WYLABWYW: Author Bio

K.L. SILVER writes romantic erotica novels and XXX novellas. She adds a psychological edge which keeps YOU, the reader, on the edge of your seat. Or, such is the plan.
If that fails, there's a backup plan:  A LOT of hot S-E-X!
Now, where were we? Oh yes...
K.L. grew up, and still lives on the frozen prairies of central Canada. She lives alone, because she can. Her children have grown up to become strong, independent, and most exciting of all—gainfully employed adults.
K.L.'s crazy enough to believe yoga and instant coffee keep her sane. Her primary goal is to write a great story. Her second, of course, is world peace.
Namaste

WYLABWYW: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Something we won’t find in you author bio on your website (do you work, hobbies, what do you like to do when not writing/working, etc.).

I play with words and numbers in my head.  Constantly.  Often, when I'm sleeping! 
I'm a lightweight when it comes to alcohol.  My kids laugh at me because of it.
I keep trying, tho...lol


WYLABWYW:  Are you self-published, with an agency, or a combination of the two?

Self-pub'd.  So, hurry up with the questions.  The day pass has expired.  The nice men in the white van will be here soon to pick me up!


WYLABWYW: What inspired you to become a writer?

I think I was born with the desire to write.  Silly things like life and paying the bills got in the way.
Now that I'm an author, it's a LOT harder than it looked from a distance...lol


WYLABWYW: Do you have a mentor or mentors?

I did have a mentor when I began to write novels.  I learned so much from him, I could never express my gratitude.  It was a long-distance mentor-ship.  He lives (lived) in Chicago, and I in Canada.
I believe he's in prison now.  That doesn't mean he wasn't hugely instrumental.  He was.


WYLABWYW:  What do you do to prepare for a story?

Not sleep?  Stories, um, CUM to me in the night.  For instance, while I was writing Mastered, I was pretty sure the characters would NOT have names.  One night—BOTH names came to me in the black of night.
And, so, James Colton and Missy Weaver were born.


WYLABWYW: What do you find to be your biggest obstacle in the writing process?

Discipline.  I need discipline. (lol)


WYLABWYW:  Where do you write?

In the dungeon in my head.  But, also on a computer. I'm adaptable like that.


WYLABWYW: Do you listen to music when you write? If so, what do you typically listen to?

Silence. Absolute. Even a fan in the next room puts me off.  Hey, I'm easily distracted, what can I tell you!


WYLABWYW: How much of your book(s), if any, is taken from real life events?

Considering the genre I write, I'll take the 5th on that question, thanks. 
Standard answer?  Google is my friend.  Lol


WYLABWYW:   Who is/was your biggest support for your writing career?

Friends.  My kids aren't thrilled about the genre their mama chose.  Imagine that.
I also have an amazing Street Team.


WYLABWYW:  What lead to write your chosen genre?

They say you should write what you know?
Google edicated me good! lol


WYLABWYW:  Tell us about your book(s).



The MASTERED Saga (2 novels) is first and foremost a love story.  It is told from two POV's:  That of the submissive protagonist, Missy Weaver, and the Dominant antagonist, James Colton.
It is real.  Gritty.  True to life.  And, unique in its genre.
It refuses to stop at 50 shades.  Instead, it offers a full spectrum—from the physical and emotional to the psychological motivations behind a Dom/sub relationship.
The reader comes away not only panting for more (hopefully), but with actual insight into a quote, unquote - 'forbidden' lifestyle. (BDSM)
The way I see it, insight is the key to replacing fear with understanding.  As, it is with all things.
Oh, did I mention?  There's also a TON of hot, deviant S-E-X! Lol
To top it off, there's a chilling undercurrent of danger and suspense woven throughout.  The plight that Missy finds herself in will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Literally.
The surprise ending will have you reaching for the tissues.



A TRILOGY OF XXX BED-TIME STORIES GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU 'UP'! They can be purchased as a box set or individually.

WYLABWYW: Time to give your support a shout out! Tell us about your crew (cover designer, photographer, editor, videographer, proofreader, swag designer, etc.)

I am SOOO lucky to have an amazing support crew.
Between my web designer, Ell, and my PA, Nancy – there's not much I need worry about other than writing.
Silver's Ballsy Belles – the most amazing Street Team in town, could teach actual pimps a thing or three.  Every day, I am amazed at their selflessness.
I also have an incredible cover designer that puts up with my OCD and my anal-ity!  SPANK you HARD, Richard.


WYLABWYW: What are you working on now, and when can we expect your next release?

I've just released Trussed.  I'm not one of those prolific authors who can pump out three or four books a year.  I need a recovery period.  A re-juicing period.
I'll release another Angel Knott Trilogy come fall. (The Naughty Adventures of Angel Knott: viewBook.at/NaughtyAngel)


WYLABWYW: Can you share an excerpt from a work in progress?

Sure!  Excerpt from TRUSSED (Book 2: The MASTERED Saga):

“He was less than three feet away from Missy’s naked and writhing body.  She couldn’t catch a cold and him not see it coming.  She was most fetching bound to his bed, he noted.  The binds were symbolic, and he intended to make his point crystal clear.  The last time they'd spent the night together, he'd woken to find her AWOL, the collar he'd bestowed upon her unlocked and abandoned.
She had much to atone for and much to learn.  Judging from her swamp of a pussy, she was going to enjoy the arduous process as much as he was. 
Quite frankly, he could sit here and look at her until the end of time.  Missy was to his heart what oxygen was to his lungs.  After losing his wife to a freak asthma attack three years ago, he'd fully expected to spend the rest of his life alone, mired in guilt and remorse. 
To his Dominant way of thinking, he'd failed Angeline when she needed him most.  He'd been more than her husband, he'd been her Master.  She should have been safest in his arms. 
Instead, she'd died in them.
Yet, three years later when he laid eyes on Missy, it was as though life were just beginning.  The level on which they connected was unprecedented for both of them.  Words were unnecessary.  Hearts communed and souls entwined.  He was born to Master her as she was born to submit to him.  Each was born to love and cherish the other.  It was just that simple.
Feeling the luckiest of men, James drank in the delectable sight before him.  Missy was exactly where she belonged:  in his bed, well and properly trussed.
He meant to keep her as such...


Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us all.

WYLABWYW: Author Bio
Harper Miller is a thirty-something native New Yorker. She's traveled the world and lived in a variety of places but always finds her way back to the Big Apple.

A lackluster love life leaves time to explore new interests - for Harper, it’s writing. The Sweetest Taboo: An Unconventional Romance is her debut novel. In her mind, the perfect Alpha male possesses intellect, humor, and a kinky streak that rivals the size of California.

When she isn't writing, Harper utilizes her graduate degree in the field of medical research. She enjoys fitness-related activities, drinking copious amounts of wine, and going on bad dates.

WYLABWYW: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Something we won’t find in you author bio on your website (do you work, hobbies, what do you like to do when not writing/working, etc.).
I watch a lot of Netflix. Just got halfway through Daredevil. Man, that show is awesome!


WYLABWYW:  Are you self-published, with an agency, or a combination of the two?
Totally self-published!


WYLABWYW: What inspired you to become a writer?
Boredom, sucky dating life, reading stories with Alpha men who were complete douchebags instead of loving and kind. A guy can be an Alpha male but still be a decent human being. I was inspired to write a Dom, who pursued the woman he wanted without being a creep.


WYLABWYW: Do you have a mentor or mentors?
Nah.


WYLABWYW:  What do you do to prepare for a story?
Nothing really. Just plop myself down on my couch and start typing.


WYLABWYW: What do you find to be your biggest obstacle in the writing process?
Motivation some days, not enough time to get writing in on other days.



WYLABWYW:  Where do you write?
My kitchen or my living room on my couch. Occasionally, the library.


WYLABWYW: Do you listen to music when you write?
If so, what do you typically listen to? Sometimes, depends on what kind of emotion I’m trying to evoke. I can go from Nina Simone to Jay-Z to Nine Inch Nails. Never a dull moment, but I listen to all kind of music. I usually create a Spotify playlist for the story I’m writing.


WYLABWYW: How much of your book(s), if any, is taken from real life events?
Haha. Trick question. ;-)


WYLABWYW:   Who is/was your biggest support for your writing career?
Aside from my family, my team. My cover artist, my designer, my editors, my beta readers, and my blogger/author friends. They never hesitate to send words of encouragement my way. LOL, they’re also brutally honest, which I appreciate.

WYLABWYW:  What lead to writing your chosen genre?
I like kink. I also think it’s possible to intertwine romance and kink. You don’t see it too often in the romance genre. In erotica, it’s usually sex without any real connection between the characters.


WYLABWYW:  Tell us about your book(s).
Well, as I stated earlier, I wanted to write about a Dom, who was loving and kind but semi-aggressive in his pursuit of a woman he believed to be his soulmate. The Sweetest Taboo was born. After that, I began working on another story but I thought, “Gee, wouldn’t it be a great idea to write stories about kinky people on a website and their experiences?” From that idea, Ironic was born followed by Renewed. A kinky series.

Sweetest Taboo

New York City, Late Summer 2009

Like many single women who reside in the city that never sleeps, Micah Foster has had numerous encounters with undesirable men that make her want to renounce love. Just when she’s on the verge of calling it quits in her quest to find love and a sustainable relationship with a Dominant man, her friend Kisa requests her company for a girl’s night out at Spanxxx, a local fetish club. Both Kisa and Micah are seasoned submissive players in the BDSM lifestyle. Micah has been involved in the scene since her early twenties, but she has yet to meet a Dominant she meshes with and takes seriously. Now, at age thirty, she continues to search for a connection that repeatedly eludes her. Under duress, she crosses paths with Dominant Rick Thomas. Unusual and dire circumstances bring the pair together, and he’s exactly what Micah has been searching for.


The Sweetest Taboo is aptly titled. It’s an unconventional erotic love story that provides a different perspective of a relationship involving D/s and BDSM. The reader will follow Micah and Rick’s journey from beginning to end. You’ll laugh, you’ll be turned on, and most of all, you’ll find yourself cheering for their love.

*Disclaimer* If rough sex, an interracial pairing (Black woman/White man), D/s, and BDSM are of no interest to you, you should bypass this story. Intended for a mature and kinky audience. Recommended for adults 18+.


Ironic


I’ve got a funny story for you. A funny story I need to get off my chest. I can’t share it with any of my friends, so I’m sharing it on a kinky message board full of strangers. Well, it is the Internet. . . .

Although the Internet provides a sense of anonymity, names have been changed to protect the innocent (and not so innocent). Job-related details have been distorted to protect my identity, but despite the ambiguous details, this is a true story. A story very worthy of the acronym FML.

*Disclaimer* This is a short erotic comedy. Not a novelette, novella, or novel, but a short story. Content is intended for a mature audience, 18+.


Ironic is the first installment in The Kinky Connect Chronicles. The Kinky Connect Chronicles are short erotic stories all wrapped up in a neat little bow. No cliffhangers in the lot!

Renewed 

I was hurt. I was heartbroken. I felt abandoned and emotionally drained.

Sometimes heartache can open new doors.

Of course, names have been changed to protect all parties involved, but this is my story.

*Disclaimer* This is a novelette. Not a short story, novella, or novel. Content is intended for a mature audience, 18+.


Renewed is the second installment in The Kinky Connect Chronicles. The Kinky Connect Chronicles are short erotic stories/novelettes all wrapped up in neat little bows. These stories are standalones. No cliffhangers in the lot!

WYLABWYW:  Do you have muses you used for your characters?
Oh yeah. I have a visual in my head, and I try to find the closest thing on planet earth to those characters, LOL. Usually takes some time but nothing a Google search and Pinterest can’t fix.



WYLABWYW: Time to give your support a shout out! Tell us about your crew (cover designer, photographer, editor, videographer, proofreader, swag designer, etc.)
Shout out to Taria A. Reed Cover Artist extraordinaire. She does so much more than my covers. The woman is phenomenal. She also runs a diverse stock site called The Reed Files. My designer Crystal Rae does my banners and profile pic. She’s going to be tasked with coming up with a Harper Miller logo soon. Daphne W. is my awesome editor, whom I also refer to as Thor. Alison Velea is my copy editor. Laurel Cremant formats all of my books. She’s a fellow indie author, but her business is called Winged Styles. And, of course, my beta readers who are always there for me: Patrice, Tamara, Connie, and Monica. Thank you, ladies!

Special shout out to LV Lewis, Allyn Lesley, and Olivia Linden for always staying true and listening to me whine! Love you, ladies!

WYLABWYW: What are you working on now, and when can we expect your next release?
Renewed, which is book two in the Kinky Connect Chronicles, will be released on June 22nd. So excited about that! It’s an erotic romance that starts off a bit rough but ends on a happy note.


WYLABWYW: Can you share an excerpt from a work in progress?
Sadly, as I type this, it’s still with my editing team so unfortunately, I can’t share anything. I cannot share unedited work, LOL I feel so NAKED.


WYLABWYW:  Do you have any upcoming signing events or appearances scheduled later this year or in 2016?
Yes, ma’am! I’ll hopefully be meeting you and many other cool authors at Indies in NY 2016.


WYLABWYW: Which new authors have caught your attention?
New to me authors this year that I’ve been digging: Vi Keeland, Joseph Lance Tonlet, Jason Dunatos, Amy Harmon, Damon Suede, Avril Ashton. I’m sure this list would be longer if I wrote less LOL. Before partaking on this author journey, I read at least 10-12 books a month.



WYLABWYW: Thank you, Harper, so much for taking the time to share with us all.

Sorcha
Some men just can’t accept that a woman can be perfectly content without them. I mean, come on; a girl can get laid anytime she wants, it’s not like it’s hard. And lord knows, I have no interest in a relationship, there is no time for that drama-filled nonsense. Pursuing my passion in life is all that I have time for. Selfish and short sighted? Perhaps, but I know what I want out of life and have no problem going after it. Life is a string of decisions, constructed and manifested by us. I own mine and don’t apologize for it either.
Gavin
Defined by my past, I hadn’t ever considered love as an option for someone like me. That is, until I spotted that sweet little brunette from across the crowded room. It was magnetic, and as much as she tried to resist, I was going to have her. Come heaven or high water, she would be mine.

Cory D. Cyr - Interview


Author Name: Cory Cyr
Fiction or Non-Fiction: Fiction
Genre(s): Contemporary Romance/Erotica/Romantic Comedy
Number of books published: 3
Links to published work (Amazon, Smashwords, etc):


  
WYLABWYW: Author Bio

I began writing music and poetry at an early age. My love of music became my sole focus, and I spent quite a few years as the lead singer for many local rock bands. In high school, I was fascinated with the macabre and started writing science fiction and horror stories so dark they earned me the nickname "Gory Cory."

After years of writing dark tales, I never thought in a million years my first two finished manuscripts would be Adult Romance.

I am a devout vegan, as well as an animal lover. I collect antique weapons and crosses (I still have that dark-side).


WYLABWYW: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Something we won’t find in you author bio on your website (do you work, hobbies, what do you like to do when not writing/working, etc.).

I write FULLTIME. I have two cats Lizzy and Buffy. I was a DVD whore (1400+) until I discovered Blu-ray now I am a junkie big time. I enjoy foreign horror movies as well as television shows in subtitles.  I love antique and gun shows.  To be honest since it’s only me and my kitties I spend most of my time writing or shopping with my BFF.


WYLABWYW: What inspired you to become a writer?

I began writing at an early age and it stuck. I never once finished ONE of my manuscripts. They had piled up in drawers.  I stuck to short stories, songs and magazine articles. When my mom got ill April of 2013 I needed an outlet for my emotions. So, I began penning a dystopian YA. As with the others, I got bored and didn’t feel my creative juices flowing. I spoke to a really well known author about my writer’s block. She gave me the best advice ever. Don’t write what you hope will sell WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW.  Well I know younger men/older women better than anyone. It’s been my lifestyle since high school. So Reviving Haven was born. I have to admit me writing romance was really outside of my comfort zone. I didn’t tell any of my friends right away. And the sex. Ye Gods.


WYLABWYW: Do you have a mentor or mentors?

I have authors that helped me if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be answering these questions.
Cambria Hebert (sounding board for all my woes and constant questions) Mary Ting(holding my hand pre-publishing-she is a GOD send)

Jodi Ellen Malpas: For giving me the BEST advice ever.


WYLABWYW:  What do you do to prepare for a story?

Storyboard
Outline
Muses

Snatch- which will be released April 2, 2016 is a book I had to hire a technical advisor for. There are a lot of weapons and action scenes so I needed someone with expertise in that area.

Acquiesce -required several excursions to Porn/Adult shops and oh yeah I had to watch a ton of PORN(not the good kind but the instructional kind-YAWN FEST)


WYLABWYW: What do you find to be your biggest obstacle in the writing process?

Social media



WYLABWYW:  Where do you write?

I have two home offices and five computers but I generally gravitate to my bedroom because of the 28 inch monitor.


WYLABWYW: Do you listen to music when you write? If so, what do you typically listen to?

I have to have UTTER & COMPLETE silence. Sometimes if I need help with a particular scene, I will use the playlist from that book.


WYLABWYW: How much of your book(s), if any, is taken from real life events?

You’d be surprised. There is quite a bit, I just tweaked the events.


WYLABWYW:   Who is/was your biggest support for your writing career?

People I have never met. My virtual friends. The only family I have is my brother and he lives out of state. Sometimes you have to become your own cheerleader!


WYLABWYW:  What lead to write your chosen genre?

I have NO idea. I’m a goth chick. Romance was too FOO FOO for me. I like blood & guts.


WYLABWYW:  Tell us about your book(s).


Bite & Release: 
A love story that begins when (he’s) 8 years old and (she’s) 21. Fast forward 13 years later when he’s 21. 

I had no idea when I wrote this book women would embrace it like they have. I wanted to write a HOT as hell story, but make the ALPHA MALE a nice guy.



Reviving Haven:
An older disillusioned woman with no self-esteem and self worth meets a much younger, filthy-mouthed SCOT, who is an award winning video game designer and has major issues himself.


Acquiesce 
Two words: MALE BROTHEL


WYLABWYW:  Do you have muses you used for your characters?

Of course.  (WYLABWYW: The covers say it all!)


WYLABWYW: Time to give your support a shout out! Tell us about your crew (cover designer, photographer, editor, videographer, proofreader, swag designer, etc.)

Robin/Wicked by Design: Best graphic Designer EVER. She takes my vision and creates covers to die for.
I always choose the cover photo myself. Since I don’t use stock, each picture is a different photographer.
Danielle’s Dazzling designs creates all of my swag. We mesh no matter what I want (and sometimes it’s REALLY OUT THERE); she comes through.

All my book trailers were created by  Bibliophile Productions. Becca is amazing!


WYLABWYW: What are you working on now, and when can we expect your next release?

I am currently doing FINAL edits on THE REASON I BREATHE (Bite & Release 2). It will be published July 24.

I just finished revisions on RUG BURNS (Weezie’s POV-from Reviving Haven). It will go LIVE October 17.  

In between, I am working on Snatch due out April 2, 2016.


WYLABWYW: Can you share an excerpt from a work in progress?

I can give you the first line from Rug Burns: I LOVE COCK


WYLABWYW:  Do you have any upcoming signing events or appearances scheduled later this year or in 2016?

I don’t do signings.


WYLABWYW: Which new authors have caught your attention?

I really like Emily Cyr (no relation) and Sophie Slade(what can I say I’m enamored by Vampires)



Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us all.

Cory Cry - Cover Reveal


Title: The Reason I Breathe
Series: Bite & Release #2
Author: Cory Cyr
Genre: Adult Romance
Release Date: July 24, 2015
**Strong Language**Explicit Sex**Intense Situations**
*This is Shea's POV. It is highly recommended you read Bite & Release first*

I waited my entire life for one singular moment.
Everything I had endured—all the pain and suffering—I would go through it all again,
if I knew she was waiting for me.

Ryan Chase was the only woman I ever loved.
My obsession. My desire.

When she came home . . . loving her hadn't been easy.
The road to our particular happiness was paved with boulders.
I became who she needed me to be. Who she wanted.
Marriage and children— they were a dream we both shared.
Until a nightmare threatened to take it all away.

Is love supposed to be this hard?
How long before the person I'm pretending to be begins to crack?
I'm a liar. A fraud.
He is surfacing.

She's the only reason I survived. I lived.
She is the reason I breathe.
Now, when she needs me the most—I'm transforming into the person
I thought I'd buried years before.

I can't be without her. She gives me purpose and makes me whole.
Nevertheless, the universe chose a different route. God had a different plan.
And right now, I'm pissed at them both.
