When I first started writing years ago (before I was published), I wrote on a romantic suspense level. Then I began reading contemporary romances and then delved into erotic romance. 

A close friend of mine, Tamaria Soana, has written a short story titled, The Calm Before The Storm. From now and the entire month of October, she is donating 100% of HER proceeds to a local women's shelter in her area. She is offering this great short story for 99cents and its available on Amazon.

The last two years of Erica Bloom’s life have been spent looking over her shoulder. Sawyer Marsh promised the day she filed for divorce and left him, that if he couldn't have her no one would. Even though Sawyer hasn’t contacted her in two years she’s still feared for her life. She remembers all too well the nightmare their marriage was and what it felt to be on the receiving end of his wrath.


The news of Sawyer’s engagement allows Erica to finally let her guard down and enjoy her new life and budding relationship with Brock Maxwell. 

While away relaxing at Brock’s vacation home on the Willow Lake, the past comes back to haunt her. Were the past few years just the calm before the storm?

A note from the author: This  short story was written  to raise awareness about Domestic Abuse. Statistics shows that every nine seconds in the United States a woman is assaulted or beaten by her partner. In October 100% of the proceed will go to my local woman shelter, then 50% for the life of the book.

Today I have an author friend on. She was here earlier this month telling us about Sinful Urges and today she is telling us about her new book, FemDocs. I downloaded this book a few weeks ago and devoured it in one sitting. I loved it! Its the perfect read when your mad at your significant other or you wonder what the heck is wrong with the male race. Be sure to check it out!

New Release!!! SciFi/Femdom

FemDocs by Sonia Hightower

It's the near distant future...and women are tired of being passive, of doting on men. It's time to put the cooking pots away.

A group of top-notch woman doctors plan to eliminate the male population one man at a time, luring them to sperm banks, using man's lust and greed against them.
By the time they are done, only the good, the kind-hearted, and the easily malleable will be left, allowing the women to form a new, respectful race of men.

But when one doctor falls for an agent, can she save him in time, or does it mean going against all she believes?

1. Tell us a little about yourself.

Thanks so much for having me and allowing me the opportunity to tell you about TAMING TALIA. I was first published in 2002 by a small press, and I’ve been “at it” ever since. I’m a retired RN and lived in Nashville, TN, for many years, but recently sold my house and moved back to my old home town in Western Kentucky. I have a Sheltie rescue named Cassie who keeps me moving.

2. What genre(s) do you write?

Erotic historical western romance and contemporary romantic suspense. I’ve also written one mystery/suspense.

3. Please tell us about your latest release TAMING TALIA and how you came up with the idea?

The hero of TAMING TALIA is a Pinkerton agent who appeared as a secondary character in SEDUCING THE SHERIFF. He was such a dynamic character that he had to have his own story. The original idea for the Loving the Lawman series came about after I watched HBO’s Deadwood. I loved the grittiness and the sexy lawman played by Timothy Olyphant.

4. Is it part of a series?

Yes, TAMING TALIA is book two of my Loving the Lawman series.

5. A must have snack while you write.

Chocolate and/or BBQ potato chips. And of course, Diet Coke.

I had a story brewing in my head for a little while, but left it untouched because life was happening and I had other stories I had to get done. Finally, there was nothing on my plate. I finally started the story and then there was no stopping me. This story flowed and just kept flowing. I decided to push my word goal. My longest published story is 30k, and at first I thought, let's get it to 45k. Then I pushed it to 50. And I'm glad to say at the moment the book is sitting at 50,200. :) Its in the hands of two beta readers right now. And I have a whole list of their notes from the beginning of their reading. So, I have things I need to change and reword. I'd like it if I could add at least another 1000, but you never know what's going to happen on the second draft. I edited this while I wrote it, so I've caught most of the sentences missing words and expanded on areas. 

Well, when I set out to write this book, I didn't plan on doing it in a month. But then, I decided, what the heck. Let's try. And here it is the 24th of September and I did it in less then 30 days. It feels awesome. I'm ahead of schedule. I've also decided to try my hand at one of the bigger publishers out there. The ones who will most likely reject me, but hey, I should at least try, right? Right! Must stay positive. They'll either want it or they won't. :)

So, now as I wait on feedback from my beta readers, I'm going to clean my house. You know, when you write all day there's no time for cleaning. I have a lot of cobwebs. The bathrooms might need my attention as well. Oh, the joys.

As soon as I have more details on Bidding Wars, I will pass it on!

Cranberry Blood (Book 1 in The Blood Series)
by Elizabeth Morgan

Blurb:

Killing Vampires? Easy. Tracking someone? Simple. Helping, and protecting a Vampire slayer . . . . Bloody hard work!

Thirteen years ago, Brendan Daniels made a deal with a psychic. In exchange for information on the whereabouts of a Rogue Werewolf, he promised to help and protect Sofia's granddaughter. Unfortunately, he had no idea what he was letting himself, or his Pack, in for.

Nothing about Heather is simple, from her weird dietary needs to her life’s mission. The girl can handle herself, but the promise to protect her soon becomes a need, and one that he can't fully understand.

Vampire Slayer. Born Infected. Blood addict . . . but not by choice.

Heather Ryan is the current Slayer in a long family line. Like all before her, she has spent her life searching for her ancestor, Marko Pavel, the Vampire her family has sworn to kill. If that isn't complicated enough, Heather is also a born "Infected" and to keep her from becoming insane or giving in to her darker side, she is on a very strict diet.

Now that her Grandmother Sofia has passed, it is up to Heather to take the family legacy into her own hands; Or at least, it would have been, if her Grandmother hadn't sent a Werewolf to help her.

What is the irritating Brendan supposed to help her with? Sofia never told either of them. Luckily, it doesn't take long for Heather and Brendan to find out that the Vampires have big plans, and that the Vamps have waited a long time for them both.

BLURB
After years of bad relationships, Ava Miller is finally living life for herself and isn’t going to let anyone get in the way. Her dream is to open a lingerie shop, and she has chosen Brookfield, Wyoming as her new home, where her dreams might just come true. Once she meets the town sheriff, though, she’s suddenly involved in a flirtatious battle for the right to open her store.

Seth Hampton is the town’s sheriff, and when Ava shows up, he’s not sure what hits him. He craves her, yet he can’t stand to allow that type of shop to open in his small town. However, he isn’t alone. Someone else wants Ava to leave town. Things take a turn when her shop is vandalized, and all evidence points to Seth.

Ava isn’t sure what to think. While Seth seems to be the only one with motives, something inside her believes he would never do it. Can Ava and Seth figure it out before one of them gets hurt?
