Diane Dooley and I have partnered up and are finally jumping on the BDSM bandwagon! We have very spoiled and materialistic children and husbands who want to retire. Our bank accounts, quite frankly, are demanding much higher and more regular royalty deposits.*

Ours is a twist on the BDSM love story so fresh, you’ll want to slap it (or whip it, whip it good!) We hereby present our masterpiece to the world.

Tic-Tac: A Love Story

TicTac1

Dominic Masterson took a moment to admire the expensive hotel room, then pushed his wife down on the massive bed covered with one thousand thread count sheets in ecru. “Before we go any further we need a safe word. So I know when to stop.”

Sicilia Plook quirked an over-plucked eyebrow. “How about: stop it, that frickin’ hurts!”

He sighed impatiently. “No. Something sexy. Or symbolic.”

Sicilia sucked thoughtfully on a plump, pillowy, pouty, pink lip. “Okay, how about: stop that, it frickin’ hurts, Hugh Jackman!” She cackled.

His dark eyes surveyed her balefully. “I see I’m going to have to teach you some manners.” He reached into his back pocket on his form-fitting black leather pants and pulled out a comb, a wallet, a container of Tic-Tacs, a feather, some dental floss, a couple of chip clips and a pacifier. “Hang on, hang on… These pants are too tight to be toting this shit around.”

Smack! His hand made contact with his own ass. “I like how that sounds. Do you like how that sounds?”

“I don’t think you’re supposed to spank yourself.” Sicilia rolled her eyes, but after a few seconds leaned in to ask, “But…did it feel good?” Those same eyes o’snark dropped to his crotch. The pants he wore were so tight, they’d divided and conquered the family jewels into separate camps.

“It might have if I could feel my ass.” Dominic gave himself another swat. “Nope. It’s gone numb. How’s that bustier feeling?”

Sicilia pressed her hands to her breasts, tugging the corset up, trying to at least cover her nipples. “It’s not shaped the same as me. I wish I hadn’t cheaped out and got the PVC instead of real leather. It’s hotter than the devil’s testicle in a jock strap soaked in Ben-Gay.” She took a shallow breath. “It’s frickin too tight, too.”

Dominic snapped his fingers and pointed at her. “I have the perfect idea for a safeword…”

Sicilia turned away to loosen her corset. “Do tell,” she said, with unfortunate undertones of sarcasm.

Behind her, Dominic dropped to his knees on the expensive carpet, groaned, and grabbed his crotch. “Hospital!”

Sicilia, still fumbling with her laces, emitted a bored groan. “Hospital? Yeah, that’s sexy.” Her fingers grew more frantic and she tore at the corset. “Jesus Christ, help me get out of this thing. I can barely breathe.”

Dominic slumped over, moaning in pain. “I think these leather pants have burst my testicles. Help me, Sicilia! Help me!”

“Oh, for goodness sake!” She crouched at his side and attempted to undo the zipper on his pants, to provide some much needed relief to his nether regions. The zipper, unfortunately, was stuck. Sicilia tugged and tugged, but to no avail. Suddenly, she turned pale, her zipper exertions having pushed her breathing ability to the limit.

She attempted to stand, but it was no use. She collapsed on top of the writhing Dominic, pinning his huevos under the pancakes that used to be her breasts.

“Stop it, that frickin’ hurts,” he groaned.

“Hugh Jackman,” she whispered before she passed out.

Delicia Lushing found them the next morning and, as all good maids do when confronted with a pile of PVC and leather, hastily summoned the manager.

“Not another one,” Guy Manly blurted out upon arriving. “This is the third one this month!” He surveyed the dead bodies with annoyance. “Oh, actually this is new.” He bent and picked up the container of Tic-Tacs. “What in hell were they planning to do with these?”

Delicia tittered. “I bet you could think of something, Mr. Manly.”

Guy smirked at her, before tucking the Tic-Tacs into his pocket. “Meet you in Room 407, once the cops have dealt with …this. I’ll go call them now.” He turned to her before leaving. “Be thinking of a safeword, Delicia. Something Sexy. And symbolic.” He left to the sound of her giggling.

Did you like that? That was just one tale we’ve collaborated on. We have more in our collection. Here’s our overall pitch:

Follow the exploits of two hundred and twenty-six couples and ménages as they immerse themselves into the alluring but murky world of BDSM.

From housewives who trade pool boys and gardeners to firefighters with extra large hoses to the sado-masochistic world of tax auditors–these tales will titillate and tie you up in knots of ecstacy!

That’s right – for the price of a triple shot venti mocha with five pumps of dark and white chocolate, you get two hundred and twenty six stories that plunge moistly into the hearts and souls of BDSM practitioners, stories that will leave you begging for the next…and the next…and the next.

Tic-Tac: A Love Story will take you places you’ve never gone before, and then make you revisit them over and over… Buy it for all your friends! Gush about it at the office water cooler! Write lengthy fan letters to the authors, saying things like: “this book changed my life, and “could you please suggest an awesome safeword.”

Erotica author, Lulu Shaw wails: “The book I’ve been wracking my brain to write my whole life, goddammit, and these two yay-whos…. I’ll be over here, flagellating myself with envy.”

Author of The Illiterate’s Pop Up Book of BDSM Trends and Techniques, Jane Brown screeches:  “This is my new go-to book!”

BDSM expert, Lottie O’Payne, says, “So good I named it Book of the Day on my blog, which my friends say is the best blog ever, even though not many people read it.”

Erotica author, Labiosa Sweet, shares “this book is so hot that all my clothes fell off and I accidentally boffed the poor UPS man. Repeatedly.”

Intergalactic troublemaker to the stars, Agent Z. gushes, “What a load of frickin’ rubbish. This is the worst book I ever…You’re paying HOW much for my endorsement? Really? Ahem. I LOVED this book; it’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you cry, and it will probably make you come. The best book in the galaxy, nay, the universe!”

Hope you enjoyed our joint venture as much as we did. 😉

Welcome J. A. Belfield, author of Blue Moon

Welcome J. A. Belfield (aka Julie)! Julie is the author of Darkness & Light. She’s visiting me as part of her blog tour promoting her latest release, Blue Moon, a sequel to Darkness & Light.

I took the opportunity to ask her a few questions about her writing and what else she has in the works concerning a certain pack of werewolves:

Claire:  Let’s talk about writing in general first. When and Where do your best ideas come to you?

Julie:  Often in the shower or when washing up … hmmm, I sense a water theme here.

Who DON’T you tell you’re a writer / have written a book and why?

Dude, I tell anyone who asks. LOL. I’m proud of my achievements.

Finish this sentence for me:  “You know you’re a writer when…”

… Your husband finally gets your attention after talking to you for three hours and says: Where the hell did you just go?

Yeah, this happens a lot in my house. 😉

LOL… I hear ya!

How do you get past writer’s block / avoid burnout?

I don’t actually believe in writer’s block. In fact, I wrote a blog post quite a while ago saying pretty much that and why. To me, as I work at my writing career full time, it’s just like any other job. Some days, you’re just not in the mood as much as others. It’s as simple as that. But, just like a regular job, even on the off days, you’ve still got to give it your best shot. And if you only succeed in writing 74 and half words? So what? Just make sure they were worth it—either because they ROCK! or because you learned something from them—and you have no reason to be p****d at yourself.

Let’s talk about your UK-based werewolves–The Holloway pack. The pack’s stories, specifically Sean and Jem’s, occur in both contemporary times and historical periods, implying reincarnation or time travel. If reincarnation, I always wondered how it was they had the same names even though they were different people…or were they?

Ooooh, this is one of those dodgy questions, LOL. Nah, Jem & Sean are definitely reincarnated. No time travelling involved. Yep, for sure, most times reincarnation is involved in a story—or real life (if you’re a believer)—the soul doesn’t come back with the same name or body. That isn’t the case for Jem & Sean. They do return to life with their names from before and into replicating bodies. Don’t forget, an Eternal binding spell has been placed upon the duo, stating one cannot exist without the other—which means in order for either of them to survive in each lifetime, history must repeat itself and one has to be recognizable by the other if a reunion is to take place. So artistic license was definitely used in this area. 😉

Might there ever be futuristic / urban fantasy Sean and Jem like the Jetsons?

Oh lordy! Hehehehe, I’d never even given it a thought. Futuristic Sean stalking an unsuspecting Jem on hover-shoes? Too funny.

I guess that’s a possibly not. LOL.

When you sat down and wrote Darkness and Light, did you have all the books of the series at least loosely conceived or has each story come to you in succession? If the latter, is there a series arc that is unfolding?

I had absolutely nothing beyond Darkness & Light in my head when I set out. Jem & Sean’s tale came to me as a standalone and that’s exactly how I treated it. About a week after I’d finished, I realized I missed them, and within days the concept for Blue Moon was born—yet another story I planned to write as a standalone. Then, whilst writing that, more ideas began kicking up a storm in my mind, and I think I was about halfway through Holloway Pack 3: Caged when I fully understood the potential of the world and characters I’d created. At the moment, I’m now planning for there to definitely be six full length Holloway Pack novels to the series

If you were going to do a spin off series from your book, what character or characters would you “borrow” or make-up, drawing upon the same world, and what type of events would you write about?

I’m going to try responding to this without giving too much away. Rather than write a spin off from the Holloway pack series, I kind of ended up doing exactly this in reverse. You see, I have a short story that released on December 3rd also—it’s called Escort to Insanity, part of the Make Believe anthology, and is my first release that was not anything to do with Holloway Pack. By the time I’d finished, though, I’d fallen a little in love with these new characters and world, and I’m already planning ahead to a potential trilogy for the main duo. However, there are some smaller part characters in there who have somehow ended up woven into Holloway Pack 4. And that’s all I’m saying on that one.

Other than the Holloway Pack, what else is percolating in your imagination for future tackling. I hear rumors of a YA book or books. Anything you can share?

I have had YA ideas percolating. It started out as a singular idea, then another popped in, followed by another. Right now, I think I have four openings to YA ideas waiting for attention. But I told myself I’d finished Holloway Pack 4 first. When I do write my YA ideas, I plan for them to be standalones—and none of my ideas are anything alike, so I’m excited about each of them, all for different reasons.
