Hi everyone--
I'm actually waving at you from Albuquerque where i'm attending GayRomLit and i have turned my blog over to pal, Allie Ritch, one of my and your favorite guests. Allie has a new release in her popular Alien Sex series -- Alien Sex 103 AND she will give one lucky commenter their choice of Alien Sex 101, 102 or the new 103! So be sure and leave your email in your comments! You guys have fun together and i'll be peeking in to be sure you're not getting into too much trouble! Here's Allie--
Thank you again, Tara, for having me to your
site. I’m excited to announce that the next installment of my Alien Sex Ed
series, Alien Sex 103, is out now from Liquid Silver Books. Like its
predecessors, this erotic sci-fi romance contains two romance stories:
Corporate
spy by day and party boy by night, Varion thinks he has it all when he hooks up
with fellow Sex Ed student, Benni. As a Flexian, Benni is a natural
contortionist, able to get into sexual positions he has always fantasized
about. She loves the way his race can shift their features and skin tone to
look like other people. It’s all passion and good times until Varion starts to
wonder if Benni only wants him because he can look like different men. And when
Benni discovers Varion’s corporate espionage may destroy her job, she questions
his motives in pursuing her. Is their relationship real or just a game that’s
turned all too serious?
Used to
being the shy young virgin, Pixie is shocked when Zeo, the fierce Nimanian
student in her Sex Ed class, takes an interest in her. Step by step, Zeo
awakens her sexuality and teaches her the joys of being a woman. He wants to
mate with her in the tradition of his people, but Nimanian sex can be rough.
Can Zeo be gentle enough for the woman he loves? Does Pixie have enough
strength to match him?
I thought it might be fun to sneak a peek at
some of the answers these characters gave during their initial screening for
Xindra and Quinn’s Sex Ed class. Here are a couple of the questions they were
asked:
What
do you like best about living in Trilanta? Anything you don’t like about the
city?
Varion: “This city is
fantastic. There’s so much to do here at all hours of the day and night. It’s
never boring. If there’s a negative, I’d have to say it’s that the people here,
unlike my mother planet, tend to have a certain perception of you based on the
way you look. We Multans are constantly shifting our eye and skin and hair
color, so we don’t think anything of it. Here, people sometimes have
preconceptions about who you are or what you’re like just from your outward
appearance. I haven’t run into much of that, but…yeah, occasionally.”
Benni: “This place is full
of clubs and arcades and restaurants and shops. I’ve got lots of energy, so
this city is great for me. This is also home of the Trilanta Amusement Park and
Fairgrounds, where I work. I’m getting to do my dream job trick riding my
equinoid, Mumble-Peg, to entertain the tourists. Not many females, let alone a
petite Flexian woman like me, can handle a six-legged equinoid. I wouldn’t want
to live anywhere else.”
Zeo: “My family runs a
private security and investigation business. Trilanta offers plenty of work for
us. My people have a good community here, but we sometimes miss the natural
wilderness of Nimania.”
Pixie: “The city offers me
more opportunities as an artist. I only recently graduated and moved out on my
own. It can be scary in the city, especially after dark, but I’m glad to get
some distance from my parents. I’m still trying to figure out who I am—on my own,
as an adult. My dad retired from code enforcement, and he and my mom can be
really overprotective.”
What
do you look for in a romantic relationship?
Varion: “I like women who
are comfortable with themselves and their bodies. I’m not looking for anything
too serious, just someone to share a good time with.”
Benni: “Nobody clingy. This
is going to sound shallow, but I get bored with most men pretty quickly. I like
sex, and I like to have fun, though I don’t enjoy either without respect and some
kind of connection with whatever guy I’m with. Dating is one thing. I guess I
haven’t met anyone who makes me want a ‘relationship.’”
Zeo: “I will recognize my
mate when I meet her. Until then, I enjoy sexual play with females, but no
mounting.”
Pixie: “Oh dear. I’ve…well,
I’ve never actually been in a romantic relationship before. I’m not very good
with men. I know I’m shy and kind of a scaredy-cat, so guys never seem to
notice me. I’d like to meet someone nice, though. Someone who’s kind and
listens and makes me feel good when I’m around him.”
***
Trilanta is definitely full of diversity, and
there’s a variety of personalities in the student body. It will be interesting
to see how these characters bridge the gaps between them. Attraction can draw
people together in unexpected ways. Check out this scene from Alien Sex 103:
Excerpt
Still grinding to the pumping beat of the
music, Benni gazed across the club’s crowded dance floor and licked her lips.
Her eyes cruised up and down the sexy hunk of male flesh that had just arrived.
The flashing lights and holo-projections made his ivory skin look almost
translucent, like fine porcelain. As an orange-haired Flexian, Benni was pretty
pale herself, but where her skin was peppered with multicolored freckles, his
was spotless. His hair was jet black and spiked with gel, and his dark eyebrows
balanced his high laser-cut cheekbones and wide nose. Beneath those brows, his
almond-shaped eyes—a rich emerald green—searched the gyrating mass of dancers
until they locked on to her.
Although she’d never seen him wear this face
before, she knew him instantly. After all, they were lovers. They were also
students in an adult Sex Ed course that covered anatomy, cultural practices,
and relationships between the different alien races. There were a lot of races
to learn about here in Trilanta—a city located on the travel-hub planet of the
same name. As a Multan, Varion belonged to one of the more interesting ones. He
could change his skin tone and other superficial features at will, but there
was no hiding his six-foot-plus, hefty frame. He was a big man in every way,
though not soft. Every inch of him was bulked with muscle, even if he sometimes
chose to conceal the telltale ripples of definition.
Tonight, he looked like a street fighter,
fully ripped and advertising it with a sleeveless shirt and black jeans. His
gaze never left hers as he stalked closer. Gone was any trace of laugh lines or
a playful smile. This man had only one thing on his mind.
“Hey there, gorgeous,” he said in a rich
baritone.
The sound of his voice vibrated through her
more than the bass beat of the song.
She pretended not to recognize him. “Hey
yourself, stranger. You want to dance with me?”
“I could watch you move your body all night,”
he told her, “but I had something more strenuous in mind.”
Benni lowered her lashes coyly. “I don’t
know. ‘Strenuous’ sounds like work. I’m here to have fun.”
“What if I promise you a good time?”
“How good?” she challenged him.
“Enough to make your toes curl.”
Her skin turned feverish, and she felt a warm
gush between her legs. Still, it never paid to play it too easy.
“That good, huh?” She danced close enough to
rub herself against one of his brawny thighs. “Maybe you’re just bragging.”
His lips twitched. “I can prove it.”
“Promises, promises.”
Clutching her hips, he pulled her right up
against his body. Benni could feel the hard ridge of his erection behind his
fly, as well as the flex of his muscles as he walked backward. She stayed with
him step for step. It wasn’t quite a dance—his body remained too tightly coiled
for that—but their movements were so perfectly synchronized it made little
difference. When they reached the edge of the dance floor, he took her hand and
led her down the short, dark hallway in back.
There was a line outside the women’s
bathroom, but that didn’t stop them. With a quick tug, he pulled her into the
men’s room and headed for the nearest stall. The only other guy in there was
occupied with his back to them and didn’t even notice their entry.
An instant later, they were out of sight
anyway. Varion’s green gaze zeroed in on her the moment he locked the stall
door behind them. The narrow space was filled to capacity with his beefy frame,
but that only made Benni more aware of him—his heat, his musky scent, the way
he looked at her like he’d eat her alive. Neither of them wanted any distance
right now.
He didn’t waste time. Varion crowded her back
against the side of the stall. In a single motion, he pulled her stretch top
down to pop her bare breasts free and dove for her nipple. His lips latched on
and suckled while his teeth grazed and nibbled in an aggressive attack that had
her writhing. Although she knew she was small-busted, Benni felt like she
swelled two cup-sizes bigger under his mouth.
Cool air hit the tops of her thighs, and she
gasped when she felt his hot hands fisted in her skirt. Within seconds, he had
the material bunched over her hips, her skimpy underwear all that separated her
butt from the wall behind her. He sawed his blunt finger back and forth over
the moist, cloth-covered slit between her legs while he kept his other hand
busy opening his fly.
As soon as he popped the seal, his dusky
erection leaped out of his pants, as tall and bulky as the rest of him. The tip
was already coated in precum.
“Time to curl those toes,” he warned her.
He hiked up her right leg and shackled her
ankle. With a brutal jerk, he swung it upward until she was doing a standing
split still facing him. She wound up with her right foot next to her head and
her left on the bathroom floor. Any other woman would have screamed in agony,
but Benni just hissed in anticipation. Flexians were a race capable of
contorting into a variety of positions without pain, and Varion knew it. In
fact, the darkening of his eyes told her just how much her flexibility turned
him on.

Okay, everybody. Tara doesn't want us getting into too much trouble. Define "too much," LOL. While she's cavorting in Albuquerque, let's have some fun here. Questions? Comments? Deep intellectual thoughts? Anyone planning to dress up as an alien for Halloween?
ReplyDeleteI love Science Fiction Romance.. Great excerpt! I'm very intrigued by this series, and I look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteThanks
tl.etheridge31@gmail.com
I would love to read your books. Your a new author to me. I love romance and sci-fi. Please enter me in contest. Thanks for the giveaway. Tore923@aol.com
ReplyDeleteYay! Thank you, Tawania and Tore. I love meeting fellow SFR fans. Sci-fi romance is still a bit of a niche genre and doesn't always get the attention it deserves. I have an imagination that always seems to be on hyperdrive, and my favorite genres, sci-fi and paranormal romance, give me the creative freedom to just go nuts and have fun.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great excerpt. You're a new author for me. Can't believe I didn't know about this series. I'm definitely adding this series to my wishlist. Do you have a set number of books for the series or is open ended?
ReplyDeletemythic021@gmail.com
Thanks, Vanessa. I originally set out to write a single book, Alien Sex 101, but the work grew and grew until I realized I had a series on my hands. I broke that one massive work into four pieces, making sure to give a complete romance to each couple (so no cliffhangers).
DeleteThe series will end with Alien Sex 104, although I have a couple of ideas for stand-alone works set within the same world. I just finished the final polish on 104 and have to submit it, so I anticipate the last book coming out sometime at the beginning of next year. I don't want to give too much away, but readers can look forward to both m/f and m/m romance in Alien Sex 104, as well as appearances by all the characters introduced throughout the series. It should really tie the whole series together.
I can see I will have to add Allie Ritch to my wishlist :D Look forward to reading Alien 101, 102 & 103.

You just made my day! Thank you, Ilona. I hope you'll enjoy my Alien Sex Ed series.
DeleteGreat excerpt. This is such a great idea for books. I'm looking forward to taking Alien Sex 101, 102, and 103. :P

I'm glad you liked the excerpt, SheriV. I sometimes struggle with what scene to pick, but I love the flirtatious banter between Varion and Benni in this part. It captures their chemistry. I'm thrilled I've piqued your interest in the series and hope you'll enjoy the books. Thanks!
DeleteYour a new author to me. Your books sound like ones I would love because I love reading books with characters from other planets.
ReplyDeletesstrode at scrtc dot com
Well, I'm glad you found me, Sherry. It's nice to meet you. I'm an author of erotic sci-fi and paranormal romance, and I write both novels (like my Alien Sex Ed series) and shorter works. I always love to find new readers, so I hope you enjoy my writing. If you'd like to learn more about me or my works, you'll find my bio, book trailers, and much more on my website/blog at http://allieritch.wordpress.com.
DeleteWow, Allie, I like the excerpt and the interview questions. Makes me want to go through the whole series. So glad there's no cliffhangers in the series...Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteQwillia
qwilliarain@gmail.com
Thanks, Qwillia. Yeah, I never cared for cliffhangers. There are two romance stories per book, and each one has an HEA. The overall Sex Ed course, though, doesn't reach its conclusion until the final book. Every student gets a chance to be spotlighted in their own romance along the way. I had considered turning this into eight novellas instead of four novels, but the stories varied in length, and I wanted to offer more to the readers.
DeleteHi Allie, great excerpt. I like the fact that each book contains two unique stories and two couples to root for. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletenona at nonaraines dot com
Hi, Nona. Thank you. By doing more couples, I had more relationships to play with, so hopefully there's something for everybody.
DeleteLoved the first two books in this series! They're very inventive ;-) Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletesmaccall AT comcast.net
I'm so glad. Thanks, Bookwyrm369.
DeleteAlien Sex sure sounds intriguing. I need to read one of these to try it out.
ReplyDeletedebby236 at gmail dot com
I'd love it if you gave one of my books a try, Debby. Although there's enough back story that you can pick up any of the books in the Alien Sex Ed series, you'll get more out of it if you start with Alien Sex 101, so I suggest the first book. The characters are all introduced in 101, and then each subsequent book expands on them and gives them their own story.
DeleteAllie, I *love* how different your characters' voices are! It really came through with Pixie's "Oh dear"! I love it! Yay!
ReplyDeleteWow. Thank you, Emily. You just put a big smile on my face. :-)
DeleteThat was a nice excerpt.
ReplyDeletebn100candg(at)hotmail(dot)com
Thanks. Varion and Benni are pretty adventurous, and they insisted on heating things up.
DeleteHello Allie,
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice to meet you, it's always Great to find another Erotic Sci-Fi Romance Author, especailly one that Tara recommends to her Fans.
Your Alien Sex Ed Series sounds like Excellent Reads, I'm excited to get my hands in them.
I really enjoyed the Teaser at the sneak peek of some of the answers your characters gave during their Initial Screening for Xindra and Quinn’s Sex Ed Class. I just Love Character Interviews, they're unique & gives a lot of insight into the book.
I would very much appreciate the opportunity to be considered in your very generous giveaway of a chance to win a free book—winner’s choice of Alien Sex 101, 102, or 103.

Hi, PaParanormalFan Renee. Tara is terrific and so nice to recommend my books and invite me to her blog.
DeleteI'm happy you enjoyed the post and excerpt. You're entered in the giveaway, so good luck. I'll be drawing the winner shortly.
Such a catchy title! And who doesn't like Alien sex? I'm really interested in this series now, thanks for sharing the excerpt. Do you know who the cover models are? Especially the guy right behind the blond?
ReplyDeleteluvfuzzzeeefaces at yahoo dot com
Thank you, Julianne. The model selection and cover art was courtesy of artist April Martinez. I don't know the names of the models she chose, but if you're really interested, you can find April's contact info online. She has done a huge number of covers, so I'm sure you've run into her work before. I have to say, she was dead-on with those models. So sexy.
DeleteOkay, everybody. I've contacted the winner by e-mail and am just waiting for her to get back to me and choose her prize before I officially announce it.
ReplyDeleteNow, let's make sure we all have our story straight about what's gone on while Tara has been in Albuquerque. Pay attention.
(1) Did we raid her liquor cabinet? Our answer: No, Tara. We don't know anything about that. It must have been teenagers.
(2) Did cops show up to investigate? No, he's not a real cop. That's part of his act. Look at those handcuffs.
(3) Did we hire male strippers? Yes, of course, Tara, but we saved a couple for you.
Everybody got it? Good.
LOL. Thanks, Tara, for having me here. I think this was the best turnout of visitors yet, and what a great group. I had so much fun.
