2014

2013 has limped to an inglorious end and now there is the prospect of newness and shininess and hopefully no repetition of past mistakes.

Here are some things that will be happening for me this year:

1) I’m going to get this website spruced up because it’s looking a bit cobwebby.

2) Books coming out from Xcite, Mischief, Black Lace.

3) Spend less time having my confidence eaten away on social media.

4) Write what I want to write (once I get the time to write it).

Very much looking forward to that l...

A Little Bit of Slap and Tickle

Christmas is no longer coming and any fat geese are probably long gone. To cleanse your palate and refresh you in readiness for the New Year, I have Elise Hepner! Welcome, Elise.

As Christmas winds down, looking forward to 2014 I have a plan. But, like last year, I imagine my plan will get a little convoluted, my pathway a little more twisted than straight and narrow.

Confessions of a Kinky Wife

A novella I really enjoyed writing because I felt so much for the characters. Here’s what a recent correspondent had to say about it: “shows the

affection, love, commitment and care of marriage and also the fun,

sensuality and erotic attraction.” That’s what I was aiming for! Hooray!

This correspondent was on the lookout for more erotica and erotic romance featuring established couples. Do you have favourite tropes or types of story? Let me kn...

Grace Marshall Goes Back To Her Erotic Roots

I have a Christmas treat for me and thee today – the brilliant Grace Marshall aka K D Grace is here! Quick, where did I put that mistletoe? Take it away, Grace!

Thanks so much for having me over to your lovely place again, Justine! It’s always a pleasure to spend time with you talking books and writing and naughty stuff. And since I have my Grace Marshall hat on today, the naughty stuff will simmer rather than combust.

Though Grace Marshall may be my softer side, no other novel I’ve written has...
