A Doubly Auspicious Day!

Just sweeping in for a quick blog post to mark a doubly auspicious day!


The first happening is the publication day of THE ACCIDENTAL MISTRESS, the second novel in my 'Accidental' trilogy about bold, impulsive Lizzie Aitchison and John Smith, the gorgeous multi-millionaire she first met when he mistook her for a high class escort in THE ACCIDENTAL CALL GIRL.

MISTRESS is about John and Lizzie trying to negotiate a proper relationship, rather than just what seemed like a lovely, but temporary fling, in CALL GIRL. It's a very sexy story, naturally, but it's all about the two of them working out other issues too, and balancing two lives that are very, very different.

You can find out more information about THE ACCIDENTAL MISTRESS and read an excerpt HERE.

The other exciting thing going on at the moment is the arrival of yet another cat at Casa Da Costa!


This is Prince a cat we've adopted all the way from France! Himself went down to the Loire Valley, on a motor cycling holiday, to stay with some friends, and while he was there, he struck up a relationship with a stray cat who'd... well... just been abandoned by his owners. One day Prince had a home, and someone to feed him etc, then next, they upped sticks and went, leaving him behind to forage for himself. I find this unbelievable, but some people are like that. Prince had been on his own since April, eating lizards and whatever else he could catch, but once himself started feeding him and paying him attention, he instantly became friendly and appreciative. Cat and man formed a bond, and himself knew he couldn't just up sticks and leave Prince!

Of course himself couldn't bring him back there and then, not only because of being on the motorbike, but because of animal import formalities, but he's just been back in the car, a month later, and has brought Prince home to live here with us. He's currently confined to the living room, with Mork, Mindy and Felix shut out of that room, so we can effect a gradual and diplomatic introduction when Prince has had time to recover from the journey. He's already settled well, has been eating lots, and has shown instant affection to me. He's a real sweetie!

carol Hi Portia,
Have to ask...does he respond to English or French?
Good luck came his way, hope they all get on when they eventually meet.
Looking forward to your new book too.

Erotica or BDSM? If BDSM do announce it on the group site too.

Portia Costa Hi Carol

We have to say Prince with a French accent for him to pay attention. Sort of 'Prawnce'... My French is minimal and my accent atrocious, so it's a wonder he takes any notice at all.

Re. Accidental Mistress. Well, it's Erotic Romance with some BDSM elements. On the lighter side though.

carol As long as it has BDSM elements you should post in BDSM group authors corner and EZ...Erogenous Zone, I will mention it on a couple of threads too.

Our cat Cassie was born the day Princess Diana was born and the owner who cleaned my OH's office decided to call her that (not good timing in my view), then the woman was very ill and worried about the kitten. We had just lost our old cat and dog that year...and you know how empty the home becomes...we had her just before Christmas that year but I couldn't call her by that name...so Cassie. She is just 16...obviously, has been a faithful chatty cat, vocal, but had her ears chopped as the tips were cancerous this year, looks more lion cub headed now. Like your husband strays find him and I and holidays to Greece, Spain etc I usually spend buying cat food or tins of sardine in oil...sucker!
Anyway, got carried away, perhaps you need to practice your awwww Renee intonation for Prince, enjoy.
Just got your book thanks for notification.
