An explicit, disturbing and erotic exploration into the twisted mind of a sadist and the woman he claims for his own.</p>
<p>An Excerpt&nbsp;from this <a title="erotic books" href="http://blog.freeeroticbooks.com" target="_blank">BDSM erotic books</a> of non-consensual sex and forced bondage:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>
<p>The man set down the bottle of water and stood, bowing to the naked, bound woman. &#8220;Allow me to introduce myself. I am your lord and master. You will call me Sir or Master.”
<p>Lisa stared at the man, her mind churning. He watched her for a few moments. When she didn&#8217;t respond he said, &#8220;Say it. I want to hear you say it.&#8221;
<p>Lisa started to cry again. The enormity of her situation left her weak with terror. He wasn’t going to let her go. “Say it!” When she still didn&#8217;t respond, he slapped her cheek, once, very hard. The shock of what he’d done stopped her tears as she stared in disbelief at the cruel, strange young man who now stood before her.
<p>Without another word, he turned on his heel and left the room, locking the door behind him. A moment later the light flicked out, sending her back into darkness.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Is this the&nbsp;manner of erotica you seek? Do you&nbsp;desire the Master to enslave&nbsp;you? Do you want the&nbsp;Slave Jade&nbsp;to call you Sir?
<p>Claire Thompson says: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been writing erotic ebook romance since 1996. I love to explore the nuance and romance of D/s and BDSM, as well as the sensual romance of m/m relationships, both D/s and vanilla.&#8221;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;<a href="http://1eroticaebooks.com/fem-dom/mistresses-of-domination/prod_904.html" target="_new" atomicselection="true"><img style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px" alt="FemDom BDSM" align="left" src="http://1eroticaebooks.com/images/uploads/_iha67_/mistresses of dom4a.jpg"></a> Dr Jane Foxx has been a successful professional Domina and is 5’6”, 110 lbs of slim, trim sadism. Details of her experiences, her many talents and stories from her incredible imagination are now available to everyone through her writing, from the merciless interrogations involving whipping and squeezing of vital male parts to training and watersports, with helpless male subjects confused and bewildered by her impossible commands and demands.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Jane’s whirlwind lifestyle, assisting Cassandra with professional domination services plays a part requiring respect from male and female alike, with the emphasis always on the supremacy of the female. After all, the sole purpose of the male is “to suck, to serve, and to suffer”.</p>
<p><a title="BDSM FemDom" href="http://bdsmfemdombooks.com" target="_blank">Mistresses of Domination by Dr Jane Foxx</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>
<p>“Mistress Hump has decided to give you the opportunity to bring her some intimate pleasure this evening. So, consider yourself truly fortunate,” I smiled.
<p>“I told Mistress Hump you’ve read the book “For the Love of Women”, so you should be all ready for her personal instruction. You’re such a lucky boy to have Mistress Hump as an instructor. I hope you do well for her!”
<p>Rocky looked bewildered, but got to his knees as ordered. Patricia came from behind the chair smiling, and looking very lusty. She was naked from the waist down except for the black pumps on her feet and the stockings and ribbon garters on her shapely legs. Her beige blouse was open so that both full cups of her brassiere projected before her when she seated herself.
<p>I was busy focusing with my camcorder. This intimate episode was going to be on video for us to enjoy later.
<p>Patricia’s hands went immediately to the sides of Rocky’s face so she could look him right in the eye. Then her preliminary instructions began.
<p>“I see you’ve shaved as ordered.” Patricia told him. “That’s nice! This is how you will always appear when you kneel to service a woman: neat and clean. We wouldn’t want anyone calling you a dirty cunt-lapper, would we?”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[</p>
<p>Romance Unbound Publishing (<a href="http://romanceunbound.com">http://romanceunbound.com</a>) is my new imprint, designed to take my own work to ebook and print. The idea is to take what I’m already doing—writing erotic romance—and recoup creative and financial control. I am selling my print books primarily on Amazon.com and my ebooks at <a href="http://1romanceebooks.com">http://1romanceebooks.com</a>, a very sexy new site that supports not only established publishers, but also us little guys!
<p>Back in the old days (which, in these days of rapidly changing technology could mean last week!), books were shopped through agents to the traditional publishing houses, who operated under the yoke of high overhead, carrying lots of inventory in warehouses which they would ship off to bookstores, who might or might not sell it, and might or might not return it. Because the costs were/are so high, publishers skim nearly all the profits, leaving the the author with next to nothing to show for their efforts.
<p>Epubs were a vast improvement, with much easier entry into the publishing market, and much higher royalties rates. I’ve done well by Epubs for a number of years, publishing over forty novels and stories with them. But handing over creative and financial control your work comes with a cost. For example, my story, <i>Continuum of Longing</i>, should have been called <i>Continuum of Desire</i>, but the Epub told me they had too many books with the word <i>desire</i> in it, so it had to change.
<p>In the early days of Ebook publishing, before cover artists really came into their own, I can’t tell you how many hideous pod people covers were shoved down my throat, with little to no input from me permitted. As you well know, books really <i>are</i> judged by their covers, especially ebooks and books sold online that you can’t pick up and thumb through. Covers really do matter.
<p>I have been very fortunate to discover a wonderful new cover artist (Kelly Shorten), and I have a great freelance editor (J.L. Reeves) and a couple of seriously kick ass beta readers who don’t let me get away with anything! I absolutely adore being able to write exactly what I want, release it when it’s ready and not when it fits into someone else’s schedule (average time for a release with some of the big epubs is 10-12 months or longer out from when I first write the thing!). I can give it the title it’s supposed to have, and a cover that fits the story. It’s a challenge, but an exciting one, to make it on my own!
<p>I have high hopes, given the ability of the Internet to connect me directly to my readers, that this is the way of the future, at least for me! 1RomanceEBooks is an excellent venue for the independent author and small publisher to distribute their work directly to the reader. I don’t suggest every author abandon their epub and NY House and try to go it alone—you need a solid readership and a backlist of work under your belt to get you through the lean times. And you need to be prepared to do everything yourself, from covers to formatting to saving the ebook in the format readers want (I have written a separate “how to” article about this, for anyone who wants a copy).
<p>The cool thing is, if this doesn’t work out for me, no doors are shut. I can still write for the big houses, or I can do it alongside this independent endeavor. It’s been a learning curve, but a fun and exciting one! The idea of truly making it on my own is a cherished dream. If you haven’t already, please check out <a href="http://romanceunbound.com">http://romanceunbound.com</a> and, oh yes, buy something! J

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.jenniferrardin.com/">Jennifer Rardin</a> chats with <a href="http://lizzietleaf.com">Lizzie T Leaf</a> and YOU in the <a href="http://realmsoflove.com">Realms of Love Chat Castle</a> this week. Join us Monday, August 11 as we discover the latest in Jennifer&#8217;s Jaz Parks series.<br />
<blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.whatweread.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/WindowsLiveWriter/JenniferRardinandLizzieTleafChatatRealms_B13A/btd%5B1%5D%5B2%5D.jpg" atomicselection="true"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 0px 20px 0px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="240" src="http://www.whatweread.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/WindowsLiveWriter/JenniferRardinandLizzieTleafChatatRealms_B13A/btd%5B1%5D_thumb.jpg" width="160" align="left" border="0"></a> Jaz Parks and her vampire boss, Vayl, have already fought demons, vampires, and reavers. Now, juggling work and family takes on a new dimension as she tackles her latest challenge: nail the Raptor before he can reduce her to Jaz-bits, survive a head-on crash with Vayl’s violent past, and lever her twin’s military career back on track before a dishonorable discharge ruins his life. To top it off, she must also contend with her father’s issues. Is he losing his mind? Or is someone really trying to kill him - from beyond the grave?
<p>Jennifer says about Jennifer: I’ve spent all my life in the Midwest, which has certainly shaped my perspective on all kinds of issues, from the question of whether or not we really have an accent, to the many and varied uses of corn.
<p>I was born in Evansville, Indiana on April 28, 1965. Mom tells me almost every year what crappy weather it was that day. However I like to think of my birthday as the first frost-free date for my planting area. See what happens when you grow up around farmers? Scary, huh?
<p>After a youth spent up to my eyeballs in fairy tales, nordic myths and supernatural legends I made the solid and practical decision to go to college and major in English. After which I never really held a well paying job until this gig came along! Which is why my kids love to sing that song to me from the musical “Avenue Q.” The one that begins with the line, “What do you do with a B.A. in English?”
<p>Once I figured out the answer to that question, I wrote Once Bitten, Twice Shy. Now my laptop is my constant companion. We reside in an old farmhouse along with my husband and our two teenagers. No pets since the cat died last winter, but the birds seem to appreciate his absence. They come to feast at the feeders while I write on the back porch in the cool of the morning. Lovely.</p>

<p><font face="Arial"><input type="image" src="http://www.melissamayhue.com/images/soul_highlander_sm.jpg" align="left" /><em>Soul of a Highlander&nbsp;</em> Nine years ago, Faerie Magic saved MAIRI MacKIERNAN at the cost of her dreams of happiness, snatching her from her life in 1272 and depositing her in the twenty-first century.&nbsp; Now she must save the last Daughter of the MacKiernan family&#8230;who was murdered in 1295.&nbsp; Transported back in time at her request, Mairi finds herself captured by the same evil men as before!&nbsp; Is this the price the Faerie Magic requires of her this time?</font></p>

<p><strong>Kara Griffin</strong> hosts EPPIE AWARD WINNER <strong>Pam Champagne</strong> in this week&#8217;s Romance Writer chat at <a title="romantic fiction news and chats" href="http://www.realmsoflove.com" target="_blank">Realms of Love</a>. Be here Monday March 10 at 9 PM EDT as these romance writers tell us about their books and how cold it is on the East Coast of the US. There will be give-aways so be sure to log in to the chat early. Here&#8217;s a little bit about Kara and Pam:
<p><strong>Pam&nbsp;Champagne</strong>&nbsp;lives in on 50 rural acres in rural Maine with her husband, two Siamese cats and a black Lab. By day she works in Bangor, Maine as a legal secretary.
<p>Other than writing, Pam enjoys hunting, fishing or just being outdoors. Each year she promises to maintain her perennials and a huge vegetable garden, but somehow they always manage to get away from her. God blessed her with two beautiful children and two wonderful granddaughters. Pam writes, hot romantic suspense novels and is currently branching into short stories and novellas.
<p><strong><em>Dead Heat:</em></strong> As Jenna Green struggles to make a name for herself on the racetrack after her father&#8217;s untimely death, Rye Cameron&#8217;s offer of a job to train his horses comes out of the blue. Aware of his reputation with women, she accepts, despite her doubts. Soon she discovers the real reason Rye hired her and finds herself fighting for her life.
<p><strong>Kara Griffin</strong> says: Living the quiet life here in New Jersey. I can often be found home, working on my computer. Maybe I&#8217;m a recluse. Sometimes I attend daughter&#8217;s soccer games (when it&#8217;s not too cold). I really need to move to a warmer place&#8230;
<p>I share my living space with my husband of 18 years, and 3 teen daughters. Usually one of our three cats (Trixie, Chillie, or Flav-or-Flav) can be found snuggled on my desk or on my lounge when I&#8217;m working. I write any chance I get, and am always on the computer or chatting on many of the groups I frequent.
<p>I grew up in Philadelphia and was used to the busy sounds of the city, the cement sidewalks, and high sky-scrapers. Now, I enjoy the peaceful scenic views and green of the suburbs. My favorite season is summer, because I can write outside and enjoy nature. I really do need to move some place warmer!
<p>Some things you might be surprised to know about me&#8230; Some call me a spitfire, lol, maybe because I&#8217;m all of 5 feet tall, but have enough gumption to speak my mind. I recently took my second plane ride, and one day WILL visit my favorite place: Scotland. I love cats, like dogs, love drinking tea, especially when it&#8217;s cold. I really do need to exist in a warmer place!! I forget to eat when I&#8217;m writing, but like to snack. I&#8217;m about the only woman in the world who doesn&#8217;t love chocolate. I&#8217;m an advocate for children&#8217;s rights, and love working with kids.
<p>I&#8217;ve always enjoyed hearing stories about myths and magic. It&#8217;s no wonder I put some of that in my stories. There&#8217;s nothing like reading about witches, ghosts, vamps, wares, or shifters. Of course, there has to be romance in it, because I&#8217;m a romantic at heart.
<p>I love writing heroes that make you wish you were the heroine, and about heroines who inspire courage, dignity, and inner-beauty. Find out more by reading my books. I love to hear from readers, so email me or speak up if you spot me on the
<p><strong><em>Fishing Lures and Love Tackle:</em></strong> Keely Crystal , Kuku-lau the Goddess of Deception, has always known who her love will be. Their destiny has been foretold by the Goddess of Earth herself. But when Keely sets out to meet her intended before their destined time, she unintentionally deceives him.
<p>Martin Stokes is tired of dealing with deceiving women. He intends to change the way he deals with them. But when he meets the enchanting, sexy, woodland nymph, while fishing, he has second thoughts. The connection he feels for Keely uncovers a love deeper than he’s ever experienced.
<p>Is his fate as the Goddess’s protector sealed, even though she deceived him? Martin must forgive her before the Goddess of the Earth sends another protector in his place. He just can&#8217;t let that happen.
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ancient Rome is the theme for this month&#8217;s ManLove chat at <a href="http://realmsoflove.com">Realms of Love</a>. Join <strong>James Buchanan, Jardonn Smith </strong>and <strong>William Maltese</strong> as they&nbsp;chat with you about their work, their obsessions and the burgeoning ManLove community.</p>
<p>There will be give-aways, good conversation and fun!&nbsp;Give yourself a relaxing hour with these intelligent, engaging authors and the friendly folks at Realms of Love. Sign in to the chat at 9 PM EST Monday March 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;
<p><strong>Jardonn Smith</strong> is the author of five books and instigator of the web site <a href="http://www.jardonnserotictales.com" target="_blank">www.jardonnserotictales.com</a> , where men are worshiped by women, men, and women and men together. It&#8217;s also home to Uncle Jasper McCutcheon and his audio erotica adaptations of his books and Jardonn&#8217;s books, plus his rather popular Five-fingered Bedtime Stories and Swinging with Marrieds.
<p>Jardonn sees his men as heroic creatures who must be chained to their altars for proper praise. Defiant, strong and virile, they must suffer through interrogations and punishments before the men who love them can save them. His latest book, The Tortured Secutor, is no exception.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Set in 3rd Century AD Rome, the tale is of a gladiator, Philo, granted his freedom by Emperor Aurelian, only to be caught up in a web of treachery surrounding the murdered wife of an evil patrician. Philo&#8217;s abducted, taken to a dungeon of torture, while the man who loves him, a physician at the Ludus Magnus where slaves are trained to be gladiators, devises a plan to rescue our hero. You can listen to a Jasper audio rendition of Philo&#8217;s brutal introduction to the Ludus Magnus here <a href="http://www.jardonnserotictales.com/jaspstrStoryTime9.mp3">http://www.jardonnserotictales.com/jaspstrStoryTime9.mp3</a></p>
<p>Jardonn will talk about this and all of his books, and he&#8217;ll be giving away a signed copy of The Tortured Secutor. If asked, he&#8217;ll also talk of Uncle Jasper and his three books of hetero mayhem. Same concept, but with women doling out the punishments and the lovemaking. Jasper is proud to be one of six finalists for the prestigious Diagram Award from TheBookSeller.com, an annual note to books with the most unusual titles, in Jasper&#8217;s case, I Was Tortured By the Pygmy Love Queen. He might be coerced into giving away a copy of this book, too.
<p><strong>James Buchanan</strong>, is a multipublished author of, primarily, homoerotic romance &amp; fiction. Life wise, James grew up in a small Texas town, hours away from any other small Texas town and about as far west as you could go and still be considered in Texas. A stint at the University, where James ostensibly majored in English, garnered him a degree useful for being someone’s secretary. The absolute lack of employment opportunities sent James to Southern California. After a stint in County Mental Health (administration not client) he ran screaming into the field of Law. So far he has been practicing for nine years and someday I might even get it right.</p>
<p>Currently James volunteers as the Obelisk Awards Coordinator, List Dom and MySpace WebMaster for the Erotic Authors Association. He also edits the newsletter for the ManLoveRomance Author Co-op. His novella Twice the Cowboy won both the Preditors &amp; Editors Best Romance Novella of 2006 but also the Golden Rose 2007 award for Best Novella. </p>
<p>In a bold stroke of either genius or idiocy, James recently purchased a Harley and is trying not to kill himself on it. </p>
<p>&nbsp;
<p>Out already: <br /><em>The Good Thief</em> by <strong>James Buchanan</strong><br />What if the wrong guy turns out to be the right guy for you? Career criminal Caesar Serrano is faced with that question when he finds himself falling for LAPD officer Nathan Reilly. </p>
<p>Waking in Nate’s bed after hooking up at a party, both are a little shaken; not only because of what they did the night before but because Nate gets called into work and Caesar discovers that Nate is an officer with LAPD. Caesar bolts from Nate’s house while the officer is still in the shower. When Caesar finds himself confronted by evidence of a horrific crime the only person he knows to turn to is Nate. The resulting investigation the Blue Brigade into lock-step. Can they overcome their prejudices and come together to keep Caesar alive and bring a monster to justice?. </p>
<p>Coming in March: <br />Cheating Chance Book One of Taking the Odds by <strong>James Buchanan</strong><br />Nick O&#8217;Mallley is an agent for the Nevada Gaming Commission. He&#8217;s also a Goth with a hearse he&#8217;s restoring, and an ex lover he&#8217;s only just getting over. Brandon Carr is a cop with the Riverside PD. Lucky for him, he&#8217;s in Vice where his tattoos and biker boy looks serve him well. The two meet at a Goth convention in San Diego and the sparks fly immediately. So much so that a weekend fling turns into more and Brandon spends his four day weekend visiting Nick.</p>
<p>Things aren&#8217;t all sparks and roses though: the two do live a four hour drive apart, and Brandon&#8217;s not out. Add to that a murder right in front of them, a company trying to cheat the system and the Mexican Mafia, and Brandon and Nick&#8217;s relationship will need to overcome a whole slew of obstacles in order to work.</p>
<p>Despite everything, can Brandon and Nick make a go of it? Taken a chance on these two and find out.<br />A Little Trust, a short story featuring Nick and Brandon from Cheating Chance, will be released March 15, 2008, as part of the Ropes Toy Box from Torquere Press. Book two of the Taking the Odds series, Inland Empire is now running as a Turn of the Screw Novel.</p>
<p><strong>William Maltese</strong> was born in the United States Pacific Northwest. He has a BA in Marketing/Advertising and spent an honorable tour of duty in the United States Army (achieving the rank of E-5).</p>
<p>The author, who started his career writing for men pulp magazines, has since written over 200 books, non-fiction and fiction, the latter including every genre.</p>
<p>His success in erotica and mainstream publishing, including translations of his work into over a dozen foreign languages, earns him his long-standing listing in WHO’S WHO IN AMERICA. </p>
<p>Released February 1, 2008:<br /><em>Carthage 146 B.C.</em> from SUCKS! BOOK #1 OF THE DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES by <strong>William Maltese</strong> </p>
<p>HIS MUSCLED BODY glistens with perspiration that drools his torso. He squeegees wet from his hairy chest and belly, using the flats of his hands. The leading edges of his little fingers collide with his dick that has spewed enough cream to swamp a Carthaginian war ship. He returns his hands to his nipples and leaves them resting there.<br />“I need a drink.” Romilius gets to his feet and favors one badly bruised-on-the-marble-floor knee. He crosses the few feet to a sandalwood stand and its ewer of Athenian hand-crafted silver from Laurium. The silver is embossed with a scene of the Minotaur, with very large cock, who looks as if he wants to do more to Theseus than kill him. The fine wine is poured into a silver chalice with Cretian bull-leaping motif, made by Mago the Carthaginian. Romilius’s taste buds miss the finer nuances of the vintage as he swallows.<br />He walks to the balcony. The eruptions of more flames in the city below indicate the speed of the hastily encroaching Roman enemy from harbor into the city proper, soon to raid and incinerate this very house. The still-distant sounds of battle — triumphant bellows of conquerors and the agonizing cries of vanquished — carry all-too-clearly on an incoming breeze.<br />“Vlad isn’t going to make it back on time, is he?” Romilius says more to himself than to the vampire on the floor behind him.<br />“Of course, he is,” Alenius counters; if Vlad were coming back, with an escape plan to rescue Romilius from the city, he would likely have showed before now. “He’s always true to his word.”<br />“There’s always an exception to everything, isn’t there?” Romilius says. He takes another swallow of the wine he’s poured. “This is such a time. There’s no way Vlad gets back in this city …”<br />A decided exaggeration, as Romilius and Alenius both know; Vlad’s return only necessitates the brief moment to metamorphose leathery wings, and a fly-in, especially on the obliging updrafts caused by a city more and more in flames.<br />Less exaggeration, of course, is Vlad returned and Romilius still not rescued. Vampire wings aren’t constructed for transporting other than their owners, no matter how artists fancifully portray them eagle-like lifting heavy prey.<br />“I want you to suck me dry,” Alenius says. He turns from the balcony and from the portrait of destruction painted on the city landscape. “I mean, suck the blood from my veins.”<br />“You and I know that’s not going to happen,” Alenius says. He gets to his feet, not bothering to dress. Wings don’t easily sprout beneath clothing, and he’s prepared, very soon, to fly out as chances become more and more slim that Vlad will fly in or arrive any other way that provides rescue for Romilius. “I’ve promised Vlad that any complete draining of your blood, if and when, will be his doing. I’m a vampire of my word.”<br />“What was I saying about exceptions to the rule?” Romilius says; Alenius joins him on the parapet. The young man’s nakedness, chalice in hand, is silhouetted against a backdrop more and more flame-lit. “Would Vlad prefer me permanently dead or capable of resurrection — whether the latter sees me returned as your minion or his?”<br />“He was very emphatic when he warned me — as my friend, and my lover — against my doing the deed,” Alenius reminds. “I emphasize ‘very’. He and his family have plans for you that, as far as I can determine, don’t include recruiting you into our life-style — which I’m not sure you would enjoy, anyway. There are so many things that can be done by those who can abide sunshine that can’t be so easily accomplished by us permanently relegated to the shadows. Were I to deprive Vlad of what he and his may expect from you and from yours in the daylight, he wouldn’t likely be pleased.”<br />“If I die, here, at the hand of some Roman soldier, of what benefit am I to Vlad, to Vlad’s family, to you, or to anyone? Better, yes, that I survive to see at least another night?” </p>
<p>Gay classic from 1973:<br /><em>GAIUS MAXIMUS</em> by <strong>William Maltese</strong> (writing as William Lambert, III)
<p>[The author will be providing several additional short excerpts from this classic collector’s novel of the Roman Empire while chatting on Realms of Love on 3 March 2008].
<p>GAIUS MAXIMUS, commander of the Roman forces in Britain, was anxious to have the boy Gerwyn brought to his tent. But Drak Thormu, the Druidic religious leader, had requested an audience to warn him that the boy had been consecrated to the gods.<br />“They were here in this place long before your Greek or Roman gods were spawned in other places.” Drak said. They have claimed the boy for their own. Had your men not interrupted the ceremony at Braknoida, it would even now be completed.”<br />“The boy is a captive of war,” Gaius said, showing his anger. He is one of the spoils I have claimed. He is now my property: one more slave to be used as I see fit. If I see fit to pull him naked into my bed then that is how it shall be…” </p>
