Scorpio Tattoo

By Jude Mason

Publisher: Phaze

Available, April 30, 2007


Blurb:

A tattoo is one of the most personal art forms that can adorn the flesh of a human. What happens when women are kidnapped and tattooed? What happens when those women die? And, what happens when the tattooist isn't alive? Jonathan Rorke searches for the answer these questions and others when his psychic talents lead him to the latest victim. Jessica Crane, latest victim, and the only one who's still alive. Why? Together, Jonathan and Jess have to find out who and why she's being tattooed, before her tattoo is finished and she becomes casualty number three.

Excerpt

Jonathan reached out with his senses, trying to feel if there was anything for her to be concerned about. Warmth, quiet, nothing unusual, but he could sense the memory was with her.

"Your room, please," she whispered.

He turned and without a word, took her to his room. A flick of the switch bathed the room in a bright wash of light. "I'll find you something to wear, just a sec," he said and went to his dresser. He rummaged around for a moment, and came up with a white cotton tank he figured would be long enough. Holding it up, he said, "Instant nightgown. What do you think?"

A smile played at the corners of her mouth and she reached out for the makeshift gown. "Bit short, don't you think," she said, holding it up against herself. The hem came to just below her crotch.

"Uh, yeah, but it's all I could come up with on short notice," he countered playfully. "I like it, if that counts."

She managed a soft chuckle. "Yeah, it does."

His smile broadened. "You get into that and I'll light a fire. Sound fair?"

"Yes, please. I've always dreamed of having a fireplace in my bedroom." She turned away and he watched her fumbling at her chest, unfastening buttons no doubt, and he moved to the fireplace.

"You can thank the ancestor who designed this place. Although, back then, these fireplaces were the only heat this place had, no such thing as central heating or furnaces." He kept a supply of wood ready in the woodbin beside the fireplace. He dug around until he found enough kindling to ensure it'd start smoothly, crumpled up a couple of pages of last weeks newspaper and set it in the wood cradle. He laced the cedar kindling across the paper, and then added a few small pieces of well dried maple. All the while, he kept hearing the rustle of her undressing and getting into the tank top he'd found. He was determined not to turn around, not to watch her, but the lust built and he was ready to chew nails by the time he'd put a match to the paper.

"Mm, nice."

Her voice came from right behind him. He let his senses run free and felt her there. He shuddered when he encountered a knot of excitement in her. Deep in her belly, another fire kindled much like the one he'd just set alight. She was aware of it, yet was unable to let it flare up—afraid perhaps that she was moving too fast. He felt her need to slow things down and he was determined to give her the time she needed.

"Why thank you, ma'am," he joked and turned around. His breath caught. She looked incredible. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Clearing his throat, he tried again, "Y-you're beautiful."

She blushed. The tank top fit her like a second skin; its low-cut U-neck barely covered her nipples. It didn't matter though, because they were clearly visible through the material, as puckered and erect as they had been when they'd made love. The hem of the shirt was just long enough to keep her decent, but he was below her. There was no escaping the sight of those few tendrils of black curls. Nor would he have wished there to be.

A stirring in his jeans, and the sudden moan he hadn't realized was coming, was sure to let her know how he felt.

"Thank you," she said, and crossed her arms under her breasts.

"You cold?" he asked, rising to retrieve his robe.

"No, the fire will get going soon. I'm fine."

"Why don't you climb into bed? I'll crawl in and lay with you."

'Okay," she murmured and turned her back on him.

The rear view was as good as the frontal. Soft, lush curves and long, shapely legs were a major weakness of his, and she had them in abundance. Her shoulders were a little wider than most women's, making her waist appear even slimmer. Her flared hips were perfectly wide and
her ass taut. And, from memory, he knew it was soft and she loved to have it stroked.

He was so lost in thought, that at first he didn't realize she'd climbed onto the bed and was sitting watching him. It wasn't until he sensed her passion rise that he focused on her. He was sure he blushed then.

"Penny for your thoughts," she said, and smiled.

He thought, what the hell, and asked, "You sure you want to know?" Cocking her head to the side, she looked at him as if judging what might happen. "Yeah, I want to know."

~*~Sring Fling~*~ WINNER and more are...

Loveyoudivine's Spring Fling was awesome fun. Tons of people showed up to chat all day, and there were great baskets to be won by some of the most amazing authors. Derek Musgrave and I chose to have a contest for ours and we got a huge number of participants. Our contest ran a week, giving everyone time to search out the answers, and the big winner for that contest is:

cathiecaffey tbranxiety@yahoo.com

Congratulations Cathie, I can't think of anyone I'd rather be sending this out to.

As some of you might know, I've also had two contests of my own going on in my newsie for the last week. One contest was to draw in new members and the other was to say thank you to those who have been around for some time. Some fantastic people have joined, and the only stipulation of the contests were if anyone wanted their names to go into the hat, they had to make at least one post. I didn't care if they told me a long story about their childhood or where they found the family dog, I just wanted them to post once. Well, the turnout was awesome and some of the posts had me in stitches, while others made me want to give the poster a hug. I'd just like to thank everyone for taking part. I hope our budding friendships blossom even further. Okay, down to business, the winner of the newbie contest is:

Julie escondita_06@yahoo.com

Congratulations Julie, and I hope your birthday was fantastic. Now, the winner of what became known as the old timers contest is someone I've gotten to know a little over the last while. She's a very cool lady and great fun. The winner of the old timers contest is:

Ruthie Ruthmurray2@aol.com

Congratulations Ruthie! I'm hoping to have more contests over the next while, so keep your eyes open.

Hugs
Jude

Phaze (my publisher) has a contest

Readers: Name a HeatSheet and Win!

Phaze was scintillating in 2005-06 with S, and is feeling fabulous this year with F. If reader response is any indication, we're expected to be even better by '08. This is why we're planning ahead, and why we have declared 2008 to be the Year of the Big O.

Yes, we're talking about that. And, to emphasize our appreciation for the Big O, all 2008 HeatSheets will begin with the letter O. It's going to be a long wait, but we guarantee it will be well worth it to read some of the hottest erotic romance centered around six different themes. If you're patient, and very good (or very bad, in the good way), you'll be treated to tales of gorgeous hunks and delightful heroines, kick-ass adventures and curious paranormal creatures. And, of course, lots of hot sex! January will be here before you know it, so you can plan the next year to collect all of the stories.

The Big O themes for 2008 are:

Overture - The hills (and valleys) are alive with the sound of music. Sensual strings play in harmony with erotic tales of melody and rhyme.
Obey - Submit to the hottest BDSM romance stories available. Do as you're told and enjoy the rope play, handcuffs, and hot wax...or else you'll get spanked!
Obsession - If you're looking for perfume or an 80s one-hit wonder song, keep moving. If you lust for an unattainable love or desire, let us show how to fulfill your dreams.
OZ - Welcome to new worlds where your deepest fantasies come true. Slide down the rainbow, slip through a crack in the time continuum, or simply check the wardrobe for the man, or woman, or both, of your dreams.
Oh! Oh! Oh! - Celebrate the holidays with Phaze. Sit on the right lap, or check the right stocking, and if you've been naughty or nice, who cares? Chase away the winter blues with a hothothot romance.

and last but not least, ???? (this is where you come in)

Okay, so we haven't thought this thing all the way through. We're short an O name, and we really want to get started with promotion. This is why we're letting the readers decide what should be the sixth O HeatSheet.

Now through April 15th, you have the opportunity to tell us what title should brand the next line of Phaze HeatSheet stories. The rules are simple: send an e-mail to:

submissions@phaze.com

with the header O SHEET, tell us your O-Name, and what theme the story should represent. For example: OBAMA - Politics and government stories
(Of course, we don't expect you to use this one, it is an election year after all!)

All names will be judged by Phaze authors, and one winner will be selected. Any duplicate entries by multiple contestants will be placed in a hat and the winner drawn at random. Entrants must be 18 or older. There is no fee to participate, contest is open to all readers in and outside the US.

The reader with the winning HeatSheet name will receive the following prizes/honors:
-A signed Phaze paperback of the reader's choice
-Downloads of all the themed stories bearing the winning O name
-A big thank you in the Acknowledgements section of every story bearing the winning O name
-Readers who entered the same winning name but who do not win the grand prize will each receive two downloads of the themed line bearing the winning O name of their choice, and credit in the acknowledgements as well!

So put your thinking caps on, dust off that dictionary, and give us an O. You may enter as many words as you wish, but ONLY ONE will be selected. Don't wait until the last minute like you do with your taxes, too, OKAY?

Blurb:

After losing her husband to a drunk driver, Cynthia Lyon thought she’d begun to get a handle on living alone, until she found a leak in her roof. Remembering how a dishonest contractor had swindled them, she creates a contract that would have most men running for the hills.

After a disappointing response from a recommended construction outfit, Cynthia gives Jenkins and Sons a call. Enter, Caleb Jenkins, a young, good looking fellow who seems more than willing to take on her and her contract. A third generation building contractor, he agrees to fix the roof, plus add a room, all according to an agreed upon schedule. There’s just one tiny clause that worries him, if he doesn’t keep to this schedule, he’ll be punished. What begins as a simple construction job, quickly turns into much, much more.

Excerpt:

Was he watching?

She didn’t know for sure, but she hoped so, she performed as if he was. Sliding her fingers under the hem, she touched the soft damp curls hidden just beneath. There were no panties to deter her, and he’d know that now, if he were looking. Without looking towards the door, she rose from the bed and unfastened the button and zipper at the back of her skirt. It was tight, so skimming out of it took some wriggling and pushing, which she accentuated. When it dropped to the floor, she was naked from just below her hip bones. The stiff black leather corset contrasted sharply with the pale flesh of her lower belly and the swell of her hips. She folded the skirt and dropped it on the bed. A smile played at the corners of her mouth and she turned away from the door, not wanting him to see her grin.

Was he watching?

She prayed he was.

She ran her hands over her breasts, lifting them, squeezing the leather cupped mounds. Her head fell back and she ground her hips into the air. She smelled herself, her musk, her excitement, and the leather. Languidly, she trailed her hands down her sides, feeling the ribs beneath the hide. Lower still until her palms met flesh, her hips, and around to the soft swell of her ass. She spread her legs and rolled her hips, enticingly—provocatively.

Reaching up under her arm, she snagged the zipper tab and pulled. The corset sagged and then fell away. She caught it as it dropped towards the floor, and tossed it on the bed with the skirt. Her skin was cold and damp in the sudden freedom. She massaged her breasts, naked and soft, her nipples, taut against her palm. The soft swell filled her palms. Shivering, she spun towards the glass door.

He was there. His mouth hung open. One hand held the shovel; the other was on his crotch. The front of his joggers tented towards her, held by his tight grip. It took him a moment to realize she’d caught him. When he did, he blushed beet-red and turned away. The shovel landed in the dirt. Bending to pick it up, he glanced her way again, as if to see if she’d really been watching him.

She was. Inside she was panting, aching for him, but on the outside, she remained stern-looking and calm. She placed her hands on her hips, and scowled.

He blinked, looked shocked, and quickly lowered his eyes. He scrambled to work, digging furiously. Caught, he appeared to want to get the job done, and get out of there as fast as he could.

Stifling a chuckle, Cynthia sat on the bed and dressed—white cotton panties, blue short-shorts and a yellow t-shirt, all within full view of the harried man. Barefoot, she padded into the living room, and across to the kitchen. A cup from the cupboard, quickly filled with brew, and then she walked out into the sunshine through the dining room’s sliding glass door. Stopping just outside, she watched him shovel. He didn’t even slowed down, just kept on digging as sweat poured off him.

“You’ll have this done in no time at that rate,” she suggested looking at the growing dent in the pile of dirt he was working on.

“Yeah, soon,” he muttered, but continued to dig.

“I’ll see you inside later,” she said and headed back inside. Just before she entered, she turned and asked, “Did you enjoy the show?”

His head shot up and he gaped at her

What happens when a whore hooks up with the wrong john? What happens when he murders her? You'd think she'd die; there'd be an investigation that went nowhere and that'd be the end of it, right? Wrong!

Rose did these things…both of them. The first Rose died and swore vengeance, somehow. When the second Rose died, something horrible, something supernatural happens and Rose comes back. Months pass, while she heals the body, transforming it into and searches for him. When she does, she takes her vengeance, and it's not sweet. Not sweet at all.

Re-Release, this Friday ~BEING NEIGHBORLY

Ever wonder what the opposite sex thought about at those special moment? Either sex?

Jude tells you in, Being Neighborly, a mild D/s tale available in ebook format from loveyoudivine.com

Laundry can be such a boring chore.

But, what happens when a neighbor interrupts you?

And what happens if that neighbor is naked?

Not only naked, but hoping you'd show up and take over?

Stacy finds out. Then, you'll find out exactly how the neighbor Jason, builds up his courage to show her exactly how much he wants her to take control. He'll do anything to please her.

Does she have the guts to take him on?

Does he comply with each of her wishes?

Read first from her point of view what happens, then from his. You'll get a peak into the psyche of both the woman and her surprise, and then the man and his daring in this tale of neighborly sharing.

Jude, recently of Venus Press, is branching out and testing the waters. You'll find Jude's work coming to you from both loveyoudivine as well as Phaze in the coming months. Look for the re-release of her older books as well as new, edgy reads that will make you sit up and take notice.

Being Neighborly

An Acquired Taste Release tomorrow -come and chat

I'm thrilled to finally have this one being released. It seems to have taken forever. I know it didn't, but it's been finished and edited and all that for awhile and I just wanted it out there so you all could read it.

To celebrate it's release, I'll be in the Venus Press chat group, and would love to have you all come and visit. Here's the link so pop on over if you have some spare time. I'll be there all day:

Venus Press Chatters at Yahoo

If you're not a member, you will have to join, but that takes only moments. I'll be sharing the day with fellow VP author, Derek Musgrave, whose book Performance Review is coming out tomorrow as well. It's going to be a blast!

I've been struggling to get back into the swing of writing since coming home from vacation, and it's finally starting to pick up. I was beginning to think I'd never get more than 500 words done in a day. Sheesh. At that rate I'd be pumping out a grand total of one book a year, if I was lucky. I'm pleased to say though that I'm going to have the sequel to And There Were Beasts done in plenty of time to get edited and out for All Hallow's Eve. Morgan and Joshua are extremely special people, and I'm sure you'll love them.

Okay, I better get my butt outa here and finish getting ready for that chat. Oh, and if you can't make the day one, I'll be in the FAR chat room tomorrow evening at between 8:00 and 9:00 PM EST. You'll have to scroll down the page until you find the Chat Here button, then voila, you're in.

Have a great evening everyone and hope to see you soon.

Wednesday, April 12th in the TRS (The Romance Studio) chat room. I'll be there from 6-7:00 PM Pacific Standard time. That's 9-10:00 PM Eastern time and I believe in the middle of the night if you're in Europe. The url to get there is:

The second chat will be:
Thursday, April 13 in the FAR (Fallen Angel Reviews) chat room. I'll be there again from time.6-7:00 PM Pacific Standard That's 9-10:00 Eastern time, and also again, the middle of the night for those of you in Europe. The url to get there is:

I'll be answering questions, posting links to excerpts and hopefully having some fun with you all. So, don't miss out. I look forward to seeing you there.

Listen now!!

Fantastic News!

Now you can listen to an Excerpt of The Deal

About a month ago, fellow erotica/romance writer Leigh Ellwood offered me the opportunity to have an excerpt of one of my books read via iPod. I chose The Deal, a very heated little section of it at her request. She did the reading, and wow does she sound hot. If you'd like to listen, here's a link to the page she has it listed on.

Listen Now

You'll have to scroll down a little, but look for my name. Beside it you'll see 3-10-6 Click on that and voila. You'll get to hear a little about Leigh and what she has up and coming, and then you'll hear Sabrina and Matt in a very sexy little clinch.

It's me again

I know, I've been bad, but hey, I've been busy too. I guess the first thing I should mention, is that my short story 'And There Were Beasts' placed in the top ten at the Preditors and Editors Readers Poll. I now have this spiffy new logo to place somewhere on my website. Am I please? You bet your bippy I am. And There Were Beasts was my first changling story and I was thrilled that it went over so well with my readers. If any of you are interested in checking it out, drop by Venus Press

On to more writing bits. I'M SWAMPED.... LOL I've got work backed up until the beginning of next year, which is a good thing, sort of, maybe, I think. In April of this year, the second installment of my 'Dealing With' series will be out. 'Another Deal' takes Matt and Christine to England, where they seeks vengeance for the murder of her sire.

In June, 'An Acquired Taste', a sexy, little, mild BDSM story will be published. Construction work sure wasn't like this when I had my house built, but that's where the inspiration for this came from.

August will bring you 'Pink Ribbon' Another BDSM story, this time not quite as soft, but not all that rough either. A spanking, a little exhibitionism and a whole lot of sexy fun.

Some time in either Oct. or Nov. 'The Scorpio Tattoo' will come out at Venus Press. A ghost, a girl and a psychic all come together. She's kidnapped, he finds her, and the ghost joins in the fun. Where does the tattoo come in... well you'll just have to wait and see.

At Darker Pleasures right now, you'll find part 2 of my story, 'A Job for Mandy' Here's what the publisher has to say about it: Ah, newlywed bliss. Or there would be, if Mandy’s husband Frank wasn’t spending so much time at a nearby men’s club. Not only is she feeling neglected, but Frank won’t even tell her anything about what goes on there or what attracts him to the place. Unwilling to accept evasions as an answer, Mandy decides to do some undercover work on her own – and ends up with the toughest job she’s ever loved. It's the second part of A Job for Mandy by Jude Mason.

I think that's it for now. I know I've been terrible at keep you up to date here, and I'll try harder to fix that. Have a great day and do something naughty

Jude

Preditors and Editors Readers Poll

It's that time again folks. The Preditors and Editors readers poll where you get to vote for your favorite author, short story, novel, editor, and a whole lot more is now up and running. I've been nominated in two categories, Author and And There Were Beasts has been nominated in the short story romance section. I'd appreciate a vote, but if you have another favorite, please cast your vote for them.

Almost Happy New Year!

I know, I've been bad and it's been ages since I posted in here, but jeeze, I've been sooo busy! Let's see, where to begin. I've been scrambling to get this BDSM story done and managed to get it sent in to the editor just before Christmas. It's called Pink Ribbon, and there's this cover you see, that would be perfect for the story. I have one month to get the story accepted to get the cover. And wow, what a sexy cover. Nude torso of a gorgeous guy, with a ribbon dangling down the side of the page. Perfect. Cross your fingers for me everyone.

Oh more news. I got an email from Sex-Kitten.net yesterday and Dance of Submission is in print and available.... YAY! Links to buy here: Sex-Kitten , Amazon and Barnes and Noble I'm jazzed big time about it and hope sales go crazy.

On a more serious note, I'd like you all to send a prayer to my publisher at Darker Pleasures and his family. Just before the holidays, his son fell from the fourth floor of an apartment building and has been in coma since then. He's showing signs of progress, but still has a long way to go to recover. Take a few moments and give your loved ones a hug, and send a prayer to my friends boy. Thank you all.

And now, I'm going to head off and see if I can't get something constructive done. Thank you all for stopping by and I wish everyone the very best of the season, and a wonderful 2006

Hugs
Jude
