I recently found a listing of archaic laws in each state. They’re so stupid, I just had to share. As you may or may not know, I live in Virginia. Here are some of the dumb laws in my state…
♥ If one is not married, it is illegal for him to have sexual relations.
♥ You may not have oral or anal sex.
♥ Not only is it illegal to have sex with the lights on, one may not have sex in any position other than missionary
♥ A man may face 60 days in jail for patting a woman’s derriere.
♥ It is illegal to tickle women.

Please welcome Isabelle Rose to the blog, author of The Laurel. Thank you for agreeing to answer my nosy questions and share them with everyone visiting today.
Q: To begin, please share which genre(s) you write in…
A: Erotic romance, fantasy, and horror (paranormal).
Q: Out of all the stories you’ve written, which is your favorite?
A: At the moment I would have to say The Laurel (Coming out soon through eXcessica Publishing) is my favorite. It’s a novelization of the Greek myth about Apollo and Daphne.
Q: Do you need to be in a specific place or atmosphere before the words flow?
A: Not really. Inspiration can strike at any moment. I just have to make sure I have a notebook and a pen on me at the time otherwise I might forget what I wanted to write in the first place.
Q: If you could offer one tidbit of information for new writers, what would it be?
A: Write any chance you can get and never ever give up. Writing is the most joyful thing in the world (at least to me), it’s the business side of it that can sometimes kill the creativity that lives inside of you, don’t let it. You need the business part of writing in order to be successful as an author. Anyone can write, not everyone can be an author.
Q: Do you have an evil day job or do you write full time?
A: I used to have an evil day job…I traded it for being a stay at home mom. Luckily my son still takes naps and that’s when I can squeeze in a few quiet moments of writing.
Here’s another round of key words that brought people to make happy little home away from home during the month of January. I have no idea why most of these ended up directed to my innocent website.
“m/f doctor discipline stay still restraint orgasm forced”
wanton pussy
kinky strawberries
mama lust
“my clit” and “his feet” and “behind me” and “the plane”
“her slave” “not gay” “my ass”

Secrets and Lies
After the near genocide of his race, Teague Johnson now spends his life hiding in plain sight. In a city populated by humans and Nightfeeders alike, he and his brother are forced to cloak themselves in forged histories in order to blend in among the hierarchy of society.
Teague’s weekly trysts with Kyle Drake give him a reason to anticipate the future — until Kyle unexpectedly disappears. Afterward, Teague’s life is thrust under a microscope, endangering everything he holds dear. Allegiances are tested, and the lines of friendship blur in a race to stop an inhuman killer. Kyle’s fate hinges on Teague’s ability to untangle the intricate web of secrets and lies before it’s too late.
The Hard Truth
Blackmailed into claiming a birthright he doesn’t want, Cadge Johnson is thrust into a world of politics and intrigue. His only ally is old friend and former lover, Red Taylor — a Nightfeeder he has kept at arm’s length for decades. The sordid past they share is nothing compared to the trials ahead. After nearly a century of love, loss, murder, and deception, only the cold, hard truth will finally set them free.
Please welcome Juniper Bell to the blog, author of “Doll”. Thank you for agreeing to answer my nosy questions and share them with everyone visiting today.
Thank you for having me! I’m excited to be here.
Q: To begin, please share which genre(s) you write in…
A: I write contemporary erotic romance, for the most part, although I’m veering in some new directions. I’m working on a Regency ménage that’s a lot of fun.
Q: How long did you write before you received your first contract for publication?
A: I started writing erotic romance about two years before I got my first contract. The day before I got the news, it just so happened I’d crashed my car into a ravine, so I had whiplash and trauma and neck spasms. But I still managed to celebrate!
Q: Out of all the stories you’ve written, which is your favorite?
A: Ohh, what an impossible question! “Doll” is the most intensely emotional, “The Extremist” has a hot, mysterious hero, and my next book, “Training the Receptionist,” is the steamiest. I couldn’t possibly choose between them.
Q: Do you need to be in a specific place or atmosphere before the words flow?
A: If I had to do that, I’d never get anything done! I grab my writing time where and when I can. I’ve learned to tune everything else out so I can write. But I have to say I get my best writing done when I have no Internet access. The Internet is a wonderful thing, I love it for so many reasons, but it’s a huge distraction.
Q: What’s the strangest source of inspiration you’ve found for a story?
A: Well, this is going to sound … actually, I don’t know how it’s going to sound, but I get a lot of ideas during sex. Scenes and images pop into my head, and later on I write them down. Does that make me weird? I really hope I’m not the only one this happens to.
