Excerpts
Tame:
His Touch (Brie Learns to Obey)
Instead of coming to her, Sir leaned against the wall and stared at Brie—at her naked body, strapped down and eager for him. She basked in his gaze. It was just like the photo she’d admired; her fantasies were now her reality.
“Some men think they need toys to excite a woman, but I don’t believe that. No, I believe firmly in the power of touch.” He continued to gaze at Brie, without making a move towards her. The fact he was taking his time made her want him all the more.
When Sir finally pushed away from the wall and walked towards her, she was literally trembling in anticipation. When his hand lightly touched her stomach, she gasped. All her awareness was focused on that one area. He gave her a leisurely smile as his fingers made their way up to her breasts.
Marquis Gray’s Flogger (Brie Learns Her Power as a Submissive)
 
“Turn and close your eyes,” Marquis Gray commanded as he produced a ribbon of black lace. “I find lace far more attractive than traditional blindfolds.”
He moved away from her, but soon returned, placing more ribbon in her hand. “It’s black, like your blindfold. Feel it. I want you to envision what it looks like.” She fingered the long, narrow length of ribbon. It was silky smooth, incredibly soft. “This will act as your bonds.”
He replaced the silk with a handful of lace. “It’s a deep burgundy. Touch it, pet.” Brie played with the lace in her hands, noting the roughness of it. “This will be caressing your body in a few minutes.”
Marquis Gray took it from her and left her side again. When he returned, she heard him chuckling under his breath. Brie held out her hand, but he lifted her other hand and placed the item in both. She was worried when she felt something heavy that also smelled of leather. She caressed it with her fingers and a cold chill gripped her heart. One end was a hard handle, and the other had numerous leather tendrils. A flogger.
He leaned in close to her ear, his warm breath on her neck. “I am an expert at what I do. By the time I finish, you will be begging me for more.

Thoughts on Inspiration!

Inspiration
— n 1. stimulation or arousal of the mind, feelings, etc, to special or unusual activity or creativity   Many things define inspiration to each individual but I believe the above definition to be the most accurate. There are of course other definitions for inspiration but when I read this particular one the thought that strikes me about it is a sense of suddenness surrounding it. Isn’t this how any work is created? I would also like to include the word MUSE as part of this whole inspiration event. We writers often speak fondly or heatedly about finding our muse or the muse having left us when in fact what we are truly lacking is the inspiration to carry an idea forward or to have one to start on at all. This may not hold true for all, but I would bet for a great many of us this is more often than not the case.  Inspiration is at all times our greatest companion as well as being our greatest foe. When you have it in bountiful amounts and the words are flowing like wine from a full carafe, than life is exactly as it should be and the fever of creativity is alive and coursing at full speed through our harried, yet satisfied minds. The wrongs of the world are righted and when the fever abates we are left with something to share with the world. A shiny badge pinned on our shirts or blouses that screams, “Look what I have made!”  But what about when inspiration is nowhere in sight and the cold carcass of creativity lies crumbled to dust, blowing away with the slightest breeze and leaving your mind parched and desperate for its electric spark? To me the greatest source of inspiration is and always will be the people I know. Just yesterday when looking for the start of a new story a simple conversation with a friend sparked within me a great idea. Afterward, I could hardly wait to put my fingers to the keyboard and start the steady tapping of newfound inspiration. The dam had broken and the synaptic sparks flew as an overflowing cascade of thoughts and characters and places filled me to brimming with the outline and details of my new piece. And this is where inspiration is fickle. Did a conversation you avoided cheat you out of the next great idea? Did the one you just have suddenly strike a match that you will nurture into the inferno that defines you as a writer? Well, one can and will never know. What I do know is I wouldn’t be as excited as I am now with the freshness of a new creation budding to life on my screen without that talk with my friend. And the stories I’ve written in the past such as Keeping Kara or the as yet unreleased The Need would never exist at all without past interactions with other friends.  The value of people is often dismissed in today’s society. As people are our life’s blood in this business, be it through their purchases or as in the many supporting roles played to help make a writer actually become an author, we can never overlook the casual daily interactions that might lift us to greater creative heights by merely listening and actual hearing with all our awareness.  Inspiration is all around us. Are you paying attention?

Spotlight Feature on Chloe Thurlow and her Best-selling How-to Book: The Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomena

Dear Readers, today you are in for a rare treat. We have Best-selling Erotic Romance Author Chloe Thurlow in to teach us a few tricks of the trade. And by tricks we mean hard work and a focus on the dynamics of writing in this ever growing field. Are you an author? Are you a reader? Both then, I take it? Well, sit back, snuggle in and sip from a fresh steeped cup of Earl Grey as you get an intimate sneak peek into Chloe Thurlow’s dazzling How-to Guide for Writing Best-selling Erotic Romance: The Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomena.
Cheers, Chase  

A well-constructed novel is a puzzle the reader is obliged to work out for themselves. Don't tell them anything – 'The woman seemed to be walking on a cushion of air and every head turned as she entered the room.'
Is she beautiful? Does she have a sexy walk? I haven't said so, but the reader is doing the puzzle. There are books and websites galore with info on show don't tell. Here's my own simple rule:
·         She was sad = TELL
·         She wept = SHOW
A novel is a promise with no urgency to be fulfilled, an expectation not realized, preferably until the last sentence when there is often a temptation to explain, like repeating the last line of a joke, and the temptation is to be avoided. If they haven't got it yet, they never will.
Good writing is demanding, obsessive; a sickness. It gives you insomnia, headaches, dependencies – coffee, alcohol, promiscuity. There is something in the artist gene that craves the extremes; the view from outside the herd. All artists, all great artists, are monsters and are never fully sated or satisfied.
When you have finished writing something, the creative right side of your brain may feel content, but the hysterical voice on the analytical left screams out as you are about to press send: 'Come on, Chloe, have another read through, one more edit. You can make it better.' When you finally do let go of the book, short story, the essay, the relief is tainted by a feeling of failure – the spur to start again.
Even if you write a best-seller like Fifty Shades of Grey,with all the cash and acclaim comes the acid attacks of ridicule and criticism. A lot of feminists and intellectuals slated the quality of EL James's writing, though their numbers never amounted to more than a few murmurs in the wind compared to the 50 million people who devoured the trilogy and hungered for more, the seeds of the current explosion in erotic writing – and my own decision to write The Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomena.    Having published five novels and penned numerous essays on erotica, I set out in the Phenomena neither to praise nor damn Ms James, but divulge her clever twist on the genre. What she did was write a romance and add the hot sauce of erotica, rather than writing an erotic book with a sprinkling of romance. It sounds simple and the best ideas usually are.
Is the Fifty Shades trilogy a brilliant piece of literature? Best-sellers rarely are. But the books are competent, the dynamic between the two protagonists is compelling, and the sex scenes have the girlie naiveté readers would expect when seen through the eyes of Anastasia Steele. These are essential qualities in writing modern erotica – qualities that can be learned, nurtured and honed until your writing sparkles like the stars.
They say writing has no rules. That's not true. There are rules of grammar, construction, technique. If you want to break the rules, the secret is to know them first. Like playing tennis or learning to juggle, writing grows easier with practice. The more you practice, the better you get. After finishing a piece of work, put it away in a drawer for a week and come back to it with fresh eyes, revise with honesty until you can say: yes, that's good; or no, that's dreadful, back to the keyboard.
I have a test. If I think to myself, Mmm, that will do, those three little words are a warning. It won't do. And I start again.
How do you name your characters? How do you create realistic conflict? When the man takes the woman upstairs to his hotel room, should you describe the room and, if so, how long should that description be? There are no easy answers; often it is a question of what 'feels' right, and acquiring that feeling, that sensitivity is what I set out to distil in my book, making it as much a source of inspiration as well as a guide.
The Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomena contains samples of my own work, excerpts from the Marquis de Sade – from whom EL James owes a debt far greater than most of her readers realize, and pointers on driving your story forward through ordeals, climaxes, turning points and conflict – the engine of all fiction. In May, the book passed 10,000 sales and has received many reviews, the few contained here describing how writers have improved their writing after reading the book.
Liz Adams: "Because I write bestselling erotica, I didn't expect to learn anything from this book. Boy, was I mistaken! Chloe Thurlow's Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomena is a must read for every writer wishing to incorporate sex in their fiction."
KL Prince: "I enjoyed the book and can see an improvement already in my style and refreshing my attitude. I had begun to feel lost but now my rudder is strong and my compass again is true. I shall never stray from my course again."
Elizabeth Woodham: "Thurlow opines that a good writer rarely needs the word 'very' but Chloe Thurlow is very, very talented indeed. I'm so jealous I think I will implode."
Shiralyn Lee: "Chloe Thurlow has certainly given me an insight into writing in the erotic genre. She explains how and what works in the right places. She has used a mainstream best-seller and explained clearly on how it became a BEST SELLER! This book is informative and well worth the read."
To all writers, learn the tricks and remember the secret: never give up.

b.l. ronan's Cover Reveal for her New Book of Poetic Mastery: Saudade

ladies and gentlemen:
i can hardly believe the day has finally arrived for me to share this milestone - my baby - with you. this beautiful cover was conceived by the exceptionally talented @justarandomscot and i have been so excited to share his creation with you.




so without further ado.........my cover!!!!!

   
isn’t she beautiful! it is the epitome of my writing process. curled up in my bed (we need ambiance for such steamy scenes -- hehe) with my notebook and pen, laptop at the ready, and coffee cup not far out of reach. this very space is where saudade was conceived.

it is hard to believe i wasn’t even composing eight months ago and after weeks of inspiration, tears, bloodshed, and elation i am about to present to you shards of my very soul. well...it is pretty inconceivable.

i had with great hesitation decided in february to push myself to this challenge of creating a compilation with nearly 50 new piece of work. i didn’t want it to be a mishmash of randomness nor did i want it to be a book of only one aspect of prose.

i remembered finding a picture of a tattoo on pinterest with the word saudade printed across the forearm. when i looked down at the explanation i felt an immediate connection and it stuck with me.

saudade does not have an english equivalent and there are many interpretations for its meaning. however, the most poignant and beautiful one was shared by my portuguese speaking beauty, a
feeling of incompleteness…due to the absence of someone or something…or the absence of a set of particular and desirable experiences and pleasures once lived.

                                               
                                                                                                ~Scott Edward Anderson

writing saved me, healed me, brought me strength through love, friendship, and once again gave me purpose. this collection is an amalgamation of all these complex facets that were elated, heart wrenching, hopeful, hopeless, and my salvation.
i am so excited for you to walk this journey with me and connect with my words. but until they are available to hold, touch, and consume.....


                                                          on tuesday, may 14, 2013


…...you can have a sneak peek of what lies in wait behind this gorgeous cover here and at the links below.

hope you enjoy.

and even my tears

of both

Sharing Kate UK link
Sharing Kate US Link

Carter has found the love of his life. The problem is will his insecurities and her needs collide and force them apart or will he finally be able to let go and place his trust in the one woman he's waited his whole life for. Kate has a need to swing and this revelation has Carter making some tough choices! This is an ADULT EROTIC SHORT WITH GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF SEX. THIS IS FOR ADULTS ONLY!!!! Reviews chase is quickly becoming the one to read among erotica. he has an amazing talent at blending romance with the hot sensuality of raw sex. he walks the tightrope allowing you to love and to play. this is by far my favorite piece of his so far and you would be remiss to leave it off your to read list. chase is a story weaver and i am beyond eager to get my hands on his next masterpiece. do yourself a decadent favor and pick this wicked piece of awesomeness up. i promise you will not be disappointed.  Sharing Kate is a wonderfully well written erotic, yet very romantic and heart warming story. It's so refreshing to have a male author writing such beautiful thoughts and feelings. His characters are very relatable and lovable.

We follow the story of Carter through his thoughts and feelings of himself, his long time crush Talia and the love of his life Kate, who happen to be good friends and coworkers. Carter seems to have lost himself through bad relationships and heartache in the past and deems himself unworthy and incapable of having a lasting loving relationship. Then he finds Kate, the best thing that's ever come into his life. His love for her is apparent and their relationship blossoms for a while. His insecurities start creeping back into his mind and Kate seems to be unsatisfied.

When she finally fesses up and confronts him with what she wants, to swap partners with other couples, he finds himself being led down a road he's not sure he wants to go down. Sharing the love of his life with another man doesn't set well with him at all, but his love for Kate strengthens him to follow her down this strange and unknown path, but will it be enough?

Chase has done a fantastic job of pulling real feelings from Carter and inducing them into the hearts of his readers. Carter is a character whom is easy to fall in love with and will melt your heart and heat your passion to a raging inferno with his lust for Kate and we can't forget about Talia.

Steaming hot sex scenarios, that are very well written, will have you reaching for your special someone and possibly your lust and love will be rediscovered as well!

Five stars, hands down! Can't wait to read more of his work!

I admit this story made me a little bit anxious at first. I have written a story about "swinging" myself, and I remember being on an emotional roller-coaster ride when I was writing from the male "nice guy" character's POV. So, when I started to read this, I was really worried for Carter.
Despite reading and writing about so many dominating alpha males, I really do have a soft spot for nice guys! I wondered if this genuine, honest dude was going to have his heart twisted into a pretzel by the carnally experienced, aggressive, swinging Kate.
But Chase Boehner's masterful writing made me believe that a couple could swing/swap--while keeping their relationship healthy and close.
Kate proves to be a singular woman who never lets her man forget he's number one in her life--even when they're both coupling with other people.
It does also help that Carter ends up paired off on the first night of swapping with Talia, his long-time crush ... A treat he wasn't expecting to get from this arrangement.
And the final love/sex scene shows the love and tenderness between Kate and Carter, ending the story on a happy romantic note.
The writing throughout is excellent and exciting and detailed. Two scenes stood out for me: the "under the table" scene at the beginning, in the coffee shop (I loved Kate's daring spontaneity--wish I could be so bold in real life!). And it was all the more exciting due to the fact that Kate's BFF Talia was watching ...
The second scene was the "choosing" at the swinger's party. Carter, blindfolded, has to "control" his release until he's caressed by the female hand of his crush ... A brilliant and deliciously original scene. Show more Show less
