Oh, What a Release It Is!

Tomorrow I am unleashing more ROBOSEX upon you all! Muahahaha!

While putting the final touches on Coral-600, my editor asked me "When do I get Paisley's book?"

Hmm...a book for Paisley?

I knew Paisley had a hell of a story in her, and she didn't disappoint. I had a blast uncovering who she was and where her story started.

Get your pre-orders in so you don't miss out. Paisley might have had a rough start to her new life, but the rewards for being who you are...well they tend to be twice as sweet.

*SALE ALERT* whoop whoop *SALE ALERT*

We all know Valentine's Day is just around the corner. And Samhain Publishing knows how to celebrate. They are putting ALL romance ebooks on sale for 40% off! 

There's no better time to stock up. That means, if you've missed out, you can snag Coral-600 and Interlocking Hearts for a steal.

Interlocking Hearts

A human, an almost-human, and a more-than-human walk into a palace…

The DMA Files, Book 2

After her husband threw her out, Paisley Compton drew her sexuality around her like a shield. She finds solid ground as a palace maid until, during a formal dinner service, she trips onto the lap of a man who takes her breath away.

Ben has always known Jon is far more than property, and he jumps at the chance to get the android his certificate of humanity. Paisley—whose abilities far exceed her job title—is a welcome distraction from the bureaucracy. 

Used and abused by his former owners, Jon trusts no one—particularly the smartass woman who’s caught Ben’s eye. He might not be certified human yet, but he has all the right parts to get to the bottom of this sexy mystery wrapped in a maid’s uniform.

Their attraction sparks unexpected new conduits among them, but when they realize Jon’s certificate comes with a terrible price, they must risk everything to foil an Anti-Mech plot—and hope they survive to lose themselves in each other’s arms.

Product Warnings

Coral-600

Pleasure is not a malfunction.

The DMA Files, Book 1

Coral-600 is the first and only one of her kind. An artificial intelligence prototype with realistic skin over her metal frame, she was deemed too expensive for mass production and gifted to the royal family.

She cannot legally have a relationship with a human, and it never entered her electronic brain to want more—to break the law. Until she meets Quinn, and her DNA-enhanced skin tingles with a completely new sensation. Desire.

His body damaged beyond repair in the war, Quinn survived—barely—by agreeing to have much of it rebuilt. His royal relatives have taken him in, but it’s tough adjusting to a body that doesn’t come with instructions.

As Coral helps Quinn cope with his new body, the connection between them reaches the melt-down point. But unless she can convince the authorities that humanity runs deeper than flesh and bone, she’ll have her CPU wiped clean—permanently.

Product Warning: This book contains artificial and natural flavors, lubricant (lots and lots of lubricant), and fun with oh-so-hard drives.

Thank you to everyone who has taken a chance on my robotic romances. I hope you enjoy reading Paisley's story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Thirty Days Hath September...

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November,
All the rest have thirty-one
Except February...

I can't be the only one who has to recite this poem to figure out how long a month is. I recite the thing with Great Gusto...until I get to February, when I dribble off. All the rest have thirty-one, except February which has twenty-eight except then there's leap year when it has twenty-nine and don't even get me started on leap seconds....

But THIS is a Leap Year. And since there's a Leap Year duo coming out this month, maybe I'd better know the real rhyme.

Wikipedia to the rescue!!

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and November.

Thirty-one hath all the rest,

Except for February clear which has 28 and 29 in a leap year.

Woo hoo! So now we know how to rhyme this February. Which is important because--S.L. Carpenter has a new Leap Year themed release, along with brand-new author pen name Remi Bond. TA-DA!!

Surprise for Three: Time Stands Still by Remi Bond

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR Annaliese loves Ransom, but she's too shy for him to date. She's throwing him this Leap Year birthday party as a farewell to her dreams of a future with him--she doesn't get his heart pumping, but she knows the beautiful exotic dancer popping out of the cake will.

THE RICH PLAYBOY Ransom needs the adrenaline rush extreme sports gives him, including high-risk sex. He has loved Annaliese since childhood but knows he's not settled enough for her. But still, if he could only get her to relax and enjoy herself, he knows she'd be happier.

THE INJURED SEAL Jack's finally home from war for good and looking for a sweet woman to settle down with. But somehow he's been maneuvered into popping out of a cake for some rich woman's birthday party. When he spies sweet Annaliese he knows she's the one he wants. But she loves another...

When the exotic dancer popping out of Ransom's birthday cake turns out to be a well-muscled man, it's a surprise for all three.

Chasing Dreams by S.L. Carpenter--more to come!!

Valentines and a FREE ebook!

Well here we are, only 20 days away from Valentine’s Day. So naturally I took up the challenge of compiling a list of sexy offerings that go down as smooth as a 5 gallon jug of Riunite.

Jodi’s Top 5 Sexy Gift Ideas

1)    Couples massage. You can either splurge on a trip to the spa, or crank the heat up a few notches by lighting some massage candles and giving each other the sexy rub down in the comfort of your own bedroom.  Don’t forget to crack that Riunite on ice, you naughty lovebirds.

2)      For him: a Man Crate. I was particularly intrigued by the Mount Rubsmore kit. Until I realized it wasn’t what I originally assumed it was. >.>

3)      Toys. No, I’m not talking Rock ‘Em Sock ‘EM Robots and Nerf guns. Though God knows those are on my list. Nope, let’s think sexier. Maybe the OhMiBod might be in order. The vibe’s intensity syncs to the music on your IPod or other playlist. So when Justin Timberlake swears he’s gonna Rock You to the break of day, he’s not just whistling Dixie. 

4)      Erotic Poetry. Yes, even you can be a poet who didn’t know it. With the Erotic Magnetic Poetry Kit it’s easier than ever to whisper dirty sweet nothings to each other via the fridge. Just don’t be surprised if you have hard time keeping the ice cubes from melting. Which will be completely unhelpful with keeping the Riunite chilled.

5)      Sexy Board Games. You too can be a BedroomRockstar! Or maybe you'd be more into in a wild game of BedroomBaseball! Ball and bat sold separately…

Speaking of bedroom rockstars, I just put Kissin’ Hell free at all online retailers. So make sure to grab your copy!

When Animals Help...

Sometimes we all need a little help in life. And lucky for us, animals are there to lend a hand. I am working hard to get the next story out to you, so here's a glimpse into my life with my personal assistant...my cat, Grayson.

He helps make sure I get the laundry done.

He makes sure I don't spend too much time on social media when I should be doing other things. You know, like feeding him.

He helps me decide on wall decor. He'll knock down whatever doesn't pass his high standards.

He's a great editor too! He simply eats the pages he doesn't approve of.

But at the end of the day, we all love our pets. They bring laughter, comfort, and joy to our lives when we seem to need it most. They also see us at our worst and love us anyway. 

Of course they also judge us. 

My cat often looks at me like this until I feel guilty. I don't often know what I've done wrong, but when he looks at me like this, I'm pretty sure I have committed the most heinous crime.

What do your animals do to keep you entertained? Share a story or picture below. I'd love to see what furry critter keeps you on task.

Happy Nude Year!--I mean Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year! I'm working today on my April Fools For Love story, one of the first purely contemporary romances I've done in a while. And because of that, I'd like to ask a question--

How do you get the hero and heroine's clothes off??

See, my vampires are able to turn to mist, and their clothes just drop through. Then they snap back, yummily naked. My witches can (spoiler) zap their clothes and their partner's clothes of AND on. Even my shifters can claw the things off.

But this...? I'm writing a contemporary, mundane, grounded-in-reality romance. I can't use any of those shortcuts, which hasn't bothered me before today. BUT TODAY... today, I wrote the sex scene, the one where the hero and heroine have intercourse.

So I sit down and start at the start of the scene, where he leads her by the hand into the room and locks the door and I'm writing and writing and writing, good grief am I writing, and FINALLY I get to the point where he can put his mouth on her nipple.

Yay! Okay, now for me (and the heroine) the sex has started.

At this point because it's lunch time I take a break. There's a bit of scientist in me, and since I started the scene at the beginning and stopped as I applied his tongue to her breast, I was able to get a word count for the day so far (and thus how many words it took them to get that far). Drum roll, please...

Four hundred words.

Four. Hundred. FOUR hundred. It took me almost TWO WHOLE PAGES to get them to where they could get down to the good stuff.

What about you? If you're a writer, do you enjoy writing the bits coming off, or do you have a shortcut? If you're a reader, do you like it when it takes them a couple pages to get naked or do you want them to get right down to it?
