In all of her
books, she combines romance, suspense, and humorous elements, for no thrilling
story can stand without a comic relief.
Character Interview
Beverley: What’s your name?
Raiden: I’m Raiden Stout, a
naval architect. This means I create boats—yachts mostly—for customers.
Beverley: Where did
you grow up?
Raiden: Here and
there, but mostly in the US. <laughs> My mom is from Spain, my father
came from Hawaii. They love to travel, so I traveled with them. Right now, they
are in Spain once more.
Beverley: During
what time period does your story take place?
Raiden: It’s a
contemporary story and I’m caught in the middle of a damn serious crime.
Several men are abducted, and I’m one of them. <shakes head> Those were
the worst days of my life. Yeah, I know, that sounds lame, but for me…I had
never been locked up, never gotten into trouble with the law. And there I was,
suddenly, caged and…well, prepared for being turned into a toy. No fun at all.
No, ma’am, no fun at all.
Beverley: What’s
your story/back story? Why would someone come up with a story about you?
Raiden: Hey, I
don’t know why anyone would write about me. I came into this story as Lesley’s
customer at her dungeon. You should know, I wanted to be more for her than the
guy showing up to ask for a session, but for a year she didn’t accept any of my
offers. But then…I’m still hoping she’ll change her mind. <pushes back his
long hair> I was told I’m quite a unique guy. Maybe that was the trigger to
pull me into this story. That’s okay. I’m fine where I’m—with Lesley. She’s a
great lady.
Beverley: What’s
your goal in this story?
Raiden: <laughs
shakily> To get out of my predicament!
Beverley: What
conflicts are you facing?
Raiden: Too many.
I’m trying to convince Lesley that I could be the man in her life and make her
happy. She hasn’t seen that for a long time. And then, after my abduction, I’m
trying to get away from that awful place. My kidnappers are armed, trained—no
people to mess with. I don’t have a chance, not really.
Beverley: Do you
have a plan for resolving them?
Raiden: I won’t
let Lesley go, that’s for sure. I’ll try and tell her time and again that I’m
worthy to become the lover in her life. Maybe it’ll take time, but I’m patient.
As for being abducted—I’ll do what I can to get away. I’ll take every chance,
fight if I have to.
Beverley: Is there
anything else you’d like us to know about you?
Raiden: I’m an entertainer. I won’t perform on a stage, but if you’re planning your wedding reception, I promise, I’ll cheer up the ladies—all of them—and turn your party into a great one. Believe me, I might look like a lion, but I’m a smooth dancer and have a charming personality. <winks at the interviewing lady> I can show you.
Blurb for Barred Doors
FBI Agent
Hayes’s friend Thomas is kidnapped by a group of six men, trained and heavily
armed. Though his wife watches the crime, her observation doesn’t result in
arrests. Her description reveals though that a crime syndicate operates in the
Washington, DC, area, kidnapping young men and taking them to an unknown
hideout. Raiden Stout, Lesley’s friend, becomes one of the victims, and Agent
Hayes joins the investigation to solve the crime and find his friends.
Excerpt from Barred Doors
Jacklyn
hurried toward the door. “Do you remember Raiden?”
“I wondered
where he was.” Nicolas’s eyes widened. “Did she put him in the cargo area?”
Lesley had
opened a steel bar door within the van, locked a ramp, and let out her new pet,
dressed in black leather tethers with several steel accessories that kept him
on all fours. The mittens and knee covers added to the illusion that the
dungeon queen had brought her lion on a leash. Raiden appeared at ease, though
he was restricted like a hardcore criminal. The gag shaped like a bone was the
icing on the cake.
Nicolas heard
Jacklyn laugh as she greeted her best friend, but she also told them to hurry
to avoid shocking the neighbors.
Lesley’s warm
laughter echoed in the hallway. “Oh, you think they’d be shocked? Don’t you go
for a walk with your sub from time to time?”
Jacklyn put
her hands on her hips and looked from Lesley down to Raiden and back. “When I
invited both of you for a second breakfast, I expected you to come as a
couple—both upright and dressed like normal people.”
“Oh. Normal
people. Ouch.” Lesley’s face fell as she became aware that Nicolas was dressed
in a dark blue dress shirt and sand-colored pants—upright and without any
shackles. She looked contrite. “My bad.” She patted Raiden’s brown wavy mane.
“Before you get this wrong—Raiden was thrilled by my idea to tie him up like
this. Okay?”
Jacklyn
shrugged. “So, it’s three plates and a bowl?”
They burst into
laughter once more. Nicolas looked at the guy on the floor. In addition to the
many restrictions and a wagging rubber tail in his ass, he was wearing a cock
cage that must hurt. The sight made Nicolas’s penis ache.
“Do you think
it’s possible to peel him out of the layers of cuffs and tethers?” Jacklyn
cocked her head, the sparkle of joy still in her eyes. “Or did you forget the
keys?”
“Keys are
old-fashioned. The modern locks are magnetic.” Once more, she patted Raiden,
who waited patiently, as if kneeling on the floor in the buff was the best
thing that ever happened to him. “All right, you win.” She turned to Nicolas.
“You’re about the same size. Would you mind lending him something to wear?”
“Not at all.
I prefer four plates instead of three and also the chance for a conversation.”
