What inspired you to write your book?
I was inspired to write Forever and for Always because I believe in soulmates and magic – and the heroine wouldn’t shut up until I got it all down on paper. I enjoy reading about love, snarky heroines, their fiercely protective friends and the men who are brave enough to love them…not to mention toe curling-ly hot love scenes, so that’s also what I enjoy writing, too.
Here is a short sample from the book:
The Prediction
“Hi, I’m Jenny.”
“Roxie,” she smiled and held out her hand.
“Roxie is a witch!” Sue said, smiling broadly.
“Really? Wow. I’ve never met a witch before,” Jenny extended her hand, but quickly jerked back as a current of electricity spiked between their fingers. “Ouch, what the hell?”
“Sorry about that. My abilities are sometimes unexpectedly powerful. I barely brushed your fingertips. Are you okay?”
“Just a little singed.” She eyed the other girl, cautiously curious, “I guess I shouldn’t have doubted. Even silently. Wow, a real witch, huh?”
“I prefer magically inclined, actually,” Roxie said, straightening the sleeve of her sparkling purple kaftan, “You say you’re a witch and people either give you the stink eye, or cross themselves like you said you’re Satan’s sister. It’s very disconcerting.”
“I imagine it would be.” Jenny nodded, cradling her hand against her chest, “What, exactly, does a magically inclined person do?”
“It depends on the person, I guess. My sister and brother are total opposites. She has an affinity to hearth magic…nature and herbs and stuff like that. He works with spirits. Demon? Evil spirits? Ghost problem? Remus will fix you up, fast.”
“Your brother?” Jenny asked, “Guys can be wi—um, magically inclined, too? I thought they were called warlocks.”
“No.” Roxie pursed her lips, scowling, “That’s actually considered an insult. It’s popular in geek games, like D & D… but in real life, it can get a hex put on your head.”
“Oh! Sorry.”
“That’s okay. I was just kidding about the hex. Kind of. It’s actually more of a pox.”
“Oh.” Jenny studied her, curious, “And you? What do you have an affinity with?”
“Love. Soul mates. Anything that pertains to matters of the heart, actually.”
“Really?”
“Yep. Ever since I was tiny. At my house, animals mated for life. I started with the neighborhood dogs and cats. Then, when I hit puberty, I accidentally paired up my next door neighbor, Mrs. Belclay, and the pool boy, Nigel. Since she was forty and he was barely eighteen, it caused quite a stir…but they’re still going strong today.”

Seven Kisses: A Beauty and the Beast Dark Romance by Giselle Renarde
My name is Gabrielle, but Madame de Villeneuve thinks I’m a girl called Suzanne. Nobody believes I’m really who I say I am. I guess I’m partly to blame. After all, I did sign a stranger’s name to my committal forms when I entered this rehabilitation centre. I’m not actually addicted to anything—not sex, not drugs, not even rock and roll.
So what’s kept me here? It’s a long story, and you probably wouldn’t believe it even if I told you—especially the part about the monkey butlers. How does an innocent young woman end up bound to a hospital bed in the bowels of a Victorian manor house? I’ll tell you if you really want to know… but I’m not sure you do.
This is a story about seven kisses: some forceful, some sweet, and every one impossible to forget. Seven kisses that started with my stay at Loindici Manor. Seven kisses that would change my life forever.

GABRIELLA by ALAN HARDY @AlanWilliamHard
The novel deals with the theme of a young man’s sexual awakening. The male hero is Jim Collier, sixteen, shy and virginal. The female hero is Gabriella Blenkinsop, eighteen, experienced, beautiful.
The setting is the annual cricket match between St Swithins Boys School and the local grammar school shits. Gabriella is the Head Girl of St Swithins Girls School; her boyfriend is Algy, Head Boy of the Boys’ School. Jim is one of the opening bowlers for the grammar school shits.
Gabriella is an arrogant, upper-class bit of hot totty. She wants to see the lower-class grammar school shits taught their customary annual lesson. St Swithins have merely to knock off eighty-odd runs to win the match. It should be easy.
Gabriella is discomfited by young Jim; usually so cool and self-confident, she feels and becomes clumsy and awkward before him. She is determined to see him, and his whole race and class, humiliated.
Jim has developed two particular types of delivery in his fast bowling; he bowls like a devil and begins working his way through the line-up of upper-class wallies, to the fury of Gabriella.
We also meet Jim’s parents, his dad obsessed with football and his mum forever reading celebrity magazines, and Gabriella’s parents, two upper-class decadents making their ravenous way through the supply of working-class sexual fodder rounded up for them by their man, Chivers.
Gabriella gets her daddy to change the rules so that she can go in to bat and save St Swithins from the vicious succession of balls sent down by the low-born shit. She gets padded up in all her physical glory.
There then follows the contest between Gabriella and Jim, he, with a mixture of different balls and probing deliveries, attempting to break through her defences and she, determined and rock-like, trying to block him out. The game of cricket, the hard red ball, the long-handled bat, and so on, becomes the arena for the sexual tussle between the two principal characters. It becomes an extended metaphor for the game of love, and all its intricacies, and also for the sexual act, from foreplay to actual fulfilment. It is also the arena for the growing realisation on the parts of both Gabriella and Jim that they are madly in love with each other; their hate for each other, whether class-based or personal, is an expression not just of the sexual tension between them, but also, eventually, of their love for each other.
We meet other characters throughout the afternoon and evening, amongst others, the third-former Mary Collier, Jim’s sister, who has a crush on Gabriella, and whom Gabriella later realises is the child of her own father, Lord Blenkinsop, and therefore her own half-sister, and Fanny, a former acquaintance of Jim’s, who becomes a rival for Jim’s affections just when Gabriella thinks she has ensnared him. At the same stage, when Jim has to decide which girl he wants, the truth concerning Gabriella’s parentage is revealed to us (Chivers is her father), and helps Jim in his choice.
Their sexual sparring, on and off the pitch, entails various activities with ball and bat. Jim writes poems about Gabriella in between overs, Gabriella taunts him with her provocative dress and behaviour, and strange things occur with the hard red ball which, at times, smashes into Gabriella’s body or gets rubbed frenetically near Jim’s cock. Jim hits her with such a succession of venomous rearing balls that she is slowly divested of articles of clothing, and their love-hate affair culminates in a final over of frenzied bowling and batting which mirrors the sexual act of penetration and annihilation itself.
This is a sexual comedy, where the game of cricket, and who will be the winner or loser, is used as an image of love-making, romantic attachment and sexual intercourse. It is, ultimately, a love-story between two characters from opposite ends of the social stratum, a young innocent man’s first experience of sex and a young very experienced woman’s first experience of love. The ending is happy (or so, at least, it seems).

Deathless Love by Renee Rose @ReneeRoseAuthor

In his mind, he can never be the man she needs, and the best thing he can do for her is to stay far away. But when a powerful vampire targets Dom, Kate gets tangled in the dangerous web and Dom finds himself prepared to sacrifice his own life to save hers. Can he get her back alive? If so, will they find a way to be together?
Renee Rose is an author of erotic romance. She received a Bachelor’s of Arts in Creative Writing from Knox College, where she was trained to write poetry and literary fiction and was the recipient of the Lorraine Smith prize for short fiction.
Upon graduation, she took a gig writing instruction manuals (yawn!) and sales and marketing copy for an engineering firm. After thirteen years numbing her mind and allowing her creative juices to evaporate, she read her first romance novel and was hooked.
Because she believes no romance is complete without spanking, she is thrilled to be incorporating her fantasies into fiction, publishing soft core spanking romances with Stormy Night Publications and Blushing Books. She lives in the southwest with her husband and young children.
I love vampires and I love spankings, so what better to do than combine them?
Marie’s Pledge: The Before Book 1 by Jacy Sage
I needed a getaway- it was just supposed to be a hike in the Smoky Mountains. I didn’t plan on discovering the old lady, with the gifts, waiting for me. I thought I was level-headed, grounded, and even serious. I would think the excursion through a world of dreams I never imagined existed was just that- a dream. But here I stand, with a crystal heart in my hand, wondering if I can possibly fulfill the promise I made that day on the mountain.
