Gotta Have It – Rachel Kramer Bussell (ed.)
Rachel Kramer Bussel is a legend in the erotica world, so I'm always happy to read and review books she's either written or edited. Gotta Have It is no exception. It's packed with 69 (yes, that's right) smutty stories which are shorter than short – I believe the brief was less than 1,200 words.
When I saw the list of authors involved, I was even more eager to get my grubby hands on a copy. I have to say, I was definitely not disappointed. Of course I had stories that I liked better than others, but there certainly weren't any tales I didn't like. Each one is short and to the point – perfect for snatching a five minute break during the day, or as a relaxer (or arouser) when you collapse into bed at night.
What I liked best was the variety of stories. What they all had in common was brevity and eroticism, but that's where it ended. Some stories were about couples; some about strangers. There were stories indoors, outdoors, on the floor, in the kitchen, on a plane, in a changing room… you get the idea.
Overall, this is a very hot, very high quality read with a great mix of new and established authors. Whether you're looking to dip your toe into the short story pool or you've been immersed many times – you should definitely add Gotta Have It to your TBR list!

Call for Submissions: Mythology Anthology
Call for Submissions
Untitled Anthology
Mythology theme
Editor: Lucy Felthouse
Publisher: Um… me!
Deadline: 30th April 2011
Payment: To be determined – details below
Having thoroughly enjoyed the process of editing my first anthology, Uniform Behaviour, I thought it'd be fun to do another one. This time, however, I put the theme of the anthology out to vote and mythology won! So I kept my word and this is the theme for the as yet untitled eBook. Details are as follows:
I'm looking for stories involving mythology. I want myths and legends from all over the world, and from different periods of time. You can set the stories in the past or the present. That's pretty much it! Just send me erotic stories from the depths of your imagination.
Please stick to the usual rules, i.e. no underage sex, no non-consensual scenes, incest and other yucky stuff. No poetry, please. Normally I'd also mention bestiality here, but given the theme of the anthology I suspect there are going to be creatures of some kind involved!
I will select 25 stories for this anthology and then split the proceeds equally, dependent on what I receive from each outlet after they take their cut. I'll be submitting to the usual retailers; Amazon, iBooks, Smashwords, etc. I look forward to reading your stories!
How to submit: Send double-spaced Arial/Calibri 12 point black font Word or RTF document. Your story should be 1,500 – 4,000 words. Please indent the first line of each paragraph half an inch. Please include your word count, real name, pen name (if applicable), and 50 word or less bio in third person. I'll also require the email address you use for your PayPal account, as this is how I will be paying you when I have myself received funds. You can submit as many stories as you like – within reason!
Please send your completed story to lucy (at) lucyfelthouse (dot) co (dot) uk. In the subject line, please write Submission for Mythology Anthology. I look forward to reading your stories! Closing date is 30th April. Providing I'm not totally swamped with stories, I'll do my best to come back to you by the end of May. Any questions should also be directed to this email address.
ALSO: Please spread the word! Feel free to post this call on your own blogs/sites, Tweet about it, Facebook it, anything! The more the merrier!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I haven't got anything sappy to say, but regardless of whether you're loved-up or single, you should totally check out Rebecca Bond's awesome Valentine's Day story on Erotica For All. It is HOT.
OH and I actually did our Valentine's Day gift-and-card-exchanging thing over the weekend as we only see each other weekends. We only buy little gifts – and mine was a CozyRug thing, y'know the blanket-type things with sleeves? Well, the timing was brilliant because it's cold here today, so I'm wearing it! Win!
Anyway, in totally non-Valentine related news, I have good news! I am proud to say I can add another publisher to my list of credits. The lovely people at Noble Romance will be publishing my story, Bite with Height, probably sometime in April. It's a tale inspired by my visit to Paris, last September. I fell head over heels in love with the Sacre-Coeur and knew it would probably find its way into a story at some point. When I was larking about on the roof of the building with the OH I did think it would be a pretty cool place for a vampire to hang out. And so the story was born.
I don't want to give too much away, but it's a tale about a female vampire that lives in Paris. Meg has a very interesting way of occupying her time, but she's lonely. One evening, she bumps into Grace and suddenly, Meg wonders if things are about to change…
I've also had a story accepted into Xcite Books' upcoming anthology, Best of Both, so that's another one to look out for! I'll keep you posted! 
For those of you spending time with your OHs today, enjoy. Single people – play online and eat chocolate. That's what I'll be doing! And working, of course

Six Sentence Sunday – 13/2/11
Here's a snippet from my story Beach Babe which features in Red Hot Reads 2!
Slipping her own hand down, Megan pressed it against her lover's crotch, pleased to note a sizable erection. She'd never been with a black guy before and she wondered about his cock. What would it look like? Would it be as big as all the rumours suggested? As it twitched against her palm, Megan was suddenly desperate to feel it thrusting inside her wet pussy and immensely grateful that she'd stowed a box of condoms in her beach bag. Well, a girl can never be too careful, can she?

Totty Tuesday – Torrance Coombs
On starting to watch the final series of The Tudors, I was delighted to spot some new totty! Yes, the lovely Torrance Coombs (just look at those eyes!) caught my attention. He plays one of the King's servants, Culpepper. I don't want to give anything away about his involvement in the show because I know US peeps are still on a much earlier series – but let's just say you have this yummy young man to look forward to!
Apparently he appeared in an episode of Supernatural. I don't remember him, but it's a very good excuse to go back and watch it, and I'm always grateful for excuses to watch Supernatural! In case you're wondering, he played Mitch in series two, episode eighteen.
Torrance also has some interesting looking projects coming up, so hopefully we'll be seeing more of him!

Six Sentence Sunday – 6/2/11
Here's a snippet from my story In Pursuit of Anna which features in The Great Outdoors Vol 2, just released!
"Fucking hell, Anna," Greg said, hand on his crotch, rearranging what was no doubt an increasingly uncomfortable situation in his underwear. "Look what you've done to me."
He took her hand and pressed it against the bulge in his jeans. Anna could feel the heat even through the coarse denim. Her pussy seeped juices onto her thighs as she remembered how he'd felt inside her.
Anna started to undo Greg's jeans.

Buy Something a Little Different for your Sweetie this Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day can be much more exciting than hearts, flowers and chocolates if you want it to be. I've compiled a short list of gift ideas for him and for her to ensure the day goes with a bang:
For Him or Her
Amazon Kindle
If your beloved enjoys reading, then the Kindle is an awesome gift. If they like reading erotica – even better! Because nobody knows what you're reading you can sit on the train, bus or in a cafe reading a smutty book and nobody will be any the wiser. Books are available from Amazon, naturally, but you can also load PDFs and Word docs onto the device, so you're not locked into purchasing your books from Amazon.
Not cheap – but if it means you can carry hundreds of books around at any one time, in a device slimmer than your average paperback, then it's worth every penny.
Buy from:
Amazon.co.uk
Amazon.com
For Him
Lelo Bo Cock Ring
OK, so this will benefit you just as much as him – but it's a gift with a difference! Again, not light on the pocket but this heavy duty, excellent quality, rechargeable cock ring will last you for years. Lelo always create fab products, and this is one of them. Having used one myself I can vouch for this super powerful vibrating sex toy.
Monkey Spanker
Monkey Spankers are really good fun and feel better than both hand & blow jobs, are easy to use and can produce an intense and extremely satisfying orgasm in no time. Your guy can use alone or you can use it on him. A good quality, versatile and well priced toy.
Ultimate Curves Erotic Book
Ultimate Curves contains 20 erotic stories based around full figured, sexy women. Delve between the pages to find out what gets these women hot…

An Unexpected Evening – Roxanne Rhoads
Having loved previous work by Ms Rhoads, I was excited to read this short story involving vampires and witches. I certainly wasn't disappointed…
Witch Katerina loves her vampire boyfriend, Samuel. But sometimes she just wishes he could be less restrained around her – just let go and show his real self. Trouble is, Samuel is plagued by his violent past and is reluctant to let go in case he ends up hurting Katerina.
One evening, though, Katerina's begging finally breaks through Samuel's tough exterior and he gives her what she really wants.
This is a really sexy tale. Despite its brevity, the tale gives you some information on the characters and their backstory. But what's really important is their present. And it couldn't get any hotter. The sex scene is hot to begin with… and just gets hotter! I would definitely like to read more about these characters – more please!
