Christine's upcoming release from Entangled, 'Bachelor's Special' Cover Reveal


  


Jill Adgate wants three things from life: a successful catering business, a family, and the love of an exceptional man. What she has is no job, a mounting pile of bills, and her outspoken best friend—who sets her up on a blind date with the man who inadvertently ruined Jill’s life.
Chet Castle is a businessman who has everything, except the ability to trust. Burned by a money-hungry fiancée, he refuses to get involved in any relationship that has a shelf life longer than a head of lettuce.
Intrigued by her ambition—and determined to get her in bed—Chet offers Jill the chance of a lifetime: work as his live-in chef and he’ll help her get her catering business off the ground. When sparks fly in the kitchen, Jill realizes what’s cooking is a recipe for disaster…

I'm welcoming Morticia Knight to the blog today


Erotic Romance author Morticia Knight enjoys a good saucy tale, whether it is contemporary, paranormal, historical, ménage, M/M or BDSM - she loves it all! One of her passions is bringing people's fantasies to life on the page, because life is too short for even one boring moment. Her stories are volcanic in heat, deep in emotion, and sprinkled with doses of humor.
When not indulging in her passion for books, she loves the outdoors, film and music. Once upon a time she was the singer in an indie rock band that toured the West Coast and charted on U.S. college radio. She currently resides on the northern coast of Oregon, where the constant rain and fog remind her of visits to her family in England and Scotland when she was a child.
Morticia has a three-book series called Uniform Encounters set in the Southwest that features those yummy men in uniform coming out in 2013, and is currently working on both a Steampunk horror ménage, and a Sci-fi ménage.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
 “Just How Clandestine Can a Classic Get?”
Thank you for having me here today Elodie, and oh what a tale I have to tell. Last week, my release for the Clandestine Classic line came out, and my classic is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which is now an MMF with BDSM elements. Basically, for this line of erotic romance books, Total E-Bound Publishing takes an existing classic – and without changing a word of the story - open the bedroom door (wide open!) and in that author’s voice, write what would have been severely frowned upon in that point in history. Well – people did it, but they certainly never wrote about it. Okay, maybe they wrote about it, but unless they were willing to be ostracized and live a tortured life a la the Marquis de Sade, they certainly never shared it publicly.

     I had an absolute blast writing my classic. I will admit that there was a lot of work and research involved; you can’t just ignore the little details such as what would have been a proper breakfast in the 18th century, and whether or not the word “pussy” was used as slang yet. All of that fun stuff had to be looked up and verified. But the part that was so much fun for me was writing in Irving’s voice. He had a very ironic way of viewing things, and was superfluous in his speech. There was a bit of Jonathan Swift as well in his writing.

     So I was able to take the proverbial ball and run with it – so this classic is not a somber, plodding tale, it is more of a light-hearted romp. Oh – and quite dirty. These are bawdy people who enjoy a good tumble with one, two and sometimes more at a time. Here’s a little taste with an excerpt that combines Irving with my additions.



Excerpt from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

By Washington Irving & Morticia Knight



True to his word, Ichabod swived the lass until just before the telling of the dawn, leaving her sore and well-used, and with the knowledge in one night of all of the skills of Aphrodite. He escorted her safely back to her parents’ home, and bade her a brief farewell, planning to state his suit to her father very soon. But first he must send word to Jonathan, for he knew his lover was nearing the end of his studies, and surely the joyful news of his female find would entice Jonathan to their side forthwith.

Wending his way down the path to the most recent dwelling where he was making his home, he pondered all they had discussed throughout the previous eve. Although still confident in his success against his rival, he was a prudent man, and shied from declaring definitive conclusions when there were still matters to be finalised. For whilst some may profess to know the perfect way that a woman’s heart is secured, I profess not to know how women’s hearts are wooed and won.

To me they have always been matters of riddle and admiration. Some seem to have but one vulnerable point, or door of access, while others have a thousand avenues, and may be captured in a thousand different ways. It is a great triumph of skill to gain the former, but a still greater proof of generalship to maintain possession of the latter, for man must battle for his fortress at every door and window. He who wins a thousand common hearts is therefore entitled to some renown, but he who keeps undisputed sway over the heart of a coquette is indeed a hero. Certain it is, this was not the case with the redoubtable Brom Bones, and from the moment Ichabod Crane made his advances, the interests of the former evidently declined, his horse was no longer seen tied to the palings on Sunday nights, and a deadly feud gradually arose between him and the preceptor of Sleepy Hollow.

What books have you brought along to tell us about today?

The Perfect Dom

Four kinky and erotic BDSM tales from the smutty pen of Lucy Felthouse.

Balancing the Books
Philip’s a well off man, and doesn’t need a job. But when he sees the gorgeous owner of his local bookshop, he applies for the role that’s being advertised there immediately. He’s totally stricken by the stunning Giovanna, and when it turns out she wants to boss him around in a sexual sense as well as an employment sense, he has no intention of refusing.

Feeling the Heat
Taylor and Maisie’s car has broken down. Luckily, Taylor’s handy with engines and is working hard to get them back on the road. Unfortunately, Maisie is getting annoyed at the amount of time he’s spending in the garage and confronts him. Instead of arguing back, though, Taylor comes up with an ingenious plan to keep Maisie quiet.

The Perfect Dom
Part of Mia’s nightwear is a pair of hotpants with SPANK ME emblazoned across the arse. Normally, that wouldn’t be a problem, but when she forgets that she has a houseguest and heads to the kitchen for a drink, she’s shocked to find Alex in her living room. Immediately spotting what he sees as an invitation written across Mia’s bottom, Alex makes an offer and Mia soon discovers that he is, in fact, the perfect dom.

Meet Me at the Spanish Steps
Darby is working at a holiday camp on the outskirts of Rome and is getting along just fine, with the exception of her sex life. For various reasons, she’s not getting what she wants in the bedroom, and her tastes are very particular. She turns to the Internet to get what she needs, and when she discovers William, it seems that he’s more than willing—and capable—of scratching that particular itch.

The Military Wife

Three hot and romantic military tales from the pen of uniform aficionado, Lucy Felthouse.

The Military Wife
Tess’ salacious fantasies about her husband, Aidan, see her through the long periods of time when she doesn’t see him—when he’s away on tour with the Army. The rest of the time, she has to deal with day to day life alone. One day, a dull chore is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of her husband, and things quickly hot up in their kitchen, and beyond.

Passing Out Passion
When Christina attends her brother’s passing out parade with her parents, she’s full of pride at his achievement. What she’s not expecting, though, is to bump into old flame Phil Ashdown. They didn’t part on good terms and the atmosphere between them is awkward. But when they’re forced into conversation, it turns out that all those years ago, there was a misunderstanding. One that can very easily be put right.

Double Vision
Becky’s a military wife with a uniform fetish. She loves nothing more than having fun in the bedroom with her squaddie husband, where they share and act out many of their fantasies. However, there’s one fantasy that she’s never divulged, as it breaks their rule about bring other people into their sex life. One day, though, Becky decides to bite the bullet and tell Paul everything. She never expects him to make her fantasy come true. But then, Paul’s a very resourceful man.

Smut by the Sea Volume 2

Light hearted, sexy fun by the sea is the theme of this erotic anthology, edited by Victoria Blisse and Lucy Felthouse.

From the sun soaked beaches of Brazil to the altogether cooler coastal towns of England, Smut by the Sea Volume 2 has it all. Whatever your interpretation of naughty seaside fun, there’s something nestling between the covers for you. Amusement arcades, beach houses, mermaids, honeymooners, shipwrecks, sex toys and more abound in this exciting collection of stories from erotica’s finest authors.

Contains stories from Victoria Blisse, Tilly Hunter, Rachel Randall, Giselle Renarde, Tamsin Flowers, Lucy Felthouse, Kate Britton, Jillian Boyd, Bel Anderson, Cass Peterson, Delyth Angharad, T C Mill, Erzabet Bishop, Tenille Brown and Annabeth Leong.

Are you working on another book right now?

Yes, I’m currently working on an m/m erotic romance novella. I’m writing furiously to get it finished for the deadline! I’m not saying much more in case it’s not accepted by the publisher I’m going to send it to.

What do you enjoy most about writing?

The actual writing part is great, when you have a good writing day and see the words racking up, the characters developing and the story coming together. It’s a great feeling.

What do you like the least?

Editing. I don’t mind editing other people’s work, but I don’t like doing my own!

Would you like to see any of your books as movies?

Oh, definitely. Who wouldn’t?!

Can you name any actors you would like to see as the lead characters in your book.

I have a novel currently out on submission (fingers crossed for me!), a ménage erotic romance called Stately Pleasures. I’d have the two male leads played by Jeremy Renner and Jared Padalecki. The heroine is a curvy chick and I haven’t yet thought of anyone to play her, so any suggestions are welcome!

What things do you like to do to relax?

Relax? What’s that? Hehe. I read, watch TV and films, play with my dog, go out walking and explore the countryside, and so on.

Do you have another job as well as writing?

Yes. My “day job” is running my business, Writer Marketing Services (http://www.writermarketing.co.uk) – I have to make that my priority as it pays the bills, and I squeeze the writing in around it. But I’m lucky in that I can shift my schedule around so I can have larger chunks of time to write, as I work better that way than five minutes here or there.

If you could have one super power in your existence, what would it be?

Invisibility, definitely. Imagine how much fun I could have, how much inspiration I could get for my stories!

If money were not an object, where would you most like to live?

The Peak District, in Derbyshire. I’d build a house from scratch with an enormous library, cinema room, etc. Though of course if money was no object, I could have properties all over the world… ;)

What kind of car would you have if money was no object?

Ha, I’m really modest in this respect. I’d have a brand new Ford Fiesta, top of the range, in Hot Magenta.

What’s your favorite food?

Chocolate!

Favorite color?

Purple.

Can you think of a song or piece of music that could be your theme tune?

Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys. I want it played at my funeral!


Just answer these questions as quickly as possible.


Chocolate or vanilla?----- chocolate

Dog or cat?---- dog

The film or the book?----- the book


Jeans or dress?  Jeans

Beach or Snow resort? Beach

Heels or flats? Flats

What do you love best about yourself? My sense of humour

What do you like least? My stomach


Do you have anything to share with other authors that might be a help?

Read lots in your chosen genre. Don’t try to copy it, but it will give you an idea of what’s being published and what sort of quality is out there.

Is there anything you would like to say to your readers?

Thank you so much for your support, it means a great deal. I’m working hard to get more books out there for you to (hopefully) enjoy, so I hope you’ll buy them all!

Can you share one of your favorite parts of one of the books?

Here’s an excerpt from my story The Perfect Dom from the anthology of the same name.

“Spank me. Is that an invitation?”

Shit. Mia had completely forgotten about him. Her flatmate, Katy, had asked if it was okay if her brother could stay on their sofa for a couple of nights. His own place was being fitted with a new bathroom and conditions over there weren’t exactly tantamount to hygiene. Mia had been rushing around in order to get to work and hadn’t really been paying attention, so she’d just agreed and then promptly forgotten.

Now, however, she was being treated to a huge and incredibly embarrassing reminder. Katy was on a nightshift at the hospital so when Mia had woken up at 9p.m.—her own body clock being on that of working in the club, though tonight was her night off—she’d deemed it safe to wander to the kitchen to get a drink in what she was wearing.
Big mistake. Alex was sitting on the sofa, an eyebrow quirked and a leering grin on his face. He held his iPad, and earphones hung around his neck. He’d obviously been watching a film or playing some ridiculous game before Mia had flipped the light on and sauntered through the living room in nothing but a skimpy vest and hotpants. The hotpants were, of course, what he was referring to. The fuchsia garment had SPANK ME emblazoned across the ass in large black lettering.

Mia gave Alex a look that would have turned a lesser man to stone. He, however, simply grinned even more widely, then said, “Well? Do you need a firm hand to that luscious butt of yours? Like a spanking, do you?”

Mia sighed. “Shut up, Alex. It’s none of your business. I’m just getting a drink. Get back to your damn gadget and leave me alone.”

“Oooh, someone’s defensive. I’m just saying, you must have them for a reason. A statement like that printed on your backside would definitely be construed as an invitation in my book.”

“Well, maybe it is an invitation, Alex. But it’s certainly not directed at you. Now if you’d kindly stop passing judgement on my non-existent sex life I’ll get my drink and get out of your way.”
