Truth or Dare Tuesday with Imogene Nix

Welcome one and all to the inaugural post for the weekly game of Truth or Dare. Every Tuesday someone new will be baring all, either by answering some tricky questions or taking up a quirky dare. I hope you all have fun reading the posts and if you'd like to join in and take a turn at playing, just send me a message via my website.

Our first guest on Truth or Dare Tuesday is author, Imogene Nix. I'm so happy to have a fellow Aussie kick of proceedings and I thank Imogene for being brave enough to take the first spot.


A little bit about Imogene and why she chose Truth over Dare.

I’m an erotic Science Fiction author who lives in regional Queensland with my family, raising chickens, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. When I’m not busy writing, I run a small bookstore and read anything I can lay my hands on.

I chose the truth over the dare, because only one would be do-able for me and the problem is there are no fountains! Nah... deep down I'm really a squib so I couldn't bring myself to do most of the Dares.

Imogene has bravely answered five questions for us, lets see if we think she's been totally honest with her responses.

If you will be given a chance to become invisible for one day, what would do?

Spend the day pranking people. Moving stuff, making phone calls on their phones…Especially people who annoy me… pinch their car keys, stuff like that.

 

Where is the strangest place you’ve ever had sex?

In the boot of a four wheel drive in the garage J But I definitely won’t tell you the location.

 

What is the worst thing about being an adult?

I have to behave like an adult all the time. There are just times, you wish you could act like a kid, but have to act the adult. Especially around the kids!

 

If you could go out on a date with anyone in the world who would it be?

Rufus Sewell… he’s so gorgeous or maybe Jonathon Rhys Meyers or Colin Firth (and if I could get away with it, all three!)

What feature of yours are you self-conscious about?

My nose.

 

Well what do you all think?

 

It sounds like complete honesty to me but I think there might be more to the sex in the garage story...lol. Thanks for playing, Imogene and also thanks for popping our Truth or Dare cherry :)

 

 

 

 

Hot in Handcuffs Blog Hop

 

When trying to decide what my ebook giveaway would be for this blog hop I discovered something interesting. I contemplated the books I've written and was surprised that three of them have heroes who are cops and Doms. Two self confessed Doms and one that is dominant but doesn't claim the title...lol. I think the cop thing must say something about me and my love of men in uniform. The Dom thing is a given, I'm active in the BDSM lifestyle so Doms are my preference. Anyway, back to the ebook I decided to give away. The 'Hot in Handcuffs'  title of the blog means I want to stick with a kinky handcuff theme, but which alpha-male, dominant, cop do I choose? I love them all, in fact I love all the men that have featured in my books. I've fallen in love with each and everyone because in my eyes they're all perfect. Mainly because they're fictional and I don't have to be annoyed with them leaving the toilet seat up or controlling the TV remote...lol.

 

But I have to pick one, so I'm going back to where it all started. My first book, Finding Angel. That's the ebook I'm giving away and it features the cop I'm going to highlight today...Christian Shore. (For any FSOG fans reading this I'd like to say no, it's not a copycat name, my Christian graced the pages of Finding Angel before the other Mr Gray was released).

 

When I wrote Finding Angel one of my crit readers told me she thought I favored the other Shore brother in the story, of course I denied that because it wasn't true. Christian was my first Dom policeman and that means he has a special place in my heart. I like him because he's not your average brooding Dom. He has a sense of humor, a quick wit and a devious mind when it comes to BDSM play. He's also a damn good cop, protective of the woman he loves and great in bed, well, at least that's what Angel tells me. I tried to write him so he was as realistic as possible, he's a Dom but he also has a life that encompasses family, friends (both kinky and vanilla), work and relationship problems. Along with his brother, Daniel, he Doms the heroine of the book, Angel. He doesn't Dom the whole world. I guess, like all my BDSM characters, Christian reflects my personal view of the kink community in the books I write. It's part of who we are, it's not the whole of us.

 

I'm going to finish this post with a short excerpt from Finding Angel that contains one of my favorite quotes from Christian. He's talking to Angel on the phone not long after they've met...

 Finding Angel, 2011...Excerpt

"I have mine black, no sugar. Feel free to come and serve it to me in bed," Christian jested. "You know I could arrest you for trying to charge me for phone sex…"

"Yeah, sure," Angel quipped back at him.

"No really, I’m a cop." Christian stated, "As a Dom I wanted a profession where carrying cuffs wasn’t questioned."

‘You are way too nice to be a cop," Angel replied. "Most of the cops I meet are pricks."

"Serious, how many cops do you meet?" Christian sounded intrigued.

"Too many lately. So what are you planning to do today?" The fact Angel changed the subject so quickly wasn’t lost on Christian and he decided to store the information away for a later date.  

To win an ebook copy of Finding Angel simply tell me what's your favorite kind of Dom to read about? Do you like them all powerful and controlling or do you like a little bit of sensitivity to them? Or is there something else that turns you on about a dominant male?

Comment, including leaving your email address, on this post between the 10th and 15th October and follow my blog if you haven't already done so to go in the draw.

I hope you all enjoy the blog hop :)

Seducing a Cougar -

 

When a sexy, young, dominant man decides to seduce you, why resist when you can submit?

 

Susan Dean didn’t have any idea that taking a job at her brother’s law firm would change her life. Then she met junior partner Blake Daniel’s. They are complete opposites. Blake is young, confident, dominant and determined to claim anything he wants in life. Not that he’d want a woman who turns into a clumsy, nervous wreck that can barely string a sentence together when he’s in the same room as her, or would he? 

 

Blake is a patient man, and it’s a good thing he is because waiting for Susan Dean is driving him to distraction. The attraction between them is obvious. He turns her into a horny mess everytime they’re in the same room, not that Susan appears ready to admit that fact. Once Blake decides it’s time to make a move on his voluptuous co-worker, Susan will have no option but to submit to his seductive demands.
