What Happens in Vegas....

 by Kayleigh Malcolm  

  What happens in Vegas. Stays in Vegas.
Everyone has heard of Sin City’s cardinal rule. I wonder how many people really do take it to heart and go crazy.
The first book in my Sin City Clique is out today. It's a series revolving around 5 women who have been friends since middle school. They were the freaks in the back of the school bus who became life-long friends.
As the years have passed they have made a point to get together on a yearly basis. This time they all met in Las Vegas with every intention to follow through on their fantasies. Each of them have a hidden fantasy that they are going to explore this weekend and Madam Eve has helped them meet the perfect man…or should I say men. They do have a common fantasy about bisexual men.
I had a lot of fun getting to know each of these incredible ladies and I’m looking forward to introducing them to you over the coming year.
 Have you been to Vegas before? Would you do something really crazy there if you knew it would stay a secret?

Rolling in Sin blurb:
An exciting weekend in Sin City with her friends is just what Audrey needs. Living a mundane, repetitive life in a data entry job and having major body insecurities have held her back from pursuing her deepest fantasies. A trip to Vegas with her best friends might be her chance for a single night of memories to last her for the rest of her life.
   Max and Geoff are lovers well known in high-rolling poker games. Spontaneity and exhibitionism brought them together, but now they want a woman to share their lives with. Hopefully, Madame Eve can find them a woman open to their fetishes who isn’t more interested in their money than them.
   Audrey is the physical embodiment of everything they desire in a woman. Lush, gorgeous and intelligent. One night isn’t going to be enough with her, but can they convince her to stay?
   It doesn’t take long for Audrey to realize she’s way over her head with the gorgeous gamblers. They actually think she’s sexy and desirable. Not only that, they want to share their lives with her! Can she set aside her insecurities and spend her life with them?

Sticking with one genre is a talent she hasn't achieved yet and can be found creating worlds as normal as our own or as fantastic as her dreams. Her characters have to face real life challenges, as many of us do, but love always finds a way to conquer all.

This is how to “Romance the Capital”…

By Kayleigh Malcolm

What happens when you put a huge group of introverted authors, who are pretending to be extroverted, into a hotel for 48 hours?   Pure Magic
Armed with a car load of swag, books, and knitting, my husband and I headed up to Ottawa last Thursday. What happened over the next two days was the best conference I’ve ever been to.


Very few times in my life have I been somewhere that vibrated as acutely with positive energy. Everyone was smiling and laughing. It doesn’t matter if you’re an author or a reader, everyone has their favourite authors and the opportunity to “fangirl” all over them is overwhelming.
I was able to meet so many people that I’ve traded messages and emails with and this was our first chance to talk face to face. I’ve known Deb Cooke online for years but never had a chance to meet her. And when I did she gave me and Anne Lange a tiara to wear! LOL I was helping her with her event. Bouncing around in a tiara handing out truffles is the best way to start a Saturday J

 
I spoke on my very first conference panel with Elizabeth Lister and Nathan Burgoine about LGBT romances.  That was fun for us all, and I think I giggled my way through most of it. We kept it casual and more like an intimate chat amongst friends. The questions never stopped and all three of us had similar points of view but we all come at this genre from different perspectives. It inspired me to push my writing boundaries as well and I really hope we can do it again next year.


And then came Saturday afternoon, which started with “Speed Date an Author”.  Ever want to meet and learn about 25 authors in 50 minutes? This is how you do it. It was loud and crazy but so much fun! After a short break where my best friends shoved hummus and pitas into me, we headed into the Book Signing.  I wish I could remember everyone I spoke to but honestly at this point it all becomes a blur in my memory. 


My one regret is I didn’t get a picture with Kate Richards and Valerie Mann. I was really bummed about that. But, there is always next year right?!
My kitting wasn’t touched and my laptop stayed closed.  Although, my phone was glued to my hand so I could tweet and Instagram all weekend. We spent the 5 hour drive home talking about plans for next year and the possibility of going to the Philly Author Fest in November J RTC 2016 is already looking like it’s going to be bigger and better than this year and I can’t wait!
Today I’m back to normal. Stretchy pants and a sweater with my lap top. My inspiration well is filled to overflowing and I keep bouncing between manuscripts! Thanks to my wonderful husband I have tons of pictures from the weekend. If you check out my facebook page I have almost all of them up now. For now I have to get to work and start putting the voices down on page before they get any louder and decide to start waking me up in the night. LOL 
If you didn’t know already, Decadent came out with a sub-series in their 1 Night Stand imprint, called Romancing the Capital. My contribution is Claiming His Cub and all the stories are set during last weekend!!

I Love a Man in Uniform

  
There’s something very iconic about the RCMP uniform. The bright red surge and unique flat brimmed beige hat, they are about as Canadian as you can get.  In their everyday “blues” they look like most police officers, but it’s their formal uniforms that are the most recognizable.
I’ve always blamed my family for my obsession with uniforms, especially those of the “Mounties”.
   I was about eight when my uncle joined the Force. At 6’4” he towered over me in that bright red uniform and I knew he could protect me from anything. Superheros had nothing over the monster crushing strength of my Uncle Steve. J 
   (My cousin was a Mountie and my other two Uncles were Navy and I have a soft spot for them too, but that’s a story for another post.)
   When I heard of the special 1NS call for books set at the Romancing the Capital convention in Ottawa my first thought was of these brave officers who protect our country. It wasn’t a far stretch from there to creating a special RCMP taskforce empowered with keeping the peace within a paranormal community. Paranormal/Research/Intelligence/Discipline and Education or PRIDE for short.  (Really nothing is a far stretch from the paranormal side of my brain. I see magic everywhere. lol)
   Claiming His Cub is my first full M/M story, and won’t be my last. (lol) I love the way Dary and Rhoo naturally started flirting in my head. It’s not often that characters walk into my thoughts fully formed and flirty. Usually I have to entice them with chocolate and wine, but these two were steaming up my gray matter the moment I decided to write their story.
I’m looking forward to exploring the PRIDE detachment and introducing you to some of Dary’s co-workers.

An AllRomanceEbooks.com BESTSELLER!



Dary, an officer with the Paranormal/Research/Intelligence/Discipline and Education department (PRIDE) of the RCMP, has little time to pursue his personal interests outside of his job. As a dominant bear shapeshifter in his prime, and a taste for slim, trim boy-toys, his preference has brought him to a crossroad—his desire to find a partner to share his life with is overcast by immature males who don’t share his interests When he learns about the 1Night Stand service and Madame Eve’s incredible track record for successful matches, he utilizes a rare weekend away from his job to indulge in some much-needed fantasy. 

Rhudaii is a unique man in every imaginable way. With an unusually youthful appearance and a little-known inherent bombshell of his own, he longs for a deeper connection with a man than just instant gratification. Being an avid romance junkie, Rhoo plans a getaway to a book convention in Ottawa, except surrounded by hundreds of women isn’t what he’s looking for. Instead, he arranges a date through the 1Night Stand service. 

When the men meet sparks fly and the sexual tension soars. Each of them has a secret that could make or break any potential long-term relationship. But, what if they have more in common than they thought? 




Excerpt:
   "Do you have your ID with you?” the bartender asked.
   Dary smirked when Rhoo sighed dramatically while passing over his driver’s license. “I think I’m going to have to carry my ID until I’m fifty.”
   The man behind the bar winked at him when he returned the card. “You’ll be the envy of everyone you know with a baby face like yours.”
   The hair on Dary’s nape bristled, and he fought the urge to growl at the man when he went to get their beers. It might be some harmless flirting, but he didn’t need another man cutting in on his date. His bear rubbed aggressively against his consciousness, wanting to swipe his claws at what he viewed as a poacher.
   “Are you hungry?” Dary asked. “We can get a table or eat here at the bar.” Sitting at a table would get them away from their overly flirtatious bartender.
   “I’m good either way, but this is nice sitting here with you. It’s a bit more casual than if we were at a table.”
   Rhoo’s hands moved as he spoke, drawing Dary’s attention to his long, delicate fingers. Driven by a need he didn’t want to contemplate, he caught one and turned it over, stroking his thumb along the edge of his palm, feeling the thickened skin on the side. “For a man who says he sits around in his job, you have the calluses of a warrior.”
   Color raced from Rhoo’s neck to his cheeks. “I said I have a lot of downtime in my job, not that I sit on my ass.” In a smooth, quickly executed move that spoke of hours of practice, Rhoo slid his hand from Dary’s grasp to clasp his wrist. He angled Dary’s hand so it was palm up. “You’re one to talk.” Rhoo rubbed his thumb over the thick ridge on his trigger finger. “You work with firearms.” His caressed the sensitive skin of Dary’s palm to his inner wrist, brushing the pulse point with his thumb. “Are you made of thick muscle everywhere?”

The RTC convention might be sold out but the book signing is open and free to the public. Be sure to pop in an say Hi! There will be lots of giveaways and prizes to be won!
