lolcat?

Anyone got a lolcat title for this?

Shortlisted!

Guess what? My 2007 title SUITE SEVENTEEN has been shortlisted in the Passionate Plume Awards, in the contemporary category! The Passionate Plumes are awarded by the Passionate Ink chapter of the Romance Writers of America, for excellence in erotic romance fiction.



Suite Seventeen is already a winner, having won the Year's Best Contemporary Erotic Romance Award at ROMANCE B[U]Y THE BOOK!

Not sure if I can make it a double, because there are some wonderful and very popular books up against me, but just to be nominated is a thrill and an honour! :)

Random Bloke of the Day

The delightful Alvaro Bautista, who won the 250cc Class at today's Moto GP of Portugal in Estoril.

Just look at those lovely smiley eyes!

Look what arrived this morning!

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...

You can find excerpts from my novella - ILL MET BY MOONLIGHT - here and here.

Enjoy!

Pretty in Pink!

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

Here's some stuff about the book

More of that excellent news!

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.

Some excellent news!

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

WILD IN THE COUNTRY my recent release from hot British epublisher Total-E-Bound is soon to go into print!!!

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! ;)

Wahey, a great day out!

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

ps. Madelynne... notice anything? ;)

very scary

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.

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... :(

ps. hottish excerpt of Gemini Heat there too.

Here's my lad...

... 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...

Have a good thought for....

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...

Ahead of time...

Looks like my books are available ahead of time! They're both officially published on Thursday 3rd April...

Gemini Heat is listed to buy from Amazon.co.uk [and to pre-order from Amazon.com].

Gothic Heat is also listed to buy from Amazon.co.uk [and to pre-order from from Amazon.com].
