Slip Between the Sheets with…

Jon,

from Cicada

by Afton Locke

Available Nov 19th, 08 from Ellora's Cave!!

Hang on to your panties, Marian, because the seaside cottage you rented is not going to be as quiet as you thought. And if you planned to get away from men, forget it. You're about to be haunted by a very virile male ghost who thinks everything in the house is his, including you!

Like the cicadas, Jon emerges from his grave every seventeen years to pursue whichever woman is living in his cottage, but having sex for the third time always sends him back to dormancy again. When Marian, a science teacher on summer vacation, moves in he vows to break the curse once and for all.

All he has to do is win her heart. Easier said than done when the object of his desire has just been cheated on by her ex-fiancé and the last thing she wants is another man. Somehow he has to show her who's boss and earn her love at the same time.

Hey readers! Snow, before Thanksgiving? Brrrrrrrrr, is it cold out! The kind of day that makes me want to crawl back into bed and stay snuggled deep in the blankets. The kind of day meant for making body heat (which, incidentally, is very great way to lower heating costs. Very green. J).

Well, let’s just hope today’s Slip Between the Sheets warms us up…and judging by the blurb and cover above, I’ve a feeling it will. I’m a huge fan of ghosts. And an alpha ghost? Drool-ing!

So Jon, welcome! It’s a delight to be talking with you today. With all this talk of crawling back into bed, I’m curious. What do you sleep in? And give us a visual. ;)

Jon: Well, that depends. Do you mean when I’ve been alive, dead, or undead? You see, I died in 1902. When I was alive and sleeping alone, I wore a Union Suit. Sexy, huh? What can I say? Massachusetts winters are cold. When I had my lady with me, I slept in nothing but her embrace.

Let’s see…when I’m stuck sleeping in my grave for 17 years at a time, I suppose I should wear the suit I was laid to rest in but it’s too cramped. I just sleep in my trousers. And when I’m undead, I roam around in my trousers with no underwear and no shirt. The trousers come off a lot! No, I don’t sleep. I’m too busy making love.

Alyssa: Nothing wrong with that! Undead and underwear-free definitely sounds like my fav!

But gee, seventeen years in a grave? Must give you a lot of time to think. To fester. And I’m curious--the devil aside, who's your worst enemy?

Jon: Max the sorcerer IS the devil as far as I’m concerned. When I was dying he offered me immortality, but what a price! He’s in complete control of my curse and never lets me forget it either. Worst of all, he’s very nosy about my sex life and threatens to ravish my woman.

Alyssa: Oh, that must piss you off! I can’t imagine how you deal with such an unforgivable jerk, but I know how *I* would. I’d open up a can of whoopass!

So Jon, do you have a temper? Or are you the cool, calm type?

Jon: When I’m angry you’ll know it. Heck, everyone for miles around will know it. My emotions are honest and intense. What really makes me mad is when my beloved does something unsafe. I can’t bear the thought of anything happening to her, so I get a little…shall we say…overprotective?

When she persists in disobeying me, sometimes a little light punishment is in order so she won’t forget. But it’s all for her own good, you understand.

Okay, so maybe I have some anger issues, but I would never hurt anyone, most of all her. And hotheaded men have a plus side -- we’re the most passionate, explosive lovers around.

Alyssa: I can agree to that! Tell me, Jon, what's your favorite sex position?

Jon: Anything involving rope.

My favorite is tying my woman to the antique bed. Each limb gets bound to a bedpost. That way, I get to gaze at her beautiful body and tantalize her so slowly and thoroughly it drives her half out of her mind. And she can’t do a thing about it. She can’t scoot away when she’s close to coming, and she can’t move closer to intensify the sensations of whatever I’m doing to her. I control when she comes. (I love being in control.)

Okay. Okay. I know what you’re thinking. I make sure to listen carefully to what her words, sighs, and body tell me to make sure she’s enjoying it just as much as I am. After all, I’m a lover not a brute.

Alyssa: Um, actually…that’s not what I’m thinking. What I’m thinking is that this is my first interview ever where I’m actually getting physically turned on! I want your book! I want you! Now! I’m drooling from the mouth here and I better change the subject before I get too carried away and have to stop for a dildo break.

Let’s talk about fear. What are you scared of, Jon?

Jon: The ocean. Specifically, drowning it. So why, might you ask, am I hanging out on the Massachusetts seashore? Why not move inland and haunt a mountain or something? This is my home, where I lived and died. Most important of all, my lady is here. (Not to mention the fact my grave is here and it’s hard enough being dormant for 17 years without adding a long commute to my curse.)

As long as I can win her love, I’ll never be afraid of anything again. I probably won’t have any reason to get angry anymore either, but I’m still going to stay well stocked with rope. She wouldn’t have it any other way…

Alyssa: And who could blame her? Well, as much fun as I’m having, I’m afraid we’re going to have to wrap this interview up. Seems I suddenly have the overwhelming urge to go rope shopping and do something to scare the pants off my hubby. Literally!

Thanks for talking with us Jon! Good luck on getting Marian to fall in love with you. But a man as sexy as you? Don’t think luck is necessary…you’ve got skills! J

Readers, if you’re as intrigued by Jon as I am, be sure to check out Cicada this Wednesday from Ellora’s Cave. That’s tomorrow! Want to read an awesome excerpt or learn more about Afton Locke? Check out her website at www.aftonlocke.com or her blog at http://aftonlocke.blogspot.com.

Next week we’ll be chatting with EC author Kaenar Langford. Until then,
