Not Mulder, obviously. She's been here 11 years now... But copies of the Black Lace paranormal erotic romance anthology MAGIC AND DESIRE - featuring yours truly along with top authors Janine Ashbless and Olivia Knight.
Doesn't it look gorgeous? Not pink, but still a very pretty colour...
The BOUND BRITS anthology, containing my story The Retreat, is also going to be published in the first round of print releases by Total-E-Bound!
So that's two lovely new print titles that I wasn't expecting. Isn't that fab? Especially for reader buddies of mine who still prefer a good, traditional printed book over an ebook.
No details yet of the actual release date... but I'll post it here as soon as I know it.
Wild in the Country was originally published in print in a slightly different version several years ago, but the publisher at the time never did any marketing or promotion for the line, so it pretty much disappeared without a trace on that first publication. Which was a shame, because even though it's not a giant classic of erotic literature, it's a really fun book with lots of rampant bonking and all round kinkery. A light hearted read to cheer you up and make you laugh at its absurdity as much as it turns you on.
Consequently, I'm really glad it's coming back into print again, especially as I know that there are lots of PDC readers out there who tend to prefer an actual book in their hands rather than reading an ebook.
I don't have any details about release date, or price, or where you can buy it yet, but rest assured, as soon as I know, so will you! So watch this space! :)
And a ps. to my fellow Vincent D'Onofrio fans....
Although Wild in the Country was written long before I turned on to our darling Vincenzo, I discovered when I was editing it again that I kept seeing the hero, Drew, as our guy. He's a tall, dark, strapping, gorgeously handsome artist with a wickedly naughty sexual imagination... nuff said! ;)
Had an absolutely fantastic day out yesterday with my wonderful writing buddy, Saskia Walker! Instead of our usual trip to big town, we met in even bigger town/city and after a jolly, giggly lunch, we toured the big bookshops to look for our books on the shelves. Here in Waterstones, we found masses! So he's me, looking rather pleased with myself, along with some of my literary oeuvres.
Luckily, the staff didn't come and chase us away for rearranging the shelves and frightening the punters away! LOL
The trouble is, I burbled something about 'what would I be doing in another 14 years' and now I've scared myself sh*tless because it's dawned on my how very, very old I'll be in 14 years time.
Of course there's nothing I can do about that, but still, it's frightening... :(
... home and safe and contented. Kuffer's dental surgery went smoothly and he's recovering beautifully, back to his normal self already and eating well. I'm hoping he'll put on weight now that he has a nice, if virtually toothless mouth. He's already fully mastered the art of 'gumming' up his Whiskas pouches, tuna, ham etc...
KUFFER today... He's in the veterinary hospital, having dental treatment. It's routine stuff, although he'll probably have to have some teeth out, but he's 16 years old, and at that age, anaesthetics are a risk. Plus he has a thyroid condition. I shall be on tenterhooks until I hear from them that he's awake again. :(
Oh, and we've got a mouse in the house again too. Sigh...
UPDATE ON KUFFER
He's fine! Awake from the op and doing well. He doesn't have many teeth left, just a couple of canines, but both Alice and Mulder had to have their back teeth out some years ago, and they both eat like gannets!
No further news on the mouse. Still there, I suppose...
I finished my first school reunion story on Saturday evening, in first draft, but I haven't really done any new writing since. Correction, I haven't done any writing since, why avoid the issue!
I'm sort of in a bit of a multiple holding pattern at the moment, waiting to hear about various things, and I'm not sure what to do next. Editing the reunion story would be obvious, but I like to leave things to set for a little while before I tackle editing. In the meantime, I've not been totally idle on the writing front. Instead of actually laying down words, I've been researching and reading topics up online, for a book idea that's 'out there'...
Now I've no clue as to whether this idea/proposal will come to anything, or any special hint or sign that there's any hope... but it's a story line that needs more background development than my usual boy meets girl, boy shags girl, boy and girl skip off into the sunset tales. So, I thought I would look up a few things in sheer blind hope that I'll need them...
Other than that, I'm having a pleasant but very lazy Easter Holiday... and I hope you all are too.
ps. I indulged myself this morning at Amazon, with a Black Books Complete Box Set. Oh, so funny... And in honour of that, here's another look at a YouTube I've posted before, but which is one of the most hilarious and ironically true to life writing vids I've ever had the pleasure to view.

Yes, it's the cover I've been waiting for... and isn't it nice? I love pink!

I got home from my jaunt out on Friday to some really exciting news!

Am posting at LUSTBITES again today... on Ancient and Modern, a reflection on the fact that I've been writing for Black Lace for fourteen years.
