    Hi! I am a new follower (just followed from one blog to another to another, lol). My question would be: Do the books need to be read in order? Do I need to read Deadly Captive before reading Deadly Captive: Collateral Damage?

    Thanks for the giveaway! *fingers crossed*

    Very good question, June!

    Let's see. The way DCCD is written, you could technically read it without DC, but there are subtle things you might miss without reading the first book. Cyrus for example. The impact of Nicole first meeting him lessens somewhat without the prior knowledge of who he is and what he will do to her. Then again it doesn't take long for her--or the reader--to find out!

    How on earth did you come up with Cyrus? :)

    I don't need to be registered for the contest. :) I have them both.

    Hmm...well, to be honest, Cyrus isn't the kind of man you 'come up with'. Honestly, he's been living in the darkest part of my mind, impatiently waiting for me to write his story. Most of my characters are like that, but he's unique in the way he controlled most of the scenes he was in. Between him and my muse it's amazing that the good guys triumphed. Neither is all that concerned about happily-ever-afters, but the characters that volunteered to face him (or were drafted ) were up to the challenge.

    would you ever consider writing a pre quel telling the story of how and why Cyrus turned into an evil sadistic pain loving brutal vamp that he is?

    Actually, I'm doing an interview with him which you can read here: http://www.im-no-angel.com/deadly-captive-extras.html that may answer some of those questions. The third part of this interview will be up soon. More questions will be answered in the last book of Deadly Captive (this was always intended as a trilogy) but...yes, I may eventually revisit Cyrus during his earliest, twisted years ;)

    What edge play do you want to add into one of your BDSM stories that you don't know about, want to research, but don't know where to start?

    Please enter me. :)

    Hmm. Well, I've played around with a few, but I'd like to go further into breath play and knife play. I'm pretty good at research and have awesome resources to get an inside look at the experience, but there' nothing like living it.

    The only edge play I wouldn't know where to start with would be fireplay. I understand the concept, but I think to really feel it you need to...well, at very least see it in person. Finding a place where I could safely have it done on me would be ideal though.

    Have you ever come to a pic decision that YOU feel personifies any of the central characters esp. Cyrus that you could share?

    June asked the question that I was wondering about-if this was a stand alone book or did I need to read the other one first. It sounds like such a good book. Hope I win it and then I'll go back and get the first one. Thanks for the great giveaway.

    For Cyrus it's hard, because he's so clear in my head, and no one that I've ever seen looks quite like him, but a combo of Rick Hearst http://image50.webshots.com/550/4/34/47/2478434470016205616SwdtHQ_ph.jpg and Sean Kennan (those eyes and that crooked smile!) http://www.infdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Copy-of-DSCF0329.jpg comes close.

    For Joe I always pictured Vin Diesel http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4NatgLaIB4A/TXMiin4-bJI/AAAAAAAAJOE/1Bn4nwmSDAE/s1600/vin-diesel-wallpaperb.jpg

    Lydia...hmm...this picture reminds me of her somewhat http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTNb5cj5L8EPKdP3i6Ro4BIzHeM26EZJKw92sOJMJlaJwDkOIYJHykdkbUX

    I am absolutely positive the readers see entirely different people though. Books let us cast our own characters in our minds. One of the things I love about them!

    Thank you all so much for your questions! I just realized I never gave a closing date for my little giveaway, but since I'm now taking part in a blog hop, I figured now was as good a time as any!

    Alrik needs to exact revenge on Cyrus. The story would definitelyland in my Kindle as soon as release.

BDSM UNLEASED & HOT JOCKS IN JULY BLOG HOP

By Bianca Sommerland -

**NOTE** A scheduling mishap on my part made it so my blog is in 2 hops at the same time. The only way I could think to fix this is by doubling up the prizes! The First Blog hop ends July 17th, so I will announce the first winners then. Thanks for your understanding :)  This is so the perfect Blog Hop for the Dartmouth Cobras! What makes it even more fitting is that these particular Cobras develop a very different relationship through the course of the 3rd book in the series, BREAKAWAY. I could tell you more, but I think I'll let the excerpt speak for itself! ;)   Check out the bottom of the post for prizes and don't forget to comment for your chance to win!  Rubbing his lips as he shook his head, he moved towards a bookshelf and picked up the first familiar book, Strangers by Dean Koontz . On another shelf he found a bottle of Jamaican rum and a tumbler which he filled before bringing the book and the glass to the chair. Not like he'd be able to sleep anyway.

Atlanta Insanity and...Oh yeah, a certain cover! ;)

This is going to be a quick recap of TNEE and then we'll get to the great big REVEAL of the cover for LINE BRAWL! <g> Followed by a teaser. ;) Ya ready? Don't scroll ahead, brats! lol All right, so for those still with me, getting to the hotel was like    So me and my beautiful roommate got early check in and crashed for a bit. Then it was time to get my boxes. One was already there!   BUT...the hotel couldn't find it.   At first, this was all right. Annoying, but stuff happens, right? Well, two days later, when they're still 'looking for packages', I was a bit less easy-going about it.   Not having a room for Wednesday might have contributed to me being a teeny bit grumpy. Not the hotel's fault they over-booked, eh?  Fuck she's hot!   Anyway, so we were lucky at least. Stella gave us a place to stay, and friends let us drop our stuff in their rooms. When we finally got rooms, the cleani

F**K The Rules...and how I write the books you LOVE! RELEASE DAY AND GIVEAWAY

By Bianca Sommerland -

Yes, I know, if I'm gonna swear in the title of a post, I should just do it, right? But I get in enough trouble for all my naughty pictures, so I'm trying to be a good girl... Fuck it! I'll give you a minute to either enjoy the picture or run away. If that makes you uncomfortable, you probably stumbled into the wrong blog. Totally cool. My books probably aren't for you, but today is the release day for a TON of awesome books, so I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for! Happy reading! All right, now that those who don't love manlove are gone, let's get down to the how and why of what I do. Not sure it will help any new authors who hope that I know what I'm doing and can point them in the right direction. The best piece of advice I can probably give you is 'Don't do what I do.' EVER. Seriously, don't. UNLESS you're willing to spend most of your career swimming against the tide. I
