On a living room couch far far away... (#erotica #fairytales #inspiration @Liz_DeJesus23)

Mugshots Cover

By Liz DeJesus (Guest Blogger)

Once upon a time on a living room couch far far away…a friend sent me an illustration of Snow White. Except that this wasn’t a typical Disney drawing or illustration. This Snow White had a wicked smirk on her face, her makeup was smeared and looked as though she had been pulled away from someone else’s lips while in the middle of a make-out session…and she was holding a sign with numbers on it. This was Snow White’s mugshot and she was being arrested for sexual misconduct. And this wasn’t the only one. There were four illustrations in this series. Fairy Tale Mugshots, drawn by Marilen Androver. Snow White, Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks.

I loved each one on sight.

Not only that, I was curious. And anyone that knows me, knows that I love fairy tales and I’m a curious person (very similar to our dear Alice). The more I looked at these images, the more I asked myself ‘How did they get arrested in the first place?’, ‘What lead them to commit these crimes?’, ‘What are their personalities like?’, ‘Are they innocent…or guilty of the crime?’. So naturally I had to answer all of these questions.

This is pretty much my process when it comes to my writing. Some authors have charts, post it notes and are very organized. I wish I were more like that. I’m a pantser all the way. I fly by the seat of my pants and just go wherever my characters want to go. I want to discover things at the same time they do. There are a few things here and there that I do know ahead of time but very rarely does that happen. And the great thing about writing is that everyone has a different process. Everyone has their own unique way of bringing characters to life.

I like writing the old fashioned way, pen and paper. It’s a sensory thing for me. The soft, smooth paper, and the needle tip pen (my favorite kind) softly scratching against the paper. *happy sigh* That’s really all I need. So I get lost in the sound and the story that I’m working on at that particular moment.

And sometimes, I get inspired by works of art like it happened with Mugshots. I had the pictures saved on my cellphone and whenever I needed to do so, I would look at each image and pretend to interrogate them. Sounds insane. I know. But like I said, writers have their own way of doing things. And sometimes Alice would ‘talk’ and tell me bits and pieces of her story (at least what she remembered). Or Holly (my Red Riding Hood) would half growl, half mumble her story at me.

I loved trying to figure out who these women were. What they were addicted to, who they loved, and who they hated. It took me a little over two years to write Mugshots, mostly because I got stuck with some of the research I had to do. I got bogged down by the details and didn’t focus on the actual story. What happens when you get arrested? What is it like to get fingerprinted? And the famous mugshot? How was that going to happen? Lots of things that needed to be taken into consideration. So I ended up going with a small police station and kept it all as though it were happening in a small fictional town.

And last year on New Year’s Eve I gave myself a resolution. I told myself that this was the year that I would finish writing Mugshots and get it published. I had the bare bones of the story, all I needed to do was hunker down and finish writing the book. Every day for MONTHS that’s what I did. I immersed myself in the strange, dark, erotic and magical world that Snow, Alice, Holly and Winnie lived in.

I had an amazing time writing this book and I sincerely hope that you enjoy reading it as well. If you are a fan of fairy tale retellings with a little bit of mischief and erotica thrown into the mix then you will definitely enjoy Mugshots.

Blurb

Alice had recently been dumped by her boyfriend, Jack Hart. She’s not taking the breakup very well. She’s picked up a dangerous mushroom habit and has been taking frequent trips down the rabbit hole. Alice and her BFF Kat Cheshire go on a drug infused and sexually charged trip as they make their way toward Wonderland, a new dance club that Alice has been eager to visit. Will she make it out of the rabbit hole unscathed or will she forever be changed?

Holly is a good granddaughter and an antique store owner by day. But by night? She becomes a wolf determined to escape the nightly attentions of her ex-boyfriend, Pyotr. The man that turned her into a monster. After she rejects his advances one time too many he threatens to kill the person she loves the most in the world. Her grandmother. Holly will do anything to keep her safe…even enlist the help of a woman with golden hair.

Winnie loves bears. Some people might say she’s obsessed but she calls it being an avid collector. She is searching for a particular set of bears. They are ‘The Three Wise Bears’ and each one is made out of solid gold. Winnie has two out of three. She’s close to finding the third one and completing her collection. She’ll do whatever it takes to find it…even breaking and entering.

Snow is in a tough position at work….in more ways than one actually. Every night she puts on a show at The Poisoned Apple, her stepmother Cora owns the highly exclusive sex club. And every night Snow entertains the clients by performing sexual acts, but she’s tired of that life. She longs for the day she can quit her job and live with her boyfriend Jerry. But things get complicated when Cora becomes more and more unstable with every passing day. She grows obsessed with Snow’s beauty and popularity. Enough that Snow tries to run away from her controlling stepmother. Will she finally be free from Cora’s grasp? Or will she pay the ultimate price?

Fairy tales like you’ve never seen them before. These wickedly enchanting tales intersect in ways you couldn’t imagine. Enjoy finding out the story behind their Mugshots.

Peeking under the plain brown wrapper... (#erotica #swinging #zombies)

Usually I host guests on Saturdays, but lately I have been taking something of a Zen approach to scheduling appearances. Rather than soliciting for guests, I will wait to see who turns up. Some of my most memorable guest posts have been from people who contacted me out of the blue, looking for a place to talk about their books.

Anyway, today I have sort of a virtual guest post. I’m featuring the new collection of over-the-top erotica from my friend and co-blogger Daddy X, entitled Brand X. I had the highly enjoyable job of editing this rowdy assortment of dirty daydreams, so I think I can say with authority that this book is wildly different from most erotica out there.

Daddy likes to push the envelope, sometimes to the point of absurdity. As a case in point, consider “Sneak Attack”. This story manages to include the American Revolution, gang bangs, homosexuality, and zombies. “Light My Fire” explores the unintended consequences of withholding sexual favors until one is married. “Nikki and the Neighbors” features spanking, taken to extremes. The sly narrator in “Size Matters” finds a solution to a pair of big problems—two men so generously endowed that women are afraid of them. “Tenters”, my favorite tale in the book, can’t really be described. It has to be experienced.

The sex in Brand X is frequent, juicy, and generally enjoyed by all concerned—male and female characters alike. Here’s a snippet from “Tenters”, to give you a feel for Daddy’s style.



We knew what would happen, didn’t we?” Amanda’s eyes sparkled with unabashed glee and a sadistic something—something else. “We know how it is under there, don’t we honey?” Her backside wiggled in the chair. “So sexy. All dark. Everything so muffled. Up close. Everything so—so proximate.”

Temperature builds in a dark world. Heat, smells, pheromonic humidity of overcharged fluids challenge the flesh while frottage and lack of oxygen conspire with the libido. Together they form strange new emotions, sensations. Expectations dissolve in an all-encompassing atmosphere of erotic sensuality. Satin whispered shuffles of sheets caress random naked bodies whenever whatever moves, twitches, pokes, slips or silky soft slides against or between something of someone else’s. Compounded effects and their causes turn reality back on itself. Just the slightest adaptation of a participant’s place in life under cover elicits equal and opposite reactions to insure everyone involved takes part.

Events slow down. Following blind human tactile sensations (not the will) becomes All There Is. The stark enormity of one’s own being binds all souls present, an effect impossible to disregard. Lovers experience infinite qualities of a reality existing only among themselves between the sheets, just as children create their own world with a blanket tented across dining room chairs on a dark, dank and drizzly day.

Boys called it a fort and kept little girls out. Boys poked index fingers through slits to protect themselves from imaginary foes. Girls called it a home and tried to tidy up. They served water for tea in tiny cups to imaginary friends. Then, with similar little index fingers they beckoned to the boys who came to tear the structure down.

I’m jerked back to the present by a muffled yell that’s audible even over the Bay Area traffic report. I step into the shower to address the reflection of a guy with his dick in a towel. “Like old times!” I tell my doppelganger. “Sore,” he says back. The opposite wall is another mirror where reflections upon reflections evoke madeleine memories approaching Proustian detail.

If you’re bored with the typical erotic fiction you find in the market, why not take a peek under the plain brown wrapper?

About Daddy X

Daddy X always wanted to be a dirty old man.

He survived the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and George W. Bush. He maintained an (almost) steady trajectory through Catholic school, a paper route, muskrat trapping, a steel mill, Bucks County, the Haight Ashbury, North Beach, the SF bar business, drug addiction, alcoholism, a stroke, hep C, cancer, a liver transplant, a year of chemo, a stickup at his art gallery while tied to a desk (not as cool as it sounds), a triple bypass, heart attack…and George W. Bush.

Now he’s old, and it’s time to get dirty.

He’s been with Momma X (greatest editor on earth) for fifty years, but she thinks his stuff is too skeevy to deal with. They live in northern California with a ninety pound lop-eared hound (17” wingspan) and two cats. Some of Daddy’s dirtiest stories have been gathered in The Gonzo Collection, also available from eXcessica. Daddy is also published in anthologies by Naughty Nights Press, House of Erotica and in Cleis Press’ Best Bondage 2015.

Male/Male Erotica – An Easy Switch

By Harper Jewel (Guest Blogger)

Thanks, Lisabet, for having me here today. I appreciate the opportunity to share a bit about myself.

Ever since I was a child, I wrote stories for myself and for school when required. But when I began writing for publication in October 2012 and discovered my knack for writing erotica, I never intended to write a male/male story. I felt comfortable with my male/female and my male/female/male ménage ideas. Inserting a paranormal influence was not a difficult choice; it just came naturally. I did, however, feel the need to write straight contemporary erotica as well. Thus, my “A Seekers Story” titles and my “Inked Heat” titles (one of which is no longer available) came to be.

It truly amazes me how everyday situations or things can suddenly spark a story idea. As a result, I find myself wishing I could run for pen and paper or my laptop at truly inconvenient times—doing errands, driving my daughter to and from school, or standing under the shower for instance.

When I spotted a particular photo on a Deviant Art page, it sparked an immediate interest and sent my imagination wheels spinning. The picture of two men standing in front of a wall mirror, one embracing the other from behind as he kissed his way up his partner’s neck, “spoke” to me in such a way that it seeped into my pores.

Because I wasn’t completely convinced I could pull off a story with gay men as my characters, I didn’t act on the idea-kernel that continued to plague me for several weeks. But when I kept “seeing” that photo, especially at night when I was trying to sleep, not to mention that names for the characters kept playing on an endless loop in my mind, I simply had to sit and write.

The opening scene for MIRROR OF OBSESSION came so easily, it practically wrote itself. In fact, my fingers couldn’t type fast enough. Then Devin Hughes, the main character, continued to chatter away at me. It was his idea to bring the paranormal twist to this book, and it was his idea to create Matthew Lyons. He didn’t want Brice to be his love interest as I’d originally planned; he demanded that Matt be his heartthrob and perfect partner. At this point, I didn’t dare disagree.

Before I knew it, Devin, Matt, and Brice had taken complete control and the story was nearing completion. I’m not one that likes cliffhangers, even in a series, so the way these three ended the story made me smile. Upon writing THE END, I sat back and smiled. My first male/male story was complete and under my belt. I couldn’t believe how easy it had been and was beyond proud with the results. And just like that, my switch to the male/male genre was born. Simple as that.

This doesn’t mean that I’ll never write another male/female story (I already have one with a paranormal element finished that isn’t available as of yet) but for me, the male/male or, in the case of a current WIP for my Inked Heat series, the male/male/female category is my preference. For whatever reason, I find writing the male/male sex scenes grittier and easier to write.

For me, as a writer, there is nothing better than having a WIP fly off my fingertips. Head Game, another title I’m currently working on, has completely engulfed me. Adam Darling, my main character in what is turning out to be a raunchy romp, is taking up most of my waking and sleeping thoughts. In approximately thirty-two hours total time, I’ve put almost 10,000 words on page and I couldn’t be happier with the way things are turning out with this little vignette!

Most of my currently published books include a fair share of titillating sex and when a reader or reviewer mentions a particular scene and their sizzling reaction to it—getting a cold drink, taking a cold shower, changing their panties, or breaking out their B.O.B.s—I just sit back and grin. That’s what I aim for!

Some may wonder how I made the decision to move away from traditional publishers and give eXcessica a shot. I discovered the hard way that putting my manuscripts in the hands of others did not work out well for me. I like the idea of choosing my editor and cover artist. This way, I’m guaranteed to work with someone I’m compatible with. Choosing my own release date also works in my favor. I believe having a recognizable name associated with my latest release has helped tremendously. Now, I’ll feel much more comfortable self-publishing some of my other titles.

MIRROR OF OBSESSION, my newest release as well as my first foray into the male/male genre and my first publication with eXcessica Publishing has been reaping four- and five-star reviews. I do hope you’ll check it out.



Blurb

When fifteen-year-old Devin Hughes created his phantom lover to help him keep his sexual identity a secret, he never imagined that Brice would materialize in the flesh ten years later.
Convinced that the mind-blowing encounters he had with his hunky specter were nothing more than fevered hallucinations, Dev attempts to push Brice to the back of his mind and concentrate on his rising career as an advertising executive.

With the help of his newest client, Englishman Matthew Lyons, CEO of Lyons Security, Devin is able to forget Brice once and for all. Sparks fly between Dev and Matt, and they speed full-throttle into a relationship.

During a month-long separation, Devin struggles with uncertainty and reverts to his “hurt them before they hurt you” attitude, forcing him to get a grip and make things right or lose Matt altogether.

When an obsessed Brice finds out about Devin’s new relationship, his rage reaches an all-time high. The two men have ruined all his plans, and he will stop at nothing to reach his goal: harvesting Devin’s soul.

Will Devin, with Matthew’s help, find a way to banish Brice forever, or will they both succumb to the satanic powers of a maniacal demon?

Naughty Excerpt

I’m your fantasy. I know everything that pleases you,” crooned Brice as his hand continued to pump Dev’s cock with firm, sure strokes.

Unable to fight his misgivings any longer, Devin relaxed, letting the apparition coaxing his length to life have his wicked way. The meaty palm caressing his staff stopped after a few minutes. Dev’s throbbing hard-on stood at attention from his groin as a set of moist lips latched onto his, forcing his eyes to open at the same time Brice straddled his hips. Two pools of liquid obsidian met his own baby blues, and he couldn’t help but shift his hips, begging for more.

I’m going to ride your magnificent cock, Dev. Watch me as I do it.”

Devin focused on his lover as the man leaned slightly forward, pulled his ass cheeks apart, and lowered his body. Tight, tingling warmth surrounded his cock while his gaze flickered and refocused onto Bri’s steely erection bobbing before him, the domed purple head leaking profusely. Reaching out, Dev’s hands gripped the sides of the muscular waist riding his hips and grunted in animalistic satisfaction.

Ready for me to move, Dev?”

Hell yes. Do it.”

As you wish.” As if in slow motion, Brice began to rock forward and back, riding the dick nestled in his ass. “So fucking perfect. I knew your cock would hurt so good, Dev. I just knew it.”

Uh huh… don’t stop.”

I have no intentions of stopping. Not until you’ve emptied everything you’ve got deep inside me.”

Brice’s words were so stimulating, Devin felt himself begin to burn from the inside out. When Bri picked up the pace of his swaying movements, a new sensation bombarded him. The walls of his fantasy lover’s rear passage began to undulate in pulsating waves as if it were some sort of penis masturbator. Wave after wave of a sensuous rhythm set in, dragging him closer and closer to blast off.

When Brice dipped down to tease Devin’s nipple with a swirling tongue, he felt a hand slide under his left ass cheek, squeezing through the gap created by the rocking motion. Suddenly, a finger began to slither inside Dev’s back entrance just before a tiny probe that felt more like a barb stabbed him right in the prostate. Setting off a tumultuous chain reaction, it began with his shout of release followed by jackhammer twitches of his cock, as burst after burst of his stringy load shot from his vibrating rod. A black hole of ecstasy opened its maw and swallowed Devin whole, while his entire body quaked with abandon.

Oh, holy fuck, Bri!”

Take my dick in your hands, Devin. Stroke me off while you empty yourself in my ass. I want my cum to coat your sinful body,” commanded Brice.

Doing as instructed, Dev grasped Brice’s impressively hard length with shaky hands, squeezing and stroking the vein-covered stalk, using the clear molten fluid leaking from the slit to make the carnal massage smoother and easier.

That’s it. Grip me harder, squeeze me like a vise.”
