Lethal Obsession going wide -- reborn all over the web!
My debut novel, LETHAL OBSESSION, has been reborn, with a new cover, tighter editing and writing, but the same arousing, blood-chilling story of Detective Angela Martin, who becomes involved with a man she meets through a Craigslist personal ad.
A man who she begins to fall for.
A man who enjoys controlling her, tying and tormenting her.
A man who brings a sense of desire, longing, passion back into her life.
A man who might very well be a killer.
If you like tales that are heavy in sensual Fifty Shades of Gray-style bondage; if you like thrilling, edge-of-your-seat murder mysteries, if you like dark romance, and a tale that will keep you guessing from page to page -- and most of all you like it all rolled into one explosive story -- then LETHAL OBSESSION is for you.
Here's an excerpt:
She heard a whimper as the hot sting of leather kissed her buttocks, then the whimper grew to a muffled cry with the second and third strike, and Angela realized it was her own voice she was hearing, what little voice she could form through the gag.
A man who she begins to fall for.
A man who enjoys controlling her, tying and tormenting her.
A man who brings a sense of desire, longing, passion back into her life.
A man who might very well be a killer.
If you like tales that are heavy in sensual Fifty Shades of Gray-style bondage; if you like thrilling, edge-of-your-seat murder mysteries, if you like dark romance, and a tale that will keep you guessing from page to page -- and most of all you like it all rolled into one explosive story -- then LETHAL OBSESSION is for you.
Here's an excerpt:
Her body trembled at a fourth and fifth strike. Fear and adrenaline coursed through her body, and Angela moaned. Embarrassment competed with fear, embarrassment at being naked and vulnerable, and at the realization her body was responding to his actions, that she could no longer control herself, with each lash from the belt arousal grew; fear as the realization dawned on her, not rationally but in some deep, visceral way, that she was helpless and alone, at the mercy of a stranger who clearly had painful intentions for her.
Then it all went away, replaced by the hard sensation of ice, first against her right nipple, then her left. Angela cried out at the cold, her body jerking, but the sound was muffled, and she moved little, with her arms stretched overhead, wrists bound, snugly held in place by…by what she wasn’t sure, with her vision nothing more than blackness behind a blindfold.
She turned her body away from the cold as much as she could, and Angela felt another sharp sting of leather across her buttocks.
She turned her body away from the cold as much as she could, and Angela felt another sharp sting of leather across her buttocks.
“You will stand still.”
Again the ice, but Angela held her footing, though her body trembled in spite of her attempt at remaining perfectly still. The cold pressed against her, hard, and then she felt the ice slipping around the nipple, making larger and larger circles outward, spiraling across her breasts.
As suddenly as the ice had come, it was gone. In its place she felt his lips...kissing her right nipple, gently at first, ever so softly. A mix of sensations rolled through her body..

Doing a HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY dance....
via GIPHY
Okay, maybe I don't have moves like that, but I cannot be more ecstatic right now.
Why?
Well, I have long looked upon erotica writer extraordinaire Selena Kitt as a goddess of the erotica publishing world. She can do it all -- write extremely arousing, plot-filled, and most of all well-written work. She's incredibly prolific, and she's even managed to start a couple of successful publishing companies (eXcessica and excitica among them).
And if you go to eXcessica and scroll down the new release section, you'll see my book, Lethal Obsession!
That's right, my novel Lethal Obsession is now part of the eXcessica publishing catalog.
There's more publishing news coming up in the next few days and weeks, but I just had to share -- seeing Lethal Obsession there made my day!

Back out into the world...
As I write this, it's been exactly one year, one month, and nine days since I last posted here on my blog.
A lot's happened in that time. Some of it good, some of it bad, and some of it ugly (I've spent a lot of time over the past year watching TV and movies, especially old flicks, so pardon me if these phrases and names slip into my blogging).
I'll run quickly through the latter two first -- the bad and the ugly -- so you can know where I've been, then talk about the good.
I had a little trouble with my writing and publishing, or more specifically someone decided my stories were suddenly offensive, so after letting me publish work for more than a year, allowing virtually everything I post to pass through their censor check, suddenly Amazon decided much of my work no longer conformed to their standards, so they banned most of it. No warning, no explanation, just banned most of it and warned me I could lost my account if I didn't shape up.
Some of you know I've struggled with clinical depression -- at times severe -- and that sent me into a tailspin. I unpublished all of my work, not only at Amazon, but everywhere. An overreaction, yes, but I tend to do that some times.
Then life grew worse -- someone I had thought of as a friend and mentor turned out not to be so much of either, taking advantage of my condition at the time, offering "help" then pulling it back, stringing me along...you know how life can be. So I had to cut ties, walk away, which is always painful.
That was followed by the loss of someone dear and close to me, a precious soul who had really become my mother in recent years -- she'd taken me in, offered me support, guidance, love, just like I was one of her kids. She was the most loving, strongest woman I've ever known, but after a long battle with pulmonary fibrosis, she passed away earlier this year.
And not too long after that I nearly lost one of the other closest people to me in the whole world. She's not out of the woods yet, after a hospital stay and some extended outpatient treatment, she seems to be doing a little better.
That was me, throughout these past few months. I mean my life, the way I was living, letting things get to me in ways that were unhealthy. Bad things happen to us all, it's really how we respond, how we overcome and build our lives in spite of the bad, that ultimately defines us and our lives.
Right?
It was pretty ugly, and I went for a long period of time without writing, without doing anything other than crawling out of bed, going to work, then coming back home. I ate a lot. Gained a lot of weight.
Like I said, it was pretty ugly. But that's changing some, and that leads us to the...
I've thought a lot about the one loss I mentioned earlier, my "mom." If any of you know me, or have been reading my posts off and on over the past few years, you know I had a rough start in life, eventually striking out on my own when I was just 16.
Well, my "mom" had a hard life, too. An incredibly poor childhood, some times going without the very basics of life, especially food. Yet she continued on, married, had her own kids, raised them, helped raise her grandkids, all through some trying and difficult times. Yet she never lost the basic joy in her life, never sat down and said "it's too much." She told me, more than once, that when things got really bad, she just put her head down and plowed through it.
"What else can you do?" she often asked.
Well, some of us quit, or take an extended break from life, it seems. At least that's what I've done a few times, which is odd since I was so determined, when I was younger, to never do that, to never be like the ones I grew up with, to never quit. I was determined to make something of my life.
I suppose I've done better than most that I grew up with, I certainly have done more than most would have thought possible if they saw me growing up, but still, when I sit and think and look back, I lost my way somewhere, started focusing on the problems, the bad and the ugly, rather than just working hard and moving forward.
A couple of months ago I decided this was crazy -- if I want some things in life, if I want to be different or better than I am now, just do it. Put my head down and plow forward.
And that's what I've been doing. I've tried, slowly, to get my life back together, to start writing again, and getting away from home for more than just working, to get out and live a little bit again.
So far, so good.
Which brings me to this blog, and my writing career. I've thought about restarting my blog for most of those two months, I've thought about writing and publishing more, maybe finding some homes for my old work and writing new pieces as well.
With the publication to this blog, I'm officially starting that, getting back into the game. In coming weeks and months I'll have news of my writing, where it's being published, how you can get it, and all of that info.
I'll also, from time to time, share a little with you what's going on in my life.
As always, feel free to comment, to share here from your own life, your own writing, most anything you wish.
For now, this kind of catches you up on my life. As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

Free, hot fiction for your summer reading
I'm back with what I hope will be my weekly (at least) offering of the best FREE erotica fiction available or download to your Kindle.
Start off with an offering from Purple Pleasure Publishing's Taken By The Pool: A Summertime Gangbang, by best-selling erotica author Mandy Cumming. This is one that'll get your blood pumping and stay with you…especially next time you're at the pool…
Want to know what this one's about? Check out this blurb:
Sharon's worked hard all her life – teaching elementary school children most of the year, taking on summer school teaching assignments the rest of the time to earn extra money, have a chance at good vacations, a better home, other nice things.
She's finally reached some of her goals, and the first year in her new home – complete with a modest pool – she decides to take the summer off, rest a little and enjoy the fruits of her labor.
And she meets Graham. He's an 18-year-old in his last summer before college, working as many jobs as he can to save money, and one of those jobs is coming by Sharon's house three times a week to clean out and take care of her pool.
Sharon watches him when he's around, wondering what it would be to feel those young, strong arms around her, that slender, hard body over her. One day, when her kids are off to camp, she can't help herself. Sharon begins flirting with Graham, and soon enough the two are together, nude, in the pool, making wild, raw love, when Graham's friends show up – a classmate of his, and another friend a year older.
Sharon is playful with them at first, but quickly learns flirting with teen-age boys, even ones who are 18 and 19, may lead down roads she hadn't intended, and that once she gets the boys started, there's no stopping them…

When the irresistible stranger from that one incredible night turns out to be her new boss – billionaire and publishing magnate Neil Elwood – Sophie can’t resist the chance to rekindle the spark between them… and the opportunity to explore her submissive side with the most Dominant man she’s ever known.
Neil is the only man who has ever understood Sophie’s need to submit in the bedroom, and the only man who has ever satisfied those desires.

I'm back -- with FREE erotica fiction for you!
Yes, your erstwhile dark erotica writer has returned. I'd love to tell you all where I've been, what I've been doing, and I will, but not today. For now I simply want to announce my return by pointing you to some hot little sexy freebies you can download to your Kindle right now (and no, you don't have to be a member of Kindle Unlimited, Amazon Prime, or anything else – these are just FREE!).
First, let me share with you a sizzling story of a young intern alone with some of her firm's junior executives, a story that includes some hot sex, a bit of bondage, and an unexpected ending. Here's the blurb:
Though Rachel is just 18, she's worked hard to get ahead, graduating from high school two years early, and now landing a summer internship with a prestigious marketing firm. Then she learns interns do one thing – grunt work. Making coffee, running the copier, emptying trash cans.
Then Rachel decides to try a little flirting with Nicholas, one of the junior executives, see if she can work her way into his marketing projects, even if she has to work her way into his pants to do it. Turns out Nicholas is more than willing to trade favors – only Rachel learns he has a thing for women who are tied up, and once she's helpless, Rachel gets more than she bargained for in...
Taking The Tied Up Intern (A Reluctant Very Rough Gangbang Tale): She's Only 18?
*****
Want more? Try out these free offerings today (books are free as of when I posted this blog – I can't be certain how long they'll stay free, so go get'm now!)
Selling Scarlett (A Love Inc. Novel) by best-selling novelists Ella James.
Here's a blurb: Elizabeth DeVille doesn't belong at a party like this--one where the gowns cost more than her Camry and cigars run higher than her grad school utility bills. Dragged out of seclusion by her best friend Suri, Elizabeth is merely playing dress-up, rubbing elbows with a crowd that banished her troubled family years ago.
Hunter West is tired. Tired of parties, tired of pretending, and tired of trying to right a wrong that haunts him every day. Bourbon heir and professional poker player by day, by night Hunter is gambling with his life in a high-stakes game of crime and blackmail.
When Elizabeth stumbles into Hunter's den of vices, she's a light in the darkness, a flame in the void. And, just like everything he touches, Hunter mars her in a record time. To rectify the damage done, Elizabeth needs money she doesn't have, and she's come up with a foolproof way to get it.
Follow Elizabeth--code-named Scarlett--to the lush Nevada brothel where she'll auction her virginity and risk the only thing that's not for sale: her heart. The highest bidder is a familiar face, with wicked hands and the devil's mouth. And a secret so dark that it could cost her life.
**Mature Content Warning** Not recommended for readers under the age of 17 due to mature language, sexual content, and violence.
Home Schooled - Learning to Please (Taboo Erotica)
The Nanny's First Time #1
Waiting for Snow (I usually hate snow, but if I had what's on this cover every time it snowed….hmmm…I'd move to Alaska)
That's it for today...Check them out!
And, before I go, let me ask you to be a doll – if you read these, please leave a review and rating for the authors. They're giving these stories away for free to you, show them your appreciation – take at least three minutes to jot a quickie little review and rating.
Till next time!
