Interview With Ashley Ladd
I sat down (virtually) with Ashley Ladd for a short interview. Today is the release day for Ashley Ladd’s Her Men, a Contemporary Erotic MFM menage.
Cynthia Sax: What makes Tim and James so sexy?
Ashley Ladd: They’re strong—physically, mentally, spiritually. Mainly, they deeply love their woman and would do anything to win her and keep her safe and happy.
Cynthia Sax: What do you find exciting about Her Men?
Ashley Ladd: In “Her Men” Julie has dreamed about and longed for Timmy and James for twenty years. She finally gets her chance to be with them not just for a one-night stand, but possibly forever.
Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from Her Men?
Ashley Ladd: “You too. Is that a sign?”
She couldn’t help but chuckle. Since when did Tim believe in signs? “A sign?”…
“Your nipples are puckering through your suit. I’d call that a sign.”
I think this is cute and funny in a sexy sort of way. Julie and Timmy are engaging in a bantering verbal foreplay when they first meet after twenty years of being apart. Julie has been sunbathing on the Biloxi Beach, and he finds her in her dream. She’s wet and sandy and half-dressed during their reunion and so she’s feeling very insecure, then he mentions her physical reaction to him. She wants to die inside all the while she’s (obviously) turned on.
Cynthia Sax: Where did you get the idea for Her Men?
Ashley Ladd: This is the marriage of a couple ideas.
First I can never decide who I like better—Captain Jack Sparrow or Will Turner in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’—so it’d be awesome if I could have both. This is fantasy, so why not?
Secondly, there is a man I’ve never forgotten, that I dream and daydream about often. I keep wondering what if I were to meet him again. What would happen? Does he remember me? If he remembers me, does he think of me fondly? Often? Does he miss me? Does he dream about me like I dream about him? Erotically? Romantically? If we both found ourselves single at the same time, could we, would we get back together?
Thank you, Ashley Ladd, for joining us today!

It turns out both men came just to see her again and neither is happy about the other’s presence. They fight over her, confusing her more than ever. It takes a hot ménage…or two…for her heart to decide which one she’s in love with.

Interview With Lexi Post
I sat down (virtually) with Lexi Post for a short interview. Lexi Post’s latest release is Cruise into Eden, a SciFi Erotic Romance set on a cruise ship. Woot!!! The dear wonderful hubby and I LOVE cruising!
Cynthia Sax: What excites you about Cruise into Eden?
Lexi Post: What excites me the most about this story is the social constructs of the planet Eden These are only touched upon in this book, but from what is included, the reader can see this is a very different planet. For example, to wear clothes on Eden is to be rude. All women must have at least two husbands. All criminals are banished outside the city walls to live or die on their own. And in order for Eden men to receive portal chips, they must prove themselves morally worthy. Then there are other planet-wide rules that are specific to choosing, interacting and bonding with women. These were primarily written by an Earth woman who visited Eden back in the 19th Century. Her name was Emily Dickinson.
Cynthia Sax: Where did you get the idea for Cruise into Eden?
Lexi Post: I got the idea for this story from an Emily Dickinson poem called “Wild Nights! Wild Nights!” In some ways, this is not unique for me since I write erotic romance inspired by classic literature; however, I usually choose short stories and create a whole new modern day story that generally runs about 300 pages. One evening over drinks, my former editor challenged me to write short. When I told my agent this, she suggested I use a poem because I had yet to write a short romance. The poem, “Wild Nights! Wild Nights!” stood out from thousands of Dickinson poems because its subject matter is so passionate as opposed to what the poet is best known for which is all aspects of death. Since I like putting opposites together, such as classic literature and erotic romance, when I read the poem I just knew that Eden had to be another planet and Emily Dickinson, the recluse, must have visited it. And so not only was a novella born, but a whole series.
Cynthia Sax: Where is Cruise into Eden set?
Lexi Post: I set the story on a nude Caribbean cruise. This was necessary. Since Edenists are used to being naked, I had to bring them somewhere where the heroine would expect them to be so, otherwise she might run screaming in the opposite direction. That meant I had to find a way to get my heroine, who had never even thought of being nude in front of other people, onto this cruise. Luckily, these cruises aren’t actually called “nude” cruises. They are called “clothing optional” cruises which means that it was perfectly understandable for Erin to board the ship expecting to wear clothes throughout the trip. It was very freeing for me as well as the writer because I didn’t have to continually describe what everyone was wearing. They were wearing nothing! I found this an exciting setting because there are many rules to a nude cruise which were fun to incorporate for a realistic feel. Also, it was great to show Erin’s struggle with being nude in public, and the heroes, Ware and Nase, being completely baffled by her shyness.
Cynthia Sax: Is Cruise into Eden a series and will you be writing more stories in this series?
Lexi Post: Cruise into Eden is the first in the Eden series. I wanted the first book to not only show Erin getting used to being nude, but also show one way in which the men of Eden connect with their chosen women from Earth. The next book in the series Unexpected Eden, will also be based on an Emily Dickinson poem, but except for the first chapter, the entire book will take place on the planet. Ware, Nase, and Erin will be a part of this one as well, but the focus is on three Eden men, Jahl, Sandale, and Khaos and their woman. I’m hoping that my readers will fall in love with Eden as much as I have.
Thank you, Lexi Post, for joining us today!

Interview With Kathy Kulig
I sat down (virtually) with Kathy Kulig for a short interview. Kathy Kulig’s latest release is Nightlord Lover, a sexy vampire menage erotic romance.
Cynthia Sax: What makes Garrick and Ramon so freakin’ sexy?
Kathy Kulig: There are two heroes in NIGHTLORD LOVER because this is a ménage story. Garrick can be described as the warrior vampire, a mysterious and muscular predator. And Ramon is the sorcerer vampire with special powers. He’s sleek and wild like a rock star. Both are strong and fierce when it comes to protecting and pursuing Larissa. They’re intent on claiming her, but not against her will. The only problem is, there are others who would claim her at any time, given the opportunity, even destroy her. Of course, Garrick and Ramon are hot, as vampires usually are.
Cynthia Sax: What is one thing you absolutely love about Nightlord Lover?
Kathy Kulig: I love the setting for this book. New Hope, PA. It’s a historical, colonial village along the Delaware River. There are many old homes, shops and restaurants here. It’s also known as one of the most haunted places in the world. I also like the magical element in this story and the symbiotic relationship mortal and immortals have that makes the town thrive until the rebels gets greedy.
Cynthia Sax: What is your favorite line from Nightlord Lover?
Kathy Kulig: A favorite line that comes to mind is in the opening paragraph. I plan to start this intro. paragraph for each book to set the tone. It’s the internal thoughts of one of the vampires from the New Hope Guild. I’ll let the readers see if they can guess who it is. The line is: “Eternal nights awaken the sensual hunger that drives me into the shadows, searching for the one to end the agony and fill the need.”
Cynthia Sax: Where did you get the idea for Nightlord Lover?
Kathy Kulig: I’ve been to the real New Hope, PA many times and learned about the history, stayed in a couple bed and breakfasts (both claim to be haunted), and took the ghost tour. There truly is a hitchhiking ghost like I have in the story. I always felt it would be a great setting for a vamp story. While hubby and I stayed at one of the B & B’s, we learned about a hidden tunnel under this huge Victorian house that was built in the 1700s. The tunnel was part of the Underground Railroad that was used to rescue slaves and help them to freedom. This tunnel was found while the owners of the B & B decided to do some construction. They stopped the construction to preserve the tunnel.
The tunnel ran from a trap door beneath a gazebo in the yard to the basement of the house. As the writer, I thought what if there were dozens of tunnels like this all around the village connecting stores, businesses and homes? Vampires could travel underground in these tunnels during the day. And what if there was a tunnel that crossed beneath the Delaware River? In my story there is a council of vampire slayers who live in peace across the river. But not for long. All this musing created the beginning of Nightlord Lover
