Gone Fishin'

OK, so I obviously haven't gone fishing. That's not my cup of tea. I have, however, gone on my holiday/research trip to France, where I'll be spending three days in Paris sightseeing and also researching the sequel for my paranormal erotic romance, Bite with Height. I'll be hanging out in graveyards, bookshops, churches, erotic museums and much more. I'll let you decide what's for fun, and what's research. You may well be surprised! All being well, I'll also be meeting the lovely Emma Hillman for lunch – erotic writers lunching in Paris, how very cosmopolitan!

There will be some posts appearing on the site (scheduling technology permitting) while I'm away, and I'll probably send the odd Tweet via text, or if I can find free WiFi (that actually works!). Otherwise, though, I'm out of contact *shock, horror* until the 10th when life returns to normal (until K D Grace and Maxim Jakubowski's book launch at Sh! Hoxton on the 14th October, of course!) and I'll start wading through my emails then.

In the meantime, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Seducing the Myth Gets Reviewed!

Fabulous news – Seducing the Myth got its first review! Night Owl Reviews covered the erotic anthology of myths and legends and gave it a score of 4 out of 5, commenting:

"Overall I have to say I was pretty pleased with this anthology. The stories were on the fairly short side, but were by in large really hot. Not all of them ended happily, some of the authors chose to stick closely to the ending of the original myth or tale (The True Folly of Icarus by Saskia Walker for instance) and there were some surprises (The Lady of the Flowers is based on a Welsh legend) amongst the normally re-imagine Greek/Roman mythology. And happiest of most I found a few new authors to pick up and try!"

Myth Mondays: Behind the Scenes with Mushroom Hunting with Eros by Kay Dee Royal

Please welcome Kay Dee Royal to Myth Mondays for her post on Mushroom Hunting with Eros, which is featured in Seducing the Myth. Take it away, Kay Dee….

*****

Hello Lucy – thank you for allowing me to give a few more details of why I chose Eros and the setting I used for my Seducing the Myth anthology short story, Mushroom Hunting with Eros.

I've always been seduced (love that word) by mythology, legends and urban tales. Guess it's the reason I prefer to write fantasy or paranormal fiction…and I most definitely love to read it. When I saw Lucy's call for submissions, a short erotica story about any myth or legend…well, I dropped my current project to answer her call.

My idea came instantly.

Lucy's request happened in the spring, the time of year for hunting the elusive morel mushroom. It's also one time of the year my husband and I spend together…a whole day driving to and walking through a number of forests.  We've done it for years.

So, my imagination sort of took over and sent me into the woods looking for mushrooms (LOL). My mind went straight to Greek mythology and which God or Goddess would I want to meet in the forest…and why would I want to meet them?

So, my 'why'…a married couple who has a number of years together under their belt, which most times makes for a content, no adventure love life…not a lot of affection or passion (speaking from what I've read, heard from others, and have experienced periodically).

Good – I have a married couple starving for passion (grins), so 'who' could help them get it back?

Cupid, of course! The famous Eros, with his golden bow and arrow of love & passion, and what happens in a real life situation in the middle of the woods with a husband and wife suffering from a passionless marriage?

Well, (big smile) you'll have to pick up a copy of Seducing the Myth to find out, because Stone and Alyssa would keep all their mushroom hotspots to themselves if I gave their secret away.

Happy Reading,

Kay Dee

Note: I'm honored my story has been included with so many talented authors…it's humbling and joyous at the same time.

Six Sentence Sunday – 25/9/11

I'm going for something a little different this week. Here's a snippet from my story Farm Hand, which appears in the anthology The Look of Lust from Xcite Books. More info here.

Also, to comment on this post, it's the link at the top ^^ – not the bottom. Thanks guys!

As Ramona made her way down the gravel track, she spotted some farm buildings. Glancing down at her map, she nodded. Her route would take her right through the farm yard and then the public footpath continued over a stile into the adjacent field.



She just hoped she didn't meet any hostile dogs: or geese. She shuddered. Geese could be vicious creatures.

The Love of the Irish

Yes, I did mean the "love" not the "luck"! Know why? Because I am very excited about my buddy JoAnne Kenrick's upcoming release, Sweet Irish Kiss. She's been teasing about it for ages, and if you watch this video, you'll see why I'm excited:

Cool, huh? This is gonna be a hot read, to be sure! (heh. See what I did there? )

Seducing the Myth Paperback is Rolling Out!

Look what finally arrived at my house this morning! My lovely proof copy of Seducing the Myth! Yes, it's in paperback, yay

All I had to do was check it over and approve it – which I have now done. It's available right now from Createspace direct, and will be rolling out to Amazon.com in a week or so, followed other retailers and distributors, including Amazon.co.uk. The postage costs (not to mention the time it took to arrive) are pretty prohibitive from Createspace if you live outside the US, so I'd say hang fire for a while if you're not in the US and you'd like a copy.

However, US peeps feel free to purchase to your heart's content. Get your print copy of Seducing the Myth here: https://www.createspace.com/3666016

If you'd prefer a digital copy, here's a list of retailers.
