Five Things I’m Obsessing over:

By Liz Everly

Here’s some of the things keeping my monkey-mind occupied these days.

Darynda Jones’s series. I had heard about this series awhile ago and recently read the first book, “First Grave from the Right,” and LOVED it. It’s definitely a genre-bending series, which I like a lot. The main character is a grim reaper and a private investigator. The dead come to her to “cross over,” but sometimes she needs to figure our who killed them before they can cross. What I liked about the first book...

Sexy Is As Sexy Does

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

Now that’s sexy

I’ve been reading through my manuscript in preparation for a new set of requested submissions. A couple of recent rejections have had me spinning with doubt, which happens but it’s still a smack up the head. It’s been a few months since I’ve read through the book and, as usual, fresh eyes have caught typos and bad phrasing that make me cringe. But time away from the novel has also given me a fresh perspective on scenes that aren’t quite gelling, namely an...

Judging Him By His Hardcovers: Men, Books And Sex Appeal

Shouldn’t bedtime reading put Don at ease?

By Alexa Day

Today is Father’s Day here in the U.S., and if I were more of a family girl, I’d probably put a salute to fatherhood here. Blame my faulty biological clock, which has been flashing 12:00 since … well, forever. I just don’t think parenthood is sexy, and I am bound and determined to bring you something sexy today.

I’ll tell you what is sexy, though. A man’s library is sexy.

I love the big libraries because they suggest some sort of literary gl...

Gadget Friendly but Techno Impaired

by Kiersten Hallie Krum Here at Lady Smut, we’ve been covering the virtual Romance Festival all weekend, posting recaps and schedule updates and weighing in on the highlights as we go along. It was a fast and furious weekend to be sure, but for my part it began with a lot of whinging over just how the hell this virtual festival stuff happens.

um…no

I’m a total gadget girl. Love me a good gadget with bells and whistles and things that go “bing!” And yet, I’m not a huge techno-nerd. I don’t have...

Cindy Gallop Rocks My World at Romance Festival ’14

By Alexa Day

Cindy Gallop is my hero. If you’ve been hanging out with me for a while, you’ve heard me talking about her before. Yesterday, I got to listen to her for an hour at the HarperImpulse Romance Festival, at an electrifying Google Hangout. There’s so much to love about Cindy: she opens the conversation by talking about the younger men she dates, she’s on a mission to put porn and sex into perspective for everyone’s benefit, and she is a strong, confident, savvy, successful businesswoma...
