The AMBROSIA anthology!  My story is called JUST'S DESSERTS and is about pastry chef Justine Calodorini and tycon Adam Stade who adores her creations. 

Jesse has done a great job putting together this anthology and she's also been posting interviews with the contributors on her blog.  Yes, today is my day, so come read my interview at http://sexfoodplay.wordpress.com/.  She calls me scrumptious - I love her for that alone .

My story in the anthology is also available as a Ravenous Rendezvous, so you can check it out that way for a... taste.

More soon, Rachel!

I've been working double-time lately to catch up after a few weeks of illness. Now that my vampire novel Blood & Sex, Vol. 2: Jonas has been turned in, I can't wait to see Jonas's cover after the wonderful job that Ravenous did with the first one. It's so exciting to see this dream developing into something everyone can see and share.

I also wrote my first witch story this month, which will be in the upcoming Rekindled anthology edited by Elle Amery. I hope it's as much fun for you to read this paranormal short as it has been to write. Wynd, the hero, developed into a strong character that has me dreaming up new stories even now.  I can definitely see a new novel or two spinning out of this short.

There are a few other pieces I'm putting together. New curiosities are opening me to strange and diverse story lines. I'm learning more about the various fetishes that people have and exploring their depths to see what new lessons of human nature I can find. But I'm torn between so many fascinating subjects that I'm lost for a defined direction.

That's why I'm putting a shout out now to all the readers. I'd like to know what interests you, what you'd like to read about. I'd also like to know what you found interesting in the stories I have out so far. If you have thoughts that you'd like to post, please comment here or email me.

I'm looking forward to chatting with you!

Angela

Hello Ladies,

I've been shocked by what I read on blogs and watch on Utube. Women are asking if there's a difference between clitoral and vaginal orgasm. Em and Lo posted a video titled, "can women orgasm from intercourse alone," where they state that the majority of women do not have vaginal orgasm. How sad.

I am very fortunate to have an ob/gyn who supports my quest for sexual fulfillment. Dr. Daniel Stein is well qualified. Founder of the Foundation for Intimacy, he is the author of Passionate Sex: Discover the Special Power in You and the inventor of GyneFlex, an isotonic exerciser for the pelvic floor muscles (kegel). Another helpful resource is The Orgasmic Diet, by Marrena Lindberg. Regular exercise with the GyneFlex will increase blood flow and develop greater sensitivity and control. The Orgasmic Diet will enhance your sexual pleasure and teach you to avoid the orgasm killers (plus keep you slim and trim).

I am blessed to be multi-orgasmic and if you want more info, The Multi-Orgasmic Couple can be helpful (even your man can have multiple orgasms). I want every woman to have all the tools necessary for the full sexual experience.

Susie Bright says that sex is one of the most essential experiences of humanity. Dr. Dean Ornish states, "Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well, what causes sadness and what brings happiness, what makes us suffer and what leads to healing. If a new drug had the same impact, virtually every doctor in the country would be recommending it for their patients. It would be malpractice not to...." I couldn't agree more.

And btw, there is a definitive difference between clitoral and vaginal orgasms. Every woman might experience them differently. For me, the vaginal are intense, core muscle spasms, which radiate throughout the body. The clitoral orgasms go straight from the groin to the brain. Of course, the ultimate is getting both at once! We are so lucky girls. We were created with two!

And so, my dear fellow authors and readers: Here's to orgasm ... blow your mind!

Hugs,

Regina

I was interviewed a few days ago by fellow author Jesse Blair, and the question came up: Why do I write erotica?

It's a good question. Especially for someone who has been writing and publishing in other genres - historical fiction, horror/suspense, media tie-ins, nonfiction, mainstream - for quite some time. But it basically comes down to one thing. I write realistic characters and their experiences. Their lives. What the encounter, what scares them, excites them, makes them angry or sad or overjoyed. Yes, the stories often get pretty wild or scary and sometimes surreal, but the characters themselves are rooted firmly in reality. They love, they hurt, they bleed, they cry, they laugh, they tremble, they desire. We read about them because we want to experience what they are experiencing. We want to learn what they learn, go where they go, discover what they discover. So when the opportunity came to write about sexuality, it seemed to fit right into what I was already doing.

Granted, I've never been as explicit with my sex scenes as I have been with my Ravenous Romance novels and short stories. But real sex is pretty graphic, right? And so it didn't take much to open the bedroom doors just a bit wider so the reader could see more clearly what was going on. And what's wrong with a little literary voyeurism? I mean, isn't all fiction a bit voyeuristic by nature?

Love,

Morgan

Now that Mercury has turned direct, it's time to begin--new novels, short stories, anthologies and blogs. So here I am ... Regina Perry, author of Playgirl, "Brettsturbation" and "Tan Lines." I feel privileged and honored to be among these talented authors. I hope you're enjoying the novels and short stories at Ravenous Romance as much as I am.

"Brettsturbation" is a prequel short story to the novel, Playgirl. The story is an expanded scene from Chapter 5. Alena Conner, a suppressed Kansas rancher's wife, is fascinated with the world of sex exposed on the Internet. Stumbling across an interactive chatroom with live, naked male models she becomes preoccupied and logs in every chance she gets. She hits the jackpot one lonely Friday afternoon when she's the only viewer chatting in Brett's room. Engage in the pleasure as you read how he teaches Alena the exhilaration of cyberspace. Then read Playgirl and join Alena on her journey to discover and accept her sexuality and healthy libido.

Hugs,

Regina Perry

How does an author write erotic fiction? Or more specifically, how does a writer create effective sex scenes in erotic fiction?

The key is to tune in to what turns you on. Granted, our inner desires are intimate and personal and often quite private. Some even startle ourselves! But if a writer wants to create steamy scenes that will ignite the fires in his or her readers, then the writer has to be willing to explore and then put on paper those intimate, personal, private passions. The writer has to be willing to lay it on all the line, to allow his/her imagination to experience all these things and then share them. I've heard tell writers should never write as if their mothers are watching over their shoulders. Excellent advice, especially for writers of erotica. Let it all hang out! If this isn't the case, then the scenes will read flat, uninspired, and unrealisic.

Years ago, the book My Secret Garden made a big splash. It as a nonfiction collection of women's private sexual fantasies. Talk about steamy! Those interviewed held nothing back, and it made it very clear that there is a huge variety in what gets our minds and bodies a-throbbin'! There are some fantasties that do nothing for me. Others get me hot immediately. The ones that get me hot are the ones I'll include in my fiction. I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy watching others make love (there's a lot of that in my Ravenous Romance novel Haunted Seduction). I especially am turned on by two men enjoying each other's bodies (see my short story in Merry Sex-mas). I love the idea of powerful, brooding men who have in some way become vulnerable and need to be tended...until they're strong enough to rise up and turn the tables in a very big way (such as what happens in my Ravenous Romance novel Man of the Shadows). I love the idea of sex outdoors (soon to come in my next RR novel, Mad Mistress of the Mountain). Hey, humans are all part of nature, aren't we? And there are other hot situations that get me going.

And you can trust me to be honest enough to share them with you in my fiction.

Love,
Morgan

So it's been excrutiatingly cold the last 24 hours. Brutally cold. Below zero overnight. Time for warm socks and sweaters and leopard-print fuzzy slippers. Time for fires in fireplaces, kitties curled on a pillow, soft blankets and softer music.

And I've found another way to keep warm. And that's reading Ravenous Romance novels and short stories by some of the other grand authors on this site. Jesse Blair. Lisa Lane. Inara Lavey. Sephera Giron. Ryan Field. Hot stuff, all! Just right to help thaw out a frozen winer's night.

I'm also warming by writing scenes for my upcoming novel, Mad Mistress of the Mountain. Witchcraft, superstition, clan mentality, a beautiful misunderstood young widow, a handsome, brooding official who has come to the mountains to investigate dreadful mining disaster. The sparks fly, in more ways than one!

But until that is finished, check out my newest offering, Man of the Shadows, or my first Ravenous Romance novel, Haunted Seduction. Both involve frightening, supernatural events that sweep up ordinary people and thrust them into terrifying worlds where they must find a way to survive. And in doing so, they reach out to those trapped with them. The results are passionate, fiery, sensual, and emotionally satisfying.

And check out the works by the other authors here. Quite a variety of approaches and voices, but each offers some damn sexy stuff!

Love,

Morgan

Where do I find my ideas? Everywhere!

I jump off on tangents, one after the other.

Just there, up above, I accidentally typed "w-e-r-e" instead of "w-h-e-r-e" in everywhere. (Of course I went back and fixed it.)

But my first thought wasn't were, as in was, past tense, we were, I was, but were, as in were-wolf, were-bear.

Pronounced "where". I guess that's why I typed it originally.

You might be wondering what this has to do with finding ideas.

So, the tangent hopping had me visualizing hopping from log, to log, to log.

Where might such a thing happen? Where are there logs? Who would be hopping from log to log? (Besides a frog...)

Perhaps a contest for the strongest, most agile, muscular man in a female dominated society.... Where women rule and men are just physical labor....

But what if a ruler in this land falls in love with a man, a were-man, who is really something else when he isn't with her?

What could he be?

What if she values his counsel, and actually heeded his advice, but she would be publicly hanged if found out?

But she cannot possibly give up his touch. His caresses. His tongue lashings.

Who would have such a tongue?

Perhaps a snake; a pronged tongue to lick her most sensitive places. And who wouldn't listen to counsel when being lavished this way?

Perhaps he is a spy to win back man's place in society.... To put women back in bondage... What if she is the lynch-pin to the undoing of all woman-kind?

This is starting to sound like an erotic version of the Garden of Eden. I just need an apple. Loads of stories used apples, even Snow White...

All that from a typo. And I don't even think there's much there...

yet....

Hmmmm. Typo.

Type O. I'm type O. I wonder if that would be the Cristal among vampires?

Excuse me, I have some tangents to follow....

Please join me in my virtual imagination by leaving a comment, question, or thought.

What it is about a man in a tri-cornered or cocked hat that stirs such passion for me? What makes that so freakin' hot? I don’t think I could really put my finger on it. But when I’m in Colonial Williamsburg and a young man with dark hair and broad shoulders…or even an older man with steely gray hair and a square jaw…goes galloping down Duke of Gloucester Street on his horse, cape flying, black leather boots secure in the stirrups, eyes blazing, I feel absolutely faint in the knees. Is it the sense of power the man projects? The self-confidence? The aura of duty and determination and strength? The idea that a man who exudes such command would command me in all the best ways? Maybe it’s none of those or all of those. I just know that a tri-corn hat is a first step to getting me hot and bothered and willing to meet the man in stable loft or behind the oak tree in the lily garden. Every Revolutionary hero needs a willing woman to help ease his mind and his soul and his body.

My novel Man of the Shadows (debut Jan. 16) throws a frustrated contemporary woman into a terrifying time fold with a handsome, dedicated, yet troubled Revolutionary War officer. Together, in the wilderness, they must find a way to survive. Is this my fantasy? Well, of course it is! And I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed imagining and writing it. 

And I’d love to hear what you think. Thanks! And thanks, also, to those who have helped make my first Ravenous Romance novel, Haunted Seduction, a best seller. If you haven't read that one yet, check it out!

Love,
Morgan
