Love on the Brain

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

I’m watching the telecast of the Academy Awards as I stew over the fact that I have no topic in mind for this week’s post. Despite my well-known love for movies and TV shows, I’m burnt out on awards ceremonies. And yet I can’t help myself from being pulled in every year to the beauty and the glam and puzzling, ever puzzling, at what very unglamorous moments might lurk beneath that shine. Ellen Degeneres just preened about crashing Twitter with the billion retweets of th...

If You Find It, You Will … Arrive: In Support of the G-Spot

The G-spot is a little smaller than this, but don’t worry. You won’t need a map.

By Alexa Day

It’s part of my job as a writer of erotica and erotic romance to keep an eye on all the latest Sex News. (Yes, it is capitalized like that.) I like to know what people are interested in, and what’s new under the sun, and I use the information to make sure my work is as hot as I can realistically make it. And it’s fun.

Last week, I ran across a distressing quote.

Dr. Susan Oakley, an Ohio OBGYN, has been...

Sexy Noir: Extricate

by C. Margery Kempe

We’ve talked about femme fatales before here at Lady Smut (or at least I have). There’s just something sexy about these men and women living on the edge of darkness, desperate and taking as many chances as they think they can get away with.

The ‘femme fatale’ in my alter ego‘s noir novella, Extricate, isn’t your typical vamp, luring men to their deaths, triumphing with a laugh then disappearing in a cloud of cigarette smoke. In fact, Judy is a sub who doesn’t know anything a...

Giving Birth To A Website

By Elizabeth Shore

As anyone who’s selling or marketing or trying to publicizeanything knows, nowadays it’s mandatory to have a website. Without one it’s kind of like you either don’t exist or you’re not legitimate. So, seeing as I really do exist, I decided that I, too, needed a website. To my great fortune, I happen to be friends with an outstanding webmaster, Alla Gringaus, who was willing to climb on board the Elizabeth Shore website express and work with me to put it together. That was a...

Movies, Love, and Eight Lays Around the World

By Liz Everly

Last week, I caught about the second half of “The End of the Affair” with one of my favorite actresses and hunk We were flipping the channels around, and there they were. One of my favorite sexy, sensual scenes in the movie consisted of this very luscious, silky looking blanket or bedspread–you know what they are doing beneath it, but you don’t see them, just waves and ripples of the blanket. It’s a fabulous, sexy, scene. But I digress.

What I really wan...

The Romance of Trains

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

A woman in period dress stands on a train platform. Smoke wreathes around her as the wheezing locomotive pulls into the station. The woman breathes a sigh of relief. This is how she’ll escape. This is the train that will give her freedom. This is the train that will take her on an adventure. This is the train that returns her beloved.

There is deep romance to be found in trains. Trains take you where cars fear to tread, high up into the mountains or winding around rivers...

Life Among the Dead: Is Michonne Ready to Love Again?

If you’re going to make an entrance, make an *entrance.*

By Alexa Day

I started watching The Walking Dead on AMC with the first episode. I didn’t know anything at all about the comics on which the show is based. I think I tuned in expecting to see another show entirely. Now my Sunday nights belong to this story about life in Georgia during the zombie apocalypse, and I recommend it to even the horror-averse.

I first met Michonne when she appeared at the very end of the show’s second season. Becau...
