Special Guest: Kameron Brook


Hi all,


Today's special guest is Kameron Brook, who frequently joins up with her partner Dirk out of the bedroom to bring the friction they create in the bedroom to paper - and boy, that's some hot stuff they're doing!
But before you rush off to get your hands on their naughty stories, have a look at my interview with the lady herself - enjoy :)


The business ones

Please give us a short introduction about yourself I’m just a small town girl who happens to love being naughty and writing about the naughty things I do or encounter in my life. After my first release, “Girls’ Night Out”, and Dirk’s first, “Voyeur”, we decided to join forces and write together. It seemed only fitting because we brainstorm together, share MS and we do love researching together too. Yes, I have a good life. J

What genre(s) do you write in and why?
We write erotica – gay, lesbian, bi, ménage, and straight
Tell us about your latest release
“Welcome to the Neighborhood” is a collaboration between Dirk and myself.

Blurb: Whit and Miguel are happy together, but when Meaghan moves in next door they decide they'd like to add a third to their household.

Do you need a special setting to write in or do you have a ceremony to get you in the mood? What does it look like?
I curl up on the sectional with Dirk’s robe and turn on some comedy show. Lately, it’s been Friends or Roseanne.

Describe your feelings when you learnt that your first book was accepted for publication
Totally shocked. No matter how much I write, I’m still amazed that someone likes it.

Has the release of your first book changed anything in your personal life? If so, what?
Nope. We shagged like bunnies before and still do. I take that back, we are researching more.

Where do you find inspiration?
Ideas come to me when I can’t sleep at night. Dirk loves to dirty talk so as he paints me an erotic image, I wonder how we can use it.

Who is your favourite character and why?
Emily from “Girls’ Night Out” because I happen to love doing yoga.

A favourite line from one of your books
I think all the comedic lines in our stories are my favorite. I’d list them but I’d rather you by the stories and find them yourself. (winks)

Your favourite drink and food when writing
Diet Mountain Dew/ popcorn


The nosy ones

How much of the real “you” is in your stories?
Every story has a section (big or small) that has occurred to either Dirk or myself.

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? Who was it?
I don’t crush on my characters but I am currently crushing on Ryodan from “Iced” – Karen Marie Moning

What’s the silliest error in a book you’ve submitted?
None actually come to mind but I’m sure there will be some in the future.

Who is your least favourite of the characters you’ve written? Why?
I can’t say that I have one. I figure if I don’t love them all equally, then I need to fix it (them).

The steamiest scene from your books
I can’t select just one so I will tell you one from each story.

Theatre scene - “Girls’ Night Out”.
Kitchen table scene - “New Beginnings”.
Office scene between – “Welcome to the Neighborhood”
Shower scene – “Voyeur”

Favourite comfort food?
Chips and salsa

A person you admire
Without a doubt - Dirk. That man pulls in many hours at work, helps out around the house, and still tucks the kids in at night. That is one helluva dad, person, and husband.


The fast ones

Favourite colour?
Purple

Favourite pet?
Black cat

Coffee or tea?
Neither. I do love cocoa though.

Quickie or candles?
Lights dimmed

Hunky or chunky?
I like meat on my lover’s bones. Male or female!

Suit & tie or jeans & boots?
Jeans and boats

Walk in the park or chat over cocktails?
Walk in the park

General Release Day: Sub-Culture



Hi all, 

Today is the big day for Noah and Pierce. Sub-Culture goes on general release, which means it becomes available from the big distributors like Amazon today. What better time to tell you a bit about the story behind the book.

After seeing several couples and a triad on their way to happy endings, I've grown used to all kinds of behaviour from my characters. Some are the quiet kind, some are very noisy, some can't wait to tell me their story, some require a bit of coaxing. I love exploring their quirky personalities and letting them take me on the exciting journeys of their lives. I love it when they just enter my head and grab a hold of my mind until their stories are told. Just when I thought I knew how it works, I was in for a surprise.

When I finished writing my debut novel Sub-Mission, I already knew there would be a follow-up which tells Francis' story. I wrote Re-Submission a few weeks later. When I finished Re-Submission, I knew there would be a follow-up on Tyler's story. I started writing that but then I got sidetracked. Well, not sidetracked so much as taken hostage. Another character entered my head, another idea and I started writing the story of Jonah, Noah's brother. No, wait! Jonah isn't the one who took me hostage, so don't blame him. Well, he did, technically, but before he could make me write even a single sentence about him, his big brother Noah stepped in along with his husband Pierce, and those two grabbed the story along with my mind and ran with it.

There was no hope for resistance. I just had to write them a sequel. At least they were kind enough to deliver the plot willingly. Very willingly, and oh, what a plot. I squirmed and cried and asked them if they were serious so many times. They took me through all the ups and downs of a long-term relationship, through the wear of raising a baby and the tear of mistrust, misunderstanding and jealousy. I cried for them and with them. I loved them for their devotion and hated them for their blindness and stupidity. They told me a story I hadn't expected in many ways and put me through quite an ordeal but it was well worth it.

I'm sorry, Jonah. You will get your story, promise. I just hope Noah and Pierce won't step in again and do their thing with it. Or maybe I wish they did...



Sub-Culture 
MM erotic romance / BDSM / contemporary, novel (sequel to Sub-Mission)
Published by Total-E-Bound
Heat rating: Total-e-melting
 





When life gets on top, delving into a sub-culture may be just what it takes to keep a sinking relationship afloat

Five years after the bumpy start to their relationship, Noah and Pierce have settled well into their lives as a happy couple. The arrival of a new child should have made their matrimonial bliss complete, but the strain of raising a baby and a teenager, combined with a lot of pressure in their jobs, is beginning to take its toll.
In the midst of what already is a potentially explosive situation, Noah’s younger brother Jonah comes to stay with them, forcing Noah to face the issues he still has regarding his homophobic parents and adding to the emotional pressure he is under.
When Noah starts behaving oddly and Pierce just can’t seem to put his jealousy to rest, the cracks in their relationship become too severe to ignore any longer. They struggle to keep their sinking love afloat but as Noah craves the comfort a certain sub-culture can offer, Pierce finds himself wondering just how far he is willing to step out of his own comfort zone to save their love.
