Tesla’s Imprint

by Kimberly Adkins

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blurb:

Some things just can’t be erased.

Simon’s visions of a little girl are the only memories he has. Like an imprint on his heart, the visions cling. Who is she? Who is he for that matter? Tracked and hunted across the world, and in possession of a device that sets him apart from time and space, danger follows him at each turn.

He never meant to drag Tess into his drama. But with one slow, seductive dance in a candlelit night­club, that’s exactly what he’s done.

Tesla’s own heritage is a mystery in itself. Born of wealth into a corporation with no paper trail, she’s called back to take the helm. But what’s the nature of the business she’s supposed to lead? And how does it connect her to Simon?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt:

Simon leaned with his back against the door. The metal was searing hot through his layers of clothing, but he barely reacted to the burn. He understood the feeling that flooded through his being, the sense that the young woman from the nightclub was just on the other side of the frame. It was false, of course. Once the device opened the slice it automatically detached and became inactive. When the door closed she was a world away.

What am I thinking? He firmly banged his head against the solid door, tacky with hot paint. When he’d told her he made a promise, he couldn’t have been more serious – and more disturbed by his reaction to the encounter in the night club than he cared to admit to himself.

What could he possibly have to offer such a beautiful young woman after a dance like the one they shared? God, he didn’t even know who he was. The only thing he could even be sure about was that he was in danger, all the time.

He had to learn the truth about his past and why he knew the things he did without remembering them. Until then, the only thing he could be is a shadow on the edge of society. Everyone was safer that way.

He replayed the way she felt in his arms, how she stood on her toes to kiss his chin with her irresistible lips. She felt familiar to him in a way he hadn’t experienced for what seemed like a lifetime. It didn’t matter, though. He couldn’t let it matter. She was halfway across the world now, and all the better for it.

…besides, he had work to do.

Author Interview

1. Woohoo! You are a published author. Describe a strong character trait you possess, good or bad, and how it helped you become a published author. I’ll give two. One is I’m stubborn. I’ll stick to something that’s important and won’t give up on it. I’ve wanted to be a published author since I was a pre-teen and in my stubbornness I put my foot down and said no more excuses, I’m doing it. As for the impatience, it’s one of the reasons I’ve stuck to eBook & self publishing.

2. Sometimes an author begins writing a story before they are aware of its genre. Did you choose your genre, or did it choose you? It was a combination of both. Parts of the story had been previously published as an erotic sci-fi/fantasy and after I reworked the stories and added more to them, they turned into what it is now.
3. The plot thickens, or does it? Which one are you, a pantser or a plotter? It depends upon the story. Sometimes I’ll info dump, which is me doing a rough outline of the story, before I start writing. Sometimes I’ll start writing, then info dump, then write and re-write. Sometimes I just write and see what happens. Most times though, I’ll do the rough outline and then work off that.
4. Fear 101: As writers it is our duty to make our characters face their fears. Have you ever included one of your own fears in a storyline? I’m sure I have. The one that’s coming to mind at the moment is the fear of losing someone I love. In a story in Fate’s Deal that’s published under my other pen name, I wrote about a character who lost her loved one.
5. Fear 102: Yes, deadlines are terrifying. Have you conquered the juggling act between writing and the rest of your life? What do you do when it feels like the balls are dropping all around you? Yes, I’ve finally gotten into a groove of writing time and having a life. I tend to write a lot at night so I’m able to take care of other matters during the day. Yet, when things do become overwhelming and the ‘balls are dropping,’ I’ll stop everything, focus on myself for a while and try to re-center and clear my mind.
6. Switch positions with one of your main characters in a scene. What is the outcome, disaster or divine intervention? There’d have to be diving intervention because there’s no other way out. But if I were to say more, it might be considered a spoiler alert. 😉
7. Where is your favorite place to write? Add that one comfort food that you can’t do without. I love to write outside when the temperature’s behaving. As for comfort food, potato chips…actually anything potato really—chips, tots, baked, fries…yum!
8. Writing inspirations? I find inspiration everywhere—dialogue from people in person or television; snippets of news; pieces from songs, etc. Author inspiration—Stephen King, Anne Rice, Clive Barker.
9. You are introduced to your favorite author. Who is it, and what is that one burning question you must ask them? Any of the three listed above. What’s your process for creating such wonderful characters? Though when I met Clive Barker I was young and green and asked him something silly about his name.

 

10. I’ve gone mad – why don’t you come with me? Some people just don’t understand us writers. Name a quirky, writer-thing you do that friends wish you didn’t. I carry small notebooks and my iPhone around with me. Never know when an idea will strike, right? And, when an idea does strike, I’m known to whip out one of the items and take the dictation from my muse, no matter where we are.

Open World C.O.V.E.N.

by Casey Moss

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Blurb:

The world has broken out in wars. Las Vegas has been ravaged by chemical warfare and is now home to several clans and creatures.

Welcome to I-D-8 Entertainment’s newest game: Clans of Vegas—Endless Night.

Friends and family have gathered for a crunch time playtest of C.O.V.E.N.. When a horrible thunderstorm hits, everyone’s sucked into the game for real. In the MMORPG, Hope Collins is kidnapped by Buzz and forced to submit to his whims. Her boyfriend, Alden, has to delay his quest of defeating a clan’s prince to save her, but time and circumstance don’t seem to be on his side. Faith Collins is bombarded by strange dreams brought on by Buzz. Her boyfriend, Tavis, learns to dream walk, but can he help break the spell she’s under and save her before she’s lost to him?

C.O.V.E.N. is more than just a game. It’s a whole other world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt:

Perhaps he’d been under too much stress, had too much caffeine, didn’t have enough sleep or information about the guy. More likely a combination of it all. A hodgepodge of shit and no shovel. He didn’t know how much more of all this he could take.

Shaking off the negativity, Alden rotated his head, listening to his spine crackle and pop. Tension released. The quick adjustment perked him up. He plated the burgers, closed the lid to the grill and exhaled a deep breath. First food, then work, and amongst it all, see if I can figure out Mr. Jenkins’s deal. Making his way toward the small group, the tray of hot meat balanced on one hand, he focused in on Cor, noting his body language and how the people around him responded.

Why did I imagine him as the antagonist? The one in the game I need to destroy?

The storyline he had to double check during the playtest dealt with finding the main boss—the Prince of Clan Caesachapel—and defeating him before the cad could cause harm. He’d intended to assist Hope and her family in creating ‘good’ characters, placing them in the clan he belonged to, and have them run the quests, as well. But with the way he’d been feeling, he almost reconsidered that idea.

Thing was he had a job to do. One he aimed to make good on and see through to the end. He’d never been the kind of guy to shirk a duty, and he wasn’t about to start now.

Mr. James Collins, a middle-aged man with graying, strawberry blond hair and ice blue eyes, glanced Den’s way as he approached. James acknowledged him with slight nod, then returned his attention to Cor.

The fact James was only a programmer and not his direct boss—or above him in any authoritative capacity in the organization—pleased Den. The man sure ran hot one moment and cold the next when it came to him. Hope had explained that was one of her father’s personality quirks and not to take it personal.

Some future father-in-law he would turn out to be.

Plastering a smile on his face, he placed the dish of meat on the aluminum table. James and the ladies’ attentions stayed fixed on the gentleman in their midst. Good. No one paid him any mind. More time to assess the situation.

Cor’s intense brown-eyed gaze bored into Hope’s, infiltrating her defenses and working whatever magic the man seemed to possess. Their connection resembled flirting but in a stronger sense. His chest tightened and burned. Mine, his inner voice asserted in a low, rolling growl, reminding him of his in game character’s speech. Alden stepped back before he could choose to put his fist in Cor’s face. His foot crunched on a chip bag that had fallen to the ground.

Hope didn’t flinch, didn’t look away.

Mesmerized. Shit. And not just her. Enthralled by the bean counter, the whole family overlooked him like he didn’t exist.

What the hell is going on?

Charmaine will be awarding a copy of the book to a randomly drawn commenter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

A sexy, sugar-laden David vs Goliath story about a local bakery, a national chain, and what really matters.

Clover Loveday has worked hard to get her café Four-Leaf Clover up and running, her ticket out of an increasingly alarming financial situation and her dream come true. When she literally falls off her ladder into the arms of national bakery chain Upper Crust owner, sexy-as-sin Liam Sinclair, who owns the new bakery being built just across the road, she decides that no matter how nauseated she is about the idea, it is best keep your enemy close, rather than leave things to fate.

Liam has never put too much thought into the competition when he opens a new outlet, other than taking their customers and strengthening the Upper Crust brand. But here in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, Clover Loveday’s cafe is a little too close for comfort, and Clover Loveday a little too good-looking. So Liam asks his PA to put together a Fact Sheet about his new competition. He has a business to run, a father to please, and hundreds of people to keep in jobs. Surely information can keep an unwanted strong sexual pull at bay…

A sexy, caffeinated, satisfying story about unexpected temptations, forgiveness, and putting love before money.

Enjoy an excerpt:

She could barely recognise the sound that escaped her mouth as hers. It was a sound from the back of her throat. Breathy and gravelly and potently full of wanton desire. But this was what she felt. This was what she wanted. Sensation raced through her body and pooled between her thighs.

 

She relaxed her legs, unable to retain any strength in them. The slow build of passion now quickly firing to a feverish need that demanded to be eased. A tremor of hunger raced through her as his hand rested on her thigh.

His fingers slipped beneath her hem, rising ever so slowly up her leg. She relaxed her legs, opening them enough for him, inviting him to touch her, appease her. Her body trembled, never having felt so alive as it did now.

His hand brushed her intimacy. She cried out, jerking at his first wonderful touch. The pad of his thumb traced the curve of her body and soon she was panting, skin heated with perspiration, heady with a blinding need, her underwear now a too-thick barrier.

His mouth left her breast. She cracked open hazy eyes to see him above her, watching her with savage hunger in his eyes. ‘I want you.’ His voice was rough and low and set her insides tumbling.

She sat, fingers working at his shirt. Her fingers trembled too much to undo the last buttons, so she slipped them inside the material, his heated skin scorching hers. Her fingers found his shoulders, caressing, probing, laving attention to the dips and undulations of skin above rock solid muscle.

He lifted his shirt over his head, throwing it to the floor and her fingers went immediately back to their ministrations. She saw his jaw clenching and unclenching and she wondered at the control it took for him to sit there and let her explore.

Her fingers slipped beneath the waist of his pants, his erection clearly evident, pushing against the material. His eyes closed and he tipped his head back as she slid her fingers over his groin, rubbing the tip of his penis through the material. She undid his belt, then the top button at the waist. His hand clenched around her wrist, and she looked up at him, their gazes locked.

There was a sheen of perspiration on his face, his features strained and serious, but she was drawn to the fierce burning in their depths. ‘I won’t go on until I know you want me too.’

‘Yes. Go on! God, I want you to go on.’

About the Author:

I live in Upwey, a very leafy suburb of outer Melbourne. I can hear most Melbournians say, ‘Where?’ Think Puffing Billy, the hills and inexcusably steep driveways and you’re there. We have a house with room for the kids to play in the backyard, the cat to sleep wherever and the husband to lounge on a bean-bag in front of the telly. I love romance because it adds so much to the story. Everyone needs a little love to take them away.

An Interview with Ophelia from Ophelia’s Lessons by Esmae Browder

Ophelia’s Lessons is an erotic, modern day prequel to Shakespeare’s tragedy, Hamlet. Sure we all read the Cliff Notes for the play in high school and most of us know the phrase, “To be or not to be!” comes from that tale, but did you ever stop to think about poor, innocent Ophelia? She was Hamlet’s doomed love, the woman-child who was taught that the most important thing you can do for your man is obey.  But what if she was more than she seemed? What if she had a whole back story that was steamy enough to make the Bard blush? Let’s find out in this short interview with a modern Ophelia from Book One in the Naughty Shakespeare series, Ophelia’s Lessons….

 

Give us a little background about yourself Ophelia.

Ophelia: What’s there to say really? I’m just a simple Texas girl going to college at the University of Texas. I live with a wild and crazy roommate named Portia who is always dating a new man every week. I worry about her. She’ll never find true love by sleeping with the entire male student body. (pauses to think) Then again…Portia is rather resourceful. I think she views sex as an interview process to love.

 

And you? Are you a believer in love?

O: (blushes and looks down demurely) Oh sure….I think love is the most important thing you can have in your life.

 

Have you ever been in love?

O: Well…there is this boy back home in Odessa. (smiles shyly) He comes from a wealthy family and my father, Polonius, works for them, but he’d never give me the time of day. This boy is very …well, I think he likes older women, more sophisticated and worldly.

 

What’s his name? Does he know how you feel?

O: Hamlet. It’s a family name, I think, and  I doubt he knows how I feel. I think he sees me like a little sister. He and my brother Laertes use to hang out together all the time and I would tag along. I use to spend hours  in the shadows watching Hamlet, dreaming of the day he would notice me. So far that day hasn’t come, but I’m working on a little side project that just might get his attention.

 

Oh really? And what kind of project is it?

O: (gives a nervous giggle) Well, it’s a little risqué. Portia is trying to get me to learn how to please a man.  In the bedroom. She thinks that if I become more experienced, Hamlet will notice me.

 

By experienced, you mean sex, right?

O:Yes. Don’t tell anyone though! Especially my father or brother. They would just die if they knew I had feelings for Hamlet. And they certainly wouldn’t approve of the lessons Portia has arranged with Horatio.

 

Horatio? Isn’t that Hamlet’s best friend? Are you fooling around with him?

O: I wouldn’t call it fooling around. It’s more like straight up, kinky sex.

 

Uh…won’t that be a problem when Hamlet finds out?

O: (a mischievous smile flits on her face) Who says he has to find out? (bats eyes innocently) You won’t tell, right?

Ophelia’s Lessons will be free for your Kindle at Amazon from July 23-26! Stop in and get your free copy!

Ophelia’s Lessons: The Naughty Shakespeare Series Book 1

by Esmae Browder

Blurb:

Sweet, innocent Ophelia–she wants nothing more than to marry Hamlet Elsinore. But what does a simple virgin know about pleasing a man like the sophisticated and charming Hamlet? Not a whole lot, but when her seductive roommate, Portia, learns of Ophelia’s interest, she gets Horatio to “teach” the innocent girl everything she’ll need to know to seduce his best friend, Hamlet.

Set in modern day, this prequel to Hamlet is steamy enough to have even the Bard blushing! Enjoy this first book of Literotica in the Naughty Shakespeare series.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt:

“You look fabulous.”

Portia’s eyes were filled with admiration as she surveyed her handiwork. She’d dressed Ophelia in a simple white dress. It fit to the curves of her body like a delicate glove, the silver zipper in the back running all the way down to the hemline. All a lover would have to do was pull the zipper down and her voluptuous body would be revealed.

“I like your hair up like that, too,” Portia said. “All those springy curls will create a wonderful effect during the heat of passion when he pulls it down.”

Astonished, Ophelia stared in the wide mirror above the couch.

Reflected back at her was a person she’d never seen before–someone who held a childlike innocence on her face that belied her twenty one years. Tucked into that innocence was the possibility of more.

“Well, what do you think?” Portia tapped her foot, impatient. “Do you like it or not?”

“I love it,” Ophelia whispered. “You’ve made me beautiful.”

“You were always beautiful darlin’,” Portia said, giving her arm a squeeze. “You just didn’t know it. And after tonight, you’ll be a little vixen. I have a feeling about you, Ophelia. Sex is going to change everything.”

There was a knock at the door.

Portia clapped her hands in excitement, while Ophelia bit her lip, her heart beating a mile a minute.

This was it.

What she’d been waiting for.

“Take a breath.” Portia instructed her. “It’s all going to be okay.”

With a small nod, Ophelia did as she was told.

“Horatio, how are you darlin’?” Portia opened the door, revealing a dark haired man. In the dim light of the hall, he seemed larger than life, his square shoulders framed in the doorway. “Come on in.”

Ophelia couldn’t help but let out a little gasp of surprise when he entered the room.

Horatio. Hamlet’s best friend. What could Portia be thinking by setting her up like this?

Character Interview:

  1. What is Adelaide like? Adelaide Jenner is the MC of Black Orchid. While she remained fairly constant through the first three books of the series – as the shy, somewhat reserved voice of reason in the family – she goes through major changes in Black Orchid. So it’s hard to describe what she’s like. But I would say she comes out on the other end with a lot more self-confidence. Though she remains as sweet and loyal as every.
  1. What does Adelaide do best? What is the perfect location for this action? Adelaide’s primary gift is the ability to see relationships. There’s really no location that’s necessary, although sometimes privacy helps depending on what she sees.
  1. What drives Adelaide to do the things they do? Everything hinges on the fact that her fated love deserted her at the end of book #3. Adelaide’s memory is wiped early on in Black Orchid in order to save her from the pain. So her character development moves from reactionary (just dealing with this new scary world) to proactively trying to better her position.
  1. You are introduced to Adelaide. Is she happy to meet you? Adelaide is one of those people who is shy – so she doesn’t necessarily enjoy meeting people. But she has a big heart, which makes her happy t
  1. What is Adelaide’s favorite guilty pleasure? Romance novels. She can’t get enough.
  1. How would Adelaide describe herself? Adelaide’s lack of memory means that she only knows herself as she was. She’d say she’s the quiet one of the family. That she’s an average girl (even though she’s not) with a wonderful, caring family.
  1. What is Adelaide’s weakness? Adelaide’s never had an active power, and feels like this puts her family at risk, having to protect her everywhere they go. In Black Orchid, her weakness is her lack of memory. It means she can’t recognize foe from friend.
  1. Where does Adelaide go to regroup/unwind? They move around a lot as a form of protection, so there’s no one place she can go. Adelaide tends to use alone time in her room, reading, as a means of escape or relaxing.
  1. What does Adelaide live for? The people she loves. Her family and friends are the most important thing in the world to her.
  2. What will Adelaide kill for? Same answer. The people she loves. Anyone who ever threatened them would regret it.

Adelaide Jenner Speaks:

  1. Give up three of your deepest, darkest secrets. I can’t stand Talia – the girl Selene rescued who just woke up. There’s something about her that just doesn’t sit right. And I like everyone.

I don’t share the relationships I can see. I don’t want to influence them.

Beyond that, I’m not much of a secret keeper. Especially with Lila (my sister) and Nate (my boyfriend). I tell them everything.

 

  1. If you could have one super power in your existence, what would it be? I have the ability to see relationships. But I’ve always wanted a more active power. I think some kind of super strength would be very cool.hyacinth
  1. A biography has been written about you. What do you think the title would be in six words or less? Oh The Troubles I’ve Seen
  1. If money were not an object, where would you most like to live? Money’s not the problem. But if I could choose, I’ve always wanted to live in Alaska during the summer and Australia in the winter. I’m a summer girl, so that would keep me in the season all year!
  2. Name one thing you must do before you die, and why. Finally marry Nate. We met so young, and Svatura live a long time. So we’ve been waiting for ages (almost 100 years).

Fill in the blank:

1. I can never go fishing because I can’t stand seeing those poor little fish on the line.

2. The next time I start high school all over again I will try being in the drama club. I’ve never had enough guts before.

3. Why do I always lose my car keys? I just can’t seem to hold on to those suckers.

4. My favorite flavor is chocolate because I was born in a time when it wasn’t as easy to get. So now I can’t get enough.

5. I love Nate because I  am his te’sorthene (fated love).

6. How much blood can you take? None Why? It makes me woozy. My dad’s a healer, and I still can’t handle it. Glad I didn’t inherit that power!
