Blog Hop winner and news

Good morning all. The sun is streaming in through my curtains, the kids are screeching, and I am sitting here, desperately trying to wake up.

It's the summer hols and my lovely brood is in full, fighting form. The first week is always the most trying, as they all adjust to each other being home.


United Nations Peace keeping has nothing on me! Hence I'm nursing the coffee, cause late nights is the only time for me to get anything done, that requires concentration, let alone peace and quiet...

Gotta love school holidays!

So, forgive me for being slightly late in announcing the winner of the BDSM unleashed blog hop, which is...

Christine :-)

(chosen with the help of random.org)


Hope you enjoy my tigers!

In other news I am incredibly excited to be able to announce that my debut novel Lure Of the Blood   is now available in print!



*dances*

You can purchase it here and I'm told it will be available through Amazon within a week. I must admit I can't wait to hold an actual physical copy of my book in my hands. A dream come true.

My other bit of news is that I'm in the process of re-writing book three of the Giovanni, which has involved scrapping 20 K of work. Painful? You bet, but it wasn't working the way it was going, and hence it had ground to a halt. I'm feeling quite positive about the changes I'm envisaging, though I get the impression this will be a slow process. Not helped by the school hols. You do not want to know how long it took me to just write this simple blog post.

*headdesk*

And with that I best wade back into the warring masses. You would simply not believe what they can argue about! It's quite an art form, I tell you.

Have a great week, folks, and enjoy the sunshine, if you have some. It's gloriously hot here in the UK for a change.

BDSM Unleashed Giveaway Hop

                                                                   
The BDSM Unleashed Giveaway Hop runs from July 14th -21st. Hosted by the BDSM Authors blog this blog hop brings together readers and authors of the Genre.

I am very excited to be part of this, as some of my favourite authors are in this hop, and I hope some of you will stay and check out my little contribution below! The Playroom Authors are kicking things off by posting about their love of the genre and comments on the Playroom blog posts will count as entries to the Grand Prizes to be won.

In  my little corner of the hop I'd like to share my Club Ink series with you - a series I never intended to write.The original idea was sparked by an Anthology call, Keyboards and Kink, and it was supposed to have been a simple D/S shorty. However, as is so often the case with me, my characters decided otherwise. My hero announced that he was the owner of a Shifter BDSM club, called Club Ink, interesting second characters popped up all over the place, and the series was born.


Can one night change your life forever? 

Estelle has been lusting after her kinky boss Nathan for ages, but how you do you snare a much older Dom? You enlist the help of the internet.

Matched to exploration facilitator Ink, Estelle explores her submissive fantasies to the full. When online sex turns to a real life ménage will a case of mistaken identity ruin her chances with Nathan?

Or will the shifter claim his mate?




Book 2, Tiger Scars, released this week, and we delve deeper into the  lives of Ink and Cherie.




Can some scars ever truly heal?

Cherie ran away from Ink once. She is not going to get the chance to do so again, but helping her heal will take all of his skills as a Dom. Using Shibari, Knife play, and Ménage sex, he shows her that pleasure can be found in the things that haunt her.

Emotionally and physically scarred Cherie has sought refuge at Club Ink, where she keeps everyone at arm's length. When Ink forces her to face up to her demons, does her submission hold the key to her future happiness? Or will their shared past destroy them once and for all?


EXCERPT

You're safe. You're not there. No one touches Ink's girl. You're safe.
She murmured the words to herself over and over, forcing her feet to move, one agonizingly slow step at the time. A woman's low drawn out moan of pleasure stopped her in her tracks, and she dared a glance towards the stage. The tiny Japanese girl hung expertly tied from the ceiling, her legs spread wide, her dripping wet cunt glistening in the stage lighting. Her moans grew more urgent, as the guest Dom drew his flogger through her wet pussy lips repeatedly, teasing her hugely extended clitoris. Every time she came too close he withdrew. As Cherie watched in helpless fascination, he inserted a tiny egg shaped vibrator deep inside the woman's vagina. She moaned and bucked against her restraints when he turned on the remote, her breath coming in short gasps of intense pleasure, her face wreathed in ecstasy.
Ink stood to one side watching the proceedings through hooded eyes, his arms crossed over his chest, and as though he sensed Cherie's gaze on him, he turned his head to look at her. The approval shimmering in his warm chestnut gaze heated Cherie's frozen skin. Even the sight of three more women tied up and waiting in the two cages onstage couldn't break the invisible line of connection between them. He nodded to the stage right, and Cherie obeyed immediately. Keeping her eyes on the floor she negotiated the crowd of people and slid into the vacant chair next to Estelle with a sigh of relief. Estelle reached across and squeezed her hand, and Cherie grabbed hold of the life-line. This close to the stage the smell of sex and sweat was overpowering. Her heightened shifter senses picked up everything even without the aid of her eyes, which she kept firmly on the floor. Unwilling arousal trickled down her spine with the beads of sweat, and she jumped when Nathan's large hand gently but firmly uncurled the death grip she still had on Estelle's hand. She murmured an apology at the raised welts her death grip had caused on the other woman's skin and flinched when one of the ropes used on stage narrowly missed her face.
Grisha was next to her in an instant, throwing the length of rope back onto the stage with a muttered curse. Despite the fear gnawing a hole in her gut Cherie had to smile.
"He'll fucking kill me if any of that stuff touches you. Do us both a favor and scoot your chair back a bit, sweetheart."
He flashed a worried looking smile her way, and Cherie grabbed hold of the arm rests when he simply picked her up chair and all and moved her several feet backward. Nathan did the same to Estelle's, and Cherie had to suppress a laugh at her murmured, "Men, any excuse to show off their muscles."
Grisha resumed his silent vigil behind Cherie, and she did her best to try to enjoy the spectacle in front of her, all too aware of Grisha's gaze burning a hole in her back and Ink's sheer strength of will pinning her to the chair. By the time the performance was over and the girls after-care had been properly taken care of, she was a quivering mass of pure need. She couldn't even remember the last time she had been this turned on without anyone actually touching her, and if the various couplings going on around her were anything to go by, the rest of the audience were just as affected. Estelle had progressed to sitting at Nathan's feet, his huge cock tunneling in and out of her mouth, his fingers buried deep inside her open jeans, seemingly oblivious to the fact that anyone could see. Estelle had certainly come a long way since the first time Cherie had served her at the bar, all concerned for the young woman's safety, and Estelle's order of a Black Russian had spirited her right into a ménage with Grisha and Ink. A ménage which ultimately sent her on the path of true submission and into Nathan's loving arms.
Cherie risked a glance at Grisha's profile. Jaws tightly clenched he kept his eyes firmly fixed on a spot at the ceiling, looking anywhere but the spectacle in front of him. She could hear him grind his teeth, and he balled his hands into white knuckled fists as Nathan roared his release and Estelle panted her own orgasm at Nathan's gruff permission. He pulled Estelle on his lap, and the tender kiss they shared had Cherie's eyes fill with fresh tears. Grisha swore softly and not for the first time Cherie wondered whether the forbidding Russian didn't have more than just a soft spot for Nathan's wife.
She scented Ink seconds before his large hand caressed her shoulder.
"You did so very well, baby girl. I'm very proud of you. Now let's get you out of here, before my brother re-arranges that Russian's face."
He released her shoulder and held his hand out, a silent question in the amber depths of his eyes. Cherie put her hand in his, ignoring the frantic beating of her heart. She could do this; she had to. The flash of triumph in his eyes raised her anxiety levels to alarming levels, and he pulled her up to a stand with a small smile. His nostrils flared, and heat rose in Cherie's cheeks when he trailed a finger over her breasts. He swirled it around the hardening peaks of her nipples, over her tummy, and down the side of her hips. He pulled her skirt up and trailed a path of heat up her inner thighs. She spread her legs automatically to give him better access, and his smile deepened at her gasp, when he reached her sodden knickers. He pushed a finger inside her, slowly withdrawing it, and then offered it to her to taste.
Transfixed by the quiet command in his eyes, she took the digit deep inside her mouth and sucked, tasting herself with the unique scent that was all Ink.
"Good girl. Now, let's take this to my dungeon."

Have I got you intrigued? Cherie and Ink have quite a back story, which proved rather challenging to me as a writer, but Ink wouldn't let me rest until I did. It was also great fun to write and I'm looking forward to delving back into Club Ink with Grisha's story. He has been growling at me ever since book 1, so I reckon he'll soon have me chained to the keyboard again.

*grin*

As part of the hop I am giving away one set of my series. All you have to do is leave a comment to be in with a chance to win the PDF copies.

And don't forget about the grand prices to be won on The Playroom blog




 So, comment and then hop, hop, hop away, as there are lots of goodies to be won, and other authors to be met.

A list of all the participating authors is below. Thanks for stopping by!

The morning after...

As you all know it was release day yesterday and I am feeling the after effects today. And no, I didn't overindulge on the bubbly, more's the pity.




I was too excited to sleep and I had errands to run and teenage traumas to deal with, including hubby on the war path at almost midnight - fun, fun, fun - not! Just in case you think I spent yesterday floating on the ceiling. Well, I did, but I had to keep coming back down to deal with this annoying thing called real life.

Anyhooo, this is just a quick post to say, thank you all for making yesterday special. I received some truly lovely comments that made me sniff a little.

I hope you all enjoy the latest instalment of the Tigers. Grisha has been growling louder than ever, so I guess he'll soon have me chained to the keyboard. And a little insider sneak now...

pssst, don't tell everyone, but, remember Estelle's outrageous friend from Riding Her Tiger, Neeve? Yep, she is the one to snare our Grisha, or should that be the other way round.  You see in my head she has just called this whole collaring thing complete and utter tosh, under her breath, but ya know they're shifters, they heard her...

Silly, silly, girl!

I actually started this post to announce my winners  and got sidetracked, as usual, so without further ado.

From Elizabeth Morgan's blog :  Dariel Raye

And yesterday's release day winner is: Faith Thomas



There will be more chances to win as I am hopping over the net for a few days, and I am also taking part in the  BDSM Unleashed Blog Hop, which runs from July 14th  - 21st. Am really looking forward to that one!


Click on the image for details. Some fabulous prices to be won and authors to meet. Some of my favourite authors in the genre are part of this hop. Exciting stuff to be part of!

Right, I have rambled on enough. Best go and chase Budda, as he is turning my living room upside down and  tell me... Why does he make a beeline for the muddiest, smelliest teenage boy's shoes and tries to eat them? Really?

Have a great week :-)
