Hi Tamsin, welcome to my blog. I had you several times on my old journal. This is the first time you visited my new blog. I'm so excited! Now, I have several questions for you.
1. You said in your bio that your passion is M/M. Did you start writing in M/M or what was your very first story about?
The very first erotic book I ever wrote was a Historical (regency) female Domme story that after going through 5 rejections is finally being published this November by Escape Publishing. It's M/F.
Wow, congrats for the November release, Tamsin!
2. What made you fall in love with M/M?
I've always been very pro gay rights and my favourite show in high school was the American version of queer as folk, so when I found a submission call for 25-40k m/m stories I jumped at the challenge. It felt natural to me and its the ONLY genre I read for pleasure now.
*sighs* That's exactly how I feel about MM.
3. In a menage story, do you see it as everyone loves everyone else or just one of them loves two people?
I believe it is everyone loves everyone and that's how I always write it. I'm not sure I'd like to write or read a ménage where it wasn't equal... At least by the end of the story.
That's good to know!
4. Are your stories all adult, or is there any YA? You said you like experimenting. Will you write YA someday?
All are adult and I haven't really considered YA because I like writing graphic sex too much. I have one sweet story written in my other pen name and it was hell to write!
5. How long does it take for your story to be ready to be submitted from the first day you write it?
It totally depends on the story I am writing and the length. But as a general rule most of my 20-25k stories and written,polished and submitted in 4-6 weeks. I get impatient and want to get them in. I don't like to sit on stories too long :-)
That's awesome! Thank you so much for chatting with me, Tamsin.
Knowing Destiny by Tamsin Baker
MMF contemporary shifter book.
Blurb:
Chase, a golden eagle shifter, is destined to be the leader
of his flock, the shifters of the air. But he has a few problems. He’s not
ready for the responsibility, he isn’t sure who he wants as his mate and
there’s the little issue of an unsolved killing to sort out.
Ben is also a golden eagle shifter, Chase’s best friend and
three time lover. He wants to be his best friend’s mate, but can he be honest
about his feelings?
Ariana is a young peregrine falcon shifter who has loved
Chase for years. But why would he want her when he can have anyone he wants?
Three shifters, three separate problems, all fighting to
find out who they are and how they can love each other.
Excerpt:
Ben showered and
dressed quickly. What was he going to say?
“You’re going to be
honest, just once, and then forget about it.”
Ben closed up his house
and made his way to Chase’s place. He couldn’t live like this anymore, on
tenterhooks every day, wondering what Chase was thinking, how he was feeling.
Wanting to tell Chase he loved him, but not knowing how.
He had never felt so
impotent in his life. But it was time to end that. He would finally admit all
to Chase and live with the consequences. Today was the last day he was going to
feel like this.
He jogged up the stairs
and knocked on the door. “Hey, Chase, you home?”
His best friend opened
the door, jeans on, but nothing on his gorgeous chest or feet.
“Hey, yeah. Come on
in.”
Ben’s cock swelled
within his jeans. His instant attraction to this man frustrated him, and he
burst into Chase’s house.
“How did last night
go?”
Chase pushed the door
closed and frowned as he walked forward. “It went really well. What’s up, Ben?”
Ben clenched his fists
tighter then opened them by force. Calm, he needed to stay focused.
“So, Ariana is it for
you? You’ll mate with her?”
He began to pace,
nervous energy working through his system and turning into anger. How could he
have missed his chance to be with Chase?
Chase walked closer
warily, approaching him how one would move towards an injured and angry bird.
Chase had almost reached him now, and his brow knitted together. “Well, we’ve
only had one night together, and she’s still at Uni, but yeah. I think so.”
Pain broke through
Ben’s chest, making it feel like his ribs were being split open.
He stopped and gasped,
putting a hand to his heart.
“Ben, seriously, what’s
wrong?”
Ben growled and began
pacing again. He couldn’t stay still, and if Chase touched him, he would surely
scream.
“I don’t know how to
tell you this. I’ve been wanting to talk to you for months, and it looks like
I’ve run out of time.”
Inevitability settled
into Ben’s mind, and he knew this was it.
Chase’s face was wary,
his tone of voice gentle when he spoke. “What had you been wanting to tell me,
Ben?”
Ben looked at him, his
belly tight with worry. “I need to tell you ... that I...”
Ben stumbled over the
words. How did you tell your male best friend that you were in love with him?
Chase leaned back
against the wall and crossed his arms, that smug grin firmly in place. “If
you’re going to tell me you want Ariana, too, then you’re going to have a fight
on your hands.”
Ben clenched his fists,
anger boiling up inside him. He opened his mouth and screamed at the man he had
loved for a decade.
“I don’t want Ariana! I
fucking want you! Don’t you get it? I don’t want to be your best friend who you
fucked when you were drunk! I want to be your mate, too!”
Chase’s mouth dropped open,
and his eyes widened. Then his eyes turned yellow, and he took a step forward.
His huge hands reached for Ben, cupping his face and drawing it to his mouth.
Ben groaned and grabbed
Chase about the waist, hauling his huge male into his body, absorbing Chase’s
moan and squeezing his arse.
He pulled back and
grabbed Chase’s jean-covered arse. “I want you.”
He stared at the man he
wanted above all else waiting for a sign that Chase felt the same.
“I...” Chase cleared
his throat. “I want you, too,” Chase said, the words gravelly.
Ben dropped to his
knees and unbuttoned Chase’s jeans in a hurry. He had never done this for his
lover, their previous intimacies brief with almost no foreplay. Now, he could
think of no other way to brand Chase as his own. His powerful eagle was close
to the surface.
He opened up Chase’s
jean placket, and his cock sprang out, pointing directly to Ben’s mouth. Thick,
heavy, red, and swollen.
God, it’s beautiful.
He wrapped his hand
around the base and looked up at his man.
“I want to suck you so
bad.”
He waited, wanting the
confirmation that Chase wanted it, too.
His mate didn’t respond
with words, but slid his fingers into Ben’s short hair and pulled him closer.
That was all the permission he needed.
Ben smiled as he licked
the tip. Yum.
“Chase ... are you
here?” Ariana’s voice shocked them both, and Ben turned his head, ready to jump
up.
But he was already too
late. She wasn’t coming in. She was already here.
Tamsin Bio:
Tamsin
Baker is an Aussie girl who just discovered erotic romance ten months ago.
Before that, she would read sexy romance, skipping the plot and looking for the
all the naughty bits. Since then, she has written erotic romance and erotica
novels of varying length and has had fourteen published (so far!). She
absolutely loves reading and writing!
She has two other jobs, including kids and a hubby too – but writing is a
passion that she has to indulge for fear of insanity.
M/M
is a passion of hers so even when she writes ménage, there is always an M/M
story. She particularly enjoys writing female dommes, but she loves
experimenting in all genres. Tamsin is learning to write and read more one step
at a time. Soon, she’ll have stories published in every sub-genre of erotic
romance – well that’s her aim anyway!
