Weekend Dirty Dozen No. 1 #WD12

I'm delighted to be joining the inaugural Weekend Dirty Dozen, which I found via their Facebook page, here. This week I'm sharing twelve sentences from my latest release, Weekend at Wilderhope Manor, which is a Halloween themed lesbian erotic story. So, without further ado…

The car trundled up the long driveway, the crunching of gravel beneath tyres the only sound as Stephanie and her girlfriend, Jenny, peered out of the windows at their surroundings.



Even at dusk the tree-lined driveway was impressive with perfectly maintained parkland, spanning for acres on either side of it. As Stephanie steered the Fiesta around a bend in the track, they both gasped. Their destination, Wilderhope Manor, had come into view and it was stunning. The Tudor style property was huge, with no less than three frontages visible from where they were. Chimneys with intricately built patterns jutted into the darkening sky, with tangles of ivy climbing parts of the manor, giving the place an appearance that was both beautiful and foreboding.



Presently, the driveway opened out into a gravelled area, which as far as Stephanie could tell, doubled as a car park for the weekend. Stephanie manoeuvred into a spot between two vehicles and killed the engine. As she turned to Jenny, she jumped, startled. Her girlfriend had leaned in close, making a scary face with her hands mimicking claws.



"Are you ready to be scared out of your wits, young lady?" Jenny rasped, wiggling her eyebrows and fingers theatrically.

[image error]Thank you for having us, Lucy. I've brought along my co-author and poet, J. Andrew Lockhart, to share his insights about our sensual paranormal romance, Nopeming Shores.

Tell us more about your release and the idea behind it?

We'd love to! Gabe Holliway is killed serving in Afghanistan and leaves behind his heartbroken wife, Lily. As a ghost, he witnesses the struggles she endures to create a new life for herself. He's filled with so many regrets and so much anger that he can't break his earthly ties and rest in peace. Throughout the story, Gabe uses short, Japanese poems (written by Andrew) to communicate with Lily and help her create a new future. When Lily and Gabe finally come face-to-face, it's a gripping drama that'll take your breath away.

The entire story is very emotional. As one can imagine, having your loved one ripped out of your life suddenly creates a lot of pain and angst. Nopeming Shores explores Lily's grief in a palpable way. Gabe's intense jealousy when Lily begins to move forward is shocking and sad. There's humor, and a happily ever after, too, so don't think you'll be crying through the whole book!

The inspiration for Nopeming Shores was two-fold. My brother-in law served a year in Afghanistan, and I saw first-hand how difficult it was for his wife, family, and friends who were left behind. The ghostly aspects of the story were inspired by my father's death and the fact that his ghost visited me after his suicide. In addition, Andrew suffered a life-threatening stroke 15 years ago and went code blue twice. When we met online last year, all these ideas that had been swirling around in my mind with no real direction came together. Nopeming Shores is unlike any of my other romances. It has no swearing or graphic sex scenes, but we promise your heart will pound and you'll be captivated by every word.

What was it like collaborating with someone on this project?

Andrew Lockhart says, "We didn't actually meet each other until the book was done, but after so many hours on the phone, and pages after pages of emails, I felt like I had known her all of my life. She doesn't tell you this, but the reason I banned her from "x-rated" language was the fact that I'm an elementary music teacher. No, it wouldn't look good at all for my name on something like that. Besides that, I truly think this story stands on its own, not needing that kind of description.

"It was so easy for me to write poetry for this due to what had happened to me 15 years ago. It took many months of rehab to bring me back into the real world. Many, many times I've thought about what would have happened if I wouldn't have made it- what would have happened to my wife and our one year-old son. So, I felt like "being Gabe" was easy.

As far as Margie, she's a wonderful person, but so different than me. I almost bet you that she will change or add to this by the time you see it. That's fine with me, because I'm not doing it. I've said all I want to say. LOL"

Margie *blows Andrew raspberries.* "I fixed your homophone error. I think having clear expectations and roles in this project made it go easily. Andrew is right, I struggled with dialing back my muse, but ultimately, the love scenes are still very erotic, just not in graphic language. I love the story and readers do, too.

I was impressed with how quickly Andrew 'got' the story.His ability to grasp the characters and provide motivation and insights to Gabe and to the secondary character, Shane, were really helpful. His work came in exactly the way it appears in the book. I don't know if other collaborations go this smoothly, but it was really nice.

I mentioned a sequel recently, but I have a few books to write before it could happen. The soonest would be the summer of 2012."

[image error]Blurb:  Nopeming Shores by Margie Church with J. Andrew Lockhart

An IED snuffed out Gabe Holliway's life, but couldn't destroy his love. Using his unique gift, Gabe struggles to help his young wife, Lily, rebuild her shattered future.

But when Gabe's ghost reaches out to her, Lily fears she's lost her last hold on sanity. Can she trust what she discovers and what her heart says? When she sees Gabe face-to-face, can she believe her eyes?

When love transcends death, the answers are found in Nopeming Shores.

EXCERPT: Nopeming Shores, sensual ghost story

"You want to give your two weeks' notice today?"

She brushed away the last stray tear and sniffled. For the first time since she'd gotten the devastating news of Gabe's death, she breathed normally. "I'm giving my two minutes' notice. I'm sorry if it puts you in a bind, but I have to do this for myself."

She stuck out her hand. "Thanks for everything, Arthur. I've enjoyed working with you."

"Sleep on it. If you change your mind, call me. This conversation never happened."

The tenderness in his eyes touched her, but this was goodbye. To ease his concern, she pasted on a warm smile. "Sure, thank you."

Her lunch bag crackled as she fiddled with the paper sack. "Guess you'll have to find somebody else to pick on about eating these."

Arthur smiled. "Yeah, you're one of a kind, Lily. Good luck. Whatever you do. And come back and visit sometime, when you're feeling up to it. We'd love to see you anytime."

She nodded, and walked out of the room.

Jana stood near the shelves of breakfast items, her gaze fixed on Lily.

"I'm sorry I lost my temper in the parking lot, Jana. It's been a rough few months."

Jana nodded. "It's okay. I wish I could do something to help, but I always keep steppin' in it."

She pointed to Lily's lunch bag. "Want to eat together today?"

"I'm leaving."

"Okay, well, we can do it tomorrow."

Nervous anxiety made Lily's mouth dry as a wool sock. "I'm not just leaving for the day. I quit. Right now. I'm leaving for good."

Jana's eyes widened. "Really?"

Lily felt her shoulders slump in resigned defeat. She nodded.

A quivering frown tugged on the corners of Jana's lips. "I hope this is a good change for you, Lily. And I hope we'll still be friends. I didn't mean to interfere or hurt your feelings."

Emotion clogged Lily's throat. "I know you meant well. I have to work through this myself. Somehow, I have to accept . . . what happened. My life is different. Give me a few days, and I'll call you. I promise."

Jana hugged her and then patted her on the back.

"You take care now." Sadness cloaked her voice. "I'm here if you need me. Don't forget that."

"Thanks."

* * * * *

In his spirit state, Gabe heard and watched the entire scene between his wife and Jana. He stood behind Lily while she said goodbye to Jana. He walked out of the building with Lily to the car. The wind caught a wisp of her hair, and he wished he could tuck it behind her ear. He used to love stroking Lily's soft, wavy tresses.

Not yet. She wasn't ready to know he was close by, trying to help her cope. Hell, he was trying to cope, too. God had given Gabe a chance to help Lily, and himself, but it was all in the timing. Gabe wouldn't get long. The Shepherd of Souls had been very clear about that.

Lily drove out of the parking lot, but instead of taking her usual direct route to the base exits, she drove through the grounds.

In his spirit form, Gabe followed her.

She slowed down near one of the park benches.

We met there. Gabe recalled seeing Lily with her brown-bag lunch when he'd gone jogging on the historic base. She'd caught his eye immediately. Her long, graceful limbs and full lips captivated him. When she smiled, the sun seemed to dim. Her charming demeanor wiped out all his defenses.

She'd shaded her eyes to speak to him. "I've never seen you before."

"I was in Seattle for some training, but I'm stationed here. Are you visiting your husband?"

She'd giggled this wonderful, heart-warming sound, and her face turned the loveliest shade of pink. Gabe knew in that moment, he was pretty much a goner.

"No, I'm not married. I started working at the commissary last week."

"Well, if you have lunch in the park, I'll be seeing you. I jog through here almost every day."

Gabe didn't usually take that route, but he was darn glad he had that day, and every day after. Lily had waited for him, sometimes bringing along an extra bottle of water or a piece of fruit for him. They'd talk for a little while, then he'd finish his run, although his mind was never on physical fitness after he saw Lilianna Carston.

Now Gabe sat on that same bench, remembering the delight in her eyes when he'd asked her to dinner the first time. They'd been almost inseparable after that date. They thought they'd have a lifetime together.

He turned toward her car and saw the strain on her face.

He watched her shoulders rise and fall in a deep sigh before she drove away from the curb.

Gabe didn't get off the bench and follow her. Being dead wasn't exactly halos and fluffy clouds for him.

Double the Erotica Goodness!

This weekend, I was honoured to attend a double book launch at Sh! Hoxton. Two fabulous erotic writers, K D Grace and Maxim Jakubowski just released novels with Xcite Books, so they teamed up to spring their sexy books on the unsuspecting audience.

[image error]There was lots going on, including giveaways and lots of naughty fun. Sadly, I missed a great deal of said fun due to a horrendous accident on the M1 motorway, which meant that while everyone was in the pub across the road from Sh! catching up and chatting, me and my other half were stuck in terrible traffic. These things happen, unfortunately, but I was so annoyed to be missing all the fun – plus I hate being late for things! When we eventually arrived I was all of a fluster and had to ring the bell to be let into Sh! – where the lovely Renee was all smiles and hugs. Thankfully nobody minded our tardiness as they knew it was out of our hands.

The bits I did get to hear were excellent, though. Maxim was reading snippets from his new book, Ekaterina and the Night. He's also currently on a virtual blog tour with said book, and there are some copies up for grabs. Go here to find out how to get your chance to win!

[image error]K D Grace regaled us with sections from The Pet Shop. I also happened to notice she was wearing animal print shoes, and later asked if it was intentional. She assured me it was, and also added that they were biting her feet! Annoying, but somehow appropriate, she said.

As usual, the lovely Sh! Ladiez kept us well topped up with sparkly stuff (which was immediately thrust at myself and the other half on our arrival. The girlz obviously knew how frustrated we were to be late!) and cupcakes. Also doing the rounds were some yummy sweets made by my lovely other half, who, well used to the hue of Sh!, made them in a lovely shade of pink. Luckily I grabbed one before the plate was distributed as it was empty when it came back. I have it on good authority that the sweets were incredibly well received! Only the best for K D Grace and Maxim Jakubowski!

I did manage to squeeze some chatting with people into the interval, thankfully. Then, after the proceedings were brought to a close, myself, my other half, K D Grace, her other half (who was celebrating his birthday, and got an impromptu 'happy birthday' sung at him by Sh!'s till), Kay Jaybee, Rebecca Bond, Lexie Bay and her other half, and another friend of K D Grace's, whose name I don't recall, retreated to the nearby Pizza Express. While there I managed a good catch up with Lexie Bay and her man, but unfortunately was shoved at the other end of the table from the others, so still felt cheated out of my chat!

Ah well… it was a fab night overall. And we're all attending Erotica together – watch out London!

eBook Review: Give Me by LK Rigel

Lilith Evergreen is an American woman living a perfectly ordinary, happy life. That is, until her fiancé returns from a business trip in London with a ring he bought from a street vendor. When Lilith puts it on she starts to have very strange dreams – of trees, castles, and a handsome prince. Her dreams are like fairy tales. Then, after a shocking revelation at home, she decides to follow her heart and book the trip of a lifetime, to England.

When Lilith arrives in England, she quickly realises things aren't quite what they seem. The people are nice enough, but there's much more going on than meets the eye. And, despite her best efforts, she becomes entangled in the madness; involving an ancient spell, parted lovers and questions about her own heritage.

Give Me is a fascinating read. I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I first started reading, but I quickly got the hang of the blend of contemporary and magical. Despite its length, it's not the sort of story you can whizz through, as there are lots of characters and events taking place to keep track of, but don't let that put you off. This is a seriously imaginative book, both exciting and absorbing. It's a modern fairy tale that I'd recommend to those that enjoy them.

Lucy, thanks so much for hosting Give Me, A Fairy Tale for its blog tour kickoff day. Piccadilly Woo is a story from the world of Give Me about the time Beverly ran away to London before she became Countess Dumnos. I'll be sharing scenes from the story over the course of the tour, beginning here.

***

Piccadilly Woo – scene 1

"It doesn't matter." Beverly Bratton leaned forward from the back of the black London cab. She wanted to go to Piccadilly Circus, but pedestrians jammed Regent Street and made it impossible for the taxi to go forward.

She needed to move her body. This morning at Tintagos Halt she'd caught the train as the sun was coming up, and after so many stops and delays she'd reached London at three o'clock. It felt like she'd been sitting her whole life.

Pretty ironic. The truth was she was running. Running away from Lord Dumnos. She shuddered, remembering his marriage proposal. Was it only yesterday? I don't pretend to love you, and I don't ask you to pretend to love me. How convenient!

Which was exactly what he was proposing, a marriage of convenience. The old man needed an heir. How Georgette Heyer of him!

"Just let me out here."

On the street she shifted the weight of her suitcase and stepped on the foot of a giant rabbit. He squeaked and said, "A treat for the sweet!" and handed her something from the wicker basket on his arm. The injured rabbit skipped away as well as he could.

As Beverly stuffed the delicious chocolate brownie into her mouth, a rather grownup-looking Alice came through the crowd crying, "Has anyone seen a white rabbit?"

London was wonderful! Beverly had forgotten today was Halloween.

Piccadilly Circus was even more crowded than Regent Street and lined with street vendors peddling used records, handmade clothes and jewelry, candles, and antiques. At one stall, she spotted a huge bag, a patchwork of silk, satin, and wool lined with cotton. Its greatest attraction was a wide cloth strap.

As she transferred her belongings to the bag, the vendor eyed her suitcase. "What are you going to do with this?" She was so tiny, when she stood the case on end it reached her hip.

"Good point," Beverly said. "I don't want to carry it around until I go back to Tintagos."

At the mention of the village, the vendor's eyes lit up. "A Dumnos girl, huh. Come to see the big city? How about we trade for something?"

"Your necklace?" Beverly immediately regretted the offer as the vendor's eyes widened and her hand shot protectively to her throat. As she fingered the choker woven of brown cord, the green of her irises seemed to deepen.

"Not for sale or trade, love." A smile, faintly wicked, curled the vendor's lips. "But you need a Halloween costume. I've got just the thing." She said her name was Cissa and that she was from Dumnos too. She dressed Beverly in white patent leather boots, fishnet stockings and a plaid miniskirt, and a fringed leather jacket.

"Take this, love." Cissa handed Beverly a lipstick, so pale pink it looked white. "It's the piece of resistance." She laughed at her own joke and held up a mirror.

"Is that a magic mirror?" Beverly said. "I look gorgeous." Cissa had loaded her up with eyeliner and mascara. With her straight black hair and thick bangs, Beverly was the image of a '60s go-go girl.

"It's not the mirror." A man on the street stepped behind Cissa's table and handed her a small paper sack. "I brought you one of the sticky buns you like. Who's your friend?"

"Beverly, meet my brother, Dan." Cissa said through a mouthful of sticky bun. "Watch out. He's a handful."

Dan was over a foot taller than Cissa, lean but muscular. He had ginger hair, and his green eyes were like hers but strangely brilliant, like jewels in the sun. His gaze traveled over Beverly, and the corners of his eyes crinkled when he reached the fishnet stockings. His hand moved to the Nikon camera that dangled from his neck. He wore a cord necklace like his sister's.

Beverly's body seemed to have a mind of its own. If spontaneous combustion were real, she'd burst into flame right there.

Lilith Evergreen lives in the California desert, an ordinary woman until her fiancé returns from London with a ring he bought from a street vendor. When Lilith puts it on she dreams of a green land that's anything but desert, a tree at cliff's edge, a ruined castle, and a handsome prince.

Then she discovers that it's all real.

When Lilith visits the ruins of Tintagos Castle, she discovers a world of magic and love – and its dark side when she's entangled in the remnants of an ancient spell gone bad. From the moment Lilith sees Cade Bausiney, she's overwhelmed with desire for him. Cade is drawn to Lilith too – but their feelings might only be sparked by dark and dangerous magic.

Lilith and Cade must break the old spell or be forever possessed by spirits who've waited a millennium to consummate their love.

Excerpt from The House on Hundred Hill:

He hadn't wanted them to go, yet he most definitely had not wanted them to stay. His restlessness was evident, even to them, the friends he had chosen because of the dark obscurity he sensed within their souls. Of all humankind, their indifference angered him the least and provided him with something that passed for company. Whether or not they realised they had a choice, they indeed chose to harness their own internal darkness and were not afraid to step into the shadows of the night to satiate their hunger. They were brought together by the most powerful common denominator known to humankind.

Soon his solitude would be just a distant fading memory. That is, if his brother didn't fail him.

Draven rested a strong smooth hand on the bonnet on of his Jaguar. "Sorry old girl," he muttered as he patted the cool green metal of a car that he had loved for the last thirty years. To love something of manmade elements almost brought him comfort and reminded him of his own sense of fleeting humanity. The perfectly polished bonnet seemed to weep under his touch, and he was sure it knew it was soon to be replaced. His sights were set on a new prize; a great indulgence that he begun to think was impossible to capture. It was so close he could taste it, but it wasn't ready yet.

She needed to be polished.

Draven escaped to his memories as they flooded back to his early childhood when he had stood as a small boy, in this very spot, looking up at the old house and wondering what treasures where hidden within the large dusty rooms. The excitement he had felt all those years ago came rushing back like a raging river and wholly consumed him. He could smell it in the air, the scent of passing years and human failure.

To an energetic ten year old, even a half-breed like himself, the house was full of undiscovered mystery, much like the moon above him now. It had been sleeping for twenty years before they had moved there, gracefully resting atop the Hundred Hill, in the very depths of the English countryside, just waiting for the perfect family to swing open the wooden framed windows, pull up the blinds and allow the rays of warmth to gently caress it back to life.

But they were far from the perfect family.

The House on Hundred Hill: The Nephilim Book One – Blurb

Happy Release Day To Me!

Halloween is approaching, and you know what that means? Well, sweets, of course… but even better than that, hot f/f erotica! Summerhouse Publishing asked for Sapphic Halloween themed tales and it sounded like good fun, so I wrote them a naughty tale and the rest is history.

Weekend at Wilderhope Manor is available now! A spooky, sexy tale set in a British manor house, it has plenty of bumps and humps to keep the hairs standing up on the back of your neck (I got chills writing it!) and also get you hot under the collar!

Here's the blurb:

When Stephanie and Jenny go to a Murder Mystery Halloween weekend at Wilderhope Manor, they're expecting fun and games. But following creaky floorboards, spooky noises and an alarming encounter in the Manor's grounds, the girls begin to wonder if there's more to Wilderhope Manor than meets the eye. As they find frequent comfort in one another's arms – and their bed – will the girls discover what's causing the bumps in the night, or will they run scared?

Sound good? Check out the book page for an excerpt and some buy links, and an early review from the super Erotic Whispers, who gave it 5 out of 5! Also, this weekend only, you can enter this competition to win a copy! So, what are you waiting for?

Hot Reviews and Interviews

This morning brought some yummy goodness into my inbox – two reviews and an interview!

Firstly, the fab Kay Jaybee has been busy – she reviewed Seducing the Myth for the excellent Oysters & Chocolate website, then also interviewed me to find out more about the anthology and my work in general.

Here's a snippet from the review:

"…hot with a bit of extra sexy thrown in for good measure. From straight romance, to bi-sexual fun, with the occasional helping of girl on girl action, and a quick gorgeously gay threesome, there is something for every connoisseur of erotica in Lucy Felthouse's latest offering to the world of smut—bring on the next!"

You can read the entire review here. And also check out the interview on Kay's website.

Secondly, Romance Novel Junkies read and reviewed A Bit of Rough. I wouldn't say it's a romance, per se, but the reviewer certainly seemed to enjoy it!

Here's a snippet of the review:

"Fans of real erotica, will appreciate this quickie novella that packs a whole lot of heat. It was definitely a good form of erotica. It's a romance book, but if you are looking for a sweet romance, this is not for you. My only disappoint, is that I was enjoying the book and didn't want it to end so soon. I would have really loved to read more about Alison and Andrew; their chemistry was that amazing to me in this novella. I look forward to more books by the author." 4 out of 5

I'm going to wish you a good weekend now – I'm only working tomorrow morning, because then I'm off to good old London town to do some partying – it's the joint K D Grace and Maxim Jakubowski book launch at Sh! Hoxton! K D's launching The Pet Shop, and Maxim is launching Ekaterina and the Night. It promises to be a very good evening, and I can't wait. It also means a weekend spent exploring London's streets – good job my legs and feet have recovered from Paris!
