Back From #RomCon14 and #Bigfoot Was a Hit! #taboo #erotica

When I decided to take a few copies of The Bigfoot Chronicles 1 and 2 with me to RomCon, I didn't know what sort of reaction I would get from them. I was pleasantly surprised and then overwhelmed by the reaction. 

The readers LOVED IT! Whoohoo!

Now you all know, I'm one of four pen names for Tammy Dennings Maggy (my real name is actually Tammy Smith!). The four of "us" write in a variety of genres and various heat levels. My Bigfoot books are definitely not a traditional romance and are more erotica. Yes, there is a romantic element and I think I put a different twist with these tales compared to the others in the monster erotica genre. That's what makes this genre intriguing to me. There are so many different takes on the monster/human couplings so we have something for everyone.

The response to Ashar and Bryanna's story proves it. Of course there were some who had me sign their books to other people. *wink wink* These folks tickled me to no end. To think they'd stop by and give a new author a chance as well as try out a taboo genre—well, let's just say I'm still smiling from ear to ear.

This experience has inspired me to push the envelope even more with the third book in the trilogy. It's going to be longer than the first two, maybe even longer than those combined as there is so much these characters keep showing me. Because of the fabulous response at RomCon, my publisher is pushing up the release of the eBook version of the combo book so look for that to go live within the next few days. You all know how Amazon can be. They could have a delay, or things could go up in a flash! LOL

Thank you again RomCon! We'll be back again next year with even more monster tales and other dark erotic fantasies to share with everyone. Until then, I'll leave you with the cover for Bigfoot's Revenge (The Bigfoot Chronicles 3). ~Tawny

#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.

#SPeakSunday: @Tawny_Savage Shares a Bit More from BRIGID'S BLESSING #bigfoot #taboo #erotica

Click HERE for the list of participating authors

This week I remembered to sign up before the list closed! LOL
Ahem...
Welcome back to Erotic Tales by Tawny Savage. This week I've joined a great group of authors to share six paragraphs from one of our works in progress or previously published works. This week, I'm sharing another part of Brigid's Blessing (The Bigfoot Chronicles 1). I thought it would be a great idea to continue to tease you with snippets from this and the second book until the last one comes out later this summer.

The last six paragraphs I shared with everyone here was from a scene toward the beginning of the book. This time, I thought it would be fun to share the six OPENING paragraphs to set the mood for the entire story. To refresh your memory a bit, here's the blurb...

WARNING: This is a work of fiction detailing very EXPLICIT SEX between humans and the creature known as Bigfoot. ADULTS ONLY! 

Bryanna Stevens was slowly dying inside. The safe and consensual sexual relationship with her husband Travis had slowly deteriorated into one filled with torment and abuse. With nowhere to turn, she pleaded her case to the Goddess Brigid. She offered herself up to the gods to do as they see fit if they’d grant her one wish—to conceive a child of her own. 


Hell bent on avenging mutilation and death of his pregnant mate, Ashar risks everything to make the humans pay. Instead, he’s blindsided by his desire for the naked beauty stretched out over an altar, pleading for the gods to give her a child. Before he can stop himself, he’s kneeling beside her. Could she be the one to save the Forest People and mend his broken heart or the one to destroy them all? 

April 15th, Present Day, McCloud, California

“Bryanna! Get your ass out here, honey. You’re gonna miss the toast.” Travis Stevens loved to throw parties for his buddies and their wives. It didn’t matter the occasion, just as long as he could put out a big spread and ply them all with booze. He spared no expense. Nothing was too good for his friends and tonight he outdid himself—thanks to her.

I’d be out there a bit faster if you’d get off your ass and help. “I’ll be right there.” She grabbed the rest of the champagne glasses from the cupboard and placed them on the serving tray. Bryanna took a deep, cleansing breath, held it for a few seconds, and then slowly exhaled. Not only did she spend the entire night running around serving their guests, Travis expected her to be a mind reader as well. If he would’ve told her he wanted to serve champagne, she would’ve had the glasses ready to go. Now here she was rushing around the kitchen again while he barked at her to hurry up.

Travis smiled broadly as she entered the room, but his eyes betrayed his annoyance with her. To keep up the appearance of the happy host, he rushed forward to take the tray from her. “There you are. Let me help you with those.” He clenched his teeth together and hissed so only she could hear him. “Took you long enough. Are you trying to make me look bad in front of our friends?

She kept her voice low and continued to smile to hide the fact she wanted to punch him in the face. “They’re your friends. Not mine. If you’d given me any sort of direction for this shindig, I could’ve had everything exactly as you wanted it.”

“We’ve been having these same parties every Tax Day for the last eight years. You should know what I want by now.”

“What the fuck ever. Just pop the cork on the bubbly and let’s get this farce over with. I have better things to do with my time then to wait on your friends hand and foot.”

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

#SPeekSunday: @Tawny_Savage Brings You A Glimpse of BRIGID'S BLESSING #bigfoot #erotica

List of participants can be found HERE

I'm excited to announce I've joined another fun blog hop. This one is made up of a group of authors who share six paragraphs from one of their current works in progress or something they've already published. This week, I decided to share a bit from my first published short novella, Brigid's Blessing (The Bigfoot Chronicles). For those of you who are first time visitors to my blog, let me warn you. This novella and the entire trilogy this is a part of is categorized as dark erotica, more specifically monster erotica. The creature we all know as Bigfoot or Sasquatch has very explicit sex with the heroine. Some folks may find it offensive. That's okay. If you're one of those people, you may not want to read further. If you'd like to see what all the "hoopla" is over this genre, then read on!

Here's the blurb:

Bryanna Stevens was slowly dying inside. The safe and consensual sexual relationship with her husband Travis had slowly deteriorated into one filled with torment and abuse. With nowhere to turn, she pleaded her case to the Goddess Brigid. She offered herself up to the gods to do as they see fit if they’d grant her one wish—to conceive a child of her own.


Hell bent on avenging the mutilation and death of his pregnant mate, Ashar risks everything to make the humans pay. Instead, he’s blindsided by his desire for the naked beauty stretched out over an altar, pleading for the gods to give her a child.  Before he can stop himself, he’s kneeling beside her. Could she be the one to save the Forest People and mend his broken heart or the one to destroy them all?

This is the beginning of the scene right after the heroine Bryanna has a confrontation with some of her husband's friends. These people were in her home attending a party her husband held every year. Bryanna loathes most of them as they've always treated her as an outcast and beneath them. One woman in particular couldn't keep her mouth shut resulting in Bryanna kicking ALL of them out and then retreating to her bedroom.


Fucking cunt! Who the hell does she think she is passing judgment on me? She kicked off her shoes, slipped the large sweatshirt over her head and flopped down at her dressing table. She stared back at her reflection in the mirror and giggled. There she was in all her glory—half of her hair out of her braid, lipstick completely rubbed off, mascara smudged under her eyes, and her cheeks flushed a deep rose color. Her tits, barely contained in her bra, bounced as her laughter turned to tears.

She was so tired of being judged around town for trying to be true to herself. “I am who I am.” Travis used to love that about her. It was her free spirit that attracted him to her in the first place. She was the one who introduced him to the BDSM lifestyle. Unfortunately, over the last few years they’ve strayed from the safe and consensual to the angry sex. She wasn’t sure when he changed from the caring Dom to the nightmare control freak he was now, but she couldn’t take it anymore.  The more he drank, the less he could perform unless it meant tormenting and demoralizing her. That wasn’t what she signed up for when she agreed to be his submissive. 

It was time she faced the facts. Her ten year marriage was a joke. Sure the sex was over the top and exactly what she wanted—when he was able to deliver. Most days he was either too tired or too drunk to get it up. It took her to push him enough to make him pissed off before his dick would rise to the occasion and that was getting to be scarce as well. 

It’s why she was surprised at how hard his cock was just before the toast. Maybe showing off in front of his friends gave him the hard on because it sure as hell wasn’t her. She slipped out of her bra and examined the scratches and tiny welts over her tits. Her right nipple appeared bruised where he bit into it. She had feared he did more damage, but luckily no part of it was missing.

She unraveled the rest of her hair from the loose braid and brushed some of the tangles out of it. She loved the way her hair appeared with soft waves after braiding. The gold and red highlights in her chestnut brown hair were a new addition and one her husband wasn’t fond of at all. He wanted her to go a deep auburn color but she refused. That set off another nasty confrontation between them. Instead of hot angry sex, he’d stormed out and stayed away. Apparently he preferred the company of the drunks and tramps at the local bar instead of staying home with her. He didn’t start talking to her again until three days ago. Whatever. I’m done.


She stood and unzipped her skirt, letting it fall to the floor in a silky puddle at her feet. She gazed at her reflection in the full length mirror on the bedroom door and admired her curves. It took a lot of work to keep her looking fit and it was wasted on a man who didn’t appreciate it or her at all. 

There you have it. Next week I'll share six from the second book in this trilogy. Until then, make sure you visit the other authors participating this week. You can click HERE to be taken to the list.

Have fun!

#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

#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:

Brigid

Bigfoot

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.”
