Erotic Author Spotlight with Special Guest M.J. Carey
I am pleased to share with you all today a Chase Boehner Exclusive sneak peek into the musings of erotic author M.J. Carey. I want to thank him for stopping by and thank you all for stopping to read. But, enough of my meager ramblings and on to the main event. Please enjoy this Q&A:
1.) Can you tell my readers a little about the writing team behind the pen name?
Hello Chase, Good to meet a fellow author. Thanks for interviewing me.
The pen name. M.J.Carey is made up of elements of my real name. I use it to separate my erotic writing from my non-writing day job, and from a more mainstream novel I’ve written. The writing is all just from my mind and goes a long way to answer my creative needs. Meanwhile the proofreading, editing and feedback is from my significant other. She tells me whether she likes it or not and points out where I’ve gone wrong with the punctuation (laughs).
I should also credit the passengers on my commute to work over nine years. On these journeys I’ve written three novels and all the Sisterhood stories (all using a PDA). My fellow commuters had no idea I was off in some fantasy world, imagining such things, travelling with my mind and recording it all for my readers.
2.) Can you define the M.J. Carey erotic experience and what readers can expect when they dive into your books?
My writing is generally about Female domination: Strong women and the strong(ish) men they find; men who are willing to bow down to their women. Against those relationships, I hope I describe a meeting of minds that escalates to a higher, intense sexuality, complete with tension, anticipation, apprehension, a little danger and a power exchange. I like to explore the negotiating stage of a relationship between people, to explore their ulterior motives: what are they prepared to give in order to receive what they want? What do they want? What do they need? Even though we’re talking about relationships based on Dominance and submission, the ‘bottoms’ are not necessarily submissive people, just willing to submit to the Dominant, possibly to get more than they bargained for. I hope that the erotic element is powerful and, in many cases, I'm sure it's extreme, but believable. After all erotica needs to do exactly what it sets out to achieve. I hope my writing is sexually convincing and my readers will be moved. Finally, all the scenes must be safe, sane and consensual. No matter how extreme the situation, the word ‘yes’ needs to be heard and safe words used.
3.) You have a series out now titled The Sisterhood. Could you please give our readers a quick introduction to this world?
The Sisterhood is a shadow organization of like-minded women who enslave their men for power or for pleasure. The Sisterhood want to influence their world for the better. The members see this method of control as the perfect way. All the stories in the Sisterhood series are intended to show different aspects of the organization. It's secret, it's exclusive, by invitation only, its membership is drawn from successful women who both support the organization and reap the benefits of joining the club. Their only obligation is to obtain a slave as part of the joining fee. Most of their activities are held behind closed doors in their own homes but there is a place, funded by the organization, to the outside world a hotel, where they meet and keep their co-owned slaves. Three of the stories published so far deal with the recruitment of slaves, while two: ‘An Itinerant slave’ and ‘The Equestrienne’, address the organization's private houses and what they do with their established, willing captives. More is revealed as each story is published. I’m planning a collection which will include a framing story that reveals a lot more.
4.) You have a new series starting as well: House of Penheligon. Is this a new stand alone series or are there ties to The Sisterhood?
House of Penheligon is a series of novels I wrote over five years. Again the series is about female domination but this time in an exclusive, female society. There are similarities to the Sisterhood in the relationships between Dominants and submissives. Penheligon house is in Cornwall and was once neglected and falling apart before being sold by the family to be developed into a hotel. The central characters are three sisters from the original family. They have returned from Australia to buy it back and use it for their own, special purposes; enslaving females. There are men in the stories but only a few, trying to get in. Helped By one of the sisters. They don't all agree with the exclusivity. The tension comes from the conflicting needs and wants of the individual dominants and their possessions.
5.) You also have some unconnected stories on the way, can you tell us what erotic genres you will be exploring in these new works?
I have a few in progress at varying stages of completion (I don’t think I’ll ever have time to suffer writer’s block). Unusually for me, one deals with male domination of a female. I think there’s more to explore there so it may be the first of a few. We’ll see. Two other stories address chastity and denial, either using the power of the mind and self-control, or using physical devices, using chastity and denial as a motivator, or as a leveler. There will be elements of D&S in both but not to the extent of the Sisterhood or the House of Penheligon.
6.) What prompted your journey into the world of Erotica?
A great question. I’ve always wanted to write, ever since I was five. Obviously not erotica at that stage (although I’ll admit to a liking for Emma Peel of the Avengers, as a lad, especially when she was tied up). Later, while building a career that had nothing to do with writing as such, I dabbled a bit. Some years ago I wrote my first erotic story, a short novel. I consider that ‘practice’ and it will never be published. I then did some creative writing classes, focusing on mainstream. That experience told me I needed to make time to write. The train gave me that opportunity. My motivation was to write erotica, I think I just have that kind of mind, so I started on House of Penheligon. I kept going until I had finished (700 pages) and several other pieces. I took a break from the erotica in 2010 to write the other novel, which I epublished last year. Hungry for more I went back to spruce up the erotica, and here we are now. Above all I hope it’s well written, whether erotica or mainstream.

Early Reviews for Keeping Kara!!!! Humbled and Appreciated!!!
As with any work you publish, I think most authors will tell you that waiting for those first reviews to roll in can be very stressful. Will readers like it, hate it, or worse just find it bland. As an author you want to inspire some feelings from your readers and I am thankful that this story is finding fans and love. The characters went in many different directions than originally planned, as they always do. I always listen to them and scrap what I had planned for them, they know best where they are going, and at that point when they start talking to me, I make sure I listen and let them tell their own tale. Thanks to all who stop by here, who buy my books either from Amazon, Smashwords, or any other e-reader sites. I truly appreciate the kindness and acceptance I have received in this endeavor of making my dreams a reality and I owe you all a great big THANK YOU!!!! Yours humbly, Chase!!! 5.0 out of 5 stars Surprise!, April 6, 2013 By Brandon This review is from: Keeping Kara (Kindle Edition) Chase never ceases to have some surprise up his sleeve! Not gonna blow it for any of you, but trust me it's worth it. What starts out to be a remotely innocent (or as innocent as you can for a Chase Boehner book) night, quickly takes some twists and turns that will have you you flipping the pages to find out what will happen to Kara in a night of pure lust and desire at the mercy of Chase's imagination. Well worth the purchase, I should warn you however, it stirs feelings. Enjoy! 5.0 out of 5 stars Very Sensual, April 6, 2013 By Kim Muhl - This review is from: Keeping Kara (Kindle Edition) I went into this thinking it was going to be just sex. However, the author changed things up and wrote a very sexy, sensual, and HOT story! Kara is naughty, yet sophisticated. Sam is the hot body, in a suit. Logan is the outdoorsy man. Both give her what they need during a night filled with passion and heat. Great read for those lonely nights or with that special someone. 5.0 out of 5 stars Keeping Kara., April 8, 2013 By Bexxful This review is from: Keeping Kara (Kindle Edition) Oh i think this is my favourite read by Chase Boehner. Can a erotica author get any kinkier while still keeping it fresh and new? In answer HELL YES! This is a scorcher. I was laughing at Kara's off hand humour and slight crudeness, this girl knows what she wants. Sam and Logan two men, one suit and tie, one rugged, and Kara likes them both. Keeping Kara is refreshing and very stimulating with plenty of surprises, very hot and heavy. Chase is like a chef who always has all the best ingredients, whatever he cooks up the result is always a story worth every one of its 5 stars! MUST READ! 5.0 out of 5 stars A Keeper, April 8, 2013 By Elizabeth (London, UK) This review is from: Keeping Kara (Kindle Edition) Chase Boehner has done it again with this sexy, hot and all too thrilling story; the bondage scene is perfect and incredibly erotic. I hope Kara is destined for further adventures because I intend to keep up with Kara.

EXCLUSIVE Sneak Peek at My New Release Keeping Kara!!!
Keeping Kara
By Chase Boehner
The scene was finally set. My apartment was dark except for the soft lamps I had on in my living room. Cinnamon wafted through the air from the scented candles I had lit. The spicy aroma filled my lungs in one deep breath. I exhaled slowly in a failed attempt to relax. Nothing had ever made me this nervous.
Logan and Sam would be here soon. Sam, of course, would be his customary fifteen minutes early, while Logan would arrive about twenty minutes late. I had dated both men on and off over the last few years, but the timing had never seemed right for any of us. They were two great guys who I had not been able to make a decent go with and I had definitely felt the loss of each over the last three months.
Somehow, I had remained close to both of them. They had met a few times but had never been friendly. I guess knowing you’ve fucked the same girl kind of screws up being bosom buddies. For my sake, I had to hope that could change. For too long now I’ve been alone. At some point in the last few years, I realized what a relationship wreck I was. I was never the girl who dreamed of my perfect wedding day but I also never pictured myself alone and loveless. I ached to be loved; the only problem being I couldn’t choose between the two best things that had ever happened to me. I loved two men.
For their parts I knew they hadn’t found their perfect mates either. They were always too busy with their careers and personal interests to devote the necessary amount of time to a proper relationship. I was counting on this fact to pull us all together. I had more to gain from this than they did but I hoped I could be enough to satisfy their limited needs. I had to be. If not, it was back to crying myself to sleep and feeling like a failure. I had to make this work.
Lucky for me they had similar tastes and dressing to please them only had a few requirements. My sapphire eyes shone back at me in the glass top of the coffee table. I shifted my gaze, assessing myself for something like the fiftieth time in the last few minutes. Funny, my reflection still looked the same as before. Jet black hair (freshly dyed)? Check! Matching eye liner, bra and panties? Check! Black stiletto heels? Check! Cherry red lips? Check! Red silk robe to cover it all up until (hopefully) the right moment? Check! Confidence? Work in progress; please check back in one half hour.
I needed to focus on other things before I drove myself insane, waiting for the first echo of Sam’s rough knuckles against my door. My mind wandered back over the last few months leading up to tonight. I had one glorious week where I did the “friends with benefits” hook up with Sam one night and then later in the week with Logan. I had been feeling down, much like now and just needed attention since I had once again found my life bare and wanting for something more substantial. Being naïve still, I recall deciding sex was going to fill that hole. Not a great decision, but I wasn’t making any of the right ones at that point.
I had sent out a text to each of them hoping to catch them single and in as much need as I had been. Sam had texted back right away and we ended up having a great afternoon together. We caught up over lunch.
Sam, always a gentleman, paid for our soup and sandwiches that day. As we talked I stared at his suit. He always had the nicest suits. It was dark blue and brought the depth of his hazel eyes into sharp focus. His blond hair was short and professional, and the clean shave of his face gave him a chiseled, stone look. He was a business man by day, but a metal sculptor by night; the two such a stark contrast I found him to be a complete enigma. He exuded sex and cleaned up well; his tailored suits covering up most of his scars and scratches from his sculpting. With his art selling at high end prices, income was not an issue for him. I never saw the value in it but kept that opinion to myself. Hell, I barely saw the value in most of what I did so who the fuck was I to judge.
It was enough to have him there, to see his solid chest and sinewy arms pushing against the confines of the expensive Italian wool. It probably had a higher thread count than my bed sheets and his shoulders bulged out just enough to dampen my department store panties. Needless to say I made it a quick lunch, desperate to fuck him again. I would end up mostly disappointed.
Part of the reason we hadn’t worked out was how busy he was. Sam had it all going on, but he could never commit to being around. That didn’t stop me from letting him finger me to orgasm in his car. His rough fingers had sped in and out of my pussy and it had taken an embarrassingly short amount of time until I shuddered against his hand an creamed his leather seats. In my post orgasmic bliss I jerked him off. His cock was beautiful. It was seven inches of hard muscle that I frantically freed from his silk boxers. He came almost as quickly as I did and I knew from experience that letting his cum stain his suit wasn’t an option. When his breathe shortened, I circled his crown with my lips and sucked his creamy cocktail down my throat.
I was ready for round two back at my place, but he zipped up and headed back to work, making weak apologies as he dropped me off at home. I liked that he was a responsible man and not a boy. He had his life in order and his confidence was sexy as hell. The demands of that life left me wanting and frustrated with the dregs of our lusty afternoon still stirring up buried emotions.

Your Opinion on My Interviews?
Ok everyone, I just wanted to take a moment and ask your opinion about the interviews I have been conducting lately. Do you love them, hate them, don't care either way?
If you like them, what's working for you?
If you hate them, where am I falling short?
If your indifferent, what would you like to see posted here?
What would you like to see in future interviews?
Any questions I'm not asking that you would like to see asked?
This blog works because you visit and read and humble me by stopping by. I want to continue to be an entertaining stop on your daily blog hop and what you think really does make a difference to me. I know not a lot of people post comments, but this is your chance to help shape a post into something you find worthwhile. I will always do interviews, but there is room for growth and also room for more posts that perhaps i have not thought of. I am still new to this whole Blogging adventure and like anyone that cares about what they do, I want to improve my output to all of you so it's not left wanting.
Thanks for anyone that leaves a comment and participates! Best Wishes to All and Take Care!! :-) Chase

Chloe gives us an indulgent peek into her Erotic World and what drives her characters and narrative. Please enjoy this very special sitdown.
1.) What Defines the Chloe Thurlow Erotica experience between the pages?
The first rule of erotic literature for me is that it is literature - well-written, original, with fresh ideas and insights. I try to make my characters real, dynamic, interesting and interested in new experiences - experiences that may be new to the reader and takes them into new places. I like alliterations, wordplay, subtext and try to bring to my erotic novels the immersive, compulsive feeling you would get from, say, Milan Kundera or Gabriel Garcia Marquez - or Anais Nin.
2.)What sub-genre in Erotica most influences your work? (bdsm, spanking.etc...)
Having discovered that pain is the mysterious bedfellow to pleasure and spanking can be so extraordinarily erotic, I explored this sub-genre in my early novels. While a jolly nice bit of spanking creeps into the pages of my later work, I have developed a taste for romance and find the interplay between love and kink an exciting new continent to explore. 3.) What book of yours is closest to your heart and why?
Of my 5 novels I would have to say "The Secret Life of Girls" because there is a strong element of autobiography and I just feel that it "works" best. Plot is driven by character. Get the character right and she will tell you where the story is going. Pin down the character and the book writes itself.
4.) What future projects can readers expect from you?
I am in the midst of writing a novel called "Love Hurts" and was asked recently to write a short story by Sweetmeats Press, which I decided to set in Cambridge the year I started university. I thought about some of the people I studied - Jean-Paul Sartre, Marcel Duchamp, Georges Bataille, and have got carried away weaving them into a seduction story involving my protagonist's tutor. I am not very good at writing "short" and the word count is already over what the commissioner's asked for but I believe stories have their own length and they tell you when they are finished.
5.) What was your introduction into the world of Erotica?
I was given a copy of "A Spy in the House of Love" by Anais Nin. I was hooked immediately. I read everything by her, everything. It was actually my tutor who persuaded me to write my first erotic story and it was published in a literary magazine. I showed my Mother and we have had a tetchy relationship ever since.
6.) What title of yours is a good jumping on point for new readers?
Before readers dive into a novel, "Flight 69" would be a good start. It is about sex on a plane, but I took the old cliche and stood it on its head...I tried anyway.

Author Spotlight on Cameron Lincoln and his Naughty Words!!
Welcome everyone to another Male Erotica Author Spotlight. Today we hang out with Cameron Lincoln and get a little insight into his world.
1.) What led you into the Erotica genre?
I started writing erotica in 2012 when I wrote A Friendly Rivalry. I liked the idea that something I wrote could excite someone, if only for the time it took them to read. Once I put the story out there and people started buying it and enjoying it, it was the greatest feeling in the world. I'd always written, but this was a great grenre to play in becase the emotions and reactions you create are so intense.
2.) What subgenre of erotica most influences your writing and why?I like stories about people exploring new things, discovering what makes them tick and finding new things that turn them on. Characters who find themselves, or something new about themselves, through sex, relationships and passion. I don't know if that's a particular genre per se, but it could fit into any area of sexuality. Regardless of setting or fetish, I think erotica should always be about people, so I love stories that make me care about the characters who're going through these things. It could be a simple likeability or something I can identify with. It makes me want to go on their journey far more than just having two anonymous stock characters going at it for the sake of sex.
3.) What do you see as the biggest difference between male and female written erotica?It would be easy to say male writers focus on the physicality of a scene while the female authors will pay more attention to the emotion, but that's a very broad generalistion and isn't true in so many of the cases. I read and love work by both genders, and I think you could easily do a 'blind reading' where you presented me with erotica written by talented writers of both sexes and I'd never be able to tell the difference. If you can find that balance between story, phsyicality and emotion then you've written a piece then it doesn't matter. But I do think some readers steer towards a particular kind for gender reasons - they like knowing it was written by a man or a woman in particular, because regardless of the POV of the characters, it will always give insights into the way of thinking of a male or female writer.
4.) How would you compare British written Erotica to american written Erotica?To be honest, I don't think there's a difference, aside from some of turns of phrase/colloquialisms that might appear in dialogue. Sex is universal, and the geographical location of the writer doesn't come into my decision to read a particular book. Any kind of notions of national stereotyping based on sex is a myth. Having been born and raised in England, the 'No sex please, we're British' thing is absolutely poppycock, I promise you!
5.) What future projects can your fans expect from you?The third part of my Holiday Heat trilogy is currently in progress - titled Oceans Of 'Desire'. That'll be the next thing that I publish. I've got two other stories in progress and about seven ideas for others, so plenty to be keeping me busy. I want to make every story different, explore a different fetish or genre with erotica running through it.
6.) What book of your is a good jumping on point for new readers?Extra Marital Pleasures. It feels like a very complete and beautiful story to me. I don’t blow my own trumpet as a writer very often but I was proud of that story when it was finished. I feel like I hit that mix of story, character, emotion and sex just right. But then I encourage others to give it a read and judge for themselves!
