Making the Most of Vacation Day (Losing My Mind)

Whew, nothing like a long weekend working to get ya' ready to go back and do it all again! (*cough*) At least I used my time wisely (or so I think.)

My dogs and cats are throwing me evil eyes--I heard one of them mumble something about an intervention (that's what it sounded like anyway!) The house has barely been touched (but then again, it's barely been messed up since I've been in the computer for days.) Oh, yes, and I've almost forgotten to eat--unless cereal and fruit snacks count as food. Some pretzel pieces I had left over from the work week were used as sample meat (no really, actual meat) in writing a part in my latest novella so they make the distinction--I've eaten plenty and well! Maybe it's the lack of food stuff, or the abundance of coffee, Mt. Dew and Twitter but I'm starting to think the animals might be on to something. Intervention here I come!

So what do I have to show for the possible stint at Passages Malibu? I'm glad you asked (I heard you, so don't try to take it back now!)

In my more lucid moments I managed to build a new website, in a very unfriendly program (I swear it was conspiring with the animals, who surely want the house to themselves to throw big parties while I'm away.) I'm actually pretty happy with the outcome, but right now I'm questioning my mind, so take what I say with a grain (or pound) of salt. It was much more difficult than it needed to be, but the result is very clean and pretty.

I also got the proof copies of the novella with the new cover and with just three minimal changes its now up for sale at Create Space.

It'll be available on Amazon in 3-5 business days (what is THAT?) Aren't all days business days for them? Or if you click on Amazon at 5:01 pm (your time zone of choice) on Friday is there a sign that has "Closed-Weekend-Gone Fishin'!" emblazoned across all of Amazonlandia? So, anyway--some day soon--the paperback of Not Even Death-Eternally Your Master will be officially available on Amazon. (How many times can I work the word Amazon into one paragraph? Talk about redundant word use-but there is no synonym for Amazon.com. (I dare ya' to try www. bigbehemoth.com and see if it takes you to Amazon: There is no substitute!

Just to change things up (new paragraph and all.) I finally made my Amazon Author Page.

Today, I read a great BDSM/erotic book and posted a review on (THE BEHEMOTH SITE.COM) And, just so I'd be well-rounded, I also wrote about 2,000 words or so in the next installment of Not Even Death...STILL Your Master.

The icing on the cake? I tweeted, retweeted, surfed Twitter and all my fellow twits and did it all repeatedly. Ultimately, the animals spiked my coffee with some sort of sleeping pill and took over at the wheel.

So, as you read this keep in mind--I've probably lost my mind, or am in an amnesiac state due to overdose of animal tranquilizers and cannot be held responsible.

Have a good night!

Back With A Hump Day Quickie

Sorry if I've been distant lately. I've been busy working on the new installment of Not Even Death....STILL Your Master; working my day job and to top it off I had some issues with my internet connection. I'm just not patient enough to write anything substantial or significant on my phone (okay, maybe it isn't lack of patience but rather lack of visual acuity.)

I'm almost to the half-way mark with the the novella and am enjoying the hero, rock-star, Blaze St. Sebastian immensely! I was hoping to be kept under lock and key with him until the leaves begin to change colors in the fall. But, in the name of selflessness, I want to share him with others sooner (like I could be in charge of a force of nature like him!?) His tour will be moving on and Markus has another to expose Calico to before she'll be ready for her happily ever after with her One!

I hope she'll find her One before Christmas. The most romantic time of the year, and the end of the old and start of her new life--sounds like perfection to me!

If you're new to the series (as most will be) read the sample of #1-Not Even Death-ETERNALLY Your Master. It will give a glimpse of what could happen to a slave after her Master dies. He's planned for her world to be shaken up--only to help all the pieces fall neatly into place again.

In #2- STILL Your Master- Calico will learn to embrace and take chances on life again with the sizzling rock God, Blaze St. Sebastian of the heavy metal band-HOT KINK.

#3-ALWAYS Your Master-Will remind Calico of the fundamentals of being an obedient, well trained slave.

#4-FOREVER Your Master-Will Calico finally have her happily ever after? Will it be vanilla? Will it be M/s? Only the gift under the tree with the big, red bow will reveal.

Looking forward to seeing where Markus Cruz takes us on this journey through his slave's life as he shows, Not Even Death.....will break their bond.

I am very pleased with the way this came out and the room it gives me to create the new cover for STILL Your Master.

Happy Independence Day! Teaser-Interview with Liberty from "Golden Doll"

In honor of Independence Day I thought it would be apropos to do an interview with the main character of my upcoming novel—Liberty Lee Lafayette—from “Golden Doll”

In between relaxing and preparing for the BBQ I’ve gotten a chance to sit down and have some girl talk with the interesting Miss Liberty.

Liberty: Hey, B.B. you know I’m called something else now, the name Calix gave me.

B.B.: I know, but we have to be careful not to give spoilers. The novel won’t be released until the fall of 2014 at the earliest.

Liberty: Oh, that’s right. Why is that? You’ve been writing our story for a long time. What’s it been? Two years or so now?

B.B.: Or so…(laughing)

Liberty: Soo, why did Calico’s story get released first? You haven’t even known her as long.

B.B.: Hey, who’s doing the interview here?

Liberty: I thought we were just talking.

B.B.: We are, but let me lead this please. Unless, you want me to talk to Calix? (laughing)

Liberty: (looking uncomfortable) Okay, but can you at least tell me why? Then I’ll let you lead the way, I'm sorry, old habits and all of that...

B.B.: Sure, but then, zip it! (Laughing—glaring lightly at Liberty)

I was so wrapped up in your story. I was writing, reading and thinking about you two all the time. I listened to your songs constantly. My whole world was your story—it’s such a deep one! When I actually finished the writing, I’d gotten to 95,000 words and realized I had a ton of editing to do.

Liberty:Wow, really? How many chapters is that?

(Liberty’s hand just flew up to her mouth)

Liberty: Oops! Sorry, I’ll be quiet.

B.B.: It is about fifty chapters, plus the prologue and epilogue. It’s the beginning of your story. It will be a series of three. I want to do it justice so I’m carefully editing everything. 

That’s when I decided to do Calico’s story. It was what I needed to give me space, and let me say, when I go back and listen after the time away—I’m blown away by the way it’s coming out. I think Calix will approve and I know you’ll love it.

(Liberty smiles sweetly, and motions locking her lips.)

B.B.: So, anyway, that’s the why of it. I hope to have it available by the fall of this year but I’m also torn about possibly shopping it to a larger publisher instead of self-pubbing it.

(Liberty jumps up and down in her chair.)

B.B.: I’ve played around with the title, and cover so many times. I think you’ll like the picture I used of you on the first one. You look amazing, glowing—angelic. Do you understand why I decided to call it “Golden Doll”?

Liberty:Not exactly. I know you’ve mentioned different possibilities to me.

B.B.: Yours is a story of great and complete transformation—in the truest sense. You were such a different girl before Calix. 

Liberty: Yes, I really was. I don’t know if I’d recognize the old me if I met her in a dark club.

B.B.: Exactly! So, I’d considered using Chrysalis—I just loved that one! But, I wanted to be a bit more ambiguous.

Liberty: You are good at that.

B.B.: Thank you! 

I try to build a story as it reveals itself to me. As “Golden Doll” begins, you are your old “tough cookie” self. Your defenses are all up; you know that. But, you’ll see my interpretation of the events, and how I saw it in my mind. This lead to my choice in titles and covers.

Liberty: Why “Golden Doll” ? I'm sure I didn't mention anything about dolls or gold.

B.B.: “Golden Doll” has to do with the meaning of the word pupa (which wouldn't make such a stunning cover or thought provoking title.) Do you think?

Liberty: No, I like “Golden Doll” better.

B.B.: As did I.  Pupa, is Latin for doll/girl and Chrysalis has Greek origins and means golden pupa of a butterfly. Now do you see the connection?

Liberty: Yes, that makes perfect sense! I did transform with a lot of love and patience from Daddy, I mean Calix. I hope that doesn't mess up your interview girl.

B.B.: No, you're fine. I actually think it's a good idea to at least mention the Daddy part, since that sort of thing can confuse some, and squick others. There isn't a massive age difference between you is there? How old were you when he found you?

Liberty: B.B. you know the answer! But, I was 29, and it has nothing to do with our ages at all. It has to do with...I don't know exactly how to put it, since I don't know how you've interpreted it. I know how it feels to me, how it is for us.

B.B.: Well, he is your Master right?

Liberty: Yes, of course and I'm his slave, completely.

B.B,: Do you role play?

Liberty: Not typically, no. It's not a light switch we turn on/off.There is no time off, time-out, vacation time or sick time (although we care for each other if someone is ill.) He is Daddy all the time, and I'm his girl always-24/7 around the clock, 366 days a year.

B.B. I know you, you're counting leap year!
So no adult-baby stuff for you?

Liberty: Not our kink, no.

B.B.: So what do you want people to know about your Daddy and you?

Liberty: Daddy is a word...it holds a lot of significance for me, for us. I won't say, "Imagine a less provocative word if it feels better for you." That would just be bullshit. Read the story and find out how he is my Daddy; why it is the only honorific that really fits. Let it make you uncomfortable when it should, but not because of that word. I'm sure B.B. has done the best to paint the picture accurately and with her own artistic flair.

I want them to know that it goes deeper than whips and chains and all the accoutrements associated with the Lifestyle. The subtle little things and the wonderfully profound things you may not realize until later, when you find yourself looking back again. All of those things matter, and the word Daddy matters, so suck it up and swallow hard and read on and you'll find the beauty of what a Daddy Dom can be.

B.B. Alrighty then! I think that's a wrap! Do you have a blog you want linked? And would you be interested in writing a guest blog for me sometime? I know you love it!

Liberty: Hell yeah! I'd love to do that!

Mine isn't up right now. It's under-construction and I'll be back going strong with a new project soon. I'll let ya' know!

Happy 4th of July!

Time for us to enjoy the fireworks!

Meet Blaze-TEASER for Not Even Death 2-STILL Your Master

MEET BLAZE

Blaze St. Sebastian. His name had presence just sitting there all by itself. Attach the rest of the man to it, and she’d definitely be toast! She could never discern what was more awe inspiring about him—when there was just so much to choose from. His impressive stature was obviously, well—impressive. 

The broad shoulders covered in intricate tattoos were the perfect shelf for the long, still jet, black hair. His long lean legs wrapped up like a beautifully kinky gift in black leather were the perfect trail leading to his boots—oh how she could kneel in front of those for days. 

All the wonders of Blaze were worthy of note, but all that glorious manliness paled in comparison to her favorite parts. Always tied for first place were his incredible face and his well-deep, blade-sharp dark and dirty—mind. 

His face looked to have been chiseled by angels and demons—in tandem for one day—for one colossal and unblemished project. His eyes were the perfect color of the water surrounding her beloved gazebo, and in them a fire raged amidst the tides. His lips were full and flawless and looked so delicious when he spoke. Oh God, his voice, how could I forget that voice? Oh hell, leave it to a man named after two saints to make me want to sin so… fucking… much!

Review of Not Even Death....by Reed James

Erotica author, blogger and reviewer Reed James gives his take on Not Even Death-ETERNALLY Your Master. 5 out of 5 hot lashes! READ THE REVIEW

Calico's Songs

NOTE: For those on goodreads.com there are videos in this post. They are also in my video area on my profile. They will not show up in this blog post.

Markus brought her to life out of the alleys of NYC and then, Not Even Death stopped him from bringing her back to her life! (Now THAT is LOVE!)



As the story unfolds she realizes LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL! The character of Blaze St. Sebastian will be loosely based on Nikki Sixx & Blackie Lawless....Tall, dark, intelligent, mysterious and tatted like a mutha! (How's that description?)

Only a man named after two saints could make sinning feel..so....fucking right!
