AAD Featured Author Interview: Stacey Kennedy

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Stacey Kennedy!

Is this your first year attending AAD?
I love AAD so much that this is actually my third year!

What brings you back to AAD?
The people, the parties, basically the FUN! I love the fact that AAD is more intimate. There is a very good chance I’ll see everyone that I’ve met before and meet a lot of new people, and if that isn’t awesome I don’t know what is! I’ve had a total blast every time I’ve attended AAD that it keeps me coming back for more!

So where will attendees be able to find you at AAD? Do you hang out in the bar? The lobby? Or are you the one who throws parties in their room?
Without a doubt, I’ll be at the bar. What can I say? Wine makes me happy. Very happy!! So, please come and have a drink with me. :)

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about?
Yes, I do! Like BDSM, sexy Doms, and a sweet love story? Good. I’ve got you covered. The third CLUB SIN book is coming out just before AAD on July 22nd. Here’s a little bit about it:

Kyler Morgan, Master at the legendary Club Sin in Las Vegas, knows how to give women what they want—too well. He hasn’t had a real challenge in a long time. Then Ella Snow enters his life. Beautiful, inhibited, and innocent in the ways of submission and domination, Ella is the new blood he’s been lusting after. Soon, the thrill of training her to embrace his world brings forth desires Kyler cannot control.

After ending an abusive relationship, Ella makes a promise to herself to start living life to the fullest. It’s one of the reasons she seeks out Club Sin. Here, Kyler’s every touch is a lesson in liberation, stirring passions that have no bounds. But as she falls under Kyler’s command, Ella discovers that some secrets are so dark they must come to light. Submission alone may not be enough to save her, leaving her Master with only one question: How can he help Ella heal while unlocking the deep pleasures she craves?

Tell us about the party you’re hosting at AAD!
I’m a co-sponsor of the Leather & Lace party! Yes, it shall be a sexy night for sure! In fact, I think it’s a perfect night to wear a corset!! Oh, and if anyone wants to find me, I’ll be the one on the dance floor!

I heard through the grapevine you’re sponsoring a table at the Sins & Virtues ball. Tell us more!
I’ll be at the Wrath table. This is the first year that I’ll be wearing a costume and I totally admit this whole costume shopping thing was way more fun than I was expecting. If it wasn’t for Etsy, I think I might be in full panic mode, but that online store made life very easy for me. I love, love, love my costume, and I cannot wait to see yours! For my guests at the ball, I have quite a few goodies for you. No secret spilling here, but it shall be a wicked fun night!

Where can readers find you?

AAD Featured Author Interview: Sasha White

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Sasha White!

Is this your first year attending AAD?

Nope. It’s my third, and I love it more and more each year.

What brings you back to AAD?

It’s the perfect sized event. Large enough that there are always new attendees, yet small enough that I get a chance to really connect with people. Stella makes sure to stack her events with authors who truly care about readers, and this makes the events very personable, with a close-knit community feeling. I love that I get to see many of the same readers and authors each year, as well as always meet new ones.

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about?

A couple actually. *grin*

Wicked Game and Too Close are novellas that were recently released and that I’ll be signing. They’re my first forays into romantic suspense, each with a super sexy edge.

I’m also one of the authors in the MASTERED box set, and will have print copies of my story (Chrysalis: a Dungeon Novella) from that to sell & sign at AAD.

Tell us about the party you’re hosting at AAD!

On Wednesday Night Joey W. Hill and I are doing our Erotic Trivia Hour again this year. It’s sort of a cross between Jeopardy and Family Fued with volunteers from the audience. Everyone has a chance to win stuff, and it was so much fun last year we had to make it an annual event. It’s it’s only an hour long, but it’s a blast (and we give the first 75 people in the door a goody bag they’ll enjoy)

What panels will you be on at AAD?

I’m super excited about all the panels I’m on this year.  The Romantic Suspense and  Anti-Heros panels are new for me and I can’t wait to talk about my latest releases ( Wicked Game and Too Close  ) as well as share some exclusive snippets for what’s to come in the next year.  I’m also part of the BDSM:Different Strokes for Different Folks, and I always have a good time talking naughty stuff with the authors and readers at those. ;)   

If an adoring fan wanted to buy you a drink at the bar, what’s your poison?

Patron or Don Julio. I love me some tequila.

AAD Featured Author Interview: Tilly Greene

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Tilly Greene!

Yah!  I’m so glad to be here … thank you for having me.  Grap your cup of coffee, tea or whatever your poison is … mine is Coke … and let’s natter.

Is this your first year attending AAD?
HA!  Ummm, NO!  I’ve been going to AAD since day naught and have loved every one.  Each year is slightly different but what’s the same is the fun to be had.

What brings you back to AAD?
Reconnecting with people and meeting new ones, those are the two things AAD offers and they never grow old.  There’s loads of fun to be had, book chatter to indulge and parties to flutter around, but honestly it’s all about the people who attend.  I could care less where they are held because I rarely leave the hotel or see my room for that matter … there is that much happening!  I think last year I was up and ready to play by 10 and in bed by 2, sometimes 3, and it was all fun and I have the pictures to prove it.

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about?
I do, thank you for asking.  Pleasured in London, a contemporary erotica with bondage and ménage a trois short, is the second book in my Pleasured in… series and will be released in June by me.  Come Back, my new shape shifter based in New York City is the first in a trilogy and out in July through Torrid Books.  Both of these will be available as ebooks.  As for paperback, well, I plan to have a super secret surprise book, fingers crossed, and then there’s Branded – my contemporary multicultural western BDSM anthology with A Wild Ride, that can only be found in Branded.

Tell us about the party you’re hosting at AAD!
There are two I have a hand in.  One is the cocktail party before the Bookies, which I adore!  They honor people in the industry, from bloggers to writers, and that is not done anywhere else.  At the cocktail party I should be able to unveil the super secret surprise book … ooo, three s’s, must be special!  The other event is the Paranormal Party.  Both are totally different and will be fun to attend.  Oh and there will be goodies to collect as well!

What panels will you be on at AAD?
I’ll be sitting on the multicultural/interracial, multiple partners, shifters and a readers rule panel … all different, good fun, full of information and goodies, cool swag goodies!  Oh, and I plan to have a bag of stuff like an AAD t-shirt and a mug to giveaway at one of the panels, sweet!

We’re all excited about the book signing. What books will you have on hand to sign and sell?
I write what I ready, everything, so it’s a mixed bag of delight.  Zandia is a futuristic and empowers women, Highland Heat is a shape shifter and you can’t help but fall in love with the hero Hamish Buchanan, Mythological Messes Redux has six Greek mythology stories where I’ve extended the traditional myth for a new and better ending and a few of them you’ve probably never heard of, and I can’t forget my new book, Branded, which I told you about above … cowboys are so bloody sexy, especially when they’re into BDSM!  Did I mention most of these books have BDSM in them?  Yeah, when we say I write it hot, it’s steam with the ladies bound and taken!  Not one of these books is the same, not even the super secret surprise book.  What I can say is they all would make a fantastic read while sunning yourself poolside or curled up on the couch … I’m all about the read!

Where can readers find you?
When I’m dodging deadlines, I am EVERYWHERE!  First there’s my website, like BAM, everything to know is there and then there’s  Facebook [it’s a habit] and my FB Profile [please, like me, I have so few ], Pinterest [totally addicted to clothes I’d never wear and hot dudes], Twitter [is where I drop random tidbits that float through my mind] and when I have a free minute I add to my Hot Thoughts Blog.

Can’t wait to see you all in Charlotte … make sure and hunt me down to say Hi!  I love meeting new to me people

Lea Griffith's new release, Too Much!

In Lea Griffith’s Loveswept debut, a novel that’s perfect for erotic romance readers, two lovers who have shared exquisite pain and unforgettable bliss find solace back in each other’s arms.

Jeremiah Copeland and Daly Edwards have a history. Even though he grew up a criminal struggling to care for two younger siblings, and she’s the pampered daughter of a power-hungry senator, they formed a bond that nothing could break. Only a lack of trust ripped them apart. 

Seven years later, Daly has reason to believe that Jeremiah’s brother is in trouble. She reaches out to Jeremiah the only way she knows how: at his BDSM club, The Underground. But one look ignites a heat she thought had cooled forever. As Jeremiah takes control of her body once again, Daly quickly loses control of her carefully rebuilt world. Too much has never been enough between them, and as danger swirls in the shadows, Jeremiah forces Daly to recognize what has never changed: She still loves him. His command is that she return her heart—and he will make her obey.

Too Much is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | iBooks | Kobo 

Lea Griffith began sneaking to read her mother’s romance novels at a very young age. She cut her teeth on the greats: McNaught, Woodiwiss and Garwood. As she got older, her need to devour all genres of romance–including contemporary, paranormal and sci/fi–grew. Any romance novels she couldn’t buy were borrowed or tradedl in her quest to read about that elemental emotion that keeps us strong: love. She still has most of those books; dog-eared, their pages yellowed with age, they still bring her joy.

Lea lives with her husband and three teenage daughters in rural Georgia and she writes her own stories now. With two dogs, a cat and a beta fish named Coddy George, there is never a dull moment. When she’s not working her day job you can usually find Lea at her keyboard, using every spare second to write. Shifters, artificial intelligence, and gene splicing, oh my! Nothing is off-limits when it comes to her writing.

AAD Featured Author Interview: Becca Jameson

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Becca Jameson!

Is this your first year attending AAD? Yes

What made you want to come to AAD? Sidney Bristol told me about it! You might know her...hehe.

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about? Come. The first book in The Fight Club series. It’s a steaming hot, six-book series that features six guys who not only work out at the same gym as MMA fighters, but also belong to the same BDSM club.

If you were to suggest one of your books to the AAD attendees, which book would it be? Come, which releases July 3 as e-book and will also quickly be available in print. In fact, I will have about 100 copies with me at AAD to give away at the luncheon held on Thursday!

Tell us about the party you’re hosting at AAD! I’ll be hosting a luncheon on Thursday with four other authors: Sasha White, Opal Carew, Bianca D’Arc, and Delilah Devlin.

If an adoring fan wanted to buy you a drink at the bar, what’s your poison? I’m a red wine gal!

SWAG. We all love SWAG! What cool stuff are you bringing? Ooh! I have drawstring bags. They are purple! Come find me and make one of them yours! They say: Becca Jameson...where Alphas dominate… Since I’m both a wolf girl and a BDSM girl!

AAD Featured Author Interview: Sidney Bristol

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Sidney Bristol!

Hey! Thanks for having me.

Is this your first year attending AAD?

This will be my first year as a featured author *jazz hands*. I went a few years ago when it was in New Orleans and it was a blast.

What brings you back to AAD?

I had SO much fun as an attendee I just had to come back again, and I’m super excited about it. I might be counting down the days, hours and minutes already...

So where will attendees be able to find you at AAD? Do you hang out in the bar? The lobby? Or are you the one who throws parties in their room?

Hey, what happens behind closed doors is secret! I’m kidding. Chances are I’ll be in the bar a little, but I want to be wherever the action is. I’m at AAD to hang out with awesome people, so, I guess the question is, Where will YOU be? Because that’s where I’m going!

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about?

Yes! Today, actually, Duty Bound is releasing. It’s the second in my Bayou Bound series about cops and bounty hunters finding their kinky love while battling the bad guys of New Orleans. I classify it as BDSM suspense.

If you were to suggest one of your books to the AAD attendees, which book would it be?

Dang, that’s a hard one. Either Under His Skin, the first in my So Inked series about female tattoo artists. Or, Picture Her Bound, the first in the Bayou Bound series.

I heard through the grapevine you’re sponsoring a table at the Sins & Virtues ball. Tell us more!

I am!!! Who told you? I must thank them. Anyways, I’ll be at the Temperance Table, where we will be practicing the art of restraint. There will be handcuffs, rope and naughty toys to give out to the people who sit with me.

What panels will you be on at AAD?

I’m on four! I think I’m on every single BDSM panel, and one called Sexy, Sexy, Sexy. I’m really excited about being on the BDSM panel where we talk about bringing the kink out of the books and into the bedroom. That’s going to be a fun panel!

If an adoring fan wanted to buy you a drink at the bar, what’s your poison?

Dr Pepper…  I know, not as exciting, but man, I’m an addict!!

SWAG. We all love SWAG! What cool stuff are you bringing?

Well, I won’t say exactly, because it’s a surprise, but I will have some very special kinky prizes to give out. Also, everyone will be receiving some collector pins from me. Attendees can come find me to get additional pins for their collection!!

Standing in her way? The very dominant bounty hunter Jacques Savoy. Jacques has been watching out for Officer Foucheaux. He wants her safe from harm as much as he desires her body, her soul—and her submission. Odalia’s in trouble and struggling to walk the line of the law. His solution? Work together to find out who stole her pictures, what the thief wants and how to stop him. And if they find a pleasure unlike any other along the way, well, laissez les bons temps rouler. Let the good times roll.

Can someone be good, bad and kinky - all at once?

The short answer is YES!

Most people are genuinely good and occassionally do something "out of character" or bad. That doesn't make them a bad person, I think it makes them human. Now, as for the kinky bit, well, when I use the word "kinky" I mean it in a sexual not-vanilla sense, and how a person enjoys their sex doesn't define them as being good or bad either.  As far as I'm concerned, people never stop learning and the Good, Bad and Kinky duet is grounded in the idea that it's never wrong to make a change in our lives or try something new to us.  Nothing about living is set in stone and that means everything is possible, like the Devil retiring or an angel giving up the good life in Heaven.

In Call Me Lucifer, deep down in his soul, Lucifer - yes, the Devil - is a good person with a touch of bad to keep his lady love on her toes. And in the newly released My Angel, Ann Miller may be a guardian angel, but when offered a chance to live the life she never had, she goes for it and lets her naughty inclinations free!


Call Me Lucifer by Tilly Greene
Paranormal Erotic Romance/Bondage and D/s
Available through Whiskey Creek Press Torrid and Amazon

He is much more than the horrific job title and now he needs to prove it to her!

Lucifer, the Prince of Darkness, works hard dishing out punishments and asks for little in return, until now. He's been waiting an eternity for a woman who would bring out his gentle side, his need to love and be loved in return. He’d started to wonder if she even existed but at last he’s found her, in a courtroom arguing for a tougher sentence.

After his first introduction to Nia Adams, a sexy petite firebrand, he spends all his time on the surface at her side. They have a serious relationship and he’s sure the emotion bouncing between them is love. Then she lies to him about how she feels.

While difficult to hear, the lie opens a door. It gives him the only chance he’ll ever have to show her who the man behind the horrific job title really is. And he takes it with both hands.  

My Angel by Tilly Greene
Paranormal Erotic Romance/Bondage
Available through Whiskey Creek Press Torrid and Amazon

Not everything worth having is easy to obtain.

Ann Miller was murdered as a toddler and ended up in Heaven without ever really living. She’s never questioned what she missed experiencing, not until she earns her Guardian Angel wings. With them fluttering happily around her, she discovers what being in love truly feels like and wants to embrace it fully.

As a drummer for the band of the decade, Tom Baker leads a decadent life that takes a toll on him, and he works hard to take back control of his life. Ann is there to watch over him and the more time she spends with him, the more she wants. Then her luck changes.

Ann is given the chance to live again with the man she loves, but there are conditions. She must wait for him to proclaim his heart first...and there’s a time limit.

There you go, hints a fun duet where everyone is good, bad and kinky.

Enjoy!

Can the devil be a romantic hero?

While daydreaming, I wondered if Lucifer, Satan, the Devil, whatever you call him, I wondered if he could be a hero - a romantic hero with honest love and respect for a woman.  I didn't want it to be a man called Lucifer or a devil of a character who finds love, I wanted to rework the actual evil incarnate into a dreamboat.  A dreamboat who isn't a neutered version, but one retains some naughtiness that he embraced for an eternity.

It was a blast to flesh out someone with the worst reputation known to exist.  So, was I successful in the challenge I set out to fulfill?  I think so, but now you can judge for yourself.
