New Cover Love- Sodom and the Phoenix
Coming January 31st, from Loose Id, 'Sodom and the Phoenix', the sequal to 'Sodom and Detroit'
.Ze Blurb
Tanwen Evans has traveled to the world famous Sodom Virtual Reality Resort to find her passion. Her twenty year marriage to her high school sweetheart has recently ended, and with both of her children out of the house she finds herself alone for the first time in her adult life. Unwilling to trust her heart to another man, she believes that indulging in some racy virtual reality fantasies will help her find her long buried sexual side without the messy complications of a relationship. When she arrives at Sodom she discovers much to her shock, and fascination, she has been booked during the annual ‘Leather Kiss’ BDSM convention.
Bryan Hamilton isn’t a fan of virtual reality fantasies, he prefers real life any day of the week. As a founding member of ‘Leather Kiss’ he attends the convention at Sodom, but usually enjoys his submissives without the aid of technology. When he runs into Tanwen all of his plans change. With her gentle disposition and her ladylike manners she calls to him like no woman has since the death of his wife. He discovers that she is a natural submissive and begins a campaign to win her heart, that includes joining her in a series of mind-blowing VR adventures.
Tanwen has to fight her growing attraction to the handsome Master who is supposed to be just a vacation fling. The more they’re together, the more she finds herself yearning to have Bryan be her Master both in the virtual and the real world. She has to decide what’s more important, protecting her heart or taking a chance on the kind of love she’s always dreamed about.

Current Works In Progress
Since I write so many series(they don't have a rehab for that problem yet) I often get asked when the next book in XXX is coming out. In an effort to keep you a little more updated here is what I'm currently working on. I flit from project to project when I hit a mental wall with a plot in one book so I work on different books simultaneously.
Book 2 in the 'For the Love of Evil' series, 'Princess of Lust'- 50% done
'Galina(working title)', in the same world as the 'For the Love of Evil' series, but is a stand alone prequel of how Asmodeous and his concubine met- 50% done
Switch Hitter- BDSM Contemp Menage Romance- 20% done
So in the next month or two these three stories will be out the door and I'll be moving on to 'The Empress' Concubines'-sequel to 'The Breaker's Concubine'-, and 'Lady Catherine's Lover' the next book in my 'Willow Creek' series.
Busy iz I and loving it. :)

A Gold Star from JERR for 'Blushing Violet'!
I just wanted to share this fantastic review I got for 'Blushing Violet' from Just Erotic Romance Reviews. It received a gold star, their highest aware for a book. :) Made my day for sure!
Title: Blushing Violet
Author: Ann Mayburn
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave Publishing
Reviewer: Barbara McCormick
Rating: Gold Star Award
Heat Level: O
Violet Bishop just wants someone to love her after her doctor boyfriend dumps her the day before Christmas. She takes a chance on a website that matches people up based on their taste in books. Of course, her taste runs to BDSM erotica. Carlos Romano and Morgan Kane, two old friends and Doms, end up matched with her. They agree to both date her and let her choose between them after
a month. Violet finds herself deliriously happy with the attentions of both men, neither of whom finds her desires or her body anything but wonderful. Her self-esteem and inner strength blossom under their care. When she discovers the men’s deception, she finds herself strong enough to walk away from both of them. The men join together to try to win her back for them both.
Blushing Violet is one of the best BDSM novels I’ve read. Violet, with bright red hair, freckles, and a size 16 body, is so real and so vulnerable. Carlos, besides being totally ripped, is a highly intelligent and gifted photographer. Morgan Kane is a former football player who’s stayed in shape and a talented artist to boot. Both men are caring Dominants who want to cherish Violet while bringing her dreams to life. Their interplay as they compete for her affections, and their apology when she finds them out, are truly the stuff of dreams. The sex is smoking hot, particularly if you enjoy BDSM, ménage, and anal play. In addition to hot sex, though, I really enjoyed the story Ms. Mayburn wove around these wonderful characters.
The characters themselves became so real that I missed them when I closed the book. Blushing Violet earns the Gold Star Award for being a delightful erotic romance among likable characters who are worth remembering.

A Silver Star Review for 'Peppermint Passion'!
What could be a better present on release day than a 'best of the best' award from Just Erotic Romance for 'Peppermint Passion'!
As a waitress at a BDSM club, Shayla is curious but hesitant to get involved as a sub herself. But Shayla’s two bosses, Dom partners Trent and Jack, make resistance futile. When Shayla attends the mens’ Christmas party as a guest instead of their employee, the kid gloves come off. The men can’t wait to take ownership of Shayla during a sub auction! But Shayla doesn’t realize the men are playing for keeps...as desperately as she hopes for that, can she handle two dominant men permanently?
Peppermint Passion really lives up to its name - it’s cool, hot, spicy and sweet all at once. Ms. Mayburn is a very talented writer, and this short story is not only amazingly erotic, it is also intelligent and sensual at
the same time. Peppermint Passion is the perfect introduction for curiosity seekers to the BDSM lifestyle, as it isn’t at all heavy on “scenes” or pain typical in that sub-genre. The sex throughout Peppermint Passion is incredible; Trent and Jack were both loving yet focused on bringing Shayla the D/s scenerio she so deeply desires. The contrast of the mens’ strong and dominant nature versus the lush and indulgent care they show with Shayla is very interesting, it really is a unique
and intoxicating look at the love and affection possible in the BDSM world. Strangely enough, I really liked Ms. Mayburn’s disclaimer about using peppermint oil in sexual situations, it shows she has done her research and not just thrown items in gratuitously and without understanding the potential implications. Bottom line, Peppermint Passion is a fabulous book whether you’re into BDSM stories or not. The sex is amazing-a little kinky and very seductive. For those reasons and

Sodom and the Phoenix
For those of you that enjoyed
you'll be excited to know that the next book in the series, Sodom and the Phoenix, is going through edits and should be out in Jan or Feb of next year. To give you a little sneak peek at the story, here is the rough blurb. :)
Tanwen Evans has traveled to the world famous Sodom Virtual Reality Resort to find her passion. Her twenty year marriage to her high school sweetheart has recently ended, and with both of her children out of the house she finds herself alone for the first time in her adult life. Unwilling to trust her heart to another man, she believes that indulging in some racy virtual reality fantasies will help her find her long buried sexual side without the messy complications of a relationship. When she arrives at Sodom she discovers much to her shock, and fascination, she has been booked during the annual ‘Leather Kiss’ BDSM convention.
Bryan Hamilton isn’t a fan of virtual reality fantasies, he prefers real life any day of the week. As a founding member of ‘Leather Kiss’ he attends the convention at Sodom, but usually enjoys his submissives without the aid of technology. When he runs into Tanwen all of his plans change. With her gentle disposition and her ladylike manners she calls to him like no woman has since the death of his wife. He discovers that she is a natural submissive and begins a campaign to win her heart. Together they explore her hidden fantasies, including hot cop and the speeder that will do anything to get out of a ticket and a trip to a zoo that is unlike anything on earth.
Tanwen has to fight her growing attraction to the handsome Master who is supposed to be just a vacation fling. The more they’re together, the more she finds herself yearning to have Bryan be her Master both in the virtual and the real world. She has to decide what’s more important, protecting her heart or taking a chance on the kind of love she’s always dreamed about.
