On my blog, I'm giving away a $10 Amazon giftcard to a random commenter, and each participating author/blogger is offering an individual prize too.

1 $25 Loose Id Gift Card (Donated by Cara Bristol) The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and love is in the air. Ah, springtime. It's about time you showed up! One of the things I am most looking forward to this spring (aside from the warmer temps!) is the release of Commander's Slave on April 19th. It's a sci fi erotic romance and it is the sequel to Surrender . Here's a snippet of my two lovebirds, Edek and Betsy, getting know one another better: “Are you cold?” “No, master.” “Then you’re frightened, and needlessly. I gave you my word no harm will come to you. You needn’t fear for your life.” “Truly?” she asked. Edek’s expression softened further. “Truly, Betsy.” A weight of worries lifted from her shoulders. Betsy hadn’t felt so light since before the war, even though she was a slave now. Her face crumpled and she sniffled. No one had called her by her name in months—not since the trial—and only Layla had spoken it without hatred. Edek, though he had many reasons to hate her kind, wasn’t looking at her with hatred, nor was he speaking her name with hatred. She’d expected him to treat her with contempt. If anything, he seemed in awe of her. Up and down his eyes went, inspecting her from head to toe, and pleasure flickered in his expression as he touched her hair. “Thank you, master. I confess you are not what I expected.” A smile tugged at his lips. “Is that a compliment?” Her heart beat faster. “Yes, master.”  Commander's Slave (unofficial) blurb: Sentenced to a lifetime of slavery on the Kall homeworld for crimes she did not commit, First Daughter Betsy Carson expects the rest of her days to be a constant struggle for survival. She’s stunned when a kind old Kall purchases her from the auction block, and even more stunned to learn she’s a gift for his younger brother – a fierce Kall warrior who loathes humans with his every breath. Her hopes to be left alone by her new master are dashed when he orders her to sleep in his bed, and she soon discovers disobedience will earn her a firm, bare bottom spanking from the strong warrior. Not only that, but her resolve to resist his advances crumbles as time passes and she finds herself trembling for his touch.

Commander Edek enjoys taming the spirited Betsy, and he finds owning a petite human slave has its benefits. Her silken red hair, sparkling blue eyes, and soft curves entice him like no other female before. Her sweet presence calms the storm raging in his heart, healing the wounds caused by the war against Earth, and the passion they share gives him hope for the future. But his new world is shattered when he arrives home to find her missing one day, and Edek’s skills as a Kall warrior are put to the ultimate test.  Do you think spring is the most romantic season?

Saturday Spankings: "I have no choice but to punish you now, little human."

Welcome to Saturday Spankings!


Today I'm sharing another excerpt from Commander's Slave. In this scene, Edek is about to spank Betsy for the first time for refusing to reveal her real name to him.


"I’ve given you several chances to answer my questions and you still refuse. I have no choice but to punish you now, little human.” He planned to punish her lightly, but she didn’t need to know that. She needed to learn fear and respect. The next time he asked her a question, he expected an immediate answer to fall from her lips. Slaves didn’t refuse their masters anything, least of all simple information.

Edek hauled her over his lap and draped one of his legs over hers, trapping her in his hold. Her breathing became labored, and she peered over her shoulder at him with pleading eyes.


Unofficial blurb:

Sentenced to a lifetime of slavery on the Kall homeworld for crimes she did not commit, First Daughter Betsy Carson expects the rest of her days to be a constant struggle for survival. She’s stunned when a kind old Kall purchases her from the auction block, and even more stunned to learn she’s a gift for his younger brother – a fierce Kall warrior who loathes humans with his every breath.

Not only that, but her resolve to resist his advances crumbles as time passes and she finds herself trembling for his touch.

Commander Edek enjoys taming the spirited Betsy, and he finds owning a petite human slave has its benefits.

Commander's Slave is the sequel to Surrender and it is scheduled to release on April 19th with Etopia Press! Woohoo!

Today's excerpt is from the illustrious Renee Rose. In this piece Cade has taken on his tenant, Faye, as a slave until she can figure out how to change his feet back from flippers. He's going over the rules with her now:
 
“So, let’s go over the rules,” he said when she returned. “You will call me ‘Master’ at all times. If you fail to address me properly, you will be spanked. You will speak respectfully to me at all times, or you will be spanked. And most importantly, I expect instant obedience to my every request.”
She gaped at him, her hands balled into fists. He must be crazy. “Go to hell!” she spat.
The look of delight on his face frightened her almost as much as the speed with which he grabbed her and tossed her over his lap on the sofa and flipped up her skirt.
“You enjoy this!” she shrieked in outrage.
He pulled her panties down. “Yes, I do,” he said, beginning to spank her. He did not slap nearly so hard as he had back at her apartment, but her bottom still stung from his use of her wand. She reached back, trying to cover his target. He caught her wrist and bent it deftly behind her back. “I love to spank, and you happen to have the cutest butt I have ever seen.”
She should not be turned on. Pain had always been something she avoided at all costs. But even though she did not want to be spanked—especially not by him—her traitorous body had turned molten, a trickle of arousal leaking out between her legs as a hot pulse made her thighs open.
Cade stopped, stroking his hand over her twitching cheeks. “I can smell your arousal, Faye,” he murmured. “What turned you on, the spanking or hearing I love your sweet little ass?”
She hid her face in the sofa cushion, too embarrassed to speak. This could not be happening.
He gave her a hard slap, eliciting a squeak. “I asked you a question!”
 
Blurb:
In a world where fairy tales and real life collide, in which truth is sometimes stranger than fiction and romance and fetish are the norm, a winter storm forces a cast of characters to converge at a unique lodge, and three interwoven tales are set in motion.

Jillian and her brother narrowly escape a wolf attack, thanks to a shapeshifter, Bertram. As the owner of the lodge, Bertram opens Jillian’s eyes to a whole new world filled with spanking and so much more. Will she keep fighting her submission, or allow herself the chance for true love?

Coral is a fugitive—hiding from herself, her true desires, and the sea witch to whom she owes a great debt. She fears showing real emotion and letting herself be free, but Jake Hill’s dominating presence beckons her to yield to him—not just her body, but her heart, mind, and soul. When the sea witch demands retribution, though, she may lose the one man she has come to trust.

When Faye blunders while casting a spell upon her landlord, he claims her as his slave until she can undo the magic, and she finds herself subject to his firm discipline. As her attraction to him grows, Faye fears she will give in to the handsome shifter and forever lose her maidenhood, and consequently her powers and the ability to fix her mistake.

Even as all three women struggle with surrendering to the dominant men they have fallen for, each finds herself on a journey to discover her true self. Can they find a way to yield to love without losing themselves in the process?

Publisher’s Note: The Winter Storm is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, anal play, sexual scenes, age play, exhibitionism, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Saturday Spankings: "She was his property. Nothing more."

Hello and welcome to Saturday Spankings! I'm sharing a snippet from Commander's Slave today. Commander's Slave is the sequel to Surrender , and it's in the editing process and will release on April 18th.


She inhaled a shaky breath and put her little hand in his much larger one. A jolt of energy shot through Edek at the physical contact and shook him to his core. He was supposed to hate her. He was supposed to want to kill her. Her people had ruined his life. They’d ruined the lives of many he’d loved, and they’d taken away his precious family too. Yet her hand felt perfect and silky in his, and a surge of protectiveness for the little human sped through him.
 
He pushed the unwanted feelings down. She was his property. Nothing more.

Taming Megan by Natasha Knight - hot new spanking romance!

I'm so excited to have Natasha Knight visiting me today with an excerpt from her new release, Taming Megan. Take it away, Natasha...



Hi Sue, thanks so much for having me here today! I wanted to share a piece from Taming Megan , my new spanking erotic romance. This is my first where domestic discipline (in a contemporary setting) is central to the storyline. I found I really enjoyed writing it. In this scene, Jake confronts Megan after having given her multiple opportunities to tell him about the financial trouble her bakery is having (since he co-signed on her loan), but she's put it off for so long that the bakery is in real trouble now.
* * * *
"Megan," Jake called from the study. "Can you come in here please?"
"Coming," she said, rising slowly. "What's up?" she asked, standing just outside of the study. It was a little after nine o'clock on Tuesday night.
"Come inside and close the door."
She looked at him finding his expression strange. It was then she saw the papers on his desk, the logo of the bank they'd come from.
She closed the door and went to stand in front of the desk when he held the papers up for her to see. "Why haven't you told me how bad things are at the bakery?" he asked.
"They aren’t that bad," she began, but she caught a glimpse of the numbers on the page he looked at. "It's been better the last few days and we had a really good weekend…"
"You barely paid the interest on the loan this last month," he said. "Do you remember out conversation when we took out this loan?" he asked.
She nodded, casting her eyes down. Jake had co-signed the loan, it had been the only way for the bank to give her one. Her credit history had had some hiccups prior to her meeting him. She had happily given over managing money to him when they had married and his one stipulation with co-signing was that she pay off a specific amount which was slightly more than the minimum the bank wanted, every month. He had calculated it out for her so that if she did this, she could have the loan paid off in almost half the time it would take her otherwise.
"When I went in there the other day, Anna showed me the letter from the landlord," Jake said.
"I was going to take care of it. She shouldn't have done that," Megan replied.
"How were you going to take care of it?"
She looked away, rubbing her now sweaty palms on the sides of her jeans.
"Meg," he began, leaning on the desk. "Do you understand this isn’t just about you? You've got a single mom employed at the bakery not to mention the part timers."
"One part timer. I let go of our driver," she volunteered.
"So who's doing the deliveries then?" he asked.
"Me and Anna. We split it up."
He shook his head and cleared a few things off his desk.
"I was going to tell you," she began.
"When? When you were evicted and lost everything, including the damage to my credit as your co-signer?"
She hadn't thought about that. She hadn't thought about any of it. The owner of the building was a nice man. She was planning on talking to him, but then the property management company got involved. As for it not being about her, he was right. She was so wrapped up in doing this on her own that she hadn't given a thought to Anna's situation. To what would happen to her if she lost this job. And then there was Jake's credit on top of everything else.
But she just didn't need to deal with this right now. "You're right, I'm sorry."
Jake stood and set the notice form the management company on the desk facing her.
"Bend over the desk, take down your jeans and panties," he said, unbuckling his belt.
Her heartbeat picked up and she forgot all about Sean Connelly for the moment.
"Now, Megan," he said, pulling the belt from its loops and doubling it up so he held the buckle in the palm of his hand. She unbuttoned her jeans and pushed them and her panties to her knees in one go. She then bent her torso over the desk, supporting herself on her forearms, watching him move behind her form the corner of her eye.
"No safe word, this is punishment. Don't bother counting," he said.
* * * *
Jake Roark is the husband Megan never dreamed she could have—handsome, responsible, kind-hearted, and so much more. Before she ever said her wedding vows, though, she also knew that he was traditional enough to take a misbehaving wife in hand. When the bad habits from the wild life she led before she met Jake begin to resurface, Megan soon finds herself over his knee for a bare bottom spanking. Jake's firm hand and old-fashioned ways only increase her love for him, but when a mistake from the past is suddenly thrust into the forefront of her life and her marriage, will Jake's love for Megan be strong enough to keep her in his arms forever, no matter what he learns about her? Publisher’s Note: Taming Megan is a stand-alone sequel to Taming Emma. It is an erotic romance novel that contains graphic sexual scenes, anal play, and spankings, including domestic discipline in a contemporary setting. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book. Amazon USAmazon UKAmazon CAAll RomanceBarnes and Noble
 

Saturday Spankings: "Time for you to pay up, sweetheart."

Hello and welcome to Saturday Spankings!

The following is a snippet from The Girl, the Doctor, and the Texas Ranger. Emily makes a bet with Trevor that she'll beat him playing Jeopardy. If she wins, she gets to stay up past her bedtime. If Trevor wins, he gets to give her ten spanks for every point he comes in ahead. Read on to find out who won...


“Time for you to pay up, sweetheart.” Lust glimmered in his eyes.

Remaining silent, unable to speak if she tried, she followed his lead as he prepared to spank her. He sat on the edge of the bed and guided her over his strong thighs. She felt tiny with her legs dangling, and he positioned her bottom high on his lap, cupping her bottom as he helped her into place. Her breath caught when he lifted her dress up, taking his time as he pushed it above her waist. Heat surged straight to her pussy, where her clit was pulsing and all her nerve endings flamed with need. She squirmed and gasped the moment his fingers hooked under the waistband of her panties, and Trevor soon had them bunched around her knees.


Blurb:

After witnessing a car crash outside his ranch house, Dr. Daniel Anderson rushes to help the girl behind the wheel. He carries her inside and tends to her wounds, all the while wondering what brought her out this far in the middle of the night. The young woman soon breaks down and confesses that her name is Emily and she's on the run from the police after fighting back against a vindictive cop who tried to take advantage of her.

Daniel and his brother Trevor, a Texas Ranger, feel protective of Emily and offer to keep her safe and help clear her name. They agree to let her stay on the ranch, and in return she promises to help out with chores and obey their rules. The prospect of real consequences if she misbehaves is exciting to Emily, and when she shyly approaches Daniel with this confession, he decides to give her a taste of his discipline. He takes her over his knee and spanks her bare bottom, and the love she feels as he cradles her in his arms afterwards is unlike anything she's ever experienced. She quickly discovers that Trevor is almost as strict as his older brother, and just as loving.

Though she is twenty-years old, Emily becomes their sweet little girl. Daniel and Trevor delight in buying her cute frilly dresses, taking care of all her needs, and disciplining her when she's been naughty. She thrives under their attentions and falls hopelessly in love with both brothers. It isn't long before they claim her, first each on his own and then both at once. Trevor is confident he'll have her name cleared in no time, but once he does, will Emily have to leave the men who've changed her life and stolen her heart, or can she stay their little girl forever?

Publisher’s Note: The Girl, the Doctor, and the Texas Ranger is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, anal play, exhibitionism, sexual scenes including threesomes, age play, medical play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Writing Process Blog Hop

A big thank you to Renee Rose for inviting me to this blog hop, where writers answer questions about their writing process.

1. What am I working on?

I'm writing the sequel to Report for Punishment, a contemporary novella which appeared on Bethany's Woodshed a few months ago, and I'm also working on a contemporary husband/wife age play novella. Neither of my WIPs have titles yet, and let me tell you it's driving me doubly crazy!

2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?

Spanking romances can be pg-rated (no explicit sex) to x-rated (packing lots of naughty heat), just as they can be short stories or full length novels. I tend to write shorter novellas with lots of naughtiness and punishments that go beyond simple spankings, and I've dabbled in many different subgenres.

3. How does my writing process work?

After an idea pops into my head, I usually let it percolate for a few weeks or months before I start writing the story. There's been a few times where I started writing the moment the idea came to me, but those times are rare. I like to think about the characters and the scenes for a while, and then I work up a rough outline before I begin typing.


Next week on March 3rd, three of my friends, Denise Wyant, Sidney Swann, and Joelle Casteel will be answering these same questions on their blogs. Here are their bios:

Denise Wyant enjoys writing romance and urban fantasy stories where the good guys win and love conquers any obstacles in its path. She makes her home in Maryland with her Himalayan cat, Willow. When not crafting works of fiction or laboring at her job, she can be found in the gym or at her local coffee shop. Denise writes m-m romance under Avery Dawes.

Sidney Swann Author Sidney Swann is a woman with more interests than time to pursue them all. An unapologetic geek, she revels in all things technological and considers every computer gadget a must have. However, despite her love for electronics, she's rather old-fashioned in her other pursuits. She loves formal teas and Renaissance Faires, although her favorite time period is the Victorian era. She's quite fond of cats and books, and has a decided weakness for gentlemen in three-piece suits. She convinced reincarnation is real, and hopes that next time the gods will get it right, and she'll wake up in Victorian England.

Joelle Casteel has been writing for as long as she can remember. Explicit, graphic, her writing isn't for minors or the easily offended. Once upon a time, she preferred to write on a PC, sitting on a stool- there were those who told her she looked like Tori Amos playing the piano. She's still trying to get the hang of writing in an arm chair instead, although she manages to amuse her Master with her tiny feet up on a big ottoman. With BDSM gaining a broader audience with various books- which she will not name because she can't stand them- she feels it's past time to put out her impression of what BDSM can look like in reality.
