Champagne and Luxury

Two more Xcite e-books that include my work are now on the market:

Blame It on the Champagne contains "Open Bottle Policy":

While the car ascended with a soothing whir, Becky broke the silence. “I don’t know if this was strictly necessary, according to the open-bottle rules. But I am going on break ... and I can do whatever I like on my break.” She stepped closer to me. “Whatever I like,” she repeated. And she reached forward and tapped my chest, ever so briefly.

And A Little Bit of Luxury contains "Half Measures":

I never did learn exactly why Millicent showed up at my place with no pants on at 1:30 in the morning. I had a general idea, of course, of the type of evening out that might have resulted in this scenario. But I still don’t know any of the specific details.

Sunday Somethings

Something #1:

I'll be drawing the winner in the Erotica For All Rock My Socks Off giveaway tomorrow morning (Monday, Sept. 27, GMT-5). So as of this typing, there's still time to enter!

Something #2:

This coming Thursday, September 30, is the day Rock My Socks Off officially becomes available in North America! I'll be blogging on or around that day to post retailer links (as soon as they become available) and present my special offer whereby hasty—er, I guess I should say speedy—RMSO purchasers will earn a free JE e-book.

Something #3:

Speaking of JEs, the "other JE," Justine Elyot, has a new book out! Congratulations, JE!!

Something #4:

A few more gems from The Endangered English Dictionary:

kalon (KAL-on): beauty more than skin-deep

Despite sounding like a detergent or a character from Superman's home planet, this word appeals to me.

lingible (LING-i-bul): meant to be licked

The EED illustrates with the phrase "some lingible name labels." Yeah. Name labels. That's exactly what I was thinking.

And remember, if your jactitation is keeping your bedmate awake... it only means you have a tendency to "toss and turn." ; )

Chance to win your socks off!

Drop on by Erotica For All this week for a chance to win a copy of Rock My Socks Off! We're featuring a short excerpt in which a character says things he doesn't intend to while making a speech; and you're encouraged to recall (or create) other such incidents.

You can also visit The Erotic Woman to read a vintage Jeremy story called "If We Were..." This piece references both Michelangelo and the Marx Brothers—something for everybody, right?

Thanks, TEW and Lucy "Erotica For All" Felthouse!

Doing Impressions

This new e-book from Xcite contains my story "Impressionism," in which an art exhibitor exhibits her exhibitionism.

The LoveHoney Book Club once called this story "a fascinating piece of erotica"; they chatted with me about the tale here. The great Ashley Lister was also kind enough to get my impressions on my "Impressionism," in an interview that's archived here.

Big birthday blog-along!

I want to add my voice to a multi-blog toast to one of the kindest, deepest souls in all of blogland. Happy birthday, Danielle! You are sensitive, insightful, and wise beyond your young years, sir.

Shazam! It's Sharazade!

Shparking my moment!

Words

More tidbits from The Endangered English Dictionary:

heterophemism: a Freudian slip
hircosity: lewdness or goatishness; lust

Reinventing Foreplay

The UK Forum magazine has recently reinvented itself as Foreplay. And the third issue of Foreplay, which contains a story of mine, is currently in the hands of newsagents.

So off you go to coax it out of their hands, and into your own.

Spark My September!

Well, it's the first of the month (the first of this month, to be specific), and a brace of Spark My Moment reviews have appeared, respectively, at Erotica Readers & Writers Association and Erotica Revealed. Reviewers Ashley Lister and Steven Hart have certainly made me happy to welcome September into my life!
