*tackles my neurotic muse and shoves her in the toy closet*
Okay, let’s start this over, shall we? Hi, I’m allegedly Kinky Cabal. I assert the allegedly because there is no irrefutable evidence, mind you. So I write about a BDSM resort called The Brigade with hot Doms known as the Pleasure Brigade. Who wouldn’t want to jump into a set of cuffs with guys like them around?
But, hey, I’ll admit that I find a little bit of kink to be a marvelous ingredient to strengthen a relationship. The foundation of trust and communication needed to engage in those sort of fun activities, after all, are cornerstones in any relationship worth sustaining. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it, thank you very much.
I’m supposed to tell you a little bit about me, but I assure you I am quite boring. I’ve been writing erotic romance for Ellora’s Cave since 2008. The neurotic muse currently banging her way out of the closet drags me across most of the genres: contemporary, paranormal, futuristic… well I think you get the point.
I love, love, love world building and the challenge of creating deep characters within that world and dropping them into a huge mess. I hope to have some of those worlds I’ve squirreled away the past few years released to everyone in the next year. My vices of choice are copious amounts of Starbucks coffee in the morning and Diet Coke as required during the day. I enjoy taking pictures of the gorgeous scenery of the Texas Hill Country when I get the chance.
I treasure my wonderful, loving and supportive family and friends and have been double rewarded with more fantastic author friends than any sane woman could keep track of. Hey, some of these witches are freaking crazy! Seriously.
Now that is way more than half my exes ever wanted to know about me. Surely that is enough, right? Good, I thought so too.
I have a release, Weekend Menage, releasing on February 6th. BUT for anyone who hasn’t taken a stroll through the Pleasure Brigade yet, Ellora’s Cave is putting the first book, Passion Next Door, up for free for two weeks beginning MONDAY. That’s right, January 28th. So go to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Ellora's Cave and just about everywhere else. (Pst...it's available free at Barnes and Noble now.)
Blurb
Once a month, Autumn Scott indulges in her voyeuristic fantasy thanks to a very sexy, very loud neighbor, who has no idea his encounters fuel her lust. Until she gets caught.
Now Autumn finds herself exploring her ultimate fantasy—submission. But the stakes are raised when Kade presents her with a twist to his usual play. He wants to add three friends to the game. Together the four men indulge her naughtiest desires and prove the pleasure she’d experienced before was only the beginning.

DeleteIt's my dream feline. I'm trying to convince my hubby that I need one, but it's not going over so well. :(

:O Kinky Hottness!! I so share your vice of copus amonts of Starbucks coffee!!!! And I love the Excerpt and the Cover! That rocks!! I just downloaded my copy!!!
ReplyDeleteviajeradelmar@aol.com
Isn't Starbucks awesome? I came by the vice naturally, mind you. My mom and family love coffee. She just recently moved into the area and I dragged her away from her Folgers. :)
DeleteShe's a 2 pot a day drinker so I think Stsrbucks owes me a commission lol
Alleged kinkiness...pardon me while I snort loudly. ;)

ReplyDeleteLOL! Um, you might want to readjust that halo a smidge, Cara ;) BTW, how many stories in the Pleasure Brigade series? And how many are you planning?
ReplyDeleteThe fourth one is in the editing stages and on my editor's desk. :) It'll be Lorenzo and Katey's story. I'm in the process of writing the 5th. I haven't really thought too much past that. I love The Brigade though...
