AAD Featured Author Interview: Alyssa Breck

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Alyssa Breck

Is this your first year attending AAD?
No. This is my third year.

What brings you back to AAD?
There are a few things that keep me coming back to AAD. I love hanging out with readers and other authors. AAD is a decidedly more relaxed environment than other cons I’ve attended. The parties are amazing. And the books...so many books! I’m not just an author attending, I’m also a reader.

Do you have a book coming out before AAD you want the attendees to know about?
The first book in my Bad Blood Empire series, Branded by Sin, will be releasing this summer from Ellora’s Cave. I’m super excited about it. I’ll have some swag and cover flats to share at AAD.

Tell us about the party you’re hosting at AAD!
I’m one of the sponsoring authors for the Paranormal Party on Friday afternoon. If you’re into the scary, spooky, vampires and werewolves type books, make sure and drop by for special paranormal swag and books. Oh, and food. There will be yummy snacks for all.

What panels will you be on at AAD?
AAD panels are always so much fun and very interactive. I’m thrilled to be a panelist on Rock and Roll, Vamps, Urban Fantasy and If it Feels Good.

If an adoring fan wanted to buy you a drink at the bar, what’s your poison?
Martinis. Extra Dirty. Like me. *smiles*

We’re all excited about the book signing. What books will you have on hand to sign and sell?
I will have copies of Unraveled, my new rock star novella. I will also have the newly edited version of Giving up the Ghost.

Where can readers find you?
I can be found engaging in shenanigans on Twitter (@AlyssaBreck) and Facebook.

AAD Featured Author Interview: Frances Stockton!

Welcome Authors After Dark 2014 featured author Frances Stockton!

Is this your first year attending AAD?

Yes, it is, and I’m very excited to be among so many talented authors and meet readers and friends.

What made you want to come to AAD?

I’d heard about AAD from authors that I know and admire and have tried to go before. Unfortunately, timing precluded me from attending until a space opened up this time around.

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?

I tend to hang out near or by the bar/lobby area, depending upon how many places are available. I love to talk to people about books, but admit that I can be shy at first. Once I get to know someone, all bets are off.

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

If all goes according to plan, my next book is an Ellora’s Cave Exotica titled Pleasure Trove. It’s my first foray into an erotica that may (or may not) have a HEA ending.

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

Only one? LOL, actually, I would suggest starting from the beginning of my Ink and Kink series with Quarterback Blitz, Ellora’s Cave Sophisticate. That book sets up a six book series, including Phalen Maddox’s first appearance, and readers LOVED him from the start.

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

Cranberry and vodka

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

Pre-made bags of fun Frances Stockton goodies, featuring chocolate, tip cards, body lotions (edible, of course) mints and a few surprises, including chances to win autographed books from my backlist.

Pre-Order Sugar Rush by Leigh Ellwood (AAD Featured Author)

This June, my novella Sugar Rush launches with other lesbian romance stories under the Hot Pink line at Ellora's Cave! I am thrilled to announce that you can pre-order my story at the EC website, at Amazon Kindle, and Barnes and Noble!

About the Book
Available for Pre-order

Kindle ~ Barnes & Noble ~ Ellora's Cave

Baker Neve Rush is surprised to receive social media attention, both the good and bad varieties, after agreeing to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. She cares about people’s tastes in pastries, not sexual partners. The newfound fame has gained her new customers—as well as one resurfaced ex. Gianna stirs up memories Neve would rather forget, and an impromptu flirtation with a client might just do the trick.

Judy Goldsmith finds Neve’s open-mindedness refreshing and attractive, and isn’t above a little scheming to get to know her better. As Neve and Judy satisfy each other’s sweet tooth in the most pleasurable ways possible, feelings begin to blossom. But their deepening attraction may not survive a little white lie…and an even bigger, darker secret.

A Romantica® GLBT erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave

~

Sugar Rush will be followed by Sugar High. If you're looking for a great lesbian romance, hope you enjoy it!

New Release: Hot Tango by Sidney Bristol

Brand new release AND first in a new series from author Sidney Bristol.

Hot Tango, Good Guys Wear Black #1
an erotic suspense novel.

SWAT officer Cole Westling walks a fine line of control. If his wife knew exactly what he wanted to do to her, he’d lose the most precious thing in his life. Instead, he throws himself into work. 

Tanya Westling did not leave her job as a globe-trotting humanitarian to spend her nights playing roller derby and sleeping alone. Armed with a few adult toys and a prayer, she challenges him to a sensual game that will strip away their ideas of what sex should be. 

Cole’s surprised but it’s his dream come true. With each sexual encounter, the walls between them come crumbling down and each must face the truth of what their marriage has been and what it could be. 

Inside Scoop: Contains an alpha hero who wants sex at all hours and a heroine who knows what she wants, just not the words to get it. Also depicts criminal activity, the strong arm of the law and a self-rescuing heroine.

You can purchase Hot Tango at: Ellora's Cave | Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Cover Reveal: Sugar Rush by Leigh Ellwood

I am thrilled to unveil the new cover for Sugar Rush, my first novella with Ellora's Cave. Special thanks to my editor, Kelli Collins, and the artist, Erin Dameron-Hill:

I love it. The cover perfectly suits the story, which is a romance between a baker and a slightly younger woman. I've started the follow up novella, to be called Sugar High, and hope to have news on that very soon.

Sugar Rush is due out through Ellora's Cave in late June, 2014.
