Bella Swann shares "The Claiming of Angelica the SuperNatural Sleuth"...

Bella Swann 

Shares with me: "The Claiming of Angelica, the SuperNatural Sleuth" 'Her Erotic Adventures in the Kaiju Kingdom'

I've noticed that many have pet peeves about erotica. I'm not one of them. I in fact will read anything, that is just how much I love to read: which is why I felt I could be a critic with a blog about books. I'm open minded and love to read. 

Sorry, I know I often share a bit of me as I write as well. But that's what makes life interesting. Reading, learning and sharing....

Bella Swann is an excellent writer, her words are sensual to say the least. And I won't lie, she managed to awaken my insides rather quickly, and often. Her main character Angelica in my eyes, is extraordinarily beautiful. In real life, it takes contact lenses to have violet eyes. This lovely lady had them, and a body to die for. She is spirited, and just amazing. 

Angelica (after researching Bella and the character of Angelica) is a heroine who continuously goes out to help others, and she does this through sex, BDSM, and pain. She isn't afraid to use her body for this, because it pleases her, and in the end it is a much needed satisfaction and pleasure that she truly needed to feel like none other. 

There are many books out about Angelica, as you can tell. I don't know if they need to be read in any particular order. But when I read this one, I was pleased, and intend to seek out the rest of them. I would like to read more, and continue seeing how Angelica solves more problems. I think you should too. Who knew solving problems could be so... Sexual. (Big smile!) 

I give this book five stars and look forward to hearing more from Angelica and Bella in the near future. Hopefully in my inbox too! 

Here are my questions for Bella:

What made you decide to write this book?

 
I love watching science fiction and fantasy movies and always have been fascinated by the human-monster relationships that developed in them. The curse of an erotica writer who specializes in writing about kinky monster sex and BDSM is always to imagine how humans would have sex with these monsters in order to conquer or be conquered sexually by them. This book, The Claiming of Angelica, the Supernatural Sleuth: Her Erotic Adventures in the Kaiju Kingdom was inspired by the movie Pacific Rim as well as the Godzilla movies. I simply imagined how Angelica’s complete sexual submission to the Kaiju could prevent an apocalypse.
 

Are any of the characters derived from people you know?

 
No. As a supernatural sleuth, however, Angelica is my erotic homage to Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Tomb Raider. She’s a beautiful woman with a lot of spunk – if you know what I mean ;-)
 

 Are you considering writing more books?

 
Absolutely. I love writing erotica as much as I enjoy reading it. So far, I have written three books about Angelica, the Supernatural Sleuth who is one of my favourite characters. In the past, she has gone off on all sorts of erotic adventures including a haunted house (Her Erotic Adventures in the Haunted House on the Hill) and the dangerous Elysian jungle (Her Erotic Adventures in the Dangerous Elysian Jungle). I will soon send her off to explore the North Pole where she will encounter some randy elves and reindeer and a few other horny creatures.
 

How long did it take you to write this book?

 
It took a few weeks to plot out the storyline and then do the writing and editing of the story. I have to try to squeeze writing in while working a full-time day job. Sometimes, I am simply too tired to write so I just plot out ideas of what I will write when I have the time.
 

How many books have you written all together?

 
So far, I have written 14 books in a few different series. I have a series of some innocent angels who fall into sin called the Angels of the Light series. I have a series of erotic fairy tales called Twisted Fairy Tales for the Sexually Adventurous. I have a Super Heroines in Erotic Bondage and a Warrior Women of Chrysalis series. The series featuring Angelica, the Supernatural Sleuth is called The Sexual Misadventures of Angelica, the Surprisingly Submissive Supernatural Sleuth. My newest series is Submissive Mermaids of Avalon in Erotic Captivity.
 

 What advice would you offer to someone considering or trying to become an aspiring writer?

 
I would say that you have to have faith in yourself and a thick skin because there will always be people who do not like what you have written and you must not take their criticism to heart. I think you need to also read other people’s stories whether or not they are the same genre that you write in. You can always find inspiration where you least expect it. Finally, if you have great ideas but poor grammatical skills, you need to get an editor or proof reader. Your books are your brand and you do not want to damage your brand with poor writing. If you cannot afford a professional, then go to the English Department at a nearby community college or university and see if you can hire a graduate student to edit your work.
 

What are your future goals?

I would like to keep writing erotica. I am working on an erotic version of the Cinderella story right now. I also have some ideas about a new vampire series as well as doing erotic interpretations of Greek myths that I would like to write in the future.
 

Are you currently on a book tour?

 
Alas, no. I just have to hope that as more and more people buy my books, that word-of-mouth will lead to increased sales instead.
 

What are your hobbies?

 
I love reading, and watching movies and TV in all genres. I am currently addicted to Border Security: Canada’s Front Line, Criminal Minds, Stalker, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, and The Mindy Project.
 

Who are all your favorite writers?

 
George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, Mercedes Lackey, Beverly Connor, Tanya Huff, Patricia Briggs, John Sandford, and David Eddings.
 

Have you ever had writer’s block?

 
I do sometimes get writer's block. This usually happens when a character refuses to act in the way I want him or her to do. It's frustrating because I want to write a scene in a certain way and the character won't let me. When that happens, I stop writing and go away from my computer a while. I think about the story, the specific scene I'm working on, and my character's personality and motivations. Then I go back and sometimes re-write parts of earlier scenes to give my character the personality or motivation he or she needs to act the way I want him or her to act. However, sometimes, I simply change my ideas about what will happen in the scene and write my character according to his or her whims. That tends to solve the problem of writer's block.

I will do my best to give you with lots and lots of happy endings ;-)

"A Christmas Favour" by Sascha Illyvich

A Christmas Favor

By Sascha Illyvich

Sascha is a regular in my blog, in case you haven't noticed. I consider myself one of his biggest fans, because he literally keeps me entertained. I don't know what I would do without his writing, because- now this is the truth: his writing helps me relax. I fantasize with his writing, and his writing is one I can actually get into. If you read as much as I do, there are certain writers whose words just don't "do it" for you. Sascha is not one of them. For me, he can get me to visually see and believe anything. Seriously, if you haven't read any of his books, my question to you is this: "Why not?" Because you don't know what you're missing!

Anyway, allow me to tell you about: "A Christmas Favour". At first I thought the book was going to be an, "Oh no!" Book. Because right from the start Christian seemed to not want to take things any further  with Angela. But then, I kind of understood why. People hate ruining friendships, once they turn into romance, the friendship tends to get ruined. But their was love; they both did feel the same for one another. 

Of course, there are obstacles, as with any relationship. And by all means, yes! I mean: yes! Yes! Yes! There is sex in this book. You don't think Sascha would write a book and leave that out do you?!

I was extremely impressed that there was a "Happily Ever After!" Sometimes you just need those! And especially a marriage! I love that! The perfect Wedding, that you can even fantasize about it. Every woman's dream! 

This book is heart warming, and worth the read. I truly enjoyed it, and give it five stars. I especially loved the fact that all the character names in this book were easy to pronounce and normal names. I really appreciate that, it made it much easier to read too! I like it when the names aren't difficult and out of the ordinary! (Much like my own name!)

Sascha is an extraordinary writer with amazing talent and skill. And every book he puts out, just proves more and more, that he can put his mind to anything! 

My Questions for Sascha:

*Remember I have interviewed Sascha numerous times, so this time I tried to come up with different questions. To see "normal" questions please seek the other interviews in this blog! Thank you! ~Deneale

1. Why did you write this book?

My sister was havng a hard time with life when I started my career so I wanted to write her a happy ending, because she deserves one.  

2. Have you ever been to Dallas?

Lived there for about a year.

3. Do you yourself have "computer tech" knowledge to speak of it?

I'm a former Tech GOD so yes.

4. Doesn't it make you feel good to make your Characters end & live happily ever after so to speak?

I do enjoy writing the HEA.

5. How long did it take you to write this book?

Oh hell, probably about three months or so?  It was my first story based on a short story I'd written to again give my sister a happy ending.  

6. What are you currently working on?

The 5th book in the Opeth Pack Saga.  I'm having to redo some of the writing because I think it needs to have both hero and one heroine's POV, rather than two heroines with the hero as the outsider, so 10,000 words of that is getting rewritten before I go back to moving the story forward. But the basis of the story is that Aurelia, the missing mate from Bianca and VIktor, must come to warn them of danger and an attack on Albuquerque, NM.  She brings not just bad news but her love with her, as uncertain as she is, and reluctantly, Bianca and Viktor must trust her and themselves to let things play out as they will, until Aurelia's attempt to save them causes Viktor to fall pray to perilous illness.  What will they do?

7. What are you reading?

Right now, I'm not reading anything for fun.  No spare time.  I edit for Ardnet Books, Secret Cravings and Sizzler Editions and have a huge back list, plus the 5th Opeth Pack book is due December 1st, 2014, I just finished a new menage story for a super secret project withi Kim Carmichael, et. al. and my Beloved is giving me new memories to associate with Thanksgiving, and November since I was so out of it last year around this time.

8. What are your favorite hobbies, if any?

Why don't you put on something comfortable, bring a bottle of champagne and come over.  I'll show you...

9. What do you do for entertainment when NOT writing?

The question is who do I do, and she knows exactly who she is, who must be made sweet love to often...

10. What are you passionate about?

My authors at Ardent Books, my own stories, my new relationships, cigars and alcohol...

11. What is/are your favorite color(s)?

Black, black, dark blue, purple....

"Naughty Wives Collection" 1 by Reed James

Naughty Wives Collection 

by Reed James

When I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I read it in one evening. The book just grabbed me, and pulled me in. 

Husbands and wives always want to spice up their marriages, and these couples do it. And you can't help it, but follow along and read. 

Only once did I get drop jaw, and that was with the Police Officer. Frank and Evie play "naughty hooker" but for real on the streets and out of the bedroom. I knew when they were taking it to the streets, right there was a mistake. 

And low and behold an officer of the law sees her strutting her stuff on the corner, and than "A John" pick her up, and her accept money. Mistake number one. They try to convince the officer their married, and it's just for fun, but he won't hear of it. Instead he cops a feel. And in the long run, he gets the deal of a century, and makes out with the money too! 

Eventually Evie confesses to her best friend Cherry, and eventually she gets involved. Cherry's husbands job causes him to travel a lot, and he cheats, but he still loves his wife. 

My favorite is that no matter what happens, these people see and work their problems, through sexual frustration, and stay together. 

Personally, I think in the long run, the should become a four some, or swingers or something, together. But.... That's just my opinion. 

However, I enjoyed this book very much. It's very well written, easy to understand, and I very much; enjoyed it. I give it five out of five stars! 

My Interview Questions for Reed:

 

1. Did you live these fantasies out, out of curiosity? If not, are they your fantasies?

No, I didn't live out any of these fantasies, they are all the product of my over-active imagination.

2. Are any of these characters by chance, you?

Afraid not. I'm far more boring than anyone in my stories.

3. How did you come up with these sexual idea's?

I don't know how it is for other erotica authors, but these are my own sexual fantasies. So when I'm 'brainstorming' I think about scenarios and keep thinking about them until they really excite me. If I'm excited, so will someone else.

4. The story behind the Evie & Frank and Officer Connolly and him stealing $160, wherever did you come up with that story? In the end, I kind of laughed. The story was intense!

The stealing the money was an after thought. I had written the story and during editing I realized that the officer had pocketed the money Frank had 'paid' his wife as part of their roleplay and it struck me as funny and a nice way to end the story.

5. Some couples might have broken up over these situations, like cheating, yet these people just became more horny and sexual. Why?

Because it's hot. Because they love each other and it gives them pleasure to see their partner experience their fantasies and have some joy. It takes a strong bond of trust to delve into the world they do, but trust is a fragile thing and it can so easily be broken. Evie skirted that line, praying that she knew her husband well enough while she enjoyed her fantasy.

6. How long have you been writing?

I have been writing off and on since Junior High. When I turned thirty a few years ago, I realized I had never seriously pursued my dream of being a writer and had let my twenties slip away. Even then, it took me a while to really develop the discipline to begin writing. I started writing a Fantasy novel and felt my writing skills weren't honed enough. So I decided to write other things for practice and I had always liked writing dirty stories, so I began doing that and posting them on free stories sites. I received a lot of great feedback and encouragement, as well as tips on cleaning up my grammar, and felt I was ready to self-publish erotica while writing my non-erotic novel.

7. What kinds of education have you had?

High School graduate and a community college drop out. Dumbest decision I ever made.

8. What all have you written thus far?

Besides the Naughty Wife Series, I've written a lesbian series called 'Seducing Straight Women' about Aurora who makes a bet that she can seduce any woman, no matter how straight, and it chronicles her various seductions. I have a supernatural story called the Virgin Possessed, a series on wifes who cheat right under their husbands noses, and I'm writing Futanari stories.

9. Have or are you currently on book tour?

I'm not on any book tours.

10. Why did you choose to write erotica?

When I was in Junior High my parents bought me a computer and I had internet access in my bedroom. This was the nineties when it was dial-up on 33.3k modem. Within the first hour I was browsing porn. No it took forever to download a single, low-res photo and that wouldn't do, but then I found whiteshadows.net, a now defunct XXX story site. I was already an avid reader and here was porn I could easily download and enjoy. Soon I was writing my own stories, but I never finished them or posted them, and then I graduated high school and started working and I stopped writing. So when I took up writing again, erotica seemed like a great way to practice my writing as well as write the sort of stories that excited me.

11. Do you yourself get horny as you write? (IE: does your own writing turn you on?)

Yes. I'm always turning myself on. If you can't turn yourself on with your erotica, then maybe you're doing it wrong. Even during rewrites and editing when I'm rereading my erotica I often get turned on.

12. Who is your favorite Author?

Robert Jordan who wrote the amazing Wheel of Time series. Not only is he my favorite author, he also has had the most profound effect on my writing style. I also enjoy Tolkein, Brandon Sanderson, David Eddings, R. Scott Bakker, Steven Eriksen, and Jim Butcher.

"Taken Unaware" by Sascha Illyvich

"Taken Unaware" by Sascha Illyvich

 

Sascha and I are personal acquaintances on Twitter. And as he is trying to push another book onto me, I decided to look him up on Amazon.com and see what exactly he had out there that just might tantalize my taste buds. I read the summary on each book, and when I found this one, I knew it was for me. I fell in love immediately with the description. so I bought it, as well as the other book, that he wants me to review. 

Naturally I read this one first, in forty minutes I might add. I couldn't put the darn thing down. And trust me, I had full intentions of doing so, because I was laying in bed, tired and ready to go to sleep. My husband beside me snoring, here I am reading. 

Big mistake. Its a seductive book. Her name is Dee. What is my nickname? Yeah, you got it. She waiting on her husband; well after she went to the store, anyway. Goes into take a bath because shes sweaty hot, remembering her home town of Hawaii, missing the clear waters, that she could just bask in and dive right into when she had gotten too hot. So she climbs into her tub to relax. 

Rory, her husband won't be home for a while. After laying there for a bit, she lathers her hair, stands to rinse off the suds, and from behind her someone comes in, and he wont allow her to see him. He promises not to rape her, but to be her gentle lover. 

She is in fear at first, but he whispers in her ear, and low and behold her body doesn't cooperate with the desire to fight him away. She doesn't understand because, she considers everything about sex dirty, something that has caused her and Rory problems all through their marriage.

The sexy sounding stranger promises only to be gentle and to be her lover, tells her how beautiful she is, and how he has longed for her. 

This whole time while reading, I personally was in fear of the husband coming home and finding this stranger there and ruining her marriage. But no, the very best part of the book, is at the end. I was so pleased with the ending. I smiled, and was totally impressed.

The book is not what you think. Trust me, you too, will be impressed, as well as your sexual impulses will be aroused. This book is everything I dreamed it would be and more! I give this book five stars and more and if I could! I adored this book, and suggest that you, those that like to read adult erotica, go out and buy this book immediately! It is amazing!

Here are my Interview Questions for Sascha:

 

1. What made you decide to write a book about a seductive man, that's not actually a rapist, that wants to be a lover?

This is actually a story my publisher had asked me to write.  If memory serves, the cover was created for an author who backed out and Jean Marie had asked if I could bang out a story with this premise.  I told her, yeah give me a week and a bottle of whiskey.  Both were given to me and it was done first draft in like three days.  I took a day to rest, then edited it. 

2. What made you decide to make this character be "Sascha?" & does this mean, she's reading one of your books and it makes her horny, and this is how it plays out?

I think this was a case of my own ego inserting itself into the story LOL!  Yes of course she's reading one of my books!

3. How did the idea of this book come to you?

Given the premise to write a story about a woman who is seduced by a stranger is an easy one, overdone to the point that it's played out.  But my twist isn't a usual one and I thought, what the hell.  I created this prudish woman, gave her a reason to like and enjoy love making in all its dirty forms, and then thought, what would the twist be?

4. What are you currently working on?

Promotions for ENDANGERED, out soon from Red Sage.  Promotions for Fall Into Love, out soon from Secret Cravings Publishing.  As for projects, I'm currently planning the 5^th Opeth Pack book, and doing a major rewrite on the second Nights of Lust book (Sequel to ENDANGERED) for Red Sage. 

Endangered:

Endangered is the story of a trio finding comfort in the love they develop for each other even as the world tries to break them. 

Fall Into Love: Can we avoid a fate set in motion since before birth or can we change our destiny?  Unity through love is the key to Paradise and only a select group of wolves and their mates can open the way for the other wolves on Earth.

5. How long have you been writing?

15 years and then some. 

6. What all education and training and skills do you have?

Nothing related to writing.  My background is in I.T., I'm a former Tech GOD, but I gave that godhead to my brother.  Real fiction writers don't go to school to write, that saps creativity with nonsensical rules that confuse the crap out of the writer and stifle their creativity.  Now I have spent a great deal of online time in my earlier days talking to my mentor about Craft and storytelling.

7. What all parts of the World have you seen?

I haven't seen your bedroom yet…

8. Have you or are you on a book tour?

I will be but it won't be the expected usual haunts most authors hit up.  Those are useless to me.  Look for me through my passions outside writing!

9. Who is your publicist?

Deborah Riley Magnus is someone I'm proud to call a lot of things, including publicist.

Endangered by Sascha Illyvich

Endangered by Sascha Illyvich

As you may well have noticed, this is my second review and interview with Sascha. Therefore, I expected, much of the same material. Boy was I wrong!

I knew from the intro, I was going to be experiencing a bit of a different realm. Here we are dealing with Vampires and the world of darkness, so to speak. So my outlook is thinking a bit on the side of blood thirsty, and hoping Sascha will throw in his curve balls of sexuality and the spin of a tale of lovers uniting. This is what I'm kind of picturing, even before I start. 

Never try to figure a writer out, it just doesn't work that way.

This book was deeper, more intense. Darker if you will. As I was reading it, I just wanted to curl up into a ball, it made me feel like I myself was in a deep, dark place, and sometimes cold. The literature as you read, the surroundings, you can physically see your dwellings, and they are all dark and cold. Maybe I let my imagination get too over whelmed as I read, but I just felt as if I was there. As if I was longing to become a Vampire myself. 

The main character, Josef seems to be a real "hottie" if you will. At least in "my" imagination he is! But living the life of the undead, just doesn't seem very fulfilling, and I think that too, was part of the things that Josef was bantering with himself. I think, and this is just my personal assumption here, that maybe his character was wondering what it would be like to be human, or even different, as in something else. To me, he always seemed to be pondering, like his mind was off in a distance. A dark place, thinking, and wondering. But again, this was just my take, of the essence of the character. 

Josef is someone; women will dream about after reading this book. He deals with a lot, and his character is very real. As I read, I felt that the Author was very into this character, very related, and even a part of him, if you will. 

This book was a interesting read. A different role in writing was portrayed here, through Sascha, and I could feel the depths of darkness and what even seemed to be depression. I could be wrong, but as we all know~ were all entitled to our opinions. 

I enjoyed the book, "Endangered" as I personally felt that I could even be on the list of "Endangered" people myself. One thing you will learn, as have I~Sascha Illyvich pulls his readers into his work. He's just "that" good! His writing; becomes visual within you, providing you have an imagination! A work if art, something to dream about, and live through his very words!

I give this book five stars of five stars! You should honestly check it out, it's worth reading! Especially, if you like Vampires, and of course: using your imagination! Sascha Illyvich does it again! He is top notch!

Here are my interview Questions for Sascha!

1.  What made you write this book?

ENDANGERED was a book I wrote for the growing vampire/werewolf market several years back.  As it turns out, the hero needed something more than what I as an author could give him over the years until I finally figured out what that was.  You'll have to read the series to learn what though!

2. Do you now frequently write about 'Vampires, Werewolves' as well as 'Shape Shifters' or do you like to mix it up a bit?

I've written vampires and wolves, one of my agents has a story involving Pumas and witches, and I've written about faeries too. 

3. Have you ever written erotica without 'Mythical Creatures' in it?

Erotica and erotic romance, yes.  I have a lot of contemporary romance titles. 

4. Out of ALL of your own work, do you have a favorite Character, if so~ who would it be?

I've been saying Joséf from Endangered because his story rings true to how I've felt.  Need to do good in the world, but alas, love isn't for me.  Considering events of late, I'd be hard pressed to say if I still held that belief or not but he's a rough character who uses any means necessary to get the job done. 

5. Who is your favorite Author of ALL the Authors in the World?

Probably JR Ward right now.  Even though the head hopping shit irritates me, her stories pull you in and make you invest yourself in the characters and the world.

6. Do you read 'Erotic Novels' yourself, and I don't mean, just your own work? (If so~ whom do read and prefer?)

Yup.  The usual suspects. JR Ward, Lora Leigh, Christine Feehan, Laurel K. Hamilton, Christina Dodd, every now and then you'll find me with a historical romance in my hands by Julie Templeton. 

7. What made you write a Novel with 'Vampires' in it? We're you trying to 'Follow the crowd' per se?

First off, the crowd follows me.  *ahem*  Second, it was something I wanted to do for years actually, write about the Goth, the undead, the sensuality, the darkness. 

8. When writing, sometimes I note your work to be deep, dark, and heart felt. Is this some of your one 'persona?'

Always.  It's most of it actually.  What you're missing is my legendary "artistic" temper tantrums I'm trying hard not to let out anymore, or my rage. 

9. When writing 'sexual scenes' have you ever done, or experienced what you have written?

Quite a bit yeah.  Especially with recent experiences mimicked by a story I wrote involving a pretty writer fan and Fiji.

10. Do you oft get turned on, as you are writing your sexual scenes?

Yeah it happens.

11. Other than your writing, what do you use as an 'out?' Meaning: a way to vent?

Sadly I really don't have any means of venting other than cigars and alcohol.  I tend to not overdo it anymore on either front because of health reasons and the fact that I prefer relaxation rather than getting all stressed out. 

12. Does your writing often reflect your mood?

It can and does. I'm found often in my work even when I mean not to insert myself. 

13. Were you in a dark place when you wrote this manuscript? If not, how did you manage to make 'this' book seem & 'sound' so much differently, compared to the last book I read of yours? What IS your secret?

I've said before my books are that good and I'm that talented an author and that's what it boils down to.  People think you can simply write a story and then bam, it's good but if the story doesn't make you feel something, or if it doesn't move you, then it's not complete.  I was in a period of change when I wrote ENDANGERED, whereas the book you first reviewed, Burning for Derrick was a much lighter story because my world was better then, and the agent of awesome told me to lighten the hell up.  There is no secret, you simply cut your heart open and pour it over the pages.

14. Do you have more books in the works?

I do.  I'm in the middle of starting a romantic suspense, Endangered has a sequel (it's actually a series.  The tag line is: A small group of unlikely heroes faces an entire Criminal Organization for the fate of the world while discovering true love.)  Plus I have my Covenant of Wolves series we're in the middle of reworking slightly.  I have tons of material for years, practically.  All in romance, of course.
