Tell Me What You're Up To, Lilith Lo!
It's "Tell Me What You're Up To Tuesday." Sorry I missed last week, by the way. I was out of town and thought I'd post when I got home at 4 in the afternoon. Walked through my door, cleaned out the litter boxes, crashed on the couch. That was it. I was out for the night.
Anyhoo, today's guest is Lilith Lo!
Giselle: Tell Me What You're Up To, Lilith Lo!
Lilith Lo: Morning Giselle :) I can feel the heat from Canada all the way down here! Fabulous work.
On the stove - is a mess I need to clean up from when I made coffee this morning and spilled the sugar. :)
On the books - I'm writing two series. One has become known as Thor Porn. The official series title is Gods of Lust. Book 1, Rapture, will be released in late March. I grew a bit weary of Thor being delivered sans erotica time and again.
The second series is Vespa's Sapiens. Book 1 is available now. A sci-fi series that puts the Sexy in World Domination.
On the Roundabout - I have a list of things to do that's a mile long. Every day I work morning to night and somehow I've only managed to slip further behind!
Giselle: Got a new book out? What's it called?
Lilith Lo: Relax
Giselle: Done. Now tell me about this book LOL
Lilith Lo: A couple trapped in a sexually repressed marriage sought out sex therapy - and then discovers a new passion while putting their counselor's suggestions into practice.
Giselle: I love couples trapped in sexually repressed marriages! Where can readers buy it?

...but the weird part was...
Random middle-of-the-night post, here. My girlfriend had this dream about us. And when I say US, that includes YOU:
Canada just got hotter!
I had a weird dream ... well not really weird but different for me .. usually dont dream about sexGiselle Renarde
.. it was one of those no lead-up no end dreams .. just the action in the middle ..
I finally got my entire hand inside you .. all the way past the wrist .... you were totally naked flat on a table with a velvet table cloth and you kept trying to pull your shoulders up so you could get a view of what I was doing .. but the angle was wrong and you kept wincing with a touch of hurt but smiling to encouraging me to keep going
... but the weird part was ....
.. that you didnt seem to notice (or if you did you didnt care) that there were people around watching sort of like bleacher style and they were making comments and encouragements
.. weird huh ?

This 7-paragraph excerpt is brought to you by the sensuality scientiststs at My Sexy Saturday. From the story “Could Have Been Any Girl”:
“You gotta fuck me,” I growled, crawling from her arms.
Until she glanced at the group of dykes watching us kiss, I’d nearly forgotten we were on a city street.
“What, right here?” she asked. Her voice was squeaky and high, and she cleared her throat before saying, “We got an audience, babygirl.”
I didn’t care. I turned around, leaned against the brick wall, and spread my legs. “Fuck me. Hard.”
The dykes were all watching when my reluctant stranger shoved her hand between my thighs and shifted my thong out of the way. When the stiff night air kissed my cunt, I gasped. It felt so new to be exposed like this, out on the street before a group of gawking lesbians.
The stranger took her turn with me, and the moment those thick fingers slid inside my pussy I was a helpless.
“Yeah, fuck me,” I moaned, bucking back at her hand, making her fingers move hot and fast. “Harder!”

Canada just got hotter!
The Book I Wrote Before I Was a Writer and Don't Take This as a Recommendation
Where to begin? There's so much I want to tell you.
I'll begin with the novel. I found it on my computer, partially completed at 200 pages and 60,000 words. I have some memory of writing it while I was still working in business--before I had any intention of becoming an author, as far as I recall. But memory is an iffy thing. I can be wrong. I'm often wrong.
If I wrote a huge chunk of a novel before I made my living as a writer, I must have done it for a reason. That reason is lost on me now. To preserve a time in my life? To preserve the salience of certain events? I don't know. All I do know is that I started revising this book and it sucks monkey balls.
But you know what? Even monkey balls can be fixed. And now I want to make a joke about this chimpanzee I saw in a documentary whose vasectomies wouldn't take... but I won't make that joke. Instead, I'll admire what I was trying to accomplish over a decade ago, when I wrote my life down--or some version of it, at least.
This book is autobiographical fiction, but if I were to sit down right now and try to delve back into myself as a teen and young adult, I just wouldn't be able to. I've outgrown the angst. It's so hard to access that side of yourself when it feels so distant, but when I wrote this book (I must have been in my mid-twenties at the time) those years were obviously close at hand.
So I'm thankful my former self took the time to write my monkey balls book. Sure the writing is terrible, but the heart of it's there. It'll take a lot of time, but I can work with what's on the page. That's the project I'm devoting my time to, these days.
Blog Post, Part Deux:
You might have noticed I added a feature in the sidebar. Over there ==>
My New Year's resolution was to read more, because I firmly believe a big part of the writer's job is to read. Mission accomplished. I'm pretty sure I've already read more books in 2015 than I did in the whole of 2014. Well, maybe not quite, but almost. I'm doing well.
I also figured I would share what I was reading with you. I'm accountable to you. You can see what I'm doing. Giselle is nothing if not transparent.
Nope.
Except, if you're reading this blog post before I change the cover in the sidebar, the book you're seeing actually isn't the book I'm reading.
When I spotted The Postmistress at the library, I was so excited because I remember when it came out and there were subway posters for it and the cover looked so pretty and I was like, "Yay, it'll be like Lark Rise to Candleford and I miss that show so much."
And then I opened it and started reading, and from the very first page... IT WAS MY MONKEY BALLS BOOK. I kid you not.
Not talking content here, just quality and style. It begins with a preamble because the author obviously didn't have the confidence to be like, "Here's my story. Here it is. Right now." Nope, she needs to kind of explain WHY this story has to be told, or why you might be interested in reading it. I know this because that's why my monkey balls book began with a similar preamble, which is now dust.
Readers don't need to be told why they might want to read the novel via some cutesie prologue. Readers picked up your book because they wanted to read the book. So just get on with it.
You know I don't like to trash other authors' works because it's bad for business and it makes you feel pretty shitty if you are that author, but The Postmistress is a New York Times bestseller and the prose is just... it's just not good, guys. It's sadly bad. It's so bad it made me sad.
Books that bring out my inner editor go back to the library. I never used to give up on books. I felt like once I'd started them I had a duty to finish reading. Not anymore.
What put me over the edge with The Postmistress was the messy POV shifts and head-hopping. It irked me so much I finally threw my bookmark on the floor, closed the book and said, "That's it. I'm done." And also, "Who edited you?" This stuff would have been so easy to edit out. It's really jarring, and it's just left in there to jar you. It's like if I'd found my monkey balls book on my hard drive and just went, "Hey, let's publish this! Right now!"
Basically what I'm saying is that books that appear in the what I'm reading feature in the sidebar are just that--books I'm reading. They're not necessarily recommendations.
Although I have a feeling the book I just started (Half-Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan) WILL be, because the writing is fucking brilliant. Lawrence Hill thinks so too. Although his quote on the cover says, "A truly beautiful novel." Mine would be more like, "Kick-ass motherfucking gorgeous writing like I've never seen. *high-five*"
...which is probably why I'm never quoted on book covers...
*Opinions expressed at Donuts and Desires are those of Giselle Renarde and do not necessarily represent the views of her cats.*

#RandomBookIWrote Wednesday: Nanny State
I really can't overstate how dirty this book is. It's the kind of smut that just keeps getting smuttier as it goes. Think one schoolgirl wearing a diaper as she suckles at her landlady's breast is the dirtiest I can do? Nope. I'll give you two--one one each side.
This book, man... you just gotta read this book.
When Summer moves in with her mother’s friend, she expects to be treated like an adult. Fat chance! Victoria exerts control over every aspect of her life, protectively setting parental controls on the television and demanding Summer come straight home after her university classes.
Everything changes the day Victoria catches Summer watching some very kinky lesbian porn. The landlady soon becomes the ‘Nanny’, coaxing Summer into the big bed for play time.
The unlikely couple embarks upon a series of naughty adventures, from suckling to discipline to diapers. But what happens when Summer wants to include a girl her own age? Will Nanny punish the wayward girl or accept another charge into their uncommon household?

Excerpt:
“Bend over, girls.”
Not only did Kira bend over, she flipped her skirt up over her bum and slid her cotton panties down to her ankles. With her flawless bottom exposed, she kneeled on the couch cushion and leaned against the back, silently awaiting her punishment.
“Summer,” Nanny said, her voice hard and unforgiving. “Why can’t you be a little more like Kira?”
“Sorry, Nanny.”
Stealing my gaze away from Kira’s gorgeous ass, I pushed my bottoms and panties to the floor and stepped out of them, assuming the same position on the couch.
Nanny Victoria stepped in close to my bare behind, and then seemed to change her mind and approached Kira instead. “I’m trying to decide, girls, whom to spank first.”
“Please spank me first, Nanny.” There was a begging quality to Kira’s voice that gave me butterflies low down in my belly. “It was more my fault than Summer’s. I dawdled all the way home.”
That wasn’t true in the least. If anyone had dawdled it was me. I wondered where Kira learned to be so beautifully submissive. She was way better at it than I was, and that realization made me more jealous than I cared to admit.
“Did you hear that, Summer?” Nanny’s gaze burned a hole in my back, but I didn’t turn around. Maybe I should have, because when she brought that wooden spoon down on my ass, boy, I was not expecting it!

#MySexySaturday One Woman Show
I featured my new anthology of transgender literary erotica for My Sexy Saturday a few weeks ago when it first came out. I'm featuring Everybody Knows again today (with an excerpt from a different story) because the large print edition is now available!It's really important to me to offer books in large print, and particularly to ensure that the large print edition is available for the same price as the standard edition.
One thing I did differently with Everybody Knows: I created not just larger print, but a larger book. The large print edition is 7.5"x9.25", so more squarish than my usual 5.25x8. (Who else nerds out on book stuff and accessibility?)
Anyhoo, this week's 7-paragraph excerpt is from a touching story called One Woman Show. It's the very last story in Everybody Knows and it's never been published elsewhere. I kept it for this collection because I love these characters--a transgender actress rehearsing her one-woman-show, and her friend Jenna, who gives her the encouragement she needs:
"I wouldn’t say I had a bad childhood. Lots of kids had it worse.” Rising from the floor, Wellesley let out a small chuckle. “This is starting to feel like therapy.”
Jenna laughed along. “You would know.”
Staring at a bare bulb, Wellesley felt a spark of inspiration. Out of her fear, something real rose up. She had a vision of what she could create for her audience. Her story was real. If she told it right, she could really move them.
“When I was twelve, Mom drove me to the city. There were no therapists in town, and even if there had been she wouldn’t have wanted anyone getting wind that I was seeing one. She asked the doctor if there was something wrong with me. And if you have to ask, the answer’s pretty clear.”
“Something wrong with you?”
“Puberty didn’t sit well.” Wellesley suddenly felt dizzy, and she set herself down on the futon. “Hey, Jenna, isn’t it weird how sometimes it’s easier talking to strangers than talking to someone you love? I could tell Dr. Mirim things I could never tell my mom. And, for some reason, the idea of bearing my soul to one hundred and seventy three audience members is less unsettling than the idea of getting naked in front of you.”
Jenna peeked out from behind her makeshift spotlight. “Just pretend I’m a hundred and seventy three people.”
***
I really hope you'll grab a copy of Everybody Knows, whether as an ebook, paperback, or large print paperback.
It's available from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U01XGLY?tag=dondes-20

For the first time in print: A Little Burlesque with bonus Burlesque Beauties
A Little BurlesqueLesbian Historical Romance
by Giselle Renarde
Now available in print!
Sapphic secrets abound at the little burlesque house by the sea, and it'll take more than slippery fingers to bring them to the surface.
In A Little Burlesque, Madame Mireille's ocean-side parlour, Les Trois Dames Jouissantes, is one of the last houses holding to the tenets of classic burlesque. They specialize in raunchy comedy sketches, undulating fan dances, chorus lines and, of course, the striptease. In post-war Maritimes, Madame's burlesque house enjoys notoriety thanks to an all-female cast combining the smart with the sensual.
It was this reputation that attracted the troupe's two newest members. Ginger the saucy redhead has been around the block a few times. She might come on strong, but she's a master of the comedy striptease. Orchid is young, new to the stage, and embodies all that is innocent--or so she'd have you believe!
This print edition also includes the short sequel, Burlesque Beauties.
When Orchid catches Petra performing in a saucy burlesque show, all those leering eyes bring out the jealous beast in her. What could possibly heal the rift? If Petra joins her by the seaside, will Orchid realize there are certain gifts burlesque beauties only give each other?
Historical lesbian romance with an erotic edge.
Get it from https://www.createspace.com/5360610

#RandomBookIWrote Wednesday: Narcissist Seeks Narcissist
This is a book I wrote because, like 86% of the planet, I've got a huge crush on Joanna Lumley. So I fictionalized her, turned her into a lesbian, and put her in this erotic comedy. Ahh... a girl can dream...
Narcissist Seeks Narcissist
by Giselle Renarde
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0063IY6QC/ref=dondes-20
Szuszu the former model has survived on women and scotch since she was just a teenager. All these years, she's had her best friend Babette by her side, but now that Babette is married and setting off on a world tour, Szuszu feels utterly abandoned. As a pre-departure joke, Babette writes up a silly and snide little personal ad, which narcissistic Szuszu posts in hopes of attracting a woman who looks just like she did when she was young.
Naomi thinks Szuszu's post is hilarious -- what a great sense of humor! She can hardly believe the centrefold she stole from her dad's collection way back in the day is looking for love. It's not like her to answer a personal ad, but for the infamous Szuszu she'll make an exception. She thinks Szuszu looks fantastic, and Szuszu (who refuses to wear her glasses) thinks Naomi looks just like her. What could ensue but sex, love, and a whole lot of comedy?_____________________________________________________

EXCERPT
"What's that you're scribbling, darling? It's about me, isn't it?" Szuszu reached across the table, nearly knocking over her backup scotch and soda. "Hand it over, Babs. Let's have a look."
Babette pressed the cocktail napkin flush to her chest, setting down her slim gold pen. "It's nothing, Szusz. Just my shopping list." She shook her head, eyes wide, guilty as sin. "Just my groceries."
"Shopping!" Szuszu cackled, knocked back the scotch in her hand, then slammed the glass down on the table. "Darling, you haven't done the shopping since you shacked up with that dairy cow you call a wife. You don't need to shop -- just bend the old hausfrau over a bucket and you've got your milk for free."
"Leave Matilda out of this." Babette shoved the cocktail napkin in her jacket pocket.
"Ah!" Gazing across the table through the amplifying lens of an empty scotch glass, Szuszu pointed to Babette's chest. "There! I see what you've written. It's all smeared across your tits, darling."

Tell me what you're up to, Lisabet Sarai
Tell me what you're up to, Lisabet Sarai!
Lisabet Sarai: Book 2 of my DS Duos series came out the first week in February. I'm trying to find time to promo, but my "real" job is sucking up an awful lot of time.
My biggest news is that I just got two contracts from LadyLit Publishing for lesbian fiction. This will be my first standalone F/F books and I'm pretty excited. One book is a collection of short stories called HER OWN DEVICES. The other is a brand new paranormal fantasy entitled THE WITCHES OF GLOUCESTER.
Got a new book out? What's it called?
Lisabet Sarai: DS Duos Book 2
Tell me about it.
Lisabet Sarai: DS Duos Book 2 continues Lisabet Sarai's incendiary series with two more intense BDSM short stories. In "Never Too Late", a middle-aged wife and mother encounters the Master of whom she's secretly dreamed all her life. In "Just a Spanking", a dominant provides an answer to the question he's asked his long-time submissive: could you come from just a spanking? Also includes a spicy F/F BDSM excerpt from Lisabet's erotic thriller EXPOSURE.

Did I ever tell you about this?
I can't remember if I mentioned I wrote a short piece that was included in the book Publisher's Weekly calls a "groundbreaking title":
Trans Bodies, Trans Selves: A Resource for the Transgender Community
by Laura Erickson-Schroth (Editor)
Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is a revolutionary resource-a comprehensive, reader-friendly guide for transgender people, with each chapter written by transgender or genderqueer authors. Inspired by Our Bodies, Ourselves, the classic and powerful compendium written for and by women, Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is widely accessible to the transgender population, providing authoritative information in an inclusive and respectful way and representing the collective knowledge base of dozens of influential experts. Each chapter takes the reader through an important transgender issue, such as race, religion, employment, medical and surgical transition, mental health topics, relationships, sexuality, parenthood, arts and culture, and many more.
Bet you thought I was just a no-good down-and-dirty smut peddler, didn't ya? ;-)
