Madison's Ramblings

     
     
Issue No. 1  

August 2008

           
  Hi, everyone, welcome to Madison's Ramblings. As this is the first issue, I'm actually quite nervous how to do this or what things to include. I don't want to bore you to death, that's for certain. :)

But I'm sure you'd appreciate some eye candy! So, enjoy the picture on the right.

Isn't she hot?  She's the international babe of the day from Double Viking. More Mayuko Iwasa pics here.

  My second book, Love in Mysterious Ways, is going to be out with Ellora's Cave this coming October 1!!! I'm ecstatic, over the moon with joy! Not only because it's coming out soon, but also because edits for this book is done, finished, over! Oh wait, there's final line edits yet, but we've plenty of time before October 1. Cover art is being processed as we speak. I may send a special newsletter before October 1 to give you a peek of the cover art once it's done. Ooh, I can't wait to see it, I'm sure it'll be fabulous!

Here's a sneak peek:

Lindsey is ecstatic when Brent announces that their bed is going to get a little crowded soon, but he couldn’t have guessed that emotions are going to be a tad complicated as well, when he suddenly experiences a sexual identity crisis…a crisis that he doesn’t know how to solve without possibly alienating his best friend or his wife…

Meanwhile, Rory of the hot bod and all-American good looks, believes in taking things slow, and unwittingly fans the flames of desire. Until things come to a head during a filmmaking on the fine art of loving…

Reader advisory: This book contains scenes with same-gender sex.

 
         
         
  The following is an excerpt from the story for your enjoyment:  
         
 

“Fuck me. Fuck me good. Now, now…please…”

Lindsey didn’t care that she was asking—no, begging—the man with the stern, unyielding face to fuck her. For what seemed like an inordinately long time, he had done everything he could to raise her senses to fever-pitch excitement, sucking and nibbling on her most sensitive parts, allowing her to hover at the brink of the chasm of ecstasy but pulling back just as she was about to soar. At this moment, he was on his knees between her outstretched legs, his hands lifting her hips up so that he could bury his face in her pussy, his pointed tongue stabbing into her cunt.

She writhed and rolled her hips on the bed, she pulled at his thick hair, she beat her heels weakly at his back but sadly, all to no avail. She couldn’t stand this anymore, the pressure in her belly was too tight, too tense…and she was close…very close…

“Fuck me!”

He raised his head and grinned. Oh finally—finally—he was grinning, which meant he was ready to give in to her demands. She knew him well, this man, and he never failed to excite her. Just one touch of his hand or one look at him was enough to send her blood pressure soaring. Now, the sight of his cream-covered face sent an erotic thrill through her that had her shuddering.

“I love your dirty mouth, sweetie.”

“Much…as I also…love your mouth…in my pussy,” she huffed, “I want your cock more.”

 
         
         
       
  AND as promised, here's hot hot hot! Chris Bailey. Can you believe this guy is a research chemist for a global raw materials manufacturer? So that's where they're all hiding! Too bad I didn't much like chemistry back in high school.

More Chris Bailey. Just scroll down, but yeah, in the meantime, enjoy the other hot bods on the site.

 
         
         
         
  Then there's my 3rd book with EC -- Playing For Real. It's a menage story like Love in Mysterious Ways, but different plot, of course. I just love these kinds of fantasies--two men seeing to a woman's needs, and that woman is preferably me. LOL  What's your fantasy?

So, yes, I was rather prolific last year, having been out of job for a few months. But now that I hold a day job (a necessary evil in this day and time), I don't have as much time to write. Still, writing is my passion, my purpose in life to entertain and hopefully to enable us all to forget reality a little while, so I don't expect I'll ever give storytelling up.

Enough of my ramblings, as I'm sure you want to know more about Playing for Real instead of hearing me talk. :)

 
         
 

Playing For Real   (Ellora's Cave)                                                   Coming soon!

 
         
 

Shelli can never have foreseen how one revised board game is going to change her life forever.

It all begins when she prepares to attend her company’s annual dinner and dance party with her best friends, Adrian and Ethan, but she gets more than she bargains for when lust hits her right between the eyes the moment she catches them in flagrante delicto. She is so shocked she denies the attraction and thinks herself a voyeur, then is totally thrown out of her depth when she is tormented by fantasies of threesomes. But how can she risk their long-time friendship for sex?

Adrian and Ethan are happy as a couple, but they want Shelli too. After several failed seduction maneuvers, they decide to give it one last try by seducing her with an erotic board game especially designed to set them all afire.

Reader advisory: This book contains scenes with same-gender sex.

 
         
           
  Basically, Playing has the same status as Mysterious, having just gone through edits, and the cover art in process. However, as the edits are done later, I expect Playing to come out later than Mysterious. Oh gosh, what am I talking about? Of course it'll come out later, it doesn't even have a publication date yet!  Will update you all on that, when it comes. Excerpt in next newsletter.  
           
           
           
  Now Available      
           
  Out now from Ellora's Cave is my first book with them, Perhaps Love. It's a themed quickie, for the month of May 2008, featuring the emerald. It's a fantasy, a genre that I'm discovering to be my favorite, because I get to make up the rules for the world, and there are rules, believe me. Not just "anything goes". There's also a nice twist in this book that I absolutely love, and I'm not just saying that because it's my book.  
     
  Perhaps Love  (Ellora's Cave)  $2.99                                            Available Now  
       
  ISBN 978 14199 16113    
  Here's the link to Ellora's Cave. There's an excerpt there as well, so don't miss that.  
         
         
  Esmeralda needs the Life-Bringer, the purest and brightest emerald, to cure her ailing sister. She finds Orin, the Emerald Gem Immortal, who just might be persuaded to give it to her—for the right price.

Orin is bored. Having lived for close to three millennia, he has seen and done everything there is to do in the universe, including bedding thousands of women over the years. But when he sees Esmeralda, his interest is rekindled. He aches to initiate the innocent beauty into the arts of sex and bring them both to the heights of pleasure.

But the Life-Bringer is no ordinary emerald. It has the power to give life…or to destroy it.
 
     
     
  Here's an excerpt, and it's different from the one on the EC website:  
     
 

The man’s deep voice drew her back from her thoughts. “And we shall begin today.” He righted the fallen chair, sat down and when the robe settled, her eyes riveted to the site between his thighs where the robe tented. As she watched, the tent rose higher and higher and arched until its tip touched his stomach. He followed her gaze and when her head lifted, he smiled with so much sensuality that heat flowed and ebbed in repeated waves from her neck to her face. “Come here,” he commanded softly. “I would accept your gift right now.”

She finally realized what she had offered to the immortal.

She quivered—with fear, with shame, with embarrassment. She knew what sex was in theory but she had never been tempted. She had been filled with lofty ideals of wanting her first experience to be with the man she loved. But no such man had ever come and then Elisha had gotten sick and all Esmeralda’s time had been filled with taking care of her sister and her nephew. Now she felt cheated and a tiny core of anger started to burn in her. A moment later, it deflated, because no one had forced her to do this. She was the one who had offered it as the price for the Life-Bringer.

Nothing mattered but her sister.

Her hands fell to her sides and she shuffled toward him on her buttocks, careful to keep her knees drawn up and covering as much of her breasts and pussy as she could. Halfway across the bed, she risked a glance at him from beneath her lashes and her breath caught at the flash of sympathy that softened the fierce features of his face. He watched her with hooded eyes, yet she sensed infinite patience in his stance.

A moment later, she was standing before him, her hands covering her breasts and pussy in embarrassment. He took hold of her hands and drew them to her sides. His sharp, indrawn breath pulled her gaze to his face and her heart skittered at the intense lust and admiration in his eyes. “Beautiful,” he said hoarsely as the back of his hand trailed reverently from the wide flare of her hips up her small waist to the heavy weight of her breasts. “Smooth…and such creamy skin… A prize indeed.”

He tugged her closer to stand between his legs. He pressed his mouth to her stomach and his thick green hair tickled the undersides of her full breasts. Unexpectedly, she moaned. She hadn’t anticipated the soft, sensuous feel of his hair on her bare skin, or the hot, moist touch of his mouth, which was now mobile and sucking her flesh. A shaft of lust lanced through her and ended in her pussy, which dripped and clenched with need.

 
     
     
     
  Works in Progress      
     
  Yep, I've got several actually. Gosh, how do I keep all the storylines straight in my head? Well, I don't know, and it's very mysterious actually, but somehow, each character and his story is very different from the others, so I don't really confuse them with one another.

Okay, what are they?

Passion's Fire - a woman's journey toward passion and fire

A menage featuring a magical musical instrument that brought the three characters all together, and it's full of angst (title still under consideration)

And remember how I'm so excited about fantasy? Well, there's this fantasy that I'm writing, and I'm real excited about it. It features five (or six -- I can't decide yet) sexy, gorgeous hunks who happen to be princes, one fairy princess, three beautiful commoners who are as beautiful as they are different, and one fairy gardener. Gosh, just think of the different combinations I could play with. Even so, this is a ROMANTIC story, erotic romance, if you will.

 
           
           
           
  Book Recommendations      
     
  Just in case anyone's interested, I've just finished the following books, and I love them. They're not erotic romance though.  
           
  1.  The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes by Jennifer Crusie, Eileen Dreyer and Anne Stuart (not an anthology!)

2.  Kathy Love's Ugly Stepp Sisters trilogy - I especially love Getting What You Want and Getting Something More

3.  Susan Wiggs' Dockside - Well, hell, I love all Susan Wiggs' books, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.
