoots of laughter emerged, drawing looks from the other diners.

Lyla loved sex—okay, they all did—but the idea was not only crazy but dangerous. Oh right, wasn’t that one of the criteria?

“Like Afghanistan?” Kinsey queried.

Grace couldn’t believe her friends were seriously considering it.

“No, no. We don’t want to lose our lives over it, when we have many more years of sexing to go. Not ‘dangerous’ per se, but unusual, meaning not in the bedroom,” Lyla explained, warming to her topic. “Like…the park. Or the movie theater. Or…c’mon ladies, some suggestions here!”

“Horseback?” queried Piper.

“Good!” Lyla crowed. “Didn’t know you have it in you.”

Piper made a face. “Read it in a book once. The heroine felt all kinds of delicious sensations…or so the author said.”

“Maybe you can find out for us.” Kinsey giggled.

“Well, I’d have to learn how to ride a horse first—”

“Isn’t that like riding Flynn?” Grace cut in, all solemn and serious.

Flynn Michaels was Piper’s longtime boyfriend.

Shocked splutters, before laughter rang out from Kinsey and Lyla. Soon, even red-faced Piper joined them. Lyla gasped. “You go, girl!”

Grace beamed, her smile spreading from one side of her face to the other. Her friends thought her conservative, and maybe she was, but she could dish it out like the best of them. She didn’t do it often though, because she liked to shock them every once in a while.

“While you’re on a roll,” Lyla continued, “why don’t you give me one?”

A news article in today’s papers gave her an idea. “Hot air balloon?”

Lyla nodded slowly. “Not bad. Has potential. Though you might be roped into doing a threesome with the balloon operator.” She snickered. “I know the perfect location for you—the library.”

No way. She’d never be able to study there again without remembering the sweaty adventure. What if she got caught? Her library privileges may get suspended and she couldn’t afford it, not right now when she just had one more year to go on her graduate studies.

“You’re forgetting one thing, Ly,” Grace spoke, caught up in the idea but not wanting to abandon being the voice of reason yet. Or maybe it was her conservative side acting up. “Only Piper has a boyfriend she can rope into this mad scheme.”

Lyla laughed outright. “You don’t need a boyfriend, Grace, just a man. Or two.”

A tremor Grace couldn’t control coursed through her body. She did in fact know just a man. Or two.

Did she dare? The wine was certainly making her think things she wouldn’t consider otherwise.

Coming Soon and WIP

Coming Soon

Sun, Sand and Sexy Bodies - will start off a new series entitled Wicked Pleasures. The theme of this series is having sex in dangerous...er, intriguing places. Well, certainly not places that are the norm! In time, I'm going to run a contest on this, but never mind that for now.

In the first book, you guessed it, we're having sex on the beach! Not the drink, but the actual sex. Oh, not me, but the characters. Oh, well, I guess you'll just have to read it for yourself. :)

This series is not erotica, but erotic romance, as we follow the lives of four friends who decide to be adventurous. Along the way, they find obstacles and conflicts and other things fate throws at them. All on the course to true love.

Secret of the Wolf - I decided to be adventurous myself and write in a genre other than contemporary. I love shifters, and I hope that shows in this book.


WIP

Threesome series - The 3rd book (novella) will feature Lynne's assistant, Emily. Lynne is having her engagement party (gasp!) to which she invited Emily, who then met a yummy guy (who propositioned her, which she declined), who in turn was the lover of this guy she had a crush on in university! What a tangled mess and more in the last book in the Threesome trilogy.

Men of Fortune series - I'm stuck a bit on Adam's story, but hope to get unstuck soon. Cranking my creative juices by doing other things for awhile, like reading, writing other stories, etc.


Oh, one more thing of note that happened: My friend Jenna tried to get me to switch over to WordPress, but I stuck to my guns. Love me Blogger! :) And unless you buy the upgrades, WordPress is a tad limiting for me.

Anyway, Jenna has a new cover up for her next release, so go over and admire it. If you love man candy, you'll like it.

Excerpt:

"Want me…?" Kyle gestured toward Max's tent pole.

Max shook his head. "Let's finish washing the car, then we can go in and play in earnest."

"You should've said so earlier," Kyle complained, drawing up his shorts and boxers in one go. "I would've washed faster."

"Not that you did a lot," Max said drily, pointedly looking at the unsoaped parts, which were all on Kyle's half of the car.

"I did say those neighborhood kids would be handy," Kyle muttered, picking up his sponge from the floor—he didn't even remember dropping it—and swiping at the car as he went back. "Especially that hot blonde next door."

"Hot blonde?" Max's brows were raised. "Would she be giving the car or you a hand?"

Kyle grinned, unrepentant. "I'd prefer her mouth, or her tight, wet sheath."

"I wouldn't know about tight or wet, but she is hot," Max remarked.

Kyle grinned even wider as he applied himself to the car, his mind happily occupied with thoughts of long, tanned legs, a tiny waist and generous breasts that would fill his hands. Now, if only said hot blonde would sashay her sweet ass over to their place, Kyle's day would be complete.

Thank goodness he and Max share the same tastes in women.

"Hey," a female voice called from the direction of the gate. "Need any help?"

Kyle's ears registered Max's wolf whistle, but his eyes could barely take in the sight. It was Hot Blonde.

Someone up there was listening to him.

Up close, Hot Blonde was way hotter. Her long, tanned legs seemed longer, but that could be because of the short shorts she was wearing, shorts that were frayed at the hem and that emphasized her slim thighs and legs. A delicious expanse of tanned midriff was exposed by the light polo shirt she was wearing, the ends of which she'd tied under her breasts. Was she tanned all over? Did she sunbathe in the nude?

Wild thoughts tangled up his tongue, and that was before he lifted his gaze further and zoomed in on her face. The symmetry of her features lent her a pretty look, but it was her bright, blue eyes that dominated her face. They bored into his own green ones, slamming into him with their intelligence and directness.

"I thought I'd be neighborly and welcome you to town. However, I'm not much of a cook, so instead of bringing a casserole, I decided to offer my services." White teeth flashed. "I'm pretty good with…"—Did he imagine the slight pause that was somehow filled with innuendo? Or was that only him?—"…my hands."

Excerpt:
 
"Hey there, gorgeous."
 
A voice from the doorway drew my gaze away from the mirror, where I'd been admiring myself in my wedding dress. It belonged to my childhood best friend, David, and the sight of his ruggedly attractive face—and those frank, very blue eyes that could see straight to my soul—sent my heart thudding and my blood boiling. It had been that way for me since I was eighteen, when he'd kissed me for the first time under the mistletoe. But I had a great boyfriend then, my now-fiancé Ryan, whom I loved very much. So, I shoved those feelings aside, determined to keep David in the BFF box.
 
Now that I'm getting married, my perspective changed. I was resolved to deal with those unwanted feelings and get them out of the way in preparation for my married life.
 
"David!" I shrieked, launching myself into his arms.
 
He laughed as he hugged me. "Careful, or you'll ruin this dress."
 
I grinned up at him. "It's okay. Daddy will get me another one."
 
"Still the spoiled little rich girl, huh?" He tousled my hair affectionately.
 
I wrinkled my nose at him. "Daddy loves me."
 
"And you're his only daughter."
 
I laughed. "There's that. I'm so glad you can come."
David had been stationed in Singapore by his company for the past three years and only came home occasionally due to the long distance he needed to travel. I always thought he'd bring back an Asian bride on one of his trips home, but so far, that hadn't happened yet.
 
"What's a wedding without your best friend, huh?" He winked. "Stand back and let me look at you."
 
I took several steps back in the small dressing room at my father's house. It was the afternoon before the wedding, and friends and family who were to be at the rehearsal dinner were congregating in the living room, where my parents were entertaining them.
 
Though there was nothing remotely sexual in David's gaze as he surveyed me from head to toe, desire pooled in my belly and my aroused nipples poked through the thin bodice. The upper part of the gown molded to my body, and my breasts were full enough that I didn't need a bra to give it justice. His gaze sharpened when he reached my chest, but other than that, his expression remained one of smiling pride and joy for me.
 
For the first time since I firmed my resolve, I had doubts. Could I do it? Could I seduce my best friend into having sex with me? What if he was unaffected by me? Yet, there was that kiss…
 
"Ryan is a lucky groom," he said when he met my eyes. His hoarse voice gave me hope. As did the slight tent in his trousers.

My New Year's Resolution

I gotta be better at blogging. Seriously.

Or at least updating my blog with my books. I can't believe I haven't added the two books that have been pubbed since.

Or updates to the WIP!

No wonder no one has followed me yet. That's because there'd be nothing to follow. LOL

Happy New Year!!

It's going to be an amazing year. I can tell. ;p
