Getting Your Ass Out There For The Sake Of Writing

By Elizabeth Shore

If you’ve never had the opportunity to attend the New Jersey RWAPut Your Heart in a Bookannual conference, you really should think about it. In fact, how about right now. I just returned from attending it this past weekend and I have to say, it’s pretty amazing. Loads of helpful workshops, agent and editor pitch sessions, and best-selling authors giving keynote talks. The editors and agents often stay on long after the official pitch sessions, andchatting them up at the bar...

Dark Desires: A $3,000 Orgasm

By Liz Everly

A few weeks back, when Lady Smut held a pre-launch party for our book THE LADY SMUT BOOK OF DARK DESIRES, sex toys were given out as door prizes. They were from the lingerie store Derriere de soie, where we had the party. (You can check out their line of sleek, ahem, TOYS, from their online store HERE.) Such a fabulous and generous store. In any case, it was an odd sensation to be sitting with a group of women talking sex toys and passing around these rather intimate objects and...

Take Me Away: F Coupes and Fantasies of Abduction

That’s nice, isn’t it? It’ll be his turn soon enough.

By Alexa Day

I love this year’s line of Jaguar commercials. The ones that reassure us that Brits make the best villains. I think they started during this year’s Super Bowl. I remember watching Mark Strong driving that gorgeous F coupe around. Between his sinfully sexy voice and the delicious growl of the engine, I’d have bought whatever the television told me to. It’s probably best that the base model F coupe costs $65,000, or I’d be living...

A Tempting Man

by C. Margery Kempe

This week we’re spotlighting Liz Everly’s latest, Tempting Will McGlashen, out now from Tirgearr. In case you need a reminder, here’s the blurb:

Mathilde Miller wanted to be a good daughter and marry the son of a long-time family friend, Joshua Bowman. But she didn’t want to be the wife of a Pennsylvania farmer. She loved her life, cooking on the Virginia frontier at her family’s ordinary. The minute blacksmith Will McGlashen walks into her kitchen, her restlessness focused...

Rogues, Romps & Revolutionaries!

By Madeline Iva

delectable 18th century fashion

I heart the messy frosted wedding cake fashions of the last quarter of the 18th century. It’s not just period in time, but a spirit of change — the dawn of Romanticism, the era ofenlightenment and chaos combined.

Perfect for kicking off while you’re on a swing.

What a great time – what gloriouspanache the people had. A great big mix of good, bad, saint & sinners, cosmopolitian intellectuals and nature loving stewards of the land. Humanity was just a...

No Sex, Please – I’m Cuddling

Let’s just cuddle

By Elizabeth Shore

Right around this time last year, big brouhaha was afloat in Madison, Wisconsin over the proposed opening of The Snuggle House, a go-to place for reaping the benefits of “touch therapy,” tohelp us feel connected in our disconnected world. So cozy! The very thought makes me feellike the fabric softener bear with the squeaky voice. Except not all Madison councilman were snuggling up to the idea, many expressing concerns that The Snuggle House was a cozy front...

Five Surprising things about the Colonial Backcountry

By Liz Everly

I’m so thankful that my fellow LadySmut bloggers are celebrating the release of TEMPTING WILL McGLASHEN with me this week. Today is release day–YAY!

This book is very specialto me—I wrote it a few summers ago, asking questions of my historian husband and my agent Sharon Bowers along the way. I learned lot during that summerabout history, writing, and the business.Our passion for reading and history is one of the many things that has brought my husband and I together.

One of the int...
