Valves & Vixens Volume 2 Cover reveal

Well the other day I announced that Valves & Vixens would be offically back with a second volume and today I can show off the cover!

We have gone with a similar theme as the first but also slightly different.

What do you all think?

If you are interested in submitting a story for this anthology you can find all the details in the submission call area of this blog.

Bathed in Chocolate goodness!

Well okay so not quite bathed however I have just recently received an acceptance for my story The Competition. It will be published in More Smut for Chocoholics published by House of Erotica.

I apparently seem to be developing a series of chocolate related stories my last one The Chocolatier was in Smut for Chocoholics.

So without further ado let me show you the cover for More Smut for Chocoholics!

There is just something wonderfully decadent about chocolate and the colour purple that makes this series so delicious!

I loved writing The Competition it's completely taps into my desire to one day design and create chocolates and I hope everyone enjoys it.

Since this is an anthology there is obviously lots of authors involved and I'm happy to say I'll be sharing these pages with the following authors:

Tilly Hunter 

Victoria Blisse  

Aurelia T Evans  

Lucy Felthouse

Ruby Madsen

Jacqueline Brocker

Wandering Lust Cover Change

Well my first all female anthology Wandering Lust has now been out for a year (where has the time gone?!). To celebrate this House of Erotica have decided that it deserved a cover change.

To remind everyone this is what the original cover looked like:

And this is what the cover is changing to:

It has already changed on All Romance Ebooks and Amazon will be changing to it soon. It's a much more luxuriant feel although I still love the old cover! 

Don't forget you can buy Wandering Lust here:
Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AZO8E9K
Amazon USA: http://amzn.com/B00AZO8E9K
All Romance Ebook: https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-wanderinglust-1041163-362.html

Blurb: A collection of sexy Sapphic shorts about women capturing moments of pleasure both on holiday and at work.

These lust filled ladies find themselves in many situations and experience many pleasures previously unknown. The stories will take you away to sand filled beaches, corporate jet planes, jazz clubs, fast moving trains, hotel swimming pools, an artist studio and even some lust filled hot city nights.
 

New release! So Oft Beguiled in XOXO and Be My Valentine - XOXO

Well I wasn't expecting to announce this one so soon but since it's a book filled with stories based on love and valentines day maybe now is the perfect time (after all it means you can get the book in advance and surprise your partner with it!)

My story So Oft Beguiled is in House of Erotica's anthology XOXO which is filled with authors and stories set around Valentines Day and love in general.

It can be found here:

Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00I0B9CEQ
Amazon USA: http://amzn.com/B00I0B9CEQ
All Romance Ebooks: https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-xoxo-1402091-362.html

However if six great stories aren't enough for you then House of Erotica have put together the two valentine anthologies so that you can read twelve stories by a number of different authors. This melded anthology will also be available in print shortly!

By My Valentine - XOXO contains all twelve stories including my story So Oft Beguiled.

All Romance Ebooks: https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-bemyvalentinexoxo-1403485-362.html

So you have plenty of options!

My story So Oft Beguiled is a little tale about Cupid finding love. Here's the blurb:

Feeling left behind by the world Cupid gets dragged into the 21st Century and introduced to the world of online dating.

I had a lot of fun writing this story which is a lot more light hearted than most of the ones I work on. 

Submissions wanted: Corsets & Clockwork - Steampunk erotica - now renamed: Valves & Vixens

 I love Steampunk, and decided it was about time to put an anthology of Steampunk Erotica together. Inspired by my love of science and technology I didn't just want to write the anthology on my own I am looking for submissions! 

All the information can be found below the deadline is February 28th and please pass this on to whomever you think would be interested.

Deadline: February 28^th 2014 (Early Submissions are preferred.)

Editor/ Author Nicole Gestalt is looking for stories set in a might-have-been Victorian setting filled with clockwork machines and airships. Think Jules Verne or League of Extraordinary Gentleman, think Sherlock Holmes with clockwork machines and the film Wild, Wild West.

The stories do not have to be focused in the Victorian era they could be modern day stories but still with the Victorian clockwork style. They could even be off world – think spaceships powered by nothing but steam, or mighty metal boats propelled by sails powered by the rays of the sun. Be as inventive as you can but please don't forget the story line and the relationships! Since this is an erotic anthology there should be on the page sex scenes however don't forget the interaction between the characters and the relationship they have. The stories should either end with a Happy-For-Now or a Happy-Ever-After it would have to be a amazingly good story for me to select it if it didn't (but I am well prepared to have my opinion changed on that).

Nicole will be looking for stories that stand out so please don't just set your stories in London, they can be set anywhere in the world – or even off world. Don't be afraid to experiment

The No-No's: No scat, bestiality, under age sex, golden showers, rape or forced sex or incest of any kind and necrophilia (that does not include intelligent undead such as Vampires). If in doubt please ask

Format of submission: Please send the submissions double spaced in Times New Roman, 12 point black font. Indent the first line of each paragraph half an inch and double space (using normal double spacing please do not add an extra line between the paragraphs). Double quotation marks! Please submit your final, complete and totally edited version of the story. File format: .doc or .rtf. Since this is a British publisher UK spelling and grammar is greatly preferred.

In your document at the top left of the page please include you legal name, mailing address and a fifty words or less author bio written in the third person. If you are using a pen-name please provide both and make it clear which one you wish to use.

Please email your submissions to: gestaltanthologies@gmail.com

Authors must own their rights to the stories and not have had them published anywhere else. Please note the publisher has final approval over the stories included in the manuscript.

New Covers

I'd like to share with you all the gorgeous new covers for two anthologies that have some of my stories in.

The second new cover is for an anthology that is all about one of my favourite kinds of food - chocolate. My story is called The Chocolatier. It has some really yummy stories in it and there is plenty of chocolate within!

 

Smut for Chocoholics Cover

Well after the good news that my story The Chocolatier has been accepted in the new anthology Smut for Chocoholics here is the cover!

It has of course got chocolate on which makes it perfect in my eyes.

Termination of Employment Cover

Here is the cover for my new ebook published by Phaze, Termination of Employment. It doesn't come out for a little while and I'm presently working through the edits but I wanted to share the cover with you all.

Vision in Green

Vision in Green will be out on February 14th. I'm quite excited that it's actually out on Valentines Day. A different story will be released each day from tomorrow so keep your eyes on the site http://www.phaze.com

The free ebooks released during this time will be available indefinitely but don't let that stop you getting them as they are released.

Vision in Green is a f/f, which touches on the subject of 'packing'.

Here is a short blurb.

When Samantha visited the club she wasn't expecting to see anyone but when an old friend turns up with a vision in green in tow she knows her night is going to get a lot hotter.

Deep Sea Heat

I forgot to put this up earlier so here it is now. Within this book I have a short story called Deep Sea Heat. It's hot and fast and a holiday romance set on a tropical island with diving gear.

It's available from Amazon as well as Alyson (which is the publisher). The anthology is a f/f one and is just filled with hot sexy stories to keep you reading.

Rekindling the Spark Cover

Following on from the Cold Fire Cover here is the cover for Rekindling the Spark. It has been picked up by the Phaze Obsession Heatsheet line, although the cover doesn't 'really' fit with the story (there's no gambling in it) I still really like it. Rekindling the Spark will be out later this year - details to follow.

Cold Fire Cover

I am pleased and very happy to unveil the cover for Cold Fire. It was made for me by the wonderful Celia Kaye. I was a bit nervous about this cover because it's the first one I have had any input on, however I am very happy with the result. In fact it's an even more exciting moment for me because the background of the cover is actually a piece of my encaustic artwork.

Anyway I hope you all like it. Cold Fire is penned to be released on 21st July, and there will be more information coming to you all soon.

Enjoy!

Freedom to Serve in Coming Together: With Pride

As promised here is the information about the anthology that my short story Freedom to Serve has been accepted into.

Like Coming Together: Under Fire this is another chairty anthology. It is called Coming Together: With Pride, money raised from the sale of this book will be used to benifit AVERT. I am very happy to be a part of this anthology since it's a subject matter thats quite close to my heart and is something that recently in the UK at least has been recieving a lot of publicity (which is a good thing because where there is knowledge it minimises misunderstanding and increases prevention).





















Coming Together: With Pride is a multi-author anthology of erotic fiction edited by Alessia Brio. ALL proceeds from the sale of this volume will benefit AVERT.
