Blogging at Decadent Today!

Hiya!

I'm blogging HERE today for the release of my new book. WOOT!

Out Today! Whooop!

Anna, Kline, and Jack. Three people who all have the same thing in mind - ultimate pleasure and a night they won't forget.

Anna has longed for a third person to join herself and her permanent lover, Kline, on their monthly trysts at a New York City hotel. Kline always takes control on these evenings, calling the shots and only allowing Anna to come when he wants her to, so what makes her think he will grant her request of having a threesome?

Kline has made Anna wait for her deepest desire, and tonight she will get the second lover she asked for a year ago. Kline will do anything to make Anna happy, including allowing the stranger inside her body, but he isn't prepared for how sharing her will make him feel.

Jack is hired to join Anna and Kline for an hour of rampant sex and is hit with confusing emotions once he sees the beautiful woman spread-eagled on the bed, duct tape holding her wrists and ankles to the posts. Something about her changes his perspective with regards to his job, and he finds he wants more than just a sample of the woman who has gotten under his skin.

Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of light bdsm.

Bad Blogger!

I have got to be one of the world’s worst bloggers for an author. I’m meant to blog regularly and all that jazz, but time runs away from me every time. I can’t remember the last time I wrote a proper blog post, so here goes.

Let’s set the scene. It’s 6:45 p.m. and I’m still in my damn pyjamas. I’ve been busy doing bits and bobs today, jazzing up a blog for friends and then updating my review site. I purchased the domain name for it today, so my groovy little review place will soon be www.mizlovelovesbooks.com, viewable now as www.mizlovelovesbooks.blogspot.com. Ah, isn’t that lovely? The site has come on in leaps and bounds, so I decided to make it official and whatnot. I also need to launch my other website (www.emmyellis.com) but I’ve started it from scratch and it still needs quite a bit doing to it. Maybe I’ll do that next Saturday and get it finished.

So, at the moment I need to clean my house, clean my SELF (!!!), and then it will be time to either read or watch a film. Then tomorrow is Mother’s Day here in the UK, so I’m planning to read all day and just be a plain old lazy cow.

I just got word that my M/M book, Mane Attraction (Sarah Masters), is doing very well in sales. This surprised me, as I wasn’t sure when I wrote it whether people would take to my brand of humour. It seems they have, or are at least giving it a go by purchasing the book. Thank you—it’s very much appreciated! I laughed my head off at myself while writing it. Let’s hope it has the same results for readers, although I wouldn’t like to think of people’s heads falling off. No, that wouldn’t be very cool.

My Natalie Dae name has a ménage Lust Bite coming out on 4th April with Total-E-Bound. That was interesting to write—a new avenue for me, what with two men and a woman doing saucy stuff—and I’m looking forward to seeing how that is received. I also have an historical, A Gentleman’s Harlot, coming out in July. Can’t wait for that one! And then there is Just For Tonight, also due out in April, and theeeeeennnnn Killing Her Slowly, although I’m not sure when that one will be released.

Cripes. So many books coming out at the same time. Serves myself right for subbing them all around the same time then, doesn’t it.

Myself and Jaime Samms are coming to the end of our novel The Dreaming, which has been a joy to write. As usual, me and Jaime have just run with whatever comes into our heads and I’m really looking forward to how that one is received.

As to Black Cougar Curse, written with my other dear pal, Tess MacKall, well...that book is doing very well indeed, better than I ever dreamed, God bless it. I love that book, not just because I love the plot etc., but because it’s special to me due to having written it with Tess. I feel the same about my books with Jaime. They’re extra special somehow, when written with someone else. A joining of two minds, producing something we couldn’t have done by ourselves without the talent of that other person.

As for what’s in the works… I need to write a short story that I’ve been asked for, finish that vampire book (I knowwwwwwwwww! I haven’t got around to it yet), and revamp a couple of others, get them subbed or give them away as freebies. I need to get going on that.

On the work front, things are going well. I’ve settled into my position now, know what’s what, and, of course, I love creating cover art and making authors happy. A new month’s covers are about to start, so if you’re interested in seeing those as they are created, and you’re not on my Facebook page, you might want to join me there. I use the Emmy Ellis one every day, and if you plug my name into the search thingy on there, I’m the woman with the black-and-white photo of my face, which, incidentally, looks nothing like that anymore. I now have wrinkles, am blonde, have long hair, and look infinitely older than that picture, which must be coming on two years old now.

Anyway, I’ve waffled enough. Time for me to go and have a bath (stinky cow!) and do a bit of cleaning around the house.

Have a great rest of your weekend, you beautiful people you, and I’ll try and blog again soon. Honest.

And The Winner Is...

Book one in the Sequins, Saddles and Spurs series.

Stranded in Mesa Blanco, Texas, with no money and no prospects, Emily Lathrop hires on as the cook at the Lazy Aces Ranch. Two problems—she can’t cook, and owner Wyatt Cavanaugh is so hot she nearly burns herself just standing near him. Trying to keep her hormones under control is a problem when Wyatt seduces her into his bed and teaches her the real meaning of erotic love.

Now proper Emily finds herself shockingly addicted to the BDSM games he likes to play, her body craving the bondage and domination that pushes her thermostat past the point of combustion even though she suspects it’s all going to come crashing down any moment with a big, painful thud.

New Cave Release! Lily Harlem

Most women would think themselves eternally lucky to have a hot, sinfully sexy rock star giving them the serious come-on—so imagine how I felt to find not one but two giving me the eye! Phew! I was turning somersaults.

But of course this led to a massive and, quite honestly, unenviable dilemma. How the heck do you choose between two rock gods who want nothing more than to give you pleasure of the extremely intense variety?

Lucky for me these global superstars were brothers who knew just how to share the same toy—sorry, I mean woman. That left me free to take a break from managing the band and let their experienced, talented hands manage me.

A New Start Begins

Today I woke with a new outlook on life. The sun was shining—looks like spring is on the way—and it seemed like the air was different. It wasn’t, but everything that had bothered me in life before Wednesday of this week no longer bothers me today. I have been given a golden opportunity to head the art department at Total-E-Bound, and I took it gratefully with the knowledge that this job has literally changed our lives. You have no idea how much.

I visited the Total-E-Bound offices yesterday for a meeting and then lunch, except it happened the other way around because traffic held us up on the way and I arrived later than planned. Lunch was in a groovy little cheese food place, and being the total dork I am in that we very rarely eat out, I had no clue what to choose. I declined wine and opted for tea, and when it came time for the toast I raised my teapot in typical, quirky Em fashion. I’ve never denied being an oddball.

When the job description was given, I didn’t freak. I can do this. I’m looking forward to doing this. I have a few things to learn but am confident of being able to master them. I’ll get my chance to expand my creative wings and the thought of it is very exciting. For the first time in a very long time, with the exception of starting work for TEB freelance in December, I felt the weight of burdens literally drop off my shoulders. There will be no more worrying about our finances, of where the money will come from to buy this or that. There is no more uncertainty in the future as to whether my royalties for various things will help cover what we need. My husband has carried us all for years, has done so just so I could follow my passion, and now I get to help him bring wages into the house. I can now say I have a JOB. No more freelance; I work for TEB as a hired employee.

It’s surreal, it’s exciting, it’s a life-changing thing.

When we got home last night and I told the boys, they knew things had changed for us. Their faces said it all. There have been times I felt I should give up, but something told me to plug on. There were times when I nearly got a job outside the home and left my writing and art behind, but my God, I’m so glad Hubby told me to keep plodding on (thank you, love!).

So everyone in our house woke with a fresh start in mind, where the future is brighter and life isn’t so sucky. Smiling faces, good moods. It’s wonderful. My eldest, who lives in her own home 17 miles away, arrived here today just so she could share this moment—she knows how important this change is and what it means. She’s as excited as I am.

Although I still can’t get over the fact this is happening to me and my family, and that from now onward the worries no longer exist--it will take a while to get used to that--I know I will have fun, work damn hard, and love every minute of it. The job is a dream one where I get to stay at home, still able to be here for my children if they’re sick, still here when they get home from school.

We have been blessed, and I look forward to working with you in the future should you have books with TEB. From meeting Claire and some of her staff yesterday, it was highly apparent they really do care about their authors and their books. Their authors' wellbeing is of paramount importance, and I was touched by their depth of passion for what they do. They are dedicated, kind people, ones I felt immediately at home with, as though I had known them for years. I'm looking forward to many years of friendship and work with TEB. I feel I have found a home and new family as well as a job.  

Best,

Em
