Today my guest blogger is Lynda Bailey! Welcome Lynda, you’ve been very busy lately with several books already published, and more to follow. Please tell us about your latest book ~ On the Corner of Heartache and Hopeful—KIRA.Thanks so much to Jan for letting me hang out here today!Q. Where did you get the idea for, On the Corner of Heartache and Hopeful—KIRA?  KIRA is the second novella in my anthology, Heartache and Hopeful. And to be completely honest, I don’t remember how or why the idea sprouted.  Heartache and Hopeful has been knocking around in my head for a number of years and I indie-pubbed the first story, MIC, last fall on Amazon. KIRA’s story morphed from a serious, miniature romantic suspense into a more fun, erotic romp.Q. Tell us a bit about the hero and heroine in, On the Corner of Heartache and Hopeful—KIRA. Kira is a spitfire heroine who knows what she wants and how she wants it. As the only child of a multi-mega millionaire, she turns away from her socialite life in Omaha, her overprotective father and her sizeable inheritance for the simple life in a rural Tatum, NE. She also believes she’s turning away from…

Today I have special guest and erotic author, Mamie Center. Mamie writes for Simon and  Schuster, and recently debuted with Hollywood Hook, an erotic tale focusing on the inner workings of Hollywood. Read on to find out more about this highly sensual story…Q. Where did you get the idea for Hollywood Hook? R. I’ve lived most of it. Seriously.  The more scandalous parts at least. When I moved to Hollywood, I was a lot like Jessica. I was the “best of the best” from my Podunk hometown and I moved to Los Angeles expecting to immediately “make it” like the thousands of other clueless young, beautiful, talented women. And Jacob is an amalgamation of several heavyweight producers whom I had to “accommodate” on my rise to the top. Q. Tell us a bit about the hero and heroine in, Hollywood Hook. R. Jessica is a naive actress who wants to make it big in Hollywood. She is talented and ambitious; however, soon realizes it is all who you know. Thomas Mansell is a big star who has been working since he was a child and is simply burnt out. The pair has incredible chemistry and have no idea they are just pawns…

Jan: Today I welcome back Erin O’Quinn, a writer of M/M, both historic and contemporary. I’m going to ask some questions about her newest book, called The Chase, and Erin has promised to answer with some sexy passages from her book. Hi, Erin. I see you have a new book in your “Noble Dimensions” series. Can you first tell us a little about the series? Erin: Jan, I’m really jazzed to be back on your blog! This series takes its name from a small town somewhere in Nevada that I call “Noble,” a name that’s a little ironic because Noble itself is run-down and nondescript. It’s actually no more than a half-way point for tourists traveling between Las Vegas and Reno. One of the characters notes that it lies between Big Daddy’s Pawn and the Fly By Night Motel. And yet more than a century before, around the time of the Civil war, this was a proud silver boom town thatprovided precious metal to the causeof the North during the war. Jan: I see on the cover that this is the second in a series. Is it a continuation of an earlier book? Erin: Not Really, Jan. A couple of…

Please make a warm welcome to my guest blogger, Samantha Kay.Hello and thank you Jan for this opportunity! I am a writer of M/M romance/contemporary/erotica -but I am very new to it! I’ve been writing for about a year, and self-published one book so far, though I have many other works in progress. Hopefully this year will entail me developing as a writer, and publishing a few more books! Q. Where did you get the idea for With Regret?Honestly? It literally just came out of nowhere! I just suddenly had this thought of writing about a couple going through a really emotional time, and went from there.Q. Tell us a bit about the hero and heroine in With Regret?Well, there’s Jacob, who’s sweet and loving, but sometimes annoyingly insecure and naïve. And then there’s Phil, who is…well…a bit of a sod really to say the least. He worships the ground Jacob walks on, but ends up hurting him badly by straying. There is more as to why Phil’s the way he is though, which is uncovered as the story progresses.  Q. What are you working on right now, and what can we expect from you next?I’m working on Part Two of With…

With a book published with Evernight Publishing and several more projects in the wings, we’re sure to hear a lot more from Piper in the coming months and years. Read on to find out more… Q. Where did you get the idea for, Twisted Cherry? I had been reading a friend of mine’s MM erotica and loved it. I wondered if it was something I’d be able to write. So with some encouragement to give it a try, I did. I love men with tattoos, so I thought why not combine the two together and see what happens. Twisted Cherry was the result. Q. Tell us a bit about the hero and heroine in, Twisted Cherry. Gabe is definite the hero. He’s the gentle giant type of character. Being a bad boy in nature, he’s the very sexy and owner of the tattoo parlor. He got the patience of an angel and he’s biggest and kindest heart in the world. He shows Evan that it’s okay to trust his innermost feelings and teaches him how to grow on that.Q. What are you working on right now, and what can we…

My guest blogger today is erotic romance author Nya Rawlyns. To my knowledge she has 10 books published with various publishers, including XOXO Publishing. Please read on and give a warm welcome to this highly creative writer.Q. Where did you get the idea for Acid Jazz Singer (Hunger Hurts)? I love stories about conflicted male characters, men with, shall we say … flexible moral codes who manage to do the right thing, sometimes in spite of themselves. They exist on the fringes of society, playing by their own rules. Combine that with the endless options of a paranormal ‘Verse and you have a recipe for high action, intense encounters and the kind of gritty, raw realism I dearly love.Q. Tell us a bit about the hero and heroine in Acid Jazz Singer (Hunger Hurts).Actually, what we have is hero and hero(ine). Let me explain. Travis McKenzie is a man with an uncertain lineage, adept at hunting the demons infesting Camden’s mean streets and protecting the only thing he cares about. That would be RayLee, the chief performer and owner of a club frequented by a clientele of whom nightmares are made. Travis and RayLee have a history, one that extends back…

Here is the 1st Chapter of Master and Inquisitor in its entirety. I hope you enjoy it. Master and Inquisitor is available from Bookstrand HERE MASTER AND INQUISITOR Masters of Submission 4 JAN BOWLES Copyright © 2013 Chapter OneBeth Beaumont curiously surveyed the imposing brick façade of the large building directly across the street. A pair of huge bronze ravens guarded the impressive entrance to the club. According to the whispers circulating Boston, Club Submission was the place to come for all shades of kink. Beth took a lungful of the early-morning air, savoring the moment as the wind rustled pleasantly through her long, blonde hair. It had been a while since she’d last explored and enjoyed the fetish scene. Now, her self-appointed three-year exile was about to come to an end, albeit on a partial basis, because she was here in a strictly professional capacity. Three years ago, she could never have imagined wanting to return to the hedonistic delights of the BDSM world, but time was a great healer, and now the draw was proving too strong. When she’d heard of a vacancy for a bar attendant in the exclusive private club, she’d been unable to resist the lure. Truth be…
