Scarlett Flame's "Bound for Passion" Blog Tour:

Editor’s note: In the week leading up to Valentine’s Day, I thought it only fitting to reach out to one of the many romance/erotica writers that have supported my podcast and blog to whip together a little something in fitting with the theme.

As luck would have it, Scarlett Flame (who last year wrote a massively popular piece for me on steampunk) is currently on the “Blog Tour” trail and asked if The Cutting Room Floor could be one of her stops. I’d never hosted such a stop so of course I was more than happy to help. Below, you’ll find some thoughts on her anthology “Bound for Passion”. I’ve also included some additional information as to where you can buy the book and even read some reviews. Also look for a live interview with the author herself on my show in early March.

Scarlett, once again the floor is yours…

What the book is about:

The debut novel is composed partially of stories that were published initially on my blog over the last six months or so, and a new story created especially for the book. Individually these stories are hot, but together they are sizzling.

When Vivienne sits inconsolable in the hospital chapel, the last encounter she expects is a fervent entanglement with an otherworldly being, as passions increase she learns for the first time in her life the true meaning of out of this world. In the second, Sarah meets a new lover after telling him all her intimate fantasies in an internet chat room. And, the final story concerns the journey a young woman takes, as a Dominant offers to show her the ropes, in exchange for her submission via BDSM.

Here is a link for a short excerpt from The Stranger which is the first story in the book, read by myself on audioboo.

Cover art & graphics:

The cover of the book is from a painting by an artist friend of mine that is based in Cork, Ireland. His name is Alan Hurley. I have had only fabulously positive comments about the cover and hope to use Alan again in future. The picture is also available to buy as a print from his gallery. Alan has some absolutely beautiful paintings please visit his page and choose some for yourself.

 

I have two signed prints gracing my living room walls, an original watercolour taken from my avi photograph on Twitter and this hangs in pride of place on my bedroom wall.

Alan also has a Blog here so please visit him here and see how his work progresses from an outline drawing to a full blown picture

The graphics were supplied by another good friend of mine, who is also an author Jon Fletcher who I did an interview for last year about my next book and a current WIP. Jon writes Science fiction and I believe I own ALL of his books. Check out Jon's blog and his author page to see more.
