Bio:

After six years of freelance graphic design work – designing CD covers, book covers, pamphlets, banners

and editing videos – Melody Simmons decided to start a website dedicated to her passion - ebook covers.

Ebookindiecovers has been running since June 2012 and since this is a fairly new site, the prices are very

low for the high quality offered. As the name of the website indicates – the site is meant to especially cater

for independent authors. She wants all Indie authors to be able to have the same quality book covers that

traditional publishers have, or even better!

Introduction:

The focus is on ebook covers but Melody also offers a few other services to ensure all needs are covered:

matching paperback covers - especially for those publishing through Createspace - are available. Facebook

banners, 3-D book images and book trailers are also in her repertoire. She does digital manipulation with

stock images. Almost all genres are included: romance, erotica, fantasy, SciFi, mystery, thriller, YA, literary

fiction, children’s and non-fiction. There are several well-stocked premade cover galleries at her website,

and custom covers are designed for very reasonable prices.

Testimonials:

“Melody Simmons brought my covers to life with her unique and competitive designs. She was fast,

responsive, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!”

- PJ Sharon, YA Author

I have used Melody’s services for all my ebook and paperback book covers. Her ability to

capture the mood of the characters and settings has positively affected the sales of my books. She

is fast, honest, and dependable. She often makes suggestions, gives me examples of the covers

based on my ideas, and answers any questions I have in a timely manner. I would highly

recommend using her services for your publishing needs.

Blurb:
One night of controlled passion is all she allows.
Rebecca Ann Majors fled the temptation of a ménage once, but now the two sexy men starring in her wildest fantasy are back and demanding her complete surrender for the weekend. Emboldened by lust, she succumbs to her desire and learns ecstasy has a price.
They demand everything she has and more.

Joe Davenport and Dillan Morrisey were used to handling any situation—including the sexy siren who’d sashayed out of their lives two years ago. This time she’ll quench their lust even if it means they have to share her.

When Sunday morning dawns the three must decide if one weekend was enough to sate the passion they shared.

Enjoy the author's interview of her character Rebecca!

Cara: Thanks for sitting down with me and talking about the book and, more importantly, the guys.

Rebecca: *shifts in her chair and tugs on her blouse*. Thanks for writing it for us. You certainly went into a lot more intimate detail than I expected. I don’t remember telling you half of that stuff. It’s rather mortifying to know your readers will know what we… *she clears her throat* I can see I have to discuss boundaries with a couple of men in my life.

Cara: What can I say? The guys had a lot of input in that regard.

Rebecca: Clearly. Neither of them have a filter in their heads apparently. Just because we engage in public relations doesn’t mean we have to be so brazen about sharing it with everyone.

Cara: Can you tell us a little bit about the relationship between you and your brother? I know when I first heard of how you met Dillan and Joe it surprised me most to see that you’d agree to take your brother’s friends in like that.

Rebecca: Family does what must be done for family. Andy would do whatever I needed without question. I’m not about to shirk my sisterly duties. *Rebecca shrugs* What can I say? My brother is a geek deep down. Most of his friends are harmless gamers.

Cara: But not Dillan and Joe. What does he think about the relationship you have with the two of them?

Rebecca: They aren’t into the same games as Andy’s other friends. *shakes her head and a tinge of pink appears in her cheeks* Andy was pretty surprised when they told him. But he loves me and he likes them.

Cara:  You were pretty dead set against relationships before Dillan and Joe came along. What did they do that changed your mind?

Rebecca: *sighs* They made me feel beautiful. Treasured. When I’m around them, I never have any hesitation in sharing what I want or feel. My desires matter. I matter.

Cara:  It sounds as though we all need a Joe and Dillan in our lives.

Rebecca: Sorry, I don’t share. It’s been hard enough getting quiet time with them. They’re still working at whatever the hell they do that’s top secret. They’re resettling here in Austin but it’s going to take some time to get them situated into less risky and secretive work. I have to admit I’ll sleep a lot better when they’re here every night where they belong.

Cara: How do the sleeping arrangements work anyway? I’m sure some readers are curious.

Rebecca: I have a big bed. They guys aren’t shy. They’ve been through a lot together so sharing a bed with me isn’t a problem for them. Thank God. I’d hate to have to choose between them each night.

Cara: So I heard you have a nickname from your childhood years they guys use with you sometimes?

Rebecca: *gasps* Do. Not. Say. It.

Cara: *chuckles* You don’t like Raggedy Ann?

 
Rebecca: *closes her eyes and takes a deep breath* If you had a brother named Andy and your middle name is Ann, you wouldn’t appreciate it very much either. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some men to talk to about over sharing.
Excerpt:

She flopped out of bed in a display of anger no one could see. Assuming they were still stuck on the mile-long stretch of hotels by the airport she’d have a good forty minutes to find pillows, blankets and sheets. The sofa supposedly made into a bed, but she doubted it was designed for normal humans to find comfortable.
Not. Her. Problem.
“I hope they don’t mind sharing a queen-sized foldout.”
Her brother chuckled. “They’ve shared smaller.”
Great. Now she’d have images of the two geeks mugging down because they were probably gay. “They here for the parade then?”
“What?” Her brother paused for a moment and then busted out with a fit of laughter. “They aren’t gay, sis.”
“Yeah. Sure.”
“You’ll see soon enough. But listen, seriously, I owe you big time for this.”
There he went getting all serious and shit just when she’d spiked her pissed meter to a good level. She padded into the living room and trudged to the small hallway closet.
“Just let me know if they give you a hard time and I’ll kick their asses. Somehow.”
“I think I can handle a couple of geeks.” He chuckled and a sense of unease settled into the back of her brain, waiting for the sleepy haze to clear. Something about that sound made her question her assumptions. Then his last word thundered through her. Somehow.
“Wait. Who’s coming over here, Andy? I know most of your friends. There aren’t that many you couldn’t knock six ways to Sunday.”
Two specific names rammed her defenses and shattered her into a puddle of wanton hope. Dear God, if they showed up here she’d jump them. Heaven help them both because she’d walked away from them once a couple of years ago.
A one-night stand with her brother’s friends wasn’t a good idea, and she never allowed a man more time with her than that. She’d learned her lesson a couple of times over. Give a man your heart and he’ll fillet it while you watch. Then leave you a dry husk of what you were.
Not that she was bitter. Or jaded.
Okay, she was both but she had good reason to be cautious and those two men had been way too tempting and determined.
They’d been drunk. The offer had become her most frequented sex dream. The what if I’d become the innocent in their sin sandwich?
She jumped when the doorbell sounded.
“That’s probably Joe and Dillan.”
Oh freaking mother of all that was screwed up. It was them.

Blurb:
Rella Cinder was born to the submissive race on her planet and has finally reached the age of maturity. She has hated her nature since birth and has fought her submissiveness. As the youngest of four sisters, she’s watched the others go off and look for mates. This time she’s forced to comply with the government’s edicts, which includes attending the Unity Ball and taking a mate from the warrior species. What she doesn’t know is that she has already caught the eye of a warrior before stepping foot into the Ball.

Warrior Sabar T'Brun is ready to take a mate but doesn’t want a weak female. He sees what he craves in the willful Rella during her Initiation Ceremony. Her sweet submission and soft cries of passion are exactly what he wants in a mate.

Can they find each other before the Unity Ball ends? Or will someone else claim her?

Excerpt - Rated R

“You taste so sinfully sensual, my little Rella. Let’s continue. How did my hand on you feel?”

He kept asking questions she didn’t want to answer. She huffed and then tried to cover up her irritation before he saw it. He might approve of her answers, but that didn’t mean he’d allow her to be disrespectful. She schooled her face to the blank mask she always wore and answered him. “It felt good, Master Sabar.”

He shook his head. “Not good enough. I want to know what your body felt like. What did you want when I pulled my hand away?”

“I didn’t want you to stop. I can still feel the fire your touch created,” she answered grudgingly.

“That’s the type of answer I want. Thank you. I didn’t want to stop either, but if I didn’t, you’d be naked and spread out under me.” He growled his words against her temple just before kissing her hair.

Those words sparked a need so deeply in her that she shied away from the intensity. Somehow she’d ignored the possibility that they could have sex. The thought of having this male above her, invading her body and space should have terrified her, but it did nothing but stoke the already molten puddle of heat in her belly. A gush of warmth flooded her pussy. She wiggled on his lap and gasped when she felt the beads of her belt move against her clit. She’d forgotten about them, and the reminder that she was mostly naked caused another flood of moist heat to coat her cunt.

“Gods, I can feel your honey coating my leg. You like the idea of my fucking you?”

She gasped at the raunchy term but couldn’t stop herself from nodding. Yes, she absolutely liked the idea. She didn’t know exactly what she wanted him to do, but she wanted something more. Her training had included some instruction in sexual behavior. She knew what sex was, what the positions were for mating, understood what some males enjoyed. Those lessons didn’t translate well into real life. No one had explained how her body would mutiny and desire a man more than her brain did.

“For your reward I think you need to straddle my legs.” His voice dragged her from her introspection. With a show of muscular strength he picked her up by her waist, turned her to face him and placed her gently over his legs. Her arms were still bound behind her back and the new position took more movement away from her as he widened his knees until her legs were opened. A glance down showed that her shaved nether region was completely open, visibly on display. A rush of warm wetness between her pussy lips made her blush.

“Hmm, you like being open to me, don’t you? This is an amazing view and I’m not sure I will ever want to see you clothed. I’m going to touch you and kiss you as your reward. You can’t stop me. Don’t struggle.” He leaned forward and whispered the last few words, warm breath feathering over her cheek.

About Lea Barrymire

Lea lives in Western New York with her hubby, three children, and miscellaneous critters. Before the rugrats, she lived a life of adventure, following her husband all over Europe with the US military. She’s slept in a car outside Paris, drove six hours just to see tulips in the Netherlands, and knocked ash from her shoes at Pompeii. Now she spends her time in life’s adventures at soccer games, PTA meetings and school plays.

Lea has loved reading from a very young age, spending many sleepless nights devouring books. Science fiction and paranormal were her favorite genres to read as a teenager, and that love bled into her adult life. She started writing during a bout of insomnia, to fill time, and found it filled a creative void. Now she communes regularly with the characters in her head and tries not to laugh out loud when they say something funny.

When Lea isn’t reading, writing or corralling kids, she enjoys watching movies and sciencey shows, or just kicking back and listening to some music.

A Taste of London By: Lucy Felthouse

Penning Male Fantasies by Lucy Felthouse

When I saw that Ellora's Cave had launched a range of books aimed specifically at men, I jumped at the chance of writing for it. Previously, I'd written books aimed at men, as well as many stories that were pure erotica, rather than erotic romance. EC For Men doesn't say there can't be any romance, just that the stories should be written from the male perspective and should focus on male fantasy.

I brainstormed for a while before coming up with something. But what I did come up with gave me the basis for an entire series, not just one book, so I was rather pleased. When I was writing book one, A Taste of London, I had to keep in mind what men would act like and say, as well as what kind of sexual fantasies go through their minds. It wasn't easy, but it was a great deal of fun. When my character got laid for the third time in a day I asked myself if it was realistic—then I remembered something. A) it's fiction and B) it's aimed at men and their fantasies, and many men would like to have sex thirty times a day, never mind three C) it's not completely impossible for someone to have sex with three different people in a day. Especially if they look like my lead character, Ryan. He's hot.

So it stayed as it was, and I sent Ryan Stonebridge on a whirlwind sexual adventure on London, before plonking him on a Eurostar to Paris. Which is where his kinky adventures will continue. I'm writing the second book as we speak, so watch this space...

*****

Ryan Stonebridge and his friend Kristian Hurst are heading off on the trip of a lifetime. They’re spending their gap year traveling the world and expect lots of sun, sights and sex. The guys have a couple of days in the English capital before catching the Eurostar to Paris. Unfortunately, a family emergency means that Kristian has to head back home for a while, leaving Ryan to continue the trip alone.

Luckily for Ryan, he’s an attractive guy and there is no shortage of gorgeous women available to help take his mind off Kristian’s family drama.
