The Uniform Behaviour Line Up is Here!
Hey everyone – here is the moment you've all been waiting for! After much um-ing and ah-ing and reading of smut (it's such a tough job… break out the violins peeps!), I've chosen the stories which will be appearing in Uniform Behaviour.
So here goes:
Fireman's Lift by Rebecca Bond
In Love and War by Lexie Bay
Dirty Deeds by Victoria Blisse
Just Couldn't Wait by Lucy Felthouse
Crest of a Wave by Shermaine Williams
Sin City by Rebecca Bond
The Captain's Persuasion by Delyth Angharad
Guard Mounting by Justine Elyot
Circling by Cassandra Carr
True Confession by Indigo Skye
Weight of Duty by Madeline Elayne
Venus by Hawthorn
On Manoeuvres by Jack Delaney
Strictly No Parking by Elizabeth Coldwell
Taken with Consent by Lexie Bay
Lingua Acutus by Craig J Sorensen
There'll be some names on the list that you recognise, and some you won't. I'm proud to report that there are both established and debut authors appearing in the collection. But rest assured, each and every story has been carefully chosen by myself and they're the most steamy uniform stories you'll ever read!
The final manuscript is currently in the process of being proof-read by a pro (I can't thank you enough, you know who you are), and the cover designer is also hard at work. I had the terrible task of looking through some photographs of men in uniform to see which I liked best. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
So…. watch this space! Things are coming together nicely. I'm mega excited, the authors are mega excited and as soon as I have a final image of the cover I'll share it with you lovely folks!

The Business of Pleasure – Justine Elyot
Being a big fan of Justine's previous book, On Demand (review here), I was very excited to get my hands on her latest release, The Business of Pleasure. This, like the author's previous book, isn't a novel. It's a collection of short stories written to a theme. The stories all fit together like the pieces in a jigsaw, and one of the story lines is continuous. That is, it's about the same person and the stories are in chronological order. They're simply interspersed by tales of other people that inhabit the same world and social circles. I've actually made it sound more complicated than it actually is; rest assured, everything will make sense when you start reading.
The main protagonist in the book is Charlotte. Looking for some spice in her life, she signs up to have her deepest, dirtiest fantasy fulfilled by some shadowy agency which specialises in such things. She gets what she wants, and a whole lot more. Turns out the bosses running the company have an interest in her, over and above taking her money. And this is where the real fun begins. Charlotte winds up working for the guys, helping to make other people's fantasies come true.
However, Charlotte is considered to be so much more than an employee and things quickly become deeper and darker than she ever imagined possible. Is Charlotte in over her head, or can she handle the business of pleasure?
Well, what a fab book! I don't want to give too much away, but I definitely think it works as a collection of stories. I'll be honest, I didn't enjoy The Business of Pleasure quite as much as On Demand, but that's purely because some of the themes included in the book aren't to my tastes. But that's not to say they're not to yours. There's lots of sex (naturally), spanking, bondage, swinging and much more.
The writing is superb; it flows wonderfully, the characters are very alive and the dialogue is sparky. I whizzed through the book in a matter of days, it was that interesting and easy to read.
If BDSM and darker themes are your bag, then you should definitely grab yourself a copy of this book. Immediately.

K D Grace's Book Launch at Sh! Hoxton
Last Friday, I attended the launch of K D Grace's wonderful new novel, The Initiation of Ms Holly, at the Hoxton branch of Sh! Women's Erotic Emporium. It was the first time I'd met K D, though we'd previously done lots of chatting via email and Facebook – and it was lovely to finally meet her face to face!
I also met Kay Jaybee (another fab erotic author) for the first time, and also caught up with Sarah Berry (editor of Foreplay Magazine) and Hazel Cushion (owner of Xcite Books). There was champagne and cupcakes, sex toys galore to set the scene, and of course, K D's wonderful reading…
I don't want to give too much away about the book, but you can see an excerpt over on Erotica For All. I've heard the excerpt read aloud, as well as a couple of other sections of the book, and let me tell you… it's a red-hot read! I'll be reviewing it soon enough, so watch this space if you don't believe me!
So, what with all the networking…
…larking around…
…and erotic fiction… a fabulous evening was had by all!
My congratulations go to K D – and I hope to be able to attend similar cool events in the future!

Calendar Girl – Sommer Marsden
Previous to Calendar Girl, I hadn't read any longer works by Sommer Marsden, so it was new territory. However, literally within one page of starting the book, I was laughing. Not at Sommer, of course, but with her (and no doubt you lot, when you read the book!). Without giving too much away, the protagonist's best friend in the book is a gay guy, and he is a right giggle. His madcap antics had me laughing my ass off on several occasions.
Anyway, the premise of the book is that the main character, Merritt Evans, comes home one day to find her beloved husband in bed with another man. Naturally, she divorces him in the blink of an eye and attempts to get on with her life. This is easier said than done, but with the help of her gay-best-friend Jeffrey, she devises a plan. She is going to be completely "no strings" for a year. To ensure this, she must have a new man for each month, and no longer. No lingering allowed.
Merritt's excited at first at the thought of having a new man every month, just lots of sex, lots of fun and no emotions required. And she's having damn hot sex, let me tell you. However, just a few months down the line, Merritt meets a man that makes her think perhaps she's had enough of the calendar game. But should she stick to her guns and see out the year – and potentially risk losing him? Or should she throw in the towel and see what a new relationship brings? Only one way to find out…
Calendar Girl is an absolutely fabulous book. As I said, it had me laughing on a regular basis, but it also had me feeling frisky, too. It is the perfect mix of engaging storyline, likeable characters, smoking-hot sex and light-hearted fun. I can't recommend this enough.

Totty Tuesday – Matthew Davis
12th October 2010 – Well, the Vampire Diaries series two has just started over here in the UK. I haven't watched the first episode yet (ooh, and the second one starts in less than 20 minutes! RECORD!) as I was re-watching series one. I'm all up to date now and will start on series two very soon. So, in honour of this, and just because it's a good excuse, this week's Totty Tuesday is Matthew Davis. He plays Alaric Saltzman in the show, and he's definitely the hottest history teacher I've ever seen. I certainly don't remember any of my schoolteachers being sexy, let alone my history teachers.
In the show, he's pretty kick ass, and he has a passionate and justified hatred of Damon Salvatore, played by Ian Somerhalder. Rumour has it, though, that in real-life they have this "bro-mance" thing going on. Which just makes him all the more sexy, if you can see where my mucky mind is going with this…
He's been in quite a lot of other stuff, including chick-flick Legally Blonde, which I have seen, but I don't remember him in it. And what better an excuse to dig out a bit of Reese Witherspoon? Now that sounded dirty too, but it wasn't meant to… ahh, take it how you like!
So, anyway, enjoy! Anyone else got the hots for this hunky historian?

Totty Tuesday – Michael Fassbender
5th October 2010 – Here's another slightly obscure Totty Tuesday for you. This is Michael Fassbender (yes, it makes me giggle too). He came onto my radar a few years ago when he starred in the UK supernatural drama, Hex. Sadly, it was dropped after two series', which majorly pissed me off as I absolutely loved it, and it was just getting really good!
In Hex, Michael plays the deliciously naughty Azazeal, a fallen angel. He has rude sex with the leading lady, an impressionable young woman called Cassie Together they spawn a child, who, due to his fallen-angel-parentage, grows to adulthood in a month or something. And well, when he becomes an adult, he's damn gorgeous too. So… the show is about supernatural stuff, features lots of sexy men, and lots of pretty ladies, for those of you that like them. And yet, it got dropped. Why? Who knows. I just know that Mr. Fassbender is damn hot in it. Having looked online, can't say that he's fared so well since… but I'll just remember him like this. It's fine… honestly.

Her Vampire Husband – Michele Hauf
I'd never read anything by Michele Hauf previous to Her Vampire Husband. However, after reading, I'll definitely be looking out for more of her books.
I'll read pretty much anything with a vampire in it, so it wasn't really a hard sell. Her Vampire Husband is the story of vampire tribe leader, Creed, and werewolf princess, Blu. The war between vampires and werewolves is coming to a head and things look to get messy. Therefore, both races have put forward their most prized members and decided t...

Totty Tuesday – Peter Facinelli
I've only seen him as Carlisle Cullen – he's actually blonde in the films, but damn, he's even more hot with dark hair! He's very hot in the Twilight films though, he plays a nice guy vampire, very kindly and softly-spoken. However, I always get the impression (yes, I have a good imagination) ...

Tigerlily – Charlotte Stein
Tigerlily starts with a naked guy. And indeed, what better a way to begin an erotic tale? Naturally, the guy in Mae's back garden is gorgeous. Trouble is, he hasn't merely appeared in the garden. He's running, and he looks as though he's running for his life. Mae goes out to find out what on earth is going on. She's not at all prepared for what happens next.
After further investigation, things don't become clearer for Mae, they become even more confusing. The mystery man doesn't seem to know w...
Sorceress – Saskia Walker
Sorceress is an exotic erotic fantasy romance book. It tells the tale of the Empress Elishiba, a beautiful young woman who has vowed to protect her people, whatever the cost. Rather than risking all-out war with a neighbouring kingdom, which they may well lose due to their smaller size, the Empress decides on another tactic. She'll agree to marry the enemy.
When the convoy from the foreign land arrives to take her back to her future home, a man known as Amshazar arrives as a spokesman for...
