So, firstly I would like to apologize for the lack of rambling I have done on my blog. This is something I am going to correct this year as I realize that at the moment it is mostly guest authors I have on here. Truth be told, I have been so busy with work that my writing has suffered and a lot of my projects have been neglected and due to that I haven't had much to say. But like I said just a second ago, I plan to correct that this year. So, let me tell you a little about my brand new release - Creak - which is out today.
Like On the Rocks was my first Decadent book; my first f/f story, and my first strictly erotic title and short, Creak is yet another first for me in a couple of ways.
It is my first title to be released with Secret Cravings Publishing, but it is also my first erotic thriller and ménage book. It has been classed under erotic romance, and with the relationship between the three leads, well, it is understandable. But I class this as erotic. There is not a stereotypical romantic happily ever after in this book. So, I just want you all to be aware of that before you make a decision to indeed buy and read it.
I am a big fan of horror and thriller movies, and thought I would give the genre a go, because you know how much I love trying new things out. Creak was originally written for a Halloween anthology call, which fell through due to changes in the publishing company. So, naturally, I waited for my 90 days after submission to be up and then submitted this book to another publishing company. I'm happy it has found a place with SCP. I had fun reading my editors suggestions and adding extra scenes in to the story; scenes I do hope will give you the creeps since I certainly got them when I was writing.
I had a ton of fun writing this book. Its both sexy and creepy, and I hope that if you decide to purchase this book you enjoy it. Plus, I dare you not to fall in love with Kacey or Tyler, or both of them. ;-P

Creak
(An erotic thriller)
BLURB:
"What happens in Silver Creek, stays in Silver Creek."
After spending the summer as a recluse due to a bad
break-up, Nicole Saunders agrees to go to The Heat Wave Festival with her best
friends, Kacey and Tyler.
Along with three other friends they plan to take a short-cut through the
small town of Silver Creek; the last thing any of them expected was to become
lost and end up pulling in to a motel for the night.
The Creek Motel is isolated and the last place Nicole wants to be,
especially after meeting the glacial owner, but her discomfort is soon forgot
as she finally gives in to her feelings and asks Kacey and Tyler to spend the
night with her.
A decision she quickly regrets when she discovers that their friend has
mysteriously disappeared from her locked room in the middle of the night. Worried,
Nicole presumes the worst, but quickly discovers that Jayne's disappearance is
more disturbing than any of them could have guessed.

p.m.
We
had lost the sun about two hours ago, the helpful lights of the other cars and
the freeway about an hour after that.
We
had all agreed to cut through the small town of Silver Creek in order to knock
an hour off our journey—a decision I was beginning to regret.
My
face had been practically glued to the window for the last half an hour as I
tried to figure out where the night sky ended and the ground began. It was
pitch black out there. Not the kind of night painted in a mixture of dark hues
with the added color jumping out once in a while. This was total and complete
darkness, the type that seemed to move with us. The half moon and clear blanket
of stars above had become our only indication that we hadn't just driven into a
tunnel with no end.
The
headlights of Kacey's green camper van continued to guide us along the narrow
road and further toward Silver Creek, which I still wasn't sure if we had
arrived in or not.
In
the dim orange glow of the overhead light, I turned to look at Kacey. The blood
had drained from his knuckles due to the grip he had on the steering wheel, and
his plump lips were set in a firm line. He was pissed. I would even say livid.
Which meant only one thing, we had gotten lost.
"Kay?"
I said softly. "You might as well pull over."
His
eyes narrowed to slits. His focus stuck to the ongoing road. "No."
"It’s
pitch black. There are no lights anywhere. No sign of life. Pull over, and
let's all spend the night in the van. We can set off early tomorrow, when we
can actually see, and figure out where the hell we are exactly."
He
may have been a mechanic, but puncturing a tire or crashing into a tree was the
last thing any of us needed.
"There's
a Motel."
I
looked at the surrounding darkness with wide eyes. "I don't see one."
He
turned the GPS we had attached to the dashboard toward me, and pointed at a
small blue square. "It should be here somewhere."
I
stared at the small screen and then back out the front window. Who the hell would put a motel out here?
Then again, I suppose if it’s a small trade town, and people did cut through
like we’re doing….
"There's the fucker." Kacey declared
and put his foot on the gas.
The
van jolted as we went over a bump in the road, and a groan came from the back.
"What the hell, Kay?" I turned to see Tyler rubbing the back of his
head, and looking at us through hooded lids. "Are we there yet?"
I
shook my head. "We're lost."
"We're
not lost." Kacey stated sharply.
"I came down the right route. It's just fucking taking forever because I
have to go at a tortoise pace because some stupid asshole didn't think about
putting up lights on this shitty back road."
Tyler
yawned. "So, we're lost?"
Kacey
growled. "We'll stop here and set off in the morning."
I
looked back out at the road and watched the speck of light that had suddenly
emerged from nowhere, growing bigger and bigger, and finally forming in to a
readable size and shape.
The tall sign to the "Creek Motel" flickered in
the on-going darkness. The faulty light to the isolated establishment appeared to
be the only indication that actual people lived in the area. After an hour of
nothing but darkness, the sight caused a pop of relief to tickle my stomach.
Kacey
slowed and turned the van in to the small parking lot.
Apart
from the two cars sitting along the front of the L-shaped building, the only
other sign that the motel operated came from the dull light seeping through the curtains of a few rooms. The van filled
with soft groans as Tyler woke up the others and Kacey maneuvered into a free space.
"Are
you kidding me?" Disgust leaked in to Jayne's sleep-filled voice.
Kacey
scrubbed his hands down his face. "What did you expect, the Hilton?"
"I
expected to be in a packed parking lot with tons of people, and lights and loud
music." She yawned. "Where are we?"
He
cut the engine, and slid out of his seatbelt. "We're stopping here for the
night."
"Where
is here?"
"We're
in Silver Creek."
"Yeah,
which is just another name for we're in
the middle of fucking nowhere."
Kacey
twisted in his seat. "Look, it's too dark. So we're stopping here. We'll
set off in the morning and be at the festival in no time. Deal with it."
Dry
laughter scraped her throat. "You're so grumpy. Jesus. It's not my fault
we had to set off at half past five. We should have set off tomorrow morning."
Kacey
popped his jaw, and slid a look at me. "I'll go get us signed in, shall
I?"
"I'll
come with you." I pushed the door open, and climbed out of the van.
I
pulled my jacket tightly around me as we made our way across the rough gravel
ground toward the entrance. In the silence, I could hear each small gust of
wind whipping around the solitary building.
I
followed Kacey through the open doorway in to the dingy, snug reception, which
had bare brick walls with old photographs lining them and a heavily worn and
scratched wooden floor. Kacey hit the small brass bell sitting on the reception
desk and we both stood looking at the closed office door.
