New Cover Art

February 19th, 2012 at 2:33 am
 
Hello everyone :)
 
Two new covers to share with you..........
 
 
 
       
 
 
 
They'll be releasing in March and April.
 
In other news, I'm still working on Magpie. That's probably all the other news there will be for quite a while if I'm honest. Long books don't give me a lot to post about on the blog, lol.

For His Eyes Only - Available Now

February 12th, 2012 at 2:40 am
 
Hi everyone,
 
Book 6 in the Pushing the Envelope series - For His Eyes Only - is now available from Amber Allure. Be warning - it's one of those stories that won't make much sense unless you've read the previous books in the series :) 
 
Click on the cover to find out more about it.

News and updates

February 6th, 2012 at 11:05 am
 
Hi everyone,
 
Couple of bits of news in to share with you.
 
Waking up Naked now has a cover and an excerpt. Click on the pic to read. It's also been brought forward a week and will now be released on the 22nd of this month.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I've also added an excerpt to For His Eyes Only. Click on the pic to read that too.
 
 
 
 
I also have a new acceptance - By Hand - which will come out in May and which will be the 9th book in the Pushing the Envelope Series.
 
The 10th title in the series should be submitted soon :)
 
*Hugs*

February

February 1st, 2012 at 6:24 am
 
 
Hi everyone,
 
I am in no way ready for February, but since the calendar seems to take no notice of that fact, here we go anyway...
 
I have four books releasing this month - two of them today!
 
   
 
Admiring Anna is my first ever FF title.
 
I don't make a habit of asking people to buy my books, and I'm not going to start now. But I will ask that, if you're not sure if you will like an FF tale or not, please click on the pic and read the excerpt rather than simply dismiss it without ever giving it a chance.
 
As for All the Gear, No Idea - clicking on that pic will take you to an excerpt too :) 
 
This one is the second in a series of Valentines' Day meetings. It will probably make more sense if you've read Call Me Sir, Boy!
 
The two titles coming out later this month are For His Eyes Only and Waking Up Naked. More details on them will be posted closer to their release dates.
 
Submissions wise I have two stories from the Pushing the Envelope series to send off over the next week or so. Then, there will be quite a break in news about submissions since I'll be starting work on Magpie, and that will take a little while to complete!
 
Hope you have a great month!
 
*Hugs*

Hi everyone,
 
I can't believe how quickly the end of the month has come around!
 
Thank you to everyone who entered the competition to win an e-copy of With a Kiss - and to everyone who said such lovely things about Marcus, Liam and their story :D
 
The winner is Kerry! If you e-mail me and let me know what format you would prefer, I'll send a copy through to you.
 
I'm off to bed now, but I will be back tomorrow with info on February's releases as well as some completely random things :)
 
*Hugs everyone*

Submission Number Two

January 29th, 2012 at 4:09 am
 
Hello everyone :)
 
My second submission of 2012 has finally made its way to my publisher's in box.
 
Obedient Slave is MM, BDSM, Erotic Romance. It's the second book in the Sun, Sea and Submission series that started last year. This one follows the story of Matthew - an employee of Pendragon Hotel who appeared briefly in the first book - Packing Leather. You don't need to read the first one for this story to make sense, it can stand on its own just fine :)

First Submission of 2012

January 19th, 2012 at 11:11 am
 
I seem to have started the year on a bit of a go slow, but I've finally submitted something to one of my publishers!
 
Waking Up Naked is the second book in my Sex Sells series. I'm MM, BDSM and will probably make more sense if you've read the first book in the series, Sealing the Deal. This one revolves around the two guys who briefly shared an elevator with Hudson and Stuart after their office party.
 
I'm working on the second book in my Sun, Sea and Submission series at the moment. Hopefully, I'll have some news for you on that soon.
 
In other news, Marcus from With a Kiss has won an award!
 
 
 
 
He sends his thanks to everyone who voted for him :D
 
To celebrate, I'm giving away an e-copy of With a Kiss to someone who leaves a comment on this post. One commentor will be chosen at random on January 31st. (If the winner already has With a Kiss, they can choose to recieve a different book instead.)
 
*Hugs*

January Releases

January 8th, 2012 at 5:13 am
 
Hi everyone!
 
There are two new releases for me this month, both MM, both shorts.
 
Cordially Invited - the 5th book in the Pushing the Envelope series - is now available from Amber Allure. This series will only make sense if you read the books in order from the start of the series. You can read an excerpt and find the buy link by clicking on the cover.
 
 
 
 
Squeaky Clean stands alone. You don't have to read anything for it to make sense. But, if you want to, you can read the e-mail that inspired me to write the story, as well as an excerpt, by clicking on the cover. The story will be released on January 11th.
 
 
 
 
No other news to share as yet, but I'm hoping to have some news on new stories submitted to my publishers next week.
 
Hope everyone's having a fantastic January.
 
I've only broken one resolution so far - that's pretty good for me!
 
*Hugs*

Merry Christmas Everyone!

December 25th, 2011 at 5:22 am
 
Hi everyone!
 
Hope you found some fantastic presents under the tree this morning, and have an even more amazing 2012 in store!
 
 
 
 
And, since I found a couple of Christmas presents in my inbox today as well, I have two new covers to share as well!
 
 
     
 
 
*Hugs everyone*

At this time of year...

December 17th, 2011 at 10:03 am
 
It's that time of year again, when thoughts turn to certain things. Like elves...
 
Only the elf in question isn't entirely the kind you might be thinking of. This one doesn't make cute little wooden toys. He prefers leather...
 
I should scroll back a little here, to explain.
 
It's all Bronwyn Green's fault.
 
She started it.
 
She asked my mother and I to make her a crochet Christmas elf. We did. (My roll was mainly supervisory in all of this, so I can't take credit for finished products...)
 
Then, I started thinking. (Always a bad sign.)
 
You see, Bronwyn's grandmother was Welsh. So, the obvious friend to send across to her with the Christmas elf was a Welsh elf. You shoul be able to see pics of these guys on her blog here soon.
 
Then, I kept on thinking. (Even worse sign!)
 
What about a kinky elf.
 
Everyone, meet Switchy...
 
 
His collar is made out of a fast release leather cock ring. His handcuffs are human-sized thumb cuffs. Everything else is crocheted.
 
 
He's currently standing on the mantel place in amongst the Christmas decorations. In January, I'm thinking he'll move to my new writing room.
 
Which brings me around to that short story I said I was close to sending in. Home Sweet Home is now with my publisher. You can find out more about it here. It will be released in May 2012.
 
*Hugs*

The alphabet now starts with M...

December 14th, 2011 at 8:38 am
 
 
 
Hi again everyone,
 
Another new release, which concludes the flurry of releases for the month!
 
Melting Mr. Mowburry is the first story in The Whole A-Z series. This one is a MM, BDSM short story. Future stories cover the whole range of MM, MF, FF, FM and menage. They are being released in a completely random letter order.
 
Click on the pic to go to the book's page on this site, so you can check out the pic that inspired the story. Or, if you prefer not to see the pic until afterwards, click here to go to the book page on the publisher's website.
 
 
 
 
There are another five books in this series scheduled to come out next year.
 
I already have the covers for the short stories and you can check them out below.
 
             
 
All the other titles in the series will be longer, and their covers will turn up closer to their individual release dates :)
 
*Hugs*
 
Kim
 
P.S. I'm way behind on both e-mails and replying to blog comments. I will catch up soon! On the positive side, I am almost ready to send in two projects (1 short, 1 medium).

How Time Flies...

December 8th, 2011 at 2:35 pm
 
 
 
Just aout five years ago today, I decided to take my writing seriously. Every day since then, I've written at least 1000 words.
 
Three years ago today, my first ever e-book (The Gift) was published. Almost every month since, at least one more e-book has come out.
 
This weekend, my sixtieth e-book (Orders Enclosed) will be released.
 
So, all things considered, as well as because it's coming to that time of year when New Years Resolutions start to be formed, I've been taking stock.
 
 

 
 
It's been an interesting five years.
 
I've gone from believing that stories about two men were unpublishable, to discovering that there was this wonderful genre call MM, and these fantastic things call e-books.
 
I've gone from being entirely reliant on others, to being able to support myself financially and to own my own house.
 
I've gone from being too ill to do a lot of the things I want to or need to do, to... well, some things are still a work in progress, but the important thing is, progress is being made.
 
I've gone from not knowing anyone online, to believing that I have some genuine friends out there in cyber space.
 
 

 
 
There are still a lot of things I know I need to work on.
 
I'm still honing my writing craft.
 
I'm still working out a few things healthwise.
 
I'm still working on being less reserved and more of a people person.
 
I'm still working on being more zen and less obsessive.
 
 

 
 
But, over all, it's been a good five years!
 
Anyway, I'm celebrating by doing a giveaway - not for one e-book, but for a whole series of e-books.
 
All you have to do is leave a message on this blog post and tell me which series you'd like to win if your name is picked out of the hat!
 
It can be a completed series (in which case you'll get all the books straight away) or an ongoing series (in which case, you'll get any already published books straight away, then each book that has yet to be published as and when it is released).
 
You can find out about all the completed and ongoing series here.
 
I'll pick a name at random on December 15th. If there isn't a post on this blog saying who won, you still have time to enter!
 
 

 
 
And, that's it!
 
Since there's no point in being published if no one reads the book, I don't think this is just my anniversary, but all of our anniversaries.
 
So...

All about Melting Mr Mowburrey

December 7th, 2011 at 4:15 am
 
 
 
 
 
Next Wednesday, I'll have a new book out with Resplendence Publishing. It's the start of my new A-Z series. This particular book is MM and a short story. But other titles in the series will be all different combinations of genders, and all different lengths.
 
Here's a bit more about it...
 
 

 
 
Blurb:
 
Mr. Mowburrey has a reputation on the local BDSM scene as a dominant with pure ice in his veins. He never gets attached to the submissives he plays with, never lets his emotions rule his head.
 

Tony is a young inexperienced submissive. When he falls for Mr. Mowburrey he knows he doesn’t stand a chance, but he still can’t resist making one last play for him. With the help of a sweet little prop, Tony is going to do his damndest to make Mr. Mowburrey melt.

 

 

 
 
Inspiration:
 
This story was inspired by a picture taken by Chris of www.stumblingoverchaos.com. It wasn't possible to include it in the book due to formatting issues, but here it is:
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Excerpt:
 
“What the hell is—?” Mr. Arthur Mowburrey stopped on the threshold leading into his friend’s study. A frown gathered on his brow as he took in the sight before him.
 
Hampton was nowhere to be seen. The room’s sole occupant glanced at him, but the only reply Mowburrey’s half-uttered question received, was a pleasure filled little murmur.
 
As Mowburrey watched, the pretty young submissive sitting in one of the arm chairs on the far side of the room, tipped his head back a fraction. Each movement slow and deliberate, the boy moved his hand away from his mouth and let the object he was holding slide out from between his lips. His eyes remained half closed—heavy-lidded with pleasure.
 
Finally, the boy blinked and looked up at Mowburrey through his lashes. “You really should try one, sir. They’re delicious.”
 
Mowburrey managed to drag his gaze an inch or two away from the other man’s mouth and look him straight in the eye. Tony certainly was delicious. Mowburrey had been well aware of that fact ever since he’d first set eyes on the boy. If Tony hadn’t been a fellow guest at Hampton’s house, and no doubt invited there to become their host’s newest submissive, Mowburrey knew damn well he’d already have given in to the temptation to taste the boy for himself.
 
In the hands of a master craftsman, Tony could so easily be transformed from a somewhat naive and ill-disciplined young man into just the kind of exquisite delicacy a dominant’s palate craved. But as for what the boy was eating…
 
“A chocolate cock,” Mowburrey said, more to himself than anyone else.
 
“I know.” Tony smiled as he brought his treat back to his lips and circled the head of the confectionary erection with his tongue. “Want a lick?”
 
Against his better judgment, Mowburrey stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. Not quite able to take his eyes off the boy, he reduced the gap between them and lowered himself to sit on the sofa opposite Tony’s chair.
 
Hell yes, he wanted a lick. He wanted to tie the boy down and have Tony completely at his mercy as he licked the cheeky little sod all over. He wanted to hear Tony scream with frustrated pleasure as he ran his tongue along the underside of the boy’s cock again and again, while still refusing him permission to come. A lick was only the start of what he really wanted from the submissive.
 
“No,” Mowburrey said, quietly relieved by how level his voice remained. “I don’t.”
 
Tony’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. “All the more for me!”
 
It wasn’t a real cock. Mowburrey knew that. It was just a bit of chocolate on a stick. But, damn, Tony didn’t seem to be aware of that fact.
 
The boy lowered his head and let the chocolate slide gradually into his mouth. It went deeper and deeper, until Mowburrey was sure it had to be touching the back of the submissive’s throat. No doubt, the boy would be able to deep-throat a real cock no problem, too. He’d obviously had a hell of a lot of practice.
 
Mowburrey’s hand clenched into a fist at his side as he fought back the urge to take a swing at any man who had ever so much as smiled at the younger man, let alone thrust his shaft between his lips.
 
It was a completely illogical desire. The only man who could have any reasonable right to feel that way was Hampton, even if the other dominant hadn’t even got around to collaring him yet.
 
Mowburrey forced his hand to relax and his fingers unfurl. Even so, his restraint didn’t change the fact that Tony would look good with black leather wrapped around his throat. It didn’t alter his certainty that the tag that hung from that collar should declare him to be the property of Mowburrey rather than Hampton.
 
As Mowburrey watched, the younger man pulled back, letting the chocolate leave his mouth, the surface of it now beautifully moist and just beginning to melt. Tony licked his lips, obviously savoring the sweetness that lingered there. Holding the lolly still, the boy ran his tongue along the underside of it, as if he was tracing the vein that snaked along there, purely for the confectionary’s enjoyment.
 
Mowburrey’s own erection strained against the inside of his trousers. He could almost feel Tony’s chocolate-coated tongue moving against his shaft. His hand tightened into a fist once more, but this time the only thing he imagined was his fingers wrapping around thick blond strands of hair as he pulled the boy closer and held him still so he could use his mouth in whatever way he chose.
 
There were tiny dabs of coconut on the replica ball sac set at the base of the chocolate cock. Apparently Tony either really loved coconut, or he really loved being granted the privilege of worshiping another man’s balls. Murmuring his appreciation, he lapped at the firm globes, clearing away any trace of coconut before finally taking each smooth round testicle into his mouth in turn.
 
Tony’s eyes dropped closed as if to better enjoy the way the chocolate filled his mouth and his senses, but eventually he blinked and looked up at Mowburrey once more. There was so much lust in his gaze, so much submission, so much love of servicing a big, hard cock—even a damn chocolate one.
 
There was so much desire to belong to a dominant man visible in his expression, too. He might as well have jumped up on Hampton’s desk and screamed his need for a master at the top of his lungs.
 
 

 
 
There's a giveaway for this book currently underway on Chris' blog. You can enter it by leaving a comment here
 
 

 
 
There's another giveaway going on with one of my publishers that's completely unrelated to this book, or any of my books actually, but I thought I would mention it anyway.
 
Just click on the pic to find out more about it...
 
 
 
 

 
 
That's it for today, but I should be back and blogging about something else tomorrow :)
 
*Hugs*

Four Free PDFs

December 4th, 2011 at 8:50 am
Hi guys,
 
I've been meaning to drop in and post something for a while.
 
November pretty much throttled me and the book I was hoping to submit to a publisher at the end of last month crashed and burned. It doesn't happen very offen, but occassionally I do write something that I can't turn into a submitable book.

Print Book - Coming Soon

November 23rd, 2011 at 1:54 pm
 
Just a fly-by post before I have another crack at a story that's proving to be annoyingly stubborn...
 
I have a new print book coming out soon - Volume One of Thrown to the Lions, which includes Ryland's Sacrifice and Marrick's Promise.
 
My author copies just came through and the cover is lush, so I had to share! (Sorry if the quality comes out slightly dodgy - it's scanned off the actual book, lol.)
 
 
*Hugs*
