Guest Blog: Victoria Blisse

I’m a Voyeur by Victoria Blisse

As a reader of erotic romance I count myself as a literary voyeur. I like to sit in the shadows and watch a person’s life unfold before me. I enjoy seeing the intimate moments wherever they might happen with no fear of being seen and reprimanded for watching what I shouldn’t.

So when the Wednesday Briefs gang decided to come up with some hot and steamy anthologies to showcase our slightly bigger briefs -that’s 3k short stories folks before your minds disappear elsewhere- the first theme we picked was voyeurism.

It’s a theme that has inspired a great variety of responses from our authors, 14 completely different stories in two anthologies in fact. All about people watching other people enjoying themselves. A lot.

New Release: Desperate Measures Edited by Elizabeth Coldwell

Desperate MeasuresI’m happy to announce another new release! This time, I’m appearing in an eBook anthology from Xcite Books, called Desperate Measures. My story is the title story, and it’s about a woman who was made redundant from her job and finds a very interesting way to earn a little more cash.

Here’s a snippet from the story:

Recession. Credit crunch. Inflation. Poppy was fed up of hearing the words. She didn’t need to keep seeing the news reports to know the depressing truth. She – and many other people besides – was broke. Before the financial crisis hit, Poppy had been doing just fine. Really well, actually. She’d had a great job as a project manager with a firm that worked with chain supermarkets. Granted, it meant there were occasional late-night phone calls she’d had to deal with, but the money had been good enough that the interruptions were worth it. The nice house, car, and luxurious holidays had also kept her smiling through the busy periods when she was ready to rip some incompetent contractor’s head off.

Unfortunately, money problems had affected everyone and made them tighten their belts, including the supermarkets. As a result, Poppy was out of a job. Various schemes she’d paid into over the years ensured that she still had a roof over her head, thankfully, but the luxuries she’d previously enjoyed were no longer an option.

Naturally, she’d thrown herself into job hunting as soon as she’d found out she was being made redundant. But people with her skill set and experience were expensive and companies were getting rid of expensive and not-absolutely-necessary people, not taking them on.
The monthly repayments on her mortgage were high and while she was on jobseeker’s allowance they were being paid for her. Poppy was no snob, but she couldn’t afford to take just any job because as soon as she became employed again, the insurance company would stop paying her mortgage. Therefore, if her new job paid a lot less than her previous one, she’d end up even worse off than she was now. Poppy had a serious dilemma. If only she could find a way to earn some extra cash while she was looking for a job, then she wouldn’t have to dip into her hard-earned savings.

One evening, as she surfed job websites looking for possible roles, Poppy sat back in her chair and sighed with resignation. Her search was proving fruitless, and it was really beginning to get her down. But then, as her gaze landed on the gadget hooked on to the top of her computer monitor, her eyes narrowed and inspiration hit. She snapped back to the screen and began frantically Googling. A little while later, Poppy’s genius plan was in action.

Raging for Uniform Behaviour

Uniform Behaviour: Steamy Stories About Men and Women in UniformWell over a year after its release, and Uniform Behaviour is still garnering brilliant reviews, yay!

Tamela Quijas of At Your Fingertips covered the anthology, and gave it five raging stars:

“Uniform Behaviour was a delightful series of 16 short and VERY scorching stories that centered on men and women serving the public, from waiters, priests, cooks, security guard, and even the seriously dedicated Queen’s guard. The 16 stories that form this wonderful erotica novel run from blazing hot reads that will make the blush, to delightfully sizzling tales that will curl your toes. A delicious read that will make you burn the candles late at night—worthy of 5 raging stars.”

This editor (and contributor) is happy dancing! ;)

Want to know more about this hot anthology, which as well as containing sixteen seriously sexy stories about men and women in uniform, also donates a percentage of the proceeds to UK charity Help for Heroes? Check out the book page here.
