Writers on Wednesday: Marie Tuhart

It's time once again for Writers on Wednesday. This week I am chatting with Marie Tuhart, author of Bound and Teased ...



Tell me a bit about yourself …

I was born and raised in San Francisco, California, and moved to the Pacific Northwest in Washington State several years ago.  I played at writing when I was a teenager and finished my first novel length book at 19.

Tell us about your most recently published book?

Bound & Teased is a committed menage book.  Here’s a blurb:

Eight years ago, a naive Katie Crane ran from Ry and Jed, warned their brand of love would ruin her life. Now she's all grown up and returning home with a better understanding of the BDSM lifestyle. After the betrayal she's faced at her father's hands, she worries she won't be strong enough to submit to the men she gave her heart and virginity to at eighteen. 

Jed Malloy and Ry McCade are surprised and thrilled by Katie's return to Felton's Creek. They'd been heartbroken after her departure and had turned to each other, embracing the BDSM lifestyle without her. Katie's homecoming sparks hope and worry. Ry isn’t sure he can keep his dominant side under control, and Jed fears Katie will see him as less of a man by being a switch and Ry’s submissive.

Having Katie back could mean the beginning of everything they've ever wanted or the end to the only family they've ever known.

Tell us about the first time you were published?

I was first published in 2010 by The Wild Rose Press. My first book In Plain Sight was a book I’d written years before for another publisher but never submitted.  When I submitted to The Wild Rose Press I really didn’t expect them to buy it.  I was thrilled and excited when they offered me a contract.  I’ve learned a lot since then.

As writer, what has been your proudest achievement so far?

I’m proud that I produce good, quality books.  I want readers to have fun reading my books and while I’m not perfect I want the reader to have the best experience they can.

What books or writing projects are you currently working on, if anything?

I’m currently working on a two books in a series tentatively titled: Doms of the Silver Screen.  It’s played in the world of movies I have an actor, a director, a graphic artist and a costume designer.

Which do you prefer? eBooks or Paper Books? Why?

I’ve gone more and more to eBooks.  Mainly because I have such a wide selection, and many small publishers do e-Books only.  I occasionally do read paper, but not so much anymore unless it’s a research book.

Finally … is there anything you would like to say to your readers in Adelaide, Australia?

I hope to travel to Australia one day.  I have a couple of online friends who live there and it would be great to meet all my fans who live in a wonderful country.

Peppermint Patty: I Cried and Cried and Cried

Image
Unrequited love is a common theme in the Peanuts Comics and is one that I have previously explored on this blog. We know that Lucy loves Schroeder, Sally loves Linus and Charlie Brown has a crush on the unseen, unnamed and utterly unattainable Little Redhaired Girl. But perhaps the saddest unrequited love stories from the comic is that which ran in late June 1972. It was the series of strips where the usually self-confident Peppermint Patty came face-to-face with the Little Redhaired Girl with the intention of thumping her and then something surprising happened: Here we have a usually self-confident girl, who is funny, unashamedly herself and talented at sports reduced to tears by the realisation of who she is not and never can be. I really feel for her in this series of comic strips. She knows that Charlie Brown can never love her, when he is so hung up over a girl who represents a supposedly ideal feminine beauty. Fortunately Linus, the most spiritual member of the Pean

Charlie Brown, Lucy Van Pelt and the Football

Image
One of the longest, and arguably, most infuriating, running gags in Charles Schulz's otherwise brilliant Peanuts comic strip, is where Lucy promises to hold a football for Charlie Brown and then pulls it away at the last minute, causing Charlie Brown to fall flat on his back. A typical strip looks like this: Source: Go Comics The gag is one of the darker themes in the strip. It works on the concept that every year, Lucy promises to hold a football for Charlie Brown. Every year, Charlie Brown is initially filled with doubt but is eventually pushed on by a kind of optimism that perhaps, this time, Lucy might just let him kick it after all. As a metaphor for life, it is pretty simple. It talks of the moments when we choose to put our trust in people who have let us down only to be taken by surprise when they let us down, again. Lucy is, arguably, one of the crueller characters in the comic. Described as crabby by the other characters, she is often selfish, takes delight in wilfully hu

Phrases and Idioms: Tickets on Himself

To have tickets on himself: (Australian slang.) To be conceited or vain. To have an overinflated opinion of oneself.  He's got tickets on himself if he thinks that any woman would fall for that. I was thinking about this particular bit of Australian slang the other day, after my boss said, "He's got tickets on himself," to describe the actions of a particular individual. At the time, I smiled, knowing exactly what the boss meant. Later on, I started to ponder on this unusual phrase and wondered where it might have come from. A search on google helped me find the definition, but that was about all. There are no references to it being used in pop culture or literature (if you find one, let me know,) and at the time of writing this post, Tickets on Himself was not listed on Urban Dictionary. (I tried to add it, but the fuckers rejected my definition. They probably think I have tickets on myself or something for trying to add a relatively common piece of A
