The Absolute Erotica Blog Hop starts on the 8th May, and it's following interviews from some of the best in erotica authors with the likes of L.A. Witt and Erika Lindsen. Why "Absolutely" Erotic? Well, all of the authors on this hop have one secret in common. A dark and deadly secret. A secret so dark and deadly, I can't even mention it without fear of poking a few eyeballs out. Oh, well, maybe if I just whispered it. Come here. Well, it's all to do with...

Interview With Author Sharon Robards
Today I'm doing an interview on my blog with Author Sharon Robards on her latest release: A Woman Transported, a brutal tale of a daughter fighting to find her mother after her mother's deportation to Australia during the 1800s. It's far away from my usual tastes, but the convict deportation and the treatment of women and children who were shipped from London to Australia is a killer attention-grabber for me. So I was delighted when Sharon said she was open to an interview...http://jacklpyke.blogspot.co.uk/2013/...

M/M Group LHNB Story Hop.
M-m-mmmm, so this is the picture I've claimed in the Love Has No Boundaries" Dear Author, write me a story, thread. (A guy tied to a bed, who wouldn't cry claim :D )
A few of us authors from this challenge have banded together to create thread hop that will lift the sheet on our characters and allow readers an all-access pass to what's hidden beneath the M/M sheets.
This week it's week one, day six of the thread hop, and the theme is an extract, (next week it will be: "Three Things We Won't Find Out About Your MC From The Story").
Yesterday's hops came from the lovely Jenna Wade and Eli Easton:

Dear Author -- Joan: Meet...
... Sizzling Summer Fun.
I'm pretty new to the whole Goodreads "Love Has No Boundaries" event in the M/M group, and all I can say is: I can't believe it's taken me this long to get my ass in there and get involved. I'm LOVING it.
When I came across "Dear Author -- Joan", I fell in love with the picture that was posted (who wouldn't? A guy bound to a bed *waggles eyesbrows* -- you've just gotta cry claim). And as for the prompt itself -- it couldn't have stirred things any better. All psych-play and restraint... absolute heaven.
So along with my other commitments this month, I'm writing a free story for LHNB in the M/M group, and loving it in the process. Along the way, there'll be extracts posted, character traits, and anything else that comes to mind.
All I can say is thanks to the M/M group for organising all of this, but also a huge thanks to Joan for providing such a gorgeous tease to work with.
For any interested in Dear Author -- Joan's progress, the link is here:

Be great to have you along for the fun.

Review: Make Mine To Go
Oh my, the games some people play….
With everything I’d read, I thought it had put me in good stead to recognize the steps to most plot twists, but I have to admit that Make Mine To Go snuck up on me. And it left me chuckling at myself for not seeing it.
It opens with Toby, a twenty-two-year-old part-time sub, enjoying a touch of ménage with his dominant husband of four years, Justin, and their mutual friend (also a Dom). Toby is seen to feel comfortable with the complexity of dipping his toes into the beginnings of an open relationship, and he revels in his role, eager to investigate the stinging sensations being played upon on his body and mind. Justin is a little more standoffish, and like any good Dom, he sees Toby’s lingering thoughts over a scene and wandering gaze over other men is leading to something perhaps missing in the relationship for Toby. Toby is left thrown when Justin eases the conversation into the possibility that something is wrong, mortified that Justin possibly feels neglected in their relationship. But after Justin’s persistence to face the discussion, Toby comes to realize that maybe Justin is right, he needs something more, although admitting it is harder as they both know voicing it will lead them down a dangerous path.
The complications that arise are typical of any long-lasting relationship, that, even in D/s word, sometimes feel as though they need something new in order to survive. The question is always there as to whether we should take that choice, and thus bring in the threat of longer-lasting damage if we do.
I wasn’t taken by the idea of upset, initially. We’d opened with a D/s ménage scene where both Justin and Toby seemed happy enough to play out, so to suddenly have Justin say he was questioning just how willing and distracted Toby seemed to be with other men was a touch disorientating. And in that respect, I would have liked more of an in-depth look and build-up to their relationship to help draw that conclusion.
But then you pick up how in tune Justin is to Toby, recognizing Toby’s unease before Toby can figure out for himself, and I love the care and dynamics of the D/s relationship being played there. Which then made my heart tear a little when the twist started to play out, and that “Hell, he’s actually going to go through with it” came into play. I really felt the full impact of the implications it would have for both of them. There was a natural progression that makes you miss the signs, so that when the twist is revealed, you have that ”Should have seen that coming” moment, but you’re eased back down to normal pulse levels with how Keith allows the novelette to end.
Not a bad realistic portrayal of a D/s relationship at all. And even though I would have loved it to have been a longer work, I enjoyed the ride Make Mine To Go took me on.
