I Got A Shout Out! (grins)
Awww…. A. M. Griffin gave me a shout out today.
I’m all misty-eyed. This makes me feel so good!
http://a-creative-mind.com/2016/03/16/interview-with-a-m-griffin/
Here’s a snippet…
“But as for the first writer who reached out to me and gave me some much needed advice and help me out, that would be the lovely Cynthia Sax. She had the same publisher as me and out of nowhere she emailed me. It felt like someone had thrown me a lifeline in the middle of a storm and I took it and held on tight. Authors are a great group of people and I’m lucky enough to have found friends in them.”

Crash And Burn
Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.
Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.
Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.
Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.
Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.
Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.
When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?

What I’ve Learned As A Writer
I’m at the Cabal Of Hotness today. I’ve written a letter to my younger self, talking about what I would have done differently. I’m not normally someone who looks backward but I thought this might help newer writers. Anything I can do to help newer writers, I’m game for! (grins)

Interview With A.M. Griffin, Lea Barrymire, Cara Carnes, and Cassandra Carr
I sat down (virtually) for a short interview with A.M. Griffin, Lea Barrymire, Cara Carnes, and Cassandra Carr. These four talented writers have contributed sexy humorous stories to Fondled and Gobbled: Back For More, an anthology from Ellora’s Cave.
Cynthia Sax: Where did you get the idea for your story?
Lea Barrymire: I love sci-fi and futuristic stories, but as with any sub-genre there seems to be over-exaggerations galore. I took on the idea of a cyborg/android becoming an emotional creature. I took it to the extreme but it was well worth it.
Cynthia Sax: What do you love about writing in your romance sub-genre?
Lea Barrymire: I’m a paranormal/sci-fi writer (mostly). I find writing shifters, aliens and other supernatural beings allows me to stretch my mind in any direction I want to go. A demon with a chocolate fetish? Sure, why not. Being able to expand beyond the everyday is so much fun!
Cynthia Sax: What excites you about your story?
Cara Carnes: One theme I’ve always chuckled over I see rather prevalently in erotic romance (particularly paranormals) are heroes with overly large appendages. It always makes me wonder what would happen if the opposite were true, so this story gave me the creative license to explore that. 🙂
Cynthia Sax: Why does your story start where it does?
Cara Carnes: Persiphone has been devoting a great deal of her precious time to learning her man’s wants, desires and needs. The scene begins on the most important day of his life–the Meaty Man contest. The first scene sets to tone to show exactly how devoted she is to her man.
Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from your story and why?
Cassandra Carr: This one needs a little bit of set-up. My favorite line is the second line. I think you’ll figure out why:
Then Cole stiffened and suddenly that same white, creamy stuff shot out of his cock, hitting Declan in the face.
“Aggh! My eye! My eye!” Declan screamed. “It burns!”
Cynthia Sax: Where is your story set?
Cassandra Carr: My story is set in a faraway land, with warriors who have taken human forms in order to invade Earth. The two main characters (both men) are in a ship, in invisible mode, waiting for the order to attack. I’m not sure I’d call the setting exciting or sexy, but it was certainly necessary to the story.
Cynthia Sax: How does your story start?
A.M. Griffin: My story starts with the heroine, Destiny, walking into “The Shrine”. I think it was important to start the story there because she is able to explain her journey as to why she’s in New Orleans and why she is going to “The Shrine” and why it is so important to her.
A bit from the first scene:
I hesitate briefly outside the building I’ve visited almost every night for the past year. I don’t know why I hesitate. This is something I want and have wanted for so long now.
With a firm hand I push open the doors leading into the bar and walk beneath the sign that reads, “Welcome to The Shrine” and my breath hitches.
My jaw tightens and hands clench as the house heavy metal band starts up another round of ear screeching music. My first impulse is to storm across the room and yank all the plugs from the speakers, but instead I ignore them and make my way to one of the empty seats at the bar.
Settling in, I order my usual and use my enhanced vision to scan the bar.
Shifter bar, I correct myself.
The leopard shifter bar, owned by the Leporidae family or Leporidae pack, as I’ve begun to call them.
They really aren’t trying to hide their shifter species with a last name like Leporidae.
I can’t help but giggle, all but forgetting the noise coming from the stage.
Cynthia Sax: Where is your story set?
A.M. Griffin: My story is set in New Orleans. If you’re going to do any reputable shifter story it must be set in New Orleans. Just kidding. It’s set in a bar “The Shrine” which is home for a family of shifters. My spoof was a take on one of my favorite series and follows the setting somewhat.
Thank you ladies for joining us today!

Interview With A. M. Griffin
I sat down (virtually) with A. M. Griffin for a short interview. A. M. Griffin writes hot SciFi romances for Ellora’s Cave and her latest release is Dangerously Yours, the sequel to Dangerously Mine.
Cynthia Sax: What do you find most exciting about Dangerously Yours?
A. M. Griffin: I like seeing the progression from one story to another. I hate seeing a really good story end. That’s why I love series! For me, it feels like the first story didn’t end. I also love Sa’Mya and Kane. Both of these characters have a lot of growing up to do. It was important for me to redeem Sa’Mya from Dangerously Mine and in doing so, let the readers know and love her like I do. I couldn’t pair Sa’Mya with just anyone, she needed someone just as head strong and stubborn as she is. I do believe they make one great couple.
Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from Dangerously Yours?
A. M. Griffin: He thumbed toward his bed. “What is that and why is it in my bed?”
I love this quote because it personifies how Kane feels about aliens in a nutshell. Although Sa’Mya is very humanoid looking, Kane still refers to her as an “it”. Sa’Mya can understand Kane, unbeknownst to him at the time, and believe me, she isn’t too happy with hearing him refer to her as an “it”.
Cynthia Sax: What creates conflict between Kane and Sa’Mya?
A. M. Griffin: The major conflict which drives Dangerously Yours is that Kane hates all things alien. He blames aliens for his wife’s death and aliens at large for not stepping in to help Earth during the hostile invasion. Even though he’s attracted to Sa’Mya, he fights the feeling. Sa’Mya on the other hand, has no problem with her attraction to Kane. Luckily for her, Kane can’t resist her for long, especially since he’s got her trapped in his cabin.
Cynthia Sax: Will you be writing more stories in the Loving Dangerously series?
A. M. Griffin: Dangerously Yours is the second book in the Loving Dangerously Series. The first book in the series is Dangerously Mine, the third (on the way) is Dangerously Hers which tells Jess and Rasha’s story, the fourth is Dangerously His tells JB and Saia’s story and the fifth Dangerously Forever tells Allysan and Kiehle’s story. Readers can visit my website under the “Works in Progress” page to track where I am with story completions!
Cynthia Sax: What one piece of advice would you give new writers?
A. M. Griffin: Believe in yourself! I could give a ton of advice such as finding great critique partners, take writing classes, join author groups…etc, but all that won’t do a thing if you don’t believe in yourself first.
Thank you, A. M. Griffin, for joining us today!

*****************************************************************************
The steamy standalone sequel to Dangerously Mine.
Kane Epps divides his life into two distinct parts—before the alien invasion and after. Before the invasion, he had a pregnant wife and a high-powered job. After the invasion, he’s left with only himself and his hatred for all things alien. He channels his bitterness by captaining a vessel of renegade humans—space pirates who don’t think twice about taking what they need.
Princess Sa’Mya is on the run. She and a few trusted advisers fled her home planet, only to be captured by the sexy, dangerous Captain Epps. He claims to hate aliens but can’t seem to resist touching her or kissing her…everywhere. As Kane introduces Sa’Mya to ever-increasing, unimaginable realms of pleasure, the princess becomes determined to earn his trust. She’s used to getting what she wants. And this time, what she wants is Kane Epps.
Inside Scoop: This space-opera romance contains male/male sex scenes, girl-on-girl action, group sex and some good old-fashioned voyeurism.
