Sigh, vampires. Who doesn't love these creatures of the night? I know I do and so does today's guest, Tamsin Baker. I've interviewed her and discovered what's to love about her latest release, MMF regency romance, First Bite.
Can two possessive and passionate vampire's make a relationship
work with the one human they are both destined to love?
Benedict’s boring existence as a London gentleman is called into
question the night he meets Lina, the madame of a local brothel. Under her
dominance he finds pleasure so sweet he is hungry for more, but he is not the
only one with an appetite to fill.
Lina entices the beautiful Benedict into her dungeon only to
discover that he is her blood mate. Fear fills her as she enters the unknown,
yet the lure of perfect bliss is too much.
Antony, Lina’s long time friend and lover finds Lina
and Benedict and cannot help joining in the sexual bliss. Disaster strikes for
the tortured hero when he too learns he is Benedict’s blood mate. He must face
a past that still devastates him and find a way to make their ménage work.
Welcome again to In A Dream Beyond, Tamsin! It’s always great to have you,
especially when you bring such delicious reads. Today you’re here with a
vampire ménage, First Bite. What inspired this novel?
This
was one of the most organic and weirdest stories I’ve ever written. I started
writing it as a M/F vampire story for a submission call, and made it Regency
set with female Domme elements- just because I liked them at the time. After
the first ten thousand words one of my friends dared me to make it a ménage, so
I brought in another male, and because I love M/M love, it turned into a MMF
story.
Did you have to do any particular research?
Sort
of. I’ve always read Regency novels and had done a little research into
BDSM by talking to other authors and a
real life Domme.
Can you tell us what your writing
process is usually like?
It
has changed a lot over the past two years, but when I wrote this one, I wrote
it all over the place. Whichever scene came to me, wrote, then would jump
backwards and forwards. I usually write the sex scenes and the fight scenes
first, then fill in the middle. I ‘vomit’ write a first draft, then go back and
layer at least once.
It
was my first real ménage and I remember getting to a scene and wondering why it
wasn’t working. Thanks to some great help from other authors, I realized that
scene was in the wrong pov, and didn’t have all three people’s pov.
There are a lot of vampires out
there… why are we going to love the threesome from First Bite best?
Probably
because it’s quite different. You don’t usually get a male and female vampire
sharing a male human. Plus these vamps are beautiful and a little tortured-
especially Antony. My favorite type of hero!
Time for a confession… Is it me, or
do you have a thing for vamps? *wiggles eyebrows* (For readers that haven’t
heard, Tamsin has a sexylicious historical vampire ménage series.) What do you
like about them?
I
definitely used to! I wrote this story
first, then the trilogy after that J theres something super
sexy about blood sucking, super strong, amazingly erotic, immortals.
If you were a vampire, what’s the
first thing you’d do?
Definitely
find some one to feed on. What else? ;)
Finally, books allow us to dream and this blog is all about dreams… so, please tell us, what’s your dream?
To be able to write full time and give up my day job. That would be a dream come true.
Heating up the cool:
September quickie
Favorite color: PINK!
Favorite scent: hmmmm my
man’s deodorant.
Favorite food:
chocolate… lasagna.
Favorite song: Let it
go!

What you look forward to

Tamsin Baker is an Aussie girl who just discovered
erotic romance ten months ago. Before that, she would read sexy romance,
skipping the plot and looking for the all the naughty bits. Since then, she has
written erotic romance and erotica novels of varying length and has had thirty
published (so far!). She absolutely loves reading and writing! She has two
other jobs, including kids and a hubby too – but writing is a passion that she
has to indulge for fear of insanity. M/M is a passion of hers so even when she
writes ménage, there is always an M/M story. She particularly enjoys writing
female dommes, but she loves experimenting in all genres. Tamsin is learning to
write and read more one step at a time. Soon, she’ll have stories published in
every sub-genre of erotic romance – well that’s her aim anyway!
~~ ~ Excerpt ~~ ~
Lina
focused on pushing her hunger for Benedict’s blood down to a less rampant level.
She wanted to play with her prey for a little while first.
“Walk
over to the wooden step to your left.”
Benedict
turned his head and located the piece of equipment she was talking about. She
sensed his fear inching up a notch but he did what she said.
Lina
watched him move, feeling his emotions as though they were her own. He was
naturally confident, strong and sure of himself. She would make him submit to
her and in it he would find the greatest pleasure.
“Lay
across the bench. Reach over as far down as you can.”
His
eyes flashed a little, mutiny gathering in their yellow flecks.
“Lina,
I’m not going to…”
“You
will do as I tell you to, Benedict.” She placed a soft blanket over the wood to
protect his pelvis, then she pointed at the bench expectantly. She could make
him, she was far stronger, but this type of pleasure had to be accepted
willingly, there was no other way.
“Will
you hurt me?”
She
flashed him a smile no one had ever resisted.
“Yes,
but I will not harm you. If you yell stop, I’ll stop.”
His
eyes narrowed as he replayed her words. She held his gaze, then pointed again.
He
sighed but lay over the wood, his buttocks high, round and firm.
Lina
groaned at the sight. What a magnificent specimen of a human male.
She
knelt on the floor quickly to tie his ankles and wrists to the four separate
legs of the bench, spreading him wide. Lina then stood and removed the annoying
barriers of her dress, chemise and shoes.
Clad
only in her garter belt and silk stockings, she pressed herself against
Benedict’s ass, her wet pussy aching for release.
“Fuck…Lina!”
Benedict struggled against his bonds, too strong for a mere human to break free
from.
“Such
a nice ass you have, Benedict and not a mark on it. Would you like me to spank
you?”
He
was silent as she reached between his legs and cupped the heavy sac.
“Perhaps.”
The
teasing tone of his response made her smile. She loved his cheekiness.
She
controlled her swing, and spanked him: twice on his left cheek and four times
on the right. He cried out on the last touch, so she leaned forward to kiss the
pink skin.
“Did
you like that, my pet?”
She
ran her hands down the back of his powerful thighs and up his ass once again.
“I
don’t know.”
Lina
smiled again. An honest response, how pleasantly unusual.
“I
need something more.”
Using
speed a human couldn’t see, Lina chose a riding crop from the wall and was back
before Benedict realized she had gone.
“I
think you are a good man, Benedict, but also a very bad boy. Shall I use my
riding crop on you?”
