GIVEAWAY + Guest Post by Jocelynn Drake - "Getting in a Gage Frame of Mind"

Getting in a Gage Frame of Mind
by Jocelynn Drake
 
Writing a novel from first person point of view means trying to get into a specific frame of mind so that the narrator’s voice rings true and consistent through the entire story.  I’ve found that Gage, my tattoo artist narrator for the Asylum Tales series, I can most quickly return to his mindset through music.
 
Within the first few chapters of a new book, I usually start compiling a new music playlist.  This process has two purposes.  One is that the music starts to become associated with the character, past events, and things that will happen in the new book.  The other purpose is that it forces me to start contemplating various aspects of the character’s personality.
 
I think what surprised me was the stark difference between the music I listened to while I was working on the Dark Days series and the music I gravitate to for the Asylum Tales.  Both Mira’s voice and the storyline for Dark Days was considerably darker.  During the years I worked on those books, I listened to a great deal of Nine Inch Nails (only during plotting), Marilyn Manson, Korn, Linkin Park, and a handful of movie scores such as Underworld, Constantine, Queen of the Damned, Sleepy Hollow, and Dracula.
 
But when it comes to Gage, none of those bands and scores work.  By comparison, Gage is far more laid back and easy going.  The quirky tattoo artist also has hope that everything is going to work out in the end.  He also has a pretty good sense of humor, which has resulted in some interesting song choices.
 
When working with Gage, I was mainly drawn to Shaman’s Harvest and their Shine album, as well as a handful of Theory of a Deadman songs.  I think Gage would argue that “Sound of Madness” by Shinedown is a particularly poignant song for him.  During some of the darker chapters, I found myself drifting to Blue October’s Approaching Normal and Foiled albums.  Scenes set in the tattoo parlor were often written to the Violent Femmes.
 
Some other Gage songs and artists include:
 
“Real Thang” by Ty Stone
“Psycho” by Puddle of Mudd
“Shadow on the Run” by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
“Got You (Where I Want You)” by The Flys
“Laid” by James
A lot of Foo Fighters and a little Cage the Elephant
 
Right now, Bronx is trying to get Gage to listen to more Pink Floyd but Gage is fighting it.

Bio for Jocelynn Drake

Love comes in many varied forms. There is the love of family, love of country, and love of chocolate. But for Jocelynn Drake, one truly treasured love is the love of a good story. This Midwestern native spends the majority of her time lost in the strong embrace of a good book, whether she writing it or reading it doesn’t really matter. When she’s not hammering away at her keyboard, frowning at her monitor, or curled up with a book, she can usually be found cuddling with her cats, Harley and Demona, walking her dog Max, or flinging curses at the TV while playing a video game. Outside of books, cats, and video games, she is completely enamored of Bruce Wayne, Ezio Auditore, travel, explosions, fast cars, tattoos, and Anthony Bourdain (but only when he’s feeling really cranky).

Author of the Dark Days series

GIVEAWAY + Guest Post by Lolita Lopez

Long Distance Lovin'

Even couples living aboard space ships in the very distant future have to find ways to spice up their relationship. One of my absolute favorite scenes to write in Grabbed By Vicious takes a futuristic twist on the phone sex/Skype sex of today. 

When Vicious sends Hallie on a luxurious week-long trip to see her sister in the distant space colonies, he gets a little antsy. Seeing his beautiful new wife on his screen gives him one deliciously naughty idea. It doesn't take much persuading to convince Hallie to give in to his 
sinfully sexy idea…

***Excerpt from Grabbed By Vicious (Grabbed, Book 1)***

Vicious drummed his fingertips on his desk and stared at the vid screen as he waited for his call to Hallie to connect. He’d tried three times already but the satellites had been busy. It was late onboard the Valiant—he’d have to report for duty in less than five hours—but it wasn’t quite midnight at her hotel. He hated keeping track of time differences. Thank goodness there were apps for that.

The screen flashed green. He sat forward in anticipation. She’d been gone three days but it felt like a lifetime. Each call they’d shared had been quick and perfunctory. He was really hoping tonight’s call would be different.

Hallie’s grinning face filled the screen. “Vicious!”

“Hey, Kitten.” He smiled at her excitement. “How is your sister?”

“She’s great. Huge,” Hallie added with a laugh. “She’s having a girl, by the way.”

“That’s nice.” He wasn’t good at small talk, even with Hallie, but he tried. “The trip between the colonies went well? Were there any problems?”

“Calm down, Vicious. The trip was great. The hotel is beautiful, by the way. Did you know they have a spa? I let Bernie and Lenny talk me into going. It was so much fun—but I think kind of expensive.” She looked sheepish. “Sorry about that.”

“I don’t care about the money, Hallie. I’ve rarely spent any of my salary these last two decades. There’s plenty for you to spend. I’m glad you’re enjoying the hotel.”

“It’s nice but it would be nicer if you were here with me.”

His heart ached. “I miss you too.”

Hallie reached out to touch the camera on her end. Her fingertips filled the upper section of his screen. He reached out and placed his fingertips against hers. It wasn’t nearly enough but it helped to imagine her warm skin under his.

“We’re leaving the day after tomorrow. I think it’s an express transport ship. We should dock with the Valiant in twenty-six hours.” She frowned. “Or, at least, I think that’s what Terror said.”

“Where is Terror?” Vicious let his fingers drop from his screen. “I tried calling his room earlier but he didn’t answer.”

“Oh, I think he went out to check the perimeter or something.” She shrugged and waved. “You know how he is. Mr. Vigilant and all that.”

“Yes.” Vicious let his gaze roam his wife. “What are you wearing?”

Hallie laughed and blushed. “Vicious, behave!”

“I can’t. You drive me crazy. I am being serious, though. Is that one of my shirts?”

She nodded and touched the fabric. “It’s the last one you wore before I left.”

“Is that where it went?” He laughed. “I dug through our hamper for ten minutes this morning trying to match up all of my uniforms to be sent to the cleaners.”

“Sorry. I just wanted to be able to smell you while I was gone.”

Heat burned through him. Only Hallie could make such a sweet gesture seem so fucking sexy. 

“Take it off, Hallie.”

“What?” She looked scandalized. “Vicious, no!”

“Take it off. Let me see you.”

“You’re out of your mind. I’m not getting naked in front of this camera.”

“It’s a secure line, Hallie. Now let me see you.” He made sure to use that gruff tone that made 

her shiver…

GRABBED BY VICIOUS
Grabbed Series, Book 1

Hallie has never run so fast in her life. One of the frightening sky warriors from the warship Valiant is hot on her heels and intent on capturing her as his new bride. He takes her down and places his collar around her neck. With one word, he claims her.

Mine.

Born and bred for the military, Vicious has spent the last twenty-four years rising through the ranks. This dark-haired sprite ensnared him with one glance. Now she is his reward.

Despite her fear of Vicious, Hallie surrenders under his skillful hands and mouth. Vicious makes a promise to her. If she’ll submit to him, she’ll know only pleasure and comfort. After a lifetime of hardship, his offer tempts her greatly.

One night with Hallie and Vicious feels his protective instincts flaring. He’ll do anything to make her happy and keep her safe, even if that means surrendering his heart. Though he intended to master her, Vicious realizes it may be his sweet Hallie who masters him.

CAUGHT BY MENACE
Grabbed Series, Book 2

Menace's plan to catch a sweet, docile woman is shot to hell when he's tackled by a dark-haired beauty who wants to save her friend from being Grabbed. Refusing to leave the planet's surface empty handed, Menace claims the spitfire with his collar.

Naya clawed her way off the streets of Connor's Run and vowed to never let any man have control over her. She plans to make Menace so miserable he'll set her free but the ruggedly sexy warrior disarms her with his unexpected patience and kindness.

Against her better judgment, Naya surrenders to Menace's masterful hands and mouth. Submitting to her new husband brings her more pleasure and happiness than she'd ever imagined possible. For the first time in her life, she willingly trusts a man to protect her.

But when her past misdeeds catch up with her, Naya puts the depth and strength of that love to the test. Determined to show her he's worthy of her trust, Menace will stop at nothing to save her.

*Spoiler Free

If you love Highland heroes, you will love Lachlan. He's sexy and smart, and totally in control of making sure that he takes care of all his charges.

The story opens with Lachlan witnessing a murder that will come back to play a part in his romance with the lovely Lady Francie. She is recently widowed and a beloved member of King Henry's court. The king wants Lady Francie to go ahead of the princess to the Highlands where the princess is set to marry in what will become a unification of the two countries. Along the way, Francie comes to know Lachlan and fall in love with him but she thinks she's under a spell. Silly superstitions!! She also has to come to trust him with her secret which could cause her to lose her precious daughter.

Along the way, a plot is discovered against her and her daughter which could cause the two countries to go to war. But Lachlan is determined to protect both of them and keep them for himself. And as he falls in love with Francie, he is determined to make her love him right back!


This was a great story with plenty of action and relationship-building along the way. Lots of interesting things happen along Francie's self-discovery of herself and what love can be. Secrets are exposed but she finally gets her man.


While it might seem the story was a little long, it was very enjoyable. This book is a second in a trilogy but can easily be read as a stand-alone. I loved it enough that I'll be going back to read the first and then read the last. Enjoy!!

Sarah's Reviews: Wallbanger by Alice Clayton

1 Lovely Comments!





Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a KitchenAid mixer, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O. She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O.
Adding insult to O-less, since her move, she has an oversexed neighbor with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Each moan, spank, and–was that a meow?–punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has, yep, you guessed it, no O.
Enter Simon Parker. (No, really, Simon, please enter.) When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. Their late-night hallway encounter has, well, mixed results. Ahem. With walls this thin, the tension’s gonna be thick…
In her third novel, Alice Clayton returns to dish her trademark mix of silly and steamy. Banter, barbs, and strutting pussycats, plus the sexiest apple pie ever made, are dunked in a hot tub and set against the gorgeous San Francisco skyline in this hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight.

When I'd read all the book blurb I was very intrigued, I had never read anything of Alice Clayton's before and she already is popular on Goodreads and Amazon. 

Caroline has everything you could want except for the "O" and she has a wallbanging neighbour... so you know where this is going right? The book is hilariously funny, and I mean hilarious that if you decide to read this in public - be warned you will laugh out loud. The book is very sexy too, although mainly towards the end of the book so there is a whole load of sexual tension! But I have to say I was expecting more sex based on the title. 

It is really easy to read and you won't want to put it down and noting the price on Amazon it is worth the price for sure. I think you could re-read this several times, perfect holiday reading!

Release Day Blitz: Lucid by Natalie Roers

1 Lovely Comments!




Excerpt:

I gave her a funny look and loosened the drawstrings. A dark green stone 

fell out into my hand. It had little red splotches on it and was hung with three 

small chains from a silver crescent that looked like the moon. The metal of the crescent looked very old, as if it had been pounded by hand. 

“You made me zink of it when you mentioned your dreams earlier.” Kelly 
said. “I zought you might appreciate it.”

“What is it?” 

“It’s a talisman. According to legend, it was originally used by da Lucid as a gateway to da dream world.” 

“That’s really cool,” I said, “What’s it got to do with me?” 

“Talismans are very magical. Dey have da power to make extraordinary 
transformations. Why don’t you keep it for a while? See how it works?” 

“Oh, come on,” I disagreed. “You don’t really believe that, do you?” 

Doctor Kelly smiled. “I believe very much in powerful transformations.”
