jeesh...amazon

Some of you may have heard about Amazon pulling incest-related erotica. So, I've been reading a lot of the uproar and there is a string or whatever you call it on Twitter with the hash tag #amazoncensors.

I won't lie, this could affect me with my titles like Uncle Ed's Lap and the upcoming Father's Keeper. UEL is 'incest' in so far as it is a younger woman falling for her older widowed uncle (by marriage) and Father's Keeper is a long buried crush on a stepfather that emerges in adulthood and turns to an affair. Both are technically incest, in my understanding, so I guess theoretically, they too could disappear from Amazon at any moment (well, not FK as it's not there yet).

Selena Kitt blogs about this much more eloquently than I am managing right now on TSPR site and it's been covered on several sites including Teleread and Slashdot. Read up and weigh in if you feel they've gone too far.

I can say this, I've read graphic rape/murder/torture etc scenes or full chapters about gory serial killer murders and basically step by step instructions on how to commit a horrible crime that bother me way more than a grown man deciding he wants to have an affair with his step mom. Either way, if you feel the urge to speak up, join the Twitter stream, contact Amazon and have your voice heard, blog it, whatever you feel is right. Because without us (the customer) there is no Amazon. If enough people speak up, maybe they'll stop picking and choosing at random what is 'appropriate' and what is not. If there is going to be a morals code, it needs to be clear, concise and listed for all to read, understand and FOLLOW.

Click Me, Friend Me, Follow Me...Whatever The Kids Are Calling It These Days

Howdy, all. Hope you are well on this frigid Tuesday. We're currently on the East Coast and it is, well...Brrrr sums it up.

I'm playing around with Goodreads right about now. I have screwed it up three times or so. I'll get it. I've contacted them to let them know that I am in fact, well, myself, and to let me have my page. I hear they work pretty fast, so hopefully soon I'll have control of my author page.

What is my point (it seems obvious I need more coffee :) )? My point is, if you are a Goodreads reader be my friend, click my button, follow me, whatever the kids are calling it these days. I was shocked to see how many ratings I already had. And most good. Which makes me heart happy.

Back to work. We leave within the hour.

Balance

Last night I got a no on a short story. It's one of those iffy shorts that I knew wouldn't work for everyone, but still...a no is a no is a no. Then this morning I tripped over this doing my morning coffee cruise around the internet. I have so much unpacking and washing to do that traipsing around online seems that much more appealing. Anyway, wow! Talk about balance. A no that was sort of disappointing and then a review that was so wonderful!

I'm so, so pleased and the reviewer nailed my own emotions about Julianne. I love when I can tell that someone really got the tone of a piece. It makes me feel all sunny inside. Almost makes me forget how much laundry is in there to be done. And how much sand has been magically transported into my house. :D

Coming In January 2011

Going home again can be hard. Especially when your mom has left your step-father and you've got a tag along boyfriend in tow. But going home can also teach you a lot about who you are. And what you want...

Coming January '11 to Excessica

[sqeeeeeeal!]

"Once you read this story you will instantly become a fan of Parker Ford!"

Srsly. Big huge thanks to Claudia at Manic Readers for this review. It made my very long and very busy week. :) Go read it for yourself!

I was worried about reviewers' takes on Games as it is such an intense and risky book (in my opinion). So far, so good (knock wood).

P

a very unexpected~

very sweet review of Uncle Ed's Lap up at Coffee Fueled Erotica (written by the clever Willsin Rowe). I can only read that kind of review once or I feel my head swelling. So, so nice. I'm flattered. :)

P

[gasp!]

It's so pretty. FICTION is out today on Excessica's site and various vendors.

Good way to start a Friday. Now I have a mountain of unpacking to do. And then we have to wash that mountain. [grumble-mumble-sigh]

[Parker]

Gorgeous!

Uncle Ed's Lap is now in print. Available on Amazon. Under ten bucks. Score! Can't wait to hold my copies in my greedy little hands. :)

[Parker]

Up for best cover!

Uncle Ed's Lap is up for best cover at HEA reviews. Won't you go vote? Voting runs until the 8th. I didn't design the cover (I wish!), Selena Kitt did, but I think it's the best. It's one of my favorite covers ever. :)

[Parker]

Double the interviews, double the fun...

While we were out basking--and by basking I mean frying--in the sun that shone down fiercely during our latest trip, I was interviewed not once...but twice! (man that is a hell of a sentence, yeah?)

Firstly, Lux Zakari asked a few questions along her Dirtyville/Kinkyville interview route. And hey, I answered. Look at me go :) And then I see from my mail this morning that I am the interview spotlight at 1 Romance Ebooks this week.

Now I have to go find the aloe lotion and pack. Again. This time I'm taking more sunscreen. Stay cool.

[Parker]

Seriously

Has seriously reviewed both of my books! A great review for Uncle Ed's Lap and a staggering review for Games. Much appreciated. I can't hardly believe all the good words on my work lately. :)

[Parker]

If I could kiss this reviewer...I would!

Such a great review at Happily Ever After Reviews for Uncle Ed's Lap. I swear, I got a little teary eyed. What a great way to end a lazy weekend in the sun. We're actually at home for a week or two. :) Five tea cups! Now I want tea, but iced of course.

Excerpt from Games

Excerpt from Games by Parker Ford

And would they really do it? That was the sixty-four thousand dollar question. Would they?

Somewhere in her, she believed they would.

“Are we walking around or sneaking out the back?” Brett said, almost to himself.

She squeezed his hand. “If we go down that back hall and past the restrooms, there’s the alley,” she whispered to her coconspirator in crime. Possibly a crime against themselves, against each other.

We’re doing this together and we are the only two players. Breathe you dimwit . . .

“Good girl,” Brett said, his lips pressed to her hair. “You’re so fucking smart. I want to put my hands under that skirt and get you off right here, in this crush of drunken people and college kids and locals. I want to fuck you with my fingers until you clutch that bar and beg me to take you.”

He said all of this into her ear, his breath hot, his voice soft.

Alexandra felt her knees sag a bit. His dirty confession was completely unexpected.A
breathtaking blindside that made her feel that at any moment her ligaments and muscles would give up the ghost and she would fall.

“God, stop.” But she didn’t mean it.

He handed her a beer, grinning. “Drink up.” He tipped his cold beer mug to hers and she shivered at his mouth on the rim. His mouth always did weird things to her insides if she let herself watch him.

“Cheers,” Alexandra said. “To liquid courage.”

Brett kissed her lips and said into her ear, so only she could hear. “And back alley blow jobs and my gorgeous little whore of a wife.”

Alex trembled, a nervous laugh flying off her lips to be recognized only by Brett. All the others were ignoring them. For now.

As soon as she started to feel the effects of the beer, she squeezed Brett’s hand. A cluster of smokers had pushed out the back door into the alley, so she knew there was an audience and they would be seen—that was the point.

“Last chance to bail,” he said, kissing her full force, putting their mugs on the bar and pulling her into him so she could feel the hard rod of his cock in his black jeans. “I won’t say a word if it’s no. I won’t. You’re safe with me.” He kissed her harder.

She knew she was and that was exactly why Alexandra tugged his hand and pulled him to the long narrow hallway that smelled like spilled beer, cigarettes and urine from the restrooms. Under the dark smell of the hallway lilted the earthy scent of pot and the dirty street odor of the city. Alexandra pushed the door back with her bottom. Her skirt raising up for a second, the warm splintery wood caressing the bare backs of her thighs for a moment.

When they hit the alley they were both so wound up, so head over heels turned on it was almost as if no one was really there after all. But others were there. A few men were lounged against the alley wall about six feet away. Two more smoked over by a dumpster. All within good view of the couple and what they were about to do. But to Alex it was as if they were the only two bodies in that filthy cobblestone alley.

Brett pushed her flush to the brick wall. His hands inching under her short blue skirt—gas flame blue, cobalt blue, the blue of his first Chevy he always told her. His mouth pushed against hers, his tongue bullying hers until she simply caved, letting him direct the kiss and pull her under. She bent to his will as he pushed his fingers under her small skirt and started to rub her clit through her panties. Never ever breaking that kiss.

She heard one of the onlookers grunt—almost pig-like—and when Brett pushed his fingers past the tiny elastic barrier of her panties and shoved his fingers deep into her pussy, she nearly came that second. Instead he kissed her harder and another man coughed softly while still another laughed.

moving on up

The release date for Fiction has been moved up! I am not complaining. Look for it at Excessica on July 9th!

Happy Friday.
