Some Girls - Elodie Parkes


This is so great, today I'm joined in exile - Exile on Peachtree Street - by the enchanting Elodie Parkes.  Elodie and I share a love of the written word, the erotique and we have a super secret that we can reveal to you in a few weeks. 

 Elodie, thank you so much for joining me. It is so nice to kick off the Holiday Season with someone like you who is so naughty and nice.

 Why don't we have a cup of tea and why don't you bring the readers and me up to date on your latest news.

Hi Hunter thank you for inviting me to the blog.

Can you tell us when you started writing and what you love about it?

I started writing when I was seventeen, but never took it seriously. I had some love poetry published in a couple of magazines. (smiles)
I started writing again properly a couple of years ago because I had so many stories in my head.
I have published three contemporary erotic romance books to date and I am working on another book right now.
They are available on Amazon kindle. I love eBooks myself, and it’s rare now for me to buy a paperback or hardback.

Elodie, what do you read and what inspires you?

I read heaps myself from across all types of genres.

For my own writing people and emotions inspires me. The complexity of life spurs me to write.
What category features your works?

My books fall into the category of erotic romance because I do write the sex scenes graphically and that’s because I want the love the characters feel to show up properly in my stories.
I think too that readers have become used to reading more. They don’t want the description of the romance to stop at the bedroom door.

Can you tell us about your latest release and possibly share some with us?

My latest release ‘The Horoscope Writer’ was mostly inspired by signs along a country road when I was out driving one day in another county.
The main characters just started to flow into my head and by the time I had driven home, which was a three hour journey through the countryside, I had the book and characters completely ready.

‘The Horoscope Writer’ is about a man, Dominic, who is a writer and has lots of different writing jobs for magazines amongst which is that of horoscope writing. He is a lonely soul, living in the country on a funny country lane where a few artisan’s workshops are. Fortunately he has a friend there too, Jeremy, who has a workshop, design studio there on the lane.
Dominic is lonely. His last relationship broke up a couple of years prior to the opening of the story and he really wants love.
Dominic Reed the horoscope writer is desperate for love. He doesn’t know he has never had the kind of love he suddenly finds with Cassie the female lead character. It ignites a sexual passion in him he didn’t know he could feel.
There is a workshop to let on the lane and Cassie comes along to rent it.
Dominic is instantly attracted to her when he sees her in Jeremy’s office and she finds Dominic irresistible.
There is a mild paranormal streak running through what is an erotic romance because Dominic has been influenced by his great uncle who was also a horoscope writer.
This is a love story, erotic and enticing.
My books do contain graphic sex in the love scenes but they are love scenes, romantic, and the characters are driven by love.

 EXCERPT 18+ only From The Horoscope Writer

Dominic walked up behind Cassie as she sorted paintbrushes into a box on one of the workbenches and put his arms around her waist, kissing her neck from behind. She stopped sorting the brushes, and placed the whole bundle on the shelf next to the container to lean back into his arms.
Dominic transferred a hand to cup one of her breasts through her shirt and nuzzled her neck. Cassie felt herself grow weak with longing and began to turn to face him. They pulled each other close kissing each other and moaning just audibly.
Suddenly Dominic smiled against Cassie’s lips and she drew back a little to look into his eyes.
“What Dominic?”
He shook his head. “Nothing bad, I am so desperate to make love to you I can’t think straight”.
Cassie nodded again. “Dominic I want you too. We could just go over to your cottage”.
Dominic didn’t need another prompt. He took her hand and walked her over to his place.
Once inside the house they began to undress each other, and they made it upstairs. Dominic was soon dressed only in his jeans and he lifted Cassie up pulling off her boots and jeans as he kissed her. His kisses were so intense they drove Cassie to gasp. Dominic pulled down her lace underwear, and began to whisper to her as he found her wet for him and pushed his fingers into her.
“Cassie, I’ve never felt like this. I want to say things to you that I have never said to a woman. I want to push into you so hard, and so deep you moan, and come again, and again for me. It’s overwhelming”.
Cassie held his head and kissed him hard. “Say them Dominic, the words, say them”.
He had his eyes closed as she kissed him, his fingers inside her and his erection pressed into the side of her body where he had her lifted to him.
He groaned and shook his head slightly. He was shocked by it. Instead, he lay her on the bed, and entered her with a low moan thrusting deep until he felt as if he would come without giving her the pleasure he wanted to, and he slowed down.
“Cassie ride me”, he whispered, turning over holding her, so that she straddled him.
Cassie sat up on him. She moved on him only for seconds before her orgasm ripped through her making her lie forward over him and try to reach his lips. Dominic caught her head to his and kissed her. He left his lips against hers but moved his hands to hold her hips and press her down to meet his thrusts. His orgasm knocked the breath out of him and he groaned into her mouth.

E.R. Pierce - The Next Big Thing


Good Morning! I am so happy to participate in the Next Big Thing, blog hop.  I have to thank Hunter S. Jones for asking me to participate. At the end of the post you will find links to the next big thing authors. Please, follow their links and check out what they have to offer.

What is the (working title) of your book?
Duality,  A Cordelia Kelly Novel.
Where did the idea come from for the book?
Cordelia is an empath, and she reads people really well. She struggles with her light and dark sides. The idea stemmed from myself, as I have the innate ability to do the same.
What genre does your book fall under?
Darker, more Urban Fantasy, I suppose. There are sexual overtones, sexuality, and sensuousness about Duality, so it bridges the gap, in my opinion. It’s hard to pin the genre down, so I would leave it up to you, once you read it.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
Cordelia would be tough to cast, but maybe Scarlett Johansen or Kirsten Dunst. I also really love Melanie Martinez from the NBC show, THE VOICE. But she is really young. For Sol… Man, I have no idea. He would be impossible to cast. He’s mysterious, alluring, intelligent, dangerous and he oozes pheromones.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Duality is about balancing your needs and wants. There is a thin line between good and evil, and Cordelia walks the line with soft feet.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
I self-publish
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
About 3 months. My muse can be fickle and sometimes takes off for a while. But also, I have four kids, a husband and a household to run, and they sometimes have to come first.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
I’m not sure, to be honest. Empaths aren’t all the rage, currently.
Who or What inspired you to write this book?
My need to release the emotions pent up inside my head.
What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?
I think a lot of readers will relate on some level to Cordelia. She’s a good person, her heart is always in the right place, but sometimes she makes bad decisions, and she’s had a lot of trauma in her life. She struggles with herself, with her opinions, with her needs and wants.

My Next Big Thing Authors:
Hunter S. Jones penned Fables of the Reconstruction. An erotic zombie story set in London’s White Chapel District. Check out her blog, her book, and prepare to be entertained.
Nichelle Gregory writes extremely sexy stories, and you should totally check out all her books on Amazon. I’m proud to have Nichelle as a friend.
Jinni James is a new friend of mine, and she just revealed her brand new cover on my blog, for Aspen’s Vamp.
Elodie Parks is a new author who penned The Horoscope Writer
Lisa Worrall is an amazing author friend of mine who specializes in heartwarming m/m romances.
Provocative erotica designed to turn you on by Secret Narrative writing as Elizabeth Woodham. Elizabeth lives and works in London, England. Her titles feature engaging, believable characters, and great storytelling. Always passionate and erotic, sometimes amusing, occasionally harsh, she wishes you as much pleasure reading her stories as she’s had creating them.

GL Giles - The Next Big Thing

First, I’d like to thank Hunter S. Jones athttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B009SCXVMK for inviting me to participate in my first ‘blog hop’. I’m publishing mine a few hours early---take that Mercury Retrograde! 

What is the (working title) of y
our book?
The title of our book is "Unputdownable Tales of Terror," though we usually just call it UTOT. Our standing joke is that it's not a book venerating a fictional god of Egypt; rather, it's a book I co-wrote with Lynn Anders---filled with our stygian stories, song lyrics and poems (many previously published in other anthologies).
Where did the idea come from for the book?
I can't remember exactly how we came up with the idea for our book, but I met Lynn Anders at a Waldenbooks signing a little over three years ago, and we've been close friends since. She and I were both signing, and we had a blast at that signing and lots of other ensuing Waldenbooks signings---till they closed shop last year. We thought it would be fun to promote something together, and it has been! In fact, we're looking forward to collaborating together again in the future!
What genre does your book fall under?

The short stories fall in the horror and dark fantasy genres, though I like to employ lots of dark humor and even love being campy at times, too. In my opinion, there should be a genre for just vampire lit. at this point, too! :) In which case, our book would fall in that genre as well.
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

In my short story titled "Nine Strippers," one of the nine is a male, so I could see him (my unscrupulous kind of psychic vamp, a character called Sergeant Tachyon) played by Gerard Butler, my YATV (Young Adult Turned Vampire in my world of many different vampire species and supspecies) female protagonist named Jade played by someone like Jessica Biel or a younger Angela Bassett or a younger Demi Moore. Even a relatively unknown actress would do well as my lead YATV, if they met the criteria: namely a strong-willed female with a super-muscular body to match. My positive kind of psychic vamp, a female character named Portia, I could see being played by Emilia Clarke; I love her character, Daenerys Targaryen in the television series, "Game of Thrones." I’ve created enough characters in my short stories and novels over the years to probably employ half of Hollywood.
What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

A collection of stygian stories, song lyrics and poetry (many previously published in anthologies, etc.) by G.L. Giles and Lynn Anders.
Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

This book was traditionally published, though I have self-published in the past as well. Recently, I've had the good fortune of having two of my previously self-published books picked up by BlackWyrm Publishing: "Water Vamps" and my compendium. I'm elated, to say the least, and I'm also currently writing a zombie novel for BlackWyrm Publishing. So, stay tuned...2013 is already shaping up to be a busy and great year!!!
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

It took us about two years to gather everything, etc.. I interview lots of great fine artists, musicians and writers for Target Audience Magazine at http://targetaudiencemagazine.com/ and I write reviews for Infernal Dreams athttp://www.infernaldreams.net/about-us.html so I generally stay busy!
Who or What inspired you to write this book?

I am always inspired by strong-willed females and males who also show great compassion towards animals and our fellow human beings. I also admire those who aren't afraid of change and strive to make the world a better place. Many of my characters demonstrate these traits in their own way, and the ones who don’t are oftentimes my antagonists. .
What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?

I’m not sure what else I can say to pique a reader’s interest, but I will say in this ‘Blog Hop’ that I’m more than a little interested in paleocontact theory these days, and I would love to find a way to gather together more of the vampy ‘plot bunnies’ hopping around in my mind--- and other zombie plotlines incessantly gnawing at my brain---into future short stories and/or novels one day.
