Not only do I talk about First, I Love You but reveal a bit about Second of All and even Third Time’s The Charm!
#ASMSG COVER REVEAL!!! Check out Caged Heat by @MillyTaiden! SO hawt!
I’m so super stoked to reveal this cover. It’s suuuper smexy! (As is the story I’m sure!) Ready? OK!
Here it is:
After five years traveling through third world countries to teach impoverished children, Samira Suarez has returned home to Black Meadows. What Sam didn’t expect was to be instantly overwhelmed by the desire to be with the one man she’s wanted since she was a teen, Riel Karven.
Riel has been patiently waiting for Sam’s return. For five long years he’s backed off and watched her come and go. This is it. His mate is back, and he’s taking a stand.
Sam’s need for Ry grows to unimaginable proportions. It’s almost as if she were in heat. But she’s a human…isn’t she?
There’s more at stake than Sam and Ry’s future relationship when she inherits her grandmother’s estate. One of her many relatives wants her out of the way.
It’s going to take all of Ry’s determination and help from his friends to keep her alive. And it’s going to take delving into her past to find out why a human is going into mating heat.

REBLOG: always tomorrow by @Penelope_Prose #Poemup #ASMSG
A lovely poem by (I still can’t figure out why she’s called) Bad Penny:
For @Geminiswords: Liebster answers
Ok so I already received the Liebster from my friend Penny (Http://www.thepenelopejones.wordpress.com) which I answered here:
But the lovely Gemini nominated me as well so I am going to answer her questions without nominating 11 new blogs. (Cheating! Yes I know, the Devil’s getting thirsty waitin for me to care. ;P)
What is your guilty pleasure?
Mmnnnn, so many ways to answer this. Food wise, cheesecake. Activity wise, reading blogs, especially those with romantic and/or sensual poetry.
Who is your favorite author?
Jane Austen
What would be your perfect first date?
Some sort of group activity (like a museum or party) where I would feel like I had an escape route. LOL I’m serious, I hated dating. Haaaaated. It. Deeply. Takes me a long time to warm up to people. Once I do it’s hard to get me to shut up.
Sweet or savory?
Both! Chocolate covered pretzels, brownsugar covered bacon, french fries in a smoothie…
Where would you rather be right now in the world?
Chicago, IL.
What is your pet hate?
My what now? Thing I hate the most? Or a pet I hate? I sense a Yank-Brit confusion here. The thing I hate most in the world is intolerance/prejudice.
What are you most talented at?
Writing? I honestly don’t know. That’s the thing I get the most compliments for. That and my ability to get people to look at something from a different angle.
If you were a cocktail, what would you be called?
The Cupcake. I know, cheating! Again! LOL
What is your most treasured possession?
I was going to kneejerk say my children but they aren’t a possession they’re a gift, so I will go with letters/keepsakes from my ancestors.
What is your favorite movie?
Dang it that’s hard. I would say tie between the BBC version of Pride&Prejudice (which is cheating again I know since that’s more a mini-series) and The Godfather.
Have you ever taken anything that wasn’t yours and if so what?
Yes. Slippers. In my defense I honestly didn’t realize I hadn’t rung them up at Target. My husband laughed about it for days because I wouldn’t wear them.
If you’re over 18, please go visit Gemini’s blog! She writes such beautiful D/s poetry, sometimes soulful, sometimes sexy, sometimes both, and sometimes her Joseph writes a response (maybe I should have said following their love story is one of my guilty pleasures…)
Grab a spoon everyone! Cupcake interviews @Penelope_Prose (Bad Penny) #ASMSG
Ok I have an exciting treat today! A guest interview with my dear friend Penelope Jones, aka Bad Penny, aka Sweet P. You can find her blog here: The very Bad Penny I invited her here to talk a bit about her upcoming release Iniquitous Solace, a book she co-wrote with Max of Cherish Desire. You can find him here: Very Dirty Stories by Max
Hi Penny! Thank you for taking the time tell us about your new “piece of work”.
I know you had a lot of fun doing that interview with Travis Luedke (Author of the fabulous Nightlife Series) full of BDSM-ery which people of the 18 and older variety can find here: A Spanking Good Time w/ erotica authors Penelope Jones and Max
Butt, (haha)
Today’s interview is going to be entirely cupcake-ery.
*passes Penny her own pint of Ben and Jerry’s*
*Penny takes the Chunky Monkey, and looks orgasmic after that first bite*
Q: You ready to soft rock, Sweet P?
A: *winks* I’m the girl that likes to cuddle after raunchy sex. I’m totally down for soft rock with you, Cupcake! *giggles*
Q: So this new book of yours, Iniquitous Solace, can you tell us a little bit about the premise?
A: Max sorta started the idea by replying to poems on my blog, and soon it became Iniquitous Solace… Our wicked peace comes across each page and tangles into your heart, and your imaginations take hold. It’s notes and letters back and forth between strangers at first, and then each poem begins to strip layer for layer away from the walls they have built to protect themselves, and it takes you on a journey of love and lust in Rhythmic words.
Q: What genre would you place it in? On a scale of naughty to cupcake how would you rate it?
A: I’d say definitely moments of Cupcakery, romance as well, but absolutely hands down there’s naughty to go with it all. I wouldn’t be Bad Penny if there wasn’t naughty, right?
Q: What made you decide to write it?
A: I sorta covered this question above…however there’s more to the story. *chuckles* Max felt sorry for me. I wrote a poem, and no one commented, so he wrote me an “I feel sorry for you” poem and left it in my comment section.. I thought he just wanted advertising on my blog. *giggles* It wasn’t until the 3rd or 4th poem he finally said something along these lines. “You realize I’m not really writing poems to your blog right?” He was stalking me, and I was on the down-low stalking him. The rest is history, and now we have a collaboration partnership.
Q: How long did it take you guys to write it?
A: We started right before Thanksgiving, and I’ve been mostly done writing poetry for a week now. We are waiting on busy, busy, busy Max to catch up. There will be about 50 poems in total taking the reader along the path of lusty desires and needs of these lovers. *grins*
Q: Approximately when can we expect to see its release and where can we get a copy?
A: It will be in the first two weeks in February. The exact date hasn’t been set, but it will definitely be available before Valentine’s Day, and it will be available on Amazon in like 6 or more different countries I believe.
Q: Do you and Max have any plans for a series?
A: I have lots of ideas, dreams, and wishes in this department, however Max has his own business plan going on, as well I do… so fitting these ideas in might not work out so well. *giggles* We do plan to extend the Alice and Tabbi story… and what happens after the New Year’s Eve part. That’s the only confirmed collaboration we have at this time.
Q: What are you, individually, writing right now?
A: Max is working on extending his “The Lioness” storyline. Heather and Erik have more to say and do before that story is complete. *grins* I’m working on my Chat Box Dominant Series, The Diary of a Broken Me being the first installment, I’m hoping to have it available for sale by Spring. I’m also editing my novel The Beautiful Catastrophe.
Q: What genre would you place it in and on a scale of naughty to cupcake how would you rate it?
A: The Lioness Storyline is SUPER Naughty, so off the scale. *winks and snickers* Diary of a Broken Me is Naughty with many Cupcake moments. And last but not lease… The Beautiful Catastrophe I would say is Cupcakery with naughty moments. It’s probably my sweetest storyline I’ve ever written, and it has moments that simply make you cry, laugh, and hopefully get wet. *giggles*
Ooohh I totally can’t wait, Sweet P! I mean, I do love your naughty stories but you *know* how much I love your sweet stuff too. Ok, now we got all that dry boring author to author Q&A out of the way.
*Gen gets out the whipped cream and sprinkles*
Q: How old were you when you first started writing #naughty fiction?
A: Legally I can’t tell you that. There are perverts out there that would use it against me. *snickers* Let’s just say I’ve been naughty since I can remember, and writing about it almost as long.
Q: Haha! And yeesh! You joke, but there are some creepy people out there! Have you always wanted to be a writer/author?
A: No. My sister, as much as I love her, crushed that dream at age 11. I read every romance novel my granny had back then, and thought I can do that… I know it’s laughable now, that an 11 year old would want to write a novel, but having your genius older sister tell you it was a dumb idea, let that dream climb under a rock, until recently. I seriously just started writing for real in May of 2012. I’m a geek, so for 10 years I wrote storylines and role-played with friends. I’m making my dream finally come true, and loving every damn moment of it. *grins*
Q: Tuh! How wrong your sister was! So happy you’re embracing your passion! Where do you get your best ideas?
A: My lifestyle. I live the lifestyle I write about. BDSM is a special genre that has become quite popular by “Fifty Shades of Grey” . Bless that woman’s heart for allowing those that write the REAL: BDSM lifestyle in our books into the mainstream, too bad her book was just a beginners guide if that.
Q: Yes I believe I’ve made my thoughts on the 50 Shades fad clear. *snicker* But if there’s one thing I’ve learned since meeting you Sweet P, it’s that you always look at the bright side of everything and I am happy that you and other talented writers in that niche can share your feelings and culture with the rest of us!
If you could collaborate with any author (dead or alive) to write a book, who would it be and what would it be about?
A: Sadey Quinn! She’s a BDSM erotica author, that wrote the amazing storyline about “Rock Creek” A kinky BDSM housing community that you had to be on a waiting list to get in, and have interviews and references, but it was all kink friendly. You were free to be you on your lawn, or in the neighbor’s yard. No one judged you for walking around naked, or on a leash. It was awesome. Sorry… very un-cupcake of me! *giggles* Under Order and Social Services are my favorites of hers.
Q: No, but I *do* feel like having a little extra chocolate sauce and maybe another cherry on my ice cream now. *winks* What is your biggest writing pet peeve within the erotica genre?
*pokes Penny with her spoon* (Now I know you’re going to try and get out of answering this because you’re borderline pathologically nice, but be honest! Everyone has their own likes and dislikes and we are all entitled to them, it’s not a bash it’s… let’s call it a non-fetish. Ha!)
A: I’m only delaying my answer, hoping you’ll go get a bigger wooden spoon, and really hit me. *winks*
I’m kidding. No…actually I have an answer for this! People who try and write about BDSM/Domestic Discipline and have NO idea what the hell it means. Don’t just do Internet research. You need to find people that LIVE this life, that know this LIFE… ask us we are more than willing to share because we want our lifestyle portrayed in the best light.
Q: *still snickering* What do you love most about the erotica genre?
A: All the different view points, and ideas that come through in erotica. Plus… in all honest I’ve learned a lot of new ways to enjoy sex with my partners. I’m super-duper naughty, but I’m not above learning new things. *giggles* You might not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach a sexy kitty. *winks* Meow.
Q: What is your biggest pet peeve in cupcake’s contemporary romance genre?
A: Gen… you sure you want me to answer that? *snickers* I’m kidding… I love happily ever after, but some of the stories are pretty far fetched. Just my opinion.
Q: Actually I agree with you! Sometimes you just groan and roll your eyes with the dialogue and sudden reversal of feelings. I like to write as much realism as I can in with my schmoopy hearts and flowers. heehee! What do you love most about it?
A: The happy endings. I’m a sucker for the lovers finding their way to being together.
Q: Ohh me too! Totally addicted to the HEA! So about you in particular, what is one thing you simply can’t do without in a day?
A: I can’t do without my writing. I’ve written every day pretty much for over 15 years. I don’t know if I know what to do without it. I feel naked and not in a sexy, come get me naked way. *giggles*
Well, Sweet P, thank you for answering my questions!
Thank you for having me, Cupcake. I’ve had a blast, now let’s get shaking our groove thangs. * giggles*
*Gen puts in John Hughes film*

Reblog: where love resides by @laDeeDa51
Reblog! Who knew the Cupcake had some erotica in her? ;P
Ok so I told you I was going to write that wee bit of #Naughty. And I did. But it’s not vanilla, and it is very much 18+ only, so I asked my super awesome friend Penny to host it on her little corner of smutopia and naughtyville. And because, as previously mentioned, she is made of awesome, she did.
WARNING: This hot-shot contains graphic sex, abduction, bondage, gangsters, and gun play. If any of these things bother you please do not read.

Guest Blog! The Next Big Thing via @JasonJaxx
Hello I’ve been tagged by Jason Jaxx for the Next Big Thing Blog Hop (and by two others as well, so more to come!) I will be answering questions about my next book (Second of All) in a few days, then tagging a few authors with blogs to do the same. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO TAG YOU!!!!
Jason is an erotica author, so 18+ only please. 😉 Here’s what Jason’s been working on:
What is the (working title) of your book?
Secret Story Time: More Filthy Fantasies
Where did the idea come from for the book?
This is a follow up to be first compilation of erotic short stories: Dirty Secrets & Filthy Fantasies. I tend to write shorter pieces while working on longer books as a way to keep things fresh and exciting for both me and the readers.
What genre does your book fall under?
Erotica…most definitely Erotica. So definitely Adults only!
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Sexy pornstars. Not much acting skills required for these tales but they would need to be energetic!
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
A collection of short erotic tales designed to be read in secret, late at night when the urge to read something a little bit more dirty strikes. You will be introduced to characters placed in situations where the potential for erotic activity is realized swiftly and with explosive results.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Self-published
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
The stories were written during the last six months. I’ve just finished compiling and refining them.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
Any that inspire bouts of one handed reading!
Who or What inspired you to write this book? My fevered imagination and a stressful work environment conspired to form the suggestions that allowed these tales to be unleashed from the dirtier recesses of my mind.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
It will be free and it will be packed with hardcore erotic action! There is the potential for some of these stories or characters to make recurring experiences. I wait eagerly to hear which strike a chord.
