Sticking My Foot In His Mouth

By Elizabeth Shore

I had a conversation with a friend not too long ago who was talking about his ex. Obviously, since she and he ended up in splitsville I know the relationship ultimately didn’t work out. But in thinking back onthings about her he did like, this friend made it a point to mention her“really pretty feet.”

Interesting, right? I can see a guy who gets worked up over breasts. Or asses. Or legs. But there’s a healthy portion of them out there who also appreciate women’s feet. Some wo...

Game of Thrones HAWTness

By Liz Everly

You know by now that I’m not a regular TV watcher (shh, don’t tell Kiersten, our TV expert at Lady Smut). But this summer I’ve become a bit of a binge TV series watcher. And as I understand it, this is how many people are watching TV these days. I’ve finally gotten into the Game of Thrones, which of course is on a a cable channel I don’t subscribe to, so I am watching the series on DVD from the library. I’ve watched two seasons, so far. (Yes, I use the library; I’m there maybe tw...

It’s My Birthday!

by Kiersten Hallie Krum

Today is my birthday. Commence the celebrations! And there was much rejoicing throughout the land.

Was that too self-aggrandizing? Eh, sue me. I’m a Leo; we live for this center-of-the-universestuff. There’s no humble pie on my birthday, just lots and lots of icing on the cake.

While I’m deliberately losing track of which number margarita I’m up to, you can enjoy a few of my favorite posts from the last few months…possibly even for the first time.

One (Month) Is Never Enough: Read A Romance Month

… And not enough time. (Image by Stewart Butterfield)

By Alexa Day

Read a Romance Month started on Friday, and I’m already kicking myself for joining the fun a few days late. What is wrong with me? Would it really kill me to be on time for something once in my life? Do I get something out of playing catch-up?

I know. If all that self-flagellation worked, I’d stop being late for things, right? Yeah, no such luck.

Worse, I can’t read a romance this month. Not even one. I’m editing my work in progre...

Friday Fun: Girl Groups

You know you want to click me. Just do it. Do it right now.

by C. Margery Kempe

I’ll be honest. I am flat out exhausted. I’ve been running like mad through my year of sabbatical writing like a machine. So here are some fabulous ladies to inspire you to get up and move around. We writers (and readers!) often spend a lot of time sedentary. Dancing is good exercise.

What’s your favourite ‘get moving’ song? Tell us in the comments! It’s Lughnasadh so the Summer dance party commences RIGHT NOW! Tip o...

Size 000? WTF??! Should I Be Pissed – Or Envious?

By Elizabeth Shore

Listen up, Ladies. Just in case you’ve started feeling good about fitting in to a size 6 or 8, retailer J. Crew has come up with the whopperist of all buzz kills. Now available: size triple 0!

My first reaction upon hearing the news that size 000 has been added to J. Crew’s clothing line-up was pure annoyance. I mean, size 000? Really? Issues with women and body image go deep and cut hard, and they start when we’re just impressionable young girls.I cringe when I remember how,...

A Little Spanking with My Room Service, Please: Sex Tourism

If you look up “armchair traveler” in the dictionary, I’m pretty sure you’ll find a picture of me there. I write books set all over the world because I enjoy learning about different cultures and their food ways. One of the reasons I write is to learn. I don’t travel much yet, but one of these days, I will. I’m researching for the day I will be footloose and fancy free, dontchyaknow.

My SAFFRON NIGHTS Series is set all over the world. In CRAVINGS, the second book in the series, Sasha is a worl...
