Official Release Date For Stately Pleasures!

I’m happy dancing around the room this morning, as it’s the official release date for my debut novel, Stately Pleasures! It’s been available on a few digital outlets for a little while, but from today you should be able to order the paperback, too, and bag the Nook edition and also purchase directly from the Xcite Books site (which means I make a little more cash per copy!).

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

Alice Brown has just landed her dream job. Property manager at Davenport Manor, a British stately home. It’s only a nine-month contract to cover maternity leave, but it’s the boost up the career ladder she so desperately needs.

Unfortunately, things don’t get off to the best start, when Alice finds her boss, Jeremy Davenport, in a compromising position. Far from being embarrassed by what’s happened, Jeremy turns things around on Alice and makes her out to be the one in the wrong. So when he and his best friend and head of security, Ethan Hayes, then throw an ultimatum at her, she’s so stunned and confused that she goes along with their indecent proposal.

When the dust settles and Alice has time to think about things, though, she realises that perhaps it isn’t such a bad thing. There are worse things she could be doing to advance her career, after all.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your hands on this kinky ménage now: https://www.lucyfelthouse.co.uk/published-works/stately-pleasures/

Also, just to let you know that Best Bondage Erotica 2014, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel, is available early. The eBook edition is available worldwide, and it looks as though US folks can get the paperback now, but UK folks will have to wait until March. This sexy anthology contains my story, Clipped, and marks three years in a row that I’ve been in Best Bondage Erotica – I’m so happy about this. Hopefully I’ll get in next year, too! 😉

Happy Reading,

Next up is my second m/m piece (don’t worry, there’s more in the pipeline), Garden of Eden, a BDSM erotic romance. It appears in the HIS: Manlove Edition anthology from Evernight Publishing, coming 15th August:

Strength. Power. Experience. There’s nothing like a man who knows how to get what he wants, both in and out of the bedroom. And these dominant alphas want nothing more than to please and possess the men they love. No kink is too risqué as these men ensure their lovers never want to be anywhere but under their command.

Come and find out how good it feels to be HIS.

Watch this space for buy links, etc, when the book’s released.

On the 23rd August comes my first novel. Sort of. I co-authored it with Lily Harlem, so it’s half mine. Grand Slam is book one in the Raw Talent series – a series of sports romance novels. This book is a BDSM erotic romance, with a hero to die for. We’ll also be doing a blog tour with this book, so keep an eye out for that:

California had seduced me with promises of a new life working at Los Carlos Tennis Academy. What I didn’t expect was the dark, brooding number one seed, Travis Connolly, resisting my help. He wasn’t interested in my psychology skills. Instead his attention was drawn to the edgy, sharper corners of my desires, proving that they existed, setting me challenges and driving me crazy to the point of combustion.

I’m the best tennis player in the world—officially—so why would I need a damn woman full of psychobabble to get me on form? Despite my irritation, however, I can’t resist pushing Marie Sherratt’s buttons even though doing that shows her the darkest shades of my lust, the parts of me I buried deep. So I set her a challenge, one she rises to, one that has me rising too, and before long my game relies on her calling the shots, hitting the target and bending to my will. One thing was certain, being not just master of the court, but also of Marie is seriously good for my soul.

On the 20th September, my Rubenesque erotic romance novella, Mean Girls, is released. I love this story – it was so much fun to write. And the hero’s a total hunk, too.

Adele Blackthorne is a big girl, a curvy chick. She knows it, and she’s been picked on all her life because of it. But she’s gotten to the stage where she doesn’t care. She may be Rubenesque, but she’s healthy, too. Much healthier than the mean girls at the leisure center that point and stare and say spiteful things about her. Adele rises above it all, and simply enjoys her secretive glances at the center’s hunky lifeguard, Oliver.

As the bullying of Adele becomes worse, Oliver finds it increasingly difficult not to intervene. He doesn’t want to get into trouble with work, but equally he can’t stand to see Adele treated in such a horrible way. Especially since he doesn’t agree that she’s fat and unattractive. He thinks she’s a seriously sexy woman, and would like to get to know her better. Much better.

You can pre-order this from Amazon already! https://www.lucyfelthouse.co.uk/published-works/mean-girls/

As for updates, well, I sold my first novel, Stately Pleasures to Xcite Books. I’ve signed the contract and hopefully it’ll be released towards the end of the year. I’ve also had my short story, Clipped, accepted for publication in Best Bondage Erotica 2014!

Also, Smut Alfresco had an awesome review from Erotica Revealed, where my story was chosen as the favourite. Whoop!

I’m sure there’s more, but I’ve forgotten in the excitement. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because the very fact I’m excited is excellent 😀

Novel News and an Update

Soooo… I’m happy dancing like crazy here, as my first ever novel (not including the one I co-authored with Lily Harlem), Stately Pleasures, has been accepted by Xcite Books. Woohoo! I literally just got the news today and just signed the contract, so I’m sharing it with you all first.

Stately Pleasures is a BDSM ménage erotic romance. It tells the story of Alice, a young woman who goes to work in a stately home. The owner of the home is super hot, as is his best friend, the Head of Security. They’re both kinky, too, so when they want Alice to join them for some smutty games throughout the house and grounds, she has no idea what she’s letting herself in for…

That’s not an official blurb or anything, just a little info. I’ll divulge more information closer the time. In the meantime, I’ll continue dancing around like a lunatic.

Also, I had news that Testing Tom is now releasing on the 23rd July instead of the 30th, which is fine by me. The sooner the better 😀 Keep an eye on this page and my social networks for the links when the book goes live. Very excited about this hot femdom novella, too!

Happy Reading,

The Next Big Thing

Okay, the idea of this blog hop/meme thing is that an author answers the questions below in a blog post, then tags some other authors. Those authors do the same thing, and the hop goes on. So basically, we’re dishing the dirt on our WIPs! Love it! 😀

So, here goes…

  • What is the working title of your book?

Ah, yes, titles. Well, no laughing, because I’m no good at titles, but it’s Stately Pleasures. It’s an erotic romance set in a stately home – and it’s the best I’ve come up with so far. Oh dear…

  • Where did the idea come from for the book?
I’m not too sure, to be honest. I absolutely love visiting stately homes and castles and things, so I suspect it came from that side of my brain, which then melded with the naughty side and came up with a ménage tale set in a Manor.
  • What genre does your book fall under?

Oops, think I’ve already answered this one. It’s a ménage erotic romance.

  • What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

Two hot men, one Rubenesque woman = a ménage made in heaven. Wow, that’s pretty good considering I just came up with it on the spot!!

  • Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?

It won’t be represented by an agency, but I don’t know whether it will be self-published. I’ll be sending it around to various publishers when it’s complete, and hopefully one of them will take it. But if not, I definitely wouldn’t rule out self-publishing.

  • How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?

I can’t really answer that, as I’m not finished yet! All being well I should be finished my first draft in the next couple of weeks and I think I started in early September. So around three months, I think. That’s not including the planning that went in beforehand.

  • Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

Well, that’s easy. Throughout, I’ve had Jeremy Renner and Jared Padalecki as my male muses. Jeremy Renner is Jeremy Davenport, the owner of Davenport Manor. Jared Padalecki plays his best friend and also Head of Security, Ethan Hayes. For the lead female, I haven’t really had anyone in mind, but Melissa McCarthy would be pretty good! 😀

Jeremy Renner 2012.07.15 NerdHQActresses Melissa McCarthy and Jane Lynch attend Audi and David Yurman Kick Off Emmy Week 2011 and Support Tuesday's Children at Cecconi's Restaurant on September 11, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.

  • Who or What inspired you to write this story?

I’ve wanted to write a novel for a long time, and when this idea popped into my head and I realised there was enough mileage for it to be a novel, I went for it. And once I started, I knew I wouldn’t stop until it was finished.

  • What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

What, if they’re not already hooked by the country house, Jeremy Renner or Jared Padalecki? Perhaps the fact that Alice, the lead female, is put through a series of  kinky tasks in her time at Davenport Manor – and enjoys being submissive.
