Violet the Organ Grinder: Some Like it Hot Bundle By: July Cumming



Violet the Organ Grinder:
Some Like it Hot Bundle

(Taboo Erotica Vol. 1-4)
By: July Cumming

Violet is a stage actress in the big apple, New York City. She loves her life, and just how fast paced it is, and the fun that she has along with it.

Until one day, Violet happens across the wrong kind of man who manages to turn her fast paced normal life upside down. His name is Tyson, and he wants to use Violet and change her not only for his own desires, but for those of his clientele as well…

One thing you need to note when reading these books, is that these are erotic. In other words the language will include sex, and sex, and did I mention sex. So when one reads sex there will be words that are not meant for six year olds, or even ten year olds. These are adult books. If you do not fancy reading about adult anatomy, and sex, than this book is not for you. You have been warned by myself, and will again be warned by the author.

This is a bundle, meaning there are four books in this set. First we have:

Violet the Organ Grinder: Love is a battlefield (Entertaining the Troops)

Tyson has found the talented and sexy, and very gifted Violet to be very forth…um..cumming when it comes to satisfying those who have sexual desires. So he decided it would be a great gift to the troops to offer Violets services. 

Violet will be performing on a small stage, and the lucky ones could join in. Tyson was certain he found a way to get rich, and satisfy everyone’s needs at the same time. 

The question is, will Violet be able to satisfy the starved men in uniform? And can she handle all of this action herself, and even the action of a couple of war heroes? 

Violet has learned that she does in fact enjoy watching and satisfying the sexual appetite, even her own, but also that it can cum with learning a few new things along the way.

I liked the fact that this story was a little bit different and that she was treating the military, and that everyone was having a great time. I also enjoyed the depth of the story, and the sensual kinkiness to it. I love the way with words, it was truly…sexy.

Violet the Organ Grinder: Danger Zone (Taught a Lesson in the End)

Violet in this story, has a wild awakening. She is awakened by desire from her lover, and a lusting man watching. 

Violet is already ready to explode, from the inside and out. But she knows there are always rules. And Violet and Tyson had been playing the night before, and she knows there are always consequences if you break the rules. The problem is, the pressure is building, and she knows it. 

When sex and kinky fun are what you do, and crave, sometimes control is not an option. Especially when the things that are happening around you, are exactly what you like, and need, and crave. How can you be expected to control yourself?

The part I liked best about this story was control, and choices, as well as lessons. I also enjoyed the fact of waking up to sex, and the dom, and an audience. This story was extremely exciting. I was left wanting more, and truly wanting to be there!

What will happen if Violet cannot control herself, or will she? What is the lesson here?

Violet the Organ Grinder: Innocence (A DD/LG Age-Play Taboo Story)

This story takes place in the deep south, I love the way it is told. Violet overhears her Master making arrangements with the man in the farmhouse. Violet cannot refuse the offer of candy and wet and wild ride for her play time fun.

Every bit of this story seemed so realistic, I couldn’t help but enjoy it immensely. This was one of my favorites, because I have never read anything like it. 

Violet the Organ Grinder: Lick it Up (Gang Sharing Hotwife Erotica Novella)

Texas where everything is supposed to be bigger! A BBQ, serving thick and juicy beef, Violet is on the menu. Over twenty hunky and chunky menu have an appetite for Violet, where she is serving up dessert, or is she the dessert?! Whatever the case may be, will Violet get to satisfy their needs, or will they satisfy hers? Or will it be an all around happy ending?

This was just what every woman wonders about. Can one woman please every man? Wouldn’t we like to try it? Would we ever? We sure do enjoy reading about it! 

Reading books like these, for us women anyway, gives us great pleasure to see a woman maintain the ability to please every man she is with. Because we would love to be in your shoes. Though we would never try it, (or would we?) Reading things like this, manages to get us wet, so that we can roll over and climb on and mount that sleeping hunk beside us, and wake him from his snoring sleep, and say:

 “Honey, I was just thinking about you.”



When really, we were thinking about Violet. This bundle of books is a five star read, and very worth your time to sneak into bed beside your husband and read silently while he is snoring and read a chapter or two, and then either give him some action. Or if you are alone, spend some much needed time with B.O.B. 

These books will give you the much needed desire to take care of everything you need to, trust me. Violet and July Cumming are great together. I am so glad I had the opportunity to enjoy these!



My questions for July:
1. What made you write this series, and how long did it take?
Believe it or not, it was meant to be a very short story, but I enjoy too many kinks to pick only one to write about. So I created Violet, who is forced to do whatever I want her to do. Each story in the series took at least two months to write. I'm super picky with the choice of words used in my highly descriptive stories and take my time to make it perfect in my eyes.


2. What made you become an erotic author?
I once told an online friend about one of my sexual experiences. The friend told me I was great at telling a highly vivid story and that I should write erotica. I had no interest in writing, but after being told many times that I had a knack for it, I decided to pursue writing.

I took about seven writing classes over a six-month period and improved what little skills I had. I challenged myself by trying to write 50k words in 30 days with NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). By the time it was done, I had half of the 50k, which I was perfectly content with. I surprised myself that I could accomplish that much in so little time.

I searched online for a publisher with a call for submissions and found one who liked my story. Under a different pen name, I published three short stories, but after not seeing anything in return, I decided I could do it on my own. 


3. Is 'July Cumming' a pen name? I get the last name, but why July? Is that when you birthed your first horny book?
July is one of the hottest months as well as my actual birth month. Cumming seemed to work perfectly with it. 


4. What is your favorite book of all time?
Misery by Stephen King.

5. Have you ever met any writers or authors in your time? 
None face to face. Everyone I know is online.


6. What are your hobbies?
I love to cook and make up dishes as I'm cooking them. I'm always giving my mom leftovers and she's always asking for the recipe in which I never use. Other than cooking, I love singing at karaoke.


7. Do you ever get horny while writing?
If I'm writing a story and it doesn't send tingles down to my naughty bits, I'm not writing the scenes hot enough. It takes a lot to get me worked up. Once I get that urge to have a cold shower, then I know my scenes will or should be enough to arouse my readers. 

8. Do you make sure your sex scenes work?
I visualize most of the things I haven't done. If I'm stuck and want to make sure it works, I'll look it up on a porn site. Most often I get it right.


9. What is your favorite book of your own writings?
Bending Over For Jeff but I also love my Violet series just as much.


10. Who is your favorite author?
Stephen King

Two Steps Forward- Embracing Life with a Brain Tumor by Claire Snyman



Two Steps Forward
Embracing Life with a Brain Tumor
By: Claire Snyman

I found Claire on twitter through a friend of mine known by the name of Lou and twitter handle of @TumorWarrior. He and I have been mutual friends for years, and he has led me to understand, support, and even understand many kinds of brain tumors. 

When I found Claire on Lou’s page, I read up about her, and found that she had written a book, and learned everything I could about her, before I even contacted her. And then I decided more needed to know about her, and learn the things I have been learning. 

Many do not know about brain tumors, and many think that once people get tumors, they are a lost cause, and see them instantly and assume for the worst. I am not saying that that is not the case, but I want to let you the readers see, that sometimes there are lights at the end of the tunnels, and I also want you to see, that there are in fact, many struggles along the way. 

My goal here is: to help you as the reader, to see many new ways to look at brain tumors. Not just to cross the person off your list as a lost cause, and think that there is nothing more you can do, and not just to walk away. People with brain tumors have many different survival rates, and they need you and I. Just as much as anyone else. 

So allow me to share with you the insight I found when I read Claire Snyman’s beautiful book that allows you into her mind where she takes: “Two Steps Forward.”
 
In the beginning, Claire just thought she had a migraine and had been over doing it at work. She was only 34, married and has a young son. No one plans to get a brain tumor.

Claire shows you her feelings, her thoughts, her anger, her pain, and everything she has felt from the beginning and how she even dealt with it.

Her tumor was discovered to be a colloid cyst in the third ventricle and it caused vertigo and many migraines. It led her to the ER frequently, which is how it was discovered. It was 1.2 centimeters. And no sign of hydrocephalus or ventricular enlargement. It is considered to be a  moderately large cyst. The neurosurgeon states that if it is removed, they are uncertain if it will result in any improvement of Claire’s headache symptoms.

Claire and her husband decide to go and see Doctors in UCLA give her a much different opinion which is no longer watch and wait, but now a more subtle kind of “you matter, let’s get this taken care of.” approach. 

After a year of dealing with the tumor, Claire’s migraines have continued and now she has a problem with blurred vision in one eye. 

Although Claire is still working, she has found that her priorities seem to be changing. She wants to spend more time with her four year old son Aiden, and even her loving and supportive husband. Life now, seems more important than work. Life matters more now, and Claire wants to live it to its fullest and enjoy every moment.

Next comes a ringing in Claire’s ear, and hearing loss, to the point that she has to lip read, and is unable to hear a lot of things. This is another disappointing step for Claire. 

One day, while in the Doctor’s office Clair noticed a ‘Team in Training’ pamphlet. Said pamphlet supports a program to do a half or full marathon to support people with a variety of blood cancers through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. Claire, thinks this will be a nice thing to do, only walking it. She hopes she can do it, the farthest she had ever walked or ran was 10 kilometers. This was 2012 the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon. But after raising $1400 for the marathon Claire ends up tearing a ligament and it must be put on hold for that May.

In August 2012 Claire learns the cyst has grown almost fifty percent in size. She has been having constant migraine and vertigo, nausea, and made best friends with her toilet. She knew something was wrong. 

Shortly after that, Claire’s life becomes a blur. Her legs have stopped working, she is sleeping all the time, she is much weaker, and she has little to no coordination. Her short term memory has been impacted, and she cannot recall anything. Her husband Marchand gets a hold of the doctor feeling this means it is high time to get the ball rolling before Claire deteriorates any further. 

Rather than keep giving you all of the details of this book, which I have skipped over quite a few, I feel you should get your own copy. I just want you to know, this book is very heartfelt, and deep. My emotions had the best of me throughout, and I cried. And then, I even felt relief in some places, and sometimes I cried again. 

This book is full of all kinds of emotions and it is an amazing read. You truly need read this, whether you are a cancer survivor, or know someone going through this, or just want to know. This is a five star read. A very wonderfully strong written five star read. Truly, I am touched by Claire, and her husband. I just cannot say that enough. 

This book, “Two Steps Forward,” is just…amazing read, and so are Claire and her husband. Please check it out, I promise you will be impressed. Thank you Claire, for allowing me the honor and privilege of this interview and reading your book. 


My questions for Claire:
1. What made you write this book and how long did it take you?

One day as I was recovering from my brain surgery, I sat down in front of my computer and started to write to help me deal with the flurry of emotions I was feeling. I found it tremendously helpful and good for my soul and continued to do so almost every day. I saw it as my personal journal. It was at my visit to my clinical psychologist for post-traumatic stress after my surgery that she suggested turning it into a book to help other people who might have travelled a similar path. I then became inspired to start writing a book, based off my personal journal. Two years and 70 000 words later, Two Steps Forward – Embracing life with a Brain Tumor was available in e-book and print copy!

2. Having a brain tumor, is it true everyone thinks of it as a death sentence?

No one can ever prepare you for those words – “You have a brain tumor”—for that feeling when the world stops for a moment and everything outside seems to fade away. For me, my nonmalignant brain tumor did not require immediate surgery but a ‘watch and wait approach’ with yearly MRI’s to ensure the tumor was not encroaching on the important grey and white matter inside my skull. Being nonmalignant did not immediately equate to a death sentence feeling for me even though the tumor I had could result in sudden neurologic deterioration and death. However, the role of living with the uncertainty and the ‘what if’s’ of what would happen in the future were the most challenging things for me to deal with. My tumor was what was called a ‘nonmalignant tumor in a malignant location’ meaning that when it grew too big, it was in a location that was critical to survival and required removal for life to continue.

3. Did you learn a lot more about yourself through this?

Absolutely. Even to this day, four years on, I feel I am still learning things about myself as a result of this experience. For this, I am grateful. I have learnt more about my brain and body than I could ever have thought possible. I now have the utmost respect for my brain and body and what they do for me each and every day, even on my ‘off days’. My off days make me even more grateful for the great days. I have learnt that I am a survivor and can get through more things than I often given myself credit for. I have also realized that I need to be mindful of the balance I create in my life, as this is integral to the health of my body and brain.


4. How much has your life changed, and how much have you changed, if at all?

My life has changed. I have become much more in tune with my body and brain than ever before, by knowing their new minimum and maximum cruising levels.
My eyes have been opened through this experience. To my own inner thoughts, abilities and personal direction as well as really understanding and valuing the role of human connection and my contribution to society. Gratitude for my family, my friends and even the small things around me has shifted to a whole new level. I think the most important thing that has changed is learning to live more in the present by realizing that we are only here for the blink of an eye and that while my life may not be perfect, it certainly has so many perfect moments!
5. What is your favorite book of all time?

The House at Riverton by Kate Morton. I love all her books and am also a big fan of Jane Austen.

6. Do you, or the doctors know if anything caused your brain tumor?

The type of brain tumor I had is congenital, meaning that it is present from birth although the symptoms do not typically present until between the ages of 30-50 years of age. So, this was just something extra that was in my head from day one.

7. Do you have any details you wish to share with my readers, suggestions, or tips, about brain tumors, or health or anything in particular?

There are three things that I find useful to me that I learnt over the past four years since my surgery. They helped me during my recovery (and still do today) and I think can be useful to anyone really.

“Breathe in the small things’ is all about how important it is to embrace and be grateful for the small things in life e.g. taking a moment to notice the different colors of the summer flowers around you.

Be your own advocate” is about being your own champion and standing up tall when things don’t seem right e.g. I will ask for a second opinion on …. I had to practice this several times during the past six years since my diagnosis. A valuable tool!

“Make time your friend” means being accepting of time and not rushing things. We can make progress, by taking one step at a time. e.g. I will take a ten-minute walk each day (to support my body and mind without pushing too far!) I often try and rush ahead and get to the finish line without slowing down to my detriment.

8. What are your hobbies?

I love to walk in nature, love to write, have started playing golf with my husband and son, exercise, bike, drink tea, and have friends over.

9. Do you have any photos you would like to share with us?

Not at this time, maybe later!
