Weekly Update

Phew well it's been another crazy week. I've managed to hit my word counts and have been working on some interesting new story-lines which will hopefully see the light of day soon!

However the most exciting news isn't that I've been writing instead it's that one of the anthologies I'm a part of has been turned into an audio-book read by the amazing Rose Caraway.

The Big Book of Submission edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel contains 69 different stories of submission told from all sides. My story Lost in the Feeling can be found within the book. Being published by Rachel was quite high up on my list of writing goals I always wanted to achieve (you can read more about this here: http://nicolegestalt.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/the-big-book-of-submission-blog-tour.html) and so I was very happy when this fun little story got into the anthology.

Also on that list was to be narrated by Rose Caraway...which because of this one story I can now tick off as done! Although I hope it's not the last. The audio book is as big as the book itself with over nine hours of deliciousness.

 You can get the audio book here: http://www.audible.com/pd/Erotica-Sexuality/The-Big-Book-of-Submission-Audiobook/B00VQFYTJG/

The print and ebook editions can be found here

Rose Caraway also runs The Kiss Me Quick's Erotica Podcast with Big Daddy: http://kisstherose.libsyn.com/

You can get some fun little sneak peeks into the book over on Rose's blog where she's featured a few of the stories for the podcast. These are well worth a listen just make sure you're not driving when you do!

The Big Book of Submission Blog Tour

You've all heard of a bucket list? It's the list of amazing things that you would like to do before you kick the bucket. Well as a writer I have over the years developed a writing list. This is the list of publications and publishers I have wanted to work with and am working toward being published by. Near the top of the list was Rachel Kramer Bussel and with the publication of The Big Book of Submission it's one that can be crossed off (although I hope not permanently!) as inside the book is my story Lost in the Feeling.

The anthology is a collection of 69 kinky tales of submission and is seriously packed with great authors, both new to publication and those that have been published before. You can literally pick this book up, open it up on page and dive straight in. The stories are short and provide little flashes into the world of the submissive.

Rachel has picked a wide variety of stories in this anthology so as long as you like submission you will definitely find something that you like in here.

Of course sometimes people don't have time to read and trust me once you start reading you're going to want to carry on. However there is a solution for that! As with a number of Rachel's previous anthologies Rose Caraway is going to be turning it into an audio book. So if you have no time to read you can just put on the audio-book and listen no matter where you are (although it is possibly advised to not drive at the same time if any of Rose's & Rachel's previous books are anything to go on!

Now stop reading this and go read the book!

(and there will be pictures put up here once I have a strong enough internet - so watch this space!)

An update or two....and a release!

Phew okay so last week I'm minding my own business getting things done, I put up Alison Tyler's guest blog and then boom! no internet - at all...it's just dead. Also no phone line - which makes things a little awkward. (I'm totally not blaming Alison Tyler but you know....coincidences? :) )

I've spent a week shouting rather loudly at the router which has spent the week blissfully ignoring me and now I'm sat writing this elsewhere. Since apparently in a week a lot can happen this is going to be a post of all kinds of things - *takes a deep breath*

First off!

Rachel Kramer Bussel's newest book The Big Book of Submission - 69 Kinky Tales is now out! This book was released in print earlier this month but it is also now finally out in ebook format so I'm considering it finally released. Within this book is my story Lost in the Feeling. I have read many of Rachel's anthologies over the past few years and more recently listened to them thanks to the gorgeous and talented Rose Caraway (and Big Daddy of course). This however is the first time that Rachel's accepted any of my work - it was an exciting day when I got the email!

You can find The Big Book of Submission here:

Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KV1SKVE
Amazon USA: http://amzn.com/B00KV1SKVE

Then in a little while the really exciting news is that Rose Caraway is going to be putting it to audio! With 69 different stories you really aren't going to be able to go wrong with this one.

 I will be posting up more bits about this book as time goes on including a short excerpt but if you really can't wait I suggest you pop over to here: The Big Book of Submission: 69 Kinky Tales

Now! Next thing to announce....

Also! If you are planning to or have bought Valves & Vixens don't forget to take part in the giveaway. What giveaway I hear you ask well this one:

If you buy something to do with Professor Elemental (from here: http://www.professorelemental.com/emporium) even if it's just one song email me proof of it and I will put you into a draw to win a print copy of Valves & Vixens.

Email the entries to: valvesandvixens 'at' gmail 'dot' com

This give-away will be continuing until the end of August so you can always get multiple entries in!

As for everything else - Cosmic Encounters authors should more or less have all heard back from me by now if you haven't it's because I'm still pondering. If you haven't had an email from me and want to ask what's going on by all means contact me.

Writing is continuing I have lots of pieces on the go as usual and of course with none/no internet I really have no excuse so forgive me if I go and publish this and then get on with some more!

The Big Book of Submission

Let me start with apologising for not posting for almost a week! It's been a crazy busy week and one that saw me in being taken into hospital for emergency tests. However all is okay (not great but we're getting there!) and I am please to announce one of my stories is in Rachel Kramer Bussel's The Big Book of Submission.

This book has 69 different stories in it and is looking to be an awesome collection. My story Lost in the Feeling is a male/female bdsm story (well all the stories have a bdsm slant) and I'm excited to see it in print!

The book will be out in July and this is the table of contents:
