Naughty New Years Bloghop

Happy New Year my naughty little blog hoppers! How nice it is to start the new year right with my favorite thing to read and write about: erotic fun! Join me in the main part of the blog hop to win a gift card to Eden Fantasy and enter a comment below to win a copy of the new Storm Moon Press anthology Milk, Cookies and Handcuffs with my first BDSM holiday short story! This anthology is an adventurous look at how many combinations you can get with bondage and some holiday bling. Not for the faint of heart, this anthology is in full QUILTBAG mode to cover all spectrums of sexuality.

2012 was a wonderful year for me, writing wise. I published my first short story in Coming Together: Hungry For Love, an erotic zombie anthology benefiting the American Diabetes Association.  Now my first bondage short "Holidays In Hell" in Milk, Cookies and Handcuffs. The New Year is off to a rousing start if I don't say so myself! I have a very active writing schedule coming up and will be penning several anthology shorts in the next few months, in addition to getting my first book put together. 2013 promises to be a great year and how wonderful that you are here with me to celebrate the writing and reading I love most of all.

Ah, the holidays. Gifts and songs. Tinsel and lights. Whips and chains? That's right. This holiday anthology is all about BDSM, filled with characters who know that sometimes it's Nice to be Naughty. This collection of five stories includes gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans*, and straight couples (and moresomes) that share a common desire for the kinkier side of sex: sensual bondage, sexual domination, and genuine, loving submission. And what better time to explore this dynamic of giving and receiving than the holidays? 'Tis the season, after all!

In "Holidays in Hell", Jonas is an incubus searching for one final soul to finish out his contract, but as a self-styled connoisseur, it has to be the right one. But when he finds the beautiful Holly Pendleton, Jonas is struck by her innocence and puts his own eternal comfort in jeopardy to protect her. Then, shapeshifting Ellis learns from his new master William about the traditions and true meaning of First Day, stories kept from him by his spiteful former master. The day of celebration becomes even sweeter when Ellis opens his presents and receives the "Gift of the Familiar" -- and then has William try it out on him!

For New Year's Eve, Ebet is afraid she's "Pushing the Line" by bringing her girlfriend Meg home to meet her family for the first time. Meg is confident things will go fine, but Ebet is a mess, so Meg steals them away and proceeds to give Ebet something else to focus her energy on -- her. Next, all that submissive Jeffrey wants from his mistress Athena is the "Gift of Self", for Athena to recognize Jeffrey's true identity as Jessie, a self-described 'woman with a penis'. Athena is scared and confused at first; she loves her slave-boy, but isn't sure that she can accept this a change this big. Finally, in "The Sub's Gift", the submissive Kyle gets an early Christmas present from Ryan and Amber, his Master and Mistress. But when that present turns out to be a sister-slave, Kyle wonders about his place in this new dynamic.

Excerpt:

"It's twisted." Mallory sniped out, her tone coolly disapproving. Grabbing Jonas by the arm, they trudged down the main street of the Old Towne shopping district, dodging tourists and rabid consumers on a mission.

 "You have lost your mind. Here? Seriously?"

Holiday music piped through the air and the smell of chestnuts roasting wafted towards them. The Carver Hills Old Towne Winter Carnival was in full force and it warmed Jonas' soul to see it. Throwing caution to the wind, he let out another burst of energy and sent it spiraling into the crowd. What could it hurt? He was here on a shopping expedition of his own and it wasn't for the latest transforming doll or gadget. Nope. Lust. Just a little. He was hungry.

Lust was, after all, his personal vice of the seven deadlies. It really didn't matter the form. It was usually sex that got people into trouble, but any old lust would do. And right now, he was indulging in a little proclivity of his own. Christmas. Twinkling lights. Tacky reindeer yard ornaments. Tinsel. Garlands. Ah, the things you

could do with a garland. A little tricky rope work and a willing partner and you had yourself your own little version of a bondage Christmas carol. A happy smile tilted up the corner of his mouth. It was funny as Hell, really. A lust demon with a fetish for

Christmas ornaments.

Bondage On A Budget by Alison Tyler

Filled with delicious fictional scenarios requiring no more than simple household items and a little imagination, this guide to do-it-yourself SM explodes the myth that adventurous sex requires a dungeonful of expensive custom-made paraphernalia.

The Interview:

1. How did you come up with the list for Bondage of a Budget?

Masquerade Books published Bondage on a Budget in the 90s—which seems like an ice age ago. (I actually remember what I wore to the pitch meeting with Richard.) The table of contents built progressively as I worked on the stories. Fun fact: Mr. Kasak bought the book based on my title alone.

2. What were some of your favorite stories?

Antonia’s Beast (which is a tale within a tale and involves eavesdropping and anal sex) and Andrew and the Blade (about facing your fears and desires).

3. Do you think you will re-release it with the popularity of 50 Shades making erotica more mainstream?

Bondage on a Budget is currently available as a Kindle. I am hoping to get a print version (at least a POD) together in the near future. Here is a link to Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004A8ZSUA?ie=UTF8&tag=prettythingsp-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B004A8ZSUA

4. What is the kinkiest home bondage episode from your book?

I think the naughtiest scene in BOB features eggs, an enema, and a shower curtain. However, I received a nasty review once which accused that particular chapter of reading like something out of a ladies’ magazine you’d buy at a grocery store. I always wondered what the deviant sex life of that reviewer was like. I mean, to me, the story was filthy with a capital F.

5. Your book is wonderful because it teaches you how to use common household items to craft a kinky scene practically anywhere. Have you come up with a couple of things to add to the list?

We’re always trying to push the erotic envelope. A recent event in my house involved one of those classic bells you ring for customer service at a deli counter. No idea what inspired me to purchase the little chrome toy—but our incorporation of the device into our sex life gave new meaning to the words “you can ring my bell.”

6. What are some of your favorite sexy songs?

I feature songs a lot on my blog. I mean, a fuck lot. And I make no excuses for my bipolar musical tastes. From the Kinks to Elvis, from the P-Funk All Stars to Gogol Bordello, from Portishead to Ringside—I am a radio junkie. Here was one day when the radio gods smiled down on me:

Love is the Drug by Roxy Music

Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed

Kiss by Prince

Time by Pink Floyd

Love Me Chase Me by Carney

Big Time by Peter Gabriel

Killing in the Name of by Rage Against the Machine

Closer by NIN

7. Have you ever used Christmas decorations or holiday gear in a kinky way?

Have I been tangled up in tinsel? Pleasured by a peppermint stick? Adorned with ornaments? Santa just checked his list and said, “Yes.” I’m a fan of using a variety of items in non-traditional ways, to the point where I’ve edited two collections of Christmas sex stories: Merry XXXmas and Naughty or Nice both from Cleis Press.

8. What is one thing you want readers to get from your book?

A pumped imagination is the sexiest tool you’ll ever need in the bedroom (kitchen, backseat, movie theater, alleyway, airplane, phone booth—oh, I miss a good phone booth…) If you can spin a story, or create a scene, using words and your fantasies, you’re good to go.

9. Eclairs or Twinkies?

Neither, thank you very much. I’m not a cake or pastry girl. Delight me with tubes of colorful Sweet Tarts, exploding Zots, and Sour Strings. I’ve got a dimestore palate. I can get off for .50 cents.

10. What are you working on now?

Several projects at once. That’s how it always is. I have a new bondage collection to turn in on September 1 for Cleis, a sequel to my guide Never Have the Same Sex Twice due on October 1, and a novel for November 1.

Ms. Tyler is loyal to coffee (black), lipstick (red), and tequila (straight). She has tattoos, but no piercings; a wicked tongue, but a quick smile; and bittersweet memories, but no regrets. She believes the rain won’t fall if she doesn’t bring an umbrella, prefers hot and dry to cold and wet, and loves to spout her favorite motto: “You can sleep when you’re dead.” She chooses Led Zeppelin over the Beatles, the Cure over the Smiths, and the Stones over everyone—yet although she appreciates good rock, she has a pitiful weakness for ’80s hair bands.

In all things important, she remains faithful to her husband of 15 years, but she still can’t choose just one perfume.
