Kate has a few words to share with you today. Take it away Katherine.

Thanks so much for having me over today, Patricia. I am so excited to be a part of the most amazing box set! There are so many amazing authors in this set.

I’m sharing a bit from my story, Dancing With a Dom.  It’s a 15K novella about a BBW [Big Beautiful Woman] divorced woman, who tries out for a televised dancing competition to get past the pain of her ex-husband’s hurtful comments and cheating.

This one is a little different than my usual stories. I still included the romance and a slightly cheesy ending, but I veered a bit from there, going a little sexier than I usual do. 😉

And I wrote my female main character’s voice in first person. Like I said, I tried something new. And I really enjoyed it.

In the following scene, Macy is having a little bit of trouble keeping dance partners. Dane takes charge quickly.

The head dude in charge loomed above me, for a few minutes. Waiting for me to make up my mind, I guess. Since I couldn’t go invisible, I had to face him. I straightened and acknowledged him with an embarrassed grimace.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know what got into me. I’m not usually like this.” Why I pleaded my case before this stern-faced man I don’t know. But I did. Maybe I didn’t want him to think I was a bully. I certainly felt like one.

“When’s the last time you ate?”

Of all the questions he could have asked me—where are you from, why are you so angry, are you married, why did you make my dancer cry—this one caught me off guard.

“I…”

“Have you taken a break since you started this morning?”

“No, sir.” Where did that come from? Great, I was falling for the big, stern daddy type. All right, spank my bottom like the naughty girl I am. Just please don’t send me to bed hungry.

The corner of his mouth quirked up.

Oh God, did I say that out loud? I waited for the universe to swallow me whole, as my whole body overheated with embarrassment.

“Here’s what’s going to happen.” He took my hand, and propelled me toward the door. “We’re going to head over to the deli and get something in your stomach. Then we’re going to talk about what’s going on in your head. And then I’m going to turn you over my knee and spank you for being so mean to my favorite employee.”

Okay, we had a plan. A course of action for the day. A full list with everything laid out— “Wait, what did you say?”

Leaning in with a toothy grin, he pulled me closer to him. “You heard me the first time. I’m going to spank your ass, naughty girl.”

Well, that made my panties wet.

Blurb for Dancing with a Dom:

What do ballroom dancing, hard spankings, and mind-blowing orgasms have in common? I guess it depends who your dance partner is. The man smiling down at me, with his hand on my waist… he’s a Dom. And he wants to be mine this Valentine’s Day.

wrens redemption_fullI’ve known Katherine Deane for a couple of years now, and her upbeat nature and passion for everything in her life–from family, to crafts, to writing–sparkles with every word out of her mouth (or from her pen). With this book, Wren’s Redemption, Katherine takes us into the world of gymnastics, where a fall from grace is only an incriminating photo away. I hope you’ll read the following spotlight for this wonderful book. I know that if you do, you’ll want to get yourself a copy.

Katherine wrote this introduction:

Thanks so much for having me over today, Trish! I am very excited about this new book. Wren’s Redemption isn’t only about a gymnast who lost her way, or a coach who will do anything to help her succeed. It’s also about reconnecting, trusting again, finding love, and finally, forgiveness.

Jonathan has beaten himself up for years, after watching Wren’s fall from grace. And now she is adding to the drama with a very difficult dismount. Neither one is prepared for the outcome.

Here’s the back cover description:

Nineteen-year-old gymnast Wren Montgomery was America’s golden girl, but then it all came crashing down. As far as the media is concerned, it was a devastating ankle injury which began her downward spiral, but in her heart Wren knows better. The truth is that things started going wrong the day her beloved coach Jonathan Reilly not only rejected her romantic advances, but actually spanked her bare bottom as if she were a silly little girl when she tried to hide her heartbreak behind an angry outburst.

Now at twenty-two, after one poor decision after another Wren has become the “bad girl” of the gymnastics world. Desperate to break out of her slump and with nowhere else to turn, she decides to accept help from the best coach she ever had… the same man who spurned and then spanked her years ago.

Jonathan watched Wren’s fall from grace, and he fell with her. He still blames himself for leaving the team—and more importantly, leaving her—and now that he has the chance to help his little rebel get back on track, he isn’t going to let it slip through his fingers. This time he’ll be there for her no matter what, both when she needs a loving embrace and when she needs a firm hand applied to her bare bottom. Most important of all, if she still wants him to be more than just her coach, this time he won’t let anything keep him from claiming what is his.

Publisher’s Note: Wren’s Redemption is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

And here’s an exciting excerpt:

Goddamnit, she was going to try an F dismount. Jonathan released the anxious breath he held as she twirled over the top bar, preparing for the difficult dismount. He could see it in her determined eyes, as if the flash of defiance she had scathed him with right before she started, wasn’t enough. He crept out of her peripheral vision and stood to the side of the bar. He would give her the space she needed. He’d catch her if she fell. And damn it to hell, he was going to blister her ass after the meet was over.

Gripping the top bar firmly, her form was aggressive with each rotation and release. Two more, baby, don’t miss the bar. Tighten your core. Come on. Her final swing forward wasn’t enough to get her the momentum she needed for the difficult dismount. He was going to have to work on her lower body and core strength later. After he paddled her bottom redder than the advertisement for home grown apples hanging loosely in the rafters.

Swinging a little too erratically, she released the bar and flipped backwards.

She was supposed to twist 720 degrees on her axis and keep her legs bent for a full tuck until she landed. But she wasn’t in control as she released. Shit. Her legs untucked and her arms flailed wildly as her body hurtled right toward the judges table and the wide eyed competitors awaiting their turn.

He froze. For two seconds, he couldn’t breathe, he couldn’t move. He could do nothing but stand there, petrified, as the small blur of purple flashed right in front of him.

To buy Wren’s Redemption, head over to Amazon.

book gourmetWelcome back to The Book Gourmet, your weekly look at books and a little bit about my current events.

Tag lines to tickle your tastebuds.

My Vacation in Rio (as yet unpublished – by Patricia Green): Things can get deadly fast in a dream.

Designing Woman (by Elaine Raco Chase): A Saint becomes fascinated with a sinner.

cover: coach's disciplineSecond Course – The Appetizer

Are you an exercise enthusiast? No? (Me, either, though I really love sports.) Maybe romance books are more your thing. (Mine, too.) If you like spanking romances, then I have one for you. It’s The Coach’s Discipline by Katherine Deane. Published by Stormy Night Publications, it was released last July. It tells the story of Claire Jacobs, marathon runner, who finds herself a coach of a different kind – the spanking kind. Their love affair will keep you entertained for hours. It has a five star rating on Amazon, on 24 reviews. Pick it up here. (Also available as an Audible book.)

Third Course – The Entrée

Continuing on with my focus on the Romantek series, the last one published was Eddie, My Love. It tells the story of Eddie and June, who meet and fall in love in a dream, while solving a murder mystery. It’s fun, set in the 1950s, and will pull you right along with the couple as they play gritty detectives of the film noir variety.

Here’s one of its five star Amazon reviews:

cover: eddie my love“I really and truly enjoyed this Romantek adventure. The story was great along with the adventure, romance and just the right amount erotica. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. It is a definite recommendation.” ~ TiltedHalo54 “deb” See the review here.

Thank you, Deb!

Fourth Course – The Dessert

I’ve begun working on a new book. This one’s a contemporary murder mystery, and involves some interesting people – drag queens. Our two detectives must work with them to find out whodunit. I don’t want to create caricatures of these colorful people, so I’m trying to pin a few down to interview them. It’s remarkably difficult to do, which sort of surprised me. Nevertheless, somehow, some way, I will make their experiences come to life on the pages of this book. The working title is currently, “Fallen Queen.” I’m hoping to sell this one to an entirely different publisher, one who likes erotic murder mysteries. But first, to write the thing!
