Welcome Doris O'Connor to the Darkside!

Today I have Doris O'Connor, Amazon and ARe bestseller and fellow Nuthouse Scribbler to talk about her latest release, "Sol and the Magic Fingers". Please give a warm welcome to one of my favourite ladies and one of the most talented people I've met. <3

****


Thanks so much for having me here today to share a little about my new release, Sol and the Magic Fingers.
This story was a dream to write, because it literally wrote itself J I've always been fascinated by Genies. Aladdin was one of my favourite stories as a child. So, when a reader left a comment on my blog wishing for a magical e-reader, I immediately thought, "Oohh, now there's an idea."
I was busy with other things, until New Year's Eve, when I was standing at my kitchen sink, doing the washing up, and … Poof … in true Genie style there was Sol in my head, telling me the entire first chapter.
Now, I love it when that happens, but it was New Year's Eve and I had a poorly toddler to boot. However, I know when resistance is futile, and like the dutiful author I am, I sat down and took dictation. Four am the next morning saw me type The End. J
So, there you have it. The magical journey of Sol, lol. I hope you enjoy reading his story as much as I enjoyed writing it…



Blurb:   
Breaking your e-reader at the end of a long and trying day is enough to send any woman over the edge. Karen's one treat are her naughty stories. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Saucy stories in the old library? It doesn't seem likely, but when Karen is sent home with an odd looking reading device magic happens at the touch of her fingers. Is the drop dead gorgeous man she encounters real or just a flight of her imagination?
Caught in a weekend of sexual delight, will she lose her heart, as well as her inhibitions? And is there any future for the two of them?

((Are you ready for a steamy tease? Have your fan at the ready! ;) — Arya))

Excerpt:
She jumped up, rinsed off her plate in the sink, and grabbing a fresh cup of coffee on the way, headed for the sanctuary of her bedroom. Here she liked to immerse herself in her stories, to forget about her worries, and let herself be transported into another world of drop dead gorgeous men, who actually knew how to pleasure a woman, and didn't leave their dirty socks on your bedroom floor. She giggled at the thought and ran her hands over the e-reader. Just like before it seemed to come to life in her hands. It shimmered and grew, and as if by magic the story she'd been reading appeared on the screen.  Well, Mr. Jones had said it was in there. She found her place and started reading.
Two hours later she dropped the reader out of her clammy hands and drew a ragged breath into her lungs. Wow, that had been an intense read. The story was hot, but somehow, this time round it had felt as though she had been the heroine in the book, so engrossed had she been in the scenes unfolding in her mind. Beads of perspiration covered her body, and her breasts felt heavy and so sensitive that the slightest touch of her blouse against her hard nipples sent darts of stinging awareness between her thighs. Her underwear was soaked through with the evidence of her arousal, and a mere brush of her fingers over the engorged nub at the top of her slit was all it took for her to tumble into a breathtaking orgasm.
When she had her breathing back under control, she smiled, as her fingertips touched the reader. It brightened and vibrated slightly, and Karen couldn't stop herself from murmuring her wish.
"If only you could magic me a real life man like the ones in your stories." The reader grew hot, and Karen yelped as it burned her fingertips. She blew on them and frowned, but the reader was once again back to normal. Still that odd looking design, but not glowing, vibrating, or otherwise, and—she touched it gingerly—not hot. Karen shook her head at her fanciful imaginings and headed for the shower.
That's what she needed, a nice long, hot shower to chase away the cobwebs and a chance to try out her new waterproof dildo. She sniggered as she turned on the shower and eyed the huge phallus shaped object. She would see…
She switched on the shower and stepped under the heavy stream. The power shower had been the major selling point when Karen had bought her apartment. Where other women soaked in the bath, she lingered in the shower. Nothing like letting the jets of hot water soothe cramping muscles and drain the stresses of the day down the swirling plughole. She closed her eyes and let her mind wander. She wasn't really standing in the shower—no she was on a tropical island under a cascading waterfall, waiting for her lover to appear. She smiled and cupped her breasts, imagining it was another set of hands massaging the heavy globes. She leaned back against the tiles to steady herself, only in her imagination it was her lover's hard muscled chest. Two strong arms circled her, and her heart did a silly little flop, as teeth grazed her ear.
"I've got you. Just let yourself feel." The deeply seductive, slightly accented voice dripped over her senses, like hot, molten chocolate, and the unmistakable edge of command caused a delicious flutter of excitement deep inside her core. He trailed his large, slightly calloused hands along her arms and pulled them up high above her head. Something wrapped around her wrists and another tug brought her up on her tiptoes. She swayed until his hard arm ‘round her waist grounded her against him. A hair-roughened thigh slipped between her legs, creating delicious friction against her core, and a rush of her juices coated her nether lips.
"Who are you?" She had to ask, even if it meant spoiling the magic, for the hard cock pressing into her ass cheeks left her in no doubt that she was not on her own. Either she was fast asleep, having the most erotic dream yet, or she had indeed been joined in the shower by an unknown man, whose clean and slightly spicy musk permeated her consciousness, and pitched her arousal higher still. Like the strongest aphrodisiac, his scent surrounded her, strange and familiar all at once, and the frisson of fear the absurdity of the situation brought with it, just increased the intensity of her feelings.
"I'm Sol, and I'm here to make your dreams come true. Will you let me?"

Thanks again for stopping by Doris. It's always a pleasure to both speak to you and read  your work.

Glutton for punishment would be a good description for Doris... at least that's what she hears on an almost daily basis when people find out that she has a brood of nine children, ranging from adult to toddler and lives happily in a far too small house, cluttered with children, pets, dust bunnies, and one very understanding and supportive husband. Domestic goddess she is not.
There is always something better to do after all, like working on the latest manuscript and trying not to scare the locals even more than usual by talking out loud to the voices in her head. Her characters tend to be pretty insistent to get their stories told, and you will find Doris burning the midnight oil on a regular basis. Only time to get any peace and quiet and besides, sleep is for wimps.
She likes to spin sensual, sassy, and sexy tales involving alpha heroes to die for, and heroines who give as good as they get. From contemporary to paranormal, BDSM to F/F, and Ménage, haunting love stories are guaranteed.

#SexySnippet, "Wine & Nine", "Ailsa"


Good morning, and a happy Sunday to you! Welcome back to another #SexySnippets extravaganza. It's been fantastic to watch this idea grow so quickly. Definitely makes me proud to be a part of the Nuthouse, that's for sure. :)

Today's #SexySnippet comes from the Nuthouse's first self-published work, "Wine & Nine". W&9 is an Anthology created during a weekend in Scotland (thanks to Raven's hospitality!). Even when we're relaxing and having fun, we never stop working. Well, I suppose that is because none of us consider it as "work". Work is typically a mundane and boring task one must carry out in order to survive. Writing is our passion and therefore we never stop encouraging one another or kill the love we have for our craft. So, look for more TNS releases in the future. :)


Wine & Nine
(Available here, now!)

Magic Mac and his Mystical tours, the brochure said. What it didn't tell the participants of this coach trip is that the quaint Scottish Inn they stopped at held a secret.
When you add women, wine, and men the outcome is never certain. Will it be happy ever after or is this just the beginning?
Find out in these nine scorching erotic short stories, guaranteed to raise a kilt or two.

Excerpt:

They'd barely made it to the top of the stairs when Jameson pushed Ailsa against the wall, his hands pressing her breasts together. They kissed with a fire that itched in the core of Ailsa's body. She dropped the key from her hand, clasped them behind his head, and wrapped her leg around his. He pulled his mouth from hers, grunting as he shoved her further against the wall, his erection hard on her leg. Her skirt had never felt tighter. Neither had her shirt as she struggled to keep her breath normal. She sucked on the air that he exhaled, quivering as she let it out.



Thanks again for stopping by, and don't forget to check out the other snippets below!

#SexySnippets from "The Blood Bar Chronicles, Book 1:The Alphas", "Perfect Timing"



Today I'm taking you back in time. All the way back to 2011, Rose Street, Edinburgh and maybe even farther. "The Blood Bar Chronicles" is an Anthology of combined and connected stories with fellow Nuthouse Scribblers. "The Alphas" was the first release and brought the underlying story to light.

The amount of dedication it took to plot and write these stories is much larger than you can imagine, but possibly the most fun I've had working on a story. We all think very much alike and enjoy the same sort of things, so #BBC is an extra special baby for a lot of us.

This week's #SexySnippets is from "Perfect Timing", my contribution to "The Alphas".



Blurb:


Josie McNair may be all fire on the outside, but her lack of self confidence had her insides twisted over meeting her writing group. She begins to realize there are more creatures in the world than she first suspected and finds herself thrown into a life where time has no meaning.
Time Traveling peace-keeper David Malm could never believe in love again. When a future Henri instructed him to look in at the Blood Bar on this particular night, he didn’t envision it turning into a Supernatural disaster let alone be in the throws of passion with a beautiful stranger. Josie re-ignited something in him he'd thought he lost forever and he would do anything to keep her safe.

Excerpt:


She'd never seen anyone so perfect in all her life. He was sturdy and warm. The sheer potency of her attraction to him made her stomach quiver.
He pushed her back against the table and threw her legs over his shoulders. He traced light kisses along her flat stomach and hips. The heels of her boots dug into his back, and she groaned, trying not to scream for more.
He grunted and gripped her tighter.

"The Blood Bar Chronicles, Book 1: The Alphas" is available now, at:
