Welcome to the Black Friday Blog Hop!

Are you all shopped out? Have you already checked everyone off your list? Or maybe you refuse to shop until the final weekend before Christmas, just to make sure you’re properly frazzled come Christmas Day?

No matter why you’re here, I’m glad you are, and I’m giving away your choice of Safeword: Matte, or either of the two Davenport books. Or, If you’ve read all of my books and are looking forward to Safeword: Quinacridone when it’s finally available, I’ll send it once I have the final version.

Check back here next week, as I hope to be able to reveal the cover and blurb for Safeword: Quinacridone in the very near future. (And see below, for a quick excerpt.)

 

 

There are three ways to enter to win your choice of the four books. Do all three and you’ll be entered three times, or do one and you’re entered once:

1. Follow me on Facebook and let me know about it (email, comment, or FB message)
2. Follow me on Twitter and let me know about it (email, comment, or Twitter me)
3. Comment below.

If you’re already following me on Facebook or Twitter let me know who you are, and I’ll count it.

I feel I should warn these aren’t beginner BDSM books. Everything is consensual, but the power exchange goes deep — my masochists enjoy real pain, and my sadists enjoy dishing it out. If you’re only interested in a little slap and tickle, these might be a bit much.

To read a blurb and excerpt, just click the image and you’ll be taken to the book’s page.

You must be 18 or older to enter. Make sure you leave your email address in the comments. Good luck to all who enter!

Because I’m so excited about Safeword: Quinacridone, here’s an (unedited) excerpt, to introduce you to Travis and Cara:

Welcome to Masquerade Moonlight Giveaway Hop!

I write BDSM Romance, and the lifestyle uses a variety of masks and hoods, but they aren’t used for trick-or-treating. On second thought, the submissive is often treated to the sensation of floggers or canes or paddles… so perhaps they are, in a twisted sort of way.

In Safeword: Davenport the first time we see a mask, it’s a diving mask used in the pool for a lengthy sensory deprivation scene. The second time, the anchors of a leather mask are used to hold Dana’s head and face out of the way while her breasts and back are flogged at the same time by two Doms, each wielding two floggers.

Here’s a short excerpt of the second:

Her focus shifted to the hood in Max’s hands and she shook her head, not able to get the words out for the adrenaline spiking through her veins.

“Hear me out; if you don’t want it we’ll do something else.” His hands splayed it open. “It’s not a traditional full face hood, there’s one large hole for the nose and mouth, see? It fastens under your chin, and will fit snug across the back of your head.”

He rotated it. “I can use these four attachment points to secure it to the poles, to keep you looking forward. There are holes for your eyes and ears — this isn’t about sensory dep; I need to ensure your head stays away from the floggers. I have a posture collar we can use instead, but I’m told this is more comfortable.”

“Can you put it on me and let me decide? I know what a posture collar feels like; let me see how this compares.”

He nodded and worked it onto her head, careful to keep her hair smoothed back. It didn’t close her off from the room, and made her feel secure in its bondage without being claustrophobic.

Max looked at her, a question in his gaze and she let him know it was okay. When he finished tying it off to the poles, she couldn’t turn her head from side to side, but Jacob was at about two o’clock in her vision and she could see him by shifting her eyes. He was still straining to hold himself up by his arms, struggling to keep his weight off the phallus. Dana wondered if Zach would want to mount her on a statue, let her be his own dramatic art piece.

The first strike of the flogger landed on her right shoulder blade as the thought went through her mind, chasing it away.

The excerpt picks up here, about halfway down the page, if you’d like to keep going.

I’ll give away the winners choice of an ebook of either Safeword: Davenport or Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon on Thursday, November 1st.

There are three ways to enter for the Davenport giveaway. Do all three and you’ll be entered three times, or do one and you’re entered once:

1. Follow me on Facebook and let me know about it (email, comment, or FB message)
2. Follow me on Twitter and let me know about it (email, comment, or Twitter me)
3. Comment below.

If you’re already following me on Facebook or Twitter let me know who you are, and I’ll count it.

I feel I should warn these aren’t beginner BDSM books. Everything is consensual, but it’s real pain, and about as close as one can get to total surrender while sustaining a career. If you’re only interested in a little slap and tickle, these might be a bit much.

Here’s the blurb for Safeword: Davenport

Dana has never submitted to anyone but her husband — he trained her, taught her to submit. He’s been dead a year and a half though, and she’s beginning to consider the possibility of dating again. She sticks to vanilla at first, but quickly realizes she’s going to need more. As she’s considering the idea of finding someone who would enjoy hurting her without requiring her submission, her life is complicated by a Dom who pushes all of her buttons.

Safeword: Davenport is the first half of Dana’s story, it’s the personal part of her journey, and has a Happy for Now ending. Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon tells the rest of her story and gives us her Happily Ever After.

Warning: This title contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, bondage, intense sensory deprivation, extreme electrical play, enemas, and the use of toys including clamps, canes, plugs, cages, paddles, whips, and floggers.

Here’s the blurb for Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon

Dana is ready to submit to Zach, but she’s going to be surprised by the depth of her submission. She’s comfortable Dominating Jacob, but how will the four of them form a unit?

Zach thought he’d worked through his issues, and he was patient with Dana as she worked through hers, but a painful reminder of the past makes him question whether he can accept Dana’s submission. Will he be able to handle being completely vulnerable once again?

Welcome to the Wicked After Dark Halloween Bloghop!

We’re supposed to give away something wicked for this blog hop, and I’d have to say a Dom who uses a stainless steel cane exclusively for punishment would qualify.

Don’t get me wrong, Ethan has a sweet side, and he’s the ultimate Caretaker Dom — but when he’s in a scene he doesn’t mess around with punishments. Some submissives might be relieved to be let out of a punishment, but the type of woman Ethan prefers would be disappointed if he skimped on a punishment, so it all works out.

Here’s a very short blurb of Sam’s first punishment from Ethan. It’s also their first scene together, and she’s on a verbal restriction allowing her to make all the noise she wants as long as there are no words. She messes up and says something mid-orgasm, and has a stroke of the stainless cane coming:

He raised his eyebrows and relaxed them. “You didn’t know you talked? Well, seeing as how it was a rather intense orgasm, I’m inclined to just call it one stroke. You need to know I’m serious about punishments, but you also need to know I can be flexible if the situation warrants it. So, one stroke it is. No need to signal red when I’m done, I’ll be stopping at one whether you flash red or not. It’s going to be more than you think you can take. Punishments are like that, yes? You’d be disappointed if it weren’t.”

Sam wasn’t sure how she felt about the no-talking thing. The loss of words was much bigger than she thought it’d be when she agreed.

Ethan stood and took his shirt off, folding it and placing it beside her clothes before retrieving the black PVC pipe. He pulled the cane from the black pipe and walked behind her without fanfare.

The mirror allowed her to see him raise the stainless cane — such a beautiful instrument, reflected in the mirror like a wand of light emanating from his fist instead of a solid piece of steel. She could tell he wasn’t using a lot of strength as it descended towards her ass, which was why she was so shocked at the level of pain hitting her brain when the signal finally managed to get there. If she’d sounded like a wounded animal before, it’d been an injured rabbit. She sounded like a bear now, a grizzly bear with a fatal wound, and she couldn’t stop the noises coming out of her mouth. She desperately wanted him to rub her ass, but was terrified it would only hurt worse. When she next opened her eyes he was squatting in front of her, so their faces were on the same level.

“You won’t speak another intelligible word, will you?”

She shook her head no, quickly. Too fast, it almost made her dizzy.

“Punishments from me are generally quick and to the point. It’s over now, we’re good. You have four more strokes of the flogger coming to you. You’ll get them all at once. Nod that you understand.”

She shook her head no; she couldn’t take four strikes of anything right now, her ass fucking hurt.

His smile was gentle as he caressed her cheek and said, “Good girl. Honesty is good. I’ll rub your back for a minute while you deal with the pain. I’m happy you told me you weren’t ready, I need to trust you’ll let me know these things. Do you know why I’m not rubbing your ass? No words, yes or no with your head.”

She knew. He wasn’t going to give her relief from punishment. And she respected him for it, too. She nodded and he smiled before standing and rubbing her back — soothing her, calming her down. He comforted her for several long moments before returning to her ear with his mouth. “Four more, two at a time, use your hands to signal if it’s too much.”

I’ll give away one ebook copy of Safeword: Matte on Thursday, November 1st. There are three ways to enter. Do all three and you’ll be entered three times, or do one and you’re entered once:

Here’s the blurb for Safeword: Matte

Matte, pronounced mah-tay, is the word used in some forms of martial arts to stop a fight. It’s the Japanese word for stop or wait. Sam (short for Samantha) has made a hobby out of learning the various fighting disciplines, but she also happens to be a sexual submissive. What better safeword than matte?

Sam wants to find someone to submit to who she can’t beat in a fight. She’s tried to make it work with men from the scene who know nothing about fighting, but it doesn’t feel real to her – she needs someone who can truly control her. However, after dating from the fight scene and discovering not all guys like to spank their girlfriends, she’s decided to just back away from the whole dating thing for a while… until Fate decides to step in.

Warning: This title contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, bondage, and use of toys including crops, clamps, canes, and floggers.
