#MFRWorg gets Down 'N Dirty with #MFRWauthor @MolleMcGregor

Molle McGregor’s writing career started when she was seven and suffered terrible insomnia. Night after night she couldn’t sleep until long after mid-night, only to wake a few hours later. Frustrated with her inability to just go to bed, (and her penchant for sneaking a book and a flashlight under the covers) her grandmother said, “You like to read so much, why don’t you tell yourself a story until you fall asleep.” With this brilliant advice, Molle’s overactive brain was off and running. Now, years later, she’s finally taught herself to sleep, but she’s never stopped telling stories.

Today, MFRW asks her questions about her writing...

Generally, how long does it take you to write a book?
Between eight to ten weeks for a full length novel. A novella takes me about a month. That’s for the first draft. I wait about a month before I work on the second draft, to give myself some distance from the story and work on something short, like a novella, between drafts. The editing process takes a few months since I coordinate with my developmental and copy editors. From start to finish is about six months, but most of that time I’m also working on other projects. 

Do you have a set schedule for writing or do you just go with the flow?
A set schedule. I have two young sons at home, so if I didn’t schedule, nothing would get written. I work in the morning from about 5:30 am until around 8:30,  with a few interruptions for breakfast and cartoons. Then again in the afternoon during nap-time. I’d love to write in the evenings, but I usually fall asleep not long after the kids...

Tell us about your latest book, including its genre.
Shadow’s Passion is the prequel novella to the paranormal romance series - The Shadow Warders. The Shadow Warder Series features two ancient races of demon hunters, the Shadows and the Warders, each with unique talents and skills. Created work as bonded pairs, protecting humanity from the Vorati demons, the Shadow and Warders split apart after a terrible betrayal. Centuries later, they must learn to work together again if they are going to stop the rise of the most powerful Vorati in history. 

The series follows the first bonded pairs of Shadow and Warders as they meet and find their mates, as well as battle the growing threat to their world. The first full length novel in the series will be released in mid-August 2014 and the second in December. All the books will take place in the Shadow Warder world, but will feature a different hero and heroine.

What does your husband/wife think of your writing? Do you ever ask him/her for advice?
My husband is my biggest fan. He’s the first to tell people what I do and encourage them to read my books. If I ever doubt myself, he’s there reminding me to keep going. He’s also a great beta reader. When I wrote my first fight scene, he came back with a page of notes. And I ended up using most of them.

What can we expect from you in the future?
I plan to continue moving forward with the Shadow Warder series. I have eight books loosely outlined with a series arc that goes out further. I’m also planning a series of erotic romance novellas based in the Shadow Warder world. These will be stand alone, and not a part of the Shadow Warder series arc. 

How do we find out about you and your books? How can readers/fans contact you?
Goodreads is the best place to find me. I’m on there every day and love to chat with readers. Feel free to friend me or send me a message. If you do, I might even offer you an ARC!

Do your fans' comments and letters influence you in any way?
Absolutely. So far I’ve been fortunate in that my fans are enthusiastic about my work and have had mainly small criticisms. But I love discussing the story with my readers. For Shadow’s Passion, I had a prologue that my editors and I decided didn’t think fit the story.  I posted it on my website as a deleted scene and my readers love it! I actually have a discussion going on the book’s Goodreads page. If enough readers want to prologue added back in, I’ll release an updated edition with the prologue included. While the stories I tell come from my own imagination, once I release them into the world, they also belong to readers. I’m not saying I’ll take every suggestion, but I certainly consider reader’s opinions.

Molle McGregor released Shadow's Passion (The Shadow Warder Series, 0.5), a Mainstream Paranormal Romance, with Ginger Quill Press in June 2014.

Celeste is an exiled Shadow healer with a power so unstable she’s considered a deadly menace. After so many years on her own, she’s getting a little bored. And more than a little reckless. When a nearby family falls victim to demon infection, she decides to go hunting. But without backup, it won't be long before the demons are hunting her.

A Warder assassin dedicated to avenging his brother’s death, Gabe doesn’t have time for distractions like a beautiful Shadow looking for trouble. Until he discovers his target is after Celeste. Now, nothing will tear him from her side.

Celeste knows better than to team up with a Warder, but she's not sure she cares. It's been a long dry spell since her exile. Neither of them expects their fling to turn into something more. Now Gabe has to make a choice: revenge or love?

He lived for vengeance, until he met her. Now he has to choose - revenge or love?

Have you received feedback from reviewers?
Yes! Here are what some are saying...
"Shadow's Passion is a Prequel Novella to The Shadow Warder Series only about 131 pages but I am going to say WOW to those 131 pages. I read it in one seating and it is a very compelling story. 
I love a story that pulls you in and gets your emotions involved and this story about Gabe and Celeste's does. There is one part that you know something bad is going to happen and it does and it made me cry my eyes out. I had to stop cause I couldn't see the words, I would dry them and read a little more and there I am crying my eyes out again. This is a very good beginning to a promising series that I will be looking forward to reading." - Ellen @ Goodreads

Will you share an excerpt?
Celeste crouched in the underbrush, her body curled into a tight ball. Breath silent, she tried to ignore the damp chill sliding beneath her clothes. The electric blue sky above the tree canopy would have fit nicely with a warm summer day. If she wasn't freezing her ass off crammed under a dense rhododendron, she would have appreciated the way the sky brightened up the chilly winter afternoon. At the moment, the cold—and the predators surrounding her position—occupied all her thoughts. She'd left her home that morning on a scouting mission. An ambush was not in the plan. Unfortunately, the plan had changed.
The Vorati demons were everywhere. So far she'd counted six. Not certain where she hid in the thick growth, they worked their way in a shrinking circle, using scent to triangulate her location. To a Vorati nose, a Shadow smelled better than a sizzling steak might to a starving human. If they hunted her for too long before they found her, the enticement of her scent might drive them into a frenzy. She'd heard what frenzied Vorati could do to a victim. Eons ago, when they'd been in their demon bodies, they'd eaten their victims raw. Apparently, a frenzy brought them back to the old days. Enough said. Not an appealing end.
Over the past few weeks, Celeste had been picking them off one by one in carefully planned guerrilla attacks. Since her first strike, it had been a matter of time before they took the offensive and came after her. The demons moved around her position, faces raised to sniff the air, tightening the noose with each breath.
To an outsider, they appeared to be normal humans. They'd even dressed in hunting gear, holding their rifles and shotguns with ease, their brown camo a perfect match for the leafless trees of late winter. They might have brought the guns to hunt game. Might even have left their nest with the intention of bringing home fresh meat. The Vorati wouldn't use the weapons on her. If they caught themselves a Shadow, her death would be far slower than one granted by a bullet.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT: Rent Me @BrinaBrady #MFRWauthor

MFRW Author Brina Brady released Rent Me, a GLBT Erotica Book, on Smashwords on May 27, 2014.

Rent Boy Brennen wants to belong to his lover Dmitri Dubrovsky. The Russian mobster controls every inch of his life in and out of bed. Brennen works for Dmitri’s escort service. His only desire is to please his lover. When Dmitri marries Nika, his lover moves him out of their home to an apartment in Beverly Hills and tells him nothing has changed. What is Brennen going to do now?

Warning: This is a Gay adult consensual story focused on themes of corporal discipline punishment and explicit sex with some elements of BDSM between adult men over the age of eighteen.


What Reviewers Say...
"Wow! This book is super hot, but the story itself is so compelling I was up until 4 am reading. I spent half my time wanting to smack the guys upside the head, and the other half going awwww...
Their relationship is by no means conventional, but it somehow manages to work for them. Now if they could just learn to communicate! But oh, such sexy sweet, naughty, and downright horrid boys they are! All I can say is... more please!"​ - Amazon Reviewer

"This author can write! I loved this story. The characters were interesting and relatable, and the storyline is HOT! Every scene got better than the next. I'll be looking for more from this author." -
Amazon Reviewer

Excerpt
"Dmitri pounded his fists on the table and said, “Now, you are being disrespectful to me.”
“Well, you are siding with all our enemies.”
 “What the hell are you talking about? You are under my protection and in exchange, I asked you to respect me. And if you disrespect me, I am in charge of the consequences. You agreed to this. Do you remember our written agreement?”
“Yes, I remember. Sorry if I was disrespectful, but I feel you don’t treat me like an adult.”
“Sorry is not good enough this time. For your punishment, you have three choices. Your first choice is to quit being an escort. Your second choice is for me to take you back to Adrik. Your third choice is to give your consent to be whipped with my belt and it won’t be play discipline.”
“I can’t believe you want to bring me back to Adrik.” Brennen shook his head. “I’m not quitting my job. Especially now since you are married. And you are not going to punish me with a belt. You're my boyfriend.”
Dmitri got up from the table, picked up the red apple timer on the stovetop, and set it down in front of Brennen. When he had gotten into trouble, Dmitri and Mischa used the timer for time-outs. The timer was their way of giving him some quiet space to think about what he had done wrong.
“Why a belt? Brennen looked up at Dmitri.
“Did you think I would discipline you with our play paddle?”
“But Adrik used to hit me with a belt.” He was annoyed at his own whining voice.
“It’s punishment. Quit your damn escort job, then.”
“I can’t believe you are doing this to me,” Brennen said.
“You have twenty minutes to decide which punishment you want. You only have three choices, but if you don’t accept any of the choices, then you are choosing to walk away from me as your lover.”
“You don’t mean this, do you?” Brennen asked.
“Have you ever known me to lie to you?”
“No.”
“I will always take care of you, but you will no longer be my lover if you don’t choose one of the three punishments. Our relationship is based on me being the top man who makes the rules and you are the bottom man who follows the rules. You knew this when we became lovers.”
 Dmitri set the apple timer. “You have twenty minutes to decide.” He left him alone in the kitchen with the red ticking frying pan clock.
Why was he doing this?
Brennen knew Dmitri could force him back to Adrik. But even if he made him go there, he would probably be able to run away. He did not want to take any chances. No, that was not an option, and Dmitri knew that.
Dmitri playing God again.
This was all about Dmitri forcing him to quit the escort job at the agency. Brennen was not going to quit his job. He loved it, and it made him feel good about himself. But to walk away from Dmitri as his lover was not what he wanted either. The only thing left was to give consent to be punished with the belt. How hard would he hit him? The timer continued to tick along with the clock on the wall. His nerves went to hell.
Dmitri entered the kitchen as the timer buzzed. Brennen covered his ears and slapped it. He picked the apple timer up and returned it to its proper place.
“What have you decided?” Dmitri asked.

#MFRWauthor @AnneKane gets Quick 'N Quirky with #MFRWorg

Learn more about MFRW author Anne Kane as she answers some pretty quirky questions!
Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy Jack Russell terrier, a cantankerous Himalayan cat, and too many fish to count. She has two handsome sons and three adorable grandchildren. By day, she’s a respectable bean counter, but after hours her imagination soars and she writes romances that span the galaxy and encompass beings of all sizes, shapes and origins. She first started telling stories as a child and she just can’t seem to stop.

Her hobbies include kayaking, hiking, motorcycles, swimming, skating, karate, playing guitar, singing and of course, reading.

If money were not an object where would you most like to live?
Hong Kong - I love it!

What song would best describe your life?
If you're happy and you know it...

What is your secret guilty pleasure?
Melted dark chocolate and berries to dip in it. Messy and soooo good!

What's your most embarassing moment?
When I was talking to someone very close (I thought) at a family reunion and realized they thought I was my sister. We're not even twins! And I bet I really confused the poor guy!

City life or Country life?
Country - hands down. The biggest place I've ever lived had a population of 2,700.

Ebook or paperback?
I love paperbacks, but ebooks are so much easier to carry, and they are available instantly. I love instant gratification!

Zebras or Elephants?
Zebra's of course. Anyone can ride an elephant!

Excerpt
“Delta Class Scout ship. I order you to identify yourself, or be prepared to handle the consequences.”
A deep male chuckle rolled through the comm link. Natalie blinked. Laughter? Was the idiot actually laughing at her? He was so going to eat her dust, and that would be before she grounded his sorry ass for the next decade or two.
Thirty years of practice gave her the edge every single time one of the cadets pulled a stupid stunt like this. Engaging the infrared overlay on the cerebral interface, she mentally plotted the other ship’s most likely course. Only an experienced space jockey understood that the shortest route was rarely the quickest, or the easiest.
Sure enough, the idiot darted between the two large asteroids directly in front of him. A seasoned pilot would know that the combined gravitational fields of the rocks created a braking effect on any smaller object caught between the two of them. Real-life one on one versus theory in the classroom. She could almost feel sorry for the pilot as he struggled to wrest control of his ship from the two inanimate objects.
Almost, but not quite.
She circled around the trap, putting herself directly between the rocket jockey and home base. Let him watch her tail for a while before she slapped him into the brig. Waggling her wings in an insulting salute that the unfortunate pilot couldn’t possibly miss, she veered toward home base.
She hadn’t quite finished congratulating herself on such a swift victory when her ship careened sideways, almost colliding with one of the smaller asteroids in the field. What the hell?
She jerked her head up, hardly able to believe the display in front of her eyes. The smaller ship had freed itself of the gravity well and moved to parallel her before turning so that his thrusters aimed directly at her side. When he fired them, the shock hit the pilot ship with all the force of a herd of thundering moon-cats.
Crap! This kid had balls. Balls and the makings of a star-class fighter pilot—if she didn’t kill him first.
Getting the ship back under control, she reined in her temper and concentrated on chasing the smaller ship. It had been a long time since anyone had actually given her a run for her money. She wasn’t sure she liked it. “Pilot, you just bought yourself a serious amount of time dirt-side. Again, I say, identify yourself.”
No answer.
“Who the hell are you?” Her voice harsh with suppressed rage, she gave the pilot one last chance to reply.
“Obviously a better pilot than you.” His voice was smooth and low, with a trace of male humor showing through. Arrogant, definitely arrogant.
She felt a grudging respect for his lack of deference. He had her on the run and he knew it. “I doubt that. I got careless and you got lucky.”
A disbelieving snort echoed through the com link. “I’m an excellent pilot. I don’t need luck.”
“And your name?” She didn’t recall the last time she’d spent this much time trying to extract information from a cadet. Who the hell was this guy? A few seconds passed, and Natalie realized the cadet was going to ignore her yet again.
Turning the mode to private, she called up the avatar. “Can you get anything on that ship? A registration number? Something to trace the pilot?”

SpotLight on Featured #MFRWauthor of the Month Suz deMello @SuzdeMello



Things Go Bump in the Night in Suz deMello’s Vampire Stories

 photo bloodisthicker_msr_zps8d3179f7.jpg


It’s almost October, which means we’re closing in on Halloween. Suz will be featuring her paranormal stories in October but don’t worry—there will be lots of steam!


Here’s an excerpt from Blood is Thicker, a vampire tale set in northern California. A paranormal action-adventure, it features two vampires, one selkie and a kidnapped baby.


I cannot begin to describe the communion that’s created when two immortals connect. Kissing is like an orgasm not only of the body, but of the mind and soul as well. Yes, we have souls, unnatural though they may be.


I tugged him closer, frantic to feel his chest against mine, desperate for his cock to enter me. It had been so long… Besides, up close and personal, John’s sheer masculinity overwhelmed me. I’d forgotten how seductive lust could be. I could become addicted to his kiss, the hard planes of his body beneath my questing fingertips, his raw animal blood-scent.


If you like what you read, find the complete short story here:

Kinky Toes is an erotic romance with Ellora's Cave by Suz deMello. 

Blurb:
Shelbie Nathanson resents Rick Saldano's ascension to C.O.O. of her family's shoe company, a job she's wanted all her life. But she can't resist his red-hot, sexy style of lovemaking... one that focuses on her passion: shoes.

Excerpt:
The moment they were alone in the elevator, she sprang at him and pressed her lips against his. His arms wrapped around her and held her tight as his tongue invaded her mouth. She sucked at him hard, shoving her hands into his hair. He tasted and felt divine.

Her body was aflame, all light and heat, and he picked her up as though she were made of unsubstantial fire, weighing nothing. She wrapped her legs around his waist, clinging to his shoulders. His big hands supported her under her ass, and he rubbed and kneaded the cheeks as he walked, continuing to kiss her hard and deep, the thrusts of his tongue presaging what she hoped his cock would be doing very soon.

He forced her against the wall, keeping her pinned with his solid, muscular body while he found his keys in his pocket and opened a nearby door. Dragging her through, he kicked the door shut.
She was trapped with him in the darkness. It was crazy, but she didn't care. At that moment, she didn't give two farts about the company or anything else except getting this man inside her.

Favorite Quote

Why did Rick the number-cruncher have to be so pussy-clenching, nipple-hardening, clit-wetting, squirm-inducingly sexy?
