I am Shelby James – self-loathing poet and artist, daughter, sister, best friend, and bisexual commitment-phobe. My life has been a lackluster existence. The only constant bright spot in my life is my best friend, my soul-mate, Veronica “Roni” Monroe.
 

For years, I have given into my lust for both men and women, but now, at the age of thirty-two, I realize I need more than a just good booty call.
 

I need more.
 

While on my search for “more”, I find much more than I bargained for. This time, giving into my urges may destroy everything good in my life.
 

Follow me on my journey to find my happiness. To find the real me. To find the beauty in the darkness.

 

 

 

***Warning: This excerpt contains graphic language and scenes of a highly sexual nature.

Roni just smiles and nods. I think I have satisfied her quizzical nature, so now on to spicier topics — her night with Kyle, first and foremost.

I query, “You look like you are about to burst at the seams. Are you going to share your details? Inquiring minds want to know.”

She’s as excited as a schoolgirl talking about her first date and it’s kind of cute, but extremely annoying at the same time.

“You saw us at the beach!  He was sooo good, Shel. I mean, he really knows how to work his tool and apparently my body.” She takes another bite of her prosciutto and mozzarella, before taking a sip of wine.

I can feel the smirk form on my lips, “Fuck, I knew you were working it for our benefit. You are such a fucking tease.” I laugh and take a sip of my wine before commenting, “You two were killing me. Riley got so hard and hot that he stripped and took a dip in the water while I sat there watching him and listening to you get fucked. I couldn’t take it. I had to, um, never mind.”

“Don’t never mind me. You what?” Roni asks as she swats at my arms in a fit of irritation.

With a bit of embarrassment, I admit, “You guys fucking worked me into a frenzy. And I uh, yeah, I played with myself as I watched and listened. It was hot as shit. Then Riley came out of the water, stood watching me and never touched me. Well, he did kiss me, as my fingers were buried deep in my pussy. It. Was. Fucking hot!”

Roni is looking at me with what almost looks like lust in her eyes and says, “Shit, Shelby. That is sexy as hell. Damn, I wish I’d seen that.”

Growing up, Brooke's mother instilled a deep respect for the English language and a love of words. She taught Brooke to read and write and shared her appreciation for poetry. As a teen, poetry became an outlet for Brooke's innermost thoughts and deepest, often times darkest feelings.

 

In school, teachers always told her "write what you know", so that is what she did. At the not so tender age of forty-three, she started to write her first novel, I Am ShelbyJames (Beauty in the Darkness) and it is what she knows--emotions. 

 

In her spare time--when she's not writing--you can find Brooke cuddled on the couch with her husband of 20+ years, their fur babies, and a good (often naughty) eBook--unless of course she's having cocktails with her Bestie at one of their favorite haunts.

Pre-Release Blitz: Stripped by Allie Juliette Mousseau

 

Title: Stripped

Author: Allie Juliette Mousseau

Genre: Romantic Comedy Standalone

Release Date: March 29, 2016 

 

 

Stone Wright is Foreplay’s hottest act. While entertaining at the popular L.A. strip club known for catering to the feminine wild, the fever-inducing Aussie with the sex-saturated accent and moves to match is preparing for the audition of a lifetime on the sensational hit reality show Then Prove You Can Dance.
 

When retired principal dancer and ballerina Emilie Cartier stumbles into his dressing room, she’s still reeling from the one wrong spin that altered her entire life and obliterated her dreams.
 

After a humiliating public, albeit meteoric, orgasm—the kind so desperate to escape, it took over her body without her brain's permission—and a second, more intimate and deliriously deliberate one, Emilie makes a deal with Stone: he helps her get her dancing mojo back and she readies him for his national audition.
 

But she insists he keeps his wily, wandering hands to himself and his dirty mouth shut. Of course, that’s going to be an extremely hard challenge—one of herculean proportions.
 

Emilie is not prepared for Stone—the way he spins her mind dizzy, rocks her body into sweet oblivion or dirty dances into her every daydream—and falling in love with him is so definitely not an option.
 

The closer Stone gets to Emilie, the more he realizes he’d do anything to make her his own. Problem is, he’s a real f*ck-up with relationships. And that means he’s dangerously close to becoming her next major f*ck-up.
 

What happens when all of the emotional layers—along with the stage props, their dancewear and every last shred of their clothes—are ultimately stripped?
