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.”

Sunspots by Karen S. Bell @KarenSueBell
Sunspots follows the healing journey of a young woman thrown into the horror of losing a spouse. It is a story of loss and redemption and the ghosts that haunt our lives and our houses. A love story, a romance, and a mystery of sorts, Sunspots, is above all an exploration into the psyche and emotional arc of the MC and it follows no formula.
Snapshot:
“One can never be, and should never be, smug about life,” says Aurora Goldberg. An aspiring New York actress who has never realized her dreams, Aurora keeps herself afloat by doing odd temp jobs where her rich fantasy life helps her get through the day. Aurora sees the world through the lens of characters in literature and film and these fictionalizations are woven into her interpretation of reality. On one of her temp assignments she meets Jake Stein, a man who could “charm the skin off a snake” and she decides to follow her destiny as his wife in Austin, Texas. But Jake’s sudden death after two short years disintegrates her world and Aurora must reevaluate her life and let go of a love that has become an obsession.
Sunspots takes the reader on a journey of high emotion as Aurora uncovers Jake’s secret life and her own internal conflicts as she matures to self-awareness. Narrated by Aurora, the novel’s tone vacillates from irreverent humor to solemnity as she relates her previous life with Jake and her present challenges. The title refers to the solar maximum which became the backdrop for Aurora’s conception when her hippy parents went to Canada to observe the Aurora Borealis. In name and in spirit, Aurora is connected to the observable and unobservable energy around us.
With the help of friends, family, and the ghost of Viola Parker (her home’s original owner), Aurora accepts her fate and the secrets revealed about Jake’s true character. She realizes that in this life she will finally break the cycle of pain caused by her love for this man, Jake Stein, through the centuries.
Embedded in the novel is the question of the afterlife and paranormal events abound. The incidents are left vague enough so the reader is not certain if they are external events witnessed by Aurora or exist only in her own mind. My approach to the extraordinary has always been with keen interest and skepticism. Just as we cannot see unaided that at the quantum level solid objects consist of vast spaces and swirling particles, so too, we define our human existence with only our limited five senses, three dimensional orientation, and our perceived space/time continuum. So then, what can one say with any certainty is reality?
The Erotic Tales of Bucephalus by Christopher of Detroit
SPIRITUAL ODYSSEY, TABOO SEX, & DREAM MAGIC!
What does it mean to be human?
“The Erotic Tales of Bucephalus” tells the story of a beast who experiences sexuality through a man’s body inside a spectral hotel lost in time. Alexander the Great’s mighty steed, Bucephalus, dies in battle near the River Hydaspes within the Persian Empire. Banners gambol on the horizon and witches drink the blood of the dead, smearing gore upon their naked bodies, as the warhorse’s vision fades into death.
In an eerie hotel room, Bucephalus awakens in a human body with an insatiable sex drive. From the shadows, a phantasm appears with wings sprouting from a nebulous head and a shimmering body of starless fire. Morpheus, the deliverer of dreams, sends Bucephalus on an erotic journey through a time-shifting netherworld with each dream offering sexual transgressions both sensual yet depraved.
Haunted by an elusive room-hopping nymph, Bucephalus struggles with his beastly nature by indulging in licentious encounters with the hotel’s occupants: an unnamed pythoness who adores oral copulation, three masked lesbians in a voyeuristic sex party, two alluring sirens wielding straight razors and shibari knots, a macabre priestess gang-banged by loyal sycophants, and an unforgiving dominatrix’s Arab strap training day.
From a decadent orgy in a sixteenth-century Italian ballroom to an evocative sex-magic ritual in the jungles of Siam, Bucephalus explores the limits of eroticism, diving into a turbulent world of sexual corruption and self-reflection. Wives Cheating, Husbands Watching Vol.3 by Gustav Jorgenson
These are stories about loving couples who are seeking out that transgressive spark to reignite the desire between them. The women do this by granting strange men access to their sexuality, which is normally reserved for their husband or boyfriend. They are breaking the rules and bringing novelty and mystery back into their stable, predictable relationships. They are shaking things up and renewing themselves as objects of desire.
The first section is about dominant women who are confidently journeying into unexplored erotic territory with new men. The second section is about women who are pursued and submit to the aggression of other men, recognizing that their misconduct will help their own husband or boyfriend see them with new eyes. The third section is comprised of some older, shorter pieces that are punchier and jump right into the action.
Some of the fantasies explored in this collection include:
– A woman strips for her boyfriend's buddies, demanding that they honestly rate her body.
– A wife goes back into the bar to perform oral favors for a jerk who just fought with her husband.
– A husband comes home late from work to find his wife drinking with his friends, dressed only in her skimpy lingerie.
– An aggressive man talks a couple he just met in a coffee shop into letting the wife come back to his studio to sit for a nude portrait.
– A rough jock crashes a geeky board game party and takes liberties with the giggling, bespectacled wife of a nervous nerd.
