Monday's Tea

Welcome to my Monday's Tea Room

I’m thrilled to have Iyana Jenna as my guest on my Monday’s tea room. We will be talking about the release of her latest book, Will and Pleasure. Also, we will learn more what make this extraordinary woman thrive.

Here's a wee blurb: 

After his parents’ nasty divorce, Jake Welther was raised by his mother, so when his father dies, he’s surprised to find his name among his brothers’ in the will. Jake never thought he’d get anything from his old man, but neither the house nor the money is his inheritance. It’s a young sex slave named Luke.

Luke is a product of the streets. One unfortunate night, a bad encounter with a client ended with him curled up in an alley, filthy and hurt. When Craig Welthier Sr. took him in, Luke thought he was finally safe and protected. Little did he know Craig would turn out to be worse than any of his previous clients.

With his father gone, Jake doesn’t know what to do with Luke. His three brothers see no harm in continuing to use their father’s slave for their own twisted purposes. Though he doesn’t think of himself as anyone’s hero, he knows what Luke has endured at the hands of his family is wrong. Can Jake stand up to his brothers to rescue Luke? Will Luke find his happy ending after all? 

As usual, Let us start our chat by asking her some personal questions. I promise to be gentle with you. Well! I’ll try and do my best.

Here’s Iyana, 

Q: Welcome Iyana, I’m so glad you could be us.

Thank you so much for having me on your blog, Mya. I really appreciate it.

Q: Can you tell us a little about yourself? Are you married or do you have kids?

I’m a DJ at a night club and sometimes I also put on some act on the stage … no. LOL. So I really want to say I’m a full time author, but I’m not. I work as an English teacher and a course book writer on the day. I’m not married but I have kids, my five kitties!

Q: What one word would you use to describe yourself?

Forgetful

Q: A little bird told me that you enjoy reading. Is it true?

The bird is right! I love reading and I often find it difficult to leave a book/story I’m reading to do something else. My sister often reminds me to read only at weekends but how can I?

Q: What is your favorite Book and why?

Any books by Jeffrey Archer. I think they are genius and I’m always pulled into the universe Archer has created in them.

Q: Do you have pets? If so, how many?   

My cats, yes. Right now there are five, Larva, Cil, Nyil, Betsy, and Horus. Horus is the one I usually sleep with. Hee.

Q: How did you get started writing m/m story?

First, I remember reading about m/m stories about ten years ago. I don’t know but I was so innocent at that time. Even the idea of men being together amazed me. But the more I read, the more I got fascinated by it. When I tried my hand writing that kind of story, it only dealt with the relationship and no sex scenes at all. My. If I remember those times…

Q: Your newest book, Will and Pleasure. Can you tell us a bit about your main characters?

Yeah. Luke was a hooker and he usually only took clients. I think he never imagined that one day he’d become a sex slave and had to serve his master’s sons after the man died. Jake, one of the sons, didn’t approve of getting a slave as his inheritance and tried to set Luke free.

It sounds so exciting! I’m looking forwards to read it . Thank you Iyana for joining me today on Monday’s Tea.  I hope you have enjoyed your visit as much as I have.

I’m the one who should be thankful. Thank you, Mya.

What have i done today?

A bouquet of Taboo

Lately, I have been doing some researches about polyamorous relationships. 

It amazed me the huge amount of negative points of view that “monogamous” people have.  While reading several articles about the subject, the same questions kept popping at me. So here’s some of the answers, I could come up with.

• What about Jealousy & Insecurity? Possessiveness can be a major stumbling block, and often it prevents what could be a successful polyamorous relationship from forming. When people are viewed, even inadvertently, as possessions, they become a commodity, a valuable one at that. Just as most people are reluctant to let go of what little money that they have, people are also reluctant to "share" their beloved. After all, what if [their beloved] finds someone else who is more attractive/intelligent/well-liked/successful/etc... Than [themselves], and decides to abandon the relationship in favor of the new lover? These sorts of feelings act as inferiority complexes inside of polyamorous relationships and must be resolved, completely, before a polyamorous relationship can be truly successful.

• What about the society’s point of view? I found out that the social views on Polyamory vary by country and culture. For example, in a 2003 article in The Guardian by Helena Echlin, Clinical Psychologist Deborah Anapol, one of the founders of the Polyamory movement, argues that Great Britain "is about 15 years behind America in its acceptance" of Polyamory. But a computer systems manager in Leicester, UK, who practices Polyamory, disagrees, saying "British people are if anything more tolerant than in America, which is perhaps why British polys are less in need of support groups. We have a tradition of people minding their own business here. People might disapprove, but they won't try to mess up your life. In America, they might call social services."

In this day and age, we shouldn't be ashamed of who we are and with whom(s). Thanks you for the triad couples who came forward to my invitation and to those authors out there that write poly-romance.

Reflections.. By Michael Montoya

Your reflections.. silvery lines ..black and white images  I want to find.. the forms they shine.. without your face..  where only two naked..  reside in this place,  no colors needed...all set free...reflections of art.. is all I see...close to your reflections..is where I want to be

Monday's Tea with Alyssa Steel

I’m so excited to have Alyssa Steel join me for this week’s Monday’s Tea guest, and I can’t wait to hear more about her latest book, Forget Romance: Five Tales of Erotica

Forget Romance: Five Tales of Erotica from Alyssa Steel

Isabel: The Reluctant Mistress- A virginal peasant girl is reluctantly thrust into the spotlight as she auditions to join the king's court of mistresses. Do You Trust Me? Shelby and Chris are a not so happily married couple on the brink of divorce. One day, Chris asks her if she trusts him and Shelby has to decide how far she will go to please her husband and save her marriage.

Taken by Surprise- Jennifer often drifts into fantasies, and she and Alec enjoys sharing their secret desires with each other. One day, Jennifer comes home to discover that Alec has gone to great lengths to fulfill some of her darkest fantasies. Fighting her fears, anxieties, and indoctrinated social mores prove to be difficult for her as Alec leads her deeper and deeper into her fantasy world.

The Concert- After two years of a hot and heavy office flirtation, Mike and Lori are finally going out on a date. When Lori runs into a friend during dinner, she gets some advice that is sure to knock Mike off his feet. Although nervous about making herself vulnerable, she follows her friend’s advice and ends up experiencing the most amazing night of her life.

His Heat, My Desire- After her fiancé moved out without a warning, a young woman decides go to a party. She hopes he will be there so he can see that she’s not heartbroken. She decides to take a short cut through an alley and comes face to face with her deepest desires

Now she’s here to share a few things with us and maybe we’ll even get a hint of what is coming up soon.

Q: Welcome Alyssa, I’m so glad you could join us.

Alyssa: Thank you for having me. I think this will be fun.

Q: Can you tell us a little about your background and how you started writing?

Alyssa: What is there to say? I’m just another erotica writing, homeschooling, atheist, feminist trying to make vodka money in the Bible Belt…where, by the way, I can’t buy vodka everywhere, and only after 12 on Sundays. Damned blue laws. But I digress.

I’ve been making up stories in my head since I was a little kid, and I first starting writing “books” when I was about 8. They were really just ridiculous little booklets made out of construction paper and staples. I can’t draw a straight line with a ruler, so the illustrations were laughable, but I think the writing was quite good for an eight year old. I pestered my whole family into buying my books, but the only person who ever bought one was my grandpa.

Q: What do you find hardest about writing? Easiest?

Alyssa: Finding the time is far and away the most difficult part about writing for me. As a mother who homeschools a middle school boy, my days are pretty much filled with fighting over math, trips to the skate park, pretending I’m interested in Minecraft, and making sure my laptop is always on tight lockdown. I wouldn’t want him to stumble across anything I write under this pen name.

Q: what is your favorite Book and why?

Alyssa: It’s hard to pinpoint a favorite book. I love so many books for so many reasons, and the ones I love most are constantly jostling each other in and out of the top spots.  Among some of my favorites are: Lightning by Dean Koontz; The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break by Steven Sherrill; A Soldier of the Great War by Mark Helprin; Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte; The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera; and pretty much anything written by Franz Kafka. The Castle is my favorite of his longer works and Poseidon is my favorite Kafka short story.

Q: What one word would you use to describe yourself?

Alyssa: Caffeinated.

Q: A little bird told me that you love cooking. Is it true?

Alyssa: I absolutely adore cooking, especially when I have the time to try new recipes and the resources to have fresh and quality ingredients. But life can get busy and sometimes dinner becomes an afterthought so that I end up leaning on my tried and true, quick fix meals. I do try to cook as much from scratch as possible, though.

Q: How many books have you written?

Alyssa: Written and published are two very different words. The number changes depending on what your meaning is and whether or not my construction paper booklets, and the other novels of my teenage years count.

Q: Tells us about your 1^st book.

Alyssa: Well, as I recall, it had something to do with a puppy and a goose, who were best friends…Wait, I imagine you mean something more recent than 1982. Isabel: The Reluctant Mistress was the first book I published under Alyssa Steel, which is my pen name. It was borne out of a fantasy I’ve been having since I was old enough to fantasize.

Q: And last, do you have anything you would like to say to your current readers or to those that haven't yet read your work(s)?

Alyssa: I write the things that turn you on. What’s your superpower?

Q: Thank you Alyssa Steel for joining me today on Monday’s Tea.  I hope you have enjoyed your visit as much as I have.

Alyssa: My pleasure! Cheers!
