Henley’s Valentine’s Day Plans For Kat

By Cynthia Sax on February 13, 2014

Tasty Read’s interviewed me today!

http://atastyread.blogspot.ca/2014/02/tvbt-flashes-of-me-cynthiasax.html

I’m sharing Henley’s plans for Valentine’s Day

ATR: Valentines Day is tomorrow, what are Henley and Katalina’s plans for the evening?

Cynthia: Shhh… (whispers) Don’t tell Kat but Henley is planning to take her to an amusement park. He’s determined to win her a giant plush unicorn. Kat will be wearing a darling pink suit from one of her beloved designers. Pink IS her favorite color. She’ll also be sporting completely impractical shoes which means Henley will likely end up carrying her everywhere. Luckily he’s big and strong, well able to manage this sexy task.

Here is a tidbit of what ATR has to say about Flashes Of Me

“As far as Henley goes…I am 100% #TeamHenley ALL THE WAY! Not that this is a romance with a love triangle, I am just all about this Beast of a man…and I love that Kat knows all the ways to break down his walls in such a short amount of time. These two are true soul mates, and you see that from the first meeting.”

Henley, the head of cyber security at Blaine Technologies, is a man no one crosses. He watches employees constantly using his network of cameras and enforces his rules by any means possible. Rumors of his violent past, his scarred hands and huge size have resulted in him being feared by everyone… almost everyone.

Katalina, the new intern, worries about the revelation of her most painful secret much more than she fears her sexy boss’s wrath. She sees the loneliness in his dark eyes, feels the gentleness in his marred fingers, tastes the need in his kisses, and she knows he watches her. His silly rules about not stripping for the cameras and no sex at the office are destined to be broken.

Kat likes to be watched. Henley can’t look away. Will this beauty be able to tame her beastly boss?

Things Parents Say

By Cynthia Sax on February 11, 2014

I’m talking about the crazy things parents say at Tina Donahue’s online home

http://www.tinadonahue.com/cynthia-sax-offers-a-sneak-peek-into-flashes-of-me/

Here’s a tidbit

“Kat quotes the wise things her father has said. I’m certain he’s said plenty of…ummm…unusual things also. Every parent has and usually these are the things children remember.

My dear wonderful mom always tells me “Be careful what you wish for.” She has a reason to caution me about careless wishes. When she was a young girl, she told her cousin that she wanted six children when she grew up and they were to be boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl. My mom has six children—boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl (I’m the eldest girl).”

Henley, the head of cyber security at Blaine Technologies, is a man no one crosses. He watches employees constantly using his network of cameras and enforces his rules by any means possible. Rumors of his violent past, his scarred hands and huge size have resulted in him being feared by everyone… almost everyone.

Katalina, the new intern, worries about the revelation of her most painful secret much more than she fears her sexy boss’s wrath. She sees the loneliness in his dark eyes, feels the gentleness in his marred fingers, tastes the need in his kisses, and she knows he watches her. His silly rules about not stripping for the cameras and no sex at the office are destined to be broken.

Talking Secrets With Kate Hill

By Cynthia Sax on February 11, 2014

I’m talking about secrets today on Kate Hill’s Blog.

http://kate-hill.com/blog/?p=3507

Here’s a tidbit

I’m great at keeping other people’s secrets (as long as they tell me it is a secret). Usually when a friend tells me something is a secret, I’ll do my best to completely forget she ever told me about it. I have a terrible memory so forgetting is easy.

Interviewed By Gabrielle Holly

By Cynthia Sax on February 10, 2014

Gabrielle Holly interviewed me!

http://gabrielleholly.blogspot.ca/2014/02/getting-personal-with-author-cynthia-sax.html

Here’s the first question (and it gets crazier from there – grins)

What’s the best part of being a writer?

The Nutella consumption. Hands down. (grins) Cynthia Sax runs on Nutella. Seriously though, I stay home in my pajamas and make up sh*t for a living. Looking at hot, half-naked men is considered research. Romance readers are the best readers in the world, believing in hope, love, and optimism. What is NOT to like?

It’s his job to watch everyone, to keep them safe, to ensure they follow the rules. There are rumors connected to him about dead bodies and disappearing employees. Are they true? Maybe. Maybe not. But the rumors alone are enough to frighten employees.”

Interview With Ayla Ruse

By Cynthia Sax on February 7, 2014

I sat down (virtually) with Ayla Ruse for a short interview. Ayla Ruse writes hot erotic romances and her latest release is Raspberries and Wine, a sexy Contemporary with BDSM elements.

Cynthia Sax: What excites you about Raspberries and Wine??

Ayla Ruse: I like that this story goes against the popular stereotype of the older woman being the experienced seductress to the younger man. Not every older woman has it “all together” when it comes to sexual experience. I like that Stacy thinks she should be this way, wants to be this way, but can’t quite reach that goal. I don’t want her to live a ho-hum life. She deserves to have a rich, fulfilling sexual side. All it takes is the right man to help her see, trust and pull out her inner strength and desires.

Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from Raspberries and Wine?

Ayla Ruse: Graham tells Stacy, “Turn around.” As words by themselves, it’s dull. But where it comes in the story is belly-clenching (at least, to me). Before this we see Stacy wanting Graham but not sure how to approach him. We see her warring internally—should she seduce him or ask him to leave? When her struggle is at its end point, we see the change in Graham. He knows when it’s time to take control, and we see this (as does Stacy, even if she doesn’t realize the full implication yet) in this one line.

Cynthia Sax: Where did you get the idea for Raspberries and Wine?

Ayla Ruse: Whenever I’m developing an idea for a new story, I usually begin with conventional thought, then try to find a twist. How to make the norm a little different. The call for the Paramour collection was for an older woman/younger man relationship. Most people typically see the older woman seducing the younger man. But what if the dynamics are different? What happens then, and more importantly, why? From this seed of an idea came Raspberries and Wine.

Cynthia Sax: How does Raspberries and Wine start?

Ayla Ruse: Raspberries and Wine begins with the heroine, Stacy, getting ready to open the door to her Valentine’s Day date. She’s expecting an old high school crush. When she opens the door to his handsome son, she experiences a vast array of emotions: disappointment, attraction, and nervousness, to name a few. I started at this particular point because I want the reader to also experience these emotions and see that as the story progresses, Stacy is not as in control as she projects. This, in turn, allows both Stacy and the reader see and understand the underlying strength in Graham, and how important this affects their relationship.

Thank you, Ayla Ruse, for joining us today!

Ayla Ruse’s Website: http://www.aylaruse.com

*****************************************************************************

When Stacy opens her door on Valentine’s Day, it’s not to the man she expected, but to the man who’ll give her what she needs.

It’s Valentine’s day and newly liberated divorcee Stacy Dalton has a plan: seduce her former classmate and end the post-divorce intimacy drought. She’s cooked a meal, she’s dressed to the nines, and she is crossing her fingers that tonight she will not go to bed alone. There is a slight hiccup in the plan when it’s not her former classmate that shows up with an easy smile and a hungry look–but his drop-dead gorgeous son.

Twenty-nine year old Graham Rosen has always been attracted to older women. So making last-minute plans to take out his father’s cancelled date seems an effortless and enjoyable task–especially when he sees the sable-haired beauty who opens the door. Unfortunately, Stacy seems hung up on their age. Even after giving in to Graham’s erotic attentions, the beautiful cook refuses to acknowledge any possible future to their relationship.

Some women need a strong man–with an even stronger hand. Graham is no mere boy to shy away from a challenge and he is more than willing to show Stacy he’s serious about his desire for her beyond just one lustful night. But will his erotic discipline succeed in dissolving Stacy’s hesitations and bring her closer to him? Or will it scare her away?

Reader Advisory: This story involves a submissive older woman, a Dominant younger man, public foreplay, delicious food, and intense, meaningful spankings.

Breaking All The Rules

By Cynthia Sax on February 6, 2014

I’m at Book Reviews & More today, talking about breaking rules.

http://www.bookreviewsandmorebykathy.com/2014/02/04/3758/

Here’s a tidbit

Kat, the perky blonde heroine of Flashes Of Me, seems like an unlikely rebel. She’s a bubbly happy person, generous with her smiles and her hugs, unwilling to upset anyone. However, there’s one issue she’s quite stubborn on. She won’t wear black.

Kat promised her dear dad that she wouldn’t wear black. Her sunny yellow suits or hot pink dresses make her executive parent happy. The problem is…Blaine Technologies, the company she has landed an intern position at, has a strict dress code. They prefer that employees wear black suits.

Every day, she wears a different color to work. Every day, someone mentions the dress code. Camille, her buddy, thinks she’ll eventually be fired. But this is one rule that Kat insists upon breaking.

Henley, the head of cyber security at Blaine Technologies, is a man no one crosses. He watches employees constantly using his network of cameras and enforces his rules by any means possible. Rumors of his violent past, his scarred hands and huge size have resulted in him being feared by everyone… almost everyone.

Katalina, the new intern, worries about the revelation of her most painful secret much more than she fears her sexy boss’s wrath. She sees the loneliness in his dark eyes, feels the gentleness in his marred fingers, tastes the need in his kisses, and she knows he watches her. His silly rules about not stripping for the cameras and no sex at the office are destined to be broken.

Kat likes to be watched. Henley can’t look away. Will this beauty be able to tame her beastly boss?

Secrets From Flashes Of Me

By Cynthia Sax on February 5, 2014

I LOVE secrets. I’m great at keeping other people’s secrets because I have a terrible memory. Friends know they can tell me their deepest, darkest thoughts and I’ll forget these thoughts the next day.

I also have a wonderful imagination so I’m never too sure whether I’ve imagined a friend’s secret or it truly exists. To play it safe, I assume the secret is a figment of my imagination. (I never claimed to be sane – grins)

My characters ALWAYS have secrets. Usually these secrets hamper their ability to have fulfilling and lasting relationships. Some characters, such as Gabriel Blaine from The Seen Trilogy (He Watches Me, He Touches Me, He Claims Me), never tell me their secrets. Ever. That’s extremely frustrating. When readers email and ask me, I have to tell them he continues to dodge questions about his past.

Thankfully, Kat and Henley, the heroine and hero of Flashes Of Me, are more forthcoming. Henley shares his secrets first. He knows this bravery is necessary to earn Kat’s trust (and Henley is one of the bravest, strongest heroes I’ve ever written). Kat doesn’t confide in Henley and in us until the end of the story. At the beginning, she can’t even think about her secret, can’t form that thought in her mind.

Henley, the head of cyber security at Blaine Technologies, is a man no one crosses. He watches employees constantly using his network of cameras and enforces his rules by any means possible. Rumors of his violent past, his scarred hands and huge size have resulted in him being feared by everyone… almost everyone.

Katalina, the new intern, worries about the revelation of her most painful secret much more than she fears her sexy boss’s wrath.
