It’s Coming…

In advance of the release of Lecture Notesexclusively to Kindle on October 1st, I have a beautiful cover to show you.

Isn’t it just BEAUTIFUL??? I’m jumping up and down with excitement. Many thanks to the super-skills of Emmy Ellis.

Shinies

I went to Sh! and did a book launch on Saturday night and had a brilliant time. So brilliant that I want to thank everyone for all they did to make the night special. So, without further ado, I have awards to hand out!

The Hostesses with the Mostest Award goes to Renee, Joanna and Shelly, the gorgeous sex goddesses of Sh! who made the night possible. It’s a wonderful shop and you should all go there, right now, and spend all your spare cash on their lovely, lovely stuff.

The Debutantes #5 – Matthew Stillman

My first-time writer this week has a project so fascinating and unique that I must leave it to him to explain it to you. Welcome, Matthew Stillman!

My first full length book is an erotica novel.


Through twitter I have become friends with Jill Hamilton who runs the funny and incredibly well written sex blog -In Bed With Married Women.


My first full length book is an erotica novel based on the book of Genesis from the Bible.


I was helping her do a bit of research for a piece she was writing on real...

Dolce

Whilst I’ve been basking in the sun, two more of my Mischief books have been translated into Italian.

Game becomesIl Gioco

…whileHis House of SubmissionbecomesLa Casa delle Sottomesse

Bellissima!

Ask No Questions, Pay No Pennies

I want to reward you all for being a big bag of smashers, so my new novellaAsk No Questions is currently free at all Amazon sites.

You can get it here (UK) and here (US) and in Canada, Germany and all the other Amazons. I’m rather excited to see it in the top 10 free erotica Kindle books in the US – big high fives to all my American friends for that.

Ask No Questions is my first Kindle self-pub title, but it won’t be my last. I’ll be releasing a few hints about the next one soon, plus I recentl...

The Debutantes #4 – Ian Jade

Today I have a writer so brand new that he is yet to submit for publication – although he is already a witty presence on social media. I urge you all to read this thoughtful and thought-provoking post from Ian Jade. Welcome, Ian.

Why Write Erotica? – Ian Jade

I am not really a writer yet. So, I imagine, I have an odd perspective on writing in general, and erotica in particular. I’ve written little snippets, fragments of stories and ideas that might, one day, make it as far as a finished piece,...

I Can’t Pretend It’s Not Happening Any More

…because it is happening. It’s happening soon and it’s happening for real. And I can still only look at it through my fingers. But it’s this.

I’ve written twelve full-length books but I’ve never had a book launch before. The main reason for this is because I am careful to the point of paranoia about protecting my anonymity. I avoid showing my face as much as possible and it takes a lot to coax me out of the shadows. But I’ve done one public event before – also at Sh! – and they were brilliant...

Free House

A week in the wilds was just what the head-doctor might have ordered, and I’ve returned to find thatHis House of Submission is currently free on Amazon. So if you want to stretch out the hot summer vibe to its maximum, you might want to read about Jasper and Sarah and their season of submission.

Here’s an excerpt:

I was avid with curiosity about this outfit he had picked out for me. Was it some kind of ballgown?

On the bed lay a strange little bundle of black lace.

It didn’t look like a dress.

I p...

Away From It All

I’m heading into the wilds of West Sussex this weekend, to spend a week on recharge. God, I hope it works. Hope my batteries aren’t permanently flat, after all. Wish me luck.

Now for the best bit – loading up the Kindle!

Ask No Questions

I’ve done it. I’ve self-published – and it was easy peasy.

I used Kindle Direct Publishing’s Select programme after canvassing some advice about the best way to go about it, and the only difficult element was trying to design the cover. Luckily enough, there are many amazing and talented artists on the erotica scene and one of them, Emmy Ellis, came to my rescue with this beautiful offering.

The rest was plain sailing.

Ask No Questions is a 32K word novella about a romance between two people who...
