Bite With Height is a Top Pick!
Well, what fabulous news to wake up to this morning! Night Owl Reviews did a write up of Bite With Height, giving it 4.5 out of 5 stars and awarding it Top Pick status! Needless to say I'm doing a happy dance over here – it's so great to know people are enjoying my story, particularly since a sequel is in the works!
Here's just a snippet of what the reviewer had to say:
"Bite with Height is a sultry short tale with a fresh twist on the now played -out vampire story… Bite with Height is a great story played out in just a short number of pages."

Just Playin' Around
Well, guess what I've been playing around with today? 
Before you laugh at me, these two videos are literally my first attempts at doing something like this – and the software I blagged didn't even come with any instructions so I've just had to work it all out for myself. So, without further ado, here are my two book trailers… (more to come when I've had more practice)
The Great Outdoors Vol 1 & Vol 2
So, what do you think? They don't have music because I haven't been able to get any that I can legally use. So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

Sex Toy Review: ONO Pleasure Cleo Bath Massager
Those lovely folks over at SexToys.co.uk sent me some more goodies to test out. This is the first sex toy I got to grips with: the ONO Pleasure Cleo Bath Massager. The photo illustrates two, showing the colours it's available in, but I got one in pretty pink.
I'll agree, this is an unusual looking toy, but it sure is unique. The idea is that this is a rideable vibrator, which is why the top of it is shaped to fit your lady bits. You can kneel over the toy or use the suction cup to stick it to something (i.e. your bath or shower) so you can try out different angles. Naturally, since it's sold as a 'bath massager' it's waterproof.
It may look like an unusual ornament, but it sure packs a punch. It's lovely and smooth so it doesn't feel uncomfortable against your sensitive parts and has eight different modes. It takes 3 AA batteries, which aren't included (but are mercifully easy to replace). You'll definitely want to stock up on batteries if you buy this toy though, it's such a fun and effective toy that you'll be riding it until the cows come home. Orgasms galore are the order of the day with the ONO Pleasure Cleo Bath Massager.
Check it out at SexToys.co.uk.

eBook Review: Office Hours by Sam Crescent
Article first published as eBook Review: Office Hours by Sam Crescent on Blogcritics.
Office Hours was a much anticipated read for me, as it's set in one of my favourite places, Buxton in Derbyshire. For that reason, I pounced on it when it was released.
I had no idea what to expect, as it's Sam Crescent's first release, but I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. I was enthralled by the characters and storyline from the very beginning and kept flipping those virtual pages, desperate to find out what happened next.
In brief, the story is about Anya King and her boss, Nathan Banks. He's a somewhat arrogant man and Anya is his super-efficient, super-aloof PA. Their relationship has always been completely professional. Anya does her job, does it well and doesn't take any crap from Nathan. He respects her and thinks she's very good at her job. He also fancies her, and she him, but there's never been so much as a hint of this between them before. That is, until now.
The fun begins when Anya discovers that Nathan has booked a team-building weekend for the two of them – without telling her until the last minute. She already had sexy weekend plans and isn't happy about being forced to cancel them, especially when she finds out why. She does as she's ordered, and goes along, but she makes her displeasure very clear.
Soon, though, the frosty atmosphere between them is melted away by their attraction to one another. They gradually get to know more about one another on a personal basis, rather than their usual office professionalism. And the more they discover, the more compatible they appear to be.
Eventually, they give into temptation and have some seriously hot sex. But is it just physical attraction between them – or does their compatibility spell something longer term? Will they risk having their fragile hearts broken again? And what happens at the office? Read the book to have all these questions and many more answered…
I really enjoyed this novella. It was a quick, easy read, but it sure was satisfying. A brilliant debut release and one that I'd recommend if you like a quickie m/f, romantic read.

eBook Review: Holly's Intuition by Saskia Walker
Article first published as eBook Review: Holly's Intuition by Saskia Walker on Blogcritics.
Holly's Intuition is the second book in the Erogenous Zones Series by Saskia Walker. I reviewed the first, Monica's Secret, here.
This book can be read as a standalone, in my opinion, but you'll have more idea of what certain references mean if you've read the first one, so I'd recommend it.
This story tells the tale of Holly. One day, her neighbour, Joshua has an accident and she rushes to his aid. It's not a fatal accident and since it happened, Holly has had some kind of psychic connection with him. Confused and overwhelmed, Holly says nothing to him, but confides in her sisters, both of whom also have psychic abilities.
The worst thing about Holly's connection with Josh is that it only seems to be activated when he's have a rush of emotion; happiness, stress… or arousal. The result is her being able to see everything Josh is getting up to sexually, including having sex with the guy Holly thought was his flatmate. She quickly realises that they're a lot more than just flatmates.
Both guys are incredibly attractive, and Holly can't help but get aroused by the visions that fill her head, to the extent that she's soon wishing she was sandwiched between them, being pleasured by both. It drives her crazy with both lust and confusion about why this has happened to her, and she has no idea what to do about it.
On the other side of the wall, Josh and his boyfriend Stewart have no idea that Holly is inadvertently watching their sex life. They have other things on their mind. Since recovering from the accident, Joshua is now feeling increasing pressure to 'out' himself to his family. A few short months ago Joshua had a girlfriend and no idea he liked men. All that changed when Stewart came along and despite knowing his feelings for Stewart, Josh is still incredibly conflicted and confused about his sexuality.
Stewart, on the other hand is openly bisexual and very happy and comfortable with his sexuality. To further confuse matters, both men are attracted to Holly and after a conversation, the boys decide to invite her over for dinner, completely oblivious to the fact that through her connection to Josh, she knows intimate details of their lives.
Holly accepts the dinner invitation, and immediately regrets it. She finds both men incredibly attractive and has seen them in very compromising positions. Also, the closer physically she is to Josh, the more she can sense his emotions. Holly's playing with fire but can't figure out a way to get out of it without upsetting someone.
The dinner party both complicates things and excites all three of them until they end up falling into a hot threesome. Holly's confused to find that both men want her, as well as one another. What started as a hot threesome quickly scares and confuses Holly – she has no intention of coming between the couple and doesn't want to get hurt herself.
What will she do next? Only one way to find out…
Wow – this is one hot book! Holly's Intuition is the perfect mix of sexiness, character development and plot. I loved all three main characters and enjoyed how the story progressed. Sadly, it had to end, but I'm definitely living in hope that Ms. Walker will revisit these three at some point in the future! A brilliant read and one I'd recommend to erotica fans, particularly if you like m/m/f threesome tales.

It's So Nice to Feel Normal…
…this was one of the comments I made on Saturday evening while sitting in a London branch of Pizza Express. On Saturday, a reading took place in Sh! Hoxton (where I will be reading with Kay Jaybee in a few short weeks). There's always a great time to be had at Sh! but this event was unique because we had a US visitor – Rachel Kramer Bussel. The reading included several of her latest books and the authors appearing in them. I wasn't a reader on this occasion – just an avid listener. However, it was quite the star-studded evening. Readers included:
Rachel Kramer Bussel
K D Grace
Kay Jaybee
Carmel Lockyer
Janine Ashbless
Jacqueline Applebee
Justine Elyot
Rachel did an introduction, then each reader did their piece in turn, with a break in the middle. Rachel concluded with another story and a Q&A – then it was signing time! I'd lugged several books down to London with me and got in the queue, where I also had a nice chat with Rachel. I also got my copies of The Business of Pleasure and On Demand signed by Justine Elyot, who I was delighted to meet for the first (and hopefully not the last!) time.
It was a fab evening and I was happy to also meet Suzanne Portnoy in the flesh, though I didn't get chance to chat to Janine Ashbless, Rubyyy Jones, Scarlett French or Jacqueline Applebee, which was a real shame. There was just so many people around!
After the reading, however, there was more fun to be had. Myself, Victoria Blisse, K D Grace, Miss Rebecca Bond, Parv Roopray (not a writer, but a lovely attendee and fab photographer), Lexie Bay and her lovely hubby, Kay Jaybee and Justine Elyot and her lovely hubby headed off to Pizza Express. Not the most glamorous of locations, I'll admit, but myself and a certain Ms. Bay are fussy eaters!
We piled in and were looked after well by the staff. Drink was drunk, food was munched, and lots of odd conversation took place. This is where the comment about feeling normal came in! After chatting with everyone about various things, both writing related and non – I realised we're a fairly random bunch. What other dinner party would talk about baking, BDSM, hot celebrities (Chris Hemsworth, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, if you're interested), editors, UK/US spelling, geeky films, travel and turtles in one evening!? I've no idea if our fellow diners could hear us, or what they thought – but we were too busy giggling to notice!
Sadly – as with all good things – the evening had to come to an end. We all went our separate ways and I embarked on a hellish bus journey with Miss Bond and Miss Roopray, which I would not like to repeat. However, it wasn't all bad. I got a story idea out of it!
All in all I had an awesome – if tiring – weekend. It was soooo unbelievably cool to spend time with writers that I respect, enjoy reading and can also consider my friends. I feel very lucky to have a bunch of such fun and interesting friends. It's just a shame we can't meet face-to-face more often 
Thanks for a wonderful weekend, everyone. And special thanks go to Miss Rebecca Bond for letting me crash at hers, and The Boy for being so incredibly well trained!

Six Sentence Sunday – 3/7/11
Ok, this really is the last little bit of Bite With Height that I'm sharing on Six Sentence Sunday. I'll move onto something else next time! Again, this follows on directly from last time.
The area was an attraction, a bit of fun. For others, it was much more. Attacks on working girls were not uncommon, or at least, they hadn't been. The crime rates had dropped dramatically since Meg had moved to the area. Nobody, much less the police, knew why. And Meg didn't intend for them to find out.

Another Brilliant Review for The Best Of…
The lovely Mitnik of SexyReads.co.uk has been at it again! He read and reviewed my latest erotica release, The Best of Lucy Felthouse, and I think he liked it! Each tale got varying star ratings, but they were all pretty good so I'm happy with that. The overall score for the anthology was 4 out of 5, which I'm certainly happy with!
Mitnik commented:
"A wonderful collection of very different tales that will warm those spots other anthologies cannot reach. This is definitely one you need in your collection, a real treat not to be missed!"
Check out the full review here.
The book is slowly being rolled out to retailers – it arrived on BookStrand today and I keep checking Amazon Kindle but it's not there yet. Hopefully soon. In the meantime, check here for an up to date list of retailers.
