NEW Release ~ Master’s Email by Tonya Kinzer

Tonya Kinzer was interviewed for Inside the Author’s Mind in September of last year, and I’m proud to have her back.

She talks about writing in the BDSM world and has agreed to share a juicy interview she did with a Secret Admirer recently. Let’s join them as Tonya talks about her latest release – Master’s Email, and find out how you can win some great prizes too!

Eden, thank you for having me as your guest this week! I can’t wait to chat with your readers should they leave a comment below. Readers, be sure to also click on the contest links below to get your entries in there!

We’ll be chatting in the bubbles so grab your glass and slip right in! Our bartender will keep your glass full, just hold it up when it’s empty to get your sexy refill! Everyone comfy? Let’s get started!

Writing in the BDSM World

This genre is exploding out there! Some authors know what they’re talking about and some need to research a little more. There are many, many different areas of the genre such as deprivation, forced orgasm, sexual slavery, golden showers, whipping, needles, hot wax, bondage, etc. Many readers may not have a lot of knowledge about what goes on in the lifestyle of those who live in the BDSM world…I guess because I want readers to understand that it’s not just kinky fun nor is it a perverted way of life. The main aspect of BDSM is the respect partners have for each other. They know where the power lies and who allows things to proceed. Trust is a major factor and is forefront in all Dom/sub relationships and bondage sessions. Everyone has a safeword and your partner better be aware of it.

I have a few links on my website for curious readers to do research; at least start with a few of the links and go from there…Safe, Sane, and Consensual! You and your partner need to know each of limits and boundaries.  Participating in BDSM isn’t something one should jump into without doing research to make sure the lifestyle is a good fit for you and your partner(s). People can get hurt easily if precautions are not taken before you put your life into another person’s hands. Take the simple satin scarf blindfold…do you fully trust the one blindfolding you? Would they care if what they’re doing to you is going to hurt or maim you? If you can’t answer that without still leaving a question in your mind, do not proceed!

Another main point is if you’re okay in your mind with WHO you are! BDSM is a mind game and can mess you up if you get in a partnership with a Dom or Master who is going to belittle you, mentally abuse you and constantly talk down to you. Your self-esteem can take a beating if you’re not confident of where you stand in life. Be confident and know what you’re getting into.

Being a submissive is not being a slave! Doms and Masters could NOT do what they do in the lifestyle if their submissive did not allow them to do what they do with their submissive! Keep that in mind as you look further into this or watch the videos. So…who really holds the power in the relationship?

A good Dom or Master will always respect you as a person and they care if they cause you too much pain, which brings me to the next point. Your Dom better know your pain threshold. Everyone is not on the same pain level – some DO enjoy/require more pain to get the sexual satisfaction they’re looking for. That doesn’t mean everyone is on that level. A firm discussion of limits is in order.

I could go on forever here but stop by my website and check out my Links page. Look into the subject matter and form your own opinion. Not everyone is into the lifestyle but….I can tell you….deep in YOUR mind lays that little dark, secret place where all of you wonder what it would be like to be blindfolded, tied up and forced to enjoy slow, erotic sex play!

[Eden] Great thoughts on BDSM, Tonya. Now let me refill my glass and sit back to find out more about you from your Secret Admirer. 

* * * *

Secret Admirer:  Tell us a little bit about yourself:

Tonya:   I live in the Pacific Northwest but am originally from the east coast area. I love the lower humidity where I am now rather than the sweltering humid summers back there….not to mention the bird-size mosquitoes! Okay, that is stretching it a bit but they’re big enough to carry you away I swear!

Secret Admirer:  Let’s start out by getting the name of your newest release and what genre/category it falls into?

Tonya:  My newest release is Master’s Email and it released on June 17th! Once again it falls into the BDSM genre but is not part of The Boss’s Pet series like all my prior books. Master’s Email is about voyeurism as her Master enjoys watching his submissive perform for him before cameras that he’s installed throughout their home. He also shares his house key with another Dom who stops in to visit for a training session with his submissive. Click the link to read a XXX-rated excerpt!

Read HERE

I’m also working on another series which will be an erotic western and include hot, sweaty cowboys and the women who love them…or love on them! *wink* My website has more information.

Secret Admirer:  Please finish this sentence: The best thing about being an author is…

Tonya:  ooooo…that I get to create stories that tug at everyone’s dirty little secrets! We all have them; some like to pretend they don’t but while they read in the privacy of their room or computer, they would give their right arm to be in my stories as the heroine!

Secret Admirer:  Who was the first writer you met online, or in person?

Tonya:   I’ve met many authors online but there are two that seemed to form a wonderful relationship with me and we talk on messenger every day! Brenda Woody and Steve Tindle are also co-owners with me over at Naughty Reader’s Boudoir and we’re having a blast! We also critique for each other, bounce ideas for covers or story lines off each other and I will get to meet them in October when I travel across country. I can’t wait! I know we won’t get any sleep because we’ll be up all night chatting!

Secret Admirer:  How much of real life do you put in your writing?

Tonya:   I’ll never answer that! *wicked laugh* What would the readers have to fantasize about if they knew it all? Sorry, hons!

Secret Admirer:  Have you tried writing with another author?

Tonya:   Brenda, Steve and I are contemplating that right now. We’re not sure if we’ll get something together in time for the season holidays or not so keep an eye on our websites and in my newsletter! (Subscribing could get you in on the monthly drawing I do!)

Secret Admirer:  To date, what has been the best advice or words of encouragement you’ve received?

Tonya:   A long time ago, I belonged to a critique group and I learned so much about author voice, edits, point of view…wow! The best advice I pulled from them was to read your work out loud when you think you’re done. Read into a recorder and play it back if you have to. If it doesn’t read smooth when you listen to the replay, it won’t read smooth for your readers. Using the word find tool in Word is also helpful; mainly to see how often she/he is used, especially to begin sentences!!! I think that’s my biggest pet peeve. Vary your sentence beginnings and structure. Short choppy sentences make me nuts…they have their place but change it up. Also don’t make it sound like an instruction manual! He did this, he did that, he did this…use all five senses and convey that through thoughts to your reader. Okay, I’ll stop….anther subject I could go on for hours about!

Secret Admirer:  When not writing, where or what can you be found doing?

Tonya:   I’ll still be at my computer creating covers, web banners, buttons, promo items or marketing…I love it all!

Secret Admirer:  What are your hobbies or interests outside of writing?

Tonya:   I love to putz in the yard trimming bushes, pulling weeds, planting more flowers…it allows me to talk with my characters and glean where they might want the story to go.

Secret Admirer:  What type of music to you like?

Tonya:  I really enjoy the classic rock from the 60’s and 70’s! Again, thank you for having me today. Readers, thank you for stopping in to read. I hope you visit my sites, follow my blog and subscribe to my newsletter! (I pick one winner a month from each!) I’ll be around for the next week to check back for any comments or questions your readers might have. Please see my contest below!!!

Dude, Grow a Pair. Don’t Let Your Woman Pluck Your Nose Hair

I rarely take public transit any more since I work from home, but it’s uncanny that whenever I do, I see something bizarre.

Let me preface this post by saying I’m not a supporter of public grooming. I think it’s rude to brush your hair, put on make-up, or floss your teeth in front of perfect strangers, and yet, I’ve seen all of this. I usually look away, but last week I saw something that riveted me to the scene. Why? Because I couldn’t believe my eyes.

A thirty-something couple sat across from me in a subway car having a conversation. There was nothing remarkable about either one of them. Out of nowhere, I noticed the woman’s expression change as she stared at her boyfriend’s/husband’s face—she grimaced. I suspected he had said something inappropriate, and she was showing her disgust … but no. She raised her hand almost as if to slap him, but instead, she grabbed some invisible strand of hair hanging from inside his nose and tugged on it—hard!

The worst thing was—he let her do it.

Although he flinched and his head jerked back each time, he allowed her to pull at his nose hair with her bare hand. It was obvious she was determined to yank out that nasty strand at any cost. Five times, count them, FIVE TIMES she did this and FIVE TIMES he let her until she finally plucked it out, at which point, he let out a feeble “Ouch.” She then held the hair in front of him and showed him how long it was, dropped it on the floor, and chided him. For what? For having nose hairs?

I don’t know about you, but nobody, unless that person wants a punch in the face, gets anywhere close to plucking hair from my body unless he has my explicit permission to do so.

What struck me most was why this man allowed it to happen to him. Sure, he has an intimate relationship with this woman. You do many things with your significant other you wouldn’t do with anyone else. Yes, men are more into grooming nowadays—waxing, man-scaping, facial beauty products.

I get it.

But … dude … it’s still your body, your choice when you want to tug, pull, and pluck. I bet my life your girlfriend/wife would never allow you to yank hair from her head, let alone from inside her nostril. And certainly not in public!

What I really wanted to say to this guy was “Buddy, don’t let anyone do that to you. Have some pride for god’s sake. And while you’re at it—grow a pair. Passively allowing a woman to groom you in public is not only disgusting, it’s just not cool. Grow those balls before she sees them as just another hairy instrument to pluck.”

My Video Interview with @LearnPleasure

Over the past week, I was interviewed vis Skype by Christine Fawley. She and Charlotte Goodman-Smith are both sex educators and touch experts. They run a site called The Pleasure Mechanics and interview a variety of people about sexuality and sex culture.

Chris and I spoke about my work as an author of erotica.

I rarely do video interviews, so please excuse how tired I look. I was coming off a few sleepless nights, which might also account for the blathering. I think Chris asked wonderful questions and the overall message was good.

Hit this Youtube link to view four short videos, and I hope you enjoy.

Inside the Author’s Mind – Nick Palmer

I knew of Nick Palmer from sometime ago and  happily re-connected with him via our work on Indies Unite for Joshua. Nick is a poet, a playwright, and a very intense man. I love intense men, especially when that intensity is mixed with intelligence and a passion for what they believe in.

It gives me great pleasure to showcase Nick and his new book. He’s a beautiful and eloquent writer, and I encourage you to pick up a copy of Three Worlds.

* * * *

Book Description

With influences of Robert Frost, Max Ehrmann and Roger McGough, in his superb first collection of a collection of thoughts, Nick Palmer explores the three worlds of human experience; what we are like on the inside, the beauty that inspires us to do great things, and the shadows that snare our hearts.

Inside Nick Palmer’s Mind

What is your idea of perfect happiness? 

Cliché as it will sound, it’s being in a house in the hills filled with a good dinner and sharing a cold drink on a warm summer’s evening with all the people I love around me as the sun goes down. There’d be a cat running about the place – a ginger one, called Asimov – and a dog – a King Charles Spaniel, called Dostoyevsky – too. Friends, family and appreciating the simple beauty of the universe, there’s nothing better than that.

What turns you on creatively? 

I like the way your brain makes connections and leaps when you really get into a piece. Poetry provides that in a quick fix way – I’ve always had the desire to be silly with words and they just arrange themselves in my brain somehow. But that feeling of stringing connections, themes, actions, emotions, all of those together makes me feel so very alive. It’s hard to beat. I like a well created world – it has to be real otherwise it doesn’t hold up. I like naturalism in plays and I want my characters to be believable, rather than two dimensional, even in a comedy. I’m not a big fan of “set-up, punchline” shows or hastily crammed together fantasy worlds. But a compelling story is also a must. For me, it’s the connections and simply put I don’t know how not to write. I don’t remember a time where I wasn’t creating stories or poems. One of my first was about a ghost that was troubling my friends and I – it wore a white glove for some reason. The twist was that when we got back to my friend’s house after solving the whole mystery, his mum was wearing a single white glove. Probably not the best story, but I was only 5 at the time, I think. I remember that the teacher put a drawing of a boy wearing a bow tie at the end, which she only did if something was good. It’s strange remembering that. I love writing, I get antsy if I don’t write, so I keep doing it and if people like the result then that’s even better.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse? 

I think my repeat offender is “true story”, which has become more of a tic than a phrase for me. I can’t stop myself saying it. I also start a lot of responses to texts, tweets, and the like with the word “well”. I’m not sure why.

[Eden] Well … I do the same thing. No wonder we get along. 

What quality do you most admire in a man? 

I like a man to be confident in who he is without wanting to impose that on anyone else. I’m not a ‘jock’ type – I’m very much a nerd and proud of it – and I don’t like a man with the impulse to be physically imposing. Aggression in anyone is unattractive, but men tend to be more guilty of it than women, in my experience anyway. I prize intelligence, kindness, and humour in men and women. But I think overall I admire inner strength – a sense of self and self-governance. It’s the spark that allows you to recognise others’ strengths without being threatened, to stand by friends and family, and to help others in need.

What quality do you most admire in a woman?

 Much the same as I admire in men – kindness, intelligence, and humour. I like a woman who is confident and outgoing. I don’t like loud people particularly, men or women, because it’s very attention seeking and also hard on the ears, but I like them to be confident. People who think, really think, are always admirable, but it does need to come with that levity of humour. I don’t make much distinction in what I admire in men and women. What is admirable is admirable in anyone.

What is your greatest regret? 

I don’t like to regret too much – you make your choices and you pay whatever price has to be paid. Besides, if you spend too much time worrying about the past you might miss the opportunities of the present. But not getting to say a proper goodbye to my grandparents – my dad’s parents – before they died and not getting to know them as an adult, those I deeply regret.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
 
I’d like a bit more of a work ethic. I’m not bad at working so much as I leave it all to the last minute, which is not always the best way of getting things done. I’m working on it, but it’s an uphill struggle trying to change something you’re so used to. I always strive to do the best I can, but I do need a gentle kick up the arse every now and again. So, a quick fix on that would be helpful.

What is your greatest fear? 

Wasps are undoubtedly my mortal enemies. I’ve always found them frightening for some reason; it’s called spheksophobia, which is hard to say in front of people without them mishearing. I’m generally okay about it now, though it was worse when I was younger. If they take me by surprise though, I do go into panic mode. Also, dying. But I don’t like to think about it; it confuses and disturbs me.

Which living person do you most admire?
 
My dad has always been my role model. Okay, that’s a lie, for a while it was Stuart Pearce (a soccer player for Nottingham Forest, the team I support, played 1985-1997) and when I was a bit older it was Kurt Cobain. But my dad is the person I look up to and go to for all my advice. If I end up as half the man he is, I’ll have done well.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? 

My ambitions when I was at school moved from being a vet to being in a band or being a journalist. But I think right now I’d say doctor, because you get to help people in a very real sense. That or being a falconer. I do love my birds of prey.

If you could choose what to come back as, what would it be?

 It’s so difficult to choose. Either a snow leopard, a fox, a barn owl, or a peregrine falcon. From a sort of practical point of view, I think I’d want to be a human, but those are my other animal choices. I’m not sure I could pick one of the four, so if we could arrange some sort of cycle that would be excellent.

What do you consider your greatest achievement? 

 It’s hard to pick things out really, I don’t feel like I’ve achieved much – some days I’m not even sure I’m an adult. But I’ve completed two degrees in history – Bachelors and Masters – and I’m working on adding a PhD to that collection. I’m proud of that. Getting published was also a great thing. It’s something I only ever thought would happen in a dream, so I’m very proud, pleased, and honoured to be a published poet. Alongside that was having my first play, Lost & Found, performed by Leicester University Theatre. It was great for me as a writer and co-director, but also for everyone else who put time and effort into it, both behind the scenes and on the stage. They were all amazing and I couldn’t have done it without them. One of the greatest moments of my life so far.

What is the trait you most deplore in others? 

It probably sounds very snobby, but ignorance. I find the world uniquely fascinating and I can’t believe it when other people are not interested in the world around them, or even in the simple joy of knowledge and learning. But I also mean it in the sense of ignorance leading to bigotry; that is not cool. I’m what gets referred to in the UK as a “bleeding heart liberal”. Racism, sexism, homophobia, any form of discrimination – not on, not acceptable, not welcome.

[Eden] Word. I got a good sense of this from the comment you left on my recent blog post.

What is your greatest extravagance? 

I’m a PhD student – I don’t have the funds to be extravagant! But I do have a bit of a weakness for belt buckles (superheroes and other geeky things). I do buy far too many books – I mean too many because I never have time to read them all. You can never have too many books.

What is one thing you want to do before you die? 

I want to have a family. As I said, my dad has been such an inspiration and role model for me and my mum as well – where would we be without mums, eh? She’s always so supportive, loving, and keeps me from slacking too much! I count myself very lucky to have the parents and family I have. So, I’d like to give it a go myself. But that’s a few years off yet. I’m not much of a “things before you die” person – I like enjoying the here and the now, but I’d like to have a play I’ve written put on at the Old Vic in London. That would be amazing.

What is your favorite music (genre/artist/album/song)? 

I have a fairly eclectic taste. I’m not very good at picking favourites, since there are times when one artist is better for your mood than another. I like anything really, from Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to Sara Bareilles, from Green Day to Eva Cassidy, but much of what I listen to is alternative – punk, rock, metal. I’m not a fan of hip hop and rap or club music in general and I don’t listen to pop either really, though I like the occasional song. My favourite band of all time is Alkaline Trio and my favourite songs by them are Tuck Me In and Blue In The Face.

What are some of your favorite curse words? 

I’m a fan of them all, but I suppose ‘fuck’ is the one that I use the most. I try not to say ‘cunt’ a lot but mostly because it gives me a scale up for when I’m really looking to swear. I don’t hold with using swear words in every other sentence because it robs them off their shock value, and undermines the point of using them in the first place. English does have a decent range of swear words, though, in comparison with some other languages, so it’s nice to use a range! But ‘bastard’, ‘fuck’, and ‘cunt’ are probably my favourites.

What is your motto? 

As a medieval historian and because I grew up wanting to be a medieval knight, I find heraldry fascinating. I spend an inordinate amount of time drawing coats of arms (though I’m not all that great at drawing). The motto most closely associated with my own surname is Palma virtuti, which means ‘the palm is for virtue’: it comes from the fact that Palmers were pilgrims who brought back palm leaves from the Holy Land as proof of their journey. It’s not really a motto I’d take on though. I’m drawn to the simplicity of semper ad meliora – ‘always towards better things’, but I’d probably say that my motto would be a quotation from St. Edmund of Abingdon: “discere quasi simper victurus, vivere quasi eras moriturus”, which (loosely translated) means ‘learn as if always going to live, live as if tomorrow going to die’.

Nick, you are a knight in shining armour in all the ways that count. Thank you for brightening up my day with your fabulous answers.

Readers, please leave a comment and connect with Nick. He’s a really sweet man to know.

Connect with Nick Palmer

Nick Palmer was born in 1985 and grew up in the wide flatlands of South Holland, Lincolnshire, which is why he hardly ever writes poems about mountains! He attended the University of Leicester, where he obtained both a Bachelors and a Masters degree in History. He is currently avoiding what some may call “the real world” by banging his head against the brick wall of a PhD in the Laws of War during the Crusades at the same institution. Poetry is yet another way to explore the world of imagination and to escape from the reality of a looming 80,000 word thesis. He has just had his first anthology, Three Worlds, published with Inspired Quill. In addition to writing poetry, Nick also writes plays; two of his short pieces (The Pearly Gates and Office Life) appeared in the Leicester Comedy Festival 2009 and his first full length play, Lost & Found, was produced by Leicester University Theatre in November 2011. His aspiration is to be a playwright, and have some great heroic actor of the age speak his lines on the stage of the Old Vic. If he can’t have that, he’ll settle for world peace, a bottle of wine, and a ginger cat called Asimov.

NEW Release ~ Her Twisted Pleasures by Amelia James

Amelia James was interviewed for Inside the Author’s Mind in September of last year, and I’m proud to highlight her new erotic short story collection, Her Twisted Pleasures. It releases TODAY!

She gave me two excerpts I could use – Behind door #1 was the PG 13 version. Door #2 hid the R, NSFW, 18+, naughty naughty version.

Guess which one I chose? Find out below.

* * * *

Amelia James started reading steamy romance novels in junior high, but her mom took them away from her, so she started daydreaming instead. After she got married, she wrote some of her naughtier daydreams down and sent them to Playgirl magazine. Two of them got published.  She kept daydreaming and writing stories until her dirty stories turned into trashy books.

She lives in Colorado, but she’ll always be a loyal Wisconsin Cheesehead. When she’s not lusting after her next bad boy hero, she looks for inspiration in sci-fi and action movies, football players, bloodsucking lawyers, muscle cars, and kick-butt chicks.

Book description

His hand came off my neck, and he wrapped his arms around me, crushing me against him. I grabbed his hair and forced his mouth to mine, feeding the darkness possessing us…. Submission, yes! Not giving up control but having it taken from me. This… this was why I needed Alex. Will was too nice; he would never abuse me like this. But Alex…mmm…Alex had no such qualms. “What have you done to me?”

Talia indulges her sexual pleasures, turning her life into a twisted mess. Sleeping with Alex is dangerous and reckless. She craves that excitement. Loving Will is comforting and safe. She needs that stability. Why can’t she get everything she wants from one man?

Will has everything under control. Watching his girlfriend flirt with his best friend fuels his lust for her. He loves Talia; he trusts Alex. It’s all good as long as he makes the rules.

Alex doesn’t give a damn about rules. He knows how to play with fire without getting burned. It’s just sex with Talia. No emotions means no attachments. That’s one rule he won’t break.

Sometimes dirty little secrets are more dirty than secret….

“I had the weirdest dream.” I snuggled closer to him, feeling his heart beat steady under my cheek.

His hand slipped between my thighs. I was still wet. “Was it about him?”

“Yes.”

His heart beat faster against my side. “Be a good slut and tell me about it.” He smiled. “Don’t leave anything out.”

The glimmer in his eyes made me wonder what he was hoping for. Alex had invaded my sleep before—even hotter than this one. Will liked hearing all the dirty details. Strange, but if it turned him on, what was the harm in telling him? Still, I never said Alex’s name.

“I got up for a drink and he was in the kitchen.”

“Were you naked?”

“Yes, but he wasn’t. He pinned me against the wall and fucked me.”

“Mmm… did you like fucking another guy?” The hand between my legs probed my wet flesh, and his fingers slipped inside me.

“Yeah.” I smiled and sweat sprinkled my skin.

Will understood, like no one else ever had, my need for variety. I’d never been with anyone as long as I’d been with Will because… well, they soon bored me. He gave me free rein to flirt with anyone. I tried hard not to cross the line, but he never got mad, never showed any emotion at all.

Sometimes, he seemed to like it.

I dragged my mouth up his neck and flicked my tongue in his ear. “He made me come.” I smiled on his hot skin, knowing my dream orgasms would make him hard.

He groaned and draped my thigh over his hips, grinding his cock against my mound. “How many times?”

“Um….” I stalled, teasing him. “Twice.”

He kissed me, fucking my mouth with his tongue. “Was he fucking you both times?”

“No. The first time he was fingering my button.”

His amused smile told me he liked my silly words for my girl parts. “And he fucked you after that?” He teased my pink flesh with his cock.

I gnawed my lip and buried my face against his shoulder, nipping it. “Yes.”

“That’s my girl.” His cock slid inside me as his big hand cupped my ass and held my body against his.

My fingers tangled in Will’s long hair and I kissed him, moaning into his mouth and trying not to remember how Alex’s cock had felt in my dream. Would it feel that good in real life? No—don’t go there.

Then I remembered something else—a new element in my dreams. What would Will think if he knew he was in it too? “You were watching us.”
