Paige Mathews Consume Me blog tour and giveaway!

11/10/2013

I know recently that everything on the blog has been all things horrorish and zombified because of my new release- Odium, but I have a special writer with me today, who wants to share her newest book- Consume Me.
It's all thngs sexy and a little more in-between--with not a zombie in sight, but here, let me hand you over to the goregous Paige Mathews, and let her tell you all about it.

Consume Me Synopsis

Emma O'Connor's interest in bondage and submission has led her to the training program at Devoured. With past sexual experiences less than par, Emma wants nothing more than to submit to a Master. With her need for pleasure and her desire to please, Emma finds herself exploring the desires that have remained subdued; although unsure if she could make a good submissive.

Marcus, the Dom in charge of the training program at Devoured, is more than interested in the feisty submissive. When Emma walks in for her interview, Marcus knows he's met his match. Consumed by nothing but thoughts of her, Marcus begins to doubt his ability to stay in control and his previous stance on collaring a submissive. Marcus finds himself unsure of his feelings for Emma, and his responsibility to the other trainees.

When a threat surfaces against Emma and her past comes back to haunt her, Marcus must admit his feelings for her in order to protect her, or risk losing her forever.

Join Marcus, Emma, and the rest of the Devoured Club Doms and Subs in the second installment of the Devoured Club Series

Let's get to know the little sauce-pot a bit more shall we...

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in a very small town in Connecticut, one where you pretty much knew everyone and they all knew
you.

When did you start writing?

I started writing more journal like pieces during high school and then during my undergraduate degree I originally wanted to be a journalist. It wasn’t until my graduate degree where I started writing creative pieces including prose poetry, flash fiction and
novels.

What made you start writing?

To be honest, writing was always a therapeutic activity for me, a way to work out all the confusion in my brain. During college, my love for reading, literature and writing blossomed and I felt that I had stories in my head that I wanted to share with others.

Is it something that you have always wanted to do?

Of course it is! Literature has always been an escape for me during my life. I was the kid with the book sitting in the corner rather than being a social butterfly. I always wanted to write my own novels and it wasn’t until after I pursued my degree in English and Writing that I felt confident enough to do it.

What is your favourite genre to read, and do you have any favourite books or authors you would like to recommend?

enjoy mysteries and romance. I currently enjoy more erotica than anything else, but I go through phases.
All of my favourite authors are the classics (at least to us) but include Hardy, Bronte, Ibsen, Shaw. Contemporary authors include Faulkner, Twain (not so contemporary) Tim O’Brien. Hot authors I like today are Tiffany Reisz, Maya
banks, Sylvia Day and many, many more.

What about to write?

I primarily write erotica, but have a contemporary romance in progress and another idea brewing, which will be worked on after I finish my Devoured Club Series.

Do you write full time? If not, what do you do?

I wish I could write full-time, if I can manage half time I’m doing okay. I work a full-time job and am a wife, mommy and student. Writing occurs primarily when I can fit it in.

Do you ever base your characters on anyone that you know, or are they solely from your imagination?

Mostly my characters are from my imagination although I think all writers bring in characteristics of themselves or people
they know. My character in my first novel and the lead in the second both possess characteristics, wants and desires of a certain person that I know, however, the character isn’t based solely on them.

Tell us about your latest book. The story/plot.

My current series actually revolves around a trio of Doms that own a BDSM club in Boston. Devour Me is about how an emotionally abused girl finds her way into the lifestyle and comes to terms with her desires and abuse. Consume Me, which is scheduled to come out in the Fall, revolves around two-self professed “singles” and their attempts to fight their attractions to one another while exploring the desires of BDSM, all while a stalker wreaks havoc on the female lead. Empower Me, scheduled to come out next spring, is about the final Dom and his need to face the mistakes of his past.

What gave you the idea?

I had the idea to focus a series on a club, and chronicle the issues of the three top Dominants/owners and the issues and insecurities that they face. I enjoy the idea of the entwined story lines.

What genre is it?

Erotica with BDSM elements

Who is your favourite character?

So far my favourite character is Marcus, our hero in book two.

And worst?

I currently don’t have a worst character, although if I had to choose it would have been a supporting character in the first
book.

What are your hopes for it?

Honestly, the first book has sold more copies than I’d ever imagined. My hopes are that the series will be entertaining to readers and that they enjoy the novels, although I know not everyone will. I love my characters and I hope readers do as well.

What’s the next project that you’re working on?

I am currently working on the next two books in the series and then a newer contemporary rocker romance.

What’s the best piece of advice that you have been given in regards to your writing?

That I actually can write! Seriously, my second semester in college I was told by a professor that I would never make it in the world of Literature and here I am, a self-published author with a few 5 star reviews. That’s enough for me.

Review

The most surprising thing that I found with Consume Me, was how much I got emotionally invested. A lot of BDSM stories are focused solely around the club and the sex, and this wasn't. There was a plot, an actual plot people! And one that interested me and left me wondering, a real, whodunnit.
Both Marcus and Emma had me intrigued in their pasts and wanting to learn more about them, and hoping that the author wasn't going to be completely cruel and not let them hook up as more than just Master and Sub. (I'm not telling by the way, you'll have to read it and find out!) In all honesty, all the characters that you meet in Consume Me will interest you, and there is clearly so much story left to tell, from various angles, because by the end of the story, all I wanted was MORE.

The club scene was well described without being crude, and yet it gave you a brilliant image of everything that was going on, and Paige really didn't hold back on anything--seriously, ANYTHING, and that added so much to the book. With the full characters, well-rounded plot, and smoking-hot sex scenes you are in for a real treat!
