For our third Featured Author Friday I picked Kallypso Masters and TJ Michaels, both of these ladies write smoking hot stories. Have you read them yet?~If not, you are missing out! Kallypso just put out her fourth book in her Master's at Arms series a few weeks ago and just became a grandmother~woohoo & congrats again grammy! TJ and a bunch of authors have been equally busy with a cookbook (Check it out free at https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-passionatecooks-944744-174.html ).
Something that I admire about both of these amazing women is they are advocates for some causes that are near and dear to my heart. Kally through her support of the Wounded Warrior Project and her amazing books dealing with issues like PTSD and sexual abuse; giving support to those survivors hope thru her words. TJ is currently teaming up with a group of other authors for Authors Against Bullying. If you hop over to her site you can read all about the cause and see a list of other authors that are participating in the blog hop.
If you've read any works by either of these authors, drop us a comment and share which book was your favorite! Have a smashing weekend and remember to support the troops(no matter what country you are from, support those who serve your country, and don't forget to speak out against bullying if you see it happening; and lastly don't be a bully~as Ellen says "Be kind to one another!"
Kallypso Masters
About:
Kallypso Masters writes emotional romance novels with dominant men and
the women who bring them to their knees. Sometimes it seems she lives with
these Masters at Arms Doms twenty-four/seven—yes, they tend to dominate her
life. Often, she’ll wake up with one or more characters waiting by her bedside
to share some delicious secret about themselves. It’s a tough job, but she
loves every minute of it.
Kally has been writing
full-time since May 2011, having quit her “day job” the month before to pursue
a full-time writing career. Masters at Arms was her debut novel (published in
August 2011) and was followed by Nobody’s Angel in September and Nobody's Hero
in December. (These are just the manuscripts she’s allowing to be published to
date. Many earlier ones will remain in that box on the shelf where all practice
novels should go.)
She lives in rural
Kentucky and has been married for almost 29 years to the man who provided her
own Happily Ever After. They have two adult children, one rescued dog, and one
rescued cat—and now four Doms (Adam, Marc, Damián, and Luke) and a Domme
(Grant) have taken up residence in her head.

Genre:
BDSM
Works:
Rescue Me Series:
Masters at Arms (#1):
" Masters at Arms begins the journey of three
men, each on a quest for honor, acceptance, and to ease his unspoken pain.
Their paths cross at one of the darkest points in their lives. As they try to
come to terms with the aftermath--forging an unbreakable bond--will they ever
truly become masters of their own fates? Or would fate become masters of them?"
Nobody’s Angel (#2):
" When Marc rescued Angelina from an abusive
Dom at his fetish club, he never imagined she'd upend his safe, controlled
life. But his SAR partner, Luke, a widower, thinks Angelina has been sent to
him by his dead wife. Marc knows only he can fulfill her sexual needs, but
won’t hurt his friend. When the abusive Dom stalks her, she turns to Marc for
help and learns a submissive has power too."
Nobody’s Hero (#3):
“Retired Marine Adam
Montague has survived many war zones, but can he survive the war Karla Paxton
has declared on his heart? Karla fell in love with Adam at 16; nine years
later, she's determined to make 50-year-old Adam see her as a woman. But can
she submit to his Dominant personality? And will she be able to get him to surrender
to her and lay his ghosts to rest?”
Nobody’s Perfect (#4):
“Savannah Gentry, now
Savi Baker, escaped the abuse, torture, and degradation forced upon her by a
sadistic father for eleven years and has made a safe life for herself and her
daughter. When her father threatens her peace of mind--and her daughter's
safety--Savi runs to Damian Orlando for protection. Eight years earlier, young
Savannah shared one perfect day with Damian that changed both their young lives
and resulted in a secret she can no longer hide. But being with Damian
reawakens repressed memories and feelings she does want to keep hidden--buried.
At Damian's private Masters at Arms Club, she discovers that sexual healing
might be achieved through BDSM (Bondage, Dominance/submission,
sadomasochism)—specifically SM administered by a loving Service Top named
Damian.”

TJ Michaels
About:
TJ picked up her first romance novel, a book by Heather Graham, back in
1994. It was love at first page. She thought, “I love this! I can write this, I
know I can.” And she sat down and wrote a book full of alpha guys and their
kick butt women. That book sat on a shelf while TJ raised her kids and
established her career.
One day her son asked,
“Hey mom, when are you going to do something with that big book you wrote when
I was little?” After cocking her head sideways and giving it some thought, TJ
sat down and wrote what became her first published work. She hasn’t looked
back, though she does still ask her kids for suggestions.
TJ is now an
award-winning author of several romance genres, including paranormal, fantasy,
sci-fi and urban fantasy romance. Writing like a madman, TJ hasn’t lost steam.
Her mind? Yep, that’s gone, but steam there is a-plenty. A true Taurus, TJ
isn’t slowing down and she’s definitely too stubborn to stop when she sees the
fence!
No matter the genre TJ
is penning, her favorite thing to do is build worlds. To take you somewhere
extraordinary. To transport you to a place where you can close your eyes and
slip into your fantasy…
Genre:
Paranormal, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Urban Fantasy
Works:
Vampire Council of
Ethics:
Carianian’s Seeker
" She's his target.and his mate. Aw, hell!
Book One in the Vampire Council of Ethics series. Beautiful genius, Carinian
Derrickson, wants to live long enough to date a man from the future generations
of spacemen, complete with ray guns and starships. She's not crazy, she's just
afraid of dying young of some dreaded disease, like all the rest of her family.
Her research into gene therapy has shown her the way to extend her life is by
emulating traits only before seen in fiction. Vampire fiction. Only the beings
that shouldn't exist are very real indeed. Unknown to her, there's a bad boy
vampire in the lab next door with a goal quite the opposite of hers. If he has
his way, he'll bring the Vampire Council of Ethics (V.C.O.E.) to its knees. Jon
Bixler is a Seeker for the Council-an assassin and undercover operative in a
world of humans. Bix must get close enough to this rogue to find out exactly
how he plans to dismantle the Council. And Carinian is just the ticket. But
when he meets her, all his vampire common sense flies out the window as his
libido leaps off the charts. What's he going to do now that the woman is in
danger and secretly trying to do the impossible? Bix and Carin can't deny the
combustion of love and lust between them. They accept their mating. But can
they stay alive long enough to enjoy it?"
Seals of Destiny:
Silk Road
" In this gritty Urban Fantasy Romance, the
first Descendant in millennia with the power to use an ancient artifact is
being hunted. By the good, the bad...and the worst.
Jayla Protegenu
learned as a child to call her protectors to keep at bay the things that
prowled the night. Now, as a woman grown, she never expected one of those
protectors would be a Fallen angel - Larien. His job: to help Jayla find the
mythical and mystical Seal of Solomon.
Every rogue longs for
a second chance, right? Wrong. Larien, former angel of The Host is not looking for redemption. What he needs
hasn't been seen in millennia but he'll search the ends of the Earth to find it
- from the hills of San Francisco all the way to...the Silk Road.
He's the only one
Jayla can be sure of. But even among those who created the very meaning of good
and evil, nothing is black and white. And neither friends nor enemies are what
they appear."
Hunters for Hire:
Death and Roses
" Death—so skilled, grown men cry at her
approach. Roses—so sweet, she enchants ther senses. Scharsi—for one man, an
unbelievably sexy combination of the two.The Amalgamation is the definition of
evil in her world. Scharsi has spent years hiding from them. Now she must hunt
the agent who killed the only man who ever loved her. Nobody will stop
her.Tanil, an Amalgamation officer left for dead by his own crew, must avoid
capture. On the run, wounded and weak, he comes upon the one woman in the
’verse he should be running from. But Scharsi isn’t what the government claims
she is—a born and bred killer. Deadly? Absolutely…but addictive, hot. She makes
his skin sizzle and sends his blood racing with a look. Her touch? Devastating.
He wants her, needs her.Scharsi doesn’t have time for distractions while on a
hunt, but Tanil won’t hesitate to prove that a bit of delicious distraction is
just what she needs."

Loved meeting you at AAD-NOLA in 2012 and can't wait to see you again in Savannah! Thanks for this lovely tribute!
I think Grammas probably should be writing cookbooks rather than about hot Marines with kinky sexual natures, but, well, my grandson will have the coolest Gramma out there, so it's okay. LOL (Oh, but I did write a couple family and church cookbooks in my earlier life, so it's time to get wild and play.)
Thanks for mentioning the Wounded Warrior Project. SO many of my readers are military family members and that organization has done SO much to help them all recover from the aftermath of combat. A project very close to my heart and I encourage everyone to sign up for their Advanced Guard and make monthly contributions. Money well spent.
Gramma Kally
Congrats Kallypso on your Grandson!!
I've read some books by TJ Michaels and Kallypso Masters books are are the list of to buy.
I have read all of Kallypso Master's books thus far. Each one of them fantastic and offer their own unique story with super hot marines as Dom's and great women that steal their hearts.
Sorry to say I have not yet read anything from TJ Michaels, but will definitely look for something from her now. I have already purchased my ticket for the Authors After Dark Convention in Savannah, GA 2013! Can't wait to meet all my favorite authors and new ones I hope to meet as well.
