Since it’s July — one of my favorite months — and because I so rarely do this, I decided to put nearly all of my indie published books on sale over at Smashwords for the entire month.
They’re all 50% off, which is a lower price than you’ll find anywhere — even at my own store!
For those of you who wanted to pick up some more of my backlist, this is your opportunity to do it and get a lot more bang (ahem) for your buck.
Hope you enjoy, and have a (early) Happy 4th of July!
Until next time,
Trent
It occurred to me today that I had neglected to write a blog post for my new novel. I miss blogging. Seriously.
And I want to get back into it. Soon!
But for now, I’m just going to tell you about my new book:)
I kept my mouth shut about this book for a couple of reasons. Mostly because I was afraid that if I uttered a peep about it that it might somehow derail my progress on it. I know, weird. The other reason was that I like to surprise my loyal readers:)
Mate is a dark science fiction romance stand-alone novel. There isn’t a series attached to this one, and I don’t see that changing either (never say never though…)
If you like a seriously alpha alien and a strong, resourceful heroine who nonetheless can’t resist the allure of total surrender… well, you’re gonna be into this one. It’s dirty, and hot, and at times it might piss you off a little.
But it’ll be worth it, in the end.
For now, this book is exclusive to Amazon, and it’s likely to stay that way for the next 6 months or so (at least). Beyond that, it may be released wide to other retailers, but that is ultimately a decision that’s up to the publisher.
Read on for the description and a tasty little excerpt:)
Description
She was offered as a sacrifice. He took her as his mate.
The moment her ship crash-landed, Selena Marks knew she was in way over her head, and that was before the natives of this planet took her captive, stripped her bare, and brought her deep into a sacred cave to be given as a sexual sacrifice to the godlike brute whose whims they serve.
Though Selena has an idea of what is in store for her, when her captor claims her it is far more intense than anything she could have imagined. Every attempt at defiance or escape ends with her pleading for mercy as her quivering body is punished and ravaged in the most shameful ways possible, but with each helpless, screaming climax, the truth becomes harder and harder to deny.
She is his mate, and soon she will beg for him to breed her.
Publisher’s Note: Mate includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Excerpt
As if he could read her mind, his fingertips worried her swollen clit, even as he continued his punishing thrusts within the tight clutch of her aching, and still quite sore, sex.
The burning in her ass was now far more intense than the stretching ache in her pussy.
“Please take it out! I’ll… do anything!”
Despite the discomfort of being so very full, the pleasure/pain of her pussy being stretched to its limit by his big penis held an illicit thrill that she knew she would take to her grave before admitting to her captor.
Don’t you mean your lover?
Or her owner.
“The only way I’m taking out the stone is if I replace it with my cock.” He pushed deep until she groaned loudly. “And you’ll have to beg even more this time.”
“What? I… this isn’t fair!”
He pulled out and thundered inside her again.
“Ah! God… damn!”
“Beg me, human. Beg or your little bottom is going to burn even hotter. Do you really like the pain that much?”
“No! N-never!”
His voice was very low, even as he thrust into her with harsh, quick strokes. “Then beg, slut. Beg for my cock in your bottom. Beg me to stretch you there even more than the stone is stretching you right now.”
Utterly and completely helpless, defeated, she knew there was only one way. Escape was impossible, the only deliverance in the arms of surrender.
“Please… my God… please!” Her voice seized, tears threatening again, even as the feel of his big cock battering her pussy was engendering a distressing amount of pleasure, the pain beginning to transform into something else entirely.
“Not good enough. Beg me—convince me you want me to stake that luscious bottom on my cock. Show me how much you want that pleasure, that pain.”
“Please… sir! I… need it!” Her voice was almost a rasp now. “F-fuck my ass!”
“I like this ‘sir’—you’ll continue with that. Now, say it correctly, slut.” He sank his teeth into the back of her thigh, but not enough to truly hurt. It was a mark of possession, rather than punishment. “Say: ‘please take me in my bottom, sir.’”
She thought her entire body might ignite with the force of her blushing, and yet, a surge of fresh juices let down, dripping out around his pistoning shaft, her perineum wet with it.
“P-please… take me in”—she swallowed miserably, forcing herself to finish it—“i-in my bottom, sir!”
Incredibly, instead of withdrawing, he pounded into her even harder, his fingers rubbing at her clit. She was very nearly at her climax—and it was the most tortured climax she could have imagined.
When he pinched her hot, swollen clit, she squeezed tight, crying out, clamping down upon his plunging shaft, throwing her head back, her orgasm shaking her, wringing her out, exhausting her still further.
Next Up For Trent
Work continues on Beautiful Possession, Book 4 of the Valley of Surrender series; a sequel to Submission’s Edge (working title: Captive Cargo); and Terran Captives III (title still TBD).
I’ve got another contemporary that’s been my focus for a while too. Way too many projects!!
Property of the Vampire, Book II in the Chronicles of Muurland series is coming together in draft form nicely. This is one I’m looking so forward to writing. It’s fucked up, and hot as hell. If you want to get a taste of how messed up this series is going to be, check out the first book, The Fall of Lady Westwood. You won’t be sorry.
The follow-up to What She’s Looking For remains in very early rough outline form, and it’s probably going to be on the backburner for the rest of the year. But I will continue it at some point. There is still so much to tell when it comes to the tangled story of these characters.
Finally — and it was actually suggested by another reader — a story is percolating for a trio of minor characters (the demanding Jack, his sweet wife Jessica, and Jack’s equally demanding brother) that appeared in my novel, Tamara’s Choice.
This new tale is… really, really dirty. And dark. It’s so dub-con and borderline non-con that I might have to figure out how to dial it back.
Or I may just say “fuck it” and write it as messed up as it appears to be right now. We shall see…
Until next time,
Trent
In my previous post, I realize I may have conveyed a bit more of a pessimistic tone than I’d intended. I was going for realistic… but I recognize I may have missed the mark there. I’ll try not to be such a Debbie Downer with this post… but I can’t promise I’ll succeed:)
I don’t normally engage in the predictions game, but this is an industry rife with so much change that I thought I’d make a few this year just for shits & giggles. In 2018, we can come back and laugh at how many I got wrong. I’ll start with the higher confidence predictions, and end with the more… unlikely ones.
This should be interesting…
(Disclaimer: What follows are my opinions only, based on my observations of the publishing industry.)

I try to keep this blog reader focused, but from time to time, I also will opine on the publishing industry as a whole. This is one of those times, so if reading my blathering about the state of publishing doesn’t sound like your idea of a party, we’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming soon:) Oh, and a warning: this blog post is long.
2016. Well, that was interesting!
So much changed during 2016, and I don’t really have the space here to go into all of it, so I’ll just hit a few highlights of the things I noted during the past year. Ready? Here goes…

Hello all!
After many false starts, and much gnashing of teeth, the fourth book in the Dominion Trust series, Quinton’s Crucible, is now live at all major retailers.
This story follows the story of the harrowing ordeal of Quinton Trask, a rather nasty fellow readers were first introduced to in book #2 of the series, Her Troika. Unlike anything I’ve ever written, this book is my first F/m title, and it’s likely the darkest book I’ve written to date (if you’re averse to non-con themes, look elsewhere…). Quinton may be a “bad” man… but even his considerable will is no match for the steely Anna Shaw.
Since this is an F/m title, I recognize that this story may not be for some of you, and that’s perfectly okay. We all like what we like. But I just had to write this story. The tale of Anna and Quinton had been gnawing at me to write for longer than I care to admit, and I simply had no choice but to complete it.
For those who take a chance on it though, I think you’ll be surprised. Read on after the product description for a nasty little excerpt:)
A Note About Kindle Unlimited Availability: This book is being released wide for now, so for those of you non-Amazon folks you’re in luck.
Due to several recent troubling changes implemented by Amazon, I am keeping this title out of KU at this time. I understand that this may be problematic for any readers who only read via KU, but without complete confidence that Amazon is correctly recording page reads in the program I cannot in good conscience put any new titles into KU. I’m very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause some of you.
If Amazon cleans up the mess that is the current state of Kindle Unlimited (and yes, IMO it is definitely a mess), then I can certainly revisit putting new titles into KU. But until then, for business reasons (and my basic sense of right and wrong) I cannot put this title — or any other new titles — into KU.
(If any of you have questions regarding the current KU problems, feel free to write me and I’d be happy to explain further.)
Hope you enjoy the book!
As it so often was, my choice was obedience, or pain.
When they held the whip, or the cane, or the crop, my eyes always focused on the hands. The way the fingers caressed the braided leather of a handle, the way a maroon painted nail would catch the light as the cane sliced through the air, my bound body waiting to be reacquainted with its old friend agony.

Happy Labor Day!
My new scifi dark erotic romance, Taking The Human, has thus far been well-received (thank you!!), and I’ve already had a few requests for the print version. Finally, the links to the print versions have gone live on Amazon.
While I was at it, I realized I hadn’t done the print versions for book #2 in the Spanked Wives series, Falon’s Captivity, nor had I done one for my MfM menage novel, What She’s Looking For.
That’s since been remedied too, just click on the cover images above:)
(Note to non-Amazon readers: Though the print versions of my books are done through Createspace, virtually any bookstore can order them quite easily, and in some cases —Barnes & Noble.com is one example — you can even buy Createspace print editions online as well.)
Hope you enjoy!
