Author Spotlight: Scott Hildreth

The Jazzy World of E's Bookshelf is excited to introduce to you today's Author Spotlight,  Scott Hildreth. Hildreth is the author behind the popular books, The Fighter Erotic Un series, Broken People and Finding Parker to name a few.  He recently released his new MC biker book, Making the Cut. Get ready to learn more about Hildtreth and books. It's the Jazzy World of E's Bookshelf's pleasure to present today's Author Spotlight, Scott Hildreth.

Scott Hildreth's Biography

-->
Scott Hildreth is a very analytical sort who bases his beliefs on statistics he compiles in his head. Often going as long as a month without so much as a single sip of water, he drinks coffee as if it were the lifeblood of his writing. 

Scott fears flying, clowns, and amusement park rides. Tall and lean with a cleanly shaven head and covered in tattoos, he doesn’t blend in well. After reading his writings, this makes perfect sense. His vibrant characters, backstories, and plots, although always relatable, generally stand out as much as he does. 

Willing to discuss matters at length most people shy away from, Scott’s writing has revolved around such subjects as domestic abuse, suicide, alcoholism, drug abuse, cancer, divorce, homosexuality, religion, and lack thereof. 

Born in San Diego, California, Scott now calls Wichita, Kansas his home. He is a proud father, and lives devoted to the love of his life, Jessica. When he isn’t writing, he may be found on his motorcycle or in a local coffee house. 

Scott's novels include Broken People, Undefeated, Unstoppable, Unleashed, Unbroken, Baby Girl - Ruined, Baby Girl - Owned, Baby Girl - Loved, To the Depths of Hell, The Alpha-Bet, Finding Parker, Karter, and Confessions of a Smut Author.

Broken People

-->

Intentionally becoming obese in an effort to shield himself from the approach of outsiders wanting to better understand him, The Fat Kid hides behind his thick outer self. With an overbearing obnoxious attitude, he allows few people to enter his otherwise private life. Most of the people that he encounters come from his internet blog, and pose no real threat to him or to his odd lifestyle.

The Fat Kid is a self-proclaimed therapist who devotes his life to help people that have difficulties helping themselves, people he considers to be ‘broken’. When he encounters a bulimic teenage girl through his internet blog who threatens to commit suicide, he begins to reflect on parts of his life that he has spent years repressing. He continues to assist her, and many other ‘Broken People’ through his blog. When he meets an extremely independent woman who challenges him, his way of living, and his way of viewing life, he reluctantly listens. In doing so he challenges his past mistakes, his future, and ultimately he finds himself.

Five broken people, five points of view, one story. From each of five characters perspective, this story unfolds and grips you from the beginning. If there is any part of you that feels broken, this book is a mirror held before you. In the end, you'll see your true reflection.

From time to time, a book comes along, and makes you stop. It makes you stop and second guess who you are, what you’re doing in life, with life, and for the ones you love. This is that book. Through colorfully painted characters, “Broken People” forces the reader to reflect on self. There will be a broken part of you in one (or all) of these characters, guaranteed.

Through The Fat Kid, his reflections on past experiences, and his online assistance to others, we are exposed to everything that high school kids these days deal with. Additionally, we are exposed to what parents should be considering, thinking, and doing - but often don't. The writings of Catherine Ryan Hyde, John Green, and Donna Tartt are similar. If you loved those reads, you'll certainly love Broken People. The characters in this book come to life before your eyes, and you become one with them. The result is a book that will have you laughing, crying, contemplating your own life, and the lives of your parents and/or children. A must read for parents and children alike, regardless of age. It gives teens and young adults an honest look at what parents consider, and provides parents with a realistic view of what teens are exposed to in today’s competitive social networking world.

Unstoppable 
 
-->**WARNING** This Erotic novel has scenes of violence and many, many, many scenes of sex which are graphically depicted. This is not intended for young or immature readers.

Mike Ripton “Ripp” is a street fighter and a boxer who doesn’t necessarily care about title fights or notoriety. He fights because he enjoys it. Beating another man excites him. Fighting bare knuckles matches for spare cash is his life. His mode of transportation is either a Harley or his 1969 Chevelle.

Vivian Simone “Vee” is a ruthless Federal Attorney. As savage as she is in court, she prefers to cower at the feet of a Dominant man at night. Her only requirement is that she be in a relationship with her Dominant male counterpart.

Mike Ripton doesn’t do relationships. Never has. And he believes he never will.

Vee and Ripp meet by chance in a bar one afternoon while she’s at lunch. Immediately, there’s attraction from both sides…

But Ripp doesn’t do relationships.

Or does he?

This is their story. Sexually speaking it is not for the meek of heart.

Mike Ripton “Ripp” is a ruthless fighter and a Dominant male.

A woman has had an ‘other than consensual’ sexual encounter. One problem – the woman is Ripp’s sister.

He resolves the issue on his terms.

His terms aren’t legal, not even in Texas.

He’s going to need an attorney, and a very good one. His submissive is a Federal Attorney who takes no prisoners in the courtroom, but he’ll have to allow her to call the shots during the trial.

Can Ripp submit in the courtroom, find a happy medium, or continue to live his life with reckless abandon?

Unbroken


-->
Unbroken is the fourth and final book in the "UNDEFEATED" series.

This book follows the lives of Shane and Kace from book One - UNDEFEATED, and is the follow up to book one.

As Shane Dekkar prepares for the biggest fight of his career - the Heavyweight Championship of the World - life throws him an unexpected uppercut so damaging he takes a step back and reconsiders EVERYTHING.

In his reevaluation of life and all things in it, he migrates to where he found comfort for years, street fights and bare knuckles matches for spare cash. Risking his career, health, the championship, his relationship, and his friends, Shane must find a way to rise from the muck and mire he's living in and either fight for what he believes in, or remain where he currently finds comfort - in the bowels of society.

Can people truly change or do we always naturally migrate to a place of comfort in hard times?

Will Shane go back to his love, friends, and life, or will he revert to his roots and be a loner?

Best described in A-Train's discussion with Ripp, Shane just might be "Unbroken"...

"I've seen what exposing a man to violence and bloodshed can do, Ripp. I've witnessed it first hand. Some men take exception to it from the start, and those men can recover. The savages? The men who came from a life of violence? Well, they actually find comfort in it. There isn't a way to fix 'em, because they aren't really broken. Lemme ask you a question. If you take a wolf out of the wild, does it take the wild out of the wolf?"

Unbroken, the final chapter in the Undefeated series.

*WARNING* This book contains scenes of graphic violence and sex that some readers may find offensive.

The Tortured

 
This Dark Erotic Novel contains scenes of sex, torture, and graphic violence against women.

Tortured by his father as a child, Ryan Capshaw has minimal compassion for mankind. An extremely intelligent man, he has devised a plan to kidnap, torture, and sexually abuse four women.

After abducting the women and placing them in a concrete cell, he allows them to spend some time getting to know one another. Afterward, he opens the door and provides the following instructions...

"Tomorrow at precisely zero eight hundred hours, one of you is going to die. If you cant decide amongst yourselves who it will be, I will kill all four of you. Have a good night..."

And he shuts the door.

The Tortured is an in-depth look at the thoughts, feelings, and psychological effects abduction, dying, torture, and sexual abuse have on the abducted as well as the abductor.

Be forewarned, this erotic novel is not a typical story, and it is certainly not a typical erotica. Do NOT become attached to the characters, regardless of who you think the heroine may be. Because no differently than the women in the book, you have no idea what Ryan Capshaw is thinking.

Finding Parker





We have all heard it before. From a mother, father, friend or maybe a complete stranger.

“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

But what if it wasn’t?

Parker Bale finds himself in this exact predicament. A gentlemen with a very unique past, Parker completed college and is on the hunt for a job. Almost immediately he is offered the career of a lifetime. His new assignment? Find a woman to love. His boss? Kenton Ward - a self-made millionaire with a strange desire to witness a love he never had an opportunity to experience.

One small catch...Parker must sign a contract with Kenton, binding him to conditions of the search for a woman. Eagerly, he signs the document without reading the legal language.

Victoria Fisker doesn’t trust people, has no faith in the male species and lives a quiet life keeping to herself and caring for her narcotic addicted mother.

Can they look beyond their sordid pasts? Can Parker fall in love under the scrutiny of an employment contract? Can Victoria learn to trust?

The love depicted in Finding Parker is not simply read, it is experienced. After reading this novel, you will without a doubt view love differently…and question the life you have been living.

“I wanted to resist, allowing the night to go on forever. As we walked along the beach, I pressed my feet into the sand firmly, leaving an impression deep enough to last a lifetime.

And I did not look back...”

Confessions of a Smut Author


This is the first of the stand-alone extremely erotic novellas exposing the life of a male Erotica author. **WARNING** DO NOT attempt the scenes depicted in this novella.

Shawn Fairfield is an erotica author who had always used his wife as the sexual inspiration for his novels. Be it a dark erotica or something a little softer, he had always felt the need to make the sexual scenes 'accurate'.

After the death of his wife, he became a recluse. After over a year, when he finally ventured from his home, he met a very unlikely woman who was willing to act as his muse.
Cheryl Baker is a religious woman who comes from a very strict and religious background. She admits to Shawn, after they meet the first time, that she enjoys reading erotic novels. She is immediately drawn to the author, and is intrigued by his writings, and his personality.

She agrees to have a sexual relationship with the author, acting as his inspiration and muse. There's only one problem - she has no idea of what type of book Shawn was working on when his wife died. Calling the unfinished novel ‘dark’ doesn't quite do it justice.

And Shawn is determined to finish it, using Cheryl as his muse.

This novella is extremely, and I do mean extremely, erotic. There are many scenes of role play, some of which are nonconsensual. Additionally, some of the sexual scenes are of a very explicit nature, and depict acts that should NOT be experienced by the reader in real life, and only enjoyed as entertainment through reading this book.

Please, proceed with caution.

Includes MM, MMF, MMMF, MMMMF, FF, and NOCONSENTUAL SEX scenes. Additionally, this novella includes scenes of asphyxiation and should not be considered anything the reader should experience, only read for entertainment value.

Making The Cut





*WARNING* Depicts an Outlaw Motorcycle Club, criminal activity, graphic sex, and violence, but has HEA, no cheating, and NO sex outside the relationship.

Avery, a Criminal Justice major in college, yearns for a bad-boy. An alpha male. An unattainable guilty pleasure. The unicorn of men.

When the Selected Sinners Motorcycle Club rides into Avery’s bar one night, her heart stops, and her mind goes to work. She's immediately attracted to the baddest man in the group, Axton. She wants him at any cost.

Axton isn’t only a bad boy, he's the President of The Selected Sinners Motorcycle Club, a 1%er Outlaw Motorcycle Club. At the onset of a gun deal with a notorious Mexican prison gang, there is no place in Axton’s life or mind for a college girl with a smart mouth.

Avery quickly becomes willing to sacrifice whatever she must for a shot at Axton.

Axton is willing to sacrifice nothing, and has no interest in her advances. His mind and devotion are on his club brothers and finishing the gun deal with the MS-13, which will allow one of his brothers in prison to make it out alive.

But Axton finds in doing the deal, he needs Avery and her Criminal Justice education to complete it.

If Avery makes it out alive, it will be a small miracle.

If Axton makes it out without falling for her, it would be an even bigger miracle.


*WARNING*
This book is a stand-alone love story. It does have tremendous violence, explicit language, sexual situations, and the intricacies of being in an Outlaw Motorcycle Club depicted. All sexual partners in this book are over the age of 18.

*NOTE TO READERS*
Stand alone love story. HEA. No cliff hanger.

Author Spotlight: Samantha Fontien


Samantha Fontien, author of the Dragonflies series, How to Catch Butterflies, and the Wee Book of Nookie, is today's Jazzy World of E's Bookshelf's Author Spotlight.  Fontien released her first book back in 2013 and recently released the final book in the Dragonflies series, Cousins The Next Generation this past December.  Fontien mixes romance, humor and emotions, delivering stories that readers love. Her newest project is a spinoff of the Dragonflies series called, Wee Book of Nookie.  Fontien talks about her new series and more in the interview below.  I'm excited to introduce to you, Samantha Fontien, today's Author Spotlight.


 Samantha Fontien's Biography

I'm a Happily Married, MUM of 2. I LOVE Music...I should as I am the daughter of Musicians and was reared with a guitar in one hand and a pen in the other.


An Interview with Samantha Fontien 

Hi Samantha, Thank you for the interview. You released your first book, How to Catch Butterflies, almost two years ago, has your approach to writing changed from your first book to your sixth?
Oohh… Great starting question. I think I’m a little more disciplined, especially with my prep work. I like to plan, do outlines for the chapters, where as with my first I just wrote.

As for my writing style, I don’t think have changed. I still do my twists and turns. I have however cut down a bit on my descriptions of properties.

In december you released the third book in the Dragonflies series, Cousins - The Next Generation. What can you tell us about it?

It’s the conclusion to the Trilogy and the Saga that is the Peters Family. The Trilogy itself, is about Love, friendship and loyalty. which takes place over the three books.

You started a Dragonflies spinoff series, Wee Bookie of Nookie, What should readers expect from this new series?
These Novella’s are based on the ‘Wee Bookie’ Rubin Miller (Duncan’s best friend) always carried on him. It had women’s numbers from across the globe, he had enjoyed and of course would like to, once again...

Each stand alone Novella will be based on a woman or women seeing as we know that Rubin had a love of ménage à trios. and other things

The titles themselves, are very ‘tongue in cheek’, very much Rubin’s sense of humour. They won’t have the same story content like my other works.

They will have NO drama or heartbreak, as these will be quick naughty reads about his sexcapades as so to speak.

So far, I have four titles planned for the series.

They will contain lots of Mature Content as unfortunately, Rubin Miller is unable to keep it in his pants.

Of all the books you’ve written, do you have a favorite?
Yes… But that’s like asking which is my favourite child lol… I love each of them for different reasons, for the characters, chapter content. Some chapters I love with all my heart and soul, and I am extremely proud of how they turned out. Yes, my books are like babies to me.

Music plays a big part of your writing process. The chapters of your books are named after songs. When it comes to inspiration is it the song that inspire the writing? Or is it an idea that makes you think of a song that would go perfectly with that chapter?
Magic question and this one will probably be my longest answer as it involves one of my favourite subjects… Music!! LOL

Yes to both of those, but mainly more of ‘the song’ inspires me or rather the words or lyrics.

I have often been sitting in the car waiting for one of the children to come out from school and I would hear a song on the radio and for me, it’s like alarm bells going off in my head with situations or scenarios. I then jot down my notes with all the ideas. Without sounding silly or like a complete head-case, the music just sets something off in me. Ohh and yes I do take note of the songs too which is really important if you have two school pick-ups to do and then hearing about their day…. Yes, that will completely knock any notion of what the song title, or who the band was etc, etc out of you head…. Yeah I learned that one the hard way…. ALWAYS carry a notebook with you at all times ohh and a working pen or pens.

I do find music totally inspirational and I couldn’t live without it. But I think that is maybe because I have been conditioned by my parents who were both musicians and blessed me with their excellent, varied tastes in music.

For me, its the words. the lyrics, the emotions, I get truly lost in the scenes and it results in the chapters you read. I have actually set up the playlists on Spotify so the readers can enjoy the whole ‘reading experience’ fully for my books.

Your stories have multiple POVs, are certain characters easier to write than others?
I find all my characters pretty much easy to write, as I do profiles on all of them, even down to their tastes in music. I do however find some much easier (coughing ‘Rubin Miller’ cough, cough) than others They all have their own personalities and quirks.

To me, all of my characters are real… I’ve often had one of them badgering me to either change what I’ve written as they don’t like it… Or do something about it and make it quick lol.

What has been your favorite part of writing and publishing your books?
Ooohh another good question… With regards to the writing… I think when I laugh myself, whilst I’m typing something funny I’ve written, like a situation or a one liner. I do have favorite scenes that do make me giggle from each of my books.

As for my favourite part of the publishing side… It would have to be when a reader messages me, either while their reading or just after they have finished, and they are as caught up in my stories as I am.. I get excited too and love chatting about the books and answering any questions they may have as to how could I do certain things I done. (No Spoilers for you guys sorry lol)

It still amazes me to think, that ‘Little Ole Me’. actually published a book. It was a dream I never thought would ever come true, let alone someone actually read and love them.

The feeling you have, when someone becomes totally lost in your story, it’s almost euphoric, its quite fantastic really when you think about it..

What do you hope readers take away from your stories?
I hope they take the Love and think of their own bonds of friendship. So far, my books seem to revolve around friendships and loyalty. Being a friend to the end, above and beyond.

We all need somebody to lean on… And don’t be afraid to love with all your heart.

In 10 words or less, can you tell readers who are new to you why they should read your books?
This one really Challenged me… I could talk the legs off the back of a donkey, so ten words or less….

Hmmmm…

‘They are emotional rollercoasters with twists and turns and HEA’s’…. Yay!! 10 words exactly lol.

Is there anything else you would like to say to your fans and/or readers new to you?
I’m an English writer, my books are primarily based in London, although their is some international travel scattered throughout them.

My chaps tend to be Alpha Ceo types (even though four of them are ex special forces DF Trilogy.)

My females are strong, quirky women who have careers.

I love humour and use it as often as I can, so although you may shed a tear or two, some I promise will be caused by laugh out loud ones too.

All my characters have flaws, as nobodys perfect and sometimes you may want to scream at your kindle/reader or maybe even at me.

I have been known to kill people in my books too as I do write stories with Drama, Heartache and Mature content, intended for readers 18+. I have a few signings that I am attending this year and I have a pretty full calendar for next year too, so if you're at one, pop by and say hello.

Author Spotlight: Noah Wilde



The Jazzy World of E's Bookshelf Author Spotlight is shinning on new author Noah Wilde.  In December, Wilde released his debut work, Deck My Halls. It is a short story part of the Naughty & Nice Book One: 'Tis the Season anthology.  You can expect to see a lot more from Wilde in 2015. He will be releasing another short story part of the Naughty & Nice anthologies and a novel as well.  You can read about this and more in my interview with him.  It's my great pleasure to introduce to you, Noah Wilde, today's Author Spotlight.


Noah Wilde's Biography

Hey, I'm Noah, which was probably obvious. I love to write, surf, read, paint...and play (I think you know what I mean). My mother raised me to respect women and adore them for the beautiful creatures that they are, so please do not take my bluntness as perversion.

I am new on the erotica scene, but no stranger to penning steamy novels. I believe humility is sexy, and I will always be humble at heart. Except in the bedroom.

If you'd like to get to know me better and hear more about my works, then I would love the chance to get to know you as well!
 


An Interview with Noah Wilde

Hi Noah, thanks for taking the time to interview. You released debut work, Deck My Halls, part of the Naughty & Nice Series Book One: 'Tis the Season in December, what can you tell us about it?
All four stories revolve around the same company holiday party. My character, Reed Phillips, is a bit more on the shy side. He’s had a crush on a coworker (Miranda) for some time. Problem is, she’s just as shy as he is. He has to get the courage to talk to her, and then work his way into her heart.

The Naughty and Nice series is an anthology with you and three other authors (Marisa Oldham, S.M Rose, Emma Payne), that included the same setting for each story. Did the other authors stories inspire your story in any way?
I loved reading the stories from the other authors, but I didn’t until after I had written mine. Emma did tell me she had a group of obnoxious girls at the bar in hers, so I included them in mine as well. I like to think my character and her character are at the bar at the same time.

How did you get involved in the project?
I am good friends with S.M. Rose, who introduced me to Angelia Rourke, the compiler and editor of the anthology. She included me in it as well, and I’ve been very happy with the results!

As a new author, were you nervous releasing you first story?
I was very nervous! I have a couple short stories published under my other pen name, but they are not erotica. It was much different putting sex on the page, but it’s something I want to keep doing!

Was writing something you were always passionate about, or was it something you started to get into more recently?

I’ve always been passionate about writing and English. It’s one of the classes I didn’t skip in high school!

What inspires your writing?
Everyday life really inspires me. I don’t really take things from real life, but sometimes I take emotions I’ve experienced and put it in my stories. I love to listen to stories from friends as well and warp them before building on them. There are stories all around us. I just have to find them!

You have a couple upcoming projects, can you tell us anything about them?
My next project is another anthology, Naughty & Nice: Single’s Night. The same four authors are involved, but this time the stories revolve around a Single’s Night event at a bar on Valentine’s Day. That is set for release on Feb 10. It’s a lot of fun. After that, I have a book called Revenge that I am co-authoring with Emma Payne, one of my anthology co-authors. It’s going to be an amazing book when it’s done, and we’re hoping to release at the end of February. I also have another anthology I’m participating in for Angelia Rourke called Reawakened. That’s estimated for release at the end of April and is another book in her Awakened series of anthologies.

What has been your favorite part of writing and publishing your work?
Getting to know so many amazing readers and authors! I love connecting with new readers and learning about them. It gives me a goal to work toward!

Who are some of your favorite authors?
I absolutely love Emma Payne. She is probably the best kept secret in erotica right now! Everyone who reads her book, Room 237, falls in love with her and her writing. All of my coauthors are amazing – Marisa Oldham and S.M. Rose. I also love Angie Martin’s work – a suspense and thriller author. She’s a fantastic writer! I’ve also recently read Elisabeth Stephens (she was in the first Awakened anthology) and love her work, too!

In 10 words or less, can you tell readers who are new to you why they should read your work?
Because it’s real, emotional, and sexy!

Is there anything else you would like to say to your fans and/or readers new to you?

Just come on by and give me a try! I have a great fan group (Noah’s Beauties) which is filled with amazing readers and authors I consider my friends. I’d love to see you there!

Review: Desolate by Ker Dukey





Synopsis


I was a son, A friend, A brother, A psychopath. Eighteen years of being in a psyche ward; I was released into the world. Things have changed, Blake is married to Melody and is a father to my new fixation, Cereus. My beautiful niece who knows nothing of my existence. When consequences of past sins begin playing tricks on me, old cravings demand to be satisfied. There is no cure for my kind of sickness. I am void of everything but obsession. I can’t love, I can’t feel, I am Desolate.

 Review

Desolate can be added to the growing list of books you should read by Ker Dukey. After Empathy, I wanted to know about Ryan. Desolate picks up 18 years after Empathy. Blake and melody are married and have a teenage daughter (Cereus), and Ryan is being released from the psyche ward he was sent to after committing some really grizzly murders. We get a deeper look into the mind of Ryan in this book, and it is beyond intriguing. I couldn't get enough. I wanted to know what his next move was going to be. There's so muh more but I don't want to spoil it.

Ker Dukey does a great with Desolate. I like the way she balances the multiple POVs throughout the story and keeps you on your toes. She also knows how to throw in twists that leave you shocked a few times. Desolate is a thrilling, dark erotic story that you're going to want to read.
