A Great Start to 2016! #award #bestseller #lesfic @ladylitpub

Hi everyone,

I’m delighted to announce that my lesbian mini-anthology, Girls Will Be Girls, has scored a double whammy this early in 2016. Firstly, I was notified that it had won Best F/F Book in Divine Magazine’s 2015 Book Awards:

And then I spotted that it had gained a silver star on All Romance eBooks, showing it’s a bestseller. Woohoo! On that note, it’s also worth mentioning that the collection is rolling out to other retailers. I’m keeping an eye out and updating the book page here when more links become available, so you can purchase from your preferred retailer.

Happy Reading!

Saturday Spankings #84 – “…well that wasn’t quite what I’d expected.” #SatSpanks

Saturday Spankings-467x200Hi everyone,

It’s time for another Saturday Spankings, which is where authors post eight-ish sentences of a spanking on their blogs. Here’s another snippet from my story, Doctor’s Orders, which appears in the just-released Brit Boys: With Toys boxed set. It’s a M/M collection of eight stories, by Brit authors, with Brit characters and Brit locations – and one great price. You can also read it as part of your Kindle Unlimited subscription. The snippet follows on directly from last week’s. Enjoy!

Brit Boys: With ToysAfter a couple more minutes, Blake made a sound of disgust, and stopped. The barest hint of heat emanated from Aaron’s bottom. “Humph,” Blake said, “well that wasn’t quite what I’d expected. It was fun in a way, I admit, but I’d much rather take my hand to your arse and give you a good hiding.”

“Be my guest, Sir,” Aaron replied.

A moment later and a rough hand gripped Aaron’s chin. Warm breath caressed his lips, and the scent of the wine they’d drunk in the restaurant reached his nostrils. “I think I might just do that. But first…”

I hope you enjoyed that snippet! You can pre-order the book here. And then see the below list to hop to the other authors taking part…

My Sexy Saturday #99 – Lips that were allowed to kiss his, thank God! #MySexySaturday

My Sexy Saturday

Welcome back to My Sexy Saturday – and Happy New Year! This is where writers post either 7 words, 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs from their published work or work in progress. Here’s a snippet from my story, Doctor’s Orders, which appears in the just-released Brit Boys: With Toys anthology – a collection of eight M/M erotic romance by Brit authors, with Brit characters and in Brit locations. Enjoy!

Brit Boys: With Toys“Wha—”

Aaron didn’t even get chance to finish his exclamation, as he’d been slammed against the now-closed cupboard door, and hard, demanding lips were pressed to his. Lips, he realised, as his brain caught up with the turn of events, that belonged to Doctor Blake Colville. Lips that were allowed to kiss his, thank God!

The fresh, spicy scent of Blake’s cologne invaded Aaron’s nostrils, and he relaxed into the kiss, returned it with enthusiasm. Blake’s tongue sought entrance to Aaron’s mouth, and he gave it willingly, moaning as their tongues slipped and tangled together sensuously, and Blake’s firm, lithe body pinned his slightly-more-muscular one against the cool wood of the door. He stifled any further moans that wanted to sneak out, remembering that, hot as the situation was, it was also pretty precarious, and both of them could get into serious trouble if they were caught.

Writing What I Love

A version of this post originally appeared at the Brit Babes blog.

Hi all,

The title of this post is “writing what I love”, as you can see. But I’m not just talking romance, or erotic romance here. Today, I’m being a lot more specific.12109808_10153675843650561_7947745297960373214_o

I have lots of hobbies and interests, and one of them is spending time out walking in the countryside with my other half and my dog, Scamp. I’m lucky to live fairly close to Derbyshire’s Peak District. I say fairly close because although I can be on its southern fringes in less than an hour, the furthest reaches are about two and a half hours away.

1237656_10151985196680561_775163184_n

Anyway, we head up there pretty regularly, mainly staying in the bottom half of the area, occasionally straying further in the summer when there are more hours of daylight. Sometimes we revisit places, do walks we’ve already done. Other times we’ll go somewhere new. Either way, it never gets old. The landscape is utterly amazing – in a single walk you can see valley bottoms, dramatic gritstone edges, farmland, rolling hills, stone circles… the list goes on. And time of year and weather conditions can make even the same places you’ve seen before look different. Or you’ll notice something you never noticed last time. Or nature will go and provide something amazing for you to look at. I’m constantly fascinated, and I love it, which is why we head up there so often. It also helps that there are some great pubs, many of which allow Scamp to go in, too. He’s got his favourites – mainly the ones where the owners/staff make a fuss of him 😉

One of my life’s ambitions is to live somewhere in the Peak District, in an amazing house with beautiful views, somewhere I can watch the sunset. Naturally I’m going to need either a hugely bestselling book (hint, hint) or a lottery win, so in the meantime I content myself with daydreams, and with writing the Peak District into some of my books.

The latest book of mine to include this stunning place is Love Through a Lens, a M/F erotic romance novella, which is included in the recently-released Sweet Sensations boxed set. I don’t remember how the story idea came into my head, but once it did, it wouldn’t let go. And so I ended up doing some research for the setting and the plot, and let the characters and their love story build up around that. I had great fun with it, and was completely enthused throughout – writing about places I’d been to, places I haven’t yet visited but have seen in photos, myths and legends I’ve read about, heard about… it was a real labour of love for me. The heat level is pretty low for my work, so I was nervous to send it to my beta readers, but fortunately, they really loved the story. I hope others will too, and that my love affair with the Peak District shines through and encourages those who can to go visit it. If you do, you’ll soon get my obsession 😉

Happy Reading!

Saturday Spankings #83 – Still, they were just fooling around… #SatSpanks

Saturday Spankings-467x200Hi everyone,

It’s time for another Saturday Spankings, which is where authors post eight-ish sentences of a spanking on their blogs. Here’s another snippet from my story, Doctor’s Orders, which appears in the just-released Brit Boys: With Toys boxed set.

Brit Boys: With ToysIt had to be, with a six-feet-four, deceptively strong Dom.

Still, they were just fooling around, and if Blake didn’t feel he was getting the right effect from the glove, he’d soon abandon it. So Aaron stood patiently, his nerve endings sparking and his pulse pounding in his ears, waiting for his lover’s next move.

Apparently, Blake wasn’t ready to give up just yet. He began snapping the latex against Aaron’s buttocks at as rapid a rate as possible. Miniscule blooms of pain covered Aaron’s skin, there and gone again in an instant, but somehow still contributing to his overall arousal. And as Blake got into his stride, the snaps grew harder and more focussed. It still wasn’t anything like a spanking, even a gentle one, but the quirky, novelty nature of what they were doing certainly appealed to Aaron’s adventurous side.

I hope you enjoyed that snippet! You can pre-order the book here. And then see the below list to hop to the other authors taking part…

Love on Location is up for Pre-Order! #gay #mm #romance #erotica

Hi everyone,

I’m delighted to announce that my M/M erotic romance novella, Love on Location, which was originally available as part of the Brit Boys: On Boys boxed set (and still is, if you prefer to bag the entire collection), is now available for pre-order as a standalone title. And won’t you take a look at this cover?!

Love on Location

Here’s a reminder of what it’s all about:

When Theo Samuels heads off to film on location in the village of Stoneydale, he’s expecting drama to take place on camera, not off. But when he meets gorgeous local lad, Eddie Henderson, he struggles to ignore his attraction. A relationship between the two of them would be utterly impractical, yet they’re drawn together nonetheless. Can they overcome the seemingly endless hurdles between them? Or is their fling destined to remain as just that?

Like the sound of it? Pre-order your copy here, and it’ll be delivered automatically to your Kindle on release day, 12th January 2016.

Happy Reading!
