Sneak Peek at My Future Projects

 

So what’s next for Kay Ellis? Writing, writing and more writing. I have a full time job which is rubbish. Literally. I’m an administrator for a company that collects and disposes of hazardous waste. It really shouldn’t be as stressful as it is! However that leaves me with a couple of hours each evening and the weekends for getting a few words  down.

I’ve lost a friend before, somebody who didn’t understand my need to write every spare moment. But that’s the way it is. I get edgy if I have to go out weekends and can’t find time to write. It brings to mind of an expression I heard a few years back which is: A writer is something I am – not something I do.

I’m sure every writer had there own methods and there are some who write one book at a time, but I can’t do that. (I wish I could because I might get things finished sooner then!) It can be most inconvenient to be half way through something and suddenly have a new character or story in my head that demands centre stage. I always say I write whoever is shouting loudest at the time and I stand by that. My boys are very real to me and they can rather noisy at times!

Currently I have about half a dozen part-written tales with different couples. I like all of them (obviously – I couldn’t write them if I didn’t!) but I must admit to having a couple of favourites.

The Fire King is the the third in my Evolin featuring Sully and Tylan. They are my usual older/younger, big/small pairings I like to both read and write. It’s mild fantasy; horses, swords, castles, magic  – and not a cell phone in sight!

Then there is Blade, a post-apocalypse tale of a mercenary unit sent to find and kill the son of a very powerful man. Blade, named for his love of knives and the samurai sword he carries, has doubts about the mission and when he meets Connor he finds there are things he would rather do to him than kill him.

I also have Dreamweaver, another fantasy, with Thorn and Tanner as star-crossed lovers. Macho is a more contemporary piece with Stefan and Alex, a when-two-worlds-collide type of story in which Stefan is out and proud and Alex is anything but! Seventh Son is underway, (more fantasy) with Drennan and Vaen and that is one where I’m still mulling over the direction I want to take them in.

Hopefully, all of them will see publication in the next couple of years. Unless I get sidetracked by new ideas… did I mention naughty boys Saxon and Casey?

 

“We would like a room, please.”
The receptionist took one look at them and turned her nose up. Instantly, Devon was irritated by the woman’s superior attitude. She saw an older man with an attractive, much younger man and made assumptions.
“I’m afraid we’re fully booked, Sir,” the receptionist said haughtily. “You’ll have to try elsewhere.”
“Ingrid, is it?” Devon leaned over the desk to peer at her name badge. “Well, you listen to me, Ingrid. Alexander Industries sends a lot of business your way and I know for a fact you have nowhere near full occupancy at this time of year. Unless you want to explain to your boss exactly why you’re turning away one of your best customers, I suggest you find me a
room. If you don’t, I will be explaining to my good friend, Mr. Xavier, why I’ll be sending my business to your rivals in the future.”
Ingrid paled visibly beneath her heavy foundation. Even if she had not recognized Devon, she had to be aware Alexander Industries was one of the hotel’s biggest and most influential customers. She was also aware that offending a high-profile paying guest, who happened to be a close friend of her notoriously strict employer, was not a wise career move.
“Of course,” she gave a frosty smile. “Does Sir have any luggage?”
“No,” Devon smiled sweetly. “Sir simply requires a room in which to fuck his teenage lover’s brains out.”
“Room 615,” Ingrid sniffed. “Although Sir might like to know this is not the kind of establishment that rents rooms by the hour.”
“Don’t sweat it,” Jesse snorted, reaching over Devon’s shoulder to pluck the key card from the receptionist’s cool fingers. “We intend to fuck all night.”
They crossed the foyer and walked into the lift without a backward glance. Jesse jabbed angrily at the brightly lit number panel.
“Bitch!” he said vehemently as the doors shut.
“Jesse….”
“I mean, who the fuck does she think she is?”
“Jesse….”
“She had no right talking to you like that.”
“Jess!” Devon shot out his hand and grabbed Jesse firmly by the balls, his fingernails digging through the material of Jesse’s suit trousers. Jesse yelped and went very still. “Do I have your attention?”
“Yes,” he said in a small voice, not daring to move for fear Devon would do him permanent damage.
“Good. Now, listen to me.” Devon loosened his grip, but did not release him completely. He stroked the length of Jesse’s stiffening cock, making him moan with pleasure.
“Agreed, she’s a bitch, but we are not about to let her ruin this for us. Okay?”
“Okay,” Jesse murmured huskily. His fingers curled around Devon’s wrist, pressing the palm of his hand against his now-rigid shaft. “Have you ever fucked in a lift?”

Kay Ellis lives in rural Oxfordshire in the UK, where she’s mum to two beautiful daughters. From an early age, she has written stories, with a sole readership of one , her mum, Sylvia. In 2013, someone suggested Kay enter a competition on national television to find a new “racey reads” author. Much to Kay’s surprise, she made it to the final three, and although she didn’t win, the high praise received for her work gave her the confidence to start submitting to publishers.

When not writing, Kay enjoys reading, eating out and the theatre.
