#Monsterotica Is Here to Stay Whether You Like It or Not


Hello peeps. Tawny here and you're about to get hit with a post that's been a long time coming. I've kept quiet and watched people blast my genre for long enough. Amazon tried to wage war on it but decided to not bite the hand that feeds it. Authors who slammed it before are now dabbling in it themselves. Readers, bloggers, reviewers, pinners on Pinterest continue to write "WTF?" posts about it.

Newsflash! Just because you don't understand the draw doesn't mean there aren't tons of others out there who do. Not all fetishes and kinks are the same. You're reaction to my Bigfoot erotica is the same I had with FSOG...What. The. FUCK.

Before you jump all over me with comments that FSOG is a love story, erotic, sexy and whatever the hell else you want to toss out, listen up. Everything you say about that trilogy, I can say the same for monster erotica. Just because one of the lovers in the story isn't human, doesn't make it any less of a fantasy. 


Coming soon!
My Bigfoot hero, Ashar is far more human than the hero in FSOG. ASHAR doesn't have a twisted view of the world of BDSM and has never forced his lifestyle on his love interest. And don't get me started on the twit who will play the lead in the FSOG movie. If he doesn't have the brains to not slam the people in the lifestyle he is supposed to be portraying, he shouldn't be allowed to be interviewed about it.

Ahem...sorry. I didn't mean to get off track. For the record, I read all three books in the FSOG series. As a whole, I was entertained. Have I read others that I enjoyed more? Yes. Do I think this series represents erotica and erotic romance? HELL NO. That doesn't mean these stories didn't rock for other readers...especially those who haven't a clue about erotica and BDSM in particular. What these books did do was help bring readers around to search for more...and more explicit stories.

That's what brought many in our direction.

Monster erotica, dark fantasy and horror erotica are now and will continue to flourish. There is a market for it and many find us every day. It's true that this genre isn't for everyone and we don't claim it is. It's our niche and we like it that way. 

I don't tell you what you can and can't write or read. Why do you get to tell me? I'm not a fan of the big boobed anime erotica but that doesn't mean I don't get turned on from time to time by some of it. Before you slam things you know nothing about, maybe you should pick up a few books in the monster erotic section and decide for yourself. If you don't find anything that appeals to you, move along and grab the books you know will cream your jeans.

If you do find your curiosity piqued, and new fantasies invade your dreams of big hairy dudes or dragons screwing your brains out, then enjoy yourself with more. Don't let anyone tell you it's gross or evil. 

ENJOY the fantasy. Who knows? Maybe it will help spice up your current love life and take you to places you never thought possible.

It could happen...that's what makes it FANTASY!

Catch you on the flip side—

@Tawny_Savage is BAAAACK and Ready to Rock and Roll! #Bigfoot #Taboo #Erotica



Hello, it's me...Tawny. 
Yeah, I know it's been a hell of a long time since my last post. I'm sorry for that. It's been flippin' nuts around here for several months. Hubby and I relocated to Washington and it took a lot out of us to get here. I'm finally sitting at my temporary desk and working on my blogs and writing the final scenes for Bigfoot's Revenge. I've even plotted out the rest of  Silk Seductions. It feels great to be back to working with my characters again, especially the Big Guy...



I told you the Forest People were real. You didn't think The Bigfoot Chronicles trilogy and the sister series The Forest People was fiction did you? It's all true, or at least based on the stories passed down throw the generations of the tribes in the Pacific Northwest and other areas of the world.

I've lived in this area of the United States for fourteen years now and have heard many a tale. I've had a few "run ins" myself. The eerie screams and growls are something I'll never, ever forget. 

For those of you who have read my books so far, you know they're about an ancient species of humanoids...very close ancestors to humans. They have their own language, tribal and clan culture and value family above all. They worship the same gods as we do and respect Mother Earth for everything it gives them to survive. Unfortunately, humans haven't quiet mastered those concepts yet, some have, but a hell of a lot of them will never come around to respecting this planet.

Now, I'm not what some call a "tree hugger." I like the modern conveniences just as much as anyone, but I do wish to do what I can in order to keep our planet around for future generations. Just the simple act of recycling helps as well as carpooling and taking mass transit instead of driving our vehicles every single day.

It's the little things that can add up!

Just like with my writing. I may have only been able to knock out a paragraph or two over the previous couple months, but at least I kept going. I'm not giving up and I hope you haven't given up on me or Bigfoot. He'll have his revenge...but is the cost too great for those he loves? Stay tuned. We're shooting for this story to be out before Thanksgiving.

See you around!

#OhMy! It's Time for the Special Edition #Bigfoot Chronicles 1 & 2 #CoverReveal



Welcome back to my little corner of the blogosphere. I'm happy to announce the print version of my Bigfoot Chronicles 1 & 2 is now awaiting final approval before we can order copies to take with us to RomCon in less than three weeks. Denver won't know what hit them when the readers get their hands on my taboo tales. 

Why will my book be at a romance convention? Well, my publisher will be there and so will I. For those of you who haven't figured it out yet, I'm one of FOUR pen names for the same person. It's fun to keep up the tongue in cheek pretense that we're separate people, but we're all ME. It's simply easier to keep the various categories and heat levels my work falls into separate if I use different pen names. It helps readers know right off what sort of storyteller they're tackling just by the name on the front.

Enough of that. Here's what all of you came here to see. The print galley mock up of the new cover.



I love how they have Bryanna in shadow on the back. It gives the illusion that Ashar is hovering over her, out of view of the camera. We had to keep his features hidden again in this cover because we have major reveals for the last in the trilogy. Of course I already spilled the one big one here on the blog. Click HERE to find out.

Shocked? LOL! Many others are too and can't wait for the conclusion in Bigfoot's Revenge (The Bigfoot Chronicles 3). Look for that release in late July/August. I'm shooting for that but this story keeps taking on more twists. This part me end up being longer than the first two combined! 



See you all around and come talk to "us"in Denver. The hubby will be there too.

It's Cover Reveal Time for #BIGFOOT'S REVENGE by @Tawny_Savage #monster #erotica #taboo

I'm so excited! Today Sassy Vixen Publishing gave me the go ahead to reveal my cover. Just moments ago it went live on their blog and now it's my turn. The last installment in my Bigfoot Chronicles trilogy will be released sometime this summer. We're shooting for June, but life can get in the way at times so we've not locked it down just yet. When we have the final date, you will be the first to know.

Another great surprise they sprung on me today...

Sassy Vixen Publishing will release The Bigfoot Chronicles together in one eBook and in print format. Whoohoo! The entire story will be under one "roof" so to speak. So stay tuned folks! I'll let you know when the collection is released. Until then—


Those eyes come right out and grab you don't they? On the first cover those eyes belonged to Ashar. This one they belong to TRAVIS! Just as I revealed to you a few posts back, Travis and Ashar are brothers. The secrets don't stop there...

Ashar's world is turned upside down from revelations that could change his relationship with Bryanna forever. Will Etsey's secrets tear apart the couple and jeopardize the future of the Forest People?

Bryanna's caught between two worlds: one she never knew existed and one she was brought up in. All she knew about her grandmother turns out to be a lie...and Etsey holds the key.


Will Travis let go of Bryanna without a fight or will he do everything in his power to destroy her and her Bigfoot lover?

Stay tuned!

Until next time,
~Tawny

#OhMy! Monday: @Tawny_Savage Discusses A Few Twists Coming Up in #BIGFOOT'S REVENGE #erotica


Welcome to my digs. What do you think? It's still in the early stages and I'm doing a little remodeling here and there. Most of it involves borrowing the banners from my fellow Sassy Vixen authors. They've already created some cool ones. Why not use them too? They're happy to share so this week it's Oh My! Monday.

What do I have to make you go Oh My! about? What would you say if I told you I wanted to share a few of the surprises in store for you in the third and final novella in the Bigfoot Chronicles trilogy? What was that? I can't hear you...

Yeah thought so. You're in too much shock to answer. You think I'd be stupid to tell you what's going to happen in Bigfoot's Revenge (The Bigfoot Chronicles 3). You may be right. I may be crazy...


Whether I'm nutso or not isn't the point. I am going to share a few of the secrets. 

Before I go any further, I will be giving spoilers here. If you haven't read my Bigfoot Chronicles yet...what's stopping you? If you plan on reading them at any point and hate when people give away the plot points, then stop reading right now!

Decided to stay? Good. You're either one of my fans...thank you! or you're one of those people who don't mind learning the surprises of the story ahead of time and then can't wait to read the story to get the full effect. Just. Like. Me.  READ ON!!


You may have already figured a bit out on your own if you read Brigid's Blessing and  Bigfoot Claims His Mate. You know that Bryanna's soon to be ex-husband is a twisted fuck, but have you figured out why? The scene where he's watching Bry and Ashar go at it in the garden was a twist even I didn't see coming. I mean, hello! We all thought he was safely locked away in jail awaiting transfer to rehab. 


HA! We leave him in the garden shed licking the sharp blade of his jagged hunting knife. You know the kind I'm talking about. Crocodile Dundee knife, baby. The kind that will filet a croc in thirty seconds flat.


Imagine what that kind of knife could do to a woman who has wronged you and made you look like a fool in front of your friends and family. Top it off, she prefers to spread her legs for your hairy ass brother...

That's right. I said BROTHER.

Ashar and Travis are brothers. They share the same father who is actually on his death bed. Ashar is to take over as Chief of the clan when his father goes on to the next world. What neither of them know is Travis actually has claim to that leadership role. He's older than Ashar by a year. 

Shocked? Wondering how it could be? Who kept the secret all this time? Think about it folks. Who has been working with the humans nearly all of her life to ensure the survival of her kind?

Etsey. The Shaman for the tribe knows all. She raised all of her son's children when his mate passed away during the birth of the youngest sibling. She refused the help of the rest of the tribe because she had to keep the identity of one of the children a secret. With the help of the humans, she was able to hide him away with a couple who never knew his ties to the Forest People. All they knew was they wanted a child.


If they only knew he was the blood of their sworn enemy! As you all found out in Bigfoot Claims His Mate, the Stevens family have a long standing violent feud with the Forest People going back centuries. Leaving Travis in their care, ensured his survival but taught him to hate his own kind. It's also why he can't fight his attraction for the females of Ashar's clan and why he took such pleasure in the rape and murder of Ashar's first mate, Taema. To cover up how sexually aroused he was around her, he coerced his friends to fuck her too.


I told you he was a sick bastard. Don't think that's all to the story as Bryanna and Ashar learn the truth in a most shocking and tragic manner. 


You really didn't think I'd tell you THAT part now did you? hehehe I have to save some surprises for you, my lovelies. Stay tuned. It's going to shock the shit out of you!

Need to catch up on the series before the new one comes out? Find them on AMAZON, BARNES AND NOBLE, ARe/OMNILIT, SMASHWORDS, KOBO, and iTUNES

Until next time,

#Bigfoot Earned Another Silver Star! #Rubenesque #erotica

Welcome back to my little corner of the web. I've been a bit swamped with the evil day job and getting ready for the Super Bowl party here at the house. I got talked into cooking the old faves. It should be a fun one. ;)



I've received some fabulous feedback about both books in the Bigfoot Chronicles. Thank you all for picking up your own copies. Because of you, both books are in the top forty in the Rubenesque Erotica category. Nothing like a curvy girl hooking up with Sasquatch to get your motor running, eh? LOL!






Bigfoot Claims His Mate is sitting pretty at #27 and Brigid's Blessing is holding her own at #37. For my debut novellas, I think that's...wait for it...FABULOUS!!!


I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. I'm a Real Housewives junky and Kenya Moore simply takes the cake for being over the top and full of herself. I want you all to slap me silly if I ever act like her in any circumstance other than sarcasm. 

To celebrate the good sales so far, both books are still priced at one buck. That's right, for a limited time you can own both of my current novellas for a total of $2...a buck each. This deal is only on All Romance ebooks. Here are the links:

My last post I shared a hot sex scene between my heroine Bryanna and her nearly seven foot tall hairy lover Ashar. This one is for the PG audience but gives you a bit more of Ashar's story. He's not the mindless "apeman" some would have you believe.



Story Excerpt (PG rated)


May 2nd, Present Day Siskiyou Mountains
Hidden Village of the Forest People

Etsey’s angry eyes bore into him. “Do you have any idea how much danger you’ve brought to our tribe? You most of all know the violence the humans can rain down upon us. Taema’s been buried a year and you continue on this vendetta. Enough! If you’re to be Chief, your actions must set an example for the rest.” The shaman touched him on his face and her features softened. “Ashar…you are the future of our people. You must find a proper mate before your father moves on to the next world.”

He leaned into her touch. Etsey had helped raise him after his mother died during childbirth. The loss had devastated his father, Baali. Not only did he lose his mate, he had three young children to raise. Fortunately Etsey was there. As Shaman it was her responsibility to help, but as their grandmother it was her joy and honor to raise them. At least that’s what she always told them when asked why she didn’t allow the others to help out more.

“I couldn’t stay away from her. Her pleas to the Goddess wrenched my heart in two. I know her pain. Taema and I longed for children. Did you know she was with child when Travis and his friends killed her?” Tears spilled down his cheeks and into his beard. “I lost a part of me that day I thought would never return—then I saw her.”

“So you did as you forbid the others to do. You intended to hurt the humans just as they hurt you. I know about the other woman. Did you think you could just get them all with child and see who survived?” 

He averted his eyes. “It was my plan in the beginning, yes. But things changed last night. Something inside of me changed and I don’t want to go back to the way I was.” He couldn’t believe he’d actually fucked the first human and she lived through it. He really didn’t care one way or another if the child she carried was his or not. It was the satisfaction he derived from her husband begging him to spare his life and take his wife in exchange that gave him the thrill. Fucking coward. When it came right down to it, most humans seemed weak compared to any of the Forest People. 

Last night however, Ashar had met his match. This soft and inviting woman embraced him, kissed him back and screamed for him to keep taking her. She’d wrapped her arms and legs around him and gave herself completely over to his lust. Her scent drove him wild with desire and he longed to bury his tongue into her and drink her juices again and again. Not even Taema had ever made him feel this way. 

“You know what the Prophesy foretold. You are to bring our people into a new age. I had thought it would be with the one you lost, but could this human actually be your true mate? After all these years, could it be true?” 

He realized she wasn’t asking him the questions. They were directed more to herself and the gods, but he nodded nonetheless. “She asked for a child and we need children to survive to rebuild our clan again. We’ve lost too many, Shaman. This has to be what the gods had intended to happen. Why else would I be so compelled to be with her? Why do I feel this way about her if it’s not meant to be?” Could it be possible? Is this beauty the one that will help me save my kind or is it only my lust for her clouding my judgment?

“You’ll have to put aside your hate for the woman’s mate and friends if this is to work. It will eat you alive and may cost you everything you hold dear—including any future you may have with this priestess.”

Ashar’s eyes narrowed. “I didn’t tell you she was a priestess.”

The elderly Shaman smiled. “You’re not the only one who has watched over this one. I’ll speak no more of this today. Only you can decide if you’ll continue down this path. I’ll only offer you one more bit of advice. Don’t get so caught up in her that you miss the dangers around you. I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of the one called Travis.”

#CoverReveal for My Next Book in The #Bigfoot Chronicles #erotica #dark #monster

Welcome back to my little blog. Today I get to reveal the cover for the second book in my Bigfoot Chronicles. This one picks up right were the first left off...after Bryanna and her bigfoot lover had their first encounter. 

Banged up (pun intended!) and bruised, Bryanna vows to have her lover again and again and again. No man had ever brought her as much pleasure as the hairy beast that took her in her garden. She is determined to make sure she's the only one HE wants as well. 

Trust me. He doesn't want anyone else after he got a taste of the priestess Bryanna. He's consumed with thoughts of her: her scent, her taste, the feel of her wrapped around his body begging for him to fuck her. What he feels for the human is more than lust. He wants her for his mate...forever.

Within the next week I'll have the blurb for you and an excerpt to share. Until then, here's the new cover. Let me know what you think. We did have fun with a mock up using a Wookie look alike. LOL! Now my mind is going in THAT direction! LOL

Ho Ho Ho Bring on the #MistletoeHop! #bloghop #excerpts



Welcome to my stop on the Mistletoe Hop. This is the first one I've participated in so please bear with me. At the end of the post you'll find the linky list of all the fabulous authors participating. Make sure you check them all out and enter yourself in the contests to win the prizes at each stop. I'm giving away FIVE copies of Brigid's Blessing (The Bigfoot Chronicles) in any ebook format the winners choose. One lucky winner will also get a $10 Amazon Gift Card. 

This time of year is one of my favorites. It's the holiday season and for me and my character Bryanna, it's the time of the Winter Solstice or Yule. All the basic traditional symbols of the tree, Yule log, and mistletoe have their roots in the ancient religions...before Christianity. What I love about modern times is we all get to share these traditions and make them our own. 

For me, Yule is a time centered around the  special magic of colors, snow and tradition. It's a time of rebirth and renewal—a time of new beginnings. This is the time when many folks make resolutions for the upcoming new year and get ready for brighter things to come.

This is what Bryanna wishes for in Brigid's Blessing. She wants nothing more than to have a child of her own. If it means she has to offer herself up to Bigfoot to do it, she will.  



Boy does she ever! She wasn't prepared for the raw, animalistic need that hit her the moment Ashar made his presence known to her. The fear that she should've felt wasn't there. Instead she wanted nothing more than to give herself over completely to his lust—over and over again. Here's an EXCERPT.

What do you think? Want to read more? Well if you enter the Rafflecopter below, you'll get entries ton win one of FIVE copies and one of you will get the Amazon gift card as well.

For those of you who don't want to wait to see if you won an copy, you can purchase your own for 50% of the list price at All Romance ebooks by clicking HERE. You can also got a copy from Smashwords by using the coupon code in the banner below.



Good luck and have fun stopping in on all the other blogs!

Brightest Blessings!
