A Cocktail For Kristina: Slippery Nipple

Hello, and welcome to my spot at the Kinky Cocktail Bar. We’re open to day to celebrate the imminent publication of Kristina Lloyd’s new Black Lace novel,Undone, and believe me, happy hour will last all day and all night.

Allow me to offer you a Slippery Nipple.

Some people might give you a swizzle stick or a paper umbrella in your cocktail. If you’re lucky you’ll get a sparkler. Well, that’s what I’m giving you today – and not just any old sparkler either. Look in your drink and you’ll find a...

I Got Lucky!

Not only is it release day forHer World of Submission, the final instalment of the serial that began withHis House of Submission, but it’s also release day for A.M. Hartnett’s new book,Holding My Breath,book 2 in herCarried Away series.

And I have a hot date with its hero, Quinn Pattengale! OMG, I haven’t got a thing to wear…but that might not be a problem…

So we’re going to assume that you’re not a paying client. That process is a little different. Quinn does have his way of doing things to ma...

Lily Harlem Is In The Chair

Bank Holiday Monday, ergo Torrential Rain. But Lily Harlem is here, erecting a shelter and firing up the grill regardless, with typical Brit grit – no less than you’d expect from a Brit Babe. And we can expect great things from her. Welcome, Lily!

1. Whowas your first famous-person crush? Simon LeBon from Duran Duran. I was crazy for him and even made a mobile out of a coat hanger and pictures of him cut from teen magazines to hang above my bed!

2. Whatwriters inspired you as a child and youn...

5 Year Anniversaries: Sexy Little Numbers

A couple of months ago I wrote a post about my first print appearance – in the Black LaceLiaisons anthology – in May 2009.

I enjoyed it so much, I decided to celebrate all these five year anniversaries, with the thought of reviving some excellent books and anthologies that might have slipped from the erotica consciousness in the intervening time.

WhenLiaisonscame out, I was full of the joys of new authorship. I was close to completingOn Demand and excited about being a Black Lace author, bubbli...

Summer Loving

It’s summertime and the lovin’ is easy, especially when there is so much to love. How do I love this book? Let me count the ways.

1. It’s edited by Alison Tyler, which is a stamp of highest quality right from the start.

2. The sultry cover art, by Willsin Rowe, takes me straight to the hot white sand beach I’ve just left behind me in beautiful Majorca.

3. It was conceived (no doubt in a fragrant boudoir) by Tamsin Flowers, one of erotica’s brightest and kindest new stars.

4. It contains 20 storie...

Victoria Blisse Is In The Chair

Since we’re at the grill, who better to take the chair next than Victoria Blisse, who has written a veritable picnic hamper’s worth of food related erotica, from Smut for Chocoholics to Really Cooking. We’re in for a gourmet treat here today! Welcome, Victoria!

1. Who was your first famous-person crush?

Oh dear, this is a little bit embarassing, really but my first famous person crush was Cliff Richard. Yep. I was 12, he was in his fifties but I loved him. His voice, his looks…I still love his...

A Diamond Is Born

I’ve been in Majorca for the past 10 days. The days that didn’t include fainting in caves, sustaining freak injuries in waterparks and generally vomiting all over the northern coast were wonderful. The others…well, you get the picture.

While I was alternating lying on the beach with bending over the toilet bowl, a new book was released. And not just any old book. This one is the first in a trilogy for Black Lace, and it’s calledDiamond.

It’s being marketed as ‘glamorous’, and I suppose there is...

L C Wilkinson Is In The Chair

I’ve got L C Wilkinson strapped to the interrogation chair today – and I want to reassure you that I don’t just have a piece of her. No, I have all of her. And she’s got All Of Me. Welcome, LC!

Who was your first famous-person crush?

I had a big passion for cowboys films that used to be shown on Sunday afternoon telly and adored Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Paul Newman or Robert Redford? Decisions, decisions – I could never quite make up my mind. And though I was far too young to appreci...

Kelly Lawrence/Michelle Kelly Is In The Chair

Do I have a guest at the grill for you today! In fact, I have two guests in one person – the lovely Kelly Lawrence, who wrote the Black Lace memoirWicked Games, AND her fiction-writing alter ego, Michelle Kelly. It’s terrific to have you here! Welcome.

1.Who was your first famous-person crush?

My first major celebrity crush was when I was sixteen and was actually a woman. Angelina Jolie, in fact. I saw her in the film Gia and she blew me away. In my early twenties I had a very big thing for Dav...

Naiad

My story in the Sweetmeats PressDrenched anthology is also available as a standalone title.

A modern day water nymph finds herself adrift on a lake in southern Germany. But on the shore waits her nemesis, a man who will take her out of her watery element and bend her to his will…

Here’s an excerpt:

The others were sleeping off their hangovers, still fully dressed on the collapsing cane furniture. None of them stirred when I opened the wooden shutters to admit sunlight to the bottle strewn floor,...
