Blogging Fun and Contest News
Hello!
As a personal goal, I'm making an effort to blog more regularly and get word out regarding not only new releases, reviews and such, but also about writing, craft, interviews, etc.
As part of that fun, I'm also experimenting with blog designs and backgrounds. As someone who is techno-challenged, please forgive the changing landscape as I make some changes and play.
For now, this post will be short, as I'm hosting a contest until the end of the month, August 31! Anyone who visits my blog and tells me a ghost story (in honor of Morgan Everhart, heroine of Cuff Master) will have their name added to a drawing for a digital copy of a book from my backlist. There are a number of places to find out which books are on the list, but for convenience, here's a quick look:
Contemporary:
Playing Doctor, a spicy M/M erotic romance featuring sports agent Alexander Grant and Dr. Ryan Hathaway.
Ink Master, a BDSM M/F erotic romance starring Phalen Maddox (who was introduced in Quarterback Blitz and appeared again in Field of Play) and submissive but confident heroine Cassie Williams, the owner of a bookstore-diner in Salem, MA.
Field of Play, a M/F contemporary erotic romance involving wide receiver Dallas McKay, who's searching for his biological parents and hires PI Grace Daniels to help. Grace never expects the biggest case of her professional life to turn into a HEA with the tall, dark, athletic and handsom, Dallas.
Quarterback Blitz, an Older Woman/Younger Man contemporary erotic romance involving team mascot Anna James and red hot QB Kyran Black!
Historical Paranormal: The Panthera
Seductive Persuasion, Garrick Forrester, Earl of Danford, meets his match in feisty healer, Aisley, whom he knows is his Fated mate and must claim before it's too late.
Rhiannon's Pride, Reniassance artist Dante is young and only recently come into manhood, but that doesn't stop him from recognizing his mate, Rhiannon. However, when he discovers she's seriously ill, he must first heal her before he can claim the woman he loves.
Sea Captain's Ghost, can Captain Adriano Montoya win the heart of his mate, Jocelyn, and destroy the man whom he blames for the deaths of his mother and first wife? Or will he allow love to conquer his hatred once and for all?
Arrington's Claim, arrogant, dominant and seemingly unreachable, Nicholas, Duke of Arrington, is everything Miss. Regan Saunders should avoid, much less fall in love with. As his title makes him far beyond her station as a lady's companion, she also secretly harbors the wish to become a doctor, something forbidden for a lady to desire. But Nicholas will have his heroine no matter what.

Thank you for reading and visiting. Come back soon, and don't be afraid to tell me a ghost story or two!

Cuff Master is Available Now!
.jpg)
Hello everyone,
I'm so very excited. Can you tell? Why, you might ask? Because Cuff Master is now available from Ellora's Cave Taboo.
Here's a quick link to Cuff Master on Ellora's Cave's New Release page: http://www.jasminejade.com/p-10258-cuff-master.aspx
I also have a blurb and an excerpt to share to whet your appetite! Be advised that Cuff Master is a Taboo with paranormal/supernatural elements and features a couple engaging in a D/s lifestyle. While there's bondage, light discipline, there is never abuse or physical harm to another person in this story or any story that I write featuring BDSM.
It is my hope that you'll give Detective Ethan Maddox and his shy psychic, Morgan Everhart, a chance and love them as much as I do.
Detective Ethan Maddox
and psychic Morgan Everhart are on the cusp of a relationship, if she can
forgive him for doubting her abilities when they first met. A Master with a
fetish for handcuffs, he recognizes Morgan is a submissive who needs a patient
man to guide her safely into the D/s lifestyle. He is determined to claim
her.
An excerpt: http://www.jasminejade.com/p-10258-cuff-master.aspx
If you'd like to read the excerpt, please follow the link. For reasons my techno-klutz personality can't figure out just yet, the blurb kept posting awkwardly. It's a PG-13 excerpt, just an FYI, and I hope you'll like it. In coming days, Cuff Master will be availabe via Amazon, B&N, ARe and various other vendors. I'll post links as they come to me.
In honor of Cuff Master's release, I'm holding a contest which will last until August 31! Leave a comment on this blog that features your favorite ghost story. Everyone has the chance to win a digital copy of a book on my backlist, which you can find if you check out my author page on Ellora's Cave's website. Thanks for playing and don't forget to leave an email address so that I can contact you if your name is drawn for the contest.
Thank you everyone. Celebrating for the rest of the day!

Release Date and Cover Reveal: Cuff Master
.jpg)
Hello everyone!
As you can see, I've posted the long-awaited cover for Cuff Master, coming August 22, from Ellora's Cave Taboo.
To find out more about Ethan Maddox and Morgan Everhart, here's a blurb and link to the book and excerpt on EC's Coming Soon page. Very soon, I'll post excerpts and announce a contest to celebrate Cuff Master's release. Enjoy!
http://www.jasminejade.com/p-10258-cuff-master.aspx
Detective Ethan Maddox
and psychic Morgan Everhart are on the cusp of a relationship, if she can
forgive him for doubting her abilities when they first met. A Master with a
fetish for handcuffs, Ethan recognizes Morgan is a submissive who needs a
patient man to guide her safely into the D/s lifestyle. He is determined to
claim her.
Reader Advisory:
Morgan’s sexual awakening includes watching a scorching-hot brief scene of
male/male lust, with Ethan by her side.

Cuff Master, Coming Soon from EC Taboo
Hello everyone,
A thousand apologies for being so quiet. Admittedly, there's a really good reason. I've been writing, submitting and working on paperwork for a new sale! If you are familiar with the Maddox family, namely, brothers Phalen, Ethan and Taran, all of which are big, bad Dominants with a strong sense of family, Celtic pride, honor, valor, and sex appeal.
If you'd like to find out about the brothers, I highly recommend reading Ink Master, Phalen and Cassie's story. But to catch a glimpse or get to know Phalen before Ink Master, he first appears in Quarterback Blitz, shows up again in Field of Play and has a supportive role in Playing Doctor. But make no mistake, Ink Master introduces readers to the world of BDSM as Phalen slowly, patiently introduces his submissive-in-denial, Cassie, into a very dark, sensual world that not once, ever, becomes abusive.
And, like his older brother, the middle Maddox, Boston Detective Ethan Maddox, born and raised in Southie, is a Dominant with an affinity for bondage and handcuffs. Ethan and his heroine, psychic Morgan Everhart, are coming soon from Ellora's Cave Taboo in Cuff Master.
I'll have cover art, excerpts, blurbs and release date information soon. Stay tuned everyone.
And, if you participated in the Summer Kickoff blog hop last month, please check to see if you were the winner of the contest. I've tried several times to get a hold of the winner but to no avail. I'm waiting another week and if I don't hear back, I will re-draw a name and you could be the winner.
In honor of Cuff Master, a launch day contest will be held. More exciting things to come later in the summer and in the fall.
Until next time,
Frances Stockton

As this is the Summer Kickoff Blog Hop, I thought what better topic to post about than summer reading! This year, especially with the dawn of interest in all things BDSM related with thanks to E. L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey series, it seems that adult women are becoming invested and interested in what's been called Mommy Porn. Now this term can be seen in a negative light, or it can be seen in a positive one. What's wrong with women enjoying a well-written, sensually charged, sexy book and not being ashamed to admit it?
While I'm a huge fan of the Kindle, and any ebook reader for that matter, the primary reason for my enjoying my Fire is entertainment and a place to take many books with me during summer travels. Car trips, a big family vacation, day trips to the zoo, visiting family and friends, all provide opportunities to read. After all, Stephen King himself has said, " “If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
I've had many great jobs in my life, from working in hospital pharmacy delivering necessary medications for patients, taking care of animals as a Vet Tech, and teaching Social Studies to sixth and seventh graders in Baltimore, MD, but nothing has been as rewarding as writing. Now that I'm published with Ellora's Cave, with eight books and more coming soon, it's been a dream come true.
With thanks to reviewers like Sensual Reads, my hotter romances, Quarterback Blitz, Field of Play, and Ink Master have gotten excellent reviews and my latest m/m for Ellora's Cave Spectrum has also gotten great nods from reviewers and readers alike. But I've always believed reading is the key to good writing.
So now that we've got that taken care of, let's talk summer reading! What books are on your summer reading list and why? What authors are your go-to 'must have' books for your Kindle, Nook, or beach bag?
I've honestly not decided if I'll read Fifty Shades of Grey and the subsequent books, not because I have anything against the author, I actually congratulate E.L. James on her success and wish her well, but there are many authors of BDSM Erotic Romance and Erotica for women that I also admire and intend to read over the summer. Books by Joey W. Hill, the original Story of O, research books for my hotter BDSM works, and books on magic and illusion are on tap for me this summer. Every book is for fun and every book is a learning experience. Also, if you like D/s works of Erotica or Erotic romance, there's an excellent article in the latest Romantic Times Booklovers Reviews magazine featuring authors of the BDSM subgenre and recommended reads.
There are also books by some of my favorite authors, Karen Rose, J.R.Ward's next Fallen Angel book, any and all Romantic Suspense that I can find, and sensual Historical Romances are on my reading list. Hopefully, I'll have time to read them all.
Of course it would be lovely if you'd add one of my books to your summer reading list. If interested in learning more about them, check out my author page at Ellora's Cave: http://www.jasminejade.com/m-527-frances-stockton.aspx
All books are available from Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, All Romance Ebooks, Sony and several third party vendors.
Seductive Persuasion, Rhiannon's Pride (books 1&2 of my Historical/Paranormal Panthera series for Ellora's Cave Blush, formerly Cerridwen Press) are available in trade paperback and ebook formats.
Likewise, Quarterback Blitz, Ellora's Cave Sophisticate, is also available in print and ebook.
Other titles in the Panthera series include Sea Captain's Ghost and Arrington's Claim, are in ebook/digital formats at all venues mentioned above.
Field of Play, Ink Master and Playing Doctor, all EC Romantica titles, are available in ebook/digital.
But as much as it would be nice, I hope you'll go back up to the top of this page and check out all the books by all the authors participating in the blog hop. It's time to kick off summer in a huge way.
On that note, here's your opportunity to win either your choice of an Amazon.com giftcard sent to you via email or an Ellora's Cave giftcard sent to you via email or two digital copies of any book mentioned in the list above. This contest prize is open to all participants with access to Amazon, Ellora's Cave, or if you're blog hopping from around the globe, perhaps the two digital copies of my books will do the trick?
Okay, right here on my blog, comment and let me know what books are on your summer reading list! The list does not have to include one of my books, be honest, have fun, share what intrigues you most. Sometimes the greatest summer reads are the unexpected ones.
It's that easy to be entered into the random drawing. The contest winner's name will posted at the close of the contest. Contest dates: 6-5-2012 until 6-10-2012 (ll:59pm EST). Be sure to leave your email address so I can contact you!
