Hello, Jacey! Thank you so
much for visiting Written Butterfly with me today!
Thank you for having me. (:
Q) How did you dream up the dynamics of your characters?
Evernight Publishing has a great series called, Planet Alpha.
I wrote The Gathering with that
series in mind. When it came to the characters, the alien had to fit certain
guidelines and my other two characters were human so I felt I had a little
leeway. I like dystopian stories and scenarios. The characters just came to me.
A man who had just gotten out of the military… A woman scientist and inventor…
How would the two of them, who happened to be childhood friends, cope in a
dying world? How would they handle themselves if they were abducted? That’s
what came to my mind and what I ran with when I set out to write the story.
Q) Is this part of a series?
If so, tell us about it!
The Gathering
didn’t make it into the Planet Alpha series, but I was offered a Revise and
Resubmit. So, I reworked the story and made it the first in a new futuristic
series called, The Glorious Guild of Lady Windsurfer. This series has Nicola,
the scientist and inventor, as the leader of a group of her friends and family
members. Nicola is the narrator, and through her, readers can follow the tales
of the people and their relationships. The group works toward the common good
of man and for their own survival as they create new gadgets and explore
strange worlds they access via portals.
Q) What are your upcoming projects?
I have another Planet Alpha submission I’m waiting to hear
word on. I’m working on the next story in my series called The Agency. I also
have a couple more stories I’m working on for The Glorious Guild of Lady
Windsurfer series.

The year is 2112, and the world
has changed…
Jake Landry is
interested in having some fun. He’s in Las Vegas, newly single
and just off his most recent tour of duty. In Vegas he has met up with his old
friend Nicola Goodheart, a scientist and inventor who studies portals, other
worlds, and strange beings. Jake has also met and become enamored with
Alexander, a gorgeous man with violet eyes. Jake goes with Nic on a portal
finding mission, and they all end up in Alexander’s alien world.
Recruiter
Alexander Bloodworth is interested in Jake for himself and in Nicola for
placement in a pleasure house on his home planet of Aurath. When he hears word
one of his people’s enemies are after Nicola and Jake, he goes to save them
both, even at the peril of losing his job.
Will they risk
their hopes and dreams—Alexander and Jake for a chance at love and Nicola for
her career—or will they falter and lose everything anyway?
Be Warned: m/m
sex
Excerpt
“Frottage?”
Pleased the color
started to return to Alexander’s skin, Jake smiled and rubbed Alexander’s arm,
loving the way his brow knit together when he became perplexed. “It’s also
known as dry humping or sex without penetration. We can rub and grind on each
other to achieve an orgasm. It’ll get us over the hump.” He chuckled. “No pun
intended. It’ll get us by until we’re where we have access to protection.”
“Sounds acceptable
to me.” Alexander captured Jake’s mouth in another kiss and the only time he
stopped kissing him was to pull Jake’s shirt over his head.
They mimicked each
other’s touches—running their hands up each other’s smooth chests, tracing the
dips and curves of their muscles, enticing nipples. When Alexander latched onto
one of Jake’s hard nubs, Jake sucked in a stream of air. Alexander’s lips on
his body were like heaven and hell. Heaven because their silky touch sent
delightful vibes through him, and hell because whenever Alexander trailed down
toward his pulsing cock, he didn’t take it in his mouth or lick or kiss it.
“Come on,
Alexander. Quit teasing me.”
“What do you want me
to do? I want to hear it. Tell me.”
Alexander’s
rumbling commands sent more heat racing through Jake’s veins and down into his
cock. Jake didn’t know his dick could get harder than it already was, but it
had. He gazed straight into the alien’s stormy purple eyes. “I want you,
Alexander. I want you to take me in that beautiful mouth of yours. I want you
to suck me dry.”
The alien rose
from the couch and towered over Jake before he dropped to his knees in front of
him. Alexander reached out and grabbed the top of Jake’s pants, then yanked
them down and off his body. Jake’s cock stood, bobbing to and fro as he
resettled on the couch.
“Spread your legs,
Jake.”
