Funny Women are Sexy!
Back in 1994, I had a weekend that seemed to be on a downward spiral. My car died, quietly and suddenly, and I was stranded in the part of Connecticut that people don’t talk about: the Quiet Corner. This was my experience of the state when I moved there from Cambridge: I drove past the campus, looking for the little college town.Must be the other way, I thought after driving a few miles and seeing only cows and pastures. So I turned around.
Nope.
So I was adjusting to country...

SEXSOMNIA!
8% of patients referred to a sleep disorders clinic reported having sleep sex.
I’m so excited about our big news that Lady Smut is getting an anthology published by HarperImpulse! The anthology is tentatively titled LADY SMUT’S BOOK OF DARK DESIRES. The erotic romance stories are in that range of sexy-spooky-paranormal.
So what’s my story about, you ask? Why sexsomnia of course!
Yes, sexsomnia actually exists. Yes, there are known, documented cases of people having sex in their sleep and waking...

My Secrets Are Safe With Me
By We’re all aware of the old adage, “write what you know.” For some writers, that wisdom is like a mantra. John Grisham, attorney, writing legal thrillers. Same with Dr. Robin Cook on the medical front. They have the expertise and credentials to write novels in their chosen fields, and readers trust that the facts relevant to their backgrounds are correct. Those authors are, indeed, writing what they know. But when that logic is shifted to writers of erotic romance, should the...

Every Time Feels Like the First Time
Recently, I finished writing the first book in my Castle Haven Spies series. (Don’t judge; it’s only a working title.) Five years from the moment I joined RWA in 2008 with the set determination to become a published author to the time I sent the completed, polished manuscript out on submission. It was a long, involved con and I made a lot of mistakes in those five years, had a lot of delays, a lot of missed opportunities, a lot of life interfering, a lot of dark, depressed moments, a lot of s...
Don’t Adjust Your Color: A Brief and Incomplete Look at TV’s Interracial Kisses
By Alexa Day
In the United States, February is Black History Month. (The U.S. government is apparently okay with calling it African-American History Month, too.) I took a little detour in anticipation of Valentine’s Day last week, and my homage to May Day earlier this month was more about Alexa Day history. But today, I’m looking at one of my favorite parts of black history: the interracial kiss.
You don’t have to be a geek to know that the credit for television’s first interracial kiss usually...

Him, Her, & That Wild Thing Between Them

Hey Ladies, Gents! Happy Snow Day if you live on the East Coast.
At this snowy fluffy Valentine-y time of the year I’d like to stop and consider one aspect of what a famous romance author calls ‘the holy trinity’ of romance.
You’ve got your hero, your heroine, and then you’ve got that mysterious thing going on between them.
What is it? Unseen but strong. Felt by parties–and even by the people around them at times. You know what I’m talking about, right?...

Are Non-Smoking Bad Boys Still Bad?
Tough, gritty, and deliciously bad, no cigarette needed.
Let’s say someone tells you to picture a bad boy. What comes to mind? For me it’s a mixture of the following: tattooes, silver chains hanging from the pockets (purpose unknown), riders of bad-ass motorcycles, occasional scrapes with the law, listeners of hard rock, swillers of alcohol, kickers of ass. But what about a cigarette hanging from the lip or casually dangling between the fingers? When I was in school bad boys w...
