Fantasea available now from Forbidden Publications
http://www.forbiddenpublications.com/book_pages/fantasea.html
Short Story
fantasy/contemporary
$1.99
Among some boxes in her closet, Brianna finds a tattered old book with the name Fantasea on the cover. As she starts to read about the main character, Lorenzo, a man washed ashore after a boating accident, she is hooked, and is magically drawn into the story.
Brianna knows it’s all make-believe, but quickly falls for the handsome stranger. With his quick wit and rugged good looks, it’s a fantasy come true, further proven by a night of mad, passionate love underneath the stars.
In the morning, a rescue team arrives on the island to whisk them to safety. Lorenzo is only too happy to continue their romance back among civilization, but Brianna believes that once they leave, the island magic that brought them together will disappear, and she will too.

| The After Aftermath Blog |
I must apologize to my readers for an issue brought to my attention earlier this week. I've been scratching my head over readers stating they couldn't get to my blog. Here's the answer: it's tagged as mature, so public access is limited.
You must be signed in to Yahoo to see the blog. If you don't have a Yahoo account, it's an easy process. If you do, simply be sure to sign in. The safeguard is in place to protect our underage surfers, which I'm sure we all understand.
On a brighter note, Aftermath has hit the #1 slot for highest rated FP book at Fictionwise!
Thank you, everyone, for your support and please feel free to email me (ravenesperanza@yahoo.com) with questions.

| Coming this Summer from FP: Lioness on the Knife |
Lioness on the Knife is a collection of eight of my favorite short stories, an anthology built around the theme of 'women on top'. Enough said. The excerpt below is from the story "Hot Chocolate and Celestial Fire" in which Sylvia, wealthy but desperately lonely since the death of her beloved husband, goes to an unusual brothel staffed exclusively by males. Just a taste - for the rest, you'll have to wait for the book.
Jeremy leaned into her touch, eyes closed. She had paid for his time and his concern, but even purchased compassion might bring some relief.
He echoed her gesture, long fingers smoothing a strand of hair back from her cheek, not a hesitant touch but soft as new grass. Her fingers slid behind his head, pulled him to her. A sudden ache sparked deep in her belly. She was ready to devour his mouth but he resisted the tug of her fingers.
His kisses met the side of her mouth in whisper light caresses, easing towards her lips with deliberation.
When she finally had what she wanted, his full lips pressing and circling hers, he slid his arms around her. Her tongue teased at the seam of his mouth, pleading for entry. He pulled her off the chair into his lap, his muscular thighs hard beneath her.
"You have such beautiful eyes."
"I'd rather you didn't lie to please me, Jeremy."
He pulled back to look at her. "They are beautiful. So dark and deep. Like cauldrons of the best chocolate."
"Do they make chocolate in cauldrons?"
Jeremy laughed, a musical rumbling deep in his chest. "I've no idea. Would you like one?"
"One what? Oh, the box you brought. Are you hungry?"
"I'm getting there." He lifted her back to the chair and rose to retrieve the box. "There are some things in the nightstand drawers if you happen to be interested. Want to take a look while I wrestle with the plastic wrap?"
She watched him walk away. Black denim hugged his thighs and backside and she thrilled to the slide of his muscles under the white shirt. With a soft hum, she sauntered to the bedside to hunt through the drawers. The 'things' Jeremy mentioned ran the gamut of sensible, quality condoms lined up in a mahogany jewelry box, to esoteric, illustrated best by a leather device of two small, studded bands with snap closures connected by a short strap.
She pulled out the whole condom case. A pair of sheepskin-lined handcuffs followed and two lengths of cotton cord.
"Dammit," she whispered.
"Everything all right?" Jeremy placed the open box of chocolates on the bed and brushed his lips against her ear.
"Yes...no... I feel so silly. Asking you to do the things he liked."
"Are they things you like?"
"Well, yes."
"Then please don't feel silly. What do you want me to do?"
She felt the tips of her ears burn. "Strip for me?"
Teeth white as sea foam flashed when he smiled. "With pleasure."
In graceful, languid movements, he tugged his shirttails from his jeans and unbuttoned his cuffs. He never glanced at his hands; his eyes remained locked on her. One button at a time, he teased each from its eyelet, the slow reveal of smooth pectorals speeding Sylvia's heartbeat.
A gold nipple ring glinted as he slid out of the shirt and Sylvia's resistance crumbled. She reached out and traced the hoop, so enticing against his toasted almond nipple.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
"At first, but no more than getting your ears done. You can tug on it. Just please don't yank."
She took the ring between thumb and forefinger and gave a gentle pull. Jeremy shivered, one hand gripped around her elbow.
"Too hard?" Sylvia whispered.
Jeremy undid the button on his jeans. "Oh, no. Sends a rush right down to my toes."
Her palms damp again, she slipped two fingers inside his waistband to lift the zipper away and slid the pull down. Under the denim, he wore black boxer briefs. How she loved those, the way they clung to every bulge and curve.
He hooked his thumbs under the waistband. "These too, or you want them on for now?"
"For now," she echoed, sliding a hand over his lycra-clad hip. His state was obvious in the tight briefs and Sylvia was flattered that his erection had sprung to full attention so easily. "Lie down on the bed for me, please. On your back, against the headboard." |

| We Have a WINNER! Pinpoint the City Contest |
Vanna, the envelope please. And the winner is....
Rachel Morse! Congratulations!
For her suggestion of Long Beach, CA. Temperate weather, between 50 and 80 for most of the year. Two universities and a design college. Musems. Art scene. And a well-established, comfortable gay community.
Perfect.
I had a lot of wonderful suggestions and one, of course, I received a number of times. Three guesses? Yes, San Francisco. I think I need to explain why I couldn't pick what seems the most obvious city:
SF is one of my favorite places but, as my father pointed out, it is a character unto itself. It permeates any story set there, one can't help the environs and the flavor of the place sprouting up. I searched Aftermath desperately for any passages hinting at SF behind the scenery, so to speak, and I came up empty-handed.
Perhaps another story will find me there.
Rachel - I know you're out there somewhere. Email me the address to which you'd like your packet sent.
