Release Day: Confessions

OK, actually Confessions of a Greedy Girl released yesterday, but I was stuck in the hospital with no internet access, so as far as I'm concerned it's today.

Right, now I've cleared that up, let's get to the book which is a 40K novella about vivacious twenty-something, Lyssa Payne, who just happens to like men so much, she doesn't see why she should have to stick to loving only one.

This book moves a way from my normal style a little, as it's told in first person from Lyssa's point of view. Also, since we're on the theme of naughty confessions, I thought I ought I'd share a few of my own, and to make it a little more fun, how about I ask you to spot which two of them are outright lies  :) Winner will receive a ebook from my backlist.

So, here goes. If anyone else has anything they need to get off their chests, then feel free to do so in the comments too.

1. I once turned down a threesome. (Actually, I may have turned down two :))
2. I have finished writing AGW3. I'm just sitting on the manuscript.
3. I was naked when the editor phoned to tell me my first book had been accepted.
4. The local social security/welfare agency once told me I could sleep with any of the 5 men I was sharing a house with, as long as I didn't cook any meals with them.
5. My current work in progress features characters called Spook and Rock Giant.

Plus, don't forget to check out CONFESSIONS OF A GREEDY GIRL.

One Man is not Enough.

Fun-loving, twenty-something, Lyssa Payne enjoys being the center of male attention. Rather than commit to a single lover, she has an arrangement that allows her to play with a whole host of men. However, the dynamics of Lyssa’s relationships abruptly change when she meets enigmatic artist, Victor Alexander.

Victor enforces a strictly no touch policy between them, compelling Lyssa to be ever more inventive in her bid to bed him. The stakes further rise when she discovers Victor has a gorgeous male lover. Why should it be hands off for her, but hands on for actor, Leif? Worse still, as her fascination with Victor deepens, Lyssa’s other playmates desert her. What exactly is a greedy girl supposed to do to win the hearts of the men she desires?

Sneak Peak at Confessions...

Here's the draft version of the cover for my April release, Confessions of a Greedy Girl. I think you can probably guess from the girl depicted that her appetite isn't for cream cakes. What Lyssa likes, is men. Lots of them... Although, as it turns out, maybe what she's really seeking is that one special guy. More on that soon.

Oh, and Confessions of a Greedy Girl is due out in two weeks times, so fingers crossed for it getting a little release boost.

Her Husband's Lover Release Day

Finally, I feel as though I've been waiting a while on this one. However, I'm pleased to announce that Her Husband's Lover is now out and available to download. Those of you who have read some of my previous titles will know that Lord Darleston has cropped up in a couple of those titles now. He always fascinated me as a character, so I'm delighted that I can finally share his story.

Darleston is a complicated man. He's married to a scheming bitch he's never loved and has hurt him badly. His best friend, the man he's loved for years has just got married, and society hostesses are shunning him due to rumours about his sexual peccadilloes. Then along come Lyle and Emma Langley... Nine years ago, Lyle was Darleston's first love. They were separated and punished by their families, but it's soon apparent their affection for one another remains. Meanwhile, Darleston is also drawn to Lyle's wife, and curiously she returns that interest. Curiously, because Emma is completely touch phobic. She avoids ALL physical contact, and she has her reasons. I hope you'll choose to share their story and seeing how this little triad find happiness. And if you do, please let me know, or consider posting a review.

Emma Langley abhors physical contact, consequential she’s shocked to her toes when she realises she attracted to one of her father’s guests. Robert, Lord Darleston is like no other man she’s ever met. He’s flamboyant, charming and terrifies her as much as he arouses her. Nor is Emma the only person caught under his spell…

Forced into an arranged marriage to avoid exposure as a sodomite, Robert Darleston has a reputation as a rakehell and a voluptuary. His wife is a bitter, scheming harpy, whose rumor-mongering has already driven him from London into the heart of the English countryside. Here, fate unexpectedly reunites Darleston with his former lover, Lyle Langley. Torn apart by the intervention of their families, the primary barrier to their reunion is now Emma, Lyle’s wife, a woman Darleston is fascinated by and has no wish to disrespect. All seems hopeless, that is, until Lyle admits that Emma is frigid and their marriage unconsummated.

Darleston proposes a plan… If he can just win Emma over, then maybe they can find happiness as a threesome. Old ghosts, a jealous wife, and an outraged father stand in his way.

The HHL Cover Reveal

I've been nervously anticipating the arrival of the cover for Her Husband's Lover. I always have a moment of petrified angst before I click open on a new cover art. Thankfully, I'm pleased to say that on this occasion my fears were unnecessary. The Avon/Mischief team have done a wonderful job. Look at him, isn't he enticing. That tag line is awfully teasing too.

Anyway, Her Husband's Lover is available later this month, 21st March 2013 from all the usual stockists. Links provided below.

Darleston was beautiful. Not in a dandified fashionable sort of way, but in a beastly way... Any woman with a modicum of sense would be a fool to fall for him.

The Next Big Thing Blog Hop

What is a blog hop? Basically, it's a way for readers to discover authors new to them. I hope you'll find new-to-you authors whose works you enjoy. On this stop on the blog hop, you'll find a bit of information on me and one of my books and links to four other authors you can explore!

Thanks to fellow author Kyoko Church for inviting me to participate in this event. You can click the following link to learn more about Kyoko and her work. Website: http://kyokochurch.blogspot.com.au/

In this blog hop, I and my fellow authors, in their respective blogs, have answered ten questions about our book or work-in--progress (giving you a sneak peek). We've also included some behind-the-scenes information about how and why we write what we write--the characters, inspirations, plotting and other choices we make. I hope you enjoy it!

Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts and questions. Here is my Next Big Thing!


1: What is the working title of your book? 

The title is Her Husband's Lover, and I totally love it because it sums the book up so well. I also adore the fact that it can be read in different ways, but that even then it works in terms of the story. I do like titles to work on multiple levels, even if I'm the only person that ever realises that.


2: Where did the idea come from for the book?

Lord Darleston is a secondary character who turned up briefly in Phantasmagoria and then played a more significant part in Three Times the Scandal. He's a character that I've always been drawn to and enjoyed writing about because he's a complex figure. Certainly in the aforementioned books he presents a very rakish, debauched, yet aristocratic image, but this is largely a front for a whole host of personal issues he has to deal with.

By the time we meet Lord Darleston in Her Husband's Lover, his reputation and social standing have already taken a severe knock. He's very conscious of that fact, and wary of making the situation worse, while at the same time desperate to be himself... and be loved as himself.

So, essentially, I wanted to give him a chance of that.

I'd been thinking of writing about a married couple for some time, and this seemed the perfect opportunity. Then, the moment Emma flinched in the opening scene over her sister's skirt brushing against her, I knew it was going to be a bumpy ride.


3. What genre does your book come under? 

Historical or Regency Erotic Romance. It's also a menage, which is my very favourite thing to write.

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

I have no idea, but I'm open to suggestions once people have read the book.

5: What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

One sentence - really! I think maybe the title says it all.

6: Is your book self-published, published by an independent publisher, or represented by an agency?

It's published by Mischief Books, which is a sub-division of HarperCollins, and it's out on the 22nd of March 2013


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

The book took me around six to seven months to write. I don't really divide things up into first and second drafts as I edit myself as I go along, not moving forward until I'm sure things are how I want them. All I really do at the end is go back and tidy things up, sometimes adding scenes or changing the odd thing around.


8: What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?

I'm not sure there are many books out there that are all that similar, but I suppose the nearest things would probably be Kate Pearce's House of Pleasure series or Samantha Kane's Brothers in Arms series.

9: Who or what inspired you to write this book?

Probably not what you'd expect. The first inspiration for Lord Darleston came from the video for Mizerable by Gackt. The setting, however is inspired by several properties that I've visited, including Shugborough Hall, and Field House, in Shropshire which is owned by the Landmark Trust.

10: What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?

Dastardly deeds, love, mayhem, boxing, a heroine with a touch phobia and a whole lot of merry misdeeds.


Below you will find authors who will be joining me by blogging, next Wednesday. Do be sure to bookmark and add them to your calendars for updates on WIPs and New Releases! Happy Writing and Reading!
