KEEPING IT REAL ~ THE BATTLE BIZ FOR BOOK REVIEWS

THE BATTLE BIZ FOR BOOK REVIEWS

Yep, like all the blogs before me and the ones that will come aft, I will start mine off with the same damn line— “You just finished a book and it’s looking Shiny on Amazon, except for the gaping hole down on the bottom of the page where all the reviews go— so now what?”

 

 

 

Well, new authors, truth is: WELCOME TO THE BUSINESS OF BEING AN AUTHOR— it’s called sticking your neck out and getting folks to look at your book. It’s about taking precious time away from writing to promo, book, beg, and market. It’s about not looking in the mirror to see how many new gray hairs have cropped up since you last checked the sales data. In a word— UHG!

 

 

You network with others, you submit your book to numerous book review websites, and get tossed into a queue line, that just keeps getting longer and longer. You do give-a-ways for honest reviews, and keep your fingers crossed that those free book receivers will hold true to their word and actually post something, even better if the reviews are good ones.

 

You work diligently to build up a fan base on a favorite social network and chat with fans often enough that you hope they don’t mind your occasional shameless plug about posting a review:

 

 

You do whatever you can to stand out among the rest.

 

 

But trust me when I say: even the kings of peaCOCKing struggle with the task of getting that Amazon void filled.

 

Make all the duck faces and status posts you want— you have a long, long road ahead of you kiddo— and we’re all on it. {I’m just to the right of the second hump, in the bushes, dropping trough – I had to pee so bad}

 

 

Ever get stuck in bumper-to-bumper, gridlock traffic on the highway? Somewhere, way yonder ahead of you is a either an accident or construction zone that has the place closed to one lane and you are stuck like all the others, waiting for you turn to move— and then out of nowhere some ass hole pulls out of the lane, some one hundred cars BEHIND you and starts booking-it up the shoulder and passes you right along with about a hundred others AHEAD of you— you know what I am talking about because the keys under your fingers are starting to melt. You’ve been stuck in this shit for over an hour now and here comes this mofo pulling shady moves.

 

And before you know it, a few more follow suit.

 

Now, you could do it too and pass off about 200+ cars sitting ahead of you, and get out of this mess in under 30 minutes, because you’ve seen the light during the last crested hill. Question is— are you really THAT DISHONEST?

In the exploding business of Indy authors it seems there is also an equal amount of dishonesty taking place. It’s called Buying High Ranked Reviews and you can get them in bulk.

 

Now buying reviews isn’t a new thing. At www.Kirkusreviews.com and www.ForwardReviews.com, you can buy a ‘single’ review written from a highly regarded Best Selling Author of your genre. However, it will also cost you upwards of around $400.00{per review} and there is no guarantee it will be a five star rating or even a good one. {nope sorry not even for 4 big bills will you get lucky enough to have Stephen King or the likes write that your book gave them a boner – there really are some things you can’t buy in life}

 

But, a new site popped up roughly a year ago, www.GettingBookReviews.com; or that’s when it was first being whispered about with a not so kind reflection by many authors who struggle and worked hard for every review they get by their writing talent and friendly chatter alone. Nevertheless, this service has taken off considerably, especially among first time published Indies. And most certainly others have joined in like www.kwnypublicity.com

 

Now don’t get me wrong, this is by no means meant to bash Indy Authors, for Talon and myself are also Indies. Some really awesome authors are Indies or a mix of Indy & Traditional publishing. But let me give you a visual from mine and Tal’s perspective. His first novel: Becoming His Slave was released with editing issues, not because we didn’t have it edited, but because we got scammed by an editor after shelling out $300.00 thinking they did a great job and fooled us to thinking maybe we weren’t as bad at grammar as we knew we were and so we put it out there. Now, Talon for all his peaCOCKing abilities, sold plenty of books and his fans and friends loved him, but guess what his reviews said of his book?

 

 

“Great story but PLEASE get it edited.”

 

“I really tried to love this but the grammar and homophones just killed it.”

 

“I loved this story and the characters were HOT, but the errors in it were distracting.”

 

Not the kind of reviews you wanted to see, even when these same reviews ranged from 5 STARS {whoohoo} to 2 STARS {grumbles}.

 

Ask any author and they will recall with an abundance of detail the flop sweats and nerve racking wait for the first review to arrive. Of course, the first is usually from a friend and they are great liars because they believe in you and, of course, they want to see you succeed; so they leave a 5 star review. Your first non friend posted 4 or 5 has you squealing— but when that first 1 or 2 arrives, you invent all kinds of mass destruction for the reviewer, and you vent IN PRIVATE with your little support group and your author buddies will take pity on you because they were there one time too.

 

 

So how does, a first time author manage to get 80 reviews in 5 days and every one of them is a perfectly worded, meticulously thought out, sales pitch review?

 

MONEY.

 

Review packages start at around $79.00 for the reviews, plus the purchase price x the number of reviews.

 

For instance. You want their services for you new book:  JOE DOES A BLOW JOB by Joe Blow

 

You pay 79.00 for the initial services, choose your package, in this case you decide to go for the home run and want 100 reviews. Your Amazon retail price is $4.99. So you will pay the service to buy 100 copies of your book at 4.99ea {you at least get most of that back in your royalties} and as guaranteed by their services you will receive 100 – 5 STAR reviews within 1-2 weeks time. Each review is a verified purchase, protecting it from getting pulled {this was the company’s newest addition in the terms & conditions after Amazon started yanking even legit reviews left by non-purchasers}

 

And man oh man do the sales start pouring in— next thing you know these first time published books are soaring to the top of the charts and taking roots in the top five of the seller lists.

Now, to be perfectly frank with you: On the outside I was —AWESOME FOR YOU!!!— however, on the inside I was like —Huh? Wha-How? What the Fuck?— with envy.

 

Now, this is not to say that all books that hit the charts are not there by legit means. There are plenty that get out, having the right combination of popularity and networking, reach the mass audiences with plenty of fan backing. And because these books are just incredible stories that steal our hearts, they most certainly deserve their well earned rise to the top.

 

 

 

I must add, when standing in the spotlight you inevitable also put yourself under the microscope and people take notice— especially your peers. We’re there, writing, editing, blogging, promoting, more writing, more editing, networking 24/7 because sleep is soooo over rated— we know the drill.

Whether just getting out the gate with one book or a champion with thirty-plus— the game of authorship is as unchanging as it was twenty years ago. And you should know if you fast tracked it like magic, everyone else is going to be doing some serious rubber necking and take notice. After all, we want in on your expertise to instant stardom: {just add water}

 

 

Granted, we’re all looking for the next great way to get our books out there where the readers will see us and hopefully buy our books. We hope they will like or love them enough, they become devoted fans. And for the most of us, we try by honest means. Because let’s face it, whatever claims you make— you’d best be ready to back it up.

 

 

So what does it all boil down to in the end— I guess we’re still waiting on that review.

 

Did I just read a different book?

 

When the five stars don’t match up, when honest reviewers get attacked for posting lower rates, readers start to take notice, and so do other authors. Only, when your peers take notice, they tend to sit back; perhaps buy a bag of marshmallows {don’t forget the wine} and wait for the roasting to begin. In the end you will get the storm you created— unlike your Fake Rave Reviews, expect a mix bag of reactions:

 

 

And chances are eventually you’ll find yourself back at the end of the line— only the climb the second time around is a doozy.

For anyone else, I suppose the best forms of advice I can give {being only an author who has made it to the second rung of the ladder, would be the following:

 

~~ If someone gives you a lift, remember them and give back. If you can’t for them, then for someone else and pay it forward.

 

~~ If you have the pocket money to invest, use it for editing and developing. at least those things can never be taken away from you or your book.

 

~~ Keep it real. Honest reviews pay off in the long run and you always get to keep what you earned.

 

~~ He who squawks the loudest gets eaten first. Or in this case he who stands under the street lamp of a dark alley jingling the coin in his pockets gets mugged first.

 

Just remember, for all the colors in the world, at some point you’re going to stand naked before the judge— be ready, because karma is a badass bitch and she always makes sure the rest of the class gets to watch in the lesson of humiliation.

Whether they have decided to take their money and run, go underground and will eventually surface another time under another name, time will tell— what will also be out for review is how certain authors will fair in future titles without their fancy purchased reviews.

Talon’s Mad Mad peaCOCKing on the Fence Guest Spotlight – starring Tara Rose

Talon’s Mad Mad peaCOCKing on the Fence Guest Spotlight – starring Tara Rose

Good day Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to Talon’s peaCOCKing fence. Where today Author Tara Rose  was thrown under the bus by her peers who shall remain nameless **coughsTymberDaltoncoughs**  and dragged into my Mad Mad way of conducting this friendly interview and share the roost with my special guest. Please gather about while popcorn and refreshments are passed around for your enjoyment, and give a warm welcome to this week’s guest. 

 

Now,  while our guest is acclimating to the fact she cannot escape for some uncertain amount of time from my Mad mercy, in my custom made bondage beanbag fence nest, {and we made sure she couldn’t possibly pronounce her safe word properly}… I would like to take a moment to tell you about her newest book:

 CHASING FELICITY by Tara Rose

 

 Pastry chef Felicity Featherstone falls hard for Dom Maverick Orantes, but he’s not the only man pursuing her. Paranormal investigator Kane Easton arrives in town in search of fake ghost hunter Trace Coleman. He makes no bones about his plans to leave once he’s exposed the man, but Felicity can’t resist Kane’s charm.

Maverick Orantes loved once and lost. He’s reluctant to give his heart away again until he meets Felicity. But Kane has stolen her affections as well, and Maverick realizes she wants and needs them both. As his uncle’s involvement with Trace Coleman’s illegal activities is revealed, Maverick needs both Felicity’s love and Kane’s alliance.

Kane Easton comes to Passion Peak from Connecticut to exact revenge on Trace Coleman for what the man did to his family. But he must leave town once that’s done because of his family and financial obligations. However, if he does, he’ll leave behind the only woman he’s ever truly loved.

>> Welcome, Tara … **checks to be sure you are very comfy, even pointing out the nice writing desk so you feel at home, while forcing you to watch Johnny Hazzard porn while we conduct the interview** Please state your name for the record…

Tara Rose

 

>> And is it true you are a writer of  *waggles eye brows* naughty (romance) things?

I’m afraid so! I’m one of those wild and crazy Siren exclusive authors. My first series is called Racy Nights. Get it? Racy, as in racy behavior, racy underwear, etc. Then, as if that weren’t naughty enough, I named the second series Passion Peak, Colorado, and I set it in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains so my characters could snuggle on cold, winter nights. I also have a shifter series debuting in October called The Alpha Legend.

 

>> Where were you on the night Colonel PeaCOCK, got laid with the candlestick (that’s California talk for boytoy) in the billiards room?

I didn’t do it. I couldn’t have. I was in Racy, Indiana with three…no make that four…of my heroes, conducting research. Yeah, that’s it. Research. I have to make sure these scenes can actually be performed in real life, you know. Colonel PeaCOCK had already left. I mean, I don’t know Colonel PeaCOCK. Or his candlestick.

 

>> Everyone knows I’m a rule breaker. And for me fantasy is a huge format to explore that. However, for some writers they can’t bring themselves to break some taboos, out of fear it will act as a reflection of their real life. What about you? What are some of the taboos you just find irresistible in the fiction world. Are there some taboos you won’t venture into, even in the fantasy world?

I won’t write dubious consent, or non-consensual sex or BDSM play. I realize there’s a growing market for both, but not only does it act as a trigger for many women, but to me it’s simply not sexy. So much of the sex act is mental and emotional, for women at least. And, because I’m a romantic at heart, for me it’s far, FAR sexier if a man is seducing me than simply dragging me off, caveman style, to his bed, or billionaire pad, or a corner of the club, or whatever. Any primate can act that way. But it takes a real man – a heroic man – to woo her with flowers, or the right music, or food, or simply the right words, whispered into her ear as he pulls just hard enough on her hair, or spanks her ass in a teasing gesture. Little things like that are far more likely to make my blood boil, so those are the things I write about.

 

>> If you could truly escape the everyday life and live inside one of your books, which one would it be and what character would you play?

I want to be Carma in Seducing Carma – Passion Peak, Colorado 1. Her heritage is the same as mine, although my past is not as disturbing as hers. The majority of Carma’s life is a lot like mine was as a kid. The large family, the multitude of cousins, and the matriarch great aunts who ran the show. I identify with her so easily because she has so much of me inside. And I wrote her heroes Mateo and Blaine with many of the characteristics I find ideal in a man. Passion Peak is fictional, but it, of course, real to me, and I’d love to live there.

 

>> If life is like a box of chocolates, what flavor is your favorite book?

Soft, dark chocolate outside, with caramel or hazelnut filling. It’s rich, decadent, and leaves you feeling warm and gooey inside, as if you could melt right along with it.

 

>> You just finished a hard writing crunch and well… you’d probably be feeling good if it weren’t for the fact your eyes are crossed, your fingers ache, your wrist feels like it’s on backwards and your butt feels like a flat tire. What’s your secret weapon for unwinding from all that?

Sex. LOL! No, seriously. It’s more like when I’m finished writing for the day I’m charged up and ready to go from writing all those sex scenes!

 

 >>Okay, hypothetically speaking (for book research of course) what is your favorite sexual position or sex-play? (Remember, this is purely hypothetical)

Oh well, hypothetically speaking, I like it doggy style, but first I like to enjoy a nice butt-warming flogging, spanking and paddling session. And if that flogger just happens to land on other sensitive parts, well that’s fun, too. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

 

>> Fact or Fiction: Tell us the craziest place, timing or position you… errr… your characters have ever done it. And then tell us the real truth…

My characters are pretty wild! Let’s see…Julie and Sean in Tempting Their Racy Shrink did it in her office (she’s a psychologist) in the middle of the day. Cherilyn’s first encounter with Thayer and Evan was in the gym they own, after hours, in Pleasing Her Racy Doms. Summer gave both Wes and Dalton a BJ in the middle of Indulgence-the BDSM club in Passion Peak, in Training Summer. And, in Seducing Carma, Carma did it with Blaine and Mateo on a piano bench. Me? Outside a dorm on the grass. Hey, at least it was dark outside, and there wasn’t too much traffic on the street…

 

>> Is there a support group for people addicted to your books?

Yes. It’s called Hot Sex Scene Addicts Anonymous. But “support group” is such a misnomer, don’t you think? I mean, we sit there and read the scenes out loud. It’s a play on implosion therapy where you bombard a person with the thing they fear most. I’d say it’s more of an encounter group than a support group.

 

>> As an author of erotica, do you find you are more of a sex expert then say, some talk show sex experts? And could you give us a sample of advice?

I’m no expert. But here’s the best advice I can give: Seduce him/her with your mind and heart first. The rest will follow. J

 

>> I spend so much time at home writing, I hardly ever get out of the house. So my characters are my closest friends. Has your family caught on to the fact that when you talk about so and so at the dinner table that it’s really just one of your characters and not the guy next door?

Yes. Hubby is very supportive. He pretty much takes cares of everything so I can write.

 

>> Boxers, Briefs or going Commando? (feel free to share pictures-for the fans of course)

Just ordinary panties for this girl, unless I’m home all day writing in my PJs, then I’m commando.

 

>> Let’s face it, life can be hysterical. And as story tellers, we get ideas from the craziest things. Whether it be a song, a book, a movie, something someone said or you just happened to be lucky as hell to have witnessed something.  What’s the craziest thing you ever came cross that spurred you head long into a new story? And where is it hiding now?

The wind turbines in northwest Indiana as you drive up Interstate 65 inspired the town of Racy, and the entire series. And, since I wrote them into Colorado and Utah as well, they also inspired the Passion Peak, Colorado series, as well as The Alpha Legend.

 

>> The kids, family and the neighbor’s dog are gone. It’d be a holiday man and you’ve planned a naughty orgy. Which of your naughty writer friends have you invited? And who’s on top? And when will we see that book?

Well…let’s see…who would love an orgy? LOL! Most of my writing friends are women and I don’t swing that way. No problem with those who do, but there aren’t likely to be any wild orgies in my house. It’s just me and Hubby. J

 

>> And before I release you from your bonds is there anyone you would like to throw under the bus **clears throat** I mean, you would like to see here as our next guest?

I’d love to see Cooper McKenzie, Becca Van, Jenika Snow, Corinne Davies, Berengaria Brown, Reece Butler, Bella Juarez, or Lynn Hagen as your guest.

 

>> Famous last words or your favorite naughty word.

Be good. And if you can’t be good, be careful. J

Talon’s Mad Mad peaCOCKing on the Fence Guest Spotlight – starring Vicktor Alexander

Good day Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to Talon’s peaCOCKing fence. Where today Author Tara Rose  was thrown under the bus by her peers who shall remain nameless **coughsTNTarrantcoughs**  and dragged into my Mad Mad way of conducting this friendly interview and share the roost with my special guest.

Releasing November 15th from Rooster & Pig Publishing

Raising Shawna: Book One of Love & Life in the Panhandle

 

What would you do if the spirit of your dead twin brother came back?

What about if he inhabited the body of your adopted daughter?

 

Former drug addict, turned state prosecutor, Shane Occena has to deal with this when the little girl he rescues one night, named Shawna, declares that she’s the reincarnation of his brother Shawn, that he’d lost over eight years before. Feeling a connection to Shawna that can’t be talked away, Shane begins the adoption process and gains custody. When Shawna begins acting like Shawn, Shane takes her to see Child Psychologist, Tucker Ames. And that’s when his life really changes.

 

Dr. Tucker Ames spends his days talking with children helping them heal from their scars and come to grips with their gender issues and sexuality, and his nights alone, hoping for a family of his own. When he meets Shane and Shawna Occena, he finally feels as if he’s met the family that’s destined to be his. But first he has to help Shawna heal from her childhood, Shane heal from his scars, and find a way to help Shawn cross over to the other side.

 

But when allegations are brought against Shane and Tucker’s family descends on this makeshift family in Pensacola, will Tucker and Shane be able to stay together and be the parents that Shawna so desperately need? And will Shawn ever let go of his hold on Shawna and finally ascend to the afterlife? Tucker and Shane may think that they are Raising Shawna, but in the end, she may be the one to raise them all.

>> Welcome Vicktor  *slides a chair out for you to sit in, then precedes to strap you to the writing desk with fussy shackles, while forcing you to watch Johnny Hazzard porn while we conduct the interview* Please state your name for the record?

 

-stares at porn-

Wait, huh? What was the question? Oh. –glances back at porn and then back at interviewer.- My name is Vicktor Alexander.

 

>> And is it true you are a writer of  *wags eye brow* naughty (romance) things?

-gasp- What?! Who me? –looks around the room and lowers his voice- Yes, yes I am. I’m the best-selling author of the Tate Pack series, The Wilgrin Chronicles series, The Marriage Groups series, Passion’s Hero series, The Dom series and The Besties. I write everything from paranormal to BDSM to contemporary to menages to polyamorous pairings, and everything in between. Like this scene from the book I just finished writing today:

“Well, here we are,” Ronny said suggestively, walking over to where Cole stood. “Whatever should we do first?”

Ronny grinned when Cole growled sexily and turned to walk towards the bathroom, pulling off his clothes as he went. “I don’t know about you, but I could use a bath,” he said, turning to wink at Cole over his shoulder, wanting to laugh at how ridiculous he was asking but sighing in happiness at the way Cole’s nostrils flared and his eyes darkened with lust.

“I think I should come and help you get clean,” Cole suggested as he followed Ronny, pulling his shirt off.

Ronny licked his lips as the expanse of Cole’s golden tanned skin came into view. “Oh really?” he asked, his voice breathless.

Cole smirked and lowered his hands down to his pants where he unbuttoned and unzipped them all under Ronny’s watchful gaze. Ronny felt heat flood his body as the sight of Cole’s pubic hair came into view, dark blond curls surrounding Cole’s hardening shaft. Ronny whimpered and dropped a hand down to his own erection, the other hand reaching up to pinch one of his pebbled nipples.

Cole’s lusty growl caused Ronny to shiver again and he moaned when Cole kicked off his shoes, pants and boxers before taking himself in hand. Ronny watched Cole, as Cole watched him and they both languidly stroked their cocks, watching each other intently.

“You want me?” Cole asked, his voice low. Ronny whimpered and nodded his head. “How bad do you want me?”

“So bad,” Ronny replied, thumbing the slit in the head of his cock, trembling as the sensation traveled throughout his body. He lifted his thumb to his mouth and tasted the dollop of pre-cum that he’d gathered on the digit. He smiled as Cole’s eyes seemed to bore into him and sucked his thumb into his mouth. He licked and laved the digit before spitting in his hand and stroking his hard cock again. He let out a squeak when Cole growled loudly again and turned to run into the bathroom. The bathroom was big but not too big and before long Ronny found himself lifted up into Cole’s arms. He laughed and wrapped his arms around Cole’s neck.

“Well you have captured me my lusty lion, whatever shall you do with me?” Ronny teased.

 

>> Where were you on the night Colonel PeaCOCK, got laid with the candlestick (that’s California talk for boytoy) in the billiards room?

Ummm I was the one holding the candlestick while Mr. Green and Doctor Mustard played “connection” with me.

 

>> Everyone knows I’m a rule breaker. And for me Fantasy is a huge format to explore that. However, for some writers they can’t bring themselves to break some Taboos, out of fear, it will act as a reflection of their real life. What about you? What are some of the Taboos you just find irresistible in the fiction world. Are there some Taboos you won’t venture into, even in the fantasy world?

I love to try and break them all. I don’t see lines or boundaries. I write Mpreg (Male pregnancy), Interracial stories, May-December stories, BDSM stories, paranormal, menages, polyamorous (I have an entire series where there are four men, and I have another series where there are five). I have stories where one of the characters is overweight, where the smaller guy is the top, or where one of the MCs isn’t that attractive. In one of my most successful series: The Tate Pack, I have the shifter cowboys mated to a crossdresser, a transgender character, a deaf wolf shifter, a broken soldier, a former sex slave… so all that to say that I am an author who writes love that is unique and doesn’t follow the rules. Usually I finish a story and then turn and say “I crossed a line? Where? I don’t see one. Wait, I stepped out of the box? Where? When was I ever in one?”

 

>> If you could truly escape the everyday life and live inside one of your books, which one would it be and what character would you play?

 

Ugh, this is a hard one. I love the Tate Pack world, I mean c’mon shape-shifting cowboys in a world where men can get pregnant? I’m all for that! But I think I’d choose Kardalusia, the world where The Marriage Groups is set. Why? Because every man is married to three other men, men can get pregnant, the world is very aristocratic, almost Regency, but there’s magic and shape-shifters, and a whole other world where women have the same kind of world, where it’s all women. I mean imagine how much sex and how many different positions I could do if I were married to three other men…. Mmmmm.

-daydreams-

-drools-

 

>> If life is like a box of chocolates, what flavor is your favorite book?

“Change of Heart” by Mary Calmes is definitely milk chocolate filled with strawberry filling and covered with chopped peanuts. Sweet, slightly tangy, and crunchy. In a word: Delicious.

 

>> You just finished a hard writing crunch and well… you’d probably be feeling good if it weren’t for the fact your eyes are cross-eyed, your fingers ache, your wrist feels like it’s on backwards and your butt feels like a flat tire. What’s your secret weapon for unwinding from all that?

I usually have a few cigarettes, eat two Rice Krispies Treats bars, read a book, and daydream about this sexy man that I’ve nicknamed “White Chocolate.” As a matter of fact, I finished “The Beginning” today and that’s just what I did.

 

 >>Okay, hypothetically speaking (for book research of course) what is your favorite sexual position or sex-play? (Remember, this is purely hypothetical *winks*)

Favorite sexual position? #85 in the Kama Sutra book, aka “The Tripod.” Gotta have a lot of leg-strength for that one.

 

>> Fact or Fiction: Tell us the craziest place, timing or position you… errr… your characters have ever done it. And then tell us the real truth…

In Passion’s Hero, Blaze and Tal had sex outside in the palace yard, it wasn’t too late at night and since Blaze is the Alpha King there were guards standing around, in the distance of course, but they were there.

Me? Craziest place: When I worked for McDonald’s my boyfriend and I had sex in the men’s bathroom, with me bent over the sink. Time: From 3-4am, that time when the menu changes from dinner to breakfast. Position: I was bent over the sink on one leg while he held the other one up on his arm, ie. Position #85.

 

>> Is there a support group for people addicted to your books?

LOL. Yes there is. The Vicktor Alexander Yahoo Group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VicktorAlexander and they get previews of my books, snippets of my WIPs and special prizes. They also help me come up with titles, character names, series titles, etc. Not sure how much support you’ll get though, they are a rowdy bunch.

 

>> As an author of erotica, do you find you are more of a sex expert then say, some talk show sex experts? And could you give us a sample of advice?

Can you ever really BE an expert on sex though? Sex is a beautiful, exciting thing. It only stays that way if you’re continuously trying either something new or something that’s going to keep the fire going and the spice in it. Once it becomes mundane and you think you’re an expert on it, that’s when your partner(s) are left unsatisfied.

My advice: Use your tongue. Always use your tongue. Where? Everywhere. My favorite spot is the ass.

 

>> I spend so much time at home writing, I hardly ever get out of the house. So my characters are my closest friends. Has your family caught on to the fact that when you talk about so and so at the dinner table that it’s really just one of your characters and not the guy next door?

LOL. I usually introduce them “So I was writing today and Ronny did this….” But I don’t typically talk about my characters that much except to my readers or to interviewers (like you). I spend enough time going to doctor’s appointments, family get-togethers, or out to dinner with my friends that it keeps me from falling into the “My Preciousssssss” trap.

 

>> Boxers, Briefs or going Commando? (feel free to share pictures-for the fans of course)

Depends on where I’m going and who’s going to be there. Any old day it’s boxer briefs, but if I’m going to a club or a party where I know hot guys are going to be, then commando. Easy access.

 

>> Let’s face it, life can be hysterical. And as story tellers, we get ideas from the craziest things. Whether it be a song, a book, a movie, something someone said or you just happened to be lucky as hell to have witnessed something.  What’s the craziest thing you ever came cross that spurred you head long into a new story? And where is it hiding now?

I don’t know that I’d call it crazy but I was having a conversation with my bio mom about, of all things, the Bible. I asked her how did she know that the translation hadn’t excluded some important things. She asked me “What like about vampires, werewolves and elves?” And that sparked the idea for my series: Sons of Adam, which I just finished the first book of entitled “The Beginning.” And it’s about those parts of the Bible, and those people, who were removed from the Bible that we read today and what happens when their existence is revealed. It’s currently with my betas and I’ll be submitting it soon.

 

>> The kids, family and the neighbor’s dog are gone. It’d be a holiday man and you’ve planned a naughty orgy. Which of your naughty writer friends have you invited? And who’s on top? And when will we see that book?

Well the first person I’d invite would be Ross McCoubrey because…. Yum. Then Lor Rose, Hank Edwards, Amy Lane, Mary Calmes, Jambrea Jo Jones, Cherie Noel, JR Boyd, Toni Griffin, Stormy Glenn, Gabrielle Evans, Jana Downs, TN Tarrant, Wt Prater, Edmond Manning, Lex Valentine, JA Rock, and Piper Vaughn. Who’s on top? Well we switch off of course. We’re all equal opportunity, though some pairings will never happen. That would be an awesome book wouldn’t it?! Hhhhmmmm……….

 

>> And before I release you from your bonds is there anyone you would like to throw under the bus **clears throat** I mean, you would like to see here as our next guest?

Lor Rose.

 

>> Famous last words or your favorite naughty word.

Favorite naughty word: Fuck

Famous last words: You are worth it.

Talon’s Mad Mad Peacocking On The Fence Guest Spotlight – Starring Authors: JT Cheyanne and VL Moon

TALON’S MAD MAD PEACOCKING ON THE FENCE GUEST SPOTLIGHT – STARRING JT CHEYANNE AND VL MOON.

Good day Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to Talon’s peaCOCKing fence were today he plans to share the roost with a special quest. Please gather around while popcorn and refreshments are passed around for your enjoyment and give a warm welcome to this week’s guest.  

 

So while Prin and I double check the weight restriction of my fence and perhaps call in to stack our liability insurance…. Let me share with you their latest book that just happens to star the two smexy fellas up here with us today:

~  *  ~~  *  ~~  *  ~~  *  ~~  *  ~

CRIMSON REIGN

A pulse of light preceded the gift of life breathed into the coldest and darkest of souls. Bathed in the glow of celestial love and swathed in a blanket of black satin wings nestled a king among kings, a vampire born to destroy the decay threatening to eradicate the race he was destined to save.

An angelic heart torn by yearning, suffering and pain throbbed to the rhythm of the life he created; a life prophesied in the scriptures by the Creator’s own hand. A vow of servitude given in blood sealed the fate of a Seraphim’s heart and tied it eternally to the creation he craves, protects…loves.

Ancient treaties are lost and reborn, rising from the ashes as the Nephilim ravaged Malachi’s race. The deviant desire that soared in his blood threatened to bring Rome to its knees when Malachi’s world, his soul and his heart are brutally shattered and torn apart. Will purity born of an angel’s love be enough to calm the savage mind of Malachi Denali? Or will Laziel be doomed to a life of purgatory for loving the life he was gifted to create…

This is not a HEA, or even a HFN….Who knows what will happen to seal their fate….Only time will tell. Vampires, angels, demons and wolves together with love, betrayal, sadness and yearning make up the ongoing story that is…

The Crimson Nights Saga.

 

 

~  *  ~~  *  ~~  *  ~~  *  ~~  *  ~

>> Welcome VL & JT, *glances at the other two* …and company. Uhm, yeah… so you saw the movie Big with Robin Williams right? Remember the tree house scene? Good… Hard rules: No dancing, no jumping, no Topping from the Bottom, no flapping your angel wings, no biting the host or my twin and no out peaCOCKing the Host. **checks to be sure the ladies are very comfy and the boys can’t get loose least they try to misbehave. Points out the nice writing desk so you feel at home, while forcing you to watch Johnny Hazzard porn while we conduct the interview** Please state your name for the record?

JT :   *eyes the porn on screen and grins* ummm…what….oh! Name…I’m J.T. Cheyanne, mother, author, homeschool teacher, writer *still watching the screen* wait, I said that didn’t I…most important, lover of this beautiful female. *points to V.L.* Oh…manners *drags eyes away from the TV* My mom would kick my butt if I forget. Thank you for having us, we’re excited to be here.

V.L. *Waves rolling her eyes at J.T.* Girl please….You have bigger ones than that in your drawer at home!  Hey there, I’m V.L and I’m also a mother, work full time and keep this one tied to her desk. *Slaps JT’s arm as her gaze goes back to the screen*

JT :  *grins at V.L.* sorry baby…*focuses on Talon*

Lachi :   *chuckling* Malachi Denali at your service, Talon. If I’d known we were going to be playing my kind of games I’d have brought our toy box. *watches as his male is also cuffed and growls as his leathers grow extremely tight* Hope you don’t mind the angel and I crashing the interview.

Laz :  I’m the one and only baby, Laziel. *Tries to divert his attention from the screen where said mentionable hot males are getting down and dirty* Erm…hey Talon…nice show. Glad to see you’ve got such good taste in viewing material. *Slides his hand over Lachi’s thigh* Keep it calm handsome…I’m sure you can clench for a few moments longer.

 

>> And is it true you are a writer of  *wegs eye brow* naughty (romance) things?

J.T .:  * grins wickedly* YES! My first book was a male/female romance, but I have to say I have a wicked fascination with gay men getting hot and horny. I read BDB by J.R. Ward and OH.MY.GAWDS! I wanted V and Butch together so badly I could taste it. It hurt my heart she didn’t pair them.

V.L .: Most definitely, the naughtier the better. Whether it’s paranormal or romance or a mix of the two, nothing gets my mojo flowing more than some hot ‘n horny M/M action.

Lachi :  Well now, Ms. J.T. Cheyanne does the writing and *grins wickedly* yes, she is quite the naughty little female as is her writing partner V.L. Moon. Those two females are devious and have a wicked fascination with gay men getting hot and horny. She’s released Grand Slam as a solo and has also written Love Life & Circumstance with the mischievous V.L. The angel and I were so impressed we asked the females to write our story, The Crimson Nights Saga. The first book Crimson Reign was released September 17th.

Laz :  *Pops an apply flavored Jolly Rancher into his mouth and shifts to rest his legs over Lachi’s thighs.* Oh yeah! V.L. Loves her naughty boy books and is currently adding to her already bulging Kindle collection and her book case. she’s very excited about the work she’s doing with J.T. I swear Talon…once those two hit the call button on Skype, NOTHING gets done. Currently, V.L> has four works in progress. Obviously, one of them is book two in The Crimson Nights Saga and it’s her main priority. She also has Throwing in the Towel, a solo set in England. *rolls eyes* It’s LONG!

>> Where were you on the night Colonel PeaCOCK, got laid with the candlestick (that’s California talk for boytoy) in the billiards room?

J.T .: I do believe we were watching Lachi and Laziel get busy on their private dance floor – here let us tell you:

“Hold that pose, Laziel,” Lachi growled. Eyes glowing, he prowled closer. His fingertips slid possessively and knowingly over the hills and valleys of the tightly ridged abs straining from exertion. “You are beautiful my male.” Leaning down, Lachi flicked his tongue against the angel’s belly button while eyeing the male’s perfectly aroused and beautiful cock.

Laziel’s body glistened with sweat, the tiny beads of sweetened dew lying atop his heated flesh as he arched back from the pole. His eyes burned, glowing with a fearsome hunger that reflected back at him from the fathomless depths of Lachi’s lustful gaze. His male had needs, and hei knew exactly what they were. He tormented Lachi, teased him torturously with a performance that saw every rolling curve of his heavily muscled body grind, dip, roll and make love to the pole in his hand. As the heavy beat of the music died, Laz arched his spine, jutting the protrusion of his long throbbing cock out from the line of his body until it resembled the hard length of steel in Laz’s hand. And, as Lachi closed the gap and flicked his tongue over the angel’s navel, every nerve ending reacted to the wet hungered draw of his vampire’s slick tongue. His cock jumped, throbbing incessantly with the need to be touched.

Malachi straddled the arm supporting the angel’s upper body planting his booted feet on either side of Laziel’s flattened palm; his other arm slide under the perfect arc of the angel’s spine. The salty taste of the angel’s sweat on his tongue heightened his hunger for more…more of his angel. Leaning forward even more, he flicked his tongue over jutting hip bones letting only the stubble of his chin graze the angel’s engorged cock. Before his eyes, Laz thickened even more. He groaned Lachi’s name his body sagging against his hold. “I said hold the pose angel,” he growled and Laz’s muscles flexed as he obeyed. Teasingly, Malachi blew a hot breath over Laz’s cock which danced to the frantic beat of his heart. Malachi inhaled. The feral spice of the angel’s lust filled his nose as it poured from Laziel’s very skin. Malachi lowered his face and felt Laz’s body coil even tighter. But, he didn’t take his angel’s cock into his mouth. Not yet. Instead, he turned his head so that the satin smooth skin of the bulbous head rubbed over his cheek, then his forehead, down the line of his nose then the other cheek and across his chin. He continued to breathe in the angel’s musk as he rubbed his face against his male’s cock. Finally, he allowed the thick head to brush his lips. Once, and then twice. On the third pass, he parted his lips. His tongue snaked out to wrap around the swollen flesh and draw it into his mouth.

Sweeping strokes of caressed the thick swell of Laziel’s cock. The effect had his knees trembling. Lachi’s skin against his own in any fashion was an honor, a present he forever savored. He was addicted, consumed by the unadulterated need to attend to and deliver unto his male his every whim and wish. Lazeil closed his eyes and let out a long soft moan of delicious glory. Hot and wet, the slow glide of Lachi’s slick hungry mouth engulfed the broad head of his cock. Expertly, the vampire rolled his tongue provocatively over the bead of dew that seeped from the tearing slit. His vampire growled. The vibration had Lazeil thrusting his hips forward for more; pleading for more. But, Lachi refrained. He teased his angel with velvet soft moans. He worked around the thick meaty head with the tip of his tongue and delicately flicking into the slit that fed his thirst. Lazeil buckled, and as Lachi caught him with ease and lowered his body onto the floor, the vampire took the swollen sac of potent need into his hands and rolled his balls hard against his palm.

Laz’s hips bucked seeking to drive his cock deeper into the moist heat of Malachi’s mouth, but he resisted. He wanted to savor his angel. Drive him to the edge of oblivion where pain and pleasure spiraled together in delicious rhapsody. With patience born of an immortal existence, he laved and suckled only the head of his angel’s cock. Though the dewy peals of pre-cum wetted his appetite for a full meal of his male, he contented himself with the tantalizing droplets of heaven. In his palm, he rolled the angel’s sac delighting in the fact the balls grew heavier and heavier in his grip. Laz writhed and whimpered beneath him. Lachi ignored the screaming demands of his own body. He growled at Laz’s touch forbidding the angel with only that sound from touching him. This was about his angel. Pleasuring him. worshiping him. Without removing his lips from his male’s flesh, he maneuvered himself until he knelt between the angel’s widely splayed thighs. One hand returned to the heavy sac while the other sought…lower. Malachi released him then to lave the entrance where his fingers poised. Only the command of Malachi’s presence kept the angel flat of his back as he rimmed him. A groan ripped from the angel’s throat and the hand still gripping the pole tightened until his knuckles nearly shredded the skin. Satisfied with his ministrations, he returned his mouth to Laziel’s thick cock and this time enveloped the entire length in his mouth. The broad head plowed to back of his mouth and then slid down into the tighter grip of his throat. At the same time, he plunged two fingers through the tight ring of Laz’s ass. His head stilled trapping the angel’s cock in his throat while his fingers got busy working the angel’s ass hard. Rhythmically, Lachi rolled the sac between the fingers of his other hand. His every sense absorbed the angel’s response.

Eyes rolling into his head, Lazeil’s mind cartwheeled from so many angles of pleasure, the heat of Lachi’s palm rolling the full heavy sac to the joyous grip his warm wet throat held over the tip of his cock added to the pleasure and pain of the spread of his ass as Lachi’s satin soft fingers glided in and out of his sweet moist entry. They pumped into Lazeil in a rythmic motion that matched the slow gag and glide of lachi’s wet mouth driving the angel to the edge of despair until his body thrummed , thrusting down to tempt lachi’s thrust ever deeper, then out, jutting himself futher into his vampire’s throat until his breath came in ragged hot pants of blissful need and the want to be driven to the edge of the extreme. “More…give…me…more.” Fisting his hands into Lachi’s hair, Laz ground out, “Fuck yeah!” He pistoned his hips in and out of Lachi’s hungry mouth. As grunts of exertion peppered the air, the lascivious scent of their sex swirled around them. “Morreeeeee…please,” he begged and for once, the vampire obeyed. His fingers delved deeper, spreading Laziel apart with the zealous penetration of his slickened fingers. And, as the boiling rise of his cock erupted spilling the sweet essence of his power into his male, Lazeil roared, filling the room with the echoing madness of his love for his male. Lazeil’s heart felt torn from his chest as sat up and ploughed into Lachi, pushing him back until his spine met with the steel pole. Laz surged fiercely between his male’s bent knees and lifted the vampire to place his taut ass onto his thighs. Fisting his own dripping wet cock, he shoved Lachi an inch up the pole and held him in place as he buried the thick wet length of his cock balls deep into the vampire’s ass.

Malachi barely had time to savor the richness of the angel’s release before his was shoved backward against the steel pole. Surprise flashed in his black eyes before they flipped close at the painful yet pleasurable penetration of Laz’s cock in his ass. He had no idea where his leathers went, the angel’s heat must have disintegrated them. He didn’t care. His male filled him, his cock pounded harder and deeper with every thrust. His hand moved to clasp his own cock but was slapped away with an angry growl. Malachi gripped the pole above his head and held on for the ride. Higher and higher, he rode up on the pole until Laz stood with Malachi’s muscled thighs wrapped around his waist. Laz’s fingers dug into his ass pulling his hips away from the pole to meet each savage thrust of his cock. Malachi lost himself…gave his body over to the skillful hands of his lover.

“I want your teeth in me while I fuck you,” the hissed words dragged Malachi back from the sea of sensation. His fangs elongated, and he struck viciously. Laz staggered backward only a step accepting the full weight of Malachi’s enormous frame as he lunged away from the pole. Malachi drank deeply; the sweet crimson flood a blissful contrast to the angel’s salty release. As the blood flowed down his throat, he groaned. He felt the cold steel at his back again. His body vibrated and when Laz’s fist closed around his cock, his release exploded coating their chests.

With his own blood slowly dripping from where Lachi drank so deep from his vein, Lazeil rolled his hips to the rhythm of each deep Earth shattering pull on his throat. The wet suckling mirrored the harsh slap of flesh. His hands glided up over Lachi’s hips and through the creamy richness of Lachi’s release on his chest. Back down again, they continued their journey to Lachi’s body. His male’s legs locked rabidly around him as he pummeled the yielding flesh of his dark entry with the thick ripe length of his pistoning rod. Higher still, Lazeil’s hands laid claim to the pole. As Lachi’s eyes bore into his, lazeil knew their minds thought as one. Lachi liked pain; Laz had to deliver unto his male what his vampire demanded. Using the sheer force of his celestial power, he opened his wings. The added balance of the glistening feathers gave him the strength to surge up hard into the depths of his male. Laz thrust, using the pole as a lever to piston his hips. He pushed hard and deep again and again until the line of Lachi’s spine bowed from the pole and the vampire’s cock once again covered his chest in a fountain of velvet cream. Laz growled, as the sweet release poured from his male. His own blood boiled in his veins and lengthened his shaft deeper into the well of Lachi’e beautiful ass. The eruption tore Lazeil from the roots of his world and lifted him higher into the arms of his male. His wings banked and he sagged. Lachi held him, as the quake of his release rendered him spent. Slowly, they lowered to the floor, his wings cushioning them both.

 

Lachi :  *fangs elongated and eyes locked on his male* ummmm how much longer…?

Laz :   *A deep throated laugh rises from his chest as he leans into Lachi, tilts his chin so their eyes meet and grins* When I say so big guy, or there will be no foreplay! And, we both know how much you like your warm-ups. *Leans back and purposefully torments the vampire by rubbing his bare foot over the strained material covering Lachi’s crotch.*

V.L .: Like JT stated above, we do like to keep our boys active. And letting them play out what goes on in our heads can be very exhilarating.

 

>> Everyone knows I’m a rule breaker. And for me Fantasy is a huge format to explore that. However, for some writers they can’t bring themselves to break some Taboos, out of fear, it will act as a reflection of their real life. What about you? What are some of the Taboos you just find irresistible in the fiction world. Are there some Taboos you won’t venture into, even in the fantasy world?

J.T .:  *laughing* Living in the deep South, gay male erotica is about as taboo as you can get. I’ve read a wide variety of genres and have read some pretty hairy stuff. Besides the obvious rape, degradation and pedophilia, I don’t think there is anything I wouldn’t approach. I cannot tolerate child abuse in any form so if an abuser were to show up in one of mine and V.L.’s stories, you can bet your sweet ass the bastard will meet an ugly and gruesome death.

V.L .:  *high fives J.T. and smiles* As a rule, I think, with the exception of the obvious stated above, there should be no boundaries within written fiction. To make up a whole new world and create it in your own vision is a beautiful journey. Why stump its growth with rules and fear?

 

>> If you could truly escape the everyday life and live inside one of your books, which one would it be and what character would you play?

J.T .:  definitely Lachi in the Crimson Nights Saga. He is so much a part of me. My children actually talk to “Lachi” *laughs hard* Since he’s come into my head, he tends to speak through me. He removed the filter and now when I think something, he shoves it right out of my mouth. Usually, it’s naughty naughty, mind in the gutter type thing. I was driving with my fifteen year old daughter. She had a sundae from McDonald’s, which we all know comes with a packet of chopped peanuts. She said, randomly of course, “You know, this is the only thing I like nuts on.” Before I could stop him, the crazy vampire is spouting….I love nuts on my ass, on my chin, and if I’m lucky, on my nose….needless to say I got a punch in the arm and an exaggerated, “MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”

V.L .:    *kisses J.T. on the nose and sighs* Well  to me, V.L. and Laziel are one in the same person. Laziel is my world. The connection between myself and the Big Guy portrays the very real love between J.T. and V.L. With that said, given the choice, I think I want to be Tyrian with J.T. as my Jaral and go live in the Valley of the Mists.

 

>> If life is like a box of chocolates, what flavor is your favorite book?

J.T .:  A cherry covered in creamy dark chocolate truffle.

V.L .:  *Pouts*  I’d rather it be hard candy. Something that I can suck for a long, long time that makes your mouth water and gives you a sweet sticky aftertaste. *grins wickedly*

 

>> You just finished a hard writing crunch and well… you’d probably be feeling good if it weren’t for the fact your eyes are cross-eyed, your fingers ache, your wrist feels like it’s on backwards and your butt feels like a flat tire. What’s your secret weapon for unwinding from all that?

J.T .:  A trip to the closest Chinese buffet and hours on Skype with my angel.

V.L .: Apart from the hours of often heated conversation with my sweetheart, I love to go to the gym and spend two to three hours a night lifting weights, hitting punch bags and giving the old ticker a good bash on the cardio equipment, before I get back home to thrash out the next batch of ideas with JT.

 

>> Okay, hypothetically speaking (for book research of course) what is your favorite sexual position or sex-play? (Remember, this is purely hypothetical)

J.T .:  *laughing* Noodles in the bathtub…and that’s all I’m sayin’. V.L. is quite shy about that sorta thing.

V.L .:  You know what they say…the quite ones are always the worst. And I’m both quiet and a Catholic…So yeah…The ultimate sinner me! LOL

 

>> Fact or Fiction: Tell us the craziest place, timing or position you… errr… your characters have ever done it. And then tell us the real truth…

J.T .:  Characters; I think that would have to be Seth and Elijah…at the cemetery, but with the Crimson Nights Saga just starting, I’m sure that will change, especially with a sex demon in the mix.

V.L .: We haven’t even scratched the surface of crazy yet. But with Laz & Lachi who knows. Even making a fruit smoothie can turn into a full on sex fest!

 

>> Is there a support group for people addicted to your books?

J.T. :   I’m not sure. Does Facebook count? You’ll have to ask Rhonda, Teri, Kimberly, Susan, Bran, Bradley, the Melanies, Kim, King Sholto, Trenton, Paul, Susie, Stina, Terric, Her, Valerie…hell….SHOUT OUT to our Facebook family. We love you all!

V.L .:  I think it’s all of them that are actually our support group. We are so lucky to have them and we truly mean that. Not a day goes by without our Facebook family being a part of our lives. They mean everything to us and make even the darkest days, when we are writing some really deep shit, easier to bear. I have to give a shout out to Terric and Qhuinn those two guys have me holding my sides and more often than not spitting all over my screen. Their a full on riot at the best of times.

 

>> As an author of erotica, do you find you are more of a sex expert then say, some talk show sex experts? And could you give us a sample of advice?

J.T .:  I really can’t say. I don’t watch much TV. Advice: be true to your partner and never be afraid to explore your sexuality with your mate.

V.L .:  Be open, try everything once. Be honest, loyal and supportive. If one of you doesn’t like something…say so.  Sex should be fun, not a chore. Laugh, enjoy and experiment…often!

 

>> I spend so much time at home writing, I hardly ever get out of the house. So my characters are my closest friends. Has your family caught on to the fact that when you talk about so and so at the dinner table that it’s really just one of your characters and not the guy next door?

J.T .:  *laughing really hard* Lachi IS a member of the family. He goes everywhere with us. He’s so outspoken, my kids actually tell Lachi to be quiet!

V.L.:   To be honest, Laz makes me feel brave. I’m not one for confrontation. *whispers* I leave that to J.T. But, there have been occasions while out shopping that Laz rushes to the forefront and turns a few heads. Once, short little me yells at some dude over six foot tall and tacks on the phrase “whatever motherfucker!” Right about then, running is usually a really good option for me while Laz laughs!

 

>> Boxers, Briefs or going Commando? (feel free to share pictures-for the fans of course)

J.T .: briefs please and no thongs…those things are horrendous!

V.L .:  *looks shifty as hell* Well..I have a thing for underwear…The prettier the better. And whats more, I love it on guys!! All that black lace on a sweet round tush…Heaven.

 

>> Let’s face it, life can be hysterical. And as story tellers, we get ideas from the craziest things. Whether it be a song, a book, a movie, something someone said or you just happened to be lucky as hell to have witnessed something.  What’s the craziest thing you ever came cross that spurred you head long into a new story? And where is it hiding now?

J.T .:   Okay I’m going to wimp out on this one…no crazy weirds…though I am thinking about writing a story with a spider shifter.  *shivers and takes V.L.’s hand* that will be the hardest one I ever write. Hate the little bastards.

V.L .:   *laughing* God! I need to toughen you up!  I’m boring. Dreams mostly.  When I do sleep, I have the most detailed dreams of scenarios, faces that I’ve never met and places I’ve never been. Drives me crazy at times, but it makes for great stories.

 

>> The kids, family and the neighbor’s dog are gone. It’d be a holiday man and you’ve planned a naughty orgy. Which of your naughty writer friends have you invited? And who’s on top? And when will we see that book?

Lachi :  *roars laughing* I only want my V.L. and I’m not one to share, so I’m not sure I can answer this question. I’d love to play voyeur with you, Susan Mac Nicol, Leo DeLayne, Aleksandr Voinov, Adrian Phoenix and J.R. Ward. We could talk shop and watch some hot male lovin’. *glances at the screen again quickly*

V.L .:  I’m a one girl woman; totally monogamous….*wink wink* But yeah…Love my bad boys…Voinov’s a must have along with some of the characters he writes and then there’s you and of course your twin Princess. But no one means more to me than J.T. The only issue we have, is who gets the upper hand!

 

>> And before I release you from your bonds is there anyone you would like to throw under the bus **clears throat** I mean, you would like to see here as our next guest?

JT :  Susan Mac Nicol or Adrian Phoenix.

VL :   Well seems JT took my first responses I’d have to say…S.J.D. Peterson, Avril Ashton and Aleksandr Voinov.

Talon> **wegs**  I’ve already had Joe in my bondage bean bag, **rummages through the toy box** I know I got video here… ah, here it is **waves the film roll marked for SJD Peterson**

>> Famous last words or your favorite naughty word.

J.T .:  I’ll go with Lachi’s favorite:  Wicked dreams and bondage blessings darlin’.

V.L .: That’s a wrap motherfucker.
