Bijou Bugle

Welcome to the Bijou Bugle Newsletter!

So glad you've subscribed.

Welcome to the Bijou Bugle, especially all the new subscribers.

Here you'll find news of my books, behind the scenes looks, first glimpses of covers, layouts of the town or studio and much more. Today I wanted to touch base with an excerpt of Book 3 in my Bijou Basin series - Elemental Exposure. Stay tuned for that below.

For those of you who are new - I hadn't realized how OLD my welcoming email was - it was quite some time ago, and things have changed, including me taking a short story off Wattpad - it wasn't the place for me. Apologies if you went there, in search for it. Stay tuned to the newsletters, as I'll be giving that story some love and putting it on StoryOrigin by next month so it's available for free to those who want to read it.

I did update the welcoming email, as so much more has changed than what it had - it was old!  Here's the current status for me and my books:
  • Natural Exposure - Book 1 of the Bijou Basin series, and the center around which all other books will revolve.
  • A Bijou Basin - Book 0.5 of the Bijou Basin series. This is set just weeks prior to the events of NaEx. It was my first foray into 3rd person and it didn't go well, so for now, it's been removed from Wattpad, and will soon be up on Story Origin as a free Reader Magnet.
  • A Discovery of BDSM - Book 1 of the Bijou Basin Book Bites - a series of short stories to novelettes surrounding the characters of BB. The first one is set 21 years prior to the events of NaEx (will be a free Reader Magnet on SO after 3/5/21).
  • Negative Exposure - Book 2 of the Bijou Basin series
  • An Exploration of BDSM - Book 2 of the Bijou Basin Book Bites. The second one is set 19 years prior to the events of NaEx.
  • Elemental Exposure - Currently editing Book 3 of the Bijou Basin series
  • An Erotic Writer's Planner - a 2021 planner for writers with a NSFW erotic theme.
In addition to everything Bijou Basin, I have written a partial first draft of a mystery, but that will have to be on another pen name. That news will come down the road, as my focus is on completing Elemental Exposure at this time.

Speaking of, how about a sneak peek? In this part (subject to small changes), Ripley's wondering how so many friends (25ish in their extended group, 15 in their "core" group) met and came to be friends.
Elemental Exposure excerpt
Chapter 08

“How about Friday the fourth? A good anniversary celebration?”

“What anniversary?” Ripley asks.

“Felicity met Donovan fifteen years ago on the third.”

My friend shakes her head in response. “That’s not what I meant, and you know it.”

“So, what do you mean?” Ripley questions, glancing between us.

I turn and smile at her. “It’s our fifteenth wedding anniversary.”

“Wow. How come I didn’t know that? And do you celebrate anniversaries when you don’t do birthdays?”

“Meh, it depends. It is the only thing that means anything to us, so this lot,” I indicate the ladies, “typically do something because I sorta brought the group together.”

“Sorta?” Felicity snorts. “No sorta about it.” The others nod, while Ripley looks baffled.

“I’ve wondered about that. I mean… There are a few things I gathered about how some of you met, but not the complete picture of how it came to be so many people and such a close nit group of friends.” She waves her hand, incorporating the others in different parts of the studio.

“Sit back then, sugar. I’ve got a story for you.”

I laugh and shake my head at Felicity. “Here we go,” I mumble, with a grin, before settling back into my seat. With Felicity telling the story, none of the rest of us will get to say anything.
That's all for me for now.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far. If you haven't yet tried my Bijou Basin series, An Exploration of BDSM is FREE on Story Origin as a Reader Magnet.

First Time Player is a sweet and hot instalove nerd romance. Wes is defying his parents' expectations to go into tech, Ana owns the best damn video game store in town. They meet at a geek convention, and the attraction is instant and undeniable. But is that hunger enough for them to break through their barriers and satisfy their cravings for connection?

An Exploration of BDSM - Released today!





RELEASE DAY for "An Exploration of BDSM" - the 2nd of my Bijou Book Bites Books - bite size books you can devour quickly. :) Though ExBDSM is the 2nd book in the little sub-series, and connect with the end of "A Discovery of BDSM", it can be read as a stand-alone.

Clicking on the book above takes you to Amazon, and there are links at the bottom of my posts.

The Blurb:



It’s been two years since Kenzie and Felicity experienced A Discovery of BDSM.

While Kenzie’s savored Dominating her beautiful, if bratty, submissive, she hasn’t forgotten her own desires to submit. With Felicity a submissive, and a failed session at a BDSM club, Kenzie’s unable to determine if she is, as she suspects, a Switch.

All that changes when Jarrett re-enters her life.

During their budding romance, she asks if he’s familiar with BDSM. Not only is he familiar, but he’s eager to delve into the world of kink, giving Kenzie everything she craves with An Exploration of BDSM.




Still working on Book 3 - though I'm unsure I'll get it out when I hoped - my mystery keeps occupying my mind, instead of the end of book 3. But it'll get there. In the meantime, I'll have a quote from Book 3 in my next Newsletter, if you're at all interested in signing up, please do!




Since you're here, check out this Giveaway. Just by signing up, you receive ELEVEN FREE BOOKS with a chance to win 11 more! What are you waiting for? Sign up now!

New Year - New Newsletter


*|MC:SUBJECT|*
View this email in your browser
Bijou Bugle

Welcome to the Bijou Bugle Newsletter!

So glad you've subscribed.

Welcome to the New Year. Apologies for disappearing off the end of the radar. 2020 was something. For us, it was fine for most of it, but near the end our dog was having issues (she's better), so it got a little crazy for us, plus NaNo in November, and that just led to a quiet end of the year.

So I am BACK and ready to send these out regularly, to get back into a routine. Even with a lot going on outside of my books and writing, there's still been a lot going on within it.

Before we get into that, check out this giveaway that Dominique Wild is doing. You can score a bunch of reader magnets, as well as win a bunch of books, so sign up now. I've included An Exploration of BDSM free as my reader magnet, and Natural Exposure for my giveaway, so sign-up now.
Since the release of book 2 of the Bijou Basin series, I haven't been idle. For NaNoWriMo in November, I wrote a partial first draft of a completely unrelated book to the BB series, which was my first. My attention's divided now, but I like the new one - it's a Mystery.

After that, I ended up creating The Erotic Writer's Planner, when I went in search of one for myself and couldn't find ones I like. It's geared for Erotic Writer's, as I've added NSFW content, but of course, anyone could use it. It features:
  • Blank months - start any time (Apr, Jul, Nov have Nano pages)
  • Project Planning & Tracking
  • Monthly Word Count Tracking
  • Beta & ARC Reader Tracking
  • Author & Reader Goals
  • NSFW Images of women (no real faces)
  • And more within 210 pages!

Finally, I published a second novelette titled An Exploration of BDSM. It picks up right where A Discovery of BDSM leaves off, having Kenzie experience what it's like to be submissive for the first time. An Exploration of BDSM is up for Pre-Order now, and goes live 2/4/21.
Trusted Lovers: All-Genre Book Fair
That's it for this month's quick update. Stay tuned next month for a first Sneak Peek at Book 3 in the Bijou Basin series - Elemental Exposure. No release date set yet, but I hope to have it out in the first half of the year.

Stay safe and sane, y'all!
Mistress Maya by Blair Maddox

----

The Surrender Series chronicles the adventures of Maya Wylde as she indulges her darkest desires dominating willing submissives as she travels around for business.
Initiation by Tiny Sparks
Tina has a fabulous imagination, giving her the opportunity to write sexy articles for a magazine. When offered a full time writer's gig, she's all for it.

This time, however, her imagination won't help her as they want a personal touch. A colleague at her current job might just give her all the experience she needs, and more. How far will she go to become a full time writer?
