Can innocence ever be an incentive to murder?

A quiet seaside town is thrown into turmoil. Tammy Pierre, London based private investigator, accompanied by her sometime lover, Israeli art dealer and martial-arts coach, Dov Jordan, has just been brought close to tears by police photographs shown to her by an hysterical Eleanor Goldcrest, at the home of three innocent toddlers whose brutally murdered bodies have been found on the beach at Lyme Regis.

Wealthy financier, Eric Goldcrest, alarmed that his partner of three years, together with the local police has him nailed as guilty of murdering the children, now retains Tammy to prove his innocence and find the real culprit. But has his involvement in all this been misinterpreted?

In this investigation, with no apparant motive or forensic evidence, Tammy’s skills will be tested to the limit. In a twist that muddies the waters, Eric Goldcrest, laments that he’s simply never made it clear to Tammy about his position in the family and his relationship with the children, all of which have been assumed by the investigation.

A contract killer changed my life

The encounter inspired me to become a Crime Thriller writer.

He was a contract killer, and he was in my car!

I’d been lost, looking for West Thurrock in Essex, and asked a little old man in a shabby coat, on the opposite side of the road, the way. He offered to show me if I gave him a lift, and whilst I make it a rule never to give lifts to anyone I don’t know, I reasoned, he could hardly be a contract killer, could he. Could he? Of course not.

As we drove he casually informed me that he’d, ‘Done it for the Kray’s, mate.’ That would have been the notorious East London gangsters he was referring to, known to kill, or have killed, without conscience.

Once I’d dropped him off and recovered my composure, I realised I was looking at fodder for a short story. What then followed was a raft of short stories, including, ‘I am a Gigolo,’ something I told my wife when I first met her, and which almost ended our relationship before it had begun. That title is now the heading for a book of short stories.

Jokingly, over lunch, I told a fellow professional I’d once been a contract killer, and devised a story. He believed every word, and left me at some pains to disabuse him. That title, I am a Contract Killer, now heads a further collection of short stories.

Writer of scary short stories and full-length novels like The Lyme Regis Murders.

It’s been an fascinating journey... I hope you’ll want to share with me.

Adventures of Little Lady Jane by Breanna Hayse


Daddy's Little Lady 
Adventures of Little Lady Jane Book 1 
by Breanna Hayse 
Genre: Historical Romance


FROM #1 MULTI-GENRE BEST SELLING AUTHOR BREANNA HAYSE:
“This Victorian Age-Play is a unique tale of love, pain, discipline, and trust that extends across the globe. From the hard, gray lines of Victorian England to the colorful magic and mystery of India, this story unfolds with the opening of the ancient Indian book of sex – the Kama Sutra. The book contains sensual/disciplinary spankings and explicit sex scenes. If such material offends you, please do not buy this book. If it does not, then sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy a Victorian romance like no other.”

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. – David Viscot

Jane Foster, the ward and fiancĂ©e of Marquis Philip de Courtier, never knew how the forbidden book stolen from Philip’s library would change both of their lives. For hours, she would sit on the garden swing and secretly study the pictures illustrating the ancient text. She longed to be like the beautiful, sensual women who twisted their bodies into works of art; and to be anything other than Philip’s Little girl who needed guidance, rules, and discipline demanded by high society.
It was easy for Jane to call him ‘Papa’. She had teasingly done so for years; but as an adult, she discovered that the term came with a price- bare bottom spankings for breaking his rules. And Jane made certain to break plenty! Her rebellion grew every time he left her alone in the cold, dark manor. Rebellion that turned to resentment.
But, neither knew that the words in the Kama Sutra had taken root in their hearts- Philip through the teachings of his friend, the Raja; and Jane, through the stolen moments with her book. Upon his return from his latest trip to India, Jane found the confidence to express her needs. The cries of her heart were heard and, on that fateful night, Philip’s Little Janie was (temporarily) transformed into his Lady Jane.
But Jane had a secret. One she was afraid would repel Philip and make him change his mind about making her his wife. She found new friends within the Palace walls of the Raja and his family, and they helped her accept her secret with pride. She learned quickly that as much as Little Janie was loved by ‘Papa’, Lady Jane was the center of his heart and the desire of his body. She also discovered that as painful as his loving discipline was, the sexual satisfaction was even greater. Like the positions on the Kama Sutra, nothing was left for the imagination.
The fictional story of Little Lady Jane encompasses the essence of the Kama Sutra in a real life scenario, and shows how possible true transformation (in the heart, mind, spirit and body) can be achieved, even the stringent society of Victorian England. The sensuality and sexuality of India replaces the rigid rules and uncompromising dictates of Victorian society, and a story of passion, pain, adventure, and sexual awakening blooms from the depths, like the lotus flower arises out of the darkness of a muddy pond. 


Daddy's Little Courtesan 
Adventures of Little Lady Jane Book 2


From the #1 Multi-Genre Best Selling Author Breanna Hayse:
“This sweet Victorian age-play contains sensual/disciplinary spankings, the consensual exploration into BDSM, and explicit sexual descriptions and even some anal play! If any of this material offends you, please do not read this book. If it does not, then be prepared for an adventure into India during the Victorian era and enjoy the magic and mystery of the Kama Sutra."

Jane’s unique tale of love, pain, lust, discipline, and trust continues in ‘Daddy's Little Courtesan’, part two of the ‘Adventures of Lady Jane’ series by best-selling author Breanna Hayse.

The vibrant colors, exotic lifestyle and tantalizing sexuality of India have combined to make Marquis Philip de Courtier and his Lady Jane to decide to remain; with the Raja and his wives until their cottage has been completed. This gives Philip the perfect opportunity to expand his exporting business, while his Little Lady Jane continues to learn the ways of the Kama Sutra through her education with Usha, the first and strictest of the Raj’s rampantly sexual wives, and then going on to practice all she’s learned on her handsome fiancĂ©.

Jane blossoms in her discovery of sexual and sensual freedom, but she still struggles to curb her recalcitrant streak-one which frequently lands her in hot water with Philip, Usha, and even the Raja, who does not hesitate to show her how strictly (and unusually) he deals with disobedience with his own ladies.

Follow Jane as her relationship with Philip continues to grow in this, a tale of exotic beauty, Victorian age-play, scorching, explicit lovemaking and, of course, creative and rigorous discipline.

Daddy's Little Adventurer 
Adventures of Little Lady Jane Book 3


From the #1 Multi-Genre Best Selling Author Breanna Hayse-
"This short story contains elements of Victorian age-play, explicit sex and loving, but stern disciplinary spankings. If such material offends you, please don't read; but if it does not, then feel free to enjoy another Little Adventure of Daddy's Little Lady (available on Amazon) 

Little Lady Jane is visiting England where she again is faced with the harsh rules of British High Society. True to her nature, she defies each and every one. We all know what that means! 




BDSM/AP lifestyler Breanna Hayse strives to give her readers truth and reality of the BDSM/Age-Play/Total Power and Erotic Exchange lifestyle.
Who am I?
I'm a native Californian gone 'wild', and had the opportunity to travel the globe and discover the world through the eyes of both a Marine Intelligence specialist and a BDSM lifestyler. I left the service to go into hospice nursing and grief counseling, eventually working as a marriage and family therapist for those involved in alternative lifestyle development. This experience has allowed me to gain unique inspiration for my books and offer realistic plots and relatable characters.

In 2004, my husband, John, and I joined forces to work with both submissives and dominants- teaching, training, listening and loving. Our goal was to take the mystery and fear out of the lifestyle and mentor people in safe, consensual and healthy relationships.

My first book, The Game Plan, was published in 2012 and opened the door to the now-booming world of Age-Play literature. Since that time, I've devoted my 'spare' time to writing, researching, community involvement, and private and group pro bono counseling in deviant behavior, alternative lifestyle, and addiction recovery.

I was formally 'dungeon trained' as a Domme before discovering my submissive side when I joined the service. My scenarios are pulled primarily from either personal experience or observation, including spending time in BDSM clubs as the safety/medical officer. My multi-faceted background allows me to glean from many avenues and give a unique and intelligent literary experience through elements of fantasy and fiction. I also discuss the questions and psychology of the lifestyle in a manner that is fun and informative, and based on 'the real deal.'

I live with my husband, musician, and fellow-author, John Hayse, and two border collies in southern California. We practice a 24/7 D&S relationship with speckles of AP (and many trips to Build-A-Bear), and happily spend every moment together that we can. My hobbies include my puppies, hiding my vanilla salt-water taffy where John can't find it, exotic art, collecting inspirational trinkets, and developing my own paddle line. You can also see me as a featured author/instructor in professional conference settings and as a Sexpert for kinkyliterature.com.

Snardler by James B. Caruthers



The Catalogues of Epicness, Book 1
Young Adult Humor
Date Published: 12/14/2019
Publisher: INtense Publications LLC

Xavier Crenshaw discovers his life’s calling when he devises an elaborate prank that goes badly wrong. Enlightened by this experience, Xavier creates “snardling,” which is subtly but crucially different from ordinary pranks. For starters, snardlers never get caught. Crisis comes when Xavier and his two partners snardle the whole school, and the wrong person gets blamed. The team falls apart in the aftermath, until a despondent Xavier receives a secret note requesting a snardle of extraordinary proportions to occur at the unveiling of long-dead poet’s secret diary. Despite his careful planning, Xavier wasn’t ready for the terrifying surprise awaiting him, and no one in Penceleton is prepared for what comes next.



About the Author




Bearded, sluggish, treacherous, delightfully aromatic-- these are but a few of the adjectives that employers, friends, fans, and law enforcement have used when struggling to describe Houston-based novelist James B. Caruthers. He is a dad, a public-interest attorney, and proud author of his frankly dangerous debut novel Snardler.

James has dreamed of being a writer since the second grade. Now that this has been accomplished, he’s pretty darn full of himself. He loves his kids, loved being a kid, and is crazy about writing for kids. His writing philosophy is simple: never patronize. His snardling philosophy is equally as simple: never get caught.

Biker Beauties Volume 1 by Audrey Carlan






Title: Biker Beauties Volume 1
Series: Biker Beauties #1-2
Author: Audrey Carlan
Genre: Erotic Romance

Cover Design: Jena Brignola
Release Date: December 30, 2019





Blurb


From
Audrey Carlan, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the
Calendar Girl series.

Biker
Babe (Biker Beauties #1)

Princess.
That’s what the club calls me. I’m not frilly, into pink, or expect a man to
woo me with chocolates and flowers. I don’t need candlelit dinners and long
walks on the beach.

I’m not the
girl you take home to your parents. I like wild, fun, and good times. I’m the
kind of girl you put on the back of your bike and ride through the night…in
more ways than one.

I like the
wind in my hair and the open road before me. I was born a biker princess and
I’ll be one until the day I die. The man in my life can try to tame me, but
he’ll have one hell of a fight on his hands. Though if he wins, he’ll get the
ultimate prize…all of me. Devoted. His old lady through thick and thin.

So when I
opened my store, aptly named Biker Babe, I didn’t expect to have the biggest,
sexiest, most jaw-dropping man walk into my shop and set my world on fire. I
wanted him instantly. Only problem, my father is the president of the Hero’s
Pride MC, and Taggart “Rex” Crawford is his new Vice President.

Our Pride
likes to live wild and ride free but everyone knows the President’s daughter is
off limits.

Biker
Beloved (Biker Beauties #2)

The day I
found out I was going to be a father was the scariest, most shocking moment of
my life. Worse, my brand new baby girl was dropped off in the arms of my
motorcycle club, abandoned by her mother while I was fighting in Afghanistan.
Of course, I did what I had to do, and returned home as soon as possible.

At this
point in my life, women were the last thing on my mind. I could easily pick up
one at the bar or partake of the many club girls vying for The Pride’s
attention.

Then she
entered my sights.

Anya
Markova.

It was her
eyes I noticed first. Bright blue and haunted. They spoke of a sadness I wanted
nothing more than to whisk away. My first attempt at wooing her didn’t go well.
Anya wasn’t the type of girl I could just pick up. She was the type I’d need to
court…relentlessly.

When I
found out Anya was my daughter’s much-admired ballet teacher, I knew exactly
what I had to do—and I wasn’t above using my daughter’s love of her new teacher
to make it happen. Because throughout my years in the club, serving my country,
traveling the world, I’d never met a woman who made my soul sigh the way she
did.

Now, I’d
stop at nothing to make this stunning ballerina my old lady.  

The Biker Beauties is a collection of interconnected
standalone novellas. They can be read out of order if desired. They are high in
heat, but don’t forget the sweet.
