A Sunday Snog From Sinclair

It’s two days until I press ‘publish’ onLecture Notes, so I think I’ll play Sunday Snogs with my main characters, Beth and Sinclair.

He looks at me again for a long time while I curl up and die of mixed embarrassment and desire. “Come here,” he says at length.

I totter over what seems like hundreds of acres of ground and then he puts out his hand, I take it and am pulled close to him, against his chest, my forehead just level with his chin so that bristles of beard tickle it. He smells gorgeous...

The Debutantes #6 – Morwen Navarre

Yay, another Friday, another fantastic new voice in erotica and erotic romance. Please give a warm welcome to Morwen Navarre!

I always knew I’d write. My head has always been full of stories, and people. I fell in love with stories and books when I was very small, and I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t read, or didn’t have a book in my hands. We had these circulars they’d send home with us from school, with books that our parents could purchase for us. There were little boxes next to the...

Apocalyptic Lovin’ with Tabitha Rayne

So happy to have Tabitha Rayne back today – I think she’s terrific, and I know you will too. Welcome, Tabitha!

Hey Justine,

Thanks so much for letting me hang out at your place – I love it over here!

When I was growing up, it was during the time of the Cold War, Chernobyl disaster and all sorts of threats of doom (even a predicted return of the Ice Age) all rather gloomy at times – but on the other hand, we had Big D peanuts in public houses.

So, of a Sunday afternoon at the rugby club with my pa...

Remember, Remember…

The first of October. Damn, it doesn’t rhyme.

100 Kisses From Justine

Congratulations to Victoria Blisse on the 100th Sunday Snog. How could I resist joining in such a festival of osculation? Answer: I couldn’t.

Here’s a rural fireside snog from my latest publication,Ask No Questions.

“So you prefer sheep to women, then, do you? Is it true what they say?”

It seemed the natural thing to do, to take hold of a pigtail and wrap it around his fist in mock-threat.

“And what might that be? Would you care to tell me?”

“One man and his sheep. A relationship of equals.” She s...

Stop Writing!

So many fantastic and tempting books are coming out, or have come out, in this early autumn season that I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. I’m still elbow-deep in formatting and I need to make some time to glom them all. So I implore my favourite writers to stop being so bleedin’ brilliant and give me a chance to keep up…

Here are just three of the goodies on my Must Read pile (there are many more…)

This cover kills me before I’ve even read the blurb.

TITLE ENVY! Why didn’t I think of it? Argh! T...

If No Pain = No Gain, Does Pain = Gain?

I hope so.

Because I’ve been engaged in a painstaking reformatting of my six-year-old novelLecture Notes in order to prepare it for publication. And by painstaking I mean that its original form included endless extra spaces between paragraphs and a double space after every full stop. Find and Replace can’t do a thing about that. I can’t enter ‘two spaces’ and have it replaced by ‘space’, after all. Oh, if only.

It’s not just the technical difficulties. The whole premise isn’t one I’d necessaril...

The Zombie Erotoclypse Is Here!

There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide – Tamsin Flowers is here and she’s brought her zombies! But don’t worry. They are sexy zombies. I think I’d better let her explain that one! Welcome, Tamsin!

Hi

First I have to say thanks to Justine for inviting me to bring my zombies over to her blog – and I’m really thrilled to be here, not least because this is our first stop in what’s going to be an exhaustive 30-day tour…

So what’s it all about?

I’m celebrating the publication of my first solo short st...

Advanced Corsetry

Yes, that was the title of my first ever published story, and now – finally! – I have my first ever corset on a cover. (Both courtesy of Black Lace.)

Luscious laces!

In other news,Confessions of a Kinky Wife is free at Amazon. Again.

Back To School

I think it’s just a coincidence but, just as the new academic year is beginning, I appear to be finishing off a couple of long-standing projects and starting on new and fresh ones.

For one thing, I finished writing my first non-erotic book – something I wasn’t sure I would ever achieve. It’s a historical, the first in a series, and I need to make up my mind what to do with it.

And today I finished my next Xcite erotic novel, which is part one of a fantasy trilogy.Princess In Chains will be avai...
