Today I have opened my blog to my very first guest Tatum Throne
Today is a special day for Tatum because it is release day for her latest book Stolen Moment. I really love the cover, Tatum. It’s very sensual and erotic, and having just read the excerpt the premise of the story sounds very intriguing and HOT! I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of Tatum in the future. I love paranormal books. There’s an excerpt below to tempt you. Now I’ll hand over to Tatum ~
Excited Waves Thank you Jan for having me on your blog. I’m Tatum Throne, author of erotic, contemporary and paranormal M/F and M/M romance. I’m a stay at home mom of three school aged boys, all three have severe food allergies. I worked for years as a social worker before leaving the field to be a mom and full-time writer.
Q. Tell us about your latest book.
A. Stolen Moment [Enslaved & Enticed 1] is a M/F erotic paranormal set within the backdrop of Cincinnati and the first in a series about cursed objects. Each book centers around one cursed object and the group that hunts them. The first book follows a pendant that makes the wearer equally murderous and sexually excited. The second book, that I’m working on now, follows a cuff.
Q. What makes a great hero?
A. For me, a great hero is one that isn’t willing to give up on the heroine. He’ll go to hell and back for the woman he loves. He’s strong and follows his heart. Of course, he’s sexy, but flawed like the rest of us. He’s perfect for my heroine and isn’t looking for love when it finds him. He’s totally off his game when he meets the love of his life.
Q. Do you have anything in common with your characters?
A. I’m sassy and mouthy like my heroines. I have a wicked sense of humor and I love to laugh. I’m strong-willed and I don’t like the word NO. My characters are a lot like me. We’re feisty.
Q. What are you currently working on, or what’s on the horizon?
A. The cursed objects series will have many more books as long as Siren wants them. I’m also working on a series of fire fighter M/M stories. High Heat will be coming out in October. I hope to sell it as a series to Siren. You’ll often find elements of forced seduction, spanking, and panty play in my novels.
Q. What’s the strangest (bravest, funniest etc) thing you’ve ever done?
A. I once snuck into a bar when I was underage to see this band I wanted to see. It was a bar/Laundromat and I went in through the back of the Laundromat. I was fifteen at the time and ran into one of my brother’s friends. He totally wanted to rat me out. I don’t think he ever did. My brother never said a word. I was a bit of a wild child. I ran around a lot with older friends who kept me out late.
Q. What do you do when you’re not writing?
A. I love to workout, hike, play with the guys, and visit with friends when I’m not working. I work a ton, so it’s often a challenge to balance work/life/family.
Q. How can you fans find you on the net?
A. I have three books out on Amazon now, One Hot Night, Hot & Humid, and Rock Hard. I’m on twitter. You can also find me on Facebook. I love hearing from my readers. You can email me at: tatumthrone@gmail.com.

Story Excerpt: Stolen Moment [Enslaved & Enticed 1]
Rylie Sawyer wasn’t a thief, but she was about to become one.
Her heart hammered as she stared at the pendant through the downtown store window. She was the archeologist that unearthed it in Jordan a year ago. The window vibrated as though it were alive. Rylie reached out and smoothed her fingers across the silky, wet glass. A shiver whispered across Rylie’s chilled skin. She smoothed the wetness between her fingers. It felt like her honey spreading over a man’s cock.
The sound of Cincinnati’s evening commute faded to a low rumble in the background. You’re mine.
The ruby’s deadly power to seduce was its charm, its envy. Even now, Rylie could feel the undercurrent taunt her closer. The force was so strong it had her opening the door to the high-end jewelry store.
Warmth blew down from the heating vent.
Everything came into sharp focus. She remembered the first time she put the pendant on. She had an orgasm as soon as the stone settled between the nook between her breasts.
She licked her lips nervously as her nipples tightened into aroused, sensitive peaks from the memory. She was going to steal it tonight.
A shot of adrenaline pumped through her body. Rylie’s light-blue irises caressed the bloodred ruby pendant. Light caught the sparkling gem and danced. Diamonds circled the ruby and flounced romantically up the chain.
It was a mistake to go inside before a robbery. She’d be captured on their surveillance cameras. A worker took the pendant from the locked case and brought it to a private table for a couple to see.
Rylie took two steps toward that table before she stopped short. Fear raced over her skin. They were going to buy it before she had a chance to take it. Fuck me.
Darkness clung to the piece. The piece wanted to find another victim. The curse was still alive, and it knew she was here. Its power to allure was an intoxicating, sexual rush like no other Rylie had ever experienced. Even knowing what it was, she wasn’t immune to the power it had.
She headed toward the case nearest the pendant. A flutter rippled over her skin as she moved. Rylie glanced over her shoulder and saw a man standing at the end of the case. He was watching her closely. Their gazes locked. Surprise filtered through his gaze before he shut it down.
Another shiver moved through her body. It was as though she knew him intimately and always had. Who was he?

Hi, Jan…and welcome, Tatum…
I'm thrilled to see that you're having guest bloggers, and I'm glad to meet you, Tatum.
My taste does not normally venture into the paranormal, but I like the "hook" you 've developed for your books, the "cursed object." You've hit on a unique, interesting subject area. Best of luck!
Nice to meet you, Erin. Thanks for having me today, Jan! I'm super excited to be here. 😀
Welcome, Tatum,
I hope this helps get your books out there!
Hi, Erin
Thanks for coming by. I needed a little push, and Tatum was just the lady to do it!
I think I will open the blog to more guests, because I really enjoyed finding out about a new author.

Thank you for the opportunity to hop across the pond for the day. I feel very honored to be your first guest!

Murderous AND sexually excited, eh! Can't wait to read it, sweetie, but STOP bringing books out so quickly. I can't keep up with you!
Wishing you as many sales as the lovely Jan gets.

Sorry, that was me, Jennifer Denys, making that last comment. I forgot I'm on an old machine that doesn't allow me to log in with google profile!
Hi, Jen
I thought that was you.

Hi Tatum, looks like a highly erotic and exciting read!
I know this is a dumb question to some, however… what is 'panty play'?
Hi Savanna, thanks! My heroines sometimes get pleasured by the hero with their panties. 😉
Have a great weekend!

Hi Tatum
This looks like a great read – I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the 50 Shades stuff but at least it's bringing the genre to the masses.
Great Work
