Flash Fiction Offering:
As he held her guilt warred with desire. She was so lovely, standing in his arms so willingly, utterly prepared to face her death so they could be together forever.
God’s part of him wanted this so much. The darker part of him, the instinct that drove him to take and feed and kill, wanted him to sink his teeth into her tender flesh and make her his so that nothing would ever part them.
But the rational part of him, the shred of moral decency he might still have inside him, knew this was wrong. Knew he should let her go to live a life in the sun with a man who wouldn’t take her into darkness and blood.
But he was a selfish creature and he knew he could not exist without her in his life. Which meant he had to make her like him; powerful, immortal. His forever.
Clutching her close he pressed a kiss to her neck and a low moan escaped her, sending a rush of lust through his body. “Forgive me” he whispered against her and then he bit down.

Discrimination is wrong.
My father and mother are fine with it as long as I never talk about it. My friends don’t mind at all as long as I never bring it around them. My co-workers pretend I’m not by never engaging me in simple conversation.
As long as they get the watered down version of me they’re happy. As long as they don’t have to think about who I love they accept me. As long as I don’t flaunt my other side everything is peaceful.
For them.
A part of me is dying, fading away to nothing. Hiding who I am and who I love for the benefit of others. Being only half of my true self.
So I love you mom and dad, I need you my friends, I respect you my co-workers.
Let me introduce you to me. I love, need and respect myself also. This is my life, and it is my job to take care of me. I refuse to let half of myself drown while I’m around you anymore. Because even though my one half is terrific…my whole being is phenomenal. Don’t worry, I’ll show you the way.
It’s time to throw a pebble in the pond.

Please give a warm welcome to Nevil from Shelton’s Choice by Dianne Hartsock today as we sit down and see what makes him/her tick.
Q: So tell us about yourself. What got you in the crosshairs for your author?
I was Shelton’s roommate, for starters. This is mostly his story, after all, and I think Dianne would have written about anyone Shelton had been interested in. I just made it a point to have that person be me.
Q: What was it that drew you to your mate?
My architectural firm was designing the extension for the bank where Shelton worked. I walked innocently into the first meeting to be ambushed by a pair of lovely hazel eyes. The rest of the man is pretty spectacular too, but it was those eyes that captured my attention. Not only their unique beauty, but the shy looks he kept giving me across the table. I don’t think he was even aware of doing it at the time. But I was. Absolutely.
Q: A little naughty fun, where was the wildest place you seduced your partner(s)?
We were at a friend’s party once (Shelton’s Promise) where we both got a little tipsy. Unable to resist Shelton’s pouty lips a second longer, I locked him in the utility room, lifted him on the dryer, and…well, we had a great time, until someone started pounding on the door.
Q: Boxers, briefs or Commando on a man?
Shelton wears these soft boxer briefs. Nice snug fit, with these little buttons that make me wild to unbutton them.
Q: If your partner wants to seduce you, what’s one sure fire trick he/she can play?
Shelton knows me too well! I have a thing for ties. If he comes anywhere near me with his dress shirt unbuttoned and his tie against his bare chest, I’m his.
Q: What is the one place on your partner’s body that you know will drive them wild-in and out of bed?
Shelton’s earlobe, of all places. If he lets me close enough to kiss his neck, I can move up to nibble his ear and have him moaning in seconds. I’ve never actually brought him to climax that way, but it could be an interesting experiment…
Q: What was one of the most embarrassing things your author did to you in Shelton’s Choice?
At one point, I’m so hurt and angry with Shelton I leave my ring on the counter with a note goodbye. I felt like a prick afterwards and called to apologize for being such a drama queen. I think Dianne could easily have left that part out of the story.
Q: Anything else you would like to add?
Only that loving Shelton has made me a better man. Thank you for having me as your guest today.

Flash Fiction: The Apology
Caleb scowled at his image reflected in the window. “Asshole.” His heart jumped at the knock on the door. He couldn’t believe Michael still wanted to see him after catching him kissing that twink in the dress last night.
The practiced apology died on his lips. His lover’s six foot gorgeousness was clad in nothing but a camisole and the shortest pink mini Caleb had ever seen.
Caleb blinked and pulled him inside. “What if the neighbors see you?”
“I thought you liked your men to dress this way? Am I wrong?”
Caleb bit his lip, distracted by taut nipples straining against black mesh. A pink tipped fingernail tilted his face and he met Michael’s eyes, fond and knowing. “We learned something new about Caleb last night. But if you kiss another man again I’ll cut off your balls.”
Caleb stretched and brought their lips together in a promise, swallowing Michael’s sigh as he slid eager hands under the lethal skirt.
Please give a warm welcome to Annabel from High Heels & Hexes by Michael Matthews Bingamon today as we sit down and see what makes her tick.
Q: So tell us about yourself. What got you in the crosshairs for your author?
A: Hi y’all! Ain’t much to tell, I’m a practicing witch from Helena Alabama, just south of that there Birmingham. I learned my craft from my momma, she was into hoodoo. A few years ago I went and attended a seminar in Las Vegas for magic. That’s where I met my coven leader, Jasmine.
It’s my secret fantasy which makes me so fun for Michael to write about. See, I’ve always wanted to expand my horizons, in a biblical sense, with a demon, primordial or some other supernatural creature—but it has to be right. I’ve always liked nice guys and those are a might tough to find in the circles we witches travel.
Q: What was it that drew you to your mate?
A: Nezel? He’s my pride and joy, he is! He’s sweet, gentle, thoughtful, with the cutest smile and slim, sexy build. I ought would have to say it was his tail that first caught my attention; the things that man can do.
Q: A little naughty fun, where was the wildest place you seduced your partner(s)?
A: Well, I’m a might embarrassed to say that Mr. Bingamon scandalize me in the story with the answer to that. Let’s just say that Jasmine’s 1959 Cadillac Eldorado has a story to tell. I’ll never get to look at that car the same way again.
Q: Boxers, briefs or Commando on a man?
A: Demons don’t wear no underpants, but they look damn good in jeans!
Q: If your partner wants to seduce you, what’s one sure fire trick he/she can play?
A: That’s where I differ from the rest of my coven; I don’t need a man to trick me. Jasmine likes them bad boys that take charge, they really get her going. Caroline, on the other hand, falls for clean cut, well-to-do, city slickers. While dear Shelly is drawn like a moth to flame toward trouble—the more tangled the mess the better, the girl can’t help herself. I hear that crazy impulse that gave her cause to leave New Zealand.
Me? I like a man who can take it all in and not get lost in himself. When he says somethin’ sweet to me, I melt like butter on a summer day.
Q: What is the one place on your partner’s body that you know will drive them wild-in and out of bed?
A: Nezel’s a demon with a thick tail that is all kinds of sensitive. If I play with it he’s like a hound dog getting his belly rubbed.
Q: What was one of the most embarrassing thing your author did to you in High Heels & Hexes?
A: Well, if I must answer… Michael did let the cat out of the bag about my voice sounding so off when I chant in Latin, on account of my southern accent and all. But my momma told me to always be proud of who I am— not only as a witch, but as a southern black woman as well.
Q: Anything else you would like to add?
A: I just ought want to thank y’all for the interview. And to let your readers know that while little o’ Annabel is in the story and have myself a steamy scene with my Nezel, our tale is about Shelly. She’s a powerhouse of a woman that would do anything for the rest of us. Shelly loves her sister, Caroline, and proves herself more courageous than a bull rider.
Our story has mystery, betrayal, humor and some fine beefy men! Check us out in June when High Heels & Hexes is released. You won’t be left wanting!
