Across the Beer Bar with GINA GORDON!
Welcome to my Beer Bar Gina! What can I pour you to start?
Oh, I definitely picked the right woman to sit down with today!! I love your Tap Room. I'll try some of your Wolverine Winter Lager please.
Good choice, it's my best seller and nice place to begin your craft beer journey.
Tell us a little about Passionate Ink. How did you get involved?
Passionate Ink is the Erotic Romance chapter of the Romance Writers of America (RWA). We're a group of smut writers (: It's a forum where published and unpublished writers can mingle and share knowledge. I became Vice President of the chapter and Contest Coordinator in 2011 and will continue through 2012. It's been a very positive experience so far and we have a dedicated and hard working Board of Directors. But I will say I was bullied into it. LOL It isn't something I would have pursued on my own so I thank my friend Cristal Ryder--the PI President--for coercing me.
I must say, Her 5 Favorite Words has one of THE hottest covers around. Tell us about those words....
Justyn Perry did a fantastic job with my cover!! As for the 5 words, they are the 5 least sexy words on the planet LOL. Everyone thinks the words have something to do with sex but they don't. I won't give them away (: but they are my 5 favorite words! Can't go a day without saying them.
Huh, mine would be:BeerSex.....um.....anywayHow many books have you had published?
I've had 2 short stories and 2 novellas published with Breathless Press and 3 novellas published with Lyrical Press.
I see you got in with Entangled. Congrats. I think they are among the hottest e publishers around. I have a little stack of rejections with their name on it (sad face). And for the record I LIKE the title Fire and Icing. Good luck with them. I'm sure they will really launch you into the stratosphere. Tell us about the cupcake inspiration.
Thanks! I'm so happy to finally sign a contract with Entangled. Took me a while (: They have a very welcoming and supportive group of authors and I'm really excited about the direction the company is going.
As for my inspiration, on my list of favorite things in the world are cupcakes. The heroine in my novel, Liv, is actually following my secret dream. If I wasn't a writer, I'd be baking cupcakes.
I also have set a 5-year goal of getting a NY contract. But honestly, I wonder, do we need one? Tell me why you think you do.
Gah! It's a tricky question in a tricky business. But a business that I love. Romance readers have embraced ebooks so wholeheartedly and so many authors make a living writing ebooks. Personally, I think you have to dip your pen into more than one avenue. Digital and NY print or Self publishing and Digital. The choice is yours. And that's the best part about this industry right now, the possibility. You just have to make sure that you're making the right decision for you…not what you think you should be doing.
oh my, empty glass---what's next in there for you?
I'll try another one of your brews please. How about the California Common.Good choice....I'll have another Gulo Gulo myself...
Yeah, Justin Timberlake: Hunk thank you very much.
LOL JT is a major hunk. He's definitely on my freebie 5 (:
Ahem, Did you get your Mac?
I DID!! And I'm in love!!
How long have you been writing/getting published?
I have been published since 2010 and I made the decision to seriously write for publication in 2009. To be honest, writing has always been in the back of my mind and I wrote a lot when I was a younger when the real world didn't get in the way.
What is coming up next for you?
Well, I have my contemporary romance novel coming out with Entangled Publishing in late 2012. I'm also working on a few category romances so we'll see where that leads.
nightcap time! what's your poison?
Hmmm….can I stick with beer? That one went down well (:
I'll pour you a special from our secret stash of bourbon barrel aged Oktoberfest....divine.thanks for stopping by! best of luck! you are one of my favorites I will admit it---keep us posted on your progress.
I will! Thanks so much for having me Liz. Your beer is delicious!

Forever In Lingerie
How far would you go to hold on to forever?
Martina Jackson spent the last two years running from her past. Through the practice of Holistic Medicine she has meticulously transformed into a self-fulfilled woman, with one tiny exception…hot, steamy sex with no strings. While she waits for the job offer of a lifetime, why not quench her sexual desires with an eager man willing to push her to the limit? What she doesn't plan for is, the fling is exactly what she's been running from.
Rob Taylor has been waiting his whole life to find the woman he can call forever. He didn't expect to find her in his parents' living room wearing nothing but white lace and stockings. When he overhears her discussing her secret sexual fantasies, Rob decides to give her what she's been missing.
As they play out each fantasy he connects with Martina on a deeper level, confirming what he knew the very first moment he heard her voice…that she is the one he's been waiting for.
Content warning; explicit sex, ménage and the use of Holistic Medicine as foreplay.
Temptation In Lingerie
Are you willing to risk it all and give in to temptation?Carrie Taylor can't believe her luck. Along with her own lingerie line she's now the proud owner of Satin and Lace, a specialty lingerie store. She has everything she's ever wanted...except Aleks Turko. After a lifetime spent pining over the man she can never have, Carrie decides to take back her love life. Vowing to get him out of her system once and for all, she propositions Aleks for a one night stand.Growing up without a mother and with an uncommunicative father, Aleks Turko sought comfort in the arms of the Taylor family. As an adult, he now has everything he needs - a second family, good friends, and a bottomless barrel of women. But over the last few months vivid, sexual thoughts about Carrie have become a regular occurrence. He's managed to keep his urges at bay, but when he walks in on her wearing one of her lacy designs, all bets are off.When what was supposed to be a one-time affair snowballs into a battle of wills, Carrie and Aleks must decide if they should risk everything and give in to temptation.Contains explicit language, sex and an unorthodox use of a fitting room.
Bound In Lingerie
Being bound together was never part of the plan.
Amie Woods is living the life she wants, but her search for a man who can keep up with her sexual demands has tested her faith in Happily Ever After. Milton Campbell bears the weight of the world on his shoulders, but when he has the opportunity to re-ignite old friendships, it reminds him of a time in his life when he knew how to have fun.
When the two meet, sparks fly--and not the good kind. Their dislike for one another is second only to the sexual attraction simmering between them. A twist of circumstance lands them in the same bed, and Milton jumps at the opportunity to put his pleasure in Amie's hands. A two-week fling might be exactly what he needs to bring back his love of life, and Amie can't throw away the opportunity to be herself--both in and out of the bedroom.
At first, they seemed all wrong for each other. But when "casual" builds into something more, Amie and Milton must decide if they're willing to risk being bound together by love.
Contains explicit language, sex and a torturous strip tease in leather.
Gina Gordon loves spinning contemporary tales of knee-bending first kisses, unconditional love and super-hot sex scenes. She loves all things cupcakes and is addicted to Starbucks. Gina lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband and lovable dog. You can reach Gina at gina@ginagordon.net.
