Welcome to the Guilty Indulgence Blog Hop! What’s an indulgence for an author? Something we write specifically for ourselves. In my case, it’s Safeword: Matte. At the time, it seemed every book I read had all of this drama pulling the fated couple away from each other, and forcing the couple to fend off all manner of contrived conflicts and misunderstandings to somehow stay together. I wanted to watch a couple come together with only the usual obstacles, so I wrote it. We still have a little conflict and drama, of course. Books must have something to make them interesting, but I enjoyed writing it, and I’m told it’s a pretty fun book to read. I’ll give away an ebook copy of Safeword: Matte on Sunday evening, September 23rd.

Sam wants to find someone to submit to who she can’t beat in a fight. She’s tried to make it work with men from the scene who know nothing about fighting, but it doesn’t feel real to […]

Welcome to the Sizzling Books of Summer Blog Hop! The theme today is a mixed drink that will work well with the book we choose, and for Safeword: Matte, I’m thinking Lynchburg Lemonade. I mean, the story takes place in Tennessee, right? Contrary to what one would think, Lynchburg Lemonade has no actual lemonade. It consists of: 1 part Jack Daniel’s® Black Label whiskey 1 part sweet and sour mix 1 part triple sec 3 parts Sprite The official Jack Daniels web site calls for “4 parts lemon lime soda”, but I like mine a little stronger, and I’m betting Sam and Ethan do, too.
