Hello Gabbi!  Thank you so much for visiting Written Butterfly with me today!  It’s such a pleasure to chat with you.  So tell me…

Q) Is your book part of a series?  If so, can you tell us about it?

My Past, Your Future is part of The Wild Rose Press’ Deerbourne Inn series.  The series takes place in the fictional Vermont town of Willow Springs.  Each book involves a member of the town and a guest at the inn.  My guest is a visiting history professor from

Scotland, visiting the local cemeteries to glean the stories of the inhabitants.  He meets a Civil War soldier who happens to be a ghost.

Q) What type of research did you do for your book?

My ghost is a black Civil War soldier, so there was plenty of research involving the war and a black soldier’s place in it.  My character was a free man in the north who felt it was his duty to fight to free the slaves in the south.  He died in a conflict in the Carolinas and now haunts the cemetery in his hometown.  I also did research into Scotland, as I wanted a history professor from another country.  I have a thing for the Scots.

Q) Do you have a writing quirk, or habit when you write?

I write while sitting in Starbucks with my trusty chinpoo therapy dog at my feet.  She’s a bit of a celebrity with the clientele in the store, was even chosen as customer of the week once.

 Q) What do you think is your strongest asset as a writer? …what is your weakest factor as a writer?

My weakest factor is self-editing.  I love to write but struggle with the editing part of the work.  I know it’s important and have spent a lot of time learning how to make the manuscript the best it can be before I hand it over to the professionals.  My strongest asset is my versatility.  This book is a paranormal gay erotic romance.  I have written books that are sweet without any sex, contemporary with mild heat, and erotic.  I enjoy writing vanilla books and BDSM.  I have every pairing out there, including a short story in a charity anthology that is a lesbian love story.  I am a firm believer in love in all shapes and sizes and my characters always get a happy ending.

Q) What are your upcoming projects?

I have written another gay romance for The Wild Rose Press and have a BDSM dark erotic in edits with them as well.  I can’t wait to share these stories with readers




About My Past, Your Future:
Callum MacLaren, a professor from Scotland, visits Willow Springs, Vermont during the Winter Solstice to study and explore the rich history of St. Joseph's Cemetery. His encounter with a sexy soldier in a tattered Civil War uniform is a captivating puzzle, and the more he learns, the deeper his attraction.

A hundred and fifty years ago, Elijah Freeman was killed during the Second Battle of Fort Wagner and woke up in Willow Springs, the only home he'd known. Alone, he roams the town, unable to leave or interact with a single soul until an intriguing Scot addresses him. Even stranger, the man can see him, hear him, and touch him--a sizzling caress that leaves Elijah aching for more.

But will Elijah return to his ghostly form when the magic of the solstice fades, or is Callum's love enough to keep him in the land of the living? Genre: M/M Paranormal Erotic Romance

Excerpt My Past, Your Future:
“I’m not sure I have many answers.” And Elijah wasn’t. He’d figured a few things out over the years, but much of it was contradictory and nonsensical. Still, he relaxed a little, no longer on edge. 

“Well, let’s start with you being able to touch people and them able to touch you.” As if experimentally, he placed his hand on Elijah’s. “You’re cold. Are you always cold, or is it the weather?” 

Elijah cleared his throat. This was the first human touch he’d had in years, and it affected him more than he’d ever imagined. Not that he’d spent a lot of time wondering because he’d assumed it’d never happen. Should he have tried earlier, or was it, as he suspected, only this man? 

Please don’t let go of my hand. 

Cautiously, he curled his fingers, holding on tighter. 

Callum reciprocated. 

“As for temperature. I don’t understand. I don’t feel cold now, and I don’t feel hot in the summer. And summers around here can be brutal, despite how far north we are.” 

Callum nodded. “Edinburgh, where I’m from, can get warm in the summer. But we’re closer to the northern point of the country, so it’s temperate as opposed to oppressive.” 

His thumb caressed the juncture where Elijah’s thumb met his finger, and little zings shot through him. Like the sound he associated with the electric lights when they turned on at dusk. Of course, the whole concept of electricity was beyond him.

About the Author: I live surrounded by trees, raccoons, deer, and other woodland creatures, on a mountain in beautiful British Columbia where my fur baby chin poo keeps me safe from nasty bears. Working for the government by day, I spend my nights writing contemporary, gay, sweet, and dark erotic BDSM romances…and while I firmly believe in happy endings, I also believe in making my characters suffer before finding their true love.

Flashback Friday ... Winning Love on a Bet


Ember has not had an easy life.  She takes care of her alcoholic mother by holding down two jobs and rarely has time for anything else.  When a rich young man asks her on a date she happily says yes to a free meal.  However, instead of dinner, she becomes the bet in a game of pool. 


Saber is the hustler who just won her, but instead of feeling threatened, she feels attracted to the obvious bad boy in leathers and tattoos.  As the night wears on she falls more and more under his spell until they can’t keep their hands off each other.  But Saber’s hustled one too many people and now Ember’s date wants his money back…one way or another.

“My name is Saber.”


“Really?  That’s your name?”


“That’s the name I go by.  What’s your name?”


“Ember.”


He smiled, his lips curling on the ends to give him that devil look.  “Is that really your name?”


Something deep inside her flared to life, and before she realized what she was saying, her answer came out a bit flirty.  “It’s what I go by.”


He laughed and linked their fingers together.  Heat traveled from their touch, up her arm, to infuse her whole body.  Holy moly. Just touching the man made her panties wet.  Who the hell was this man that he could turn her on by just a look or touch?  Lust rolled through her, and she saw the answering need in his gaze.


“I knew it’d be like this,” he whispered.  “The first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew we’d be explosive.”


“You hustled him for money—”


“I hustled him for you,” he corrected.


“Do you … do this a lot?”

“Hustle poor little rich boys?  Yes.  And I’m damn good at it.  But I’ve never wanted anything or anyone as bad as I wanted you.”

The Evernighties Blog Challenge - Week 9


Diet before summer? How seriously?

Is this like when people make a New Year's resolution?

Maybe when I was in my twenties I'd consider a diet before summer. After all, it was far more easier to lose weight back then. Since I'm on the far side of forty, the weight seems to have adopted me, vowing never to leave again.

The truth is, I don't believe in diets. Diets work on immediate gratification of controlling what goes in the mouth, but as soon as the motivate is gone, so is the will power to restrict calories. True, there are some altruistic people out there who thrive on salads and water. Or people whose livelihood depends on how many bones are sticking out. (models, movie stars, etc) I have no doubt those people either 1) have great discipline to stick to a diet and/or 2) have enough money to have coaches to keep them on track.

But I am not any of those people.

I have a real life, where I work on my feet for 8-10 hours a day. I have a teenager who loves French fries. I have a husband who, despite being diabetic, loves sweets. I am constantly on the go, so when I get the few moments to sit down I have no desire to hit a gym. The most I do is try to watch what I eat, and avoid too many empty caloric choices.

Diets are a fad, and there are many fads out there that cost money. The real thing that people need is learning HOW to eat. For instance, Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. Yes, technically, it might be a diet, but it's also teaching people nutrition, and that's way more important than a fad diet that disappears in the blink of an eye. (And let me say that I'm not endorsing either of those programs, I was using them as an example)

Mayhem Blurb

For years, I’d been on a quest
To find the men who killed my father.
We trusted them
And respected them
Because they were family.
But they signed their death warrants the day they betrayed us.
One by one, I’ve made them all pay for their sins.
Revenge drove me to this place of darkness.
But when I pulled the trigger that last time,
Finally putting an end to the hunt,
I sealed my own fate
And committed a worse sin.

No matter the path, her stories will take you on a journey from the lighthearted paranormal to dark things unspeakable. What waits around the corner? Come explore…

A look into...
~ About the Series ~

* Nestled within the hills of central Texas is a special ranch. A place that defies the laws of physics—that of time, space, and dimensions. It’s a place where normal morphs with the paranormal and supernatural. A place that seems to know what a person’s true desires and needs are, and then allows the right circumstances to occur to fulfill those wishes.

* Welcome to the Gateway Ranch.

* Your gateway to all things possible…

~ About the Book ~

Katrina Foster has survived a life no one dreams about and most don’t want to know about. Escaping to a ranch in Texas she used to visit during the summers of her childhood and rekindling an old relationship with Dakota Remington, she hopes to leave the nightmare of her past behind her. At first, all seems well, but when strange things begin to happen, she wonders if history’s about to repeat itself.

Dakota Remington has devoted his life to working at Gateway Ranch. He’s excited when Kat, his former sweetheart, returns and looks forward to reuniting with her. He finds she’s changed, though, and he’s not sure if it’s for the better. But he’s up for the challenge of the puzzle that is Kat.


~ Excerpt ~

The hard composite of her firearm shifted against her lower back.

Well, if push comes to shove, I can protect myself. I’ll shoot the bastard if he shows up and tries anything.

Eventually, her nerves calmed enough so she could move without feeling ill.

She rose and stripped out of her clothes, put her weapon on the counter, then stepped into the shower. The hard and hot spray beat on her, helping her to feel something other than worry about potential rumors or her ex finding her. Kat bowed her head, placed her hands above the faucets. The water sluiced down her hair, cascaded in wide streams over her back. More time passed. Relaxed and clear headed, she finished her shower and was about to open the door when a thud and click sounded on the other side.

Gripping the towel wrapped around her body, she snatched her weapon, opened the door, and cautiously looked out into the room.

Dakota lounged on the bed, one leg bent, his hat propped on that leg’s knee. His hair stuck up in clumpy spikes. He ran a dirty hand through his dark brown locks.

Kat released a pent-up breath, lowered her weapon, and placed the Glock on a counter next to the bathroom door. “How’d you get in here?”

Tired eyes gazed at her. “I’m manager on duty while the Taggerts are away, ’member? Got a bunch of master keys.” Dak held up the ring of them. “You okay? When you didn’t come back, I got worried.”

“I’m fine. I think the humidity got to me. Along with the dirt.”

“Sure. The humidity. You tell me that you’re afraid a man is going to come after you, or rather us. We hear about the vehicle. You turn white as one of our ghosts and run off. Who was in the car, Kat?”

“Hell if I know. I’ve been with you all day. I didn’t see the fancy black car or who was in it.”

“You don’t have a clue as to who was in the car? I’m not buying it.”

“Buy it or don’t.” She crossed her arms over her stomach. “I really don’t know. It could have been Nero. It could have been his goons. It could have been a neighbor of yours or one of the party guests Kent mentioned. I. Wasn’t. There. I. Didn’t. See.”

Dakota flung himself off the bed and slammed the hat on his head. “Get dressed. You’ll come with me while I get cleaned up then we’ll go hang out in the rec hall.”

“You know what, Dak? I appreciate the Boy Scout approach, and how you’re trying to get a merit badge for babysitting, but all I want is to lie down and take a nap.”

“Kat, please. I’m hot, dirty, and tired. I don’t want to argue.” He strode to the door. “Get dressed so we can get going.” His gaze flashed darkly, roamed over her with an appraising glance. A slow grin tipped up the corner of his lips.

Flashback Friday ... Second Chance at Love


When Alannah’s husband tells her she’s boring and he doesn’t want to be married to her anymore she spirals into a world of hurt and confusion.  She decides to go back to her hometown in Missouri to figure out where she lost the confident girl she used to be.  


Speeding into town, she’s pulled over by her old best friend, Skylar Randall, now the town sheriff.  He’s still mad at her for leaving twelve years ago without a word of good-bye.  But suddenly Sky isn’t just her high school friend anymore, he’s morphed into a man who goes after what he wants, and he’s just declared he wants her. 


But Sky’s private world is one full of bondage and in trying to silence the doubts in her head, he will tie her up as long as it takes for her realize that what she really left behind was faith, hope and whole lot of kisses.

Be Warned: BDSM, anal sex

“Ladies,” he greeted in a soft, super seductive voice.  How’d he pack such a panty wetting inflection in one word?


Alannah listened to her companions fumbling for something coherent to say and failing miserably.  It would’ve made her laugh except she suspected she’d be in the same boat if she opened her mouth.  So instead, she rose, grabbed her empty plate and walked away, making a beeline for the nearest trash can before heading off into the woods for a quick walk to get her equilibrium back.


It was almost surreal being back here, hearing the splashes and laughter from the partygoers.  She knew once night fell that a bonfire would go up and everyone would settle around with beers and blankets to swap stories.  Some would head off for a little privacy.  Some wouldn’t give a shit about privacy.


“Having fun?” Sky asked from behind her, startling her so bad she almost tripped.


His arms caught her around her stomach and hauled her back just in time, and she sagged in relief until she felt all of him touching all of her.  Good god almighty, there wasn’t padding under those clothes.  His chest cradled her back and his groin fit in the curve of her ass.  And then, holy moly…his cock went from relaxed to hard in the blink of an eye.  He was poking her.  Literally.


All the breath swooshed from her and before she realized what she was doing, she’d wiggled her ass against him.  She was rewarded with a groan right before Sky bent over to nuzzle his nose against the curve where her neck met her shoulder.  His breath was warm and it tickled the fine hair at her nape.  Her libido began to hyperventilate, her mouth began to salivate, and suddenly all she wanted to do was turn around and ride him into next Sunday.


Holy shit.  Where’d that thought come from?


Panicking just a little, because he used to be her best friend, she pulled away and spun, panting like she’d just run a marathon.  His blue eyes were deep and stormy and they looked at her with good old-fashioned lust.  She felt an answering need pulse through her clit so she silently gave it a warning to back the fuck down.  This was Sky…  She couldn’t possibly want to fuck him.  Could she?

What is/was your favorite get-away with your special loved one?


I am a very lucky woman. I met my husband online, and the first time I saw him, I knew instantly that he was The One. We dated for about 9 months, lived together for 2 years, and we married this past May. 

One of our favorite things to do is hike. Our honeymoon was spent hiking in Arches National Park. We've been all throughout Southern Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. This whole introduction led to me say that my favorite get-away was on one of our trips. Although I've enjoyed many of our trips, here are my top three: 

1) The Arizona/Utah Adventure (see the video HERE )
2) Goldstrike Hot Springs (see video HERE )
3) Kanarraville Falls in Utah (no video)

Hiking might not seem like a romantic get-away, but for me and Mike, it's a special time we can drive away from everything pressing in around us and simply enjoy each other's company. 




When the stock market crashes on October 29, 1929, it doesn’t take long for Ruby Talcott to lose everything. Her father’s shipping legacy slips through her fingers. Alone, destitute, she packs up her two best friends Eden and Merridie, and takes them to England for a new life.

Working in her family’s warehouse of unclaimed cargo, she foils a plot to steal a map. But this isn’t just any map…it’s to a lost pirate treasure. Ruby takes the map for herself and convinces Eden and Merridie to go with her to find the priceless treasure.

She finds Captain Sinclair Dardon, a man also hit hard by the economic turn, to sail them towards adventure. But Ruby didn’t count on her wild attraction to the handsome Captain. Nor did she expect he has his own bad guys hunting him.

Excerpt:
She was vaguely aware her mouth dropped open. Before her wasn’t the typical scruffy-bearded, dirty boat captain. This man was young. And handsome. More butterflies fluttered in her stomach. He had short black hair that looked like he’d been running his fingers through it in aggravation. He needed a shave, but Ruby rather thought his slight whiskers enhanced his looks rather than detracted. Although he looked tough, he had kind eyes––blue maybe, or green. It was hard to tell in the muted lantern light. He was tall, muscular, and when their gazes met her heart stuttered in her chest.

My name is Sin,” he said, introducing himself, although his gaze stayed locked upon her.

“Literally or figuratively?” Merridie asked dryly.

He winked at her. “Captain Sinclair Dardon. Who are you, and how may I help you?”

“I’m Ruby Talcott, and that’s Merridie Morgan and Eden Cariker. We need passage to Africa,” Ruby said, ignoring the odd excitement gripping her insides. Now was not the time to get distracted by a pretty face. Oh, but that was easier said than done, especially once he turned those hypnotizing eyes back her way.

“Why do you think I can help?”

“The registry office has you listed as heading to Africa this morning. We just need a ride.”

“I’m not a passenger ship.”

“We won’t be passengers,” Ruby insisted. “We can earn our way.”

The way his gaze traveled up and down her body had her blood heating up and leaving little doubt to what was going through his lascivious mind.

“This isn’t a whorehouse either,” he stated.

Excerpt

In silence, Embry and I watched as the others moved to help their fallen friend. 
“We have the element of surprise. We could—”
“No.” I cut off his comment. We weren’t savages and attacking the men wouldn’t solve our problems.
“Lindy, you’re being unreasonable.” Embry growled, a deep rumble in his chest that caused the humans to grow still and silent, their eyes now turned in our direction.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
“What was that?” one man called out.  
“You all heard that growl, right?”
Several men nodded. 
I flicked my gaze left then right, looking for our best means of escape. “Idiot,” I said, but Embry was no longer listening. He crouched low to the ground, his paws digging into the earth as he readied to strike. 
“Don’t you dare.”
The humans all turned to one another, aware of our presence and uncertain of what to do. I crouched beside him, my body pressed up against his side. “Don’t do this.” I nudged Embry with my nose, urging him to retreat. 
We could disappear deeper into the forest, leave the humans to their bidding. We’d already driven them off their intended course—away from the Den and our vulnerable. There was no need to remain now that the imminent risk had subsided. 
The humans approached together, their eyes wary and their weapons raised. Two others shouldered their fallen man and slowly made their retreat. 
What to do…
I scanned their numbers. One of the humans carried a bow. He stepped forward, his piercing eyes scanning every inch of his surroundings with cool efficiency. Unlike the other men, he didn’t smell of fear. Darker skinned and with a militant stance, he didn’t have any nervous ticks either. Trepidation flooded through my me. He was an outsider and something told me he was the one we needed to be wary of.
“There are only four of them,” Embry said, following my train of thought.
“That doesn’t matter. We can’t—”
He lunged.
Damn us all to hell—I lunged after him, unwilling to leave him to fight alone.
