A Bit Of News And A Sale

Hello there everyone!


Sorry I’ve been MIA recently, this year seems to be flying by in a blur. Between working on my next novel and preparing for my first author signing I seem to have lost a hell of a lot of time, time that in the past I would have spent on here and for that I apologise. Guess��changing my phone didn’t help either as trying to use WP on my new phone is nigh on impossible…I want my iPhone back lol. Ok well I guess I best get to the point of this post rather than babbling on.


Firstly starting tomorrow my latest poetry book Lust and Lace will be on sale so why not grab yourself a bit of a bargain while you can. 25 deliciously sexy poems for ��0.99/$0.99!


Instasize


During quiet moments in her life S.J’s mind wanders to many different places, some of these wanderings she turns into prose.


This book is a collection of 25 poems, covering many different themes from Lust to Lace but each and everyone of them is erotic.


Come lose yourself in this collection of pure eroticism!

Book Review – Her Name Is James by CJ Heath

81DaBZAd+QL__SL1500_


Synopsis


When James Farrow’s father decided he wouldn’t have his 15 year old son under his roof any more, the boy was taken into care. Now James is 18 and is no longer the responsibility of Social Services. He returns home to an uncertain reception.

His volatile father has mellowed over time but his son seems intent to challenge his restraint. In the three years apart, James has taken the first steps toward the future he wants. He wants to make the transition to being the girl he wishes he had been born as.

With a defiant brother and a vicious former friend opposing him, James resumes a relationship with Tina, his friend since they were small and she is the only support he feels he can rely on.

When Tina declares her love for James, he is thrown into greater confusion and realises he has feelings for her.


My Review


Some times in life you come across a story that touches your heart and never ever leaves, this is for me is one of��those stories. I had the pleasure of reading this pre-release and I have re-read it a couple of times now as it is such a beautiful story.


Upon reading the first time I found myself completely hooked by the end of the first chapter, in fact by the end of the first page. James’ story is one that is full of twists, turns and highly emotional moments, to the point where I couldn’t put the book down. Each character has been so well thought out and written that I found myself feeling as if I knew them personally.


Whilst reading James’ story I found myself experiencing a whole range of emotions, there were parts that made me laugh��out loud, parts that made me cry so hard that I had to take some time to pull myself together and parts where I found myself shouting at the book (haha there’s a strong possibility my neighbours thought I’d lost the plot whilst reading).


I want to tell you more about this book but it’s hard to do without giving the story away, the title really tells you all you need to know. It’s a story about how James struggles to become who he really is whilst trying to gain acceptance of the people that mean the most to him.


The way in which Cj has told the story will make you ask questions of yourself and some of those questions may be uncomfortable to answer, it’s an eye opening story that really has left a lasting impression on my heart.


It is a story that I highly recommend, one that I hope touches the hearts of all that read it.

Author Biography



Living in England on the Hampshire / Surrey border, CJ is married to Sarah and the father of three grown sons. The house is shared with a deaf 19 year old cat who has no idea she doesn’t miaow and instead makes a mooing sound. (Update : Rosie the cat didn’t reach 20; she sleeps with her sister now).

CJ has written for pleasure for more decades than he cares to admit. Growing up on an old fashioned country estate, he’d often be found among the trees of a nearby wood with a book for company


After receiving a payout to leave the Ministry of Defence in a round of budget cuts, he turned his attention to writing with an aim to publish. His desire is to write what he terms as “Rip your heart out” stories; the first of these is ‘Her Name is James’, was released on October 12th 2014, a joint celebration as it marked 10,000 days of being with Sarah.


‘Dark Angel’ was his first book and was released with no fanfare at the end of August 2014. Despite the quiet release, it clawed it’s way to No.6 on the Amazon Gothic chart. The first book of a trilogy, he is actively working on the second book for an end of March release in 2015. This sequel is stronger and longer and will be titled ‘Hell on Earth’.


News of his current and future works can be found at his website http://www.cjheath.com

WorldPoetryDay – Cold Steel Eyes, A Benito Poem

Since today is #WorldPoetryDay and #IndieBookDay I thought I would share this poem that was inspired by Benito from my book Aphrodite’s Fire.


Huge thanks must once again go to John Quinlan for being such a star allowing his image to be used for Benito.


Hope you enjoy, Cold Steel Eyes…


635610841177172038


Stood in the dark


Waiting to see


If the vision he had


Would come to be


Would she do


As he had asked


And finally join


Him at last


Cold eyes trained


On the door


To the room


Knowing he would leave


If she didn’t come soon


Hand wrapped around


Smooth, solid shaft


Getting pleasure


From fingers


That played


Then at last


Door opened


And in she walked


Moving quickly out of sight


Blade at her throat


Breath caught


Fear poured from her


On which he feasted


Knowing it was needed


For her to be treated


Without sound


Removing blade


She fell to her knees


Legs slowly splayed


Her submission to him


The greatest gift


She was willing to learn


Ready to twist


Beneath his hand


Submitting to pain


Receiving pleasure


As she screamed his name


Then he would teach


See how she would learn


To bring others to knees


And make them burn


For him it was pleasure


For her something more


She was the perfect way


To settle his score


Looking at her


Through cold, steel eyes


Hand around throat


Smothering her sighs


No fight did she give


Just sweet submission


His little blonde pet


Lust’s sweet ignition


Forced against wall


Clothes tore from her flesh


Used without remorse


Reliving his stress


Walking away


When finally finished


Knowing she’d wait


Submission undiminished


The perfect pet


Finally found


Soon he would have her


Completely bound


To him


And his desires


Then he would see


The true glory of her fire


He could taste


The revenge


Knew she was the one


To bring everything


To a perfect end.



�� S.J Warner 2015.

THE CURTAINS PART



Lost

Mind clouded by a cloak of pitch darkness

Shrouding her every thought

In obsidian black

No light breaking through the veil of despair

Gone was the laughter

The joy and the pleasure

All that was left was pain

Loneliness and heart break

Her body so numb

Unable to fight

That was why she was there that night

In the dark, misty moorland

Sat in the dark

The cold blanket of night

Wrapped all around

Black that lived deep in her heart

As frigid cold seeped throughout

Her body and mind

Her heart faltered

Bitter chill taking a hold

She knew then her time

Would soon be over

Her mind closing to all thoughts

Instantly a shaft of light

Breaks through the dark

Almost as if heavy obsidian curtains part

Light becoming stronger

Almost quite blinding

Yet she felt no fear

Felt no pain or anguish
Embracing���

Aphrodite’s Fire, An Excerpt – Meet Benito

 


Benito3


Benito.


He had watched as the fool he worked for drove away, returning to his apartment only when the fancy car was no longer in sight. Sitting down on his couch he picked up his laptop. Looking at the information that appeared on the screen a smile played on his lips.


He really hadn���t expected to find anything with the small amount of information he had found in her purse but he had stumbled across a veritable gold mine. As his fingers tapped across the keys more and more information appeared before him.


He was sick of being a skivvy to Luca Bellomi. Don Armeo really needed to find out just how pathetic his nephew was but not just yet. It would soon be time but first he needed the love sick fool to use his looks and money to trap the little slut.


When the time was right he would play his hand but for now he would hold the information he had close to his chest. Soon the sexy little slut would be willing to do anything for him; he would make her beg for both hers and Luca���s lives.


Oh yes he was going to have so much fun playing with the little slut in front of the love struck fool that was going to hand her to him on a plate. The thought of what he would do to her out there in the barn made his cock harder than it had ever been.


Closing his eyes he popped the buttons on his pants, his hand wrapping tightly around his pulsing length, slowly and firmly he squeezed and stroked, images of her chained up and screaming flashed before his eyes, visions of the ordeal he would subject her to adding to his pleasure…


�� S.J Warner 2014.


Huge thanks to John Quinlan for not only being the visual inspiration for Benito but also for being a true gentleman (unlike Benito lol). Having his support means the world to me and I will be forever grateful.
