Book Showcase: The Angel of Death

Hi all,

My lovely fellow Siren author with the sexy name, Jane Wallace-Knight, has released Book 2 in her The Holy Trinity series, The Angel of Death. My reasons for wanting to read it? It's MMM, rated Sextreme, and I'm shallow...

http://www.bookstrand.com/the-holy-trinity-2-the-angel-of-death
Six months ago Sam Reed's life was changed forever. Not only did he discover that his father was an angel, but he was also turned into a vampire. On top of that Sam met his fated mate, an alpha werewolf named Jackson Harcourt, who already had a lover of fifty years, a vampire named Alek Harcourt. Miraculously the three of them built a life together and had enjoyed six months of relative bliss.

Everything changes, however, when Sam meets the father he never knew and is warned of a terrible threat. The Brotherhood of the Righteous is a sect of angels who hunt down demons and all that descend from them. A nephilim turned vampire is at the top of their hit list. With a clock ticking down and newfound powers that he can't control, Sam and his mates must decide what is best for their pack, and whether they should run, or fight.


***Adult excerpt***
He came up behind Jackson and wrapped his arms around the wolf’s torso. He gently bit down on the man’s ear, making him moan and break his kiss with Sam. Taking Alek’s hand in his own, Jackson guided it down to his cock, which was just peeking out of the surface of the water. Alek took it in his hand and began stroking it slowly, his lips fastening to Jackson’s throat. He caught Sam’s hungry eyes and beckoned him closer, silently offering him the other side of Jackson’s throat.
“Yeah,” Jackson whispered. “Bite me.”
With a shared smirk at their mate’s eagerness to be their dinner, they both bit down together. Alek closed his eyes at the familiar, musky taste on his tongue. Since Sam’s transformation, the two vampires had shared many a human, especially as he was Sam’s sire, and took the responsibility seriously. It had been his job to teach Sam how to feed on a human without harming the human. It was a fairly new thing, nightclubs and hotels that offered a willing human to feed on. However, sharing Jackson was always better than feeding from a human. Firstly, wolf blood had a unique and delicious taste to it, and secondly because it usually led to sex afterwards.
Alek’s hand, where it pumped Jackson’s cock, was joined by Sam’s and as Jackson began to buck up into the touch, they both pulled off his neck, not wanting to weaken him.
Alek let go of them both abruptly, getting a whine from them both. “As I was last in, I get to watch. So give me a show,” he said with a wink.
Sam smirked at him. “You lost on purpose didn’t you? I know you have a voyeur kink, you pervert.”
Alek smirked back at him and shrugged one elegant shoulder. As Sam could hold his breath indefinitely, Alek considered telling him to blow Jackson under the water, but he knew firsthand that salt water didn’t taste nice. “Jackson, open him with your fingers, fuck him nice and slow with them.”
Sam and Jackson both groaned at the suggestion and Jackson grabbed his smaller mate roughly, pulling him in front of him. Sam rested his forehead against one of Jackson’s well-defined pecs as Jackson grabbed Sam’s backside, his fingers quickly finding their target.
Sam gasped at the sudden, but not unwelcome, intrusion. As a vampire he didn’t need lubrication or stretching, and he didn’t need it gentle either, as there was no burn or pain, only pleasure. No matter how much sex they had, he was never sore after.
Alek stroked himself below the surface of the water and watched Sam’s face as Jackson finger-fucked him. The smaller man tipped his head back as he bobbed up and down on the digits. Alek’s eyes darted to Jackson’s face. The werewolf looked so raw and primal as his hungry eyes took in Sam’s appearance. The young man looked sinful and sexy and Jackson growled deep in his throat. Alek always loved Jackson like that. There was something about their mate losing control and looking so feral, like a predator getting ready to pounce on his prey.
Jackson roughly grabbed a handful of Sam’s curls and held his head back while he devoured Sam’s mouth with his own. Alek groaned and gripped the base of his cock in an effort to tame his lust.
“So fucking beautiful,” he whispered, knowing that they could both hear him.
He watched with hungry eyes as Jackson fucked Sam’s mouth with his tongue, his fingers still pumping in and out of the well-stretched hole.
“Lift him up and sit him on your cock, Jackson,” Alek instructed, his voice rougher than usual.
Both of his mates moaned as they broke their kiss and Alek could see by Sam’s face the moment that Jackson’s fingers left his arse.
With another growl, Jackson wasted no time in doing as he was told. He picked up their mate, hoisting him up effortlessly. Sam instinctively wrapped his legs around Jackson’s waist as Jackson sunk him down, slowly, onto his cock. Alek could see Sam’s own erection trapped between their bodies and he knew that there would be enough friction for Sam to get off.
Alek moved closer to them so that he was standing right beside them and allowed himself to reach out a hand to gently tug on one of Sam’s nipples. The hybrid moaned and put his arms around Jackson’s neck as he began moving up and down, fucking himself on the werewolf’s hard cock.
Jackson’s chocolate-brown eyes looked black with lust as he pumped his hips, meeting Sam as the young man sunk himself down even deeper.
It was so intensely erotic for Alek to watch them together, but then all of their lovemaking was. He stroked his own cock harder and continued to torment Sam with his free hand. He slid it lower down Sam’s body until he had made a loose fist around the young man’s dick. Sam cried out and fucked himself down harder onto Jackson, who let his head fall back as he gave in to his lust.

Book Spotlight: Zander's Story by Hennessee Andrews



Zander Wesley feels cursed by his sexuality. While he wouldn’t change it, he is having difficulty coping and finding his place in the world. His family exiled him from their lives years ago, but the pain of rejection still haunts him as well as the memory of the beating he suffered at his father’s hand.

At thirty-two, Zander wants more than a life on the road and working for someone else during the winter. He has saved for a ranch, and all he needs to do is find it.

When Zander runs into Dean Buchanan and John Acker, desire he has held for the two heightens to a new level. He believed the men were straight, but a rendezvous with Dean in his horse trailer proves him wrong. Dean admits his feelings and expresses his want for more than just a fling. The only problem is John. Can he overcome his jealousy and succumb to his desire for Zander?

Release Day Special: Tied Desire by Megan Slayer

Today I have the fabulous Megan Slayer here with her brand-spanking (no pun!) - new release Tied Desires, Book one in the Club Desire - Series. The tags alone (M/M, Anal Sex, Toys, Spanking, BDSM) make me itch to read it, but before I let you look at the blurb, let's see what Megan herself as to say about her book and more:
 


The business ones

Please give us a short introduction about yourself
I’m short, have blue hair and laugh a tad too loud for my own good. Curiosity killed the cat and probably will do me in, too.

What genre(s) do you write in and why?
Contemporary, paranormal and LGBT erotic romance. Why? The characters told me to. I know, it’s not the most academic answer, but it’s the truth.

Tell us about your latest release
Tied Desire is the first in the Club Desire series over at Resplendence Publishing.
Get your rocks off however you want at Club Desire. We’re not easy and we’re not free, but we are discreet. Find your fantasy in the club.

Hee hee. It’s a BDSM club but all of the characters in the series are gay. They have plenty of fun and it’s all hot. Tied Desire features Master Zane and Ford, a race truck driver. Ford goes to Club Desire to soothe his wounded soul after his friend and sometimes lover passes. What happens next is sure to melt the screen.

Do you need a special setting to write in or do you have a ceremony to get you in the mood? What does it look like?
Nope. I write whenever I can get the ten seconds to put pen to page or fingers to keyboard. Sometimes I listen to specific playlists to get in the mood. I’ve been on an Evans Blue kick. I also like to listen to the Avengers movie. I tend to write while the movie is playing so I’m not actually watching it. Just listening. I write while on the couch, on my bed, at my desk and wherever I can tote my notebook. J

Describe your feelings when you learnt that your first book was accepted for publication
Oh my goodness. I screamed. Jumped up and down. My heart raced and I about passed out. I couldn’t believe something I’d written was going to go out to the masses. Then I worried about what readers would say. It was exciting and scary as hell. But I keep putting stuff out because I can’t NOT write.

The nosy ones

How much of the real “you” is in your stories?
A lot of me is in my stories. I tend to write dark haired characters. As my alter ego, I wrote a character with blue hair...oddly enough like me. My characters tend to have a healthy dose of fear in them as well. They don’t like to let other people down and that’s very much me.

What’s the silliest error in a book you’ve submitted?
I’ve probably done sillier, but, “she took his face tot he back of her throat”

Yes, I subbed with tot he instead of to the and face instead of cock. Oy...

Favourite comfort food?
I don’t know that it’s a comfort food per regulations, but there’s a little place about twenty or so miles from where I live where they sell cheese and such that’s all home made. I could go there and get tons of the home made chocolates. That’s my comfort food – Grandpa’s Cheese Barn Chocolate.

A person you admire
My grandmother. She has dementia and Alzheimer’s, but she doesn’t let the diseases get her down. She might tell the same story fifteen times in the same visit, but she’s always chipper and happy. Always smiling. I’m not sure she understands what’s wrong with her, but she doesn’t let it get her down.

If you could ask any person in the world one question of your choice, who would it be and what would you ask them?
My grandmother on my mother’s side. I’d ask her why she made some of the decisions she made and why she never tried to meet us kids.

The fast ones

Favourite colour? blue

Favourite pet? Cats – the black and white cat, Captain America.

Dog or cat? cats

Coffee or tea? Neither. I never acquired the taste for either.

Quickie or candles? Both. I like it hot and quick with a lot of fire.

Hunky or chunky? Hunky.

Suit & tie or jeans & boots? Jeans and boots. I want him to do work and look good doing it.

Walk in the park or chat over cocktails? A walk in the park and then chatting over cocktails...then smexin’.




Ohhh... that sounds good. Thank you for the interview, Megan, and now let's visit Club Desire...



Get your rocks off however you want at Club Desire. We’re not easy and we’re not free, but we are discreet. Find your fantasy in the club.

Ford Gehrig likes everything hard—his racing and his sex life. His career driving stock trucks is riding high. He’s a top performing rookie. Club Desire fulfills his needs for pain in his pleasure. But even a strong man has his breaking point. His wounds run deep and won’t be easy to overcome. Will the club be his salvation or his downfall?

Master Zane knows the rough side of the club well. He’s been at Desire longer than many of the Doms. Few subs turn his head like Ford. He wants the hot blond on his table, against his cross and in his bed. Nothing at the club comes easily, but Zane’s not one to give up. Will he be able to pierce the protective walls around Ford’s heart, or will his own past be the barrier he can’t destroy?

Only time, some cuffs and a few spankings will tell if this tied desire is meant to last.

Get your Tied Desire here: http://www.resplendencepublishing.com/m8/639-978-1-60735-740-7--tied-desire-club-desire-series-book-one-by-megan-slayer.html


Author bio:
When she's not writing the stories in her head, Megan Slayer can be found luxuriating in her hot tub with her two vampire Cabana boys, Luke and Jeremy. She has the tendency to run a tad too far with her muse, so she has to hide in the head of her alter ego, but the boys don't seem to mind.

When she’s not obsessing over her whip collection, she can be found picking up her kidlet from school. She enjoys writing in all genres, but writing about men in love suits her fancy best. The cabana boys are willing to serve, unless she needs them. She always needs them. So be nice to Javier or he will bite--on command.

She also masquerades under the name Wendi Zwaduk and is published through Changeling Press, Decadent Publishing , Liquid Silver Books, MLR Press, Resplendence Publishing, and Total-E-Bound Publishing.

New Release and #Giveaway: Beyond Your Wildest Nightmares

Hi all,

Today is the day - Beyond Your Wildest Nightmares , Book Five in the Nightmares series, has just released from Totally Bound and because I'm in the mood to celebrate, there's a surprise giveaway.

But first, let me introduce you to my latest burner - yes, the heat rating is once again close to the top, hehe. You know me...



Sometimes the horrors reality throws at us go beyond our wildest nightmares...

Half-demon Colin succeeds in unveiling one of mysterious sex-club owner Ben’s biggest secrets—much to his boyfriend Mikey’s dislike. Fortunately he knows just what to do to make Mikey happy, and they enjoy some pleasurable distractions before the nightmare that is Colin’s life continues.

Haunted by flashbacks from a past he can’t remember, Colin struggles to make sense of the mixed signals he receives from the people around him and the signals he subconsciously sends out to them.

Ben is only too willing to help Colin figure out things about himself and even Mikey isn’t immune to Ben’s devious charm. Together they continue to explore Colin’s submissive side—but is Ben the rightful third man in Colin and Mikey’s bed? Or does that place belong to a love that’s lost but not forgotten and may just play an important role in the plan to stop their mutual enemy?

***Excerpt***
“Are you fucking insane?” Mikey yelled as he whirled around to glare at me. He’d stopped so abruptly that I almost knocked into him.
“No! Just calm down and let’s talk about it, okay?”
Flailing his hands and puffing out his cheeks, he made a sound between anger and despair. “How can you expect me to calm down now? Bloody hell, Colin, what were you thinking?” He frowned. “Were you thinking anything at all? How could you do this?”
“Gosh, Mikey, it really isn’t that big a deal,” I said, attempting to soothe him even though he was clearly beyond soothing.
“Not that big a deal? Get real, love. Maybe it’s not that unusual for you, Mr Half-Fucking-Demon, but it definitely is a fucking tremendous deal for me.”
“Can you stop shouting the D-word, please?” I grumbled through clenched teeth.
“There’s no one around,” he pointed out.
We were in the hall outside Ben’s private playroom in his club, Benedict’s Chambers, just minutes after Mikey had watched Ben fuck—and suck—me. It had all happened too fast for me to give Mikey a warning. In fact, I’d been more than a little surprised myself, despite knowing right from the moment I’d met Ben that it was only a matter of time until he would reveal his true nature. I was too much of a temptation for him not to.
I’d barely recovered from the sensations, the sheer overwhelming intensity of the act, when Mikey had fled from the room, his face distorted into a mask of horror. He’d never even closed his fly. Suddenly conscious of wearing nothing underneath the thin blanket I’d wrapped around my shoulders, I pulled it a bit tighter, then I cast an anxious glance up and down the deserted aisle before glaring at Mikey. “So? You didn’t check if we were alone, did you?”
He tilted his head, using the advantage of his height to look down on me. “So-fucking-what? The people who come here would hardly mind, would they?”
“I doubt that many of them know everything,” I replied, aware that he wasn’t referring to our lack of decent clothing. “A few of them, yes, but most think it’s just a place to enact some kinky fantasies.”
“‘Kinky fantasies’?” Mikey snorted. “I’ve never heard it called that before, and besides, it isn’t about that, right?”
“Oh, come on, you know what I’m trying to say.”
“What, that your new playmate abuses their deviousness for his own purposes?”
His aggression annoyed me. At the same time it turned me on. My man was gorgeous when he was mad, and arousal had tinted his cheeks a delicate shade of pink even before his fury had added the wild gleam in his eyes. I longed to take him to bed. The sex was bound to be spectacular with him in a mood like that, but sadly, I doubted that I’d succeed if I came on to him now.
The sound of approaching voices forced us into grave silence. I turned towards the wall and kept my face averted until two men had walked past us and disappeared around the corner farther down the hallway. They probably hadn’t heard Mikey’s comment, but I wasn’t keen on being recognised as it was.
“Look, sweetheart,” I said, aiming to sound calm and sensible. “It’s not like I haven’t told you about their existence, is it? And he really isn’t a bad guy, you know? He’s just… Uh, well, different. Special.”
Mikey stared at me with raised eyebrows. “‘Different’? ‘Special’? Good grief, Colin. He’s not an endangered species, he’s—”
“That’s exactly what he is,” I snapped, not caring that my voice had turned into a vicious snarl. “And incidentally, so am I—probably even more so than he is.”
Glaring at me, Mikey took a deep breath, then he nodded slowly as he let the air out in a long sigh. “You knew what he was, didn’t you? When you started to go after him, I mean.”
“Yes.”

And now, my lovelies, here's the giveaway I announced earlier. This one is, of course, for fans of the series, so the prize is some hot Nightmares swag - but you have to earn it, hehe.

A Safe Place - Release Date and Blurb Reveal

Hi all,

A Safe Place, the long-awaited fourth book in the Romeo & Julian series, will be published by Siren-Bookstrand on March 19th, 2014 (not much longer now!), so please, mark your calendars!

To give you a little taste of what's about to come, here is the official blurb, that was just sent off to Siren:


Some good boys are best when they’re bad—and FBI-Agent Julian Harris knows that no one is better at being bad than his lover Romeo. They are assigned a new case, the high-profile Houdini-Heist, which leads them to France, Romeo’s country of origin, where he is supposed to play his role as art thief to meet a contact person.

When events take a dramatic turn, yet more secrets from Romeo’s mysterious past are revealed and some of them have the potential to get them killed. At the same time, the wish for a quieter life and a blast from the past lead Romeo into a temptation that is hard to resist. But is running away from the only safe place he’s ever known and escaping to the dark side really the solution for Romeo? Or can Julian convince him that there is another way out?

Release Day and #giveaway: A Never Ending Nightmare

Hi all,

A Never Ending Nightmare, Book three in the Nightmares series, is now available from Totally Bound.



A terrible revelation has turned half-demon Colin’s life into a never ending nightmare and knowing whom to trust has become more important than ever.

After a gruesome revelation turns his life upside down, half-demon Colin Meighan still struggles to accept what he has found out when yet more severe changes are imminent. His demon side gains strength and he has a hard time coming to terms with the physical alterations he's going through. Knowing who to trust has become more important than ever but a series of events force him to keep a tight grip on his psychic powers.

When the secret organisation that controls Colin sends him on another mission, he appears to have failed at first but then a daring manoeuvre wins him more than just one new admirer. While the sex is as hot as ever and allows Colin to further discover his submissive side, his explorations not only reawaken unwelcome memories in him—they also put a strain on the relationship with his established lovers, Mikey and Sasha. These pressures may just become too much for them to bear and make Colin believe that for a demon like him, life is a never ending nightmare.


Get it here: www.totallybound.com/a-never-ending-nightmare

To celebrate, I'm running an exclusive flash-giveaway on my new Facebook - Fanpage. Hop over to join: www.facebook.com/sage.marlowe1

Special Guest: Alp Mortal


Please welcome today's special guest Alp Mortal who has patiently made his way through my questions and had come up with some intriguing answers.

The business ones

Please give us a short introduction about yourself
My name is Alp Mortal and I was born in 1965 on the Isle of Wight. I guess you could call me a dedicated self-publishing author; I call myself a story-teller with a passion for story-telling and sharing my stories. I’m writer of m/m gay romance and crime thrillers. I’m currently living in France, in the middle of nowhere, on the top of a mountain in the heart of a forest, growing my own food and generating my own clean energy, writing and self-publishing. I guess I’m trying to live the indie dream and attempting to honour all of life's gifts. I am a founding member of the charity "Maha Sukha", a charity that supports a monastery in Nepal. I donate all my US$ royalties to the monastery, with the aim to raise the money to build the classroom for the kids that live at the monastery and in the surrounding area.
[image error]
What genre(s) do you write in and why?
I write m/m romances and crime thrillers. My gay romances are often very romantic, frequently poetic and sometimes epic. That said, I’ve just started a series based around brief encounters. The gay romance is, for me, the most exciting sub-genre and one in which male authors appear to be under-represented; I don’t write hard core or erotica as a rule, erotic yes, but not erotica. I don’t know why I write gay romances beyond wanting to depict the type of romantic story that I personally want to read myself. The romantic voice comes readily to my mind but then I am first and foremost a poet … and an incurable romantic!

I love crime thrillers. I especially enjoy intrigue and mystery. My primary vehicle is The Dog and The Eagle trilogy of which two parts have been published. The hero and heroine are both gay, as it happens. I had a lot of fun creating Hannah Smith, the only truly female character that I’ve created; she’s a bit of a ‘gal’ and probably more like me than Charlie Hargreaves, her sidekick. I write from the criminal’s point of view; much more interesting than the investigation side; it has a deeper well of motivation to draw on for me personally.

Tell us about your latest release
I am writing and publishing almost non-stop; it’s addictive. Recently I published the single volumes of all the gay romantic epics that had previously been published in three parts.

Those stories are:

· The Map Stick – the first journey (The War and Rane Journey Series)

· The Weaver and The Loom

· The Awakening

· The Shell and The Granite Pearl

· Brave

Do you need a special setting to write in or do you have a ceremony to get you in the mood? What does it look like?
I write at the kitchen table; writing is food; where better!? Make coffee, light cigarette, open laptop; thereafter the Universe could end I wouldn’t know about it.

Describe your feelings when you learnt that your first book had appeared on the shelf
That was on 3rd January 2013. I cried and threw up. 71 books later and I still cry but don’t throw up as much.

Has the release of your first book changed anything in your personal life? If so, what?
Yes, I’ve met such wonderful people through the process, people like Liz Winters and Hollie Bowrie. It has also made me appreciate my gift more fully. Words ignite thoughts, feelings, emotions, reactions and inspire the creative process. The feedback I have had has been wonderful; it encourages me to try to write better stories. I also think of myself as an author; it makes answering the question easier when you come to occupation on an application form!

Where do you find inspiration?
Everywhere and everything can and has inspired a story, from my own past to silly comments people make or things that I see, from a near death experience to dialling the wrong telephone number; all comes within the sphere of potential material.

Who is your favourite character and why?
Dane Danois, the hero of The Great Dane Saga; he’s the most fabulous gay man in the Universe and the person who I would most want to be.

A favourite line from one of your books “I love you”

Your favourite drink and food when writing
Coffee and cigarettes; I forget to eat when I’m writing; I forget to do most things.

The nosy ones

How much of the real “you” is in your stories?
From a molecule to a kilo; just depends but there is always something.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? Who was it?
Edward Cullen.

Who is your least favourite of the characters you’ve written? Why?
By design, Ben in Juxtaposition, he’s the root of all evil, I hate writing ugly, but he had to be ugly, he’s a beautiful man but rotten; it jars the nerves and causes me nightmares.

The steamiest scene from your books
Maybe not the steamiest but for me the one most likely to ignite the taper is the first time between Alfie and Pol in A Life Long Love. The entire love story between Archie and Nathan in Brave takes the wallpaper off the walls.

Favourite comfort food?
Chocolate!

A person you admire
Every self published author and The Queen.

If you could ask any person in the world one question of your choice, who would it be and what would you ask them?
Stephenie Meyer – why did you let them make such awful films of your books?

The fast ones

Favourite colour? – Ceylon Sapphire Blue (teamed with blonde hair!)

Favourite pet? – I don’t have any of my own at the moment; I always had dogs in the past.

Dog or cat? - Dog

Coffee or tea? – Coffee, very strong

General Release: A Living Nightmare



A Living Nightmare, Book two in the Nightmares-Series is now also available from reputable distributors


When demons exist in human shape, life itself can become a nightmare.

Gay porn star Colin Meighan and his lover Mikey Fawkes could have been as happy as any couple fresh in love, if it weren’t for the fact that Colin is an incubus demon. His need to feed on his partner’s emotions leaves Mikey drained of energy and ageing prematurely. Before they can find a solution to their problems, Colin is abducted and forced to use his supernatural powers to manipulate young, innocent Sasha, the only son of Gareth DeForest, MP, who has become the target of a secret organisation. Eaten up by the loss of Mikey and the realisation that their relationship is doomed, Colin finds himself unable to play the role he’s been assigned and even worse, he’s falling for Sasha despite his better judgement.

When Mikey unexpectedly reappears into Colin’s life and takes an interest in Sasha, some of their problems appear to be solved, but just as the last pieces are about to fall into place, events take an appalling turn. Colin has to face the bitter truth about his heritage—a truth that makes him understand that when demons exist in human shape, life itself can become a nightmare.
