New author Xaviera Snow now has two eBooks launched on Amazon.com. From her diaries, come some wild and erotic adventures  from across the globe. Sure, she's changed names, locations and such to protect the innocent, but her stories are her own told in first person.

The second installment is Erotic Liaison, a titillating tale of her time spent with a German diplomat, one in which she found herself in it but deep - more so than she bargained for. In her time in Munich, she was introduced to submission, bondage, burgeoning love, and even loss. Snow's experiences are truly engaging to all the senses.

A short and hot new series from Xaviera Snow

Available on Amazon.com.
From author Xaviera Snow comes a new series of short, erotic, stories.  The Erotic Diary of Xaviera Snow.  (First entry is The Power of Three), and she has self-published.  The difference is, she says they're true.

"They come from my personal diary, a diary I've kept since around 1980, but it didn't get juicy until 1982.  So I figured that's where the real story begins..."

Snow (not her real name) shares that she has lived an amazing life that began as a nanny to affluent families, but progressed to so much more; personal assistant, plaything, mistress, submissive, dominant, and more.  All of this, she says, she did with her eyes wide open.  The compensation turned out to be lucrative by way of extravagant vacations, outrageous adventures, material things like jewelry, furs, real estate, and money.  She claims to have spent intimate time in the company of many wealthy individuals, and now that it is forty-two years later, she's decided to spill the beans.

"Well, a lot of them are dead or near death by now, and I've changed names, and even locations to protect the ones I really cared about.  But it was a hell of a life, and I always was a giver, so why not share?"

Why not, indeed.  Snow will continue to spill the beans one diary entry at a time.  Is she for real?  Couldn't say, but the first story sure is wild.  I'd recommend it as a bedtime story for you and your lover.  If nothing else, Xaviera's erotic tales will heat up your own love life.

Exposed: The Education of Sarah Brown to move to new publisher

After hitting #1 in Erotic Mystery, Erotic Thriller, and Erotica Action/Adventure on Amazon.com last night, Exposed: The Education of Sarah Brown now has more good news (as if that wasn't good enough).  Thanks to a great story and steamier erotica, Exposed, and it's series, will soon be published under Beau Coup LLC Publishing. 

Stay tuned for that re-launch because it will be an epic party of Mardi Gras proportions.  Yes, I'll be tossing out beads (metaphorically), and we'll all be dancing in the streets carrying our fruity adult beverages. 

In the meantime, feast your eyes on these numbers!  And while you're at it, head on over to Amazon.com to download your copy.  I'm already hard at work on the next edition; The Evolution of Elsa Kreiss.  If you love international intrigue, mysterious criminal activity, and hot, hot sex, then this is the book, and the series for you.

Transplant

The mind is sometimes a dark and twisted place filled with thoughts often best left buried.  From writer Michele E. Gwynn comes this short tale inspired by contest winner, Charlene Capodice , who submitted one of two winning ideas for a science fiction short story.  Thanks to Charlene and her own twisted way of thinking, you'll never quite feel safe again.



Transplant (An original short essay by Michele E. Gwynn)
Charlene awoke long after the sun set feeling disoriented and stiff.  She stretched, reaching out her hands and rolling her wrists to work out the kinks.  She pulled her knees up to her chest one at a time squeezing, and then putting each leg back down again.  Three deep breaths and one good cough later, she sat up and put her toes on the floor.  It was cold.  Funny, she thought, but it was hot out when I laid down for my nap.  
She stood and looked around the bedroom.  It was neat.  Nothing was out of place.  James must’ve cleaned up while she slept.  Nice of him.  
The lights were out except for the one in the kitchen at the far end of the hall.  Charlene made her way toward the light feeling her stomach grumble in hunger.  
“What’re you doing?”  She called out ahead of her as she turned the corner into the kitchen.  There James sat at the four-seater oak table with spindle back chairs.  He was staring off into space, unmoving until he heard her voice.  Then he turned and stared at her, hard, but his eyes seemed blank.  It was as if he were in shock.
“Honey?  What’s wrong?”  Charlene approached her husband of the past eleven years and automatically reached out to feel his forehead testing for fever.
“Hello, dear.”  His voice sounded flat to her ears.  She felt no elevated temperature.  Indeed, he felt a little on the cold side.  
“You’re cold.  Heck, it’s kind of cold in here?  Did we have some kind of a front come in or something?”  She leaned down and kissed the top of his head before sauntering over to the refrigerator to pull out last night’s casserole for reheating.  It wasn’t there.
She turned to James.  “Did you reheat the casserole?  I don’t smell it?”  He’d gone back to staring out towards the window facing the backyard.
“Reheat”, he said.  His weird lack of response made her pause.  She looked at the back of his blonde, curly head and waited.  Glancing at the clock, she saw it was 7:30 in the evening and their son, Brad, should have been home.
“James, where’s Brad?”  James didn’t answer.  Instead, he stood up and walked towards the door leading out onto the back patio.  
“James?  Where’s Brad?”  She asked again beginning to feel alarmed.  
Just then, a loud whistle blew in the distance becoming louder as James opened the door and stepped out.   A chill wind gusted inside making Charlene wrap her arms around herself.  She wasn’t dressed for cold weather.  It was August, after all, and she wore a t-shirt and jean shorts.  Her feet were bare, but she felt the cold begin to numb her toes.  She slowly approached the open door and leaned out looking to see where her husband had gone.  She didn’t have to look far.  He was standing at the south corner of their yard doing absolutely …nothing.  The shrill whistle continued to blare.  On her right, she heard a door open and her neighbor, Elly Maddox walked outside in her bathrobe slowly making her way to the south corner of her own yard.  Her little brown weenie dog, Hector, followed, oddly silent in light of the fact that a loud, high-pitched whistle was piercing the night.  
“What the hell…”  Charlene stepped out onto the cold ground shivering as she made her way to investigate just what her husband and neighbor were doing.  Looking down across the fences of residents further down, she noticed they were all coming outside in various states of dress to walk over to and stand in the southern corners of their yards.  There, everyone stopped and stared blankly ahead.
A hand touched her shoulder.  Charlene jumped, yelping.  “Ah!”  She turned her neck, ducking down and away in response.  Her heart pounding with fear, she stumbled and fell over onto her backside.  Looking up, she noticed it was only her son, Brad.
“Jesus, son!  You scared the hell out of me.  What are you doing?  What’s going on around here?”  She started to get up, and as she did, saw the blank look in Brad’s eyes.  
She waved a hand in front of his face.  “Brad?  Hon?  What is it?  Are you sick?”   He stepped around her joining his father in the south corner of the backyard where he stopped and waited.  
“What the hell is going on around here?  James?  Brad?”  Charlene walked over the grass which had a crispness to it as if it had been recently frozen and was just beginning to thaw.  
As she reached her loved ones, Charlene stood in front of them looking from one to the other.  It was like they were in some kind of trance.  They didn’t seem to even notice her; not one flicker of their eyes indicated recognition.  The lights were on, but no one was at home in either of them.  The whistle stopped.
James and Brad looked up and raised their arms heavenward.  Charlene backed up, and turned to look skyward.  It couldn’t be!  High above in the night sky where the moon usually reigned as the brightest jewel in the obsidian background sat not one, but four moons!  Each shone brighter than the next, and in neon colors of pink and green and yellow.  Rings of sapphire blue surrounded each one, and their luminescence was so bright, it was blinding. 
“What?  Oh My God!  James, what’s going on?  Why are you staring at this?”  Charlene started falling apart as tears gathered in her eyes making the strange sight blurry.  She looked out over the yards beside and behind her house noting that all the other people were standing with arms raised to the night, unmoving.
She reached out and shook her son.  “Brad.  Stop this!  Stop it, I said!”  Brad continued his solitary stance, unresponsive to his mother’s words.  She stepped back and looked at her husband.  Without thinking, she swung her right hand and slapped him across the face, hard.
Although it was dark, she was sure she left a handprint.  Finally, James lowered his eyes and looked at his wife.  “Assimilate” was all he said before grabbing her arms and dragging her back towards the house.
“Let me go!  James!  Damnit.  What are you doing? Stop!”  She screamed, kicked, cussed, and fought injuring herself on the cold, hard ground.  Her son grabbed her legs, and three of the neighbors hopped the fences and came to help haul her back inside.  No one said a word.  The only voice that shattered the night was Charlene’s.  Her screams could be heard two blocks away, yet no one came to help her.
As Mr. Maddox closed the back door of Charlene’s house, the four moons pulsed five times before going dark, as if a light switch were flipped off in the heavens.  Hector calmly followed his owner back across the yard where he was picked up in her arms.  Elly Maddox, who was fifty-three years old last December, crouched low then sprung up and over the fence where she landed as cleanly as a gold-medal winning gymnast.  She set Hector down and they walked back inside their own home.
The night temperature fell quickly forming a light layer of frost, and all became eerily quiet.  No more whistles.  No more wind gusts.  No more screams.  Just…silence.

Hot Erotica Exposed!

Download your Kindle copy today!

It's Here!  My new muy caliente erotic international suspense novel, Exposed:  The Education of Sarah Brown has launched on Amazon.com in both eBook download and paperback for those sensuous tactile types who still love the feel of paper in their hands and the smell of fresh ink.  Yes, it's an aphrodisiac for some.

Excited doesn't begin to describe how happy I am to finally introduce the world of avid readers to Sarah Brown.  Her travels lead her into both sexual sensory overload and unexpected danger.

Sarah had no idea what she was getting herself into when she set out on her journey across Europe. A simple quest for sexual education ended up a lesson in heartbreak, an immersion into submission, and a headlong run into danger as one seemingly kind, and handsome Dutchman hides deep, dark secrets while a New York City photographer and notorious womanizer threatens to steal her heart. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a predator stalks her best friend's little brother coveting that which he cannot have. Can Sarah survive the evil that awaits as she seeks out pleasure or will pleasure be the death of her?

Barely out of the gate and Exposed has already received its first 5-Star review from fellow author Jami Brumfield who had the chance to read it before everyone else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deliciously wicked mystery that will keep you turning the pages, July 31, 2014 By JMB - See all my reviewsThis review is from: Exposed: The Education of Sarah Brown (Kindle Edition) This has to be one of the best erotica books I've read in a long time because it is so much more than intimate connections in the bedroom. There is this amazing mystery with a bad guy you can really enjoy hating. I must say I haven't disliked a character as much as I disliked him in a long time. The lead character, Sarah Brown is like a breath of fresh air with a curious side that takes the reader into a world of sexual encounters that will leave you breathless. She has multiple men, even women vying for her heart. The characters are real and each one has a voice unique to themselves. If this was an audio book you could close your eyes and tell the different from their words and actions without even knowing who they are... that is a mark of a great author. Gwynn, can really pull you into the story with the characters, the amazing descriptions of the different locations (I felt like I was right there within the story overseas), intensely hot bedroom scenes and a mystery that will leave you turning pages to get to a happy ending... I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the erotica mystery genre. Just be forewarned, you won't be able to put this book down until you reach the end and when you do you'll want to read more of Gwynn's work because she is just that fantastic!

Download or order your copy today from Amazon.com and prepare to take a journey through western Europe that dives into erotic adventure and dangerous liaisons.  (The paperback becomes available on Amazon in 5 days so mark your calendars!)

Top 10 Bestselling author Jami Brumfield interviews her own main character

Jami Brumfield has made quite a splash in the genre of paranormal romance since the debut of her first book, Lone Wolf Rising (58 customer reviews, 4.5 star-rated).  She has since published the second book in the Winters Saga, Vampire Princess Rising , and is steadily working on completing the third book, Fire Master Rising.  In between, this amazing writer actually wrote a new book in a completely separate new series titled The Witch's Vampire (#8 in Kindle Vampires).  Jami has been busy.  For fun, she sat down and interviewed her own main character, Rebecca Elizabeth Matthews Winters in this guest blog post.  If you haven't yet read her work, you'll definitely want to after this.

Interview with Rebecca Elizabeth Winters, Lone Wolf Rising (by author Jami Brumfield)
Ever wonder what the characters from your favorite books do in between the scenes playing out on the pages of that book?  They play around in the imagination of the author and fans.  Jami M. Brumfield decided to sit down with the characters from Lone Wolf Rising and find out what is important to them.  This interview is with Rebecca Elizabeth Matthews Winters.
“Okay, let’s get this over with.”  Rebecca entered the room with an impatient glare.  “I have quite a few more things to do on my task list today.”  She stood with her hands crossed over her chest. 
Jami looked up from her desk and couldn’t help but grin a little at Rebecca’s irritation.  “Well, I know you’re busy.  Please have a seat.”
Rebecca stayed in her position across the room, glancing around, most likely searching for escape points.  “I’d rather stand, thank you.”
Jami picked up her notebook and pen and stood up, putting her on the same level as the dangerous teen in her office.  “Okay,” she made her way over to Rebecca’s side of the room and sat down on the comfy couch only a few feet from Rebecca.  “Let’s get started.”  She poised her pen on the notebook and asked, “So let’s start with asking what it is like being a werewolf.”
Rebecca rubbed her hand and Jami noticed the faint outline of a tattoo there.  It disappeared as fast as she noticed it.  Rebecca narrowed her sapphire blue eyes, “you know what happens if you reveal our secret to the humans, right?”
“Yes, and I will remind you this interview is simply a follow up written for the fans of Lone Wolf Rising.”  Jami leaned forward and whispered, “they already know your secret.”
Rebecca breathed a sigh and sat down next to Jami on the couch.  “Good, because I’m not sure if you noticed, but I have a lot of pressures on me at the moment and becoming a traitor of the supernatural world is not something I can add to my plate.”
Jami just sat there silently with a grin and a nod.  Silence is golden in interviews, or was that sales?  She wasn’t sure, but decided to go with it.
“Being a werewolf is okay, I guess.  I mean, you have the painful transformation once or twice a month, but it gets easier.”  Rebecca smiled.  “Or at least you fool yourself into believing it gets better.”  Rebecca examined her unpainted, torn fingernails.  “The hard part is having your wolf constantly second guessing everything you do.  It is like a war zone in my head sometimes.”
“I can imagine.”“Can you?  Really?”
“Sure.  You think I couldn’t hear you when I created your story?”  Jami asked.
“Yeah?  Sorry, not the same thing.  I didn’t constantly tell you everything you did was wrong.” 
Jami laughed uncomfortably, “I’m sure she has calmed down a little.”
Rebecca’s sapphire eyes turned violet.  “You have no idea.” 
“Rebecca, this is our interview, not the wolf’s.”  Jami said pointedly, trying to get things back on track.
“She likes to be called Siren.”  Rebecca’s eyes converted back to sapphire and Jami released the breath she didn’t know she was holding. Rebecca’s temper could flare that fast and she knew all too well what could happen when she got upset. The girl was crazy strong and if pushed too far; fangs, claws and hair would make an appearance. Jami didn’t want that mess in her office. 
“Siren, got it!”  Jami wrote down a quick note for book two.  She cleared her throat, “so you’ve discussed the downsides to being a werewolf, are there any good sides?”
“I used to think the super human strength, enhanced senses, and speed were great benefits, but they did little to help me keep my family safe so now, I don’t know.” 
“What about being an alpha?  That has to have some perks.”
“If you can call the added responsibility, the political games, and the idea of offering someone a bite that could kill them or give them new life perks, then sure.”
“What about the handsome suitors you have falling over each other to win your heart?”
“Lucky is engaged to someone else and Gabe wants a commitment for life.  So if you think having those two gorgeous men falling over me is a perk then you are sadly mistaken.  In fact, I feel terribly guilty for the problems I bring to their lives.”  The silver circle tattoo on Rebecca’s neck seemed to sparkle. 
“It’s not all that bad, Becca.”  Jami put the pen and paper down. 
“Oh no?  You did a great job of creating a page turner for the readers, but that means my life has been turned upside down for the majority of the book.  It would be nice to have something good happen once and a while.”  She crossed her arms over her chest again.
“You have forgotten your desire to avenge your parents’ death.”  Jami started ticking off good points with her fingers.  “You have realigned the rogue wolves and given them a home.  You have the undying love of your mate.  Your family now knows a secret that has been kept from them for ten years.  You protected your brother from drugs.”
“And what about my sister?”
Jami couldn’t respond to that question.  It was a horrible thing that happened to Savvy, but it was necessary. 
Rebecca jumped up from the couch and placed her hands on her hips.  “Did you have to let my sister face that ordeal?”
Jami simply shook her head.  “Things happen for a reason.” 
“This interview is over.”  She started heading towards the door.  “Oh, and thanks for all the wonderful things you gave us.”  She said sarcastically as she slammed the door behind her and disappeared. 
Jami stared around her empty room.  “Well, you think you’ve seen challenges so far?  Wait until book two.”
