Call for Submissions~Chicken Soup for the Soul: Home Sweet Home

I'm trying to convince my baby sister to write a story for this one.  As I've mentioned to @CJLemire, this is the kid who packs by saying, "Oops, I'm supposed to move today" and throwing all her personal belongings in the back of her 1990-something station wagon.  She has some of the most hilarious moving stories I've ever heard.  Well, not just "heard"... I participated in a few of them.  My part usually involved carrying mattresses.  (I'm little, but I'm strong)

Anyhoo, here's the call...

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Home Sweet Home101 Stories about Hearth, Happiness, and Hard Work

"Aim low. Aim so low that no one will even care if you succeed." -Marge Simpson

If you follow Alison Tyler on Twitter, you'll have noticed she's got a campaign going to sell 50,000 copies of her ebook "Banging Rebecca."



Well, I'm not half that confident, but I am somewhat inspired. That's why I'm starting my own campaign to sell 50 copies of my ebook "Stripping My Son's Sleeping Girlfriend." 

Remember, this book has been BANNED BY AMAZON, so you won't find it there.  You will, however, find it on sale until Friday of this week at All Romance eBooks for the low, low price of only $0.99: https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-strippingmyson039ssleepinggirlfriend-1253875-356.html

50 copies. That sounds achievable, right?  Achievable, in an "aim so low that no one will even care if you succeed" sort of way.

Got a buck? Buy some smut: https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-strippingmyson039ssleepinggirlfriend-1253875-356.html Giselle Renarde

Into the Woods (and out of the woods, and home before all hell breaks loose)

Do you love Sondheim?  I do.  Into the Woods is the bestest musical ever.

Is this just random blathering?  Has Giselle lost her mind?

Yes and no. 

In case you were wondering where I've been (do you miss me when I'm gone?), I spent last week in the woods.  No electricity, no cell reception, no internet, no showers.  I was totally and utterly unavailable.  It was goooood.  Well, aside from the fact that it was fucking FREEZING in Northern(ish) Ontario and my poor little tent got soaked two nights in a row.  None of that stuff's really a big deal.  I can take it.  I love the woods.

So, when I got back from the woods I discovered that Amazon's been a bastard again.  After banning two of my last three releases (Stripping My Son's Sleeping Girlfriend and Adam and Sheree's Family Vacation), they were reluctant to allow the re-release of my beautiful trans lesbian romance Friday Night Lipstick. Because it used to be available. From a publisher that went out of business. 

If I knew how to do stuff, I'd create a gif of Nelson Muntz saying "Stop Plagiarizing Yourself" and put it right here.

But everything finally seems to be under control, and Friday Night Lipstick is now available from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lipstick-Transgender-Lesbian-Romance-ebook/dp/B00EH4BBGW/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1376794433&sr=1-1&keywords=friday+night+lipstick

It's a lovely little story. Makes me cry every time I read it. You should buy a copy. It's good.

In other musical-related news, also while I was in the woods, an anthology called HIS: Manlove Edition came out.  I'm mentioning it in this post because my story involves a former theatre student hooking up with his high school dance teacher.

The Evernight anthology is all about gay alpha guys and older/younger pairings and BDSM... I'll put up a more thorough post about the antho later in the week, but I see that it's selling well at evil Amazon, so you probably know all about it already: http://www.amazon.com/His-Manlove-Edition-ebook/dp/B00EK6K758/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1376797131&sr=1-1&keywords=his+manlove+edition

See?  Sondheim and camping and a new release blocked by Amazon and another release selling like crazy on Amazon and a musical theatre student/teacher relationship.  We've come full circle... into the woods and out of the woods and home before...

Bet I Can Make You Cry (Friday Night Lipstick is Back!)

Remember a trans lesbian novelette I wrote called Friday Night Lipstick?  

No?  

Good!  

Friday Night Lipstick went off the market in June (previously published by loveyoudivine Alterotica), but it's back now.  If you didn't read it the first time around, here's your chance.  And, trust me: don't pass this one up.  A lesbian erotic romance about transgender women in the 50+ age bracket is pretty darn rare.  

I don't write a lot of achingly sweet HEA romance, but this story makes me cry every time I read it.  Honestly: I have NEVER made it through the final chapter without shedding a few tears.  I root like hell for these characters.  They deserve all the happiness in the world.
Overview When Layla and Bernice first met, they'd never heard the word "transgender." Back then, they thought of themselves as cross-dressers and frequented gay clubs together.

Twenty years later, Layla is a glamorous and successful real estate agent living as a woman full-time. Repressed Bernice is still married to a woman who won't let go of the husband Bernice used to be. She spends her lonely nights dreaming of a life with lovely Layla.

While Bernice is trapped in a hopeless relationship, Layla seems perfectly content hopping from bed to bed. On Friday night, when their facades break down, will these long-time friends finally admit their love for one another?

And even if they do, how will married Bernice and swinging single Layla build a future together?

WARNINGS: This transgender love story contains explicit erotic language and graphic sex.

Word Count: 14,000


EXCERPT:

There was nothing to say.

There was only the kiss.

For the first time in their twenty-year friendship, Bernice pressed her lips against Layla’s. Layla went one step further, parting Bernice’s teeth. Beyond its sheer strength, that tongue was warm and wet and soft as velvet.

Layla’s kisses matched the vivacity of her character, but there was a delicacy to every moment that Bernice hadn’t anticipated. Really, she never thought this day would come. She’d hoped to kiss Layla, dreamed of it, and now it was happening. Her unnamed wants all sprung to the surface, though she’d cast them aside in her hopeless hours. In the passion and tenderness of this kiss, Bernice saw her future. And it was beautiful.

As they stumbled to Rosanna’s sofa, Bernice peeled the straps from Layla’s shoulders, letting her skimpy dress fall to her waist. Without waiting, without asking permission, Bernice latched on to Layla’s beckoning breasts.

Layla gasped when Bernice pressing both tits together. She’d spent so many lonely nights dreaming of this in bed, dreaming of the woman she loved. She loved. She switched nipples and Layla writhed against her face, moaning, “Yes Bebe, yes doll.”

Bernice pressed her face to those beautiful breasts. Oh, they were so much softer than she’d imagined. She couldn’t control herself, running her tongue from nipple to nipple, licking, sucking, biting, making Layla squeal.

Hiking up her skirt, Layla hooked her thumbs around her black gaff. Bernice’s breath caught in her lungs. She backed off, giving the woman room to wriggle out of those tight-fitting undergarments. Her heart hammered as they slid down Layla’s thighs.

“What’s wrong, doll?” Layla’s copper dress hung over her crotch as she kicked off her underwear. Bernice looked into her eyes and found them full of concern. “If it’s too fast, or if you don’t want to…”

“No.” At her age, Bernice felt embarrassed admitting to her inexperience. “I’m nervous, if you can believe it. I’ve just… I’ve never done this before.”

With a loving chuckle, Layla leaned forward to plant a kiss on Bernice’s cheek. “You sound like a teenager.”

“I know.” Bernice smirked. “I guess that makes you a cradle-robber.”

Layla rolled her eyes.

“Cougar?”

“Hardly.” Laughing, she said, “You’re older than I am.”

“Don’t remind me.” Bernice gazed into the valley of Layla’s thighs, and the darkness beyond. God, why was she so afraid? Maybe because Layla had been with so many men, women, people, who probably had university degrees in cocksucking. What did Bernice know about giving a blow job?

But Layla hadn’t loved those other people. And she loved Bernice. That was the difference.

There was nothing to be afraid of.
Editorial Reviews Bending the Bookshelf - Sally: There is a very real emotional connection there that adds significance to the physical coupling [...] I will refrain from saying anything further, for fear of spoiling the magic, but you know with Giselle that there is a happily ever after in the offering. The way in which she wraps up all the threads of the story is quite beautiful, and if you don't shed a tear or two of happiness before the end, it's likely only because you're exhausted from sharing in their pleasure.

New #Lesbian #BDSM Audiobook: Saturday on a Tuesday

Office workers after hours. Coffee-coated boobs. Belts and bondage and spankings, oh my!

"Saturday on a Tuesday" has got everything you're looking for in a lesbian sex-at-work BDSM story.  Originally published in the "Smut in the City" anthology edited by Lucy Felthouse and Victoria Blisse, it's now available as a standalone audiobook!

Junior lawyer Liddy's ex-girlfriend called her a Saturday Night Lesbian--a woman who acts straight during the week and only gives in to temptation at the weekend. When Gemma, a partner at the firm, finds the young woman in the lunchroom after hours, she uses her hand, her belt, and a tray of ice cubes to help Liddy prove she can get crazy any night of the week. 

Read a Sample:

“I hope you wore pleasing panties today,” Gemma said, pushing her voice into a lower register, making it boom and reverberate throughout the kitchen. “I don’t want to be disappointed by a ratty pair of undies when I lift this skirt.”

“You won’t be disappointed, ma’am.” Liddy wiggled her bum, beckoning Gemma’s advance. “I think you’re really going to like my pretty panties.”

Gemma lifted that grey woollen skirt, and what she found underneath pleased her immensely. Liddy’s panties were pink. Hot pink, and mesh with a rhumba ruffle on the derriere.

“Do you?” Liddy begged. “Do you like my panties, ma’am?”

“Very much so.”

“I like them too, ma’am. They feel wonderful against my skin.” She turned enough that Gemma could see the splashes of creamy coffee against her pale flesh. When she arched up, droplets fell from her hard nipples and splashed against the table. “Did you want to feel my panties against your palm, ma’am?”

Gemma’s heart palpitated, but her hand remained steady. She accepted Liddy’s invitation, smacking the girl’s ass. Those hot pink rhumba ruffles fluttered as the blow landed, and Liddy yelped. She slid across the table when Gemma spanked her again, knocking the coffee mug to the floor. When it shattered, she cried, “I’m sorry! I’ll clean it!”

“Not just yet,” Gemma insisted, tearing down Liddy’s pretty panties.

#MySexySaturday Banned By Amazon!

I called it.

Remember yesterday when I announced the re-release of my lesbian MILF smut, Stripping My Son's Sleeping Girlfriend?  And remember how I said it wasn't live at Amazon yet, but I'd give you the link if they didn't ban my book?  I guess I knew, in my heart, how this would go...

BANNED BY AMAZONThey banned my book.

Le sigh.

I have to shake my head, because Stripping My Son's Sleeping Girlfriend was a hot seller at Amazon when it was first on the market (the publisher went out of business, hence the re-release) and that was only .
a couple months ago.

Anyway, after that extended preamble, welcome to My Sexy Saturday--a weekly blog hop where authors share 7 words or sentences or paragraphs from their hot reads!

So, what do 7 paragraphs from a book banned by Amazon (about a mom stripping her son's girlfriend while she's asleep in his bed) sound like?

Like this:

I couldn’t expose her mound completely, but I did manage to shift the fabric enough to find skin. Kali’s pussy was so soft.  I couldn’t get over it.  My fingers parted her smooth lips, and the flesh inside was so hot and so wet it seemed to suck me inside.  She moaned as I slipped one finger into her juicy cunt.  My heart jumped.  I was sure she’d open her eyes, see me there, and scream her pretty little head off.
But she didn’t open her eyes, and she didn’t scream.  Her voice was muffled by the pillow, but I distinctly heard her mumble, “Suck my tits, baby.”
Did she think I was Darin?  The idea made my stomach flop, but I was too driven to stop.  She moaned as I ripped off her top, then rolled her onto her back.  Her hair spread across her face like a curtain.  It covered her eyes, and the fact that she couldn’t see me made me feel bold.  I lunged at her chest, bringing her sweet nipple between my lips.  It felt hard as a pebble.  I held it gently with my teeth, and teased it with my tongue.
I’d never done anything like this before, but that didn’t damage my confidence.  Once I started sucking Kali’s tits, I felt like I’d been doing it my whole life.  Her breasts felt warm and wonderful against my face, like two matching cushions.  I couldn’t decide which one I liked better.
My middle finger moved in Kali’s cunt while I suckled her tits.  I’d imagined her pussy just right—it was sopping wet and tight as anything.  Her keen muscles clamped on a second finger.  Her flesh fluttered as I fucked her.  She writhed on the bed, forcing her tits against my face.  Her skin tasted like scotch and salt.  I was addicted from the very first lick.
“Do my pussy,” Kali mumbled into her arm.  “Suck my clit.  I want to come.”
Did she know it was me?

The MILF is back: Stripping My Son's Sleeping Girlfriend

Happy Friday to All!

Cover by Dawne DominiqueIn case you haven't heard, my smut-tastic story about a mom "seducing" (if you can call it that) the girl who's asleep in her son's bed is back in print! Well, not PRINT print.  Back in e-print, I should say. 

I was so disappointed when this title's original publisher went out of business, because it was a best-seller at many retailers at that time.  In its first month, it outsold all other titles at its original publishing house, which is unheard of because most of their releases were M/M.  For F/F to outsell M/M in this market... well, you know that's not usually how it goes.

In this new edition, I've also added a BONUS lesbian threesome story you might like.  It's about a lesbian couple hiring a hooker to spice up their sex life.  Actually, the heroines in both "Stripping my Son's Sleeping Girlfriend" and bonus feature "And Kimi Makes Three" are all Cougars with a taste for pussy:

Darin's mom can't stand her son’s sexy new girlfriend. Kali parades around the house in see-through blouses and skimpy skirts, showing off her thong with every bend. That raunchy girl turns her stomach... until the morning she finds Kali passed out alone in Darin's bed. Asleep, Kali doesn't seem so bad. In fact, Mama can't resist getting a closer look! Will her son's sleeping girlfriend wake up to a screaming orgasm, or screaming bloody murder?

An erotic lesbian MILF story.

Plus a BONUS lesbian threesome short! Miranda and Jody spice up their sex life by bringing home a hot young Asian escort. Why don’t more lesbian couples hire hookers for a night of nude oral?

WARNINGS: This erotic short story contains explicit lesbian sex between a hungry cougar and her son’s sleeping girlfriend.

Word Count: 8,000

Excerpt:Kali was a lazy, good-for-nothing slut.

Maybe every mother thinks her son's girlfriends are trouble, but Kali seemed to go out of her way to prove me right. She wore sheer tops I could see her bra right through, and skimpy little skirts. Every time she bent over, she gave me a good look at her ass crack and her skanky thong.

I hoped my boy would get bored with her. I hoped she would just go away.

But no.

More and more, Kali was spending nights at our house. Darin's room was all the way at the other end of the hall, and still I could hear them fucking at two in the morning. I had to wear earplugs just so I wouldn't have to hear that little bitch crying out, "Yes, baby! Fuck my ass! Give it to me, hard!"

Everything about her turned my stomach.

And then, one Saturday night, the pair of them came stumbling home at three in the morning, crashing around downstairs, getting on my last nerve. I tore a strip off Darin because he was supposed to work his restaurant job the next morning. How the hell did he expect to function when he'd been out drinking all night?

I don't remember half of what I said, but Darin gave as good as he got. Kali was smart enough to keep her mouth shut. She was probably trying not to puke.

In the morning, I had to drag Darin out of bed. From the looks of it, they'd been so drunk they'd collapsed, side by side, on top of the covers. They were both fully dressed.

After I'd pushed Darin out the door, I went about my Sunday morning chores, trying to make enough noise to drive Kali out of my goddamn house. I even vacuumed right outside Darin's bedroom, but Kali just buried her head in the pillow.

When she rolled over, something else happened, too--her short skirt flipped, revealing the gentle swell of her beautiful, bare butt.

My breath caught in my throat because, my god, her ass was perfect. I shouldn't have been staring. She was my son's girlfriend, after all… but, hell, it was my house! And yes the girl drove me crazy, but I couldn't take my eyes off her naked lower half. Well, she still had her strappy stilettoes on her feet, but aside from that, she was largely nude. Was she even wearing underwear?

I crept closer to the bed to get a look. Between her legs, I could just see the silky gusset of a little red thong. It amazed me how un-hairy she was. She must have had one of those bikini waxes… what were they called? Bermuda? Barbados? No, wait--Brazilian…

We never did that sort of thing, when I was her age. We didn't even trim our bushes, back then.

I wondered, what did it feel like?

New Vendor for #Taboo #Erotica

Remember when Adam and Sheree's Family Vacation first hit the market and I told you it had been banned by Amazon? And All Romance... and BookStrand... and the list goes on...?

Yeah, it ain't easy to find retailers willing to carry hardcore taboo erotica.  Put a brother and a sister together at their grandmother's cottage, make the writing dirty as fuck, and suddenly nobody wants to know you!  I'm calling it Flowers in the Attic for the next generation. I've never actually read Flowers in the Attic but... I've heard things...

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that Adam and Sheree's Family Vacation has found itself a new retailer: TabooReading.com. 

Here's the direct link: http://www.tabooreading.com/ebooks/b6244-adam-and-sherees-family-vacation.htm

Brilliant Idea! Review Copies of "Catering to the Masses"

What makes this such a brilliant idea?  I've never offered review copies to the general public before, but it's not like I'm reinventing the wheel, here.  Authors give out review copies all the time.

If you're not sure what I mean by "review copies," I'm talking about you receiving a free book in exchange for an open and transparent review posted on Amazon or Barnes & Noble (or both, and you can post it on your own blog or on Goodreads, or wherever else you'd like to post it).

Here's what makes this one a little different:

If you follow the politics of M/M romance review sites, you're probably aware of a certain notorious site that shall remain unnamed. This very popular site not only implemented transphobic regulations (they refuse to review gay romances that contain trans men), but every other week I seem to hear about them blogging off on weird transphobic rants.

Let me be clear about one little thing: I don't follow the politics of romance reviews sites. At all.  Particularly not M/M review sites, since I write very little gay romance.  But there's been so much anti-vagina, anti-trans bullshit spouted from this site that it's been impossible to ignore.

So...

My gay erotic romance Wedding Heat: Catering to the Masses happens to feature (take a guess) a trans guy!  Actually, he identifies as 2-Spirit.  But that doesn't help because he still has one of them pussy things certain reviewers seem so afraid of.

What's my brilliant idea? 

YOU be my willing reviewers.  YOU be my queer-friendly, LGBT (yes, the T means something!) trans guy short story reviewing squad.  Wedding Heat: Catering to the Masses is under 10,000 words, so it won't take you forever to read it.

And you don't write a thesis as your review.  Just a couple lines at Amazon or B&N will do.  More if you feel like it.

AND your review does not have to be glowing. It can be good, bad, meh, whatever--as long as you're sharing your honest impression of the work.  Love it, hate it, like it, have mixed feelings, just make sure to include in your review that you received a free copy of the e-book in exchange for your honest remarks.

Make sense?

Yes?

Good!

It just occurred to me that I should share Wedding Heat: Catering to the Masses' blurb so you can decide if it's a story you'd like to read:

Taylor’s never been one to bottle up his emotions. As an out, gay, twenty-three-year-old resort waiter, he’s tired of being told to “take it like a man” every time something upsets him. And Bill upsets him more than anything.

Yeah, sleeping with his married boss is a really bad idea, but Taylor can’t seem to stop. When Bill breaks another date, the only shoulder for Taylor to cry on belongs to his roommate and coworker, an aboriginal trans guy named Jordan.

Level-headed Jordan convinces him to work his shift, even after a blow-out with Bill the Bully, but all bets are off when Taylor reveals a secret his roommate’s not supposed to know.

Will the cater-waiters’ night of rebellion get them fired, or can they take down their big bad boss once and for all?

WARNINGS: This gay transgender love story contains explicit sex and rebellious romance.
