Author Kay Dee Royal - Paranormal, Fantasy & Erotic Romance

Kay Dee Royal visits with us this week in a quaint little cabin nestled in the woods. Don't be fooled by the outside appearance because once inside you'll find the cabin is bigger than it seems; several rooms including a hot tub and an indoor pool. Join us for hot cocoa and Baileys - Yum!

Kay Dee is a good buddy of ours. She loves promoting fellow authors like we do. She writes, blogs, reviews books and even finds the time to edit. Kay Dee is here to share why she loves to write and her latest release. There's a contest for an Ecopy of one of her books - see details below!

Naughty Reader’s: Hi Kay Dee! Awesome place to meet and chat! Tell us a bit about yourself that our readers might not know.

Kay Dee: First off – thank you Brenda and Tonya (ladies of The Naughty Reader's Boudoir) for having me. I love hanging out here – perfect place for erotic readers and writers to meet.

Okay, my thing not many know about me…I love to watch superhero action-packed adventure movies or television shows like the X-men – Wolfman (with some romance preferred)

Naughty Reader’s: (Brenda) Oh, I love X-Men. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine - Yeahh! What made you want to become a writer?

Kay Dee: I’ve always liked to write, so when I left the corporate world twelve years ago, I decided to get serious about it.

Naughty Reader’s: Please share a bit about your new release How to Net a Prince without giving away any spoilers.

Kay Dee: How to Net a Prince is a story in the Lacey’s Lamp Anthology – published by Muse It Hot. It’s a fantasy erotic romance short that includes a wise genie named Lacey ~ here’s the blurb:

Netta’s emotionally broken, lonely, and ready to move forward, but how?

Gallant loves life, but wants someone to share it with, when?

Stars align once Netta walks into Lacey’s Lamp and makes a wish… 

Naughty Reader’s: Do you write under a pen name?

Kay Dee: Yes, Kay Dee Royal is a pen name for the erotic romance genre and I have another for YA fiction.

Naughty Reader’s: What types of hero or heroine do you like best?

Kay Dee: Honestly, it depends on my mood. Sometimes I like the heroine bold, courageous, would stand up to anything (a spitfire) and other times I like her a little naïve, but intelligent. I like heroes almost always to have alpha characteristics: loyal, on a mission, intelligent, courageous, strong, the only thing that can bring him to his knees is the woman he loves.

Naughty Reader’s: Tell us about a typical day in your life as a writer.

Kay Dee: First thing in the morning I’m promoting blog posts, quickly check emails, then I’m writing or rewriting my WIP – and some days I’m editing other authors.

Naughty Reader’s: Do your books have a common theme or are they all different?

Kay Dee: My novellas are all different, but my Lycan (LIIA) Series has a common theme and subplots through each of the books. Working on book 2 – Savage Smoke right now…almost ready to submit.

Naughty Reader’s: How long does it take you to write and then edit a story?

Kay Dee:  It depends – I don’t have an average yet – some have taken as little as two months (novellas) and one of the novels I’m working on now has taken over a year…the other I put away for a couple of years and just hauled it back out to finish and polish.

Naughty Reader’s: Do you have to be alone to write?

Kay Dee: I’m easily distracted…like a dog with a squirrel – I have a lot of squirrels. I’m most productive alone and in the quiet…or music without words.

Naughty Reader’s: How do you go about naming characters?

Kay Dee: Brainstorm…when it feels right, I run with it.

Naughty Reader’s: Is it easier to write about the characters if you find pictures of them before you write or do you write then find character pictures?

Kay Dee: I believe you got me on this question before when I was here – and I still haven’t looked for pictures of my story-stars, but I think it’s a great idea…I’m a very visual person and know it would be a great addition to keep those creative juices flowing.

Naughty Reader’s: How do you pick locations for your stories?

Kay Dee: In most of my stories I write in locations that are familiar to me, but the Lycan series has stretched me to do some research – they move around the world.

Naughty Reader’s: What are you working on now and what should readers be looking forward to from you in the future?

Kay Dee: Mentioned this earlier – I’m working on the Lycan International Investigation Agency Series – Savage Smoke (Book 2), an erotic paranormal action-packed romance. I’m also working on a YA Paranormal Fantasy.

Naughty Reader’s: Where can readers find out more about you and your books?

Kay Dee: On the following sites!

How To Net a Prince

Lacey's Lamp Series

Genre: Fantasy Romance Erotic – WARNING: Explicit sex scenes 18+

Netta’s emotionally broken, lonely, and ready to move forward, but how?
Gallant loves life, but wants someone to share it with, when?

Stars align once Netta walks into Lacey’s Lamp and makes a wish…

Excerpt:

“Why Lacey’s Lamp?” I asked.

“Because I’m Lacey, a genie,” she said, and then waved her arms, encompassing the whole room, “and this is my lamp. I can grant you any wish.”

I chuckled, but Lacey remained serious. So, I pulled myself together and introduced myself, “I’m Netta, it’s nice to meet you.”

Lacey’s brows gathered as if in thought. It became a lengthy uncomfortable moment as she stood across the bar from me mixing a drink. “Tell me about it, woman to woman.” Lacey handed me the tall, frosty glass filled with swirling shades of orange and green. “First one’s on the house.” Her brows arched and her head titled as if she waited for me to take a drink.

I took a quick sip from the skinny straw and words began spilling out, all about Nick, how I failed, how I was lonely, and how I felt afraid. A couple of hours I spewed, until I finally said, “I wish for a man who loves me just the way I am. Who thinks I’m amazing, who rocks my world and believes I’m the only woman in his.”

“So, in other words, you’re more or less looking for a devoted, good looking man, who loves you. A real prince charming, am I right?”

“Yeah, do you think you could order up a tall, dark, and handsome one of those for take-out?”

“Your wish is my command.” She winked at me and walked away.

 

Rising Currents’ Book One: Louisiana Moon by Lani Rhea

To continue this week with Lani Rhea's books, we have a special treat! An excerpt from Louisiana Moon.

Rising Currents’: Louisiana Moon as of today does not have a set release day. But will be in winter of 2013. Keep an eye out for this book. For you wouldn’t want to miss it!  

 

BLURB:

Wanted: Royal blood. Bounty: An action packed, sexy, suspenseful tale.

After losing her parents to vampires, werewolf Kristina Knight spends her life protecting humans from the bloodsuckers. Saving Darin James from the Truce Brotherhood adds fuel to the vampire coven's wrath. When Ryant Starga, her former lover, appears under the pretext of protecting her, Kris isn't ready to trust him a

gain--especially not after he made his choice clear years ago.

As leader of the vampires, Ryant is driven to protect Kris not only because of their past connection but because, now, the Soulscapes are out for her blood. If they succeed, the soul demons will rule the Darkworld--and no one will ever be safe. Ryant has a plan to convince Kris she needs his protection, but it all goes badly awry when, in spite of the years separating them, he's unable to keep his hands and mind off her--or the human Darin James out of the picture.

With Darin overstepping boundaries, will Kris and Ryant rekindle their love only to lose it again?

Warning: Vampires, werewolves and humans--oh my!

EXCERPT:

“I will not leave until you give me what I desire.”

He rubbed his right thumb over his fingertips. The shiny rings clicked together, echoing through the room. He wouldn’t scare a ‘Yes’ out of her with the threat of his fist.

“I can’t help you. How many times do I have to repeat myself?”

His jaw ticked as he swallowed. “Why not?” Focusing on her well-endowed chest, he licked his bottom lip. What did he hide?

Anger boiled inside. A warm flush suffused her face. She cleared her throat in disgust. It goes to show, alive or dead, men never change.

He cleared his throat, straightened in his seat, and smiled. Aw, he’d evolved a bit more than most men. Other men would’ve kept staring.

“Tell me why you cannot, Kristina?”

The air between them pressurized, collapsing her lungs with a gnawing burn. She swallowed hard to prevent gagging from the sweet aroma behind the pressure.

“I don’t want to be placed in the middle of whatever is going on between Vampires and the Soulscapes.”

Did this vamp lose his mind? He should know this stuff. Soulscapes needed cement or rock to come alive. Spells protecting the steel rooms trapped them underground and would never collapse. And those boxes were scattered around various parts of the United States. She didn’t know every single location, only a few in the northern states. Did she care to find the rest? No.

He tilted his head to the right and smiled, flashing fangs. “For your benefit, I suggest you get involved.”

Kris lowered her chin, looking into his blue starburst eyes, watching for the slightest movement. She shifted, curling her fingers around her business jacket pleats. “How many more visits will it take for you to understand the word no?”

His smile disappeared. “We never take no for an answer. Like the servants before me, I’ll ask again, in a nice way. If you refuse, I’ll make you say yes.” He paused. “Will you be kind and help me track down an escapee who holds information that could possibly start a war within the Darkworld?”

Her heart pounded on the threat and skipped a beat on the word war. What was he talking about?

His eyes flicked to ogle her breasts again. “You’re hot.”

What?

Her blood pressure rose, and her cheeks flushed. Which pissed her off. “I suggest you focus on my face if you wish to continue this conversation.”

His face hardened at her returned threat. Kris read the surprise in his eyes and pinned him with a glare. The undead asshole squirmed a bit.

Ah, she’d hit a nerve. Good. She’d push his buttons to make him leave.

He scooted to the chair edge. “I meant your skin puts off more heat, energy, than anyone I’ve ever known.” Launders sniffed the air as his gaze roamed her body.

The vampire better keep his distance. Her teeth clenched, and she lifted her chin. “You’re an arrogant ass.”

In a flash, he loomed over her, hands braced on the mahogany wood between them. “You’d better watch your mouth when you speak to me or I’ll rip your--”

A low, eerie snarl escaped her throat.

Launders backed off in an instant. He stared at her torso then his eyes narrowed. “You’re a werewolf.” Not a question. “How did I not know? How old are you?”

A new bloodsucker...not the master like she suspected, hmm.

Her lips formed a sly smile. Only the ancient ones sensed her energy signature. “A lady never reveals her true age. You should be up to date on that. Let’s say I’ve been around long enough to see guys like you come and go.”

His upper lip curled on a hiss.

Kris stood. “Get out. Now.”

AUTHOR SAMMYJO HUNT

Christopher Allwyne, Duke of Bellwood, stood to inherit a vast fortune. Still reeling from the loss of his parents and most recently, his Aunt Polly, the Duchess of Bellwood, the young noble found himself traveling in the dark of night to oversee Her Grace's funeral proceedings and to attend the reading of his aunt's will. Along the way, his carriage suffers a devastating accident, and a dark stranger comes to his aid and rescue. The Marquis Evan de Lombard, rich French nobleman, takes an instant interest in the handsome Christopher. Sharing a wicked encounter shortly after meeting, things look promising as love blooms between them. That is, until the Marquis reveals his true identity and purpose.

Once Christopher knows the truth, will he ever be able to forgive Evan and love him, despite the man's indiscretions? Torn apart by dishonesty, can love win out over betrayal and rise to the occasion, reuniting them for a lifetime of happiness? The cost for true love could be a price neither one is willing to pay.

Eden Baylee - Erotic Romance Author!

Eden Baylee

Erotic Romance Author

     We're excited to have this week's author with us but even more, to introduce you to her newest release, Hot Flash! Please welcome Eden, this week's sexy author. She'll be around to chat with you about her books.

      Along with leaving a comment or question for Eden, don't forget to enter her Rafflecopter contest as one lucky entrant will win a free e-copy of Hot Flash! Eden, welcome to our Boudoir. The boas are hanging over the bar as you grab your drink; we're excited to have you! The sexy bartender is over there to serve you, so please grab your favorite drink, your boa, and let's get started.

Naughty Reader’s: Tell us a bit about yourself  that our readers might not know.

Eden:  Thanks so much for having me here on your great blog! There’s so much about me out there I can’t possibly have any secrets (heh)…okay, here’s one.  I can’t dance with a man because I tend to lead. As much as I try not to, it ends up looking more like a wrestling match than a dance.

Naughty Reader’s: That has to make it hard for dancing close, hon! But do they eventually let you lead? We'd also like to know what made you want to become a writer?

Eden:  I was tired of being a banker, but more accurately, I have always loved to write and have wanted to do it most of my life.

Naughty Reader’s: Please share a bit about your new release HOT FLASH without giving away any spoilers.

Eden: The funny thing is I was going to feature my second book (Spring into Summer) when I decided to do this interview, so it’s a good thing I have a new release! The title of Hot Flash is word play for erotic flash fiction. The book is made up of twenty erotic short stories and poems, along with two non-erotic holiday stories.

Naughty Reader’s: Readers, are you taking notes here? Twenty stories! Got that?? Do you write under a pen name?

Eden: Yes.

Naughty Reader’s: What types of hero or heroine do you like best?

Eden: The intelligent kind. I have little tolerance for stupid people in real life, and I don’t write them into my fiction.

Naughty Reader’s:  We hear you there. When we understand something, its hard for us that others don't get it. Tell us about a typical day in your life as a writer.

Eden: It’s simple. Get up, turn on laptop, do some social media networking, answer emails, and either write new books or promote current books.

Naughty Reader’s: Simple but oh so time-consuming but at the same time, we're able to connect with readers. Do your books have a common theme or are they all different?

Eden:  My first two books, Fall into Winter and Spring into Summer were both anthologies of four novellas each.
All eight novellas are distinct and unrelated, except by the seasons. 
In Hot Flash, the stories are much shorter, but each is erotic and sensual in its own way, and many have playful twists with a touch of irreverent humor.

Naughty Reader’s: *both of us squirming in our chairs just thinking of twenty short, erotic readers* How long does it take you to write and then edit a story?

Eden: I don’t have a formula for this.  I work with loosely self-imposed deadlines, and the story is done when I’m happy with it. I never compromise quality for quantity.

Naughty Reader’s: Great point, Eden! Do you have to be alone to write?

Eden: No, but I need it to be quiet—no music, screaming kids, barking dogs. Luckily, I don’t have screaming kids and barking dogs.
 

Naughty Reader’s: For those of us who might, it makes writing more difficult at times. How do you go about naming characters?

Eden: I Google baby names and choose something that rolls off my tongue for characters I like. For characters I don’t like, I choose names of ex-lovers. (Just kidding … not really)

Naughty Reader’s: Is it easier to write about the characters if you find pictures of them before you write or do you write then find character pictures?

Eden:  I’m not inspired by gorgeous ‘model’ types in either the men or women I write about, so I don’t use pictures.

     Erotic storytelling, to me, is so much more than physically beautiful people having sex. I tend NOT to be too descriptive in the physical features because each reader sees beauty differently. It’s enough to provide some general descriptors to allow readers to imagine the characters in their own minds’ eye.

Naughty Reader’s:  Readers, just keep a towel handy when you read her books and save yourself a mess! How do you pick locations for your stories?

Eden: I’ve traveled extensively and continue to do so when possible. Most places I’ve written about are because I’ve been there—London, Dublin, Bangkok, New York, Vienna, Amsterdam, etc.

     If I haven’t traveled to them, then I research it, but firsthand experience is always better.

Naughty Reader’s: Oooo, London, Bangkok, Amsterdam...visiting those places had to be fun! Brenda, you're not booking a trip! Get back over here! Eden, what are you working on now and what should readers be looking forward to from you in the future?

Eden: Since Hot Flash just released Nov. 20th, I’ll promote it for a bit. Aside from that, I’m  re-branding myself with my first two books, so stay tuned to see more releases by year-end.

Naughty Reader’s: Where can readers find out more about you and your books?
