Sneak Peek Sunday - September 8 - Deadly Enchantment #SPeekSunday #Paranormal #Shifters

An unhappy shape shifter can be a dangerous companion....

For Sneak Peek Sunday authors share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).

My excerpt for this week is from my 2nd book, Deadly Enchantment.  A shapeshifting wizard romance set in Victorian England published by New Concepts Publishing, 

In this snippet, which occurs near the end of the first Chapter, Dominic Westcroft has returned from London to discover his sister has invited several young women to his home, so he can select a new bride.  Except, Dominic has no intention of ever marrying again.  However, when he suspects one of their guests possesses magical abilities she doesn't want them to know about, he decides to have them join him for dinner so he can rout out the culprit.

            The summons to dinner was neither unexpected nor desired.  Serena told the women that whatever they did, they should not show their fear.  She worried about Susan and Allison the most.  Neither was particularly strong nor adept at hiding their feelings.  She coached them as best she could, then each left to get changed.  Dinner, they were informed, was a formal affair, and they were expected to dress accordingly.

            They descended the stairs in single file and in alphabetical order, as they had been instructed.  Serena wanted to change places with Allison to protect her, but Allison was afraid they’d be discovered and feared what might happen as a result.  Serena worried more for Allison than herself, but if following the rules kept her cousin from fretting, she wouldn’t insist.

            The Master of Ravenswood, dressed in formal evening attire, stood from his seat at the head of the table as they entered.  He may have manners and style, but that didn’t make him any less of a demon in Serena’s mind.  Mrs. Sloan asked them to remain in alphabetical order and stand behind the chairs beginning at Mr. Westcroft’s left.  Once they were in position and Mrs. Sloan had taken her leave, Dominic Westcroft gave a nod and their chairs drew back from the table as if unseen servants had politely pulled them back for the ladies to sit.  Several of the women gasped, but no one moved.  Serena’s heart sank as she realized he had sensed her abilities when their essences melded, and now he intended to use his magic as a means of forcing her to disclose herself.

            Katherine Shaw was the first to regain her composure.  Gracefully drawing back her wine red velvet skirt, she took her seat and actually smiled at the man and thanked him.

            Dominic Westcroft’s eyes took on a predatory gleam as he regarded her.  Following Katherine’s lead, Serena took her seat as well.  She wasn’t sure what order the others followed since all her concentration was focused on holding her flighty napkin still on her lap.  Glancing up she noticed Dorothy struggling to keep her silverware flat on the table, Frances tugging to keep her napkin from covering her face and Melissa gripping tightly to hers to keep it from tucking into her lace-frilled bosom.  Only Susan and Allison appeared to be untouched by their host’s pranks, and both of them looked as if they’d faint if anything moved on them.

            From the slight curve of his lips, Serena suspected Westcroft was only dallying with them, and she dreaded what would happen when his efforts turned earnest.

Dominic Westcroft is determined to flush out their deceptive guest and expose her for the deceitful liar he takes her to be.

Saturday Spankings - September 7 - Arrested by Love #SatSpanks #Spanking #Romance

He caught her speeding in a school zone and decided she needed to learn even civil disobedience could have very painful consequences.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop.  My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health.  This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.  

My submission for this week is from my first spanking novel, Arrested by Love, published by Blushing Books.

  In this scene, near the beginning of the book, Kyle, a traffic patrol officer, has pulled over a young woman for speeding in a school zone.  Tiffany has been in love with Kyle since she was ten, so this isn't the first time she's faced the strict police officer because of some prank she's pulled.  It's not even the first time she's been caught speeding, which means she's spent a fair amount of time over his knees.  Even so, Kyle is prepared to let her go with a warning and a ticket until she propositions him.  Angry, partly because he's tempted to accept her bribe, Kyle decides to offer her a choice.  She can either spend a night in jail, or place herself over his lap and receive a harsh spanking for her reckless driving.  However, when Tiffany's bravado crumbles, Kyle doesn't hesitate to offer comfort.  Though he's determined to teach her a lesson, he's fallen in love with the minx, so he also intends to take steps to ensure the lesson he gives her doesn't cause damage or harm, despite her objection to his methods.

       "You don't get two votes to my one," she declared, scowling at him.

       He tapped her on the nose.  "In matters that concern your safety and well-being, sweetheart, you don't get any votes at all."

       Giving a wince and a tiny squirm, she asked, "Can't we negotiate on this?"

       He shook his head.  "Not this time, I'm afraid."  He checked his watch again.  "You're up to sixty-eight now, Tiffany.  So, I suggest you make up your mind soon."

       "I can't do it," she finally said on a whine.  "I'd rather spend a night in jail."

Hmm.  Kyle suspects Tiffany will change her mind, but he intends to carry through either way.

It's another Frisky Friday, and I can't think of a better way to spend it than over at the Spanking Stories Book Club where I talking about my newest release Acting Lessons.

http://writercelestejones.blogspot.com/

Several readers have commented about Kate and Peter's conflict over birth control in Acting Lessons.  and for good reason too.  It's a controversial subject, so it's ripe for discussion.

Natasha Knight has Kathryn R. Blake on her lap #Interview #Spanking #Writing

The lovely Natasha Knight has invited me over to her place to talk about, writing, spanking, acting and spanking.  And the picture above is not a position I would ever want to be in for so many reasons, I'd have to lie down on a couch to tell you them.  However, I love Natasha Knight's writing and I was thrilled she invited me over.

So, if you get a chance to pop over and chat with us, I'd love to have the company.  Actually, her heroes are incredibly strict (sexy, but strict) and I'm afraid she might have one of them show up to "discuss" things with me, so please come over....  Please

Horny Hump Day - September 4 - A Dom's Dilemma #HornyHDay #BDSM #Romance

Wanting and receiving can be two entirely different things.

This material is NSFW (Not Safe For Work). If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

Welcome back to Horny Hump Day, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny erotic tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences.  And boy is that hard to do, sometimes....

My post for this Wednesday is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma, an erotic BDSM/spanking novel published by Blushing Books.  Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, were secondary characters in Arrested by Love.  Though this story stands on its own, if you read Arrested by Love, you'll most likely recognize some of the scenes, since we see a little bit of Kyle and Tiffany in this book, too.

For this selection on Horny Hump Day, I'm continuing the scene in A Dom's Dilemma where Jim is making love to Kelly for the first time.  Though a little nervous, Kelly has been wanting Jim for a few days, and is eager to have him.  However, when Jim unzips his jeans, Kelly begins to grow uncertain.  Jim instantly recognizes the wariness in her expression, and even teases her a bit while he carefully gauges the changes in her expression. While he works with her to ease her uncertainty, he comes to a few conclusions of his own.

Yes, she acted out at times, and could be unacceptably insolent, but she didn't do it because she wanted to be punished.  Just the opposite in fact.  She was afraid of pain and being stripped bare emotionally beneath another's control.  Someone had done a real job on her, and he meant to fix it so she no longer feared anything they did together-- anything.

Jim is into control, not pain, and he wants Kelly to find pleasure in sex, but the Dom in him refuses to let her take the lead.  Things happen his way, and on his terms.  End of story.  Even so, he can't help wondering if there isn't more to her story than she's letting on.

A Dom's Dilemma is available for sale at Blushing Books.  If you'd like to read more, I'm providing a 3 chapter preview on my web site's Spanking Romance page.  So, keep watching.

Sneak Peek Sunday - September 1 - Mortal Illusions #SPeekSunday #Vampires #Romance

For a vampire, love means watching someone you care about die.

Sneak Peek Sunday is a weekly excerpt hop where each author shares six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).

My submission for this week is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books.  Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.

In this excerpt, which is the beginning of the first chapter, Germaine St. Justine has sensed his former lover's pain and visits her in the hospital in an effort to ease her suffering.  After some gentle teasing combined with a soothing back rub, he gently bites her neck and draws out a few seconds worth of blood.
.

             Stepping around the bed, he noticed her narrowed blue eyes and arched one eyebrow in inquiry as he shrugged out of his coat.

            “You always did end things far too quickly,” she admonished him weakly as he removed his jacket and rolled up one sleeve.

            He retrieved a thin, black box from his coat pocket and placed it on the small tray table stationed near her waist.  “Are you accusing me of leaving you unsatisfied?”

            “No,” she conceded, her gaze fixed on the hypodermic syringe he lifted from the box.  “Merely reminding you that I wasn't the one who wanted you to stop.  In fact--”  She drew a sharp breath and winced when he stabbed the long needle into his arm.  A bright crimson fluid flowed into the syringe, reflecting light in the way that rubies might, if they were reduced to liquid form.  “In fact,” she repeated a little unevenly, “I wasn't the one against prolonging our lovemaking to its natural conclusion.”

            He smiled then, but his expression contained more self-recrimination than humor.  “Consider it an overzealous attack of scruples on my part,” he replied, laying the filled hypodermic on the tray table and reaching for the insulated juice pitcher seated on the cabinet near the head of her bed.

            Her gaze remained riveted on the softly glowing syringe.  “What would happen if you were to inject that directly into someone's vein?”

A vampire's blood has many healing properties, and though Germaine can't cure Marguerite, he is able to smooth the pathway she must take for her final journey.

Saturday Spankings - August 31 - A Dom's Dilemma #SatSpanks #BDSM #Spanking

She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop.  My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health.  This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.  

My submission for this week is from my first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, Jim, a former Texan who by day works as a police detective and by night lives and plays as a Dom, is in the Velvet Chains BDSM medical station attempting to give his new submissive, Kelly Franklin, an anal exam. When Kelly goes ballistic, Jim suspects fear, rather than brattiness, is responsible for her reaction.  After giving her repeated opportunities to use her safeword, Jim is left with little choice.  She is being disrespectful, defiant and acting like a brat, all of which screams punishment to a Dom.  So, after giving her approximately thirty swats, with twenty for swearing, he attempts to calm his sobbing sub.

            When the last swat was delivered, he pulled her up in his arms and held her while she sobbed against his chest like a broken mechanical doll.  They were large, gasping sobs that made her whole body shake.  He rubbed her back and tried to soothe her, but when she showed no signs of stopping, he knew he'd have to get firm again to bring her out of it.

            "That's enough!" he barked, and she struggled to draw in a calming breath, but even that didn't ease her sobbing.  If she continued much longer, she'd make herself sick, and he couldn't allow that.  So, he wrapped her up in a tight, compression squeeze until her wracking sobs lessened.

            "Even with those last twenty, I didn't swat you near as hard as I should've to cause all this," he scolded, keeping his tone light, but his hold firm.  "You must have an awfully tender butt, girl, because in my world those were mere love taps."  Raising one hand, she clutched his shirt and hung on.  It was the first voluntary movement she'd made since he'd finished her punishment, so he eased up on the pressure and rocked her in his arms.

Though Jim can be strict, he likes a bit of spunk in a sub.  And even though Kelly crossed a line that obliged him to punish her, her sobs are way out of proportion for the spanking he'd administered, which means something else is wrong.

Guest Post - Mary Sue Wehr discusses "Her Heart's Desire" - Writing @marysuewehr #menage

I'm so pleased to have conned, I mean invited, Mary Sue Wehr to join me today.  She writes sexy menage with a lot of heart.  Come sit next to me on the comfy sofa, Mary, and tells us all about your, I mean "Her Heart's Desire."

Hi Kathryn. Thanks so much for hosting me. ‘Her Heart’s Desire’ is my second book in what I call my ‘Heart Series’. My first, ‘A Heart’s Endeavor’ was about state trooper Jack Horan and widowed Melanie Manning.  Melanie, Sara and Stacy work together in a small but busy convenience store. I decided after ‘A Heart’s Endeavor’ was published that I’d give Sara and Stacy their own story. These three books can be standalones.

Readers love series, though, including me.  One of the questions many readers want to know is how long did you write before you were published? Let’s see. I started my first book many years ago but set it aside when I became pregnant with my daughter. That book was shelved for a long time. I finally finished it in 2010, but it was rejected so I started ‘A Heart’s Endeavor’ in 2011.

I had a similar experience.  How long did it take you to write your current book? About six to eight months. I really should set a schedule for myself, but there are times when I don’t feel like writing and if I force myself I make too many mistakes.

My muse likes to strike when I need to be doing something else.  She's perverse that way.  So, when do you write, morning or night? It really depends on the season. I guess that sounds weird, but during Spring and Summer I love being outside. I usually don’t write much during the warmer weather. When the colder weather moves in I like the evening.

Writing outdoors in nice weather is almost a guilty pleasure for me.  Where do you write most often? I love to sit in the living room by the window. When I get stuck on a scene, I set my pc aside and watch the animals scurrying around the yard. I’m an animal lover, J

I'm an animal lover, but I'm also easily distracted.  Squirrel....  Sorry.  Do you gather inspiration from real life events, and if so, did anything specific inspire you to write your first book? I used to work as a cashier. I got to know a lot of really nice people. Some would share their problems. I guess they needed to vent and I didn’t mind listening if we weren’t busy. So many, especially women, were on medication for depression and most of them said they felt guilty because they needed a pill to help them get through the day. I wanted to let readers who also suffer with depression to know that it’s okay to take pills and that there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Depression is an insidious condition since it disguises itself as fatigue.  Very sneaky.  So, is there a message in your novel you'd like readers to grasp? Yes! Do whatever makes you happy and don’t worry about what other people think.

Good motto.  I should make a sampler with that on it.  So, how did you come up with your title? Since my heroine, Sara, was in my first book I wanted to keep the word ‘Heart’ in the title. I also have a WIP with another female character that was also in ‘A Heart’s Endeavor’. The working title for that one is ‘Heart’s Deception’.

 And that leads me to my next question.  What are your current projects? LOL, I’m bouncing back and forth between three stories right now. I’ll be busy this Winter when it’s too cold to be outside and especially when it gets dark around 4pmL

Three projects at once, very ambitious.  What genres do you write besides ‘Ménage’? My first book, ‘A Heart’s Endeavor’, is Contemporary/ Erotic and my second book, ‘Callie’s Reckoning’, is Contemporary/Domestic Discipline. Those are both m/f.

I notice you stick to the contemporary time period.  Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing? A lot of times I mess up with POV (point of view). That’s my challenge. If it hadn’t been for Pamela Tyner (Beachwalk Press) pointing that out I’d still be making the same mistake. I still mess up but not as bad. J

Now for a little personal dirt.  Tell us your best guilty pleasure (and by best I mean worst, of course.) Soft sugar cookies from the local Giant. Yum. I can’t buy them anymore because I’ll devour the entire box in one day. LOL. I have absolutely no will power when it comes to those cookies.

I'm so glad you could join us, Mary.  Before I let you go, do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers? Yes. Thank you all for buying my books and leaving such wonderful reviews. Be sure to connect with me on facebook and we’ll share a chuckle or two. J

Will the shame of her mother’s betrayal prevent Sara from having her heart’s desire?

Sara Martin spent her life longing for two things—less responsibility and the boy next door. When Cade Dalton finally noticed her, she was thrilled. But when he suggested a threesome with his brother, she knew the rumors she’d heard were true—Cade and Reese Dalton shared women, something Sara despised. Her mother had chosen a life of sordid sex with two men over her marriage, leaving a broken ten-year-old girl behind. No way was Sara going down that road. She was happy to comply with Cade’s dominant tendencies, but she would not stand for any “sharing” in the relationship.

To her surprise, Cade agreed to give up his lifestyle in order to be with her. He swore to never again bring up the idea of a threesome, insisting that having Sara as his wife—and the Head of Household arrangement they’d come to—was more than enough to make him happy.  

But six months into the marriage Sara’s brother-in-law was beginning to look mighty fine. She regretted passing on the chance to be between the two sexy Dalton brothers, but after her violent reaction to Cade’s suggestion she was too ashamed to admit she had changed her mind. And too ashamed to admit she wanted the same sordid lifestyle her mother had chosen.

Take one dominant police officer, add in a slightly spoiled socialite, toss together and savor the tangy result.

Happy Horny Hump Day!  If you've visited before, you already know this is a regular Wednesday feature on A Writer's Naughty Thoughts. In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with tiny erotic tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in our books. Just 3 sentences.  And boy is that hard to do, sometimes....

My post for this Wednesday is from my 3rd book, Arrested by Love. A spicy spanking romance published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, Kyle takes his recently engaged fiancee, Tiffany, on a secluded picnic where he plans to give the woman he adores everything she'd been attempting to seduce out of him for the past three years.  Her inexperience is a great turn on for him, but it also means he needs to take things far more slowly than his body desires.  So, when she ventures to lick his nipples, a jolt of pleasure zaps his groin and he moans as his pants grow a little too confining.  Worried, she asks if she hurt him.

             "Oh, no, sweetheart, quite the opposite in fact.  Having you touch me is very, very pleasurable, just like this," he murmured then lightly sucked on her breasts.  Her hips instantly jerked in response as she moaned, and he knew she wanted him to kiss her between her legs as he had before.

An innocent in every sense of the word, Tiffany has wanted Kyle to make love to her for years.  She's dreamed of this moment, but now that her dreams are about to come true, she's more than a little uncertain about the physicality of the act.

Sneak Peek Sunday - August 25 - Acting Lessons #SPeekSunday #Spanking #Romance

Peter loved Kate with all his being, but that didn't mean he'd tolerate an ultimatum from her.

For Sneak Peek Sunday we share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).

My submission for this week is from my 5th book, and newest release, Acting Lessons.

 He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons.  She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage.  They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse.  Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.

In this scene, which occurs early in the first chapter, Peter Thorton, seated comfortably in an agent's office, is attempting to convince his wife, Kate, to give their marriage a second chance by signing her to appear with him in a College Summer Stock production of "Kiss Me Kate."  Kate isn't sure she can trust Peter with her heart again, since she believes he's been unfaithful to her, but she's never stopped loving him.  And though Domestic Discipline originally played a part in their marriage, their last two years together had them living like polite strangers sharing the same house.  Peter realizes he made a mistake in letting Kate do as she pleased, so he's determined to rectify matters immediately.

            They'd left things undone.  She believed he'd been unfaithful, which he hadn't, but she'd never bothered to ask.  She'd just assumed.  At the time he'd been so hurt by her unspoken condemnation, he didn't have the presence of mind to examine the reasons behind her cold mandate for a divorce.  And, when he finally thought about it, he realized she'd never questioned why he was kissing another woman, because in her mind she already knew the answer.

            So, why had she concluded he'd stopped loving her?  What had changed?  And, at that moment, he understood.  He had.  She'd wanted him to reassure her of his love the way he'd demonstrated the night she'd shown up uninvited at his apartment.  Or the night he informed her they were getting married.  Instead, he'd handled her like a fragile crystal vase that might shatter if he so much as frowned.  He'd been wrong not to challenge her at the time, but he couldn't turn back the clock.  All he could do was move forward by getting her to accept his proposition.  Once he got her back, he'd begin testing his hypotheses.  Still, if his obstinate wife required proof of his intentions today, he wouldn't hesitate to oblige her.

            "No," he agreed, "it shouldn't be at all difficult for me to find another beautiful actress to play the role."  He smiled when her nostrils flared in angry response.  "However," he said softly, his gaze intent on her face, "that is not what I want.  If you refuse my offer, I shall be forced to examine those options, but I would much rather work with you.  I thought we made an excellent team."

            The charming blush he loved causing, once again bloomed across her cheeks.  But the slight lift of her chin accentuated how much thinner and sharper her features were from six months ago.  And, though her make-up was artfully applied, he could see the faint outline of dark circles forming under her eyes.  She wasn't taking proper care of herself, and her new boyfriend wasn't observant enough to insist upon it--or didn't care enough to bring Kate to heel.  Another mistake Peter intended to rectify today.

            He knew all too well how to get his Katie to eat and rest when she was being stubborn, and he would do whatever was necessary to return her to top form.  Even if it meant his darling brat of a wife went around with a sore bottom for a few days.  But first, he needed her to agree to do the show.

            "He is offering excellent terms, Kate, and it's only for three months.  Right now, I have nothing else to give you.  So, as your agent, I advise you to seriously consider his proposal."

Hmm.  Kate's not quite ready to trust her former husband again, but he can be very convincing when he chooses to be.

Saturday Spankings - August 24 - Mortal Illusions #SatSpanks #Spanking #Vampires

Show me an angry vampire, and I'll show you an unhappy mortal.

NOTE: Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop.  My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health.  This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.  

My submission for this week is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books.  Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.

When Claire Daniels discovers Germaine St. Justine is a vampire, she sets a plan in motion to convince him to cure her brother of AIDS.  Though an innocent in sexual relations, Claire is savvy enough to realize the best way to secure Germaine's support is to enter into an intimate relationship with him.  However, having a vampire take you to bed isn't quite the same as sleeping with the boy next door.  There are complications. And Germaine is dominant enough to add a few more Claire hadn't expected.

In this segment, Claire has sought Germaine out at his private night club for the first time, only to discover his club offers much more than drinks for those with and without fangs.  The day room at Illusions is equipped to administer punishments as well.  While Claire is trying to reconcile with Germaine, one of his vampires enters the club with his mate in tow and demands permission to publicly chastise her.  What no one expects, however, is for Germaine not only to agree, but call for a supporting vote from his council. When the group unanimously agrees to the punishment, Claire doesn't think, she reacts by picking up a stool and striking the punishing vampire.

             The stool struck Phillip's shoulders and bounced off, as if he were made of concrete, then crashed to the floor.

            Phillip, who barely flinched, merely spun on his heel and caught Claire by the arms.  Claire cried out in surprise rather than pain, since for all his speed and strength, Phillip's grip was amazingly gentle.

            “What the . . . Who the devil are you?” he asked, clearly stunned by Claire's unorthodox protest to the official proceeding.

            “The lady you're touching is Claire Daniels, and she's mine, so I suggest you let her go--now,” Germaine advised, his tone hinting at dire consequences should his warning go unheeded. “If you wanted to pick a woman to fight over, Phillip, you chose the wrong one.”

Claire has spunk, but throwing items at vampires who are conducting a ritualistic punishment, is not wise under any circumstances, as she is about to discover very quickly.
