Two Up Close and Personal Gatherings for Readers!




Two Opportunities to Get 
Up Close and Personal with Kally This Year!


You know how much I love to hang out with readers. Yes, I'll be doing some of the big conferences (including Lori Foster's Reader And Author Get-Together in June, which is sold out, but there are two public signings, including one Friday afternoon, June 5, which I'll be at, and one Saturday afternoon with other authors) and RomCon (not to late to register for this one in September!).

But I want MORE! More what? More face time with my readers where we can just hang out and enjoy each other's company without too many distractions and overbooked programs.

So I have two events planned this year where we can do just that!

First Up:
the Rescue Me Saga
Sightseeing Tour of Colorado!


From Sept. 21-24, I'm taking a very small group of readers (limit 25, including Charlotte and me!) on a tour of the places in Colorado that will have you feeling as if you walked into the pages of my books. This tour will take place in the days leading up to RomCon (a reader-author conference in Denver Sept. 25-27). We won't spend a lot of time in Denver, but will take a bus to the Breckenridge, Park County, and Beaver Creek areas so I can show you some of my inspiration sights, talk with you about the books and characters, and just hang out for a few days in an amazing place. Of course, I'll have a few places to show you in Denver, too!

We're still planning the trip's itinerary and, honestly, when we created our Google interest form, we didn't quite know what the plan would be. We'll know more after we find out just how many readers are interested in hopping on the bus and what type of lodging we can book! (We could go with hotels or rent a huge vacation house to accommodate one helluva slumber party!) Soon, we'll be asking for a non-refundable $100 deposit at which point we can gauge who is seriously planning to join us. The cut-off to register will be in the next month or so so that we can book the bus and make lodging arrangements. If you'd like to be in on the planning discussions (no need to pay anything at this point), express your interest level for the Rescue Me Saga 2015 Sightseeing Tour of Colorado here. Most likely we'll set up a Facebook group, but if anyone can't be on Facebook, then we can attempt another way of discussing the trip!

Among some of the places we'll visit on the tour are The Pines resort in Beaver Creek (inspiration for the D'Alessio family's lodge/resort), Hoosier Pass (inspiration for Iron Horse Pass, where Cassie's cabin is located), and Alma and Fairplay in Park County (inspiration for Aspen Corners and Fairchance, respectively, in my saga). We'll also visit Mount Evans AND the house in Denver that inspired me as the location for the Masters at Arms Club. (No, you can't go to the door and ask if you can play with Adam, Marc, or Damian! The owners have NO idea how their house was immortalized in the pages of my books!)

I'm so looking forward to sharing these special places with you and just spending a few days hanging out in gorgeous Colorado! This trip will be one-of-a-kind! Do NOT miss the bus! Here are a couple pics of some of the readers who took the first sightseeing tour (in Southern California back in 2013). I promise we'll explore some exciting places, then relax over dinners and other meals as we talk about the books! Cost is all-inclusive (meals, lodging, transportation) but we're still calculating costs until we know how many days we need the bus, how many nights lodging (we counted on two so far in our $400 estimate with double occupancy, but single occupancy would be more, adding Monday night more, or we could make out better by renting a big vacation home--so until I know who wants to go and what we're going to do, I can't set the final price. Hoping to do that by later this month, tho! Definitely before asking anyone to sign up and put down a deposit!)

(Touring the Thousand Steps Beach, site of two hot beach cave scenes)

(Touring La Valencia in La Jolla, inspiration for where Damian and Savannah met)

But that's not all! 


I've invited six special author friends who all write Military Romance (and sometimes in other subgenres) to the second annual KallypsoCon! Joining me this year are New York Times and/or USA Today bestselling authors Sharon Hamilton, Cristin Harber, Elle James, Kennedy Layne, J.M. Madden, and Teresa Reasor. These award-winning authors and I will be gathering for one very special Halloween weekend in New England at Nashua, N.H. Join us, too! The $200 registration fee includes two buffet dinners with drinks, open bar at the Halloween Party, Saturday breakfast, Sunday champagne brunch, presentation and ad-lib sessions with the authors, plus Top Griz (who has helped a number of us with our military and weapons facts!), a two-hour Q&A session with all 7 authors where you can ask anything (and will be surprised at how honest we'll be in our responses!), fun and games, a chance to have a meal with a different author each time, a bag filled with premium swag goodies from each of the authors, and lots of opportunities to hang out in between programmed events for some awesome Military Romance authors.

Here's what readers from all over the United States, Canada, and the world (we had readers from the UK and Australia there!) said about the first KallypsoCon:

“The  whole  weekend  was so much  fun and meeting  you  all was so great.  Often times  you meet celebrities (please know I am a  dork and authors are  celebrity in my  little  world )  and they aren't  as  great as you  thought they  would  be  but you guys  were all so  lovely and flipping hysterical.” (Deana)

“A HUGE shout out to Kallypso Masters for bringing together some of the loveliest ladies, readers, and like-minded thinkers for a more than memorable weekend at Kallypsocon 2014!! We laughed til we cried, and we have stories to tell! (Boy oh boy...!) And a special thanks to each of the amazing authors who made this weekend ROCK!” (Annalise)

“I loved the whole weekend and it was well worth the long flights thank you, Kallypso and Charlotte, for organising it all!” (Ruth)

“I was lucky to be able to attend. All of you who wished you could have been there missed getting to really know all these great ladies. Keep watching for announcement when the next one will be so you have more time to make your dream come true.” (Sabrina)


Don't miss out on the 2015 KallypsoCon (click this link to learn more)! Register TODAY before we fill up the 100 reader spots! I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones at this year's events!

Here are some photos from last year's event:

Virtual Signing Ends Soon--and a Peek at One of the New Rescue Me Saga Covers

SOMEBODY'S ANGEL (the newest paperback in this saga) looks fabulous! It's 508 pages long and includes some noticeable changes from the original e-book, so it's time for a re-read! (See below for info on ordering updates--don't pay for updated ebooks of the books you have purchased.)

You still have a few more days to place your order for all four paperbacks with THESE covers (the originals) at Romance Novel Promotions's Virtual Signing Page before I switch over to the new covers in mid May! The ones with these kinky/sexy covers will be guaranteed available if you order by April 30 (and they may continue to be ordered until the cut-off in May, but I don't know what date that will be)! Each book will be signed and personalized as you indicate in your order form.


If you can't pay until May, just e-mail Charlotte@kallypsomasters.com and she'll invoice you. The main thing is that we need to be sure to order and hold your copies with these covers while we can.

Books with both the old and the new covers will have new bonus material that was added in April--a playlist for the first three couples in the saga, and a unique cast of characters and glossary of terms for each of the first four books. But the stories haven't changed substantially since they were first released in paperback (December 2012 through Nobody's Hero and January 2013 for Nobody's Perfect). Of course, I'm always tweaking here and there, but mostly minor word choice. Once a book comes out in paperback, there are no more substantial changes. 

Even if you don't want paperbacks, be sure to get your e-books updated. NEVER PAY FOR AN UPDATE! Work with customer service at Amazon, or ask Charlotte (e-mail above) how to get updates where you bought the book originally. If you ask here how to do it, I'm sure people will know. At Amazon, where most of you bought or receive them, just contact Customer Service. DO NOT WAIT for them to tell you there's an update. That can take months (if it ever happens). These books haven't been added to Amazon's update list, so don't wait, especially if you want your copy to have these covers. (And if you don't want to have them automatically update to the new covers when it happens, be sure to turn off automatic updates.)

And if you want to see what the new covers are going to look like, here's a peek at the first of the new ones. (We're still working on fine-tuning the others!) I've decided to go with this more romantic look in part to make the books appeal to a larger reading audience, because many readers do still judge a book by its cover. While I started out thinking I would be writing erotic romance, it seems that my characters have had other ideas in the last couple books (and the one I'm working on), so these covers are much more in keeping with the overall series. While there will always be hot sex scenes and the use of erotic terms, I just don't provide enough of those to label the books as erotic romance (not since Nobody's Hero, anyway). They always have been much more focused on the romance and life issues than the kink. So the new covers will appeal to readers of other Romance genres, and possibly even mainstream fiction. But the stories within will not change! 

Here's what the audiobook cover for book one (Masters at Arms & Nobody's Angel) looks like. I absolutely LOVE the new covers (I've seen drafts of all but Somebody's Angel so far) and hope you will love them, too! 


And sometime this summer, I'll be revealing the latest--NOBODY'S DREAM, which will be only available in the new style (because it's much more a steamy/sweet Romance than a kinky one about halfway through the first draft).

Again, you can order signed, personalized copies directly from me athttp://romancenovelpromotions.blogspot.com/p/authors-virtual-signings.html and I will sign them to you or whomever you ask me to if you want to give gifts! Thanks!

Marc & Angelina's Christmas Play (scene) from last year


I hope the holiday season is going well for everyone and that you have given and received many blessings. May the New Year bring many more!

As I promised my friends on Facebook and at my recent book signing in New York City, here's a bonus scene for you with Marc and Angelina that won't appear in any of the books in the Rescue Me series. Those who are up to date with the series know that Marc and Angelina came together in Nobody's Angel (Rescue Me #2) and ended with a Happy For Now after their first week together. Several months later, they're long-overdue for Happily Ever After, but those who have read Nobody's Perfect (Rescue Me #4) know Marc is going through a bit of a crisis. The heart of the problem will be revealed in Somebody's Angel (Rescue Me #5, due out in sometime in 2013), but the bonus vignette below takes place on Christmas Day of last year, before the disastrous New Year's weekend in Aspen. They're both very much in love and oh so compatible in the bedroom—and the playroom.


Of course, I can't continue their story in the next book on such a blissfully happy scene. Still, I wanted to share it with you as my gift for your ongoing patience. Writing this scene also has stoked the fire for me to start working in earnest on Somebody's Angel in the next week or so. (First I have to get Nobody's Perfect in paperback form, along with the first three books in the series which went into paperback versions earlier this month. And in my next blog, I hope to share some photos and stories from my paperback launch reception during my mini vacation with my daughter to New York City before Christmas. I'll post some buy links below for the paperbacks, which are only available online at CreateSpace and Amazon right now.)

But first, Marc and Angelina… (Please excuse typos and incorrect word choices—but I need to hit the road this afternoon to get home to hubby and I have lots of packing to do!). 

This scene takes place after they have visited Damián's apartment with a special delivery for Marisol, as depicted in Nobody's Perfect.

Marc's Christmas Scene for Angelina 

Angelina removed Marc's sexy elf hat and ran her fingers through his hair as his Porsche tore down the highway toward Aspen Corners. She hoped they wouldn't be too late, but knew Mama wouldn't start serving dinner until they arrived. She just didn't tell Marc that. Let him think he might miss out on some of Mama's fantastic cooking.

Her mind turned to what had made them late. "What do you think that was all about with Savi?" Seeing Damián's friend freaking out over the kitten two hours ago had her worried. She hoped they'd done the right thing in bringing the rescued kitten to Marisol for Christmas this morning. Damián said he liked the idea, anyway. His being allergic to little Boots made her doubly worried.

Marc squeezed her hand. "She appeared to have some kind of flashback, but Damián's had enough of them to know what to do. Don't worry, cara."

She nodded. It was ironic that Damián would find a lady with PTSD issues, too. "She seems really nice, and Marisol is adorable. I can see why Damián's so smitten with them both."

"I just hope Savi doesn't reinjure that rib. She scared me this morning when she jumped up and ran."

Angelina leaned over the console and pressed a kiss against Marc's cheek.

"What was that for?"

"For caring so much, even about a near stranger. You're a good man, Marc D'Alessio."

Marc kept his gaze on the road ahead. "I think you're biased, Amore."

"Maybe. I'm in love, too. But if you weren't so wonderful, then I wouldn't be biased or in love."

His smile told her she hadn't freaked him out telling him she loved him, not like it used to do anyway. The two rode on in companionable silence. As they came through the last pass, she glanced at the road leading to Cassie's cabin and wondered what the woman planned to do for Christmas. Maybe she should have invited her to join the Giardano gathering, but Cassie would almost certainly have declined, especially with all Angelina's brothers there in full force. She was such a sweet girl. Too bad she kept herself closed off from everyone the way she did. Everyone but Karla and, by association, now Angelina to a slight degree.

Snow clouds hovered over the mountain peaks to the right. She wondered how much accumulation there would be today and tonight, hoping it wouldn't be enough to impede travel. She and Marc wanted to get back to Denver tonight. He said he had a special Christmas scene planned for her up in their playroom. She couldn't wait.

But wait she would, because Marc loved to make her squirm with anticipation. She was getting better at not peppering him with a dozen questions, because she knew he wouldn't tell her anything. Still, she couldn't help but wonder.

"So, is my Christmas scene going to involve a certain jolly old elf?"

He reached over and pinched her.

"Ow!"

"Who are you calling old?"

She rubbed her thigh. "I meant Santa Claus, you big oaf."

He chuckled." After playing the elf today, I naturally assumed you meant me."

"Well, of course I expect it to include you. Hmmm, maybe a threesome."

Marc's face grew serious. "I don't share you with anyone. Not anymore."

There had been a time when he'd practically thrown her at Luke. She remembered the time with the three of them on her sofa, too, not that Marc had done anymore more than restrain her with his body for Luke's pleasure. Okay, her pleasure, too. But she knew Luke wasn't the right man for her. She was destined to love Marc for the rest of her life.

"Now I wonder what an elf might use on a naughty little sub?" She tapped her chin as she pretended to think about it, hoping he'd divulge something, but he remained silent. "I've heard some elves can get quite creative with candy canes."

"How did you…I mean, we'll see. You know I'm not going to tell you."

Oh, but that was a tell! So, he planned to use a candy cane. She read once that they made for an incredible sensation when inserted into a pussy. Is that what he had in mind? She remembered the time he'd put minty toothpaste on her clit. Would a minty candy stick burn as much? Would he use one of those great bit ones?

Angelina flushed at the thought. Mio Dio, she wanted to get back home as soon as they could.

Moments later Marc pulled into her Mama's driveway, putting all thoughts of their upcoming playtime on the back burner for a while. Her youngest brother Tony came outside the house wearing a red and blue ski sweater. He shook Marc's hand. The two tolerated each other, but until there was a ring on her finger, Tony was going to ride Marc's ass to make an honest woman of her and not expect him to be a forever kind of guy.

Tony gave Angelina a crushing hug. "Merry Christmas, baby."

"Stop calling me baby."

He released her and tweaked her nose. "Not a chance." Marc opened the trunk.

Tony let her go. "Need any help carrying things inside?"

Soon the three of them were loaded down with presents as well as the dishes Angelina had offered to bring for today's feast, including some of her favorite anise-flavored Italian cookies. She hoped Marc would enjoy them.

The next couple hours were filled with food and laughter around the table. When her brothers went to the family room to gather around the TV set to watch a bowl game, Marc surprised her by staying with her and Mama to help clear the table.

"Don't you want to watch football?"

"I love football—just not the American version."

Ah, so her Italian stud had brought with him a love of soccer from the old country. Angelina actually enjoyed watching the World Cup much more than a bowl game. One more thing they were compatible in. She'd never dreamed she'd meet someone so perfect for her. Especially not a Dom, after she'd sworn off BDSM altogether with the disastrous introduction she's had with Allen Martin.

Marc set the silverware in the sink and turned to her. "What was that thought?"

Angelina looked over at Marc. She hadn't even realized he'd been watching her. But he always seemed to be attentive and knew her every thought sometimes. Or at least knew the emotion behind it based on what he read on her expressive face.

"Nothing. Just thankful to have found you. That's all."

"Ah, but I found you first."

"Yeah, well, I was trying to block that out of my memory, so it took me a while to realize you had rescued me at the club. I found you at Rico's, though. It helped that I wasn't in subspace. I remember that more clearly."

He reached out to pinch her nipple and she turned quickly to make sure Mama hadn't seen, but she was walking back toward the dining room to gather more items. Angelina tried to brush his hand aside anyway, but he just squeezed harder.

"Ow. What was that for?"

"To remind you that, even though you have no cognizant memory of our first time together, your body retains the feeling memory of that time."

Her clit zinged as she remembered how he'd reached inside the subbie blanket and he'd brought her off with just a touch.

Marc smiled. "See? You do remember."

Her face grew flushed and he gave her nipple one more pinch before letting her go. "Here, Mrs. Giardano, let me take those." Angelina fanned herself as Marc went to retrieve whatever Mama held and carried a stack of scraped plates to the sink.

Tonight couldn't come fast enough. And neither could she.

* * *


Marc checked to make sure the red satin sash was securely fastened over Angelina's eyes before he opened the door to the playroom. He'd let her take a look at the way he'd decorated the room later, but she'd peppered him with so many questions on the way home, he thought it best she remain in suspense a while longer. When would she learn that a little anticipation was good for her—and him? He'd have her howling tonight—a number of times.

With an arm around her waist between her back and her cuffed hands, he led her toward the spanking horse. They hadn't played on this particular piece of equipment before. He'd continue to work with her on the St. Andrew's cross and was confident he'd replaced all the bad memories of that apparatus with much more pleasant ones.

But tonight, he wanted to see her ass red and her pussy weeping for him in readiness. Dio, he'd missed being able to touch her today. Judging by the way she'd stroked his thigh and eventually his cock on the drive back, she was ready, too. Good thing he'd pulled over to the emergency lane before he wrecked the Porsche. He'd ordered her to give him a blow job before he'd been able to continue the rest of the three-hour drive home. Merda, the woman's hands—and mouth—did something to him that made it hard to concentrate. Watching her deep throat him made him hard as a rock now.

But tonight was his gift to her—at first, anyway. When they reached the horse, he halted her. He released the clamp on the padded leather cuffs he'd restrained her with down in the bedroom.

"Use your hands to separate your tits for me." She did so. He wanted to see one tit on each side of the bar, her nipples easily accessible to him. Dio, he loved her big tits.

"There are kneelers just in front of your feet. Stand on them." The toe of her shoe bumped into the left one before she raised her mule-encased foot onto the velvet pad. She soon had her other foot on its pad. The shoes had a three-inch heel, which was about as much as he wanted to see her in. She was none too steady in anything higher anyway.

"Good girl." He placed one hand on her abdomen and the other between her shoulder blades and applied slight pressure to her back. "Now, bend over."

Her hesitation barely noticeable, she leaned forward, trusting him not to let her fall as he guided her into position on the center beam of the spanking horse. The joint of her hips was right at the edge, just where he wanted her. When he'd set up the equipment, he'd adjusted the arms of the horse to where he thought her arms would be. Perfect fit. He knew her body so well after the last few months. Not nearly as well as he wanted to learn it in the months and years to come.

"You can release your tits and stretch out your arms as if on a cross." She'd seen this piece of equipment before and stretched out onto the padded arm rests in perfect position. "Good girl." He saw a smile on her lips, then moved to the head of the apparatus and took her head between his hands, guiding her forehead onto the padded cushion and making sure her face was positioned properly inside the hole. He then strapped her waist to the center bar.

"Nod if you can breathe comfortably."

She nodded. He'd instructed her that she was not to make a sound unless given permission or to count the blows. Keeping her from being so vocal was an area of discipline in which they still had a lot of work to do, especially when she was ready to come. He loved hearing her express the pleasure of her orgasm, but he also wanted to enjoy her more in public and needed to work on quieting down her responses to being pleasured—a little, at least. Tonight, though, he wanted to hear her scream his name as she came with him buried deep inside her. Not yet, though.

After adjusting the kneepads to make her comfortable—for now—he went to his toy bag and pulled out what he'd be using tonight. He loved sensation play with Angelina. She was so fucking responsive.

* * *

Angelina waited. She'd never been on the spanking horse before. The name alone made her wet. She loved being spanked—and Marc was built like a horse. She hoped he'd fill her pussy with every inch tonight. With all the Christmas preparations, they hadn't really had time for play or even vanilla sex for the last five days. She was primed and ready.

Something soft and fuzzy brushed up her thighs and over the cheeks of her butt. She pictured the heart-shaped paddle he'd used on her several months ago in the great room at the club when he'd begun her training as a sub. But she was his sub now. Forever.

"You know the drill, pet. You're permitted to speak as you've been trained to do."

Whoomph!

The soft paddle came down on her left cheek. "One, Sir. Please may I have another?" Only harder this time. With something other than that wimpy paddle? But she'd behave for now, unless he continued to go easy on her, in which case she'd release the brat inside.

After several more love taps with the fuzzy paddle, Marc's fingers spread open her shaved lips, exposing her wet pussy and clit to the much cooler air.

Whoomph!

"Holy…" She hoped she'd caught herself in time, but the paddle had come down hard on her swollen clit, surprising her. "I mean, four, Sir. M-may I have another?"

"Of course, pet."

This time, she braced herself for the paddle to her clit again. Instead, she felt Marc's tongue stroking her clit hood and coaxing the little nubbin to engorge even more. Oh, yes. Keep doing that.

Whoomph!

Holy Mother of God! The pain radiated from her pussy to her thighs as the pain of the direct impact onto her exposed clit. What number were they on?

"Five, Sir. Please may I have another?"

No more blows were delivered. Marc rammed what felt like to fingers into her pussy hole and she tried to move toward him, but the belt around her waist and the arm restraints made that impossible. She moaned.

"Silence."

Oh, yeah. He didn't want to her hear expressing her pleasure this time. She needed to rein in her responses.

He removed his fingers and he nearly groaned with regret before catching herself. The sound of crinkling cellophane filled her ears. Ah, the candy cane. When he pressed the tip against her pussy, she immediately realized this was no tiny cane, but one of those inch-thick sticks it took forever to finish as a kid. He continued to press the stick inside her and she didn't feel anything at first. What a disappointment.

She heard more cellophane and Marc came up near her face. "Turn toward me." She did, and he pushed the sash onto her forehead. He was licking the straight end of a smaller candy cane and smiling. He wore his green elf hat from earlier, but looked anything but innocent. There was a wicked gleam in his eye.

"How does your pussy feel?"

She wasn't sure how much of the stick was inside her, but the image of the other end sticking out of her hole made her clench her vaginal muscles. "Full." Suddenly, the ring of muscles around her opening began to grow increasingly warm. "Hot now."

He grinned and stuck the candy cane into his mouth right up to the curve of the stick, coating it with his saliva. He took it out. "Face down." Just before she averted her eyes, she saw him practically deep- throat the cane again.

His hand spread her clenched butt cheeks, which she'd contracted to keep the now-burning stick from falling out, not that it seemed to be going anywhere.

"Relax your sphincter."

"Wait!"

"Silence, pet, or you'll be punished for your lack of discipline."

The tip of the wet candy cane pressed against her asshole and she fought to relax, but the thought of the burning to come made that nearly impossible.

Smack!

The stinging in her butt cheek told her Marc's patience wasn't going to put up with any disobedience, so she relaxed as he'd instructed and felt the smaller peppermint coated candy stick insert into her anus. While not nearly as big as the butt plugs he'd trained her with, the heat of the peppermint oil, already wet from Marc's mouth, soon heated up her smaller hole.

Don't scream. Remain quiet for him. Please your Dom.

The litany went on and on. Marc stroked her but cheeks down to her thighs and up again. He pulled the larger cane out, then rammed it inside her very wet pussy again where it bumped against the smaller cane, causing pain to bloom in her ass. She clenched her sphincter tightly around the sugary torture device that had her burning for Marc's penis. But she knew she wouldn't receive that Christmas reward for a while, not after she'd gotten him off just a couple hours ago on the ride home. He was satiated for now. She'd learned the man's endurance was beyond anything imaginable during that first week they'd been together.

Marc pinched her left nipple, causing her to jerk as much as she could, then he clamped it with one of the alligator clips he was fond of using lately. The teeth bit into her flesh, but with the flow of blood cut off, it soon grew numb as he walked around the horse to do the same with the other nipple. She knew the real pain would come later, when he removed the damned things.

He stepped away again and she missed the heat of his body. "Now, where were we?"

Slap!

Ow! The sting of a leather tawse came down on her right upper thigh. Where indeed? "Um, six, Sir." She hoped. "May I have another?"

"Very good, pet. Your levels of concentration are improving."

His words warmed her heart, but not quite as warm as her ass and pussy holes and the residual stinging where he'd smacked her.

Slap!

"Seven, Sir. Please may I have another?"

He continued with a steadily increasing intensity of blows landing on her butt cheeks as she counted. Fifteen. Twenty. Twenty-five. She pictured the candy canes bobbing up and down as she flinched and tried to squirm away from the stinging leather. Her cheeks soon were hotter than her candy-filled holes, but the feeling of pain receded. She tried not to moan, but she wanted to come so badly.

Without warning, the larger of the canes was removed. "Turn your head and look at me."

She did so and looked up at him with love and hoped she'd pleased him. Without smiling he pressed the candy cane against her lips and pressed it inside. The taste of her own juices mixed with the peppermint was very sensual and she closed her eyes as he pressed it further into her mouth.

"I said look at me."

She complied immediately and he began fucking her face with the stick as she looked up at him. Deeper and deeper the stick went toward the back of her throat. Mio Dio, she couldn't deep throat a candy stick. It would tear up her throat making it hard for her to take him there for days to come. But she wasn't going to tell him to stop. During playtime, her body was his to use as he wished. He'd never abused—or disappointed—her yet.

Marc removed the stick before pressing any further. He smiled. "Good girl."

Relief flooded her. She'd pleased him.

He reached up to unsnap the crotch of his leathers and his cock sprang out. Without having to tell her, she opened her mouth and he soon filled her, going deeper than where he's stopped with the cane on his very first stroke. His hands held her head in place, as if she was going anywhere, and he pushed himself down her throat. She'd long ago lost the gag reflex, loving to give him head every chance he'd let her, and heard him moan as his cock slid into her tight throat. She wished her hands weren't restrained so she could play with the curly hairs on his balls, but would have to content herself with this for now. He pinched her nostrils closed and soon she tightened around his cock even more as she tried to gasp for breath. Pressure built in her chest, but he released her and withdrew. She was disappointed that she hadn't gotten him to come for her.

He walked back down to the juncture of her legs. The coarse hair of his legs stung as they brushed against her tawse-reddened thighs, but she soon forgot the pain as he rammed his cock into her. The smaller cane moved back and forth as he pumped into her, causing her sphincter to go into spasms. She wouldn't last much longer.

Marc's finger flicked the hood of her clit and she clenched her teeth. You do not have permission to scream.

Sweat broke out on her forehead, soaking her satin sash, as she fought for self-control. Marc removed the candy cane from her butt hole and reached up to stroke the sides of her breasts.

"Come for me, pet. Loudly."

He removed both of the tit clamps simultaneously. The pain rushed into her nipples as blood flow was restored.

"Holy shit, that hurts! Oh, Gesu, yes! It hurts so good!"

His finger rubbed her tender nipples as he continued to pumped his rod inside her. The explosion bubbled up. "So close. Come with me, Sir!"

And he did.

Kally here again. Now, where was I? Oh, yeah! Whew. I love writing sexy scenes for those two! But before I do that, in case you haven't heard, my first three e-books are now out in two paperback volumes, with Masters at Arms and Nobody's Angel in a combined first volume, followed by Nobody's Hero. These books are HUGE, as you may have noticed while reading them on your e-reader.

Rescue Me Series Paperback Vol. I 


Nobody's Hero
Rescue Me Series Paperback Vol. II 

Nobody's Perfect coming in a couple weeks in paperback!

For buy links to the first four books in e-books, 

Thanks for your ongoing support of my writing efforts! 

Happy New Year to all!

Kally's News and the Perfect Announcement

It's been nearly a month since I've posted a blog here. Yikes! I have been working, really I have! As you'll see below, I've been guest blogging a couple times; attended the Authors After Dark conference in New Orleans last week, where I got to meet lots of readers and erotic romance authors; and have been working on revising Nobody's Perfect based on input from my beta readers and editors. Here's some news that might interest you!

Kentucky Indie Writers on Edin Road Radio

I and my fellow Kentucky Indie Writers (KIW) members will be the August guests at Edin Road Radio. Listen to the great interviews here. And, if you can tune in live at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Thursday, Aug. 16, you'll hear me live. I'll be reading from the beginning of Section Two of Masters at Arms, and possibly the edited Prologue of Nobody's Perfect, if time permits. 

Nobody's Perfect Release Date Set!!! 


Great news! After conferring with my editorial staff and publicity team, the release day has been set for Sept. 14!!! The release-day party will take place on Facebook (lots of fun and prizes all day long with some of my favorite BDSM authors joining in with giveaways, too!), followed Sept. 17-21 with a Perfect Release Blog Tour and lots more great giveaways (including daily Gift Card prizes and a $200 GC at an online bookseller of your choice). 

In the editing phase, I realized something that will be announced in my newsletter the week of Aug. 27. Be sure you've signed up at the newsletter link (above right or in the blog message below) so you won't miss the announcement!

Master Adam is the Ultimate Dom of 2012


Wow! What competition! Masters Logan and Marcus gave him quite a run, and each man was on top for some portion of the contest, but congratulations to Master Adam Montague for this amazing victory, less than a year after he'd first been introduced to the world of BDSM romance reads. I would like to thank all my readers and fans for voting, even if you voted for one of the other two awesome Doms in the contest (and I know it was hard to choose for many of you). There were more than 11,000 votes cast before it was over! Of course, Master Adam will always be "my" ultimate Dom, but I'm happy  to share him with you all for the coming year!

I want to thank Francesca of Under the Covers Book Blog for hosting the contest and Kelly from Books-n-Kisses for her entry on why she thought Master Adam should win. They made this a lot of fun for me (although Master Adam could have done without the notoriety, because Karla's been teasing him mercilessly ever since).


Now Master Adam is up Summer's Hottest Hero
All Romance EBooks' Summer's Hottest Heroes



Vote HERE for Master Adam!!!
(Note: There are 24-hour down times between 
each of the early rounds where voting isn't permitted)

Master Adam has won the first two rounds in the competition. Wow! He had some awesome competition from the fans of Powerhouse (Kele Moon's hero) and Bones (Jeaniene Frost's hero) in the first two rounds. I'm sure the latest round will be another squeaker, so if you love him best in his pair, please vote for him.

Voting in Round 3 begins at 12 midnight Central Aug. 15 and runs through 12 midnight Central Aug. 21. Be sure to click on each hero's name to find a real treat. ARe asked the heroes to invite their ladies to a special occasion and to prepare the menu. Well, we all know what a great cook Adam is. Ha! (I believe Karla said he can't boil water—and we know what he did to the cinnamon rolls, prompting one of my favorite Master Adam quotes:

"I've brought you breakfast—or tried. Fucking stove..." 

Gawd, I love that man! So click on his name when you vote and see what he's cooking up this time! 

You can vote once each round and have to log in (or sign up for) your free account there in order to vote. Let's keep Master Adam on a roll here!!!!

Hoppy Easter Blog Hop: Contest & Giveaway RESCUE ME

Happy Easter, everyone! I wish I had a fun Easter excerpt to share from one of my books, but the closest I have is Christmas ones. But this is the HOPPY EASTER BLOG HOP, so I'll just hop right into the contest. 




For my contest, I'm going to pose a question about an upcoming book I'm writing in my Rescue Me series and let you all help me out with suggestions. I hope even those who haven't read the series yet will join in. You never know what might spark the way to go with this. My question is for a character in my May 2012 release, Nobody's Perfect. 


The winner of the contest will be drawn on/after April 9 at random from all who comment. (But if I choose your answer in the book, you just might get named in the Acknowledgements of an upcoming book. Don't worry--I'll ask for permission first to find out if and how you want to be listed.)


For those who want to quickly be brought up to speed on some of the characters in this series, the introduction, Masters at Arms, for FREE through April 16 at Smashwords using Coupon code DN98N. 


Da Prize: Winner's choice e-book in the Rescue Me series--plus some Kallypso Masters and Rescue Me "swag" that I'll be giving away at the Romantic Times Convention and elsewhere this year, including a set of three Romance Trading cards, a bookmark, a pen with "Ahh, Kallypso...the stories you tell" on it, and an 8-inch hand fan with this awesome graphic on it. (Ah, Master Adam!) Contest open internationally!




Now to the contest question, which I need to answer for an upcoming blog hop--and I need the answer by Monday. (No pressure!) Be sure to leave an e-mail address so we can contact you about the prize (or the acknowledgement). 


BACKGROUND: The hero in my next book is Damian Orlando, an Iraq War veteran amputee and the sensitive sadist at the Masters at Arms Club. He's a Mexican-American who grew up in Solana Beach, California (near San Diego). Damian was a sniper in the Marines. Family is more important to him than anything. Not sure what else will help you with the answer, but some of my readers may want to chime in with more background in their comments. 


DA QUESTION: What is Damian's favorite movie--and why?


Be sure to check out the contests on the other Hoppy Easter Blog Hoppers. There's a variety of heat levels from sweet to erotic and they're labeled accordingly at http://thebloghopspot.com/event-page/.
