Please give a warm welcome to Zax Vagen, author of Finding the Soul Bridge.

41eR+uFdWNL._UX250_Tell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.
I am a diverse character with many talents. When I was just a young boy, my father told me that I could be anything that I chose to be. I misunderstood his meaning as; “You can be everything.” Now I am just a plumber… and and electrician… and I own and run three small businesses, P.S Plumbing services, Renewable energy products and GreenEarth WormFarms. I’m also a boat captain, a scuba diving instructor, a real estate investor, a snake wrangler and shark diver extraordinaire… I write fantasy, scifi, motivation and romance. I have built a ship, been shipwrecked, gone bankrupt, restarted, patented inventions, started a new industry, written and published a novel, acted in five movies and planted more than 1000 trees.

Please give a warm welcome to Marla Monroe, author of Their Independent Submissive, book 5 in the Knights in Black Leather.

Marla MonroeTell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.

Blakely’s Friday Interview with A.C. Burch

Please give a warm welcome to A.C. Burch, author of The HomePort Journals.

Art MahoneyTell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.
I’m currently promoting The HomePort Journals, which is being released in TODAY by Wilde City Press. Rumors of a sixty-year-old murder have estranged two childhood friends for more than a half-century. An unlikely assortment of characters set out to find out what really happened. In the process they become a family—the kind of family Armistead Maupin calls a “logical” family as opposed to a “biological” family.

I’ve lived in Provincetown for nearly thirty years in a wonderful old house that looks out over the harbor. In addition to writing, I enjoy making music, photography, the visual arts, and sailing around Cape Cod Bay. Because I’ve lived there so long, I think The HomePort Journals does a good job of describing what it’s like to live in Provincetown, especially off-season. I’ve tried to capture the natural beauty of lesser-known parts of town as well as the wonderful, wacky, passionate people who are drawn to the place.

And now for the shameless pitch: You can buy the e-Book on Amazon today!  The Paperback will be out in May. Continue reading

Blakely’s Friday Interview with Gary Starta

Please give a warm welcome to Gary Starta, author of Coalescence (Camden Investigations Book 1).

Gary Starta Caitlin Diggs SeriesTell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.
I am a former journalist who began writing fiction novels 10 years ago. Since then, I have written cross-genre SCI FI. At least, that’s what I sometimes call it, or, Fiction on the Fringe of Genre. I have released the first book of my trilogy Coalescence (Camden Investigations Book 1) on January 31st.

What genre is your book? Do you write in other genres as well?
My book Coalescence would definitely be science fiction, however, there is some romance, a thriller element and mystery. My previous series, Caitlin Diggs, ran the gamut from crime thriller to urban fantasy. Continue reading

Blakely’s Friday Interview with Ashlynn Aimes

Please give a warm welcome to Ashlynn Aimes, erotica short stories author of the College Deviance series.

10421472_1380700695557795_4633702467540198387_nTell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.
Well, I’m an ex-military housewife. I have a degree in Psychology (I joined the military to help pay off student loans). My husband is the one who convinced me to try writing smut, and he’s been very happy with the results (after all, you can’t write good smut unless you enjoy what you’re writing about if you know what I mean). I hope someday to make a decent living at it.

What genre is your book? Do you write in other genres as well?
Currently I write strictly erotica shorts. I like writing about gangbangs and extreme kink fetishes such as watersports and fisting. Continue reading

Blakely’s Friday Interview with Dakota Dawson

Please give a warm welcome to Dakota Dawson, author of several short stories including Fulfilling Rachel: The Sexcation.

dakotaauthorTell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.
I’m an “experimenter” and love sex in almost every form. I have very few hang-ups and don’t judge anyone for their kinks and fetishes. As long as you enjoy what you’re doing and aren’t harming anyone (non-consensually of course), I think it’s awesome! I have a degree in English, but don’t blame me for mistakes, as I believe in descriptive vs prescriptive. Right now I am finishing up a foursome story (which might be based on a true story…), and in the middle of a dystopian erotica story. In the latter, sex has become a form of entertainment similar to television that is solely done through virtual reality. My protagonist breaks free from the mold and looks for physical interaction, no matter what the risk. Continue reading

Blakely’s Friday Interview with Scarlett Finn

Please give a warm welcome to Scarlett Finn, author of Explicit Instruction.

What genre is your book? Do you write in other genres as well?
I write romance. All of my novels have romance as their central theme. I’ve published in contemporary romance and romantic suspense, and have dallied in other romance genres in my private collection too.

Who or what inspires you?
Many things inspire me. I find that there are ideas all around us and even the simplest gesture or statement can lead to a spark of inspiration, which can be a springboard into the premise of a novel. Continue reading

Blakely’s Friday Interview with Dick Midnight

Please give a warm welcome to Dick Midnight, author of Dick Midnight and The Nether Regions series.

sword and pocketwatch logo crisp black and whiteTell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.
Dick Midnight is a badass.
He is also the master of pseudo-biographical mythological erotica, or mytherotica, for short. His stories have been must reads among an established cult following that discovered the works in the recesses of the deep internet. Now, for the first time, the extensive Dick Midnight catalog is gradually being made available in more accessible online venues.

For centuries, eons even, artists like Dick Midnight have warned of the dangers of the creatures of our mythology, looming in the shadows, on the fringes of civilization. But as science and academia have taken hold and proclaimed Gods and beasts as little more than figments of our active imaginations, we have let down our guard. When an unexplained abduction occurs, and Dick Midnight’s services are requested, his calling begins. He is at once monster slayer, damsel rescuer, and entertaining, engrossing, erotica wordsmith. Continue reading

Blakely’s Friday Interview with George A. Kos

Please give a warm welcome to George A. Kos, author of Wizards’ Secret Service: The Key of Radmarand & The Brotherhood of Darkness.

me (1)Tell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.
Since I was a kid I always loved fantasy stories and as some of my classmates always told me, I kind of lived in my own world. After getting older this passion for everything unusual grew stronger and I began to try writing short stories. Now I’m promoting my debut novel Wizards’ Secret Service and The Brotherhood of Darkness.

Do you have an agent and/or publisher or are you self-published? If self-published, do you use a professional editor? If traditionally published, who is your publisher?
I don’t have an agent. Frankly, more than 130 agents rejected me, but I was lucky to receive a contract offer from traditional publisher Silver Knight Publishing and I’m glad I signed it. Continue reading

Blakely’s Friday Interview with J.S. Snow

Please give a warm welcome to J.S. Snow, author of Redemption and Resurrection.

IMG_1989Tell us a bit about yourself and what you’re currently working on or promoting.
First of all, thank you for doing this, it’s a pleasure to be here. I currently work for a major HVAC company (the largest in the world in fact) as their invoicing coordinator; however I have been in the secretarial field now for twenty-eight years. I am originally from the Pacific Northwest (Go Seahwawks!) with a stopover in Utah for twenty-four years where my daughter was born and have lived here in Orlando, FL for the last ten years.

I have always wanted to write, but had put the dream on hold in order to raise my daughter as a single mother. She’s grown now, therefore it’s time for me to chase my dream. Continue reading
