“Pleasure Satellite” is my second epubbed story released and my debut story from Ellora’s Cave.

As I stated in an earlier post, I usually start my stories with the characters. In the case of “Pleasure Satellite” it was the heroine that came to me first. In the way I usually do, random thoughts were running through my head, and I just thought that a female gladiator would be the coolest thing.

However, I didn’t see her in ancient Rome, so where would I put a female gladiator? Hey, what about outer space? That works!

And if I was setting a story in outer space, well that meant the hero didn’t have to be human, right? So if I could make the sexiest space alien, how would I describe him? Poof, Nevan – the hero of “Pleasure Satellite” – was created.

So I started writing a story with these two characters in mind.

I’m a pantser, not a plotter, so as I sat down and started writing, I didn’t realize in the beginning that the story would end up being quite as naughty as the final product ended up being (tee-hee). These two characters just sparked off each other though, and I had to accept that I was a saucy authoress and let this story be as sexy as it wanted to be.

When it came to submitting, I knew immediately I wanted it to go to Ellora’s Cave. I don’t think any epublishing house does erotic romance better than EC, and they were a pub that I have always wanted to be an author at. So I submitted the synopsis and first three chapters to EC and nowhere else, with fingers and toes crossed.

Four months later I received an email from Grace Bradley, an editor at EC, asking for the full. One month after that, Grace emailed me with a revise and resubmit. One month after that, I was signing my first contract with Ellora’s Cave, and now have the pleasure of calling the amazing Grace Bradley my editor.

I couldn’t be happier with how it has turned out. My editing experience was fantastic, I ended up with a stunning cover (which I can’t figure out how to upload, sorry!) and all in all, I have been really blessed with my publishing journey thus far.

As with “Loving a Fairy Godmother” I’m going to be giving away copies of “Pleasure Satellite”. So get to commenting (on anything your little heart desires) and good luck!

BLURB:

Nevan’s life is nothing but duty and honor. The eldest son of a prestigious House, he has a life mapped out ahead of him, including mating a woman for whom he feels nothing but brotherly affection. But then one night he discovers a woman who makes his blood boil and his body hard.

Seena has known nothing but blood and pain in her life. A fighter for the BloodRing, she is nothing more than spectacle, her life and death meaningless except as entertainment for the masses. Then one night a male comes to her in secret with a bargain the likes of which she has never been confronted with. The ultimate fight, which will lead her either to freedom”¦or to his bed.

Nevan will allow nothing to stop him from possessing the human. On the Pleasure Satellite anything is permissible, and to the strongest goes everything.
