Happy New Year!

It's only a few months since the release of my first single author title, Double Strokes, and I'm beyond pleased to see that it's been picking up some great reviews and ratings.

I'd like to thank the reviewers and book bloggers who've taken the time, and share a handful of their excerpts here, but do follow the links to see the full reviews (and many, many more) on their sites.

'Tis the Season to be Jolly...

2011-12-01T10:13:00.001Z

And very jolly indeed this December looks set to be, with the ink yet to dry on four (yes, FOUR!) shiny new contracts for works due to be released in the first half of 2012!

One is a novella entitled Love, Interrupted which will be out with TEB in early June, and the others are all short stories which will appear in three separate anthologies for an exciting (and frustratingly secret) new venture to be announced in January.

So, on top of the all usual festive shennanigans, I plan to party hard in celebration of the above. And what better way to help soak up all that bubbly booze than by making like the lovely Mr Gandy, below, and helping myself to handfuls of salty nuts. YUM!

Blisse's Kisses

2011-10-02T08:58:00.000+01:00

I'm joining Victoria Blisse for another Sunday Snog today ;)

This week I've chosen a passage from my short story, Tomfoolery, which appears in Xcite Books' Cocktales: All Night Long anthology.

‘Too late, Lucy.’ He grasps my jaw and traps meagain in the dark pools of his eyes. ‘You have no secrets from me. Not anymore.’

He leans in then and brushes my lips with thelightest of kisses. Withdrawing only a fraction, he whispers, ‘Say yes,’ breathtingling against my lips.

My head spins, my heart races. Surely it’sobvious that I’m way beyond the task of forming single syllable words, muchless making decisions.

‘Say yes, Lucy.’ Tom widens his smile like heknows exactly what havoc his proximity is wreaking. His thumb trails over mybottom lip. Mopping up drool, I wouldn’t be surprised.

‘You want this.’ He leans in for anotherbarely-there kiss. ‘God knows I want it.’ His knuckles stroke from neck toshoulder, then along the length of my arm. Using strong fingers he prises oneof my hands from its death-lock around my knees and pushes the vibrator into mypalm. He covers my fingers with his own, wrapping them around the base. ‘I wantyou, Lucy. Say yes.’

Anotherwhisper of a kiss, this time accompanied by a butterfly touch of his tongue,warm and sweet ‘Trust me. Say yes to me.’

Well, hell. If there’s any way to say ‘no’ to himin this moment, I can’t think of it.‘Yes,’ I breathe, watching a triumphantexpression flash across his face. Suddenly he slips the invisible leash he’sbeen keeping on his control and strikes with dizzying speed.

Grasping my head in his hands, Tom fuses ourlips together and pushes his tongue between them to tangle with my own.

Swept away by the hot reality of his kiss thatis so much better that anything I could conjure in a daydream, I moan my surrenderinto his mouth. He moans back, the sound a low growl as he begins to use lipsand teeth and tongue to claim every part of my mouth. It’s pure possession and I’venever tasted anything like it.

Without breaking the kiss, Tom pulls us up tostand. Wrapping his arms tight around my back, he lifts me right off my feetand, ignoring my squeals, walks us the short distance back to his room.Lowering me onto the edge of his bed, he drops to kneel between my thighs.

Mouths still fused, he eases me onto my back. Ihold him to me, savouring the pressure of his weight, the sensation of beingcrushed beneath him. But not for long.

His hands run down my sides and he rears backonto his knees to look down at me. ‘God, I love the look of you on my bed,’ hesays, bunching the hem of my top in his fists and pushing the fabric up over mybreasts. ‘So lovely,’ hegroans as his eyes trace every swell and dip of my shape. ‘Lovelier even thanI’d imagined.’

I love the characters of Tom and Lucy so much that I'll be writing more about their escapades soon. You can download All Night Long right now to read the rest of their first encounter in Tomfoolery. And don't forget to visit the Sunday Snog for more lip tingling snippets!

Pucker Up!

2011-09-18T08:48:00.001+01:00

I'm taking part inVictoria Blisse's Sunday Snog this week, sharing a lip-smacking taste from my new release Double Strokes:

They wasted no time getting started on herthe second Ben’s front door clicked shut behind them. Nate, fierce and focussed,cupped Gemma’s head and dived for her lips, guiding her backwards down the halland into the sitting room without ever breaking the kiss. His flavour was justas she remembered—hot, hungry, addictive.

In the background, she was half aware ofcurtains being drawn and soft lamplight blossoming warm and golden in thesudden dimness of the room. Then Ben was there, crowding up against her spinelike he had in the bar tent, only this time he didn’t stop pushing until herfront was flush against the solid length of Nate.

Trapped between two towering walls of leanmuscle and blanketed by heat and the earthy scent of male, she felt tiny,acutely feminine.

“That’s it, sweetheart,” Ben whispered inresponse to the small, involuntary sound she made in the back of her throat. Heprised her fingers loose from where they gripped Nate’s blazer and lifted herarms to wrap them around the taller man’s neck. “Give yourself to Nate. He’sbeen waiting such a long time to taste your lovely lips again.”

Gemma doubted her ability to do anything butcomply. Not with Nate’s kiss stealing all the breath from her lungs, making hersenses whirl and turning her knees to jelly. While he used his tongue topossess every inch of her mouth, Ben got busy with his hands, tracing her shapefrom shoulder to hip and back again before working them between her and Nate’stightly pressed bodies.

Anticipating the feel of those warm palmscovering her breasts, Gemma wriggled, but Ben’s dexterous fingers seemed moreinterested in her clothing, launching a search and destroy mission against thelong row of buttons fastening the front of her dress.

Once Ben had worked all the way up from thelast button, he and Nate backed off a fraction, removing their blazers and tiesbefore spinning her on the spot so she faced Ben. Nate settled his hands overher shoulders, scorching her skin as he grasped the now-gaping neckline of herdress and began drawing it down over her collarbones.

Ben stepped in close, placing his fingertipsunder her chin to tilt her mouth up to his. He showered her lips with a soft,teasing rain of kisses, so different from Nate’s demanding possession.
Gemma shivered at the feel of her silk dressslipping lower, exposing her heated skin to the evening air. Nate’s mouthfollowed the path of the material, searing a trail of licks and nips over hershoulder and down her spine. He dropped to a crouch as the dress pooled aroundher ankles. Lifting one foot at a time, he freed her of the fabric.
“I think we’ll keep the heels. I like them,”he said, brushing a touch over the delicate straps of her high sandals.Positioning her feet shoulder-width apart, he ran his oar-roughened palms upthe backs of her legs, creating a delicious friction against her smooth, bareskin.
“But everything else, pretty as it is, isgoing to have to go.” She felt Nate’s fingertips slip under the very edges ofher cream, satin briefs and trace the elasticated line outwards across themounds of her buttocks. Continuing around the curve of her hips, he drew thecaress all the way to the sensitive crease between thigh and groin, headingright for the spot where she burnt brightest.
Gemma abandoned fumbling with Ben’s shirtbuttons and grabbed at his shoulders as light-headedness overtook her. Heresponded by deepening his kiss, demanding full access to her mouth as hishands cupped her lace-covered breasts. He squeezed gently, thumbs strokingacross the plump upper slopes.
“You feel hot here, Gemma, just like Iremember,” Nate murmured from behind, halting the slide of his fingers at thejuncture of her thighs. “I wonder, are you wet, too?”
Gemma couldn’t replyas Ben curled his tongue around hers and Nate began rubbing tiny circles on the spot...

Not enough? Why not head over to Victoria's to sate your appetite with a sample of some more Sunday smooching treats? I know there's a bit of Tasty Italian on offer.

Release Day!

2011-09-12T14:15:00.002+01:00

Double Strokes, my first short story ebook with Total-E-Bound is out today! I'd like to offer you a taste to celebrate.

"... You must be mad, Gemma admonished herself as she wove throughthe crowds towards the nearest bar tent, the tingling sensation on the back ofher neck telling her that two sets of predatory eyes tracked her every move.

Lord, she needed a drink.

Long before arriving, she’d had a badfeeling about this—a feeling that had only intensified the moment she’d steppedinto the riverside enclosure and seen what was awaiting her. She’d known thenit had been a mistake to let Ben talk her into coming here today to meet upwith both himself and Nate Hunter.

But not nearly as big a mistake as she’dmade assuming the half-decade since she’d last seen the two of them togetherwould have done something to dilute the raw, sexual potency of the pair. Ifanything, their appeal seemed to have grown more pronounced, as though thefinal transition from youth to manhood had concentrated their trademark air ofseductive wickedness into something deeper, darker—something altogether moredangerous.

From what Gemma could tell, she wasn’t theonly one in the crowd to have noticed their particular charms. Here and there,female heads craned, lashes fluttered and coy looks were cast in the directionof the pair of tall, athletic, ex-championship rowers.

Gemma dared another glance over hershoulder. Her stomach flipped and she all but stumbled. There they stood likenight and day—Ben so fair and bright, Nate all dark and brooding—ignoringeverything but her, their hungry gazes eating her up in a way that suggestedGemma sandwich still very much featured on their menu.

Lord, she was in trouble. Big trouble.

Reaching the relative safety of the tent,Gemma ducked inside and pushed to the front of the bar. She ordered somethinglong and alcoholic and gulped down the ice cool liquid, which utterly failed todouse the flickers of sinful excitement burning low in her belly.

Help!

Excitement was the last thing she wassupposed to be feeling. Remorse, revulsion, resolution—that was what thisexercise was all about. The only reason she’d agreed to come here was so shecould finally face up to and bury the mistakes of the past. To prove to herselfshe’d moved on, grown out of those shameful, confused impulses—matured intosomeone normal.

Except it wasblatantly obvious she’d done no such thing, not when a single look from thedynamic duo was all it took to turn her nipples hard and make herknickers damp. ..."

Frankly, I don't think Gemma's got the first clue what's good for her - a sentiment that Nate and Ben happen to share. And for only £1.69 you can go and find out right now just how persuasive a pair they can be.

Summer's over - let's get naked!

2011-09-08T11:42:00.001+01:00

And by that I mean it's time to turn up the heat with this very sexy little number:

I'm thrilled to have my decorative little D/s story, Exposed Assets, included in this upcoming Undressed Erotica anthology edited by the fabulously filthy Alison Tyler. Don't have details of release date or full line-up yet (completed contracts just in and couldn't wait to share!) but will keep you posted.

Hey! Take a look at the sleek and sexy postcard my new publisher sent me about my upcoming short story ebook, Double Strokes.

How total-e-fabulous is that? Release date is set for September 12, but until then you can read more about it on the Total-E-Bound website.

Fulfill your darkest desires

2011-06-11T12:20:00.002+01:00

The ebook edition of the Dark Desires paranormal anthology is available to download right now! And to celebrate its release, Xcite are offering a free read of Esmeralda Green's ghostly contribution Making Lewis Hard.

Other authors appearing among the twenty strong line-up include Sommer Marsden, KD Grace, Elizabeth Coldwell and Lucy Felthouse, to name but a few.

As promised, here's a little...ahem...taster of my hot-blooded vampire tale, Skin Deep. Hope you enjoy.

‘I know what you are,’ she stutters.

In a flash I have her by the scruff of the neck and out of the fire door, utilising that strength and speed to take us well away from the clamouring sound of the alarm and any responding pursuit. Half way down a deserted alley, I swing into a shadowed doorway and push her against the door. Using the weight of my body I hold her pinned, leaving her dainty feet dangling a foot off the ground.

‘You might think you know me, little girl.’ I lean close and snarl right into her face. ‘But you’ve no idea of the trouble you’re really in.’

‘I d … do know.’ She can barely choke the words out past the terror squeezing her lungs and I have to give her points for courage. With one hand she attempts to push me away, while with the other she scrabbles around in the neckline of her top. Pulling out the end of a long silver chain, she brandishes a crucifix at me. ‘I’ve been w … watching you for weeks. You’re a vampire.’

I’m stunned that she appears to know the truth, but given her current predicament, see no need to deny it. I laugh nastily, making sure she gets a good eyeful of long, sharp fang. ‘And who the hell do you think you are – Buffy the Slayer?’ Wrapping my hand around the useless talisman, I rip it from around her neck and toss it away, gaze locking on the thin red graze left by the rough pull of the chain … and the pulse ticking hard and fast beneath it.

'Oh God, don’t you bite me!’ She struggles harder as she registers the intent stamped on my features. Her heart races flat out, pitter-pattering through the layers of our clothing to tickle against my ribs. ‘I’ll scream!’

She really hadn’t taken the time to think this through to the end, had she?

‘I don’t doubt it, darling.’ I clamp a hand over her mouth and use it to push her chin to the side, stretching out the long line of her neck. Leaning down, I inhale her scent, running my face from clavicle to jaw. She smells good enough to eat. ‘It’s really just a question of how loud,’ I say with soft menace into her ear.

With that she goes wild. Screeches muffled against my palm, she lashes out with hands and feet, elbows and knees. She scratches and hits and kicks, hair flying around her and skin growing flushed as she fights for her very life.

All of which the beast in me absolutely loves.

Goaded, ravenous, I go straight for the jugular, teeth piercing through gossamer-fine skin to sink deep into the hot, living rush of arterial blood.

Into the dark...

2011-04-25T16:43:00.003+01:00

Very excited to announce that a new paranormal of mine, Skin Deep, is to be included in Xcite Books upcoming Dark Desires anthology, due out in July.

I love the look of the cover and can barely wait to get my hands on a copy. Teasingly, it's already available for pre-order at Amazon, and a little nearer the time, it will be my pleasure to introduce the Mr Tall Dark and Dangerous of the tale.

Got the plumbers in this week

2011-01-31T18:38:00.000Z

...and having been lucky enough to witness the exquisite bath work of David O'Mer recently at the amazing La Soiree on London's Southbank, I'm concerned that my expectations might be running a little high.

Deep down, part of me knows that the only possible similarities will end up being the need for abundant plastic sheeting and the god-awful mess, but what's a life without optimism?

Late again!

2011-01-11T18:04:00.005Z

Wishing everyone the best for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2011.

I don't know about you, but I was more than ready to see the back of 2010. Despite having had a totally brilliant start to the year with my first three stories published, it turned out to be tough, with publication cancellations, list re-scheduling, editorial shiftings and the like having to be dealt with over and above the typical rejections and frustratingly sloooooow process that is publishing. I still have work out there that seems to have been sucked into a strange limbo state of pre-contract acceptance, where time has no meaning, but which will hopefully resurface to see the light of day soon. I tell you, I've never been interested in being a saint, but like it or not, this industry is teaching me the patience of one.

So, on to a new year, a new start. Fired up and full of enthusiasm, I'm intending to make up for all that stolen time. Indeed, am already off to a flying start with two brand new submissions out to editors, and a stack of itinerant stories from the past twelve months ready to go to good homes, if only I can find them.

Here's hoping for bigger, brighter, better things for us all this year. Make it a good one!

It's all about the giving

With the freezing weather giving us a very Christmas-y start to December, now might be the time to start thinking of gifts - whether for others or, indeed, your very deserving self. If trying to find inspiration amid the festive High Street scrums is not to your (or your loved one's) taste, then perhaps Myla's sexy and helpful Christmas Girls or their stress-free Twelve Days of Christmas interactive calendar can provide the perfect alternative.

Happy shopping!

Apologies for my absence. At last the mad whirl of the social season is winding down, but, alas, there is no rest for the wicked. Not when there are autumn/winter diaries needing to be filled. Personally, I can't think of a better way to help keep spirits up and the encroaching chill at bay than by signing up for an Erotic Salon or two at Coco de Mer.

For example: In September you might fancy learning how to Please Yourself, then in October, turn your attention to mastering Tricks to Thrill a Man, or a Woman.

Sam Roddick herself kicks off the November Salons with Coco de Mer's Sex Secrets, Tools and Tips, or maybe you'd like to treat yourself (and your eternally grateful partner) to an early Christmas present by taking tuition in how to become Mistress in the Bedroom.

With themes covering spanking, and bondage, and more besides, there's enough heat radiating from these sexy salons to keep you positively glowing from within until it's time to break out the festive mulled wine.

All details at Coco de Mer.

Gay Writes

2010-07-30T14:46:00.004+01:00

Despairing because you didn't make it onto the Booker longlist AGAIN this year? Well, if you're male, published and gay then you're in luck. There's a brand spanking new award in town, boys, and it's just for you.

Allow me to present...

Paul Magrs, Chair of The Man Fooker Prize explains how the idea for the award came about:

"... Suddenly it was literary award season again and longlists were getting bandied about like crazy. And it's annoying because these lists seem a bit ready-made, middlebrow, monotonous and obvious... we thought - wouldn't it be fun and great to do something a bit different?"

If you want to be in with a chance then there's no time to dither. Submission deadlines, rules and regs are set out at http://manfookerprize.wordpress.com/.

"There's no prize money in this,' Paul warns, "...maybe a bit of kudos for the winner!"

But as so many writers know, it's not always about the money. I wish this venture, and all who take part in it, the very best of luck.

[EDIT: The prize has been renamed The Green Carnation to appease the publishing powers that be.]

French Letter

2010-07-26T14:21:00.001+01:00

Well, okay, a postcard really - to let you know I'm having a tough time soaking up the sun, sea and fun in France. Apart from the chilled rose and the oysters on ice, everything else is hot and bronzed and salty... or, as French Affair would have it, Sexy.

Wish you were here. X

"Heart-pounding"

2010-06-25T06:59:00.007+01:00

...is how one review refers to the opening scene of my story Playing Rough which appears in Violet Blue's award winning anthology Sweet Love.

Here's an excerpt:

Instantly, the chase is on. Footfalls pound after her in long-gaited strides, gaining easily, quickly. The skin between her shoulder blades draws tight, tiny hairs ripple at her nape.

Then hard hands are on her, jerking her off her feet, hauling her back against a big, powerful body. A large palm clamps over her mouth, cuts short her scream.

A minute of frantic conflict - tousling shuffles, grunting scuffles - ends with her crushed between hard muscle and solid wall, jacket pulled roughly down to her elbows, pinning her arms to her sides, briefcase and bag on the floor.

An unyielding length presses against her from behind, envelops her from top to toe, imprisons her.

'Scared?' a deep male voice taunts in her ear. 'You should be, given the things I'm about to do to you.'

As you might have guessed, it's not a tale for the faint-hearted. But no need to reach for your blood pressure pills - in Jean Roberta's words over at http://www.eroticarevealed.com/ "The end of the story allows the reader to come down from an adrenaline high..."

Think you can handle it?

Thought a little taster of my current story, Tomfoolery, might help get you in the long, lazy, loving weekend mood.

... ‘You want this.’ He leans in for another barely-there kiss. ‘God knows I want it.’ His knuckles stroke from neck to shoulder, then along the length of my arm. Using strong fingers he prises one of my hands from its death-lock around my knees and pushes the vibrator into my palm. He covers my fingers with his own, wrapping them around the base. ‘I want you, Lucy. Say yes.’

Another whisper of a kiss, this time accompanied by a butterfly touch of his tongue, warm and sweet ‘Trust me. Say yes to me.’

Well, hell. If there’s any way to say ‘no’ to him in this moment, I can’t think of it.

‘Yes,’ I breathe, watching a triumphant expression flash across his face. Suddenly he slips the invisible leash he’s been keeping on his control and strikes with dizzying speed. Grasping my head in his hands, Tom fuses our lips together and pushes his tongue between them to tangle with my own.

Swept away by the hot reality of his kiss that is so much better that anything I could conjure in a daydream, I moan my surrender into his mouth. He moans back, the sound a low growl as he begins to use lips and teeth and tongue to claim every part of my mouth. It’s pure possession and I’ve never tasted anything like it.

Without breaking the kiss, Tom pulls us up to stand. Wrapping his arms tight around my back, he lifts me right off my feet and, ignoring my squeals, walks us the short distance back to his room. Lowering me onto the edge of his bed, he drops to kneel between my thighs.

Mouths still fused, he eases me onto my back. I hold him to me, savouring the pressure of his weight, the sensation of being crushed beneath him. But not for long.

His hands run down my sides and he rears back onto his knees to look down at me. ‘God, I love the look of you on my bed,’ he says, bunching the hem of my top in his fists and pushing the fabric up over my breasts.

‘So lovely,’ he groans as his eyes trace every swell and dip of my shape. ‘Lovelier even than I’d imagined.’

‘You’ve imagined me?’ I ask, flushing, basking, fizzing with delight.

‘Oh, yeah. In ways you couldn’t imagine.’ Tom’s big hands bracket my waist and lift, arching my spine off the mattress. ‘How could I not? Living with the temptation of these lush curves day in, day out?’
Exactly like I’d had to live with the daily torment of him.

‘You like my curves? But… those other women. I thought tall and taut was more your type.’

Grip tightening, Tom pushes his groin into the cradle of my thighs.

‘You feel that?’ He grinds intimately against my naked sex. ‘That should tell you all you need to know about my type, Lucy. I’m hard enough to hammer nails.’

He is, too. Hard and thick and long. I can feel every inch of him straining against his zipper and I want him out of his jeans and into me, right now. ...

If you're feeling like Lucy and want more of Tom right now, then just click over to the Xcite website and download the All Night Long ebook. Containing a total of eight intoxicating tales, it's a steal at only £2.99. Or, if you've got a real thirst on you can always take advantage of Xcite's happy hour and order three Cocktales for the price of two!

Bottoms up!

Stars and stripes

2010-04-27T12:45:00.007+01:00

The first Stateside review of Sweet Love is up on Amazon.com and guess what? It's been awarded five stars! Having had my nose firmly stuck in my own contributor copy I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with that ranking; it's an amazing collection of fantasies. Don't just take my word for it, though. Here's what the Top 100 Reviewer had to say:

"What I really like about "Sweet Love" is that these stories can be tried out. They are sensuous and very sexy about couples who love to make love and live out their fantasies. The writing is excellent and this is not easy stuff to write about. In fact these stories could be recipes for good sex and they literally hide nothing. There is something for everyone in these nineteen stories whether it is just spanking, threesomes or exhibitionism. You can't help enjoy the stories that Violet Blue has brought together."

And the really good thing is, the book is now available on this side of the pond at Amazon.co.uk ahead of its May 20 release date. Love to make love? Give this collection a try and maybe you'll be seeing stars too!

I have an author interview up over at Rude Words, a new blog for readers and writers of erotic fiction. Launched in March, the site is already ripe with author/editor/publisher interviews as well as book reviews. With so many juicy tidbits from the world of erotica on offer all in one place, what are you waiting for?

Make an exhibition of yourself

2010-03-26T19:22:00.000Z

Coco de Mer - purveyors of the very finest lux-smut - have a saucy treat in store for the more daring of their boutique customers. Here's what their website says about Private Poses:

"Behind that little picture frame in Coco de Mer's changing room is a secret peek a boo camera that can spy on you while you undress. By pressing that magic button of consentuality you can send your lover a naughty photo while he/she is performing mundane duties.

This wee free gift shows them all of your hidden talents and how good you look in our underwear with a whip in your hand. It's sure to bring them joy..."

Fancy a flash yourself? Check it out over at Coco Club.

Gone but not forgotten

RIP the great Erotica Cover Watch and their wonderful BICEPS campaign. The battle for equality, so valiantly fought by Mathilde and Kristina, is still a long way from being won, but there's no doubt that their fearless, funny and feisty efforts gained enough ground for support of the war to continue.

And, hoo, their Man Candy Mondays weren't a half bad way to start a week. Thank you, ladies, you (and the boys) will be missed.

Normal service is resumed...

Thank you for your patience.

I moved house back in February. It took one day to shift thirteen years worth of life from one location to another. One day. So how come it's taken till now to get someone to flick a couple of switches to get our basic comms up and running? Un-be-lieveable. I won't bore any of us by sharing my opinions on matters of incompetence, obstructiveness and sheer stupidity here, but it's been a hellish time, let me tell you. I've even had to resort to sending LETTERS. By POST if you can imagine such a thing.

Anyway, after numerous false starts, it looks like I'm now able to begin catching up on lost time and research, so please do keep watching this space as there's plenty more to come.

Free Love

Don't think Valentine's Day should be all about the money? Seems Xcite Books agree, which is why they're offering a hot freebie to help get you in the mood this Sunday. Isn't that nice of them.

You can download the ebook direct from Xcite or from i-Tunes so why not go get yourselves loved up for free!

Sitting at the Top Table

2010-02-05T18:33:00.004Z

I've just had a peek at the Table of Contents for Sweet Love and am squirming with delight to see my little old self seated alongside such dirty greats as Alison Tyler, NT Morley, Janine Ashbless, Thomas Roche, Kristina Wright, DL King and more. What a sweet, sweet feast of the flesh this anthology promises to be. My mouth is watering already.

First Review = Five Stars

2010-01-28T17:55:00.005Z

Sex, Love & Valentines has only gone and got itself the full five star treatment with its first review on Amazon! I'm pleased and proud and - although obviously a bit biased - have to say that it's thoroughly well deserved. Packed with filthy good stories from some of erotica's top writers, it definitely puts the sexy into February 14th.

Calling all Sinners

2010-01-22T18:35:00.006Z

Fancy a night of mystery, seduction, love and excitement in a castle in Cologne? Yes? Well, lucky you, because that's exactly how LittleSins bill their upcoming Eyes Wide Sins masked erotic party.

Tickets are limited (500). Time is short (6th Feb). But at least you won't have to waste it worrying about what to wear: dresscode for the evening is simply a mask, cape and lingerie (and even that becomes pretty much optional after midnight).
Find further info at http://www.littlesins.com/

Oh, and P.S. If you're thinking that the entertainment at these parties features only the usual naked female totty, think again. These guys are also very generous with the manflesh as demonstrated so nicely by Mr tall, dark and dangerous, below, who breathed fire at their recent Christmas bash.

Feeling toasty?

Dirty Minds Think Alike

2010-01-15T13:47:00.005Z

Seems I'm not the only one feeling this new year vibe of pleasure-seeking abandon. The current issue of online magazine F/lthyGorgeousTh/ings is entitled Decadence, and is dedicated to exploring "hedonsitic indulgence, eccentricities, beautiful things" and more.

In her Notes from an Editor, the delightful debauchette says: "This issue is about decadence, and while we could have approached it from the erotic luxury angle, a different sort of decadence came to mind: decadence as a way of life, of living. Decadence as play and adventure. Decadence as exuberance and freedom."

Well, again I say hurrah! That all sounds pretty fine to me. Do go take a look and see whether you think we're not on to something here.

Out with the noughties...

2010-01-13T14:53:00.014Z

In with the naughty. I know it's a couple of weeks late but: Happy New Year! Hope you had a good one and avoided making any resolutions that didn't involve you getting more love/sex/diamond-studded bondage cuffs over the coming twelve months.

My own celebrations were curious, opulent; an imaginarium peopled by dashing gents with capes and canes, and not-so-proper ladies flashing corsets, ruffles, frills and flesh. If the night of cabaret, burlesque, magic and music was any indication of things to come, 2010 promises to be a year (and dare I hope, beginning of a decade) of delightful hedonism and decadence. Hurrah!

Care to indulge with me? Here's a tease from the lovely Fifi Fatale:

Christmas comes but once a year...

and thank God for that.

As an antidote to the over-commercialized chaos, the stress and expense, here's a free gift from those wonderful and generous people at LoveHoney. It's not every day you get something for nothing, so I hope you'll find time to enjoy the read; that old fashioned spirit of giving won't be the only thing to leave you all warm and glowing inside!
