About Me

CHECK OUT MY SITE

"The long, toffee–hued, brunette beauty leaned back on her elbows with her lids half–closed as he carefully sprinkled another line of cocaine on her inner thigh and then dragged his nose the length of it to her crotch, licking up any tiny particles he'd missed. He powdered her bud as she opened her legs wider for him, and then numbed his tongue and lips suckling it off.
Her deep moan brought the blonde away from his shaft, the loss of warm, wet mouth–contact made him thrust against air while he watched her dust the brunette's dark nipples with the expensive white powder. Visual ecstasy claimed him as her small pink tongue laved at the sugared teats, causing the woman beneath him to writhe and buck as his tongue plunged into her swollen pussy.
Blonde hair mingled with brunette hair as the blonde slid her body above her prone friend's. An agonized expression captured her face as she offered her tight pink nipples to her girlfriend, her finger working against her slippery slit.
"Just suck them," she murmured to the woman beneath her. "This shit has me so horny, I can't stand it." - L.A. Banks in Creepin'
Creepin'A smokin' hot paranormal erotic romance anthology I edited, including steamy, scary stories by
L.A. Banks, Donna Hill, Monica Jackson, J.M. Jeffries, Janice Sims

Welcome to a world of werewolves, vampires, demons and mere mortals, where, in the name of revenge, five women are about to live out their wildest fantasies—even if it means crossing over to that other side…

RAWSISTAZ! Longtime reviewer aNN: CREEPIN takes readers to a realm beyond the limits of their sensory imagination, where anything can happen -and does. Fueled by lust and deception the characters take journeys to the dark side of sexual decadence and other-world fantasies. To the five contributing authors, I raise my oven mitt, it was hot.Chantay from APOOO: Creepin' is an exceptionally fantastic anthology by a wonderful assortment of talented authors! Each of the five stories focuses on five women who were deceived and ultimately betrayed by someone they once loved with all their hearts. But what does one do when one has been betrayed by another; well revenge of course! It is best served cold and swiftly and with the strictest of vengeance!Tara Marie, a dedicated reader, is first! "I absolutely LOVED Creepin'. Each story is unique and different. Each hits different levels of romance, erotica and horror. It's the horror mark that really works for me. Each story deals with revenge and justice, but in a paranormal environment."The venerable Mrs Giggles: I can't say I'm bored while reading this anthology.The best thing about this Creepin’ is that it’s not afraid to get down and dirty, doesn’t hesitate to break some rules, or hell, throw them out the window. CREEPIN' is an anthology of paranormal stories with one thing linking them all—all of the women in these stories have been betrayed and they all find different ways of getting even. If you're in the mood for a quick paranormal read and extremely hot sex, you don't want to miss this one! - Reviewed by Chere Gruver4 1/2 stars, RT Bookclub "Take a look at the five authors in this anthology, edited by Jackson, and you’ll know you’ve got a terrific book ahead of you. Factor in the strong female characters who take revenge to the highest level, and you’ve got a keeper (that includes some same-sex love scenes)."Quotes about Creepin', feel free to reproduceThe stories all glistened with dewy chocolate syrup drops of luscious literary skill and scrumptious Hershey's kisses of storytelling genius.. . . made me cum at least, I dunno, 25 times. I lost count.You are Maxwell Perkins reincarnated, right?Hey, what are you wearing? Quotes on my paranormal books and stories ..In the works, a paranormal romance and a mystery, tentatively titled, Dead Man's Hand.

Yep, I'm talking poker. Vegas, money, fun, sex, high stakes, high rollers . . . and of course, murder. Featuring what I think is my best heroine, ever. Get ready, folks!

"The majority of the stories share themes of beauty, power and the desire for love or approval—themes that Monica Jackson’s "The Ultimate Diet" riffs on wonderfully as the obese Keeshia, rather than beginning another diet, figures out how to turn into a vampire so she can be slender and irresistible, just like her beautiful serial-killing neighbor."--Publishers Weekly

Veteran writer Monica Jackson, loved by her many fans for her quirky sense of humor, outdoes herself in "The Ultimate Diet" a tale of one sister's quest for the perfect body that has hilarious results. Diet diva Keeshia Meadows willingly trades her chunky thighs and big hips for sharp fangs and a small waist but soon finds that she's bitten off more than she can chew. --The Black Collegian

TOO HOT TO HANDLE

NEVER TOO LATE FOR LOVE is part of several connected books and features a 47-year-old heroine, Tiffany, from Heart's Desire. She is one of my best characterizations ever, I think.

THE LOOK OF LOVE . Award winning and envelope-breaking. The heroine weighs over 200 pounds and she's quite unhappy about it, but comes to terms with it at the end. It's a very realistic book. There's something a little off about a 250-pounder thrilled with her weight in this society. It's also has humor to relieve and balance the inner angst. Great secondary characters and a strong take-no-guff heroine carry this book.

A MAGICAL MOMENT has a strong murder mystery thread, with a psychic heroine and paranormal overtones. The heroine is one of my best, I think., psychic, eccentric outspoken Taylor, Kara's friend from Heart's Desire.

LOVE'S CELEBRATION is a little different. It's a frothy on-the-run story and a Kwanzaa holiday story. I took pains to explain Kwanzaa, because I realize that a lot of people know little about it. I didn't want to lecture through the book, so I put an informational section in the front and recipes in the back. It has a holiday fantasy flavor, thus a somewhat improbable plot. A secondary relationship brings comic relief.

An extra large portion of the HEART'S DESIRE , with the nipple stroking made infamous by a horrified romance site owner. You'll also be gratified to know that I didn't leave out the oral sex scene that the same person duly noted with squeals of disgust. (It was her first romance read with black folk in it and she was shocked, I tell you, absolutely shocked, that we could act so badly. My goodness, she could hardly tell us from white folk. It's definitely not my best book, but it's one of the closest to my heart. It's a little tongue-in-cheek, a subtle soap opera parody, but most folk with some insight and a sense of humor get it and enjoy the ride as they go along. Check it out.

MIDNIGHT BLUE is my first book. I have my most traditional romance heroine here, beautiful, perfecty. The narrative is fast paced. People tell me it's a page turner.
