<p><b>My First Time </b></p>
<p>Celebrating the launch of my first story with Liquid Silver Books, I’m blogging about other Firsts of mine.</p>
<p>Sex. So natural. So instinctive. Something most adults on the planet have tried at least once… so why is it so damned hard to write?</p>
<p><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/my-first-time-v2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2680" alt="my first time v2" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/my-first-time-v2.jpg?w=300&#038;h=300" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The first sex scene I wrote was very vague. Remember, this was some fifteen years ago when even the most titillating of bodice rippers usually skimmed over the act itself. I wanted my experienced hero to be passionate and intense, but since he was seducing a virgin, I needed him to be gentle too.</p>
<p>I spent days writing their first scene together. No matter what I did, it felt wooden and awkward. I ended up putting &lt; <i>insert sex</i> &gt; and left it on the backburner while I rocked on with the story. Their second coupling was just as difficult to write and I struggled. The story continued with another placeholder &lt; <i>insert sex </i>&gt; and then another further on, and finally I reached the last page. I hesitated over typing ‘The End’. After all, I hadn’t finished and my leading characters had been left hanging several times (so they <i>really</i> hadn’t finished), but in all other respects the story was complete. What did I do?</p>
<p>I went back, added some general skimming and left it all high level and light… then filed it away on my hard drive and left it.</p>
<p><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/first-time-image-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2681" alt="first time image 2" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/first-time-image-2.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>The next manuscript had an equally light touch in the bedroom, and the one after that. It was only after taking a break for a few years, reading zillions of books, and the explosion of smexy into general availability, that I had the courage to go back and rework my dusty manuscripts. I can happily report they are much more exciting now, and might even get published. <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I wish I could tell you that writing sex scenes now is easy, but you know what? It’s not. I still agonise over them and take days to write them, revising and re-revising several times before I’m done. I’d chat with one of my critique partners about IKEA-sex, you know, insert Tab-A into Slot-B, rotate and re-insert at a different angle, and I developed a routine. Layering. Yep, like with clothes, I write the scene in layers, taking a break between each one:</p>
<p>1.      <strong>The bra &amp; panties layer</strong> – the basic stuff</p>
<p>Who and where, general mood and the physical details (Tab-A, Slot-B and so on).</p>
<p>2.      <strong>The slinky tank top layer</strong> – details</p>
<p>The way her breath hitches, the intensity on his face, how she digs her nails into his back.</p>
<p>3.      <strong>The t-shirt and jeans layer</strong> – all the senses</p>
<p>The sound of the bed creaking, her heart racing, the perfume from the lilac bush underneath the bedroom window, the taste of his skin.</p>
<p>4.      <strong>The cashmere sweater layer</strong> -  emotion</p>
<p>What he’s feeling when she closes her hand around him. How she feels when he sinks his teeth into her shoulder.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At this point it’s almost done, just one final read through and it’s ready for my critique partner to rip to shreds… and then I revise it some more.</p>
<p>So no, it doesn’t get any easier, but at least I have a way to manage it now <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you write smexy, how do you approach the sex scenes? Or are they easy? Is is just me that feels like an absolute novice every time my couple start bumping uglies?</p>
<p>Here’s a snippet from <i>Wolf At The Door, </i>so you get to see the fnished product <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>*</p>
<p>The smell of her arousal was intoxicating. Jake inhaled deeply into his lungs, letting her fragrance roll around his senses. So she didn’t take orders well? He chuckled to himself. Taming his Mate would be most pleasurable. How far could he push her? He ran his tongue along the edge of the lacy triangle and then tugged gently with his teeth on one of the wispy ribbons. It fell undone and he nosed the scrap of fabric aside, hearing her breath catch. Dear God. She was totally smooth. He knew some women waxed and shaved but hadn’t met one who did until now.</p>
<p>Moisture glistened on her pussy lips, and he blew a gentle breath over them, feeling her tense beneath him. As though he had all the time in the world, he licked a leisurely path along her slit, his head spinning at her taste. It exploded onto his tongue like the finest nectar, sweet and honeyed. He caught a movement out of the corner of his eye and saw that she’d lifted one hand. Smiling, he stopped and waited.</p>
<p>“Hands, <i>Cariad</i>.” It was a quiet reminder and she made a frustrated noise, but dropped her hand to the floor. He watched her curl her fingers into a tight fist and only then did he resume.</p>
<p>Satisfied she would behave this time, he pressed a series of openmouthed kisses over her lower stomach, inching closer to her pussy. Already, her clit peeked from its folds, pink and swollen. <i>So responsive</i>. He wasn’t sure how long he could wait, but he’d try to torture her a little first.</p>
<p>A soft breath over her clit made her tremble, her knees shaking and hands fisting tighter. She moaned. “Jake, don’t tease.” He ignored her plea and moved south, sucking on her pussy lips, one at a time. More of her cream coated his tongue and he closed his eyes, savoring her. “Please, Jake … <i>please</i>.” Need tightened in his belly and he tried to tamp it down, but it was hard. His cock pulsed, and his balls had tightened to the point of pain, but he carried on teasing. She writhed under his mouth, her muscles straining, her ass rigid in his hands. He dug his fingers into her flesh and, at the same time, sucked hard on her clit.</p>
<p>Her cry rang around the room and she bucked fiercely, but he held her still, licking and nuzzling as she convulsed, filling his mouth with her nectar as she came. He gorged, greedy for her cream and knowing that in a matter of minutes he’d finally be inside her.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/rachel1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2016 alignleft" alt="Rachel1" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/rachel1.jpg?w=529"   /></a>I missed a post day at the beginning of the month.  I hate that.  But mostly I hate when there is more drama and conflict in my life than in my work in progress.  I can hardly remember what day of the week it is let alone what I supposed to and want to get done.</p>
<p>My elder son was bar mitzvah&#8217;d this weekend and my younger son saw his movie acting debut in a local cable film.  This was on Saturday.  Before that 1) my father in law died in January 2) my mother in law died less than two weeks ago 3) I prepared for Saturday&#8217;s reception for 90 guests which had more details than I expected (of course) 4) I finished editing two anthologies with Scott Goudsward (Once Upon an a Apocalypse. Volume I &#8211; Zombie Fairytales Volume II &#8211; Lovecraft Fairytales 5) I completed the 30 articles for the non-fiction newsletter I am the editor for. 6) I edited the book I acquired for Ravenous Romance.  Oh, and in between all this was the regular day to day stuff of life and homeschooling.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m exhausted.<a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/exhausted-woman.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-2689 alignleft" alt="exhausted-woman" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/exhausted-woman.jpg?w=85&#038;h=143" width="85" height="143" /></a></p>
<p>Too much of a roller coaster for me.  I&#8217;d like that for my characters &#8211; not in my life.  I am so ready for calm waters, smooth sailing and any other cliché that involves quiet and a general lack of turbulence.</p>
<p>I want to get back to my writing projects, the things that fill me up and make me feel as though I am smiling inside and out.</p>
<p>And leave the drama for the characters I create and the books I read.  Thank you!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a style="font-style:inherit;line-height:1.625;text-decoration:underline;" href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/eva2.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2526 alignleft" style="border-color:#bbbbbb;background-color:#eeeeee;" alt="Eva2" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/eva2.png?w=529"   /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-style:inherit;line-height:1.625;">Oh my, my, my. The attraction we have for strippers, no? </span></p>
<p>They&#8217;re hot. They&#8217;re sexy. They give full-frontal nudity and have no shame about baring it all. Other &#8211; straight &#8211; women can see strippers as powerful female icons comfortable with their own sexuality. Or, if they happen to be butch &#8211; and gay &#8211; as *hot* sexual objects to desire and fantasize over.</p>
<p>In my latest work, a butch female &#8211; she dresses in men&#8217;s clothes and wears <em>sensible shoes</em> &#8211; falls for a tall, dark-haired, gorgeous stripper who&#8217;s all feminine beauty. She&#8217;s Alyce&#8217;s fantasy woman. Her perfect woman. And she lusts for Contessa every Friday night from behind the glass:</p>
<p><em>The pounding continued as Contessa opened her legs, held onto the bar and squatted, showing off a bright red thong. Alyce would bet she wore no matching bra from the way her full breasts swayed under the fabric. Desire pierced her gut, and she pressed herself against the one-way-glass not caring when it had last been cleaned. All she wanted was to be closer to the most gorgeous woman she’d ever laid eyes on. </em></p>
<p><em>Contessa stood again, this time starting to move with the music. She strutted around the pole on three-inch red heels, swinging her hips. The woman had rhythm.</em></p>
<p><em>Alyce was in awe as she began to toss her hair, working her body against and away from the pole, then around, and around until she got dizzy watching. One look at Contessa’s heaving chest told her she got good exercise performing. But if she had her way, she’d hold her in her arms and show her a different exercise they could do together.</em></p>
<p><em>Contessa came down off the stage, strode to Room One and opened her robe.</em></p>
<p><em>“Damn, it,” she hissed. “Come over here and do that.”</em></p>

<p><span style="font-style:inherit;line-height:1.625;">Though Alyce is likely the only female in the private club, she nonetheless knows exactly what she likes. Her gaze is riveted to the dark beauty, her thoughts and feelings fully engaged. All through the performance, her desire for Contessa never wavers. But she believes it would take a miracle for her attraction to be returned.</span></p>
<p>Little does she know&#8230;attraction sometimes works both ways!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the cover. This is part I in a III part series dubbed &#8220;The Sturdy Accountant.&#8221; <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/17702587.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2657" alt="17702587" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/17702587.jpg?w=225&#038;h=300" width="225" height="300" /></a>Kenzie propositions a sexy stranger in a coffee shop to prove to herself she’s capable of taking a risk. She doesn’t expect him to be sitting across from her the following Monday as her newest client. Even worse, she can’t stop thinking about what might have happened between them on a personal level if it weren’t for their professional relationship. He knows how to push her buttons, and she doesn’t want him to stop.</p>
<p>Scott has built his software company from the ground up to escape things like stuffy old men telling him how to behave, so he loathes his board of directors ordering him to make the public forget he doesn’t have a verbal filter. When his new publicity manager is the almost-fling he never expected to see again, he seizes the opportunity to have fun and still pretend he’s complying with the board’s edict.</p>
<p>Giving in to desire could mean both their jobs, but each “one last time” always leads to another. Now they have to decide what they’re willing to sacrifice to indulge this conflict of interest.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p><em>His smile looked painted on. &#8220;It may have escaped your attention, but your contract cost us a lot of money. I&#8217;m trying to get some use out of it. Isn&#8217;t this what you wanted?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>I have a weakness for corporate-romances. Maybe it stems from years of working in nosy offices where the grapevine reports news faster than the management, and everyone knows at least <i>one</i> person that’s doing the dirty on the side. It’s an environment where illicit romances thrive faster than you can say &#8220;Toner Running Low&#8221;. The little accidental touches by the water cooler, and the steamy looks in the kitchen that are nothing to do with the leftovers-for-lunch bubbling away in the microwave.</p>
<p>And what could be more illicit than the PR girl hired to clean up the image of the loud-mouthed executive? She’s being paid to make him publicly acceptable to his board of directors, not to sleep with him. If her boss finds out she’s mixing business with pleasure, she’ll be fired. If his board finds out, they’ll assume he’s thumbing his nose at them – again.</p>
<p>This is the delightful premise of Allyson Lindt’s <i>Conflict</i><i> of Interest</i>, the first in her new series <i>Bits &amp; Bytes</i>.</p>
<p>To make it even more tantalising, Kenzie has already met Scott in their local coffee shop, where they had an almost-thing one rainy day.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2653" alt="5647427_s" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/5647427_s.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" width="200" height="300" /><i>She approached the empty spot before she could talk herself out of it and forced confidence into her voice. “Excuse me.”</i></p>
<p><i>“Hmmm?” He barely moved his head, immersed in something on his phone.</i></p>
<p><i>“Is this seat taken?”</i></p>
<p><i>He pulled his attention away from the screen long enough to let his gaze rake over her. A flicker of a smile tugged up the corner of his mouth before he turned back to the phone. “It is now, help yourself.”</i></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>He offers her a ride home since it’s raining heavily.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p><i><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/17851350_s.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2655" alt="17851350_s" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/17851350_s.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" width="300" height="200" /></a></i></p>
<p><i>How had she ended up in this man’s car in the pouring rain, toeing the line of indecent conversation and fantasizing about stripping off his wet clothes?</i></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>They get interrupted before they get too far and go their separate ways. <i>Phew</i>. I was fanning myself at their close encounter, and that was before the story really got started. I adored Scott straight away. He’s noisy and confident, says what he’s thinking (usually without filtering it) and the kind of sexy geek that really has no idea how gorgeous he is. His social skills need a little polishing, but since he works as a game designer, he spends most of his time with other geeks anyway.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p><i>Disbelief mingled with laughter. “Are you always so forward?”</i></p>
<p><i>Frequently, to the dismay of his board of directors. A shadow passed through the shop as clouds covered the sun outside. “Only until it gets me slapped. You?”</i></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>I dived into this book expecting a light and frothy read, but then Allyson Lindt side-swiped me. I didn’t even see it coming. One minute they’re flirting in the office and then, <i>boom</i>! I caught a glimpse of the real Scott lurking underneath his scruffy t-shirted exterior. A flash of vulnerability.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/12597770_s.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2649" alt="12597770_s" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/12597770_s.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><em>For a moment – as he frequently did during these meetings – Scott wished he still drank. He focused on his water and hoped he could be polite when appropriate.</em></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And just as quickly, it was gone and Mr Cocky was back in his place. I was officially hooked.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>*</p>
<p><i>“As you’re so fond of pointing out, I approached you.”</i></p>
<p><i>He stared back in disbelief, his familiar crooked smile in place. “And you’ve also confessed it was completely out of character for you.”</i></p>
<p><i>“Does it matter if I’d ever done it before?”</i></p>
<p><i>“It does to me.” He picked at his vegetables. “I like thinking I was your first for something. It’s good for a guy’s ego, right?”</i></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>The romance leaps forward, staggers back a pace or two and then marches on again, but always with the realisation that Kenzie is in big trouble if their relationship comes to light. I really felt for Scott. He thought he was making headway with her, only to be shoved back in his place, time and again. Kenzie is hard work, and every time Scott asked himself if she was worth the angst, I felt his pain.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p><i><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/15818881_s.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2651" alt="15818881_s" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/15818881_s.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" width="300" height="200" /></a></i><i>“It’s all about appearances.”</i></p>
<p><i>“Of course.” He traced a finger up the back of her bare neck. “Appearances are important.” His voice was low and smooth. “So help me out because I think I’m still missing something.” His fingertips glided along her collarbone. “I’m not allowed to flirt where someone might see.” He trailed up her jaw. “But behind closed doors you can do whatever you want.” His breath brushed the outside of her ear. “And then you throw a fit when I finally act the way you tell me to.”</i></p>
<p>*</p>
<p><i><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/8107183_s.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2656" alt="8107183_s" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/8107183_s.jpg?w=273&#038;h=300" width="273" height="300" /></a></i><i>“So I can have you right now?” His hungry growl rolled through the room. “While no one is watching?”</i></p>
<p><i>She wanted to be bold, aggressive, in control. But she wanted him more. “Yes.”</i></p>
<p><i>He let go and stepped away until the door stopped him. He clasped his hands behind his back, gaze never leaving her. “So you can keep your job and still get what you want? So you don’t have to tell anyone the scruffy-looking nerfherder with the massive ego made you scream in pleasure just by talking to you?”</i></p>
<p><i></i></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>At somewhere around 80% (I can’t be sure, I was devouring the pages too quickly), things between Scott and Kenzie go from <em>not-too-good</em>, to <em>what-the-fuck-just-happened</em>, and I couldn’t put my Kindle down.</p>
<p>*</p>
<p><i>“I told you when you hired me it had to be clear you had done so because of my professional skills. Now I have to reassure my employer that I’m actually doing my job instead of playing some executive’s afternoon distraction.”</i><i></i></p>
<p>*</p>
<p>Allyson Lindt drew the characters very well. Yes, there were misunderstandings, but they didn’t feel forced or contrived. Scott had his secrets and his reasons for keeping them, while Kenzie was a much more open character. The sex was hot! This is a fantastic steamy debut, so get your hands on a copy now, before the author gets famous and her books shoot up in price :-)</p>
<p>I can reveal there is a sequel on the way, featuring Kenzie’s nothing-like-her twin sister, Riley. I will be watching out for that as soon as it’s available <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/wpid-aaasorcha_finalsig.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2277 alignleft" alt="wpid-aaasorcha_finalsig.png" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/wpid-aaasorcha_finalsig.png?w=529"   /></a>Okay, lots of things are sexy. But so is learning. I love a good online class and often learn a lot from them which is why I am trying my hand at teaching one. I&#8217;m really excited about putting together the class lessons and then potentially teaching it to others. What? Oh! You want to know what the class is about?</p>
<p><strong>Pumping Up The Sexual Volume. </strong></p>
<p>The class is all about how to write sex scenes. Of course, I like it hot so that&#8217;s where I focus, but really the purpose is to help anyone stuck on writing sex and help them work through it. I&#8217;ve heard tons of writers say they skip writing them until last or they have to struggle through writing them with the aid of a bottle of wine&#8230;sometimes two. LOL!</p>
<p>Writing sex should be fun!</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2668" alt="glasses-learningissexy" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/glasses-learningissexy-e1368755332276.jpg?w=300&#038;h=77" width="300" height="77" /></p>
<p>So, I endeavor to break my process down into steps and tools that an author can use to write sex scenes. The class is meant for anyone looking to ramp up the heat level of their writing, is looking to push their writing boundaries, or newbies who have never attempted to write a sex scene.</p>
<p>This course gets down and dirty. We talk body parts and we do a lot of writing. Because the best way to figure out how to do it is&#8211;to do it! I will be teaching it later this summer for RWA San Diego and it will be open to the public for a fee. When I have the details I will be sure to post them in case anyone might be interested.</p>
<p>Happy writing!</p>

Like Lolita posted about yesterday, this time next week I’ll be sipping a cocktail </span>beach side<span style="font-style:inherit;line-height:1.625;"> in Kauai. The food, the beaches, the spa day <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  I’m so excited! VACATION!!</span></p>
<p>Needless to say, it’s been hard to keep my mind on track this week. I should be pounding the keyboard working to the end of my first draft, but all I can think about is sandy beaches and wondering how much sunblock I should pack—I have ridiculously pale skin LOL! I feel like a little kid all hopped up and waiting for the bell to ring on the last day of school. I just wanna go already.</p>
<p><span style="font-style:inherit;line-height:1.625;">Anyone been to Kauai? Got any tips on what I have to pack or sights I must see? Not that I need any encouragement on the distraction front. I’m quite capable of slacking off all on my own <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p>I promise to post some awesome pics of our vacation next month. Because I know ya&#8217;ll are curious and not to rub it in or anything :-p</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So this week was supposed to be our first big vacation since kiddo was born. We were going to celebrate 12 whole months without a surgery or hospitalization&#8211;but DH fell down the stairs and the inlaws got a tummy bug so we&#8217;re now enjoying a staycation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But a girl can dream! Instead of reclining on the couch, I wish I was floating in this pristine water&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_2636" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/beach-haveseen-bw.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-2636 " alt="(c) haveseen - Fotolia.com" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/beach-haveseen-bw.jpg?w=300&#038;h=198" width="300" height="198" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(c) haveseen &#8211; Fotolia.com</p></div>
<p>Or maybe watching this guy walk out of the surf..</p>
<div id="attachment_2637" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/outofwater-curaphotography.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2637" alt="(c) curaphotography - Fotolia.com" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/outofwater-curaphotography.jpg?w=300&#038;h=210" width="300" height="210" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(c) curaphotography &#8211; Fotolia.com</p></div>
<p>Or this dead sexy bastard&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_2638" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 292px"><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/waterbriefs-tankist276-bw.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2638" alt="(c) tankist276 - Fotolia.com" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/waterbriefs-tankist276-bw.jpg?w=529"   /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(c) tankist276 &#8211; Fotolia.com</p></div>
<p>Or maybe sneaking in some smexy times on a secluded beach&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_2639" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/sexybeach-ivan-montero-bw.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2639" alt="(c) -ivan-montero - Fotolia.com" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/sexybeach-ivan-montero-bw.jpg?w=300&#038;h=300" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(c) -ivan-montero &#8211; Fotolia.com</p></div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/silken-sheets-griffin.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2447" alt="Silken Sheets.Griffin" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/silken-sheets-griffin.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" width="200" height="300" /></a> I think I’m part of a majority when I say that I will buy a book from an unknown author if it has an awesome cover. I like titles as well, they of course will tell me what the book is about, but the cover will show me.</p>
<p>I’m a fan of covers with models entwined or placed in seductive poses. The freaky side of me likes to be affirmed that there will be sex in the book and hopefully a lot of it <i>with</i> explicit details. But with the popularity of <i>Twilight</i> and <i>50 Shades of Grey</i> covers have moved to obscure objects photographed with artistic eyes.</p>
<p>Boo!</p>
<p>I would have loved to have seen the Cullen kids, shirtless and exposing chiseled abs and fang. Who’s with me on a vote to have Christian Grey featured, shirtless (yes, I like shirtless) and with a nipple clamp (of course) and maybe biting his lower lip…and also holding a whip. <i>I can’t forget a whip.</i> Maybe his jeans will be hanging low on his hips and unbuttoned, revealing a fine line of dark hair leading a path to below his zipper… <i>*fans self*</i> But I digress. Can we please get back to hot and sexy covers?</p>
<p>For both of my books with Ellora’s Cave my main objective was to make the covers hot as hell. <i>Did I succeed?</i></p>

I&#8217;m Eva Lefoy and I&#8217;m very happy to be here today, introducing myself as the newest member &#8230;<p><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/hello-darlings/">Continue reading &#187;</a></p><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=silkensheetsandseduction.wordpress.com&#038;blog=25789745&#038;post=2538&#038;subd=silkensheetsandseduction&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-2526 alignleft" style="font-style:inherit;line-height:1.625;" alt="Eva2" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/eva2.png?w=529"   /></p>
<p>Well hello there!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m Eva Lefoy and I&#8217;m very happy to be here today, introducing myself as the newest member of Silken Sheets &amp; Seduction. Did you see my photo to the left? It&#8217;s kind of sexy, requires a little bit of exercise and there&#8217;s a snappy looking gal in the photo. That probably describes my mindset quite a bit. I tend to be:</p>
<p>1. Sexy! I like to write sexy scenes and let my imagination run wild. It might be M/M, M/M, F/F or any combination thereof. Keeping the body parts straight is always a concern of mine!</p>
<p>2. I like a bit of exercise. Yep. Yesterday I went on a 2-hour hike and had a very good time. I also run and do yoga. Of course that doesn&#8217;t prevent me from loving wine and beer and chocolate and cheese! Talk to me about cheese and I&#8217;ll write you one sexy story!</p>
<p>3. A snappy personality. Not pushy. Not over bearing. Just &#8230; energetic and witty. At least I like to think so! On certain days my husband might call it exhausting&#8230; <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So there&#8217;s a sneak peek at me. My first book was published in March by Decadent Publishing and involved whipped cream, a sexy chef and a BBW (big beautiful woman). It&#8217;s called Sweet Cravings and it&#8217;s available <a href="http://www.decadentpublishing.com/product_info.php?products_id=738&amp;osCsid=5j0jv974jftrpfauf43bu72qq4">here</a>.</p>
<p>My next book with Decadent is already in the works and I will have a cover reveal for you soon! It&#8217;s called Lover Enslaved: 24 Hours in Mumbai. It&#8217;s a M/M story set in Mumbai, India. If you liked Slumdog Millionaire give this one a try. *wink*</p>
<p>And I have a F/F story (see, I told you I was all over the place with my dirty smutty imagination!) I&#8217;m self-pubbing a.s.a.p. Cover and except soon.</p>
<p>But wait &#8230; there&#8217;s more! Whew. Gotta save something for next time though.</p>
<p>See you soon!</p>
<p>Eva</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/aaaguest_sig.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-274 aligncenter" alt="Guest Sig" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/aaaguest_sig.png?w=529"   /></a></p>
<p>Hi, my name is Shiela Stewart and I write paranormal romance. I am also a demon. Nah, just kidding. I do love to write about them though. In my Demon series its pretty cut and dry. Demon needs love, finds love, turmoil ensues and everything ties up at the end in a nice romantic bow. But I thought to myself, don’t angels need love to. Who would an angel fall for? Of course, the first thing that came to mind was a demon. And what better scenario than have him be partnered with an angel. Decadents 1 Night Stand series is great. The premise is Madame Eve sets couples up on a 1 night stand that leads to a happily ever after ending. The Naughty Angel fit right into that series.</p>
<p>I had so much fun writing this story. I could let my inner demon out with all its naughtiness and toy with a pure as they come angel. Edison Grey is as naughty as they come and refuses to be anything but when he’s pared with Ariel Raine and pure angel. The interaction between these two was a joy to write and I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed creating it.</p>
<p>But before I give you a glimpse into the weirdness of my brain and the story that unfolded I want to invite you to participate in Decadent’s A Buck a Book Win a Nook give away. Yep, they’re giving away a nook, but in order to be eligible, you must follow me, as well as the other authors participating and leave a comment with your name and email address.</p>
<p>Now I give you, The Naughty Angel.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.decadentpublishing.com/product_info.php?products_id=592&amp;osCsid=i6r90neteecmu6518nj01qllm2"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2607 alignright" alt="ss_The Naughty Angel_MD" src="http://silkensheetsandseduction.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/ss_the-naughty-angel_md.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Blurb:</p>
<p>Even the good turn bad sometimes.</p>
<p>A life of servitude to God has left Ariel Raine feeling worn out. Being an Angel isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. Day in and day out of the same routine tends to get tedious. Wanting some spice in her life, she sets her mind on discovering the allure of a sexual encounter. With the help of Madam Eve and her 1 Night Stand dating services, Ariel is about to have her world rocked.</p>
<p>Only problem is…her match is a demon.</p>
<p>Edison Grey has relied on dating services to claim minions for not only him, but for his master Satan as well. 1 Night Stand just happens to be this week’s preference. No use wasting a good service, Edison decides to have a little fun while he’s at it.</p>
<p>Stripping an angel of her purity is an added bonus.</p>
<p>What happens between Ariel and Edison is a surprise to both. Even with the threat of punishment looming over top of them.</p>
<p>Excerpt:</p>
<p>“Stay the night with me.”</p>
<p>Despite the flutter in her heart, she stood her ground. “I will do no such thing.” She wanted to rip his tongue out when he made that infernal clucking noise again. But there was no way she was walking away with him thinking her a coward. She did have pride, after all. “All right. I will stay, but you keep your distance.” She pulled her wings back in and grabbed her bag. She huffed, as she made her way to the sitting area.</p>
<p>“Party pooper. I don’t know about you, but I could use a stiff one,” he said.</p>
<p>“Stiff one?”</p>
<p>His brilliant blue eyes glowed. “A drink, strong drink. Would you care for a stiff one?”</p>
<p>“I don’t drink alcohol.”</p>
<p>“I wasn’t referring to booze that time, sweetie.” He clutched his crotch, his tone mocking her.</p>
<p>“You’re disgusting.” She didn’t know why that surprised her. His kind were vulgar, repulsive, crude, and despicable, just to name a few of their better qualities. Ariel took a seat on the sofa and watched him carefully. She never let her guard down in front of an enemy.</p>
<p>Laughing, he poured his drink then much to her surprise, plopped down beside her. “Should we see what’s on TV?”</p>
<p>“Do as you wish. I have no desire to partake in such mundane festivities.”</p>
<p>“My, that stick up your ass is jammed in there tight.”</p>
<p>“I have no stick up my…derriere, and how dare you insinuate such a thing.”</p>
<p>He patted her leg and made her pulse speed up. “Oh darling, you are too much fun. Okay, let’s see what we have here.”</p>
<p>He selected a channel called Adult Entertainment while she wondered how long she had to stick around to prove her point. He had said all night, but surely an hour was enough. Ariel lifted a magazine from the coffee table and flipped the pages as he perused the selection on the TV screen.</p>
<p>She could admit to herself that she found him attractive, but she couldn’t tell him. His dreamy stare made her heart flutter, not to mention the way it sent moist heat in her loins. Her pulse had quickened when he’d touched her leg. What a horrible creature. He sat on the sofa, staring at the TV. One hand held a glass, which rested on his thigh, the other lay on his crotch. Her mouth watered. His long legs stretched out before him, his feet on the coffee table.</p>
<p>Relaxing, she let her gaze fall to the TV screen. She bolted forward. The male and female actors behaved like wild animals, their hands tearing away the clothing concealing their bodies. “What in the heavens are you watching?”</p>
<p>“It’s called pornography. Damn, that chick has nice tits!”</p>
<p>“That’s repugnant.”</p>
<p>“That’s sex, baby. She’s hot and wet, and I would so love to jam my dick into her.”</p>
<p>She jumped to her feet, repulsed by his comment. “I refuse to be a party to this.” Her rage showed once more when her wings broke loose. Their flapping didn’t deter him from making the clucking noises again. “Stop that!”</p>
<p>“Not going to happen as long as you continue to be such a prude. Sit down and enjoy the show.”</p>
<p>“I will not, and don’t you dare make that infuriating noise again.”</p>
<p>“If it walks like a chick and talks like a chick then it’s a chicken.”</p>
<p>“You’ve spoken the metaphor wrong. It’s a duck, not a chicken.” <i>What a buffoon</i>.</p>
<p>“Semantics.” He began to flap his arms like wings.</p>
<p>“Stop it!” He grabbed her by the wrist and yanked her down onto his lap so quickly she barely had time to think. The warm sensation in her loins struck even harder, and her heart began to hammer. “Release me!” Yet, she remained there, not even trying to break his hold. He pulled her closer so that their chests bumped and his breath scorched her sensitive skin. “Prove you’re not a prude. Watch the show with me.”</p>
<p>She planted a hand on his chest. “It’s disgusting.”</p>
<p>He held it securely in place “That’s what you came here to do, is it not?”</p>
<p>She hissed at him. He bared his long fangs. His eyes glowed the translucent blue of ice-capped mountains under a full, glittering moon. So dangerous, yet she found herself drawn to him. She couldn’t explain it, but she suddenly felt compelled to look at his mouth. . She licked her lips and sucked in a breath when he did the same. Then reality struck and reminded her that he happened to be a demon. “Fine!” She pushed away and plopped down on the sofa. <i>What nerve. </i></p>
<p>“Try to control yourself, sweetie.” He rubbed the bulge in his pants, grinning.</p>
<p>“As if.” She huffed. So much for her tryst. She’d been so eager to have a man touch her. Instead, she’d been paired with a…beast.</p>
<p>“I will make you a bet that before this show ends you will plant that sweet, tight ass back on my lap and ride my long, hard cock.”</p>
<p>“You’re a pig.”</p>
<p>Chuckling, he stretched his arms behind his head and turned his attention to the movie.</p>
