Cariad

The Welsh term of endearment is now also a Welsh romance imprint, presided over by Accent Press.

As part of its launch, my two former Secret Library novellas,Bewitched in Budapest andUnder The Mistletoe have had a spruce up and been given the Cariad logo. Take a look – they’re available in their new jackets right now.

Amy Valenti Is Not Your Damn Submissive

How great is that title? I love it, and the blurb that goes with it. And, most of all, I’m loving having Amy Valenti on the blog to cheer my Monday morning. Welcome, Amy!

Challenging Characters

A title like Not Your Damn Submissive probably gives a reader certain expectations. A bratty sub playing resistance games would be the most obvious conclusion to draw, and while there’s an element of that in the novel I wrote, my brain decided to make things complicated.

The protagonist, Kat, has some dee...

Snog By The Sea

Really sorry, this should have been up earlier, but I got mixed up with the usual Sunday snog and thought it didn’t have to be up until Sunday. Anyway, excuses over. Here’s the lowdown.

Free Festival

I might be showing my age, but to me, the phrase ‘free festival’ evokes images of camp fires, cider bottles and old ambulances painted with CND symbols.

The HarperCollins Virtual Romance Festival is nothing like that, though, and it’s on all weekend. Come and feel the love.

What Do We Want? Smut! Where Do We Want It? By The Sea!

Smutty fun by the Sea in Scarborough.

Smut by the Sea on the 14th June is the second time the smutters have taken over Scarborough library. Last Summer we had a fabulous time check out the photos and blogs here http://smutbythesea.co.uk/news/scarborough-2013/ and this year we’ve got even more for you to enjoy.

L C Wilkinson Brings Us All Of Him

It’s wonderful to introduce a new guest to my blog today – the lovely L C Wilkinson, who is here to talk about the sequel to her hot romanceAll of Me. Welcome, L C!

All of Him is Part 2 of The Rapture – a hot romance series – in which we follow our lovers, Flick an...

Surrender For Less

TheSurrender anthology, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel, is on sale this month, reduced to $1.99. Lots of delicious D/s stories from the best writers (but be aware, they are reprints from other RKB-edited anthologies, so some may be familiar to you already).

Come and get it!

Master of the House

I find it hard not to think of this book as ‘Man About The House’, for some reason, but it isn’t – the house has a master, and the master is called Joss, and Joss is the hero of my newly published Mischief novel,Master of the House.

Here’s the blurb (God, I hate the word blurb):

Journalist Lucy Miles returns home to her sleepy rural village to chase a potentially career changing story. But after being reunited with the boy who broke her heart, Lucy soon realises that its her own feelings that a...

Game of Free Books

Starred

TheNever Say Neveranthology/how-to hybrid is doing well in all sorts of ways, and now it has a starred review at Library Journal, which I gather is a big deal. Read it here!
