S&M III release date and some other thangs….

Normally, I wouldn’t do a post like this. I feel my writing should be self-explanatory. However, the “interesting” reaction I received with the release of Vol.1 spurned me to do this. So, this is the only explanation of Vol.1 and Vol. 2 that will ever be posted.

 So…you’ve been waiting…anxiously anticipating with legs crossed (or for some of you freaks, wide open) about the announcement of S&M III, Vol. 2.

 Well, before I get to that, here are a few things:

1. If you didn’t like Vol. 1, please skip Vol. 2. You’ll thank me later.
2. If you plan on skipping Vol. 1 and go straight to Vol. 2, just skip Vol. 2 altogether. Again, you’ll thank me later because of reason #3.
3. Vol. 2 doesn’t start where Part II left off. 
4. Vol. 2 is combination of Part II and Vol. 1, with a very heavy emphasis on Vol. 1. What do I mean by very heavy emphasis? See reason #5
5. All the characters mentioned in Vol. 1 are coming back in Vol. 2 in different roles.
6. Vol. 2 is set up in the same manner as Vol. 1 with the three different sections for the main women: Sanora, Caprina, and Mariana. But there’s one exception…see reason #7
7. The order is different from the last book.

 Now we got that out of the way, here is the tentative release date for Vol. 2.

 Wednesday, October 10th. Price to be determined.

 Before some of you send me hate emails and come at my house with pitchforks in the middle of the night, I need to explain. Remember when I said S&M III was so big, I had to break it up into two books? Well, it’s true. Vol. 1 was only 60K words, give or take. Vol. 2 is closing in on 100K, pre-edit. Yeah, I have a lot to say.

 Please notice how I said the release date was tentative, meaning it could change. I could release it sooner or I could release it later. Knowing me, it’ll probably be released sooner or on-time. I really don’t like to push back release dates unless it’s absolutely necessary. It will be released this year, however. Even though, I will admit, I’ll be sad to see it go. *insert tear here*

 I’m not going to break up S&M 3 again because that’ll be overkill.  I am thinking about putting together a Collector’s Edition (or giving it away to a lucky few) that contains character diaries, bonus sex scenes, and other little tidbits. Still deciding on that. I did promise Scott & Mariana will show up in another story somewhere down the line as secondary characters and I plan to stick to that.  

 Of course, I can’t leave you hanging:

1. There will be a contest(s) to win a free copy.
2. There will be a happy ending.
3. The BDSM is heavier in the final book. As some of you may noticed, the BDSM gets heavier with each book. Vol. 2 will either make you uncomfortable to read it or excited to try it.

To end this post, on the Facebook page, I have mentioned about the “fucking” scene I was writing. Well, here’s a teaser of that scene:

 He let go of the pinchers and held one of Mariana’s legs to steady himself while his other hand pressed the vibrator against her clit. He moved faster inside her, never taking His eyes off her. “Say My name,” He directed.

“Scott,” Mariana moaned.

“Louder!” He barked.

“Scott!” Mariana cried out.

“Ooh, good girl,” He smiled.

 “My Lord,” Mariana’s body twisted and turned, “can I please cum?”

“No,” Scott kept moving inside her, “not until I want you to.”

Mariana felt her body shake and knew she was going to cum soon. If she did, her Lord would punish her in front of everyone. She didn’t want to risk that. “Please, my Lord…” she moaned.

“Beg for it,” Scott taunted.

“Can I please cum?” Mariana moaned.

Scott turned the vibrator on the highest setting. “I couldn’t hear you.”

Mariana let out a loud shriek. “Can I please cum?” She cried.

By the way, the aforementioned scene…is not in Mariana’s section of the book. I should also point out a lot of the excerpts posted on the Facebook page are also not in Mariana’s section nor are they in any particular order.

It’s about to a long summer for some of y’all.

And there you have it,

Sexy Six Sentence Sunday…S&M 3, Vol. I.

A few of my fellow authors are participating in this and I decided I’ll do it. Pretty much the premise is I can post a WIP (work in progress), a current story, or new release coming up.

Well, I have posted quite a few snippets of S&M III, Vol 2 on the Facebook page on Friday, so I’m going to promote Vol. I here today.

It’s quite a challenge, posting only six sentences.  I cheated today and posted seven. Here is a scene from Vol. 1 after Caprina and Scott have a threesome with his best friend:

Caprina reached over to the side and grabbed a vibrator with remote control. She lubed up the vibrator and slid it into Scott’s ass. She turned on the remote control to the highest setting as she kept rubbing Scott’s cock. He squirmed and slightly twisted his body, his senses overwhelmed with every stroke. His body tensed up, his legs steadied.  He grunted and groaned as he shot off on Caprina’s face. “That’s a good boy,” she purred as she kept milking him, “cum all over me, baby.”

S&M III is available at Amazon, All Romance, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords. The link to the Amazon site is on the pic on the right side of blog.

Thank you for your love and support.

And I do believe I created a monster…

I’ve always wondered what it is like to be popular and famous. Well, I’m not famous….I’m infamous. Maybe one day I’ll be famous.

So Vol. I was released last week and well, the reaction has been interesting. Despite me saying here and here on what the story was going to be about, not to mention the many, many Facebook updates on exactly what the story was going to be  about, there were quite a few of you that voiced (maybe, angrily objected is the right term) your displeasure on the storyline of Vol. I. A few of you actually said you were going to skip Vol. I and go straight to Vol. 2.

If I were you, I wouldn’t do that. 

The way the S&M series is written, the first three books are stand-alone, meaning you don’t have to read one to find out what’s happening in the others. Now, it would help if you did, but it’s not a requirement. However, the final book in the series is not a stand-alone. You would have to read the first three books to understand the final.

I repeat: you would have to read the first three books to understand the final book. There’s no way around it. 

To those who loved Vol. I, I gave you a special sneak preview of Vol. 2. And you should contest to the fact that yes, the same characters mentioned in Vol. 1 will make a reappearance in Vol. 2 in different roles. Characters mentioned in S&M II will come back in Vol. 2. Situations in S&M I will come back in Vol. 2.

I repeat: you would have to read the first three books to understand the final book. There’s no way around it. 

And just to make it clear, this is not a ploy to get you to purchase Vol. 1. If you do or don’t, that’s up to you. But I also don’t want a repeat (which I’ll probably get, anyway) of how Vol. 2 wasn’t the story you were expecting. This is the last time I will address this. Period.

I have hired a PR representative to take over because I’ve spent more time within the past week doing damage control than I have writing. So while I’ll still occasionally update my Facebook page, but for the most part, it won’t be me making the posts.  But that’s not a bad thing: you want me to write more and finish Vol. 2.  The release date with Vol. 2 will be out mid-summer or fall 2012. No sooner. 

And there you have it,

-V.

S&M III Cover (NSFW)

S&M III Triva Winners!

Hello, my lovelies, dahlings and freaks! I hope you’re doing fabulous and great. I’m hanging in there. You won’t believe how inexplicably excited I am to be wrapping up Part III (Vol. I). You have to understand I’ve been writing that story for about 8 months now, give or take. Editing, rewriting, writing, and more rewriting. Being a writer takes a lot of time, effort, and determination. Anyone who says writing is easy obviously SUCKS at it.

But that’s not the point of this post. Here are the trivia questions and answers from last week’s contest:

1. What was the song playing the background when Scott & Mariana danced? Artist and title.  Heavy Love Affair by Marvin Gaye
2. Name the interns at McCormick and Sheppard. Nate, Alex, Robert, Tawny, Jennifer, and Mariana
3. Sarah fantasized about Scott three times. Name the situations she did it in. 1. When she saw Scott spanking Mariana after breakfast; 2. When she was having sex with Eric; 3. When she watched Scott & Mariana have sex.
4. Mariana opened the forbidden drawer and saw a plethora of sex items. Name all of them.  From S&M I:

It was a treasure chest of erotic euphoria. There were dildos, vibrators, and clit ticklers. There were many different types of lubrication depending if you wanted edible, water-based, or regular. There were three whips, two were short and one was a flogging type. And don’t forget the edible creams with funny names (“Lick Me Hard”). A leather strap-on was tucked away beside a pair of fuzzy handcuffs. There was a how-to kit on bondage and an instructional video on anal sex for beginners. A wide array of porn was neatly arranged in the far corner of the drawer.  There were flavored condoms, specialty condoms and what really piqued Mariana’s interest, Magnum condoms.

1. What did Scott’s mother say when he told her he was bringing someone home? Her exact words? “Very well, I hope to meet her…she’s not Black, is she?”
2. What “gift” did Mariana suggest Scott buy for her? Bentley.
3. Who’s Alan? Salesperson at Tiffany’s
4. What movie were Mariana and Scott watching when they had sex? (Hint: it’s a flashback.) Mean Girls.
5. What did Mariana refer to Scott before they became intimate? Boss.
6. Name the gifts Scott purchased for Mariana. Louboutin heels, Tiffany diamond earrings, satin scarf, Chanel bag, rope and roses.

BONUS QUESTIONS:

1. What was the original title of Scott & Mariana? (Hint: a character says it in Part II.) The Hired Help
2. What was Mariana’s original name? (Hint: she’s mistakenly referred to it.) Melanie

So even though I said the winner would be chosen at random, I also had a handful of entries so I wanted to change the rules just a bit. There were about five entries and two were identical in all of the answers. Congratulations to Lillie Smith and Cheena! You two just got yourself a free copy of S&M III.  It’ll be delivered to you late Saturday or early Sunday.

And for the runners-up, you’ll receive about 40 pages (maybe more) of S&M III on Friday.

The new trivia will be announced later on today.  Good luck and thank you for your love and support! xoxoxo

S&M Trivia

SELF-PROMOTION! SELF-PROMOTION! SELF-PROMOTION!

This week kicks off a flurry of S&M III promotion. It’s a good thing the book is an erotic romance or you’ll probably be bored with my floods.

Tonight’s (albeit, late) posting is the first of two S&M trivia questions to win a FREE copy of the book. It’s like a ‘thank you’ to those who have supported me. But with any trivia, there are some rules:

1. You have to answer ALL of the questions right. But if that doesn’t happen, you have one more chance with…

2. You have to answer ALL of the bonus questions right.

So let’s rehash. To win a free copy, you need to answer the original questions right. If you miss one or two, then you still have a chance to win if you answer all of the bonus questions right.

Now, if you don’t win, don’t fret. There will be another opportunity next week with a different trivia! Yay!

You know I had to put this in here for shameless self-promotion.

2. You can only enter during the allotted timeframe: Thursday, March 29 – Saturday, March 31.

3. Winners will be chosen at random.

And now….the trivia questions. Good luck!

1. What was the song playing the background when Scott & Mariana danced? Artist and title.
2. Name the interns at McCormick and Sheppard.
3. Sarah fantasized about Scott three times. Name the situations she did it in.

S&M III Sneak Peek

Author’s Note: So for about the past month or so, I’ve been promising a sneak peek into the upcoming S&M III finale. Truth to be told, there were so many good scenes (yes, I’m tooting my horn) to choose from without entirely giving away the story. Of course, this scene is considered a rough draft; I rewrote Part I and II a minimum of 30 times each (not exaggerating) so this scene could be a tad different when it’s finally published.  Also, the picture included is just for storytelling purposes and not the actual cover chosen.

But enough babbling…onto the sneak peek…

*****

She went by Sanora. It was an unusual name and that was it. No first or last. No one knew where She came from or anything about Her history. In fact, Sanora’s own sub wasn’t sure, either. But the air of mystery made Her undeniably sexy.

Caprina motioned for Scott to stand up. “I brought a gift.”

Sanora glanced up at Scott. He was wearing a black tank top with leather pants and black shoes. He had short hair that appeared to be black in the candlelight. He was muscular but not overly grotesque. Most importantly, Scott had freshness about him that Sanora hadn’t seen in long while. He was still very green. Oh how young and innocent you are…

Sanora licked her lips as She admired Scott before her. “What’s your name, baby?”

Scott turned to Caprina. “May I speak, Mistress?”

“Go ahead.”

Scott turned back to Sanora. “I’m Scott.”

“Scott,” Sanora repeated with heavy emphasis on the S. She licked her lips and slouched back in her chair, one leg draped over a chair arm. Her high-cut black gown revealed toned legs. “Nice to meet you, Scott.”

Scott bowed down to Sanora. “Pleasure is all mine, Mistress.”

“Oh, it will be,” Sanora smiled. She spoke to Caprina but kept her eyes on Scott. “I’m going to borrow your toy for a little while.”

Caprina was known for her jealousy and insane temper. She went through slaves like water and Her failed attempts to challenge Sanora at every meeting were laughable. The fact She found a willing slave in Scott still made the other Dommes talk in disbelief. “I didn’t give you permission.”

“I don’t care,” Sanora stood up and grabbed Scott’s hand.  He hesitated and looked to Caprina for approval who begrudgingly gave it. Sanora led Scott to a private room and closed the door behind them. She flipped a switch and several soft lights lit up at the same time. “Sit down and make yourself comfortable, baby.”

Scott walked to the oversized bed and sat down on the satin comforter. Sanora crossed a line by blatantly disrespecting his Mistress but She didn’t appear to care or have remorse. Sanora was high up on the BDSM totem pole where She didn’t have to seek anyone’s permission. After all, She was the one that taught Caprina how to be a Domme.

“Did you want anything to drink, Scott?” She held the S again.

“I’m fine, Mistress.”

Sanora poured herself a glass of Glenfiddich and sat beside Scott on the bed. She swirled the whiskey around in the glass and took a sip, chewing the flavor with her tongue. “Do you drink?”

“Not whiskey, Mistress.”

“You should try it. I have a feeling you’d like it.” She handed him Her glass.

Scott took a sip out of the glass. It was strong but smooth. It almost made the hair on his chest stand up. It was a man’s drink yet Sanora was drinking it like if it were wine. Little did Scott realize at the time Sanora would have a profound impact on his drink of choice. It also wouldn’t be the only thing She would impact in his life. “Thank you, Mistress.”

“Anytime, baby,” She ran a hand through his hair.

Scott cleared his throat. He was still uncomfortable despite the bit of liquor in his system. He only thought of what rash punishment Caprina was going to give to him when he saw Her again. “What did you want me to do, Mistress?”

“I want you to relax for once in your life,” Sanora kept running Her fingers through Scott’s hair. “I can tell you’re stressed.”

“I’m a little uncomfortable, yes, Mistress.”

“No, not with this.” Sanora shook Her head. “Caprina. She mistreats you.”

Scott was hesitant to call Caprina’s treatment of him as punishment or disrespectful. She was his Mistress; it was his duty to do whatever She wanted to do. If She wanted him to lick Her boots, he did. If She wanted him to scrub Her floor with his toothbrush, he did. Scott loved and respected Caprina so much, it wasn’t an issue of respect. “I just want to make Her happy, Mistress.”

“That’s really fucking sweet,” Sanora deadpanned, “but she’s making a fool out of you.”

“I do what I’m told, Mistress.”

“There’s a difference between being submissive and being a weak bitch. Do you want to take a gander at which one you are?” Sanora snatched the glass of whiskey away from Scott and finished it. “I know what she does. Everyone knows what she does. BDSM is about respect and trust, not about who can humiliate their sub the worst. I know some people are into that nasty shit but that’s not the type of party here.

“She’s going to get tired of you always saying yes. You’re going to get tired of her taking advantage of you. She will fuck you over.” Sanora warned.

Scott briefly wondered if Mistress Sanora was saying that out of genuine care or genuine envy. With Her tone, it was hard to tell. “That’s a bold statement, Mistress.”

Sanora stared into an empty space. “It’s a correct statement, Scott.”

“I’m collared. I’m supposed to do what I’m told.”

“So? What does being collared have anything to do with saying no?” She retorted.

Mistress Sanora was right, Scott silently admitted. But he couldn’t let Her know that. “What do you expect me to do, Mistress?

Sanora lit up a cigarette and blew a plume of smoke in the air.“Nothing because I know you won’t do anything. Instead, here’s this,” She handed him a business card.

Scott looked at the card. It had an address in Italy. “What’s this, Mistress?”

“Sometime within the next year, you’re going to need to get away. Far, far away. When you do, look me up.”

Scott flipped the card between his fingers. It was bad enough Mistress Sanora felt the need to tell him why his relationship with Caprina was a joke, now She was predicting his future. Scott  concluded She completely lost Her fucking mind. “How do I know this isn’t a joke, Mistress?”

“You’re still holding the card, aren’t you?”
