"Shadow Marked"
A Demon Bound Novel
March 2010 from Signet Eclipse



So. Pretty. So pretty!! And now, the blurbage:

The Devil and Miss Quinn

Samantha Quinn has been in the dark since age six, when her parents sacrificed her sight in a satanic ritual. She is trying to get over her demonic past, but horrific lifelike visions haunt her. Her intuition gets stronger and clearer with a wild, adrenaline-fueled sexual encounter with Jace, her brother’s childhood friend. And now Samantha is more tormented than ever by what she can “see”—and by what she felt in that forbidden encounter...

Samantha must now prevent the deaths she sees in her premonitions and protect her body from the same demon from her twisted childhood. Her dark curse reveals that Jace will be the next victim, and it is crystal clear that she must destroy the demon to protect her love.

Happy Monday,

Men and Men and Women and Men, oh my!

And now, as promised, what those pesky slashes used to describe erotic romances really mean:

M/F/M--male/female/male

This means that there will be three people getting some loving in the same bed (or other erotic venue of the writer's choice). Both men will be making love to the woman, but they will not be making love with each other. In this scenario, the men in question are both straight (and sometimes brothers, a popular erotic romance convention that honestly skeeves me a little bit. I don't want to think about family in bed together, but that's just me.).

I have actually never written a pure m/f/m, though I've written several menage stories. I find it rather difficult to believe two men are going to be comfortable enough to be naked in bed together, both having sex with the same woman, and not also be comfortable touching each other. I guess I feel if you're open minded enough to share...you would probably also be open minded enough to think of making love as making love, regardless of what parts you're touching/employing to do so.

But that's just me. I realize erotic romance is largely escapist reading, so whatever floats your boat!

M/M/F-male/male/female

This means that the two men and one woman will all be loving on each other--most likely. This could also occasionally mean that one man will be loving on one man (who's gay) and one woman, but usually it means everyone is touching and feeling and lusting freely.

F/M/F-female/male/female

Two straight women loving on one man. Never written this or read it. I like more men than women in my menage and mores. Again, just my personal preference.

F/F/M-female/female/male

Two gay women (or one gay and one straight) who also have a taste for man flesh.

Hopefully that helps! Would write more, but must run! Busy Saturday.

Have a great weekend and see you Monday,

Man Meat Monday: Feeeellings Edition

The Many Moods of Sven.

Angry!



Sad...



Itchy...



Happy!



Ah! Never underestimate the power of accessories. Go forth, Sven, and spread thy cheerful scarf-loving grin amongst the multitudes.

And...end manmeat!

Later in the week, I'll be sharing the meanings of those pesky--"m/m/f" or "m/f/m"--labels for those of us new to the "who's kissing and touchin' on who?" menage action in erotic romance. I may also do a personal update-y sort of post though, really, I think I can sum up life in a few bullet points:

1. Hubs and baby and number one son are precious and wonderful. Stepdaughters are also well and precious (though teen-aged).

2. Stupid house still hasn't sold.

3. I'm working too hard and feel vaguely twitchy (same old, same old), but also very grateful for wonderful family and precious offspring and great hubs.

The end. On with your Monday!

For Future Smut Writers of America

Hey People!

In the past few weeks I've had several requests from people just starting out on their erotic romance writing journey asking me the difference between erotic romance, erotica, and porn, and feeling nervous that they won't know which they're writing until they are done with the manuscript. I hastened to assure them this was absolutely not true. There are very clear differences between each of those genres. One is not the other or really easily confused with the others.

So, here they are, for the future Smut Writers of America--and I say smut with the deepest fondness. I love reading and writing good, sexy, romantic smut--my humble attempt at definitions. (These are pulled from all the much smarter people I've heard speak about the genre in the past several years as erotic romance has really come into its own.)

erotic romance--any super sexy story that focuses primarily on the monogamous relationship between the hero and heroine and has a happy ever after ending (even if that HEA is between several partners as in menage)

erotica--a super sexy story that focuses on the erotic journey of sexual self-discovery of the heroine. She does not have to be monogamous with one man in these types of stories and they do not necessarily have to have a happy ending, though many do.

porn--a story that lacks romance or much of a story, period, in which many people are eff-ing for eff-ing's sake.

Now, of course, we could go much deeper in defining each category, but I feel these defs cover the basics. As for the genre of my books--in case you are not a reader of Anna J. Evans' books, which, you should of course remedy right away ;)--I'd say my stories are all erotic romance, even the one Exotica I have available over at Ellora's Cave. I love my happy ever after and seeing my heroine settle down with a good man or two.

Any questions? Corrections? Thoughts?

Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you all Monday!
