Weekend giveaway: SEX, LIES, AND BONDAGE TAPE

SEX, LIES AND BONDAGE TAPE is a contemporary erotic novella that appears in the KINK anthology together with Sasha White's WATCH ME. To celebrate the resurgance of interest in BDSM stories I'm giving away 2 print copies of the KINK anthology! :) (and if you already have this one, stay tuned as I'll be doing more giveaways here soon.)

SEX, LIES AND BONDAGE TAPE is one of my favourite powerplay stories. The story has a humorous edge and follows the relationship of two very physical people who like to turn the tables on each other. :)

Here's the summary:

Fitness instructor Kelly Burton is a woman on a mission, and this time it's sneaking backstage at a rock concert to get super star Clayton Warren's autograph for her friend. What she doesn't factor in is becoming privy to a big media secret, nor being captured by a sexy security guy who sends her pulse racing.

Backstage security man Tommy Samson's speciality is sending rogue groupies on their way with a playful spank and a threat, but this woman is responding to his behaviour in an entirely different way and very soon they're locked in hands-on-combat of an intimate kind, kicking off a sequence of crazy sex games back and forth across London.

When Kelly wants to track Tommy down, she has to resort to being a 'groupie' all over again, shanghaiing Clayton Warren and doing a deal over his big media secret to get hold of Tommy's contact details. Kelly is a stubborn, independent woman who plays the men at their own games, but it only makes Tommy want more, and what Tommy wants Tommy goes after.

Here are some reviews:

"This is one laugh out loud, shake your head and fan yourself story. Kelly and Tommy start off with an attraction that neither can or want to deny. In addition though, there are a few misconceptions between them. Their sexual encounter involves a little kink, a little sizzle and a little laughter and once it's over, both have regrets about how it ends. What's hilarious are the lengths they both go to in order to contact each other again. I enjoyed that Kelly was a strong, outspoken woman who affected those around her in a positive way, leaving a warm feeling to accompany the meltdown from their game of kiss chase - but I won't give that away, read this keeper! " 5 stars. Trang, for Ecataromance.

"The story sizzles from the minute the heroine meets the hero. The love scenes are intense, passionate and well crafted. I found I enjoyed the cat and mouse game between the lead characters, and the way Kelly finally got her man, was inspired. Both Ms. Walker and Ms. White have created an anthology that erotic romance lovers dare not miss." 5 Kisses. Cerri, for Romance Divas.

If you want a chance to win a print copy of KINK, with both this and Sasha's story, just leave me a comment on this post. You can enter wherever in the world you are. Two random winners will be drawn on Monday morning.

Book giveaway for HOLLY'S INTUITION

Book giveaway: MONICA'S SECRET

Whew, it's been a long time since I blogged. My heavy work schedule has kept me from being online, but I'm beginning to see the wood for the trees (i.e. I've finally caught upon my 2010 backlog. ;o) I thought I would kick off my return by running a giveaway!

MONICA'S SECRET is now available in print! To celebrate I'm giving away two print copies of the book. Anyone can enter, regardless of where you are in the world. Just leave me a comment on this post. I'll keep the contest open until Valentine's Day.

If you'd like to read an excerpt from Monica's story and find out more about the Erogenous Zones series, go here. If you want to buy the ebook version you'll find it here.

Meanwhile, MONICA'S SECRET picked up some wonderful reviews of the past few weeks. It's been an inspiration to see such positive responses to this story, which I'd had turning over in my mind for a good couple of years before I started writing it. I'm so pleased readers are enjoying it. Here are a few of the recent comments:

"In Monica’s Secret this wickedly hot story will take you down a path that is full of twists and turns and oh so hot lovin’ by two hunks. This is not your typical boy meets boy who wants girl erotic menage. I could truly feel the romance between all three of the characters and loved every page!...So if you like hunks, handcuffs, and a good mystery add Monica’s Secret by Saskia Walker to your collection today!" Rated 4 Delightful Divas by Lily at Dark Divas Reviews.


"I loved Monica’s Secret and I love the name of the series, The Erogenous Zones Series. What a great name and very appropriate for the sexual heat to be found within the pages of this book...f you are cool with ménage and enjoy a good mystery and a smoking love story, this is a great book for you." 4.5 Ravens from Lea at BlackRaven's Reviews.


"The energizer bunny of sexual tension is the best way to describe Monicas Secret...What a new twist on the whole psychic plane with a nicely laid out plot of secrets, lies, lust, and love. Even though it has some hot scenes in it and keeps you fanning yourself all the way through, it is not a hastily tossed together story so there is a lot of meat between the covers. If you are looking for a hot -- and I mean hot -- erotic story then this book is for you. It's one that I will be reading again myself." 4.5 stars from Myrtle at Whipped Cream Reviews.

Don't forget to leave me a comment if you'd like to be included in the draw to win a print copy.

What am I working on now?

After the summer of many deadlines I can currently be a bit more flexible and flip around between shorter projects I'm working on to break things up. Two novels have been completed and submitted this year, THE HARLOT and MONICA'S SECRET. Soon those manuscripts will be on their way back to me for revisions, edits, and proofing. I'm on standby.

I have two more big projects I want to finish before the year is out, but I'm not starting those until October. At the moment I'm concentrating on finishing up short stories, outlining my new ideas for the year ahead, editing a novella that has to be reworked, and doing admin stuff such as bringing my accounts and web site up-to-date. I confess I find it easier to pull away for revisions when working on small projects, so I will maintain that pattern until the end of the month.

October through to the end of the year I hope to complete two short novels, HOLLY'S INTUITION, and FAYE'S SPIRIT. These are books 2 and 3 in the Erogenous Zones series, the stories of psychic sisters Monica, Holly and Faye Evans. I'm eager to get on with book 2, Holly’s story. Holly's psychic ability is subtle, but undergoes a massive change when she keeps a neighbour alive following a car accident. From that point on she is deeply connected to him, and that means she sees and experiences what he does during moments of passion. Holly’s neighbour is bisexual, and as she gets involved with him, she also gets involved with his male lover…and she has to tell them what she's seen, and felt…It's going to be an interesting one! :) I can’t wait to get started.

Over the next couple of weeks I'll also be posting some background about the “world” of RAMPANT here at the blog -- why I write Scottish witches, some notes about the artefacts that exist from the time of the Scottish witch trials, and thoughts about the Fife landscape and coastline. If you enjoyed RAMPANT this will be bit of background information that you might find interesting.

To finish today, a quick reminder that if you are a USA or Canada resident, you can enter the eXcessica scavenger hunt for your chance to win a kindle. Go here to find out more.
