Food Lust ✯`*•.¸
(A Crimson Confession #1) by JD Lexx
For
some, the kitchen represents a sanctuary of the senses—a mergence
of soul and sustenance that licks at the flesh while teasing the
mind’s pleasure. To others, it’s but a steely hive of horror. And
then there’s JESSICA AMES, a canned soup kind of girl in a land of
haute cuisine whose aversion to culinary adventure once seemed all
but incurable. But when she catches the eye of celebrity chef MARCO
ADRIANO at a pretentious rooftop soiree, his uniquely sensual take on
food whets an appetite that may just prove insatiable. If only they’d
had more time…

¸.•*´✯MALEDICTION:
Rise of the Crimson Confessions✯`*•.¸
Synopsis
- Some devote a lifetime to the endless
pursuit of love. Others spend even longer trying to outrun it.
Between the shimmering lights of Paris and New Orleans’
commercialized sin, author J.D. Lexx embarks on his latest hunt. Once
content to walk blindly in the light, these days he prowls a
different world, one of shadow and sensuality where flesh yields to
the probing hungers of fantasy. Driven by painful reminders of
opportunity left unseized, he roams, tirelessly seeking the next in a
growing collection of Crimson Confessions.
Yet these
tales of conquest and seduction which have brought such notoriety are
merely bait for a more transcendent prey. The one he truly stalks is
infinitely more elusive, and lethal in her charms. To win her over,
and write the happy ending to this unfinished story, an infamous
collector of secrets must now lay his own bare for all to see.
Chasing a trail of enticing exploits stretching from Sin City to
Prague, every stop leads him back to the beginning…and one step
closer to her.

About J.D. Lexx:
International
attorney, award-winning journalist and last of a modest raconteur
bloodline, J.D. Lexx has been a storyteller for most of his life and
a student of humanity for even longer. Perhaps it’s no wonder that
he takes such pleasure in the subtle tease of the written word, in
kindling curiosity with every shared tale, then daring the
imagination to continue on beyond The End.
A traveler
by nature, Lexx spends most of his time between the frenzied streets
of New York and the slower pace of New Orleans’ Vieux Carré. When
not exploring the sensual psyche through his writing, he can usually
be found honing his skills in the kitchen or working alongside
charitable organizations to promote literacy and tolerance— two
causes not only reflected in his work, but forever dear to his heart.

Interview With J.D. Lexx:
- Can you tell us a little about your books?
I like
to think my books are inherently difficult to define. They’re sensual, yes, and
oftentimes erotic, but never grounded in the sex itself. To me, those moments
should arise naturally within the construct of living life and adventure. In
that sense, I suppose my one guiding principle is that my words spark the
imagination and lead my readers to think. To engage and vicariously participate
in the scenes as they unfold. I’m proud to hear it every time a new reader
comes to me and tells me of the “book hangover” my work has caused them. Not
because it strokes my ego but because it validates that work in the most
important way—it made them see the allure in something new. It tells me that,
at least to those people, the books I’ve written are not simply the next stop
in a line of enjoyable reads. They’re ones that will stick in the mind even
after they’re finished.
- When did you know you wanted to write a book?
That’s
a tough question. I’ve always known I was a writer; I think most of us do. But
then, my whole life I’ve had others pushing me to write as well. Maybe that’s
why I’ve never considered it a skill or god forbid a talent. I see it as a gift
I was fortunate enough to be given, and I want to put it to the best use
possible.
As for
when I knew I wanted to write a book, I wrote my first in college, over the
course of a summer full of sleepless nights. Since then, the only real question
is which I wanted to write next.
That’s the part that took a few years but as I’ve traveled between the
liberation of both coasts to the more conservative pocket in between, I’ve seen
a lot of discrepancy between the comfort people have when it comes to
sexuality. Somehow I just knew that I wanted to turn my writing to the notion of
embracing that side of ourselves and not being ashamed. That’s why I try to
compel a story through its humanity first and foremost.
- Do you work with an outline, or just write?
I’m
definitely a pantser. I find that outlines just don’t work for me. They constrict
the flow of the story. I’ve never written one yet that ended where I expected
it to. That one of the things I love about writing. It takes me along on the
journey as well.
- Do you aim for a set amount of words/pages per day?
Honestly,
and I may be old-fashioned about this, but I aim for quality and only quality.
When I see other writers boasting that they have met their 17,000 word quota
for the day, it makes me cringe. The easier it is to write, the more painful it
will be to read. And with the unchecked freedom of a self-publishing market, I
think a few authors out there have forgotten the value of crisply crafted text
in their mad dash to crank out as many books as possible. Personally, for the
sake of our readers, I would love to see the industry as a whole take a step
back, breathe, and resume writing good
books in place of abundant ones.
- Which book has been your favorite to write?
I’d
have to say Malediction, hands down. While I love all the books I’ve written,
Malediction has allowed me to dig deeper than ever before and really tap into
emotion and suspense in ways my novellas have not. But then, each of those
carry the seed of a bigger story so they were each quite a challenge in their
own rights.
- Do you have a favorite spot to write?
I have
an office closed off from the world where I can best concentrate but honestly,
I’d rather be outside in the garden on a nice day. I’ve always felt that the
fresh air and world buzzing around me frees up the mind to wander.
- Do you listen to music while you write?
No, I
find most music too distracting. Though I will use different sound generators
to help set the tone and the mood I’m aiming for.
- For someone who hasn't read any of you books yet, which one would you suggest they read first?
When
asked, my team and fans typically recommend Food Lust since it’s a playful,
breezy read. Or sometimes Two-Way Glass for its darker and most suspenseful
elements. But now that Malediction is on the market, I like to think it will be
the book that introduces me to new readers.
- What do you do when you are not writing?
I’m
usually planning what to write next. But given the opportunity, I love to get
away from my world and into some new element. Travel and new experiences are
big with me. I could sit on Google and research all day but I find the most
intriguing ideas come to me when I’m away from the keyboard.
- What are writing projects are you currently working on?
I
currently have my first stand-alone (non-Crimson Confession) novel near
completion and I am preparing to shop that around. It’s a little bit mystical,
a little bit fantastic, and a whole lot of sensual wrapped into a quick-paced
adventure-mystery. I can’t wait for the world to read it.
