chase is quickly becoming the one to read among erotica. he has an amazing talent at blending romance with the hot sensuality of raw sex. he walks the tightrope allowing you to love and to play. this is by far my favorite piece of his so far and you would be remiss to leave it off your to read list. chase is a story weaver and i am beyond eager to get my hands on his next masterpiece. do yourself a decadent favor and pick this wicked piece of awesomeness up. i promise you will not be disappointed.

 

Sharing Kate is a wonderfully well written erotic, yet very romantic and heart warming story. It's so refreshing to have a male author writing such beautiful thoughts and feelings. His characters are very relatable and lovable.

We follow the story of Carter through his thoughts and feelings of himself, his long time crush Talia and the love of his life Kate, who happen to be good friends and coworkers. Carter seems to have lost himself through bad relationships and heartache in the past and deems himself unworthy and incapable of having a lasting loving relationship. Then he finds Kate, the best thing that's ever come into his life. His love for her is apparent and their relationship blossoms for a while. His insecurities start creeping back into his mind and Kate seems to be unsatisfied.

When she finally fesses up and confronts him with what she wants, to swap partners with other couples, he finds himself being led down a road he's not sure he wants to go down. Sharing the love of his life with another man doesn't set well with him at all, but his love for Kate strengthens him to follow her down this strange and unknown path, but will it be enough?

Chase has done a fantastic job of pulling real feelings from Carter and inducing them into the hearts of his readers. Carter is a character whom is easy to fall in love with and will melt your heart and heat your passion to a raging inferno with his lust for Kate and we can't forget about Talia.

Steaming hot sex scenarios, that are very well written, will have you reaching for your special someone and possibly your lust and love will be rediscovered as well!

Five stars, hands down! Can't wait to read more of his work!

I admit this story made me a little bit anxious at first. I have written a story about "swinging" myself, and I remember being on an emotional roller-coaster ride when I was writing from the male "nice guy" character's POV. So, when I started to read this, I was really worried for Carter.
Despite reading and writing about so many dominating alpha males, I really do have a soft spot for nice guys! I wondered if this genuine, honest dude was going to have his heart twisted into a pretzel by the carnally experienced, aggressive, swinging Kate.
But Chase Boehner's masterful writing made me believe that a couple could swing/swap--while keeping their relationship healthy and close.
Kate proves to be a singular woman who never lets her man forget he's number one in her life--even when they're both coupling with other people.
It does also help that Carter ends up paired off on the first night of swapping with Talia, his long-time crush ... A treat he wasn't expecting to get from this arrangement.
And the final love/sex scene shows the love and tenderness between Kate and Carter, ending the story on a happy romantic note.
The writing throughout is excellent and exciting and detailed. Two scenes stood out for me: the "under the table" scene at the beginning, in the coffee shop (I loved Kate's daring spontaneity--wish I could be so bold in real life!). And it was all the more exciting due to the fact that Kate's BFF Talia was watching ...
The second scene was the "choosing" at the swinger's party. Carter, blindfolded, has to "control" his release until he's caressed by the female hand of his crush ... A brilliant and deliciously original scene.

Author Spotlight with Mark Davis: Poet, Author

Welcome readers to another Author Spotlight. Today we have the multi-talented Mark Davis over for a quick peek into his erotic world. Check out his links, read some poetry and steam up glasses. Once again, settle in, lower the lights, sip your wine slowly and savor the taste rolling over your tongue as you will savor the erotic musing of Mark Davis. Cheers, Chase

 

 

1.) What is Erotica as defined by you?

 

Erotica for me can be anything, not just words. Pictures, clothes, shoes, music, words. All used together or separately than can excite and tease a person’s mind. Let them experience things that they only dream about.

 

 

2.) In your bio you mention sharing stories, fantasies and poems with friends and being encouraged. Was sharing with friends an easy transition or was there some dread beforehand as you confessed to that first friend?

 

The first time I pushed the send button on anything erotic I had my heart in my mouth. The response however was swift and my heart returned to its rightful place. However the very candid reply soon sent the blood running south as my friend described her full reaction to the writing.

 

 

3.) You do something quite unique; you take erotic requests and write custom poems to them. How did this start and can you describe the feeling of your words making someone's fantasy a written reality?

 

It is hard to do too many requests but I love it. It started when I found I was writing too many of the same genre and I asked a friend to give me two words or a picture. That soon started to words flowing in all directions. I love hearing that on receipt of their gift it sends a lot of them straight to their room.

 

 

4.) Can you give us a glimpse into your publishing plans and drop us a few tasty hints on content?

 

I am about to release a book of poems with Bitten Press, Poet Mark Davis Erotic Midnight Musings. Volume one Domination. There will be six volumes in all covering all genres including Paranormal.

Lessons for Steve is a 10k short story about the introduction of Steve to the BDSM lifestyle. This is also with Bitten Press

 

  

5.) Do you have any writing rituals?

 

I write on my Ipad then email it to myself. Poems I write as the inspiration hits. Stories I have to plan my time better.

 

 

6.)  What poem or story that you have written holds the most significant emotional connection to you?

 

There is a part of me in them all. I have also written tributes for close friends and family members who have passed away in poetry form and I find them very emotional to write.

Review Spotlight from Chase Boehner On Kamarovsky's Girl

http://www.amazon.com/Kamarovskys-Short-Provocative-Erotica-ebook/dp/B00CLZD4F0/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Intimate and Inviting

This story flows like liquid from the lips that read it and down inside to saturate you essence with each remembrance, old and new, from Chloe as the events in her life, both past and present and not yet encountered play like a finely tuned piano before you. The words make you delight in the ecstasy and revel in each new ray of illuminating light that sheds another peak into Chloe's upturned world. Another fabulous installment from this author, and another piece of the puzzle fits into place.

Again dear readers, Elizabeth Woodham's Short, Provocative erotica has been featured on my blog before and the reason is simple. This is what I consider superior erotica. It teases and tantalizes but also engages your mind in a deeper, more intimate experience than you would normally find in an erotic short. This is a not down and dirty erotica but a full immersion in which all your senses are involved to create a total experience. This is erotica evolved.

Take Care All, Chase

Writerly Advice from Editor Trish Owens

Hello Readers, Today I am welcoming Editor Trish Owens over for a quick Q&A. This should be a great read for all budding and established authors. There will certainly be things you know, but I am quite sure there may be many gems hidden inside that will help you along your writing career. Pull up your seat, take a deep, slow sip from your oversized coffee mug, and enjoy a fun and informative post with something for everyone.

Cheers, Chase

 

1.) What is GMC?

 GMC is a term coined eons ago (I don't want to credit the wrong person and get in trouble) revolving around the Goals, Motivations, and Conflicts of your characters. GMC really makes the difference between boring and exciting in a story. If you use the Wizard of  Oz as a discussion point, Dorothy's first goal is to get to the Emerald City, her motivation is to go home, and her conflict is each stumbling block that is presented along the Yellow Brick Road. 

GMC can change throughout a story, too. Half-way through the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's goal changes to focus on getting the witch's broom. Motivations can change as well. She was motivated to throw water at the witch because the witch was going to set Scarecrow on fire. Dorothy didn’t realize the witch would melt, so without that motivation she wouldn’t have gotten the job done.

Conflict can be internal and external. Dorothy’s internal conflict would be her inability to accept that there is more to home than meets the eye. Her external conflict is how she’s going to get there. If you remember, she wasn’t able to go home until she solved her internal conflict. J Pretty snazzy.

2.) As an editor what are the most common mistakes you see in a self-published authors work?

 The most common mistakes I see in self published works are common typos or grammar errors the eye easily passes over when it's your own work. When you read that sentence, you know the word is supposed to be there so it's easily glossed over. I bet if you comb through this post you will find errors. J I feel it's important to have someone review your story with a critical eye to catch what you missed. If you’re self-publishing, I strongly suggest you hire an editor to review your work so readers are purchasing a quality book. If you’re traditionally published, your editor will thank you and will be eager to buy more books because you’re professional and easy to work with.

Self-editing tips:

·         Review grammar and spelling rules. Strunk and White’s Elements of Style is an awesome grammar book to add to your shelf.

·         Change your font before re-reading. It makes the story look different to the eye and mistakes are suddenly easier to see.

·         Go old school and make a print copy to correct.

·         Read your work aloud. You can catch a lot of errors that way, including sentences that don't flow well. 

·         When you edit, start at a random spot, like in the middle, or toward the end. Eyes get tired, and if you’re reading to the same spot accurately and then blowing over the rest, you’ll miss mistakes in the back of your story.

·         Some people read the story backwards. I’ve never done this, but give it a try.

 

3) What is the importance of POV?

 Point of view (POV) is an important part of any story. Have you ever watched a movie with really bad camera work? Maybe the camera bounces from character to character very quickly without giving the viewer a chance to focus. Your POV is your camera angle for your story, only you get to go one step deeper and hear internal dialogue as well. If you jump from character to character it's hard to focus on who is speaking and thinking. I don't mind a POV change mid-scene, especially during sex scenes, but hopping rapidly from head to head makes it hard to get deep into the flow of the story. I feel the rule of thumb is to stay in the POV of the character with the most at stake. 

You’re probably aware of the different points of view used. I prefer past third, which is most directly in the heroine/hero's thoughts without being in first person. You can get the deepest into the character's soul without rambling (sometimes first person can get verbose.) Some genres, like Young Adult and New Adult tend to like first person and there’s a rash of stories told in alternating point of view. It needs to be really clear whose brain you’re in when you use first person or it’s frustrating.

 

4) What is a common editorial pet peeve?

 I don't know if my pet peeves are common, but here they are. I have several words that are like nails on a chalkboard for me. Body, move and felt all give me shivers of the bad kind. They're all vague, passive and overused. Example: He moved his body against hers and it felt good. Ugh. Better: He shoved deeper, twisting his hips so his pubic bone hit her clit. She moaned and arched her back, her fingers digging into his ass. 

I hate passive writing. If you’re using had or was it’s probably passive. Involve the reader with past tense verbs. Crappy example: She was sad. Better example: Sadness gripped her heart and wrenched, ripping a hole in her chest. Okay, that was cheesy, but it’s better than the first one.

I hate rejecting authors. I want nothing more than to read your submission and to buy it. So do your absolute best to give me something to pitch to my senior editor!

5) What is your viewpoint on new authors seeking out advice to improve their writing?

 It's great if new authors are looking to improve and it shows they’re truly committed to their craft and giving their readers the best they can offer. Everyone has room for improvement, no matter how many books they've published. Some people work well with books. I like James Frey’s How To Write A Damned Good Novel for learning about great dialogue and other crucial story components.

I am a fan of Romance Writers of America. They do a great job of teaching new authors the ropes as well as supporting established authors. Finding a GOOD critique group is a great way to get feedback, as are beta readers.

6) I know within the first five pages if it's going to be a story I'll consider buying. I might thumb ahead and see if things get better, but it’s usually fairly clear. You may not be submitting to an editor, but many book sellers offer a free portion of your book to sample. You want to hook these readers into clicking buy when they hit the end of your sample.

·         Start with a great opening hook.

·         Begin your story with the pivotal moment in a character’s life that sparks change. This will get the reader involved and invested in your characters and their plight.

·         Avoid unnecessary back story. A lot of stories start with extra details you just don’t need, or can be filtered into the story later for more insight.

·         Dialogue is crucial for moving your story forward. Make sure it’s not boring, every day dialogue but a conversation that really sparks the reader into wanting to know more.

·         Is it formatted correctly? Spell-checked? Are the verbs active instead of passive? Is the point of view clear and concise? Nothing says professionalism like a clean, edited, formatted manuscript.

7) What is your opinion on self-publishing vs. traditional publishing?

That’s a great question There are pros and cons to both venues. With traditional publishing, you have the editing staff, cover artist and marketing director on your side, helping you. Most publishers have a way to get your books to reviewers for consideration. You still have to promote your work, though. Gone is the day where you sit at home and write while the publisher takes out glossy ads. The downsides are contract stipulations, getting paid a lower royalty, and the potential of getting a dud of a publisher. Do your homework; go with someone who is established with a good reputation. Ask questions about the contract and get a lawyer to review it if you’re unsure.

Self publishing gives you complete control for your product and higher royalty rates. However, you’re a one-person band, and that control can detract from your writing time. Your cover still sells your book, despite being a digital society. A great blurb is a must, good editing very crucial. It’s nice to have a professional formatter create files to gift readers or deliver to reviewers. Those services cost money to produce a great product for readers. You’ll have to hunt down reviews on your own, and a lot of reviewers won’t consider an indie book unless it’s been professionally edited. Then you have to promote yourself and your work.

My suggestion? Try to get in with a publisher first. When you consider the expense needed to turn out a quality product you can charge more than a few bucks for, it’s worth taking a reduced royalty rate until you learn the business and get a following going. I would suggest writing a ton of books, submitting to a few different houses to get readers from different venues, and create a following. THEN, when you have a little money and a readership begging for more, go for the self-published books and see what happens.

8) What is the best advice for authors?

·         Write the book of your heart. What’s popular now might be dead when you finish, so writing what you love is a smarter choice.

·         Finish up and start another book instead of revising the same one over and over.

·          You’re probably not going to have an instant best seller, but you can earn a good living by having a nice backlist for readers to devour.

·         Submit to publishers and listen to their advice if they give it.

·         Give yourself a goal with every book—expanding conflict, better dialogue, more emotion, adding adventure, different point of view.

·         Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself. Write because you love it, not to earn money.

·         Lastly, don’t give up.

I've worked with TWRP since 2007 and enjoy helping authors take their books to the next level. I love all genres of writing from BDSM to sweeter erotic romance. Hot stories with kink sell the best, and readers seem to love cowboys and military men, but don't let that limit your imagination!
