Guest Post: Today I have the dynamic author Lloyd Lofthouse on my blog. The Redemption of Don Juan Casanova. #Crime #Fiction #Mystery #Thriller #Suspense
Guest Post Why did you choose this topic for this book? The answer to that question is complicated and starts with me as an infant. The themes running through The Redemption of Don Juan Casanovadeals with the collision between a sexual education and religion—often seen as a sin by many religious sects, because those same themes ran through my childhood like an invisible super highway.
My mother was extremely religious. As an infant, I was baptized a Catholic and attended kindergarten through first grade in a Catholic school with tough, no nonsense nuns as my teachers. All I remember to this day was the ruler one nun used to whack us across the knuckles if our printing and/or cursive writing wasn’t perfect, and then we had to go to the corner, kneel and pray to Mary for forgiveness.My father, on the other hand, was an alcoholic and a gambler, but he did work in construction and earned enough to pay off a house and feed his family. He also went to church each Sunday with my mother but refused to be baptized by any religion. Later in my life I’d learn that my father had a number of sexual affairs with other women that my mother refused to believe even though the evidence was strongly in favor of his guilt. In fact, he had an affair with my Catholic godmother whose husband often picked up women in bars and had affairs, but in Catholicism such sins are easily forgiven through weekly confessions that go along with your weekly contribution to the Church during Sunday mass.Then when I was twelve, my mother converted from Catholicism to the Jehovah Witnesses and that was when we stopped celebrating Easter, Christmas and everyone’s birthdays. As far as the topic of sex was concerned, joining the Jehovah Witnesses was my mother jumping out of a frying pan into a blazing fire, because the Catholic Church forgave our mortal sins through confession but the Witnesses didn’t.My parents dropped out of high school at age 14 during the Great Depression, but they were both avid readers. My father loved mysteries and westerns, and my mother focused on sanitized romances where holding hands and maybe a brief kiss at the end was standard practice as the girl always got the right guy. If my mother was reading a book and ran into a sex scene—no matter how it was written—she stopped reading and tossed the book in the fire without an explanation because any topic about sex and sexually was never mentioned in our home to the point where it wasn’t even forbidden. In fact, talking about the birds and the bees didn’t exist, but that didn’t protect me from the hormones that hit when I was age twelve or thirteen. I was totally unprepared for that collision and spent my adolescence living in guilt for what I was feeling and thinking about girls.My fumbling misdirected sexual education started after I left home and joined the U.S. Marines right out of high school and ended up in Southeast Asia fighting in one of America’s endless wars. That education would stretch for seventeen years culminating in an MFA during the early 1980s when I was teaching days in the public schools and working nights and weekends as a maître d’ in a palace of a nightclub-restaurant combination in Southern California called the Red Onion—that chain lost its liquor license and went bankrupt in the 1990s. The description of the Aphrodisiacs Academy, the nightclub in The Redemption of Don Juan Casanova, was modeled after the Red Onion where I worked. While earning the MFA, one of my research papers focused on the art of seduction, and I used the night club as my own personal laboratory to see if what I was learning from scientific studies worked. In short, yes, what the scientists discovered was correct.This novel came out of a question I asked myself after I left that maître d’ job in the bar and nightclub industry that rakes in about $24 billion annually—an industry with more than 70,000 businesses that employs almost 400,000 people, a sector that is mostly about sex and seduction.– http://www.ibisworld.com/industry/def... Instead of sex being a forbidden and a never talked about topic as it was in my childhood, what happens when sex and seduction is the focus of a child’s life, because it’s the family’s business and tradition?
Instead of writing about my life as a child, I wanted to write about a child who grew up in a family that was totally different from mine. In other words, he grew up learning from his parents and grandparents everything it took me seventeen years on my own to learn after I left home. Even the string of murders in the novel is linked to that war between religion and our libidos.

From the award winning author of 'My Splendid Concubine' and 'Running With the Enemy' comes 'The Redemption of Don Juan Casanova'!
Don Juan Casanova wants to discover what it’s like to be loved by only one woman. His problem is that he was raised by his grandparents to become a Lothario, who loves and then leaves women for the next conquest, and as he approaches 40, he is facing a crisis. His grandfather and then younger brother have been viciously murdered, and Don is the prime suspect. As he struggles to stay out of jail and end his life of serial seductions and find one woman to love, he’s discovering it isn’t easy to kick an old habit, and his mother isn’t helping by quoting scripture every chance she gets in an attempt to change her son’s lifestyle of sin for one of piety.
Praise for 'Running With the Enemy' by Lloyd Lofthouse:Runner Up in General Fiction: 2013 Beach Book Festival Honorable Mentions in General Fiction: 2014 Los Angeles Book Festival 2013 San Francisco Book Festival 2013 Hollywood Book Festival 2013 New York Book Festival "Obviously drawn from the author's first-hand experiences as a Marine serving in Vietnam, Running with the Enemy is a rough but occasionally heartfelt war story. ... The book is sometimes too obviously drawn from his experience. But ultimately that's a small complaint about a book that, on the whole, is quite good and has a lot to say about the nature of the conflict ." - 21st Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards commentary from an anonymous judge "This book grabbed hold of me. It has left me knowing just how horrific conditions were for those who fought in Vietnam, and I applaud those who survived."-Lisa Binion, The News In Books “I found Running with the Enemy captivating and well worth reading and enjoyed such a different type of historical novel from Mr. Lofthouse than his previous. Since Mr. Lofthouse is a former Marine and Vietnam veteran, I am sure he drew from some of his personal experiences and I shudder to think of some of these experiences.”- M. Denise C. “Running With the Enemy is a gut-wrenching page-turner at once a historical rendering of the Vietnam-American war, a suspense-thriller involving the framing of an innocent man forced to go on the run, and a passionate love story. As an historical novel, it renders an intricate tapestry of the era, the geography, and the several cultures in confrontation at that time. As a suspense-thriller it grips on page one and keeps your heart racing page after page with hardly a paragraph of relief. As a war story, it depicts war as the bloody, hell that it is–a place in which the mettle of the honorable is tested and honed in the same landscape where sociopaths thrive and reach the heights of power and influence. As a love story, it portrays the way a bond between two hearts can transcend race, religion, politics, national identity and family loyalty, defying all convention, tradition, prejudice and law to claim their right to have each other. The characters are all deftly drawn and believable and if they exist beyond a page or two they will leave their mark on the reader who has come to care about them whether it is to love them, admire them, hate them or simply be amused by them. I can wholeheartedly recommend Running With the Enemy as a story that rewards the time and effort invested. Its impact will linger long after the last page is turned.”-Joystory

I don’t think he would approve of My Splendid Concubine … but we live in a different age than Victorian England. I feel that this love story deserves to be told.’ ”- Anneli Rufus , East Bay Express “Historical fiction potboiler, yes. But where the `Concubine’ saga truly shines is its thought-provoking passages on relationships, attitudes and cultural differences.”-Tom Carter, author of China: Portrait of a People “Told in descriptive detail and such beauty of the Chinese culture that I did not want it the story to end. A very well written and impeccably researched story that I highly recommend to the historical fiction fan. A lot of history but not written like a history book. This book does have a lot of sexual content in it but told in a very tasteful way. I really enjoyed this book.”- Kathleen Kelly, Celtic Lady

This excerpt is from Sadie's POV. Enjoy:
I stroked his leg under the table with my foot. “Oh,” I moaned, making my voice airy and breathless. “Is the food orgasmic?”
He smiled, a curve of his sculpted mouth. “You enjoy torturing me, don’t you?”Yes, I did. I took great pleasure in watching him squirm when I gave him blue veined throbbers out in public. And I found it especially amusing when he told me he pictured playing mini golf with his grandmother whenever he had to tame the rumbling in his loins.
“Why?” I lowered my voice and feigned innocence. “Do you have a hard-on right now?”Grinning with just enough arrogance to make him look sexy, he reclined in his seat and said coolly, “Nah. That’s my dick normally. Huge, right?”
“You poor thing.” My shoulders lifted with laughter. “Is your stiffy giving you a hernia?
Don’t worry, all you need to do is tuck and duck and I’ll try not to laugh.”
“Miss Frost,” he chided “behave yourself.”

Title: Pieces of Three Author: Kim Carmichael Release Date: May 15, 2015 Release Day Blitz: May 18, 2015 Hosted by: SBB Promotions
Some go through their whole lives looking for their other half…some are pieces of three.Of all the different shifter species in the Okeanos Archipelago, none is more feared than the Lykans, the wolf shifters, diseased, destructive thieves who had been ostracized decades ago. In fact, history shows that no human has ever survived mating with a Lykan.As liaison between the humans and the shifters for Anthros Island, all Alyssa Wilkinson wants is to become an Ambassador and explore the archipelago to study the species she'd been fascinated with her whole life. She only needs to gain her confidence and overcome her fear of water.With disease ravaging their females, Lykan shifters, Julian Chalis and Porter Galen have come to Anthros searching for a cure. Captured, their only hope is found in a tiny human with large principles.When the three of them are shipwrecked on an isolated island after a storm, Julian and Porter find themselves in the middle of the Lykan lunar mating cycle. Both wanting Alyssa, they give into their desires and choose to share her, never realizing they could be risking her life.However, when Alyssa falls ill, Julian and Porter must return to Anthros, the island of the enemy, to save the one they love.Pieces of Three is a completed 50,000-word paranormal ménage romance (MFM).
She bit her lip. The boat tilted at an extreme angle, knocking her off the cot. She landed hard on her shoulder, sharp pain shooting through her back. "Ah!" Before she had the chance to make another move, something grabbed her and dragged her across the floor. "Come here." Julian lifted her by her shirt, pulling her up and putting her in between the two of them. "Leave me alone." She rubbed her shoulder. Julian moved her hand and did the job for her. "You said you wanted to help, what do you mean?" She turned to him. Though he still appeared a wan and weak, everything about Julian spoke of being naughty. From the way his shoulder length black hair was a bit messy, to how only one side of his mouth was turned up, but his whole face lit up with a smile, to how his green eyes seemed to take everything in, including her, it was as if he recently was caught doing something bad, but no one would ever have the heart or the guts to punish him. "Are you really pirates?" she asked. "Well, Porter did steal your hair things." The other side of Julian's mouth lifted. "I have bandages for your wrist." She tensed, preparing for him lash out. "You brought bandages?" He continued to massage her shoulder. She nodded. "By any chance you didn't bring any water did you?" Porter tapped her. Against her better judgment and spun around to him causing her hair to hit her in her face. While Julian might be mischief and mayhem, Porter was precise and polished, with shorter brown hair combed back, razor sculpted facial features and golden eyes that either made one either want to cower, or embrace him tell him everything was going to be all right. "Are you going to tell me what's really wrong with your island?" "Are you going to tell us what else is in your bag?" He tilted his head. "Are you going to kill me?" No sooner were the words out of her mouth than the boat slammed down again, and she covered her eyes. Two sets of hands took hold of her, one on either side. "No matter what, she is trying to help," Julian said. "We are not going to kill her. In fact, since she called to us for help, we are going to do just that." She peeked through her fingers at Porter. "We can't kill her if we're going to protect her from the big, bad storm." He exhaled as if he had come to terms with having an unwanted pet. "I brought a few other things as well." She upped the ante. Did she make allies with the enemy? No doubt her actions qualified as relations with Lykans, even if it wasn't mating. "I hope not another shot." Porter's eyes darkened to a deep brown. "I don't believe in chemical inhibition." She chewed her lower lip. "Did you hear that Porter? I told you humans weren't all monsters." Julian chuckled. Funny, that's what humans thought about Lykans. "Actually, I brought the antidote." She glanced between them. "Maybe I'm the pirate, since I actually stole the antidote." At her confession she stood. The ship heaved to one side, sending her back onto the cot and right onto Porter. He caught her. "Well, that was a bit unexpected." "That was bad." Her whole body shook. "Something is wrong." She waited for one of them to tell her everything would be fine. Julian slid closer to her and held out his hand. "It's part of the deal." "What deal?" Without thinking she placed her hand in his. "The one you made with the two devils." Julian gave her hand a squeeze. "You brought us the antidote." Porter tightened his hold on her. "In turn, you may hold our hands, lay on us, and we will keep you safe. If this cheap excuse for a ship falls apart, we'll just dog paddle to shore, there are more than sixty islands in the archipelago." She stared straight ahead. "You may paddle, but I can't swim." The boat tilted back and crashed down. Her suitcase fell over and tumbled in front of them. She took them up on their offer and hid her face in Porter's chest. "What happened to smooth sailing?" "Port." Julian rubbed her back. "She can't swim." Porter's words vibrated through her. "Do we have a deal?" Smooth sailing was nowhere in sight. The boat continued its turbulent trek. She nodded. "Yes."

SALE BLITZ!!! Repossessed by Sandy Parks. A reclusive boss. An unemployed pilot. One devil in default. #Suspense #Action #Adventure #Giveaway
Repossessed by Sandy Parks Series: Hawker Incorporated, #1Genre: Action/Adventure, Suspense, Romantic ElementsRelease Date: December 18, 2014
Repossessed is the Winner of the 2013 Daphne du Maurier Mainstream Mystery/Suspense Award and the 2013 Maggie Award for Novel with Strong Romantic Elements written by Sandy Parks.
A reclusive boss.
An unemployed pilot.
One devil in default.
When Brazilian gem dealer Maximilian Furst stops making payments on his fifty million dollar business jet, “Hawker” Dunlop, reclusive owner of a high-end recovery company, sends a resourceful team to Rio to repossess the aircraft.
Dunlop’s newest hire, ex-military pilot Amelia “Jet” Walczynski, has the perfect skills for infiltrating Furst’s inner circle and flying away the targeted plane. The assignment appears straightforward until Jet discovers Furst is a sociopath and knows she is after his aircraft. Her promised support team, a Greek lawyer avenging his brother’s death, a con man who sidelines as their scout, and a mechanic who paints her nails to match the country of operation, appear a hindrance rather than help. Jet finds it hard to play nice with her teammates when their private agendas put her life at risk. Yet, the closer she gets to Furst and the plane, the more she and her team will have to rely on each other to complete the repossession.
Santos Dumont Airport
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Gnawing apprehension spread through Jet as Maximilian Furst climbed up from the dark night onto his business plane and cast her a triumphant look. Behind him the door closed and the steward flipped the locking handle, securing the aircraft and effectively cutting off rescue if her true purpose were to be discovered.
The cushy leather seat beneath her offered little comfort. Minutes before coming onboard, she’d learned Furst had left a disloyal employee floating face down in a local lake. She drew a calming breath through a fake smile. Had she overestimated her ability to manipulate a powerful man—one who was proving far more dangerous and unpredictable than her boss portrayed?
Looking back, getting onto the Gulfstream 550 had been easy—maybe a bit too easy. Whatever the case, she had to keep a step ahead of Furst if she hoped to find the aircraft’s landing site.
He leaned over her leather chair, using his rock-solid body as unspoken intimidation. Without a word, he picked up the ends to her seat belt and buckled her in. Her heartbeat didn't slow until the plane had taken off from the domestic airport and risen out of the haze into a clear night.
Jet controlled her fear by focusing on the sleek cabin. She related more to machines, particularly those with wings, than men.
“You have an impressive aircraft,” she said, with the proper amount of awe to feed Furst’s overblown ego. She could recite checklists and emergency boldface items for the fifty-million-dollar beauty that surrounded her, but she had to be careful not to reveal her flying expertise. “Will I be as impressed with your home?” Or wherever the plane might land and “magically” disappear.
Maximilian shifted in his seat to face her and tented his long, dark fingers. “After the excess of my party, you will like the peaceful place we are going.”
“Peaceful? I see you more as the type who never rests.” She pointed at a well-developed bicep on his arm, making sure not to touch or even hint at coming close enough to doing so. “Those don’t come from lounging around.”
“Senhorita, you flatter me. What is a strong body without a fit mind? My sanctuary awaits. It cleanses the body and soul of troubles.”
“I find it hard to believe you have many troubles.”
“A man without them has never been tested. Take this plane, for instance. The company and I have a financial disagreement to resolve. My legal sources have informed me impatient Americans have arrived to take it back. They are supposedly in Rio at this very moment.”
Perceptive sources. She held back the gulp striving to launch down her throat.
Maximilian, his spicy cologne still potent after the long night, leaned forward and encouraged her to do the same. She worked out of her seat belt and rather reluctantly moved closer.
With her head near, he softly added, “You, Senhorita de verão, are an American. I believe you have come to steal my plane.”

This excerpt is from Sadie's POV. Enjoy:
I stroked his leg under the table with my foot. “Oh,” I moaned, making my voice airy and breathless. “Is the food orgasmic?”
He smiled, a curve of his sculpted mouth. “You enjoy torturing me, don’t you?”Yes, I did. I took great pleasure in watching him squirm when I gave him blue veined throbbers out in public. And I found it especially amusing when he told me he pictured playing mini golf with his grandmother whenever he had to tame the rumbling in his loins.
“Why?” I lowered my voice and feigned innocence. “Do you have a hard-on right now?”Grinning with just enough arrogance to make him look sexy, he reclined in his seat and said coolly, “Nah. That’s my dick normally. Huge, right?”
“You poor thing.” My shoulders lifted with laughter. “Is your stiffy giving you a hernia?
Don’t worry, all you need to do is tuck and duck and I’ll try not to laugh.”
“Miss Frost,” he chided “behave yourself.”

Well, that for sure gave all those girls watching a big eyeful of what was important to me. It showed them, in no uncertain terms, that I was off limits. And, to my favor, it showed all my teammates, just what a gorgeous girlfriend I had. I was proud of Jaylee and I wanted her to know just how proud of her I really was. From the beaming smile on her face, I could tell she understood and appreciated the gesture.
“Thank you, beautiful,” I breathed in relief. “I promise I will help you understand. I’m not trying to hurt you. I promise you that. Anything I do is only because I love you.”
“I know,” she said in a small voice. “I know you do.”
She stopped me and stepped closer, resting her hand on my broad chest for a moment before sliding it up to my shoulder. She turned and just smiled at all the whispering girls who walked by us on their way out of practice, confident in her place at my side. That alone set my heart racing. Finally she turned to me, her dark eyes meeting mine, her red lips pursed together in thought. I waited, longing to see what was taking her so much thought and time to put out there. Finally she bit her lip and stepped a little closer.
“Thank you,” she said softly, her hand sliding up to cup my cheek, softly brushing over the scruff of my beard.
“For what, beautiful?” I asked, cocking my head to the side in confusion.

“My sex life is none of your business.” It was a neutral answer, wasn’t it?
He pulled her toward him with a light tug. “That long, huh?” Nick said with a smug smile.
At that moment, all she wanted to do was to wipe that self-satisfied smirk off his face. Instead, she broke free of his hold and resumed her walk, desperate to reach the pond’s edge.
“I’ll have you know,” she explained, “That Lance and I…we have an intellectual bond.”“Right,” Nick interjected. “Translation, he’s a lousy lay.”
“I never said that!” she wailed and turned to face him.
He waited a second. “You’re not denying it either.”
Finally, the boiling point. “You know,” she said keeping her voice from shaking, “I happen to think on a higher plane than just the physical attraction.”
“Bullshit!” He laughed. “You sound to me like a woman whose well is dry.”
Shana was aghast. Dry well? Her well was fine and dandy thank you very much!
When Nick said nothing else, she stared at him, her eyes sending death rays his way. Inside she was crumbling, falling apart. She was tired, angry and spent, physically and emotionally, and at that moment, she teetered with what to do next, slap Nick across the face or throw herself in his arms.
“Pompous jerk!” Shana declared and stepped back intent on rushing to the edge even if it meant running. In her haste, she slipped on a mossy rock and her legs gave out. “What the…” In a split second, Nick was by her side holding her securely in his arms.
