Yesterday's blog was intended to generate some controversy and discussion, which it achieved rather well I might say. Some dismissed it as an angry rant, but what I had hoped to do was to stimulate thought amongst the Indie community about treating each other with more respect; not as competitors, but as colleagues. I think I achieved that, so in the spirit of celebrating ALL indie authors, I'd like to begin a series on highlighting some of the superb indie authors I'm involved with. Before Christmas, I did a series of blogs about the members of a support team I'm involved with through Books Go Social. These guys are all wonderful indie authors, who like me are struggling to be seen and heard in the massive clamour that is the Amazon marketplace. By supporting each other we can make our voices heard.
If you are an author or a reader, I can highly recommend Books Go Social as your go-to place for everything literary. Just click on the photo above and check it out - they are awesome.

Over the next few blogs, I'd like to introduce you to a wonderful group of authors in another support group I'm involved with on Google+, called the Alliance of Self-Published Authors (ASPA). This is a small group of talented authors who banded together to support each other and make this whole writing journey a lot less lonely and scary. Headed up by the very talented Eeva Lancaster, owner of The Book Khaleesi, which offers a plethora of services, at reasonable prices, to indie authors, such as: proofreading, editing, marketing banners, social media covers, book covers, trailers... you name it - if the indie author needs it Eeva can do it and at an affordable price.
If you are at all interested in joining ASPA, then by all means click the logo above and do so. I can highly recommend this fantastic group of authors for their support and encouragement.
It is one of the ASPA authors who I wish to highlight today. Her name is PANDORA SPOCKS and she writes erotica.
Now, I know erotica is not everyone's "cup of tea", but what I have discovered is that the very good erotic authors (and Pandora is one of them) can combine a wonderful storyline with some hot, steamy, sex - the best of both worlds really. So, if you haven't ever dipped your toes into erotica, I would suggest you give it a try with the uber-talented Pandora Spocks.

PANDORA'S PORTFOLIO
Rannigan's Redemption - 3 Book Series
Just One Night
Luke & Bella
Lost & Bound (Due for Release on January 31st but available for pre-order)
Now, I'll be doing a couple of blogs later on in the month telling you all about Pandora's new novel, Lost & Bound, so for today, I'll just concentrate on the Rannigan's Redemption Series, Just One Night and Luke & Bella.
RANNIGAN'S REDEMPTION:
Rannigan’s Redemption is the story of the complicated relationship between sexy high-profile Manhattan attorney Michael Rannigan and sassy red-haired fellow lawyer Maggie Flynn.
Michael and Maggie meet at a job fair, where he hires her practically on the spot. She’s smart and good her job. But there’s more to it than he’s willing to admit. He’s attracted to her. Which doesn’t make sense. She’s nothing like the women he dates. She’s way too smart, for one thing.
And Maggie’s in love with him, too. Realizing the situation is all but hopeless, she contents herself with working with him.
One night of passion tears them apart. And from that point they’re both just running rogue, each making questionable decisions in their professional and personal lives.
A moment of desperation brings them back together. After Michael has burned all his bridges, Maggie’s the only one willing to stand by him.
And he’s grateful. He knows he needs to make it up to her, to somehow find redemption for himself.
Although Rannigan’s Redemption was intended to be one book, this story was too long and covers nearly ten years of Michael’s and Maggie’s lives, so it was originally released as three separate novels.
This boxed set includes all three Rannigan’s Redemption novels: Resisting Risk, Running Rogue, and Ransoming Redemption.

JUST ONE NIGHT:
Katie Parker is a woman on a mission. On a Caribbean cruise for her annual girlfriends’ getaway, she’s determined to forget about the man who betrayed her. All she wants is to find a man for just one night of anonymous, no-strings-attached passion.
Mac Coleman needs to get away. For now, that means accompanying his brothers on a cruise to Mexico for his younger brother’s wedding. After that, he’ll be changing jobs and cities, all to get away from his stalker ex-girlfriend.
When the pair meet on board the ship, the chemistry is instant. Can Mac convince Katie that what they have deserves more than just one night?

LUKE & BELLA:
Strong-willed ginger Bella Grant is a take-charge television journalist with an appetite for adventure. Handsome and sexy Luke McGillicutty is a world-weary photographer coaxed out of premature retirement with the promise of traveling the world with a smart, spunky redhead. They've been paired up to create a new brand of television travel program.
Traveling to romantic destinations, staying in first-class hotels, finding adventure at every turn, it's not surprising that the two fall in love. Luke is stunned to realize that Bella is the woman he's looked for his whole life. She's beautiful, smart, funny, and courageous.
The only thing is, Luke hasn't been completely up front with her. He hasn't told her that he's into BDSM. He could play it safe, keep the relationship going exactly the way it is. But Luke wants more. As a Dominant, he craves the intimacy that a Dom/sub relationship provides. And he knows without a doubt that Bella is the perfect submissive. How will she react if he approaches her about submitting to him as a Dominant? Maybe she'd be intrigued by the idea. On the other hand, he could lose her forever.
Life on the road working with Bella is great. Nights spent in Bella's arms are amazing. Should Luke just be satisfied with the way things are? Or should he risk everything on the chance that they could have it all?
