1. Andrew, have you always wanted to be an author?
   
   
   I don't believe I ever had an epiphany that writing was my calling. I began my career as a freelance journalist and photographer and became a ManLove erotic romance author in November 2012 upon the publication of my first book, Ripped, with Siren-Bookstrand Publishing. So, in a sense, I've always been a writer, in one form or another.
2. What genre(s) do you write?  
   I write within the ManLove contemporary genre. 
    
   3)  Have you ever self-published?
   I have not self-published.  All of my titles have been released by Siren-BookStrand Publishing.
    
   4) Who or what inspired you to write your first book?  
   My partner, John, is my muse.  Living with such an attractive flamboyant gay man gives me numerous inspirational ideas as a writer.
    
   5) How many hours in a day might you write?
    My writing schedule varies, and is sporadic. I like routine, but I also enjoy spontaneity. I've written under different circumstances and surroundings, so it would be hard to pinpoint the exact number of hours.   
    
   6) Are you a plotter or a panster?
   I am a panster.  I do not write from an outline.  I never know how a book is going to end until it is finished. 
    
   7) Do you ever find yourself slipping away and becoming so immersed in your story it affects how you relate to others?
   I do not allow my writing to affect my relationships with others. 
    
   8) Are you in any of your books?   I infuse not only my stories, but characters with small bits and pieces and parts of my life. Still yet, my characters are original creations.
   
   
    
   9) What do your friends and family have to say about you writing?
   My family and friends support my work. 
    
   10) Please share an excerpt from one of your books or a WIP that totally spoke to you when you put the words down.
   From: Something Beautiful by Andrew Jericho
   
    
   “We are forever. That was decided the first moment I held you in my arms.”
   “When was it determined again?” Reed spoke quietly, looking up into his lover’s eyes.
   “The first time we made love,” Levon replied, “when you told me that wherever I am that’s where you heart will be also.”
   “And?”
   “Last night, this morning, and every time you trust your body to my touch. I know I’ve told you before, sweet transman, but you’re something beautiful, and so are those changes. What I see going on with your body is private, personal, and meant only for my hands.”
   This time when their lips met, Reed not only felt their sexual chemistry, but the deeper bonds of a couple who knew each other’s hearts. There were no words for this feeling, just the physical and emotional responses of their bodies that left Reed aching, with an almost unquenchable desire for the drummer burning within his soul. Levon’s lips were soft, searching, as they seemed to cover every inch of his own.
   “We’ve got something important to do today, and all I want is to take you back to bed,” Levon whispered, releasing Reed’s mouth with trembling hands. “My mind is trying to formulate a thought, anything, other than wanting to feel the sweet warmth of your ass around my cock.”
   Both men were quiet as raw desire, mixed with love, showed in their stares.
   “Okay,” Levon said, as Reed watched his lover run a hand through his long blond locks. “If I don’t stop, we’re going to be in bed again.”

Presenting: Caitlyn O'Leary

 

Welcome to Craving Erotic Romance Blogspot.

 

Today 4/14/14 we’re presenting Author: Caitlyn O’Leary

                                               

1) Have you always wanted to be an author? Since reading Trixie Belden back when I was 10 years old. 

2) What genre(s) do you write?  I write erotica, Menage a Trois, Happily Ever After.  What’s the point of writing a book without a happily ever after?

3)  Have you ever self published?  Just the books I used to give out to friends and family in elementary and middle school.

4) Who or what inspired you to write your first book?   Sophie Oak.  I loved her Bliss Colorado and Siren in the City series.

5) How many hours in a day might you write? I work a full time job, so I probably write 2-3 hours each day, and wake up in the middle of the night and get in another 1-2 hours each night.

6) Are you a plotter or a pantster? I never write an outline.  Since I’m writing a series, I have an idea of the characters I want to write about before I end the previous book.  Once I have the characters in mind, they write their own story.  For real, the story kind of just comes out of my fingertips onto the computer screen.  It’s really kind of weird.

7) Do you ever find yourself slipping away and becoming so immersed in your  story it affects how you relate to others? If I’m writing a really strong heroine, I’ll end up being a lot more blunt at work.  If I’m writing a more submissive heroine, I find myself deferring to others a lot more than I normally would.

8) Are you in any of your books? In one of my books I have one of my characters describe one of my worst dates ever, as her own. 

9) What do your friends and family have to say about you writing? Because it is erotica, I have mixed results.  The funniest is that I have my 80 year old father anxiously awaiting the print version of my first “dirty” book to come out.  He’s got everyone in his retirement community waiting to buy copies.  Apparently they’re all excited to read it.  Thanksgiving this year is going to be really interesting.

10) Please share an excerpt from one of your books or a WIP that totally spoke to you when you put the words down on paper.

From: “Trusting Chance”

 

         Chance leaned back on the dock, admiring how clear the day was now that the clouds had disbursed.  “Did you ever consider the possibility that you might have an inferiority complex?  That somehow your parents fucked you over into believing you weren’t worthy of anything good?  So whenever something bad happens, you blow it out of proportion and let it justify your underlying belief system?”

         “Jesus, Chance, are you planning on putting out a shingle?  I already have a shrink.”  Sam took a long pull from his beer and reached for another.

         “Nope.  I just figure it’s time I said my piece, because this is important, and I want it to work.  You and Josie fit because you both come from the same fucked up childhoods.  You can really relate to one another, and help one another.  I fit, because I can lighten the mood. You both need me.  Not to mention the fact that neither of us is going to let the other one have her to himself.”

         “There is that.  You try to take her away from me, and they’ll never find your body.”  Sam said in a pretty serious tone that made Chance laugh.

         “You could try, brother.  You could try,” he said, still laughing.

         Sam looked over at him, and realized it might not be as easy to take down Chance as he would like to think.  “Yeah, yeah, I’ve thought about why I have a glass half empty outlook,” Sam admitted.

         “No, you don’t have that at all.  You always see the good in others.  You see the good in a lot of different situations.  But when it comes to yourself, you have a broken mirror.  You, Son, don’t think you are good, nor do you think you deserve anything good.” Chance paused, letting his words sink in.  “Do you want Josie?”

         “I’ve had Josie,” Sam said with a great deal of satisfaction.

         “Do you want Josie for the long haul?” Chance asked.  Sam took another swig from his beer, trying to picture his very long life without Josie in it.

         “Yeah, I want her.  But I don’t know how I can do it.”

         “Remember how we were talking one day at a time?” Chance asked.

         “Yeah, I remember.”

         “Try this.  Spend some of the money,” Chance urged.  “And you have to spend it on something for yourself, something that you want.  Something that really matters to you.  Something selfish!”

         “You’re sounding a little like my shrink,” Sam warned.

“Jesus,” Chance opened another one of his Belgian ales and took a long pull.

Coauthored by Lynn Rae and Peri Elizabeth Scott....

In the early 1920’s in Lima, Ohio, John MacDonald Adair hides his speakeasy from the law, and his mixed heritage from the KKK, mingling with the rich, piling up the cash and taking his pleasure within the ranks of the flappers who patronize his speak.

Lilly Townsend is a serious, modern woman, a suffragette and temperance advocate with nothing to hide and no patience for the frivolity of the times. And she doesn’t break the rules—yet.

Such disparate souls should never meet, but Fate conspires otherwise. Powerless against overwhelming chemistry, and something far deeper, Mac and Lilly must make some difficult choices and face down societal mores—together—to attain their happily ever after.

Oral Sex Workshop (or Victoria, Your Twenty Minutes start NOW) - flash fiction

Each of the ladies in our writers group closed her eyes, opened a magazine, and pointed to her topic. Mine? Oral Sex Lessons! Here it is:

Caitlyn poked out her tongue while she stood in front of the mirror. How far should it stick out?

Glancing back down at the magazine, she quickly skimmed the relevant paragraph. Mmm. It didn't really say.

She squared her shoulders and stared at herself in the mirror. "Caitlyn," she said sternly to the skinny young fair-haired freckled woman, "you are going to do this."

Her reflection seemed to pale.

"Yes, you are," she insisted firmly. "Darling. Naming no names." Caitlyn rolled her eyes as she mimicked the throaty tones of her older sister's best friend, Juliana. Then she ground her teeth together as she and her reflection glowered at each other.

Plopping back down on the bed, she snatched up the magazine, determined to get the hang of this oral sex thing. But the words blurred as she remembered last night.

As she reviewed the flow of the conversation, she stiffened. The…the…bitch. Juliana had brought up the topic herself, right at the start of the night. She'd toyed with the strawberry from her champagne, sliding it in and out of her mouth. Caitlyn snorted. Was that supposed to be seductive? It made her sick, all that spit sticking to the strawberry.

Caitlyn's throat tightened, her bottom lip wobbled, and two tears trickled down her face. Hayden had stared, fascinated, at Juliana throughout the long excruciating evening. She'd leaned across the table, baring even more of her huge boobs, and had said with a knowing wink, "Darling, some people, naming no names, are quite talented in that direction."

There was a knock at the door. Damn. Hayden. She'd only got to the tongue loosening exercise.

Quickly wiping her face, she raced to the door, dropping the magazine, still in her hands, onto the dining room table. Hayden stood in the doorway with a bunch of roses, grinning. Before she could say a word, he swept her up in a big bear hug, then carried her inside. "Sweetheart, it's so good to see you." He lowered his curly head far down to hers and kissed her. His trademark, yummy, sigh-worthy, soft, gentle kiss. As he drew away, he laughed, as he always did, at her sigh. "What about that Juliana last night? Dahling," he said, his voice a low, throaty growl, "Some people are quite talented in that direction." His blue eyes twinkled as he chuckled. "God, I laughed all the way home."

"You…you weren't…um…interested in that whole…um…oral sex thing?" Caitlyn said, licking her dry lips.

His eyes fell to the magazine article on the table. Its huge headlines seemed to have transplanted themselves across her heated forehead.

ORAL SEX WORKSHOP —BLOW BY BLOW TIPS.

"Baby," he said softly, "we'll get to that one day, but for now, let's go out to dinner. We can take things as slowly as you like."

As he went off in search of a vase, Caitlyn breathed out a whole lungful of air. She picked up the magazine and went to throw it into the rubbish bin.

But a sudden giggle tickled at her throat. The picture of the banana drew her eyes to the article's first key point: How to Get Him To Go Down There More Often.

Maybe she wouldn't throw the magazine away.
