Join the Sh! Girlz for an evening of aural fun ’n’ frolics!

On August 6th, 2 of the UK’s top erotic authors will delight and arouse during this Pride-inspired erotica book reading.

Kay Jaybee is the author of the Fem Dom novel, The Perfect Submissive, and the erotic e-anthologies, Yes Ma’am, Quick Kink One and Quick Kink Two (Xcite), and the sexy paperback The Collector (Austin & Macauley, 2008), which features the adventures of a writer, forever in the pursuit of tales of sexual adventure.
As well as being a regular contributor to www.OystersandChocolate.com , Kay has a number of stories published by Cleis Press (inc Best of the Best Women’s Erotica 2; Best Women’s Erotica 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012; Best Lesbian Romance, 2009, Sweet Love), Black Lace (Sex and Music, Sexy Little Numbers), Xcite Books (Boy Fun, Ultimate Sin, Seriously Sexy Stocking Filler), Mammoth Books (The Mammoth Book of Lesbian Erotica), and Penguin (Oysters and Chocolate; Erotic Stories of Every Flavor), and Forum Magazine.

Details of Kay’s stories, past, present, and future, can be found at www.kayjaybee.me.uk

During Lucy’s first year studying Creative Writing at the University of Derby, she was dared to write an erotic story. It went down a storm and she’s never looked back. Lucy has had stories published by Cleis Press, Noble Romance, Ravenous Romance, Summerhouse Publishing and Xcite Books. Find out more at https://lucyfelthouse.co.uk/. You can also find her on Facebook and Twitter.

Kay will be taking on the boys (so to speak) as she reads m/m stories from her fab erotic story collection The Collector and also from Xcite Books’ Boy Fun anthology.

I will be dealing with the Sapphic delights (again, so to speak) as I read from Ravenous Romance anthology, I Kissed A Girl and my erotic vampire romance book Bite with Height from Noble Romance.

So if you’re in the London area, we’d love to see you! But remember, don’t RSVP to Kay or I – you need to contact the Sh! Girlz directly to book your space! (shop@sh-womenstore.com)

Readings and Reviews

Lucy Felthouse and C. Margery KempeLeicester Library was the place to be yesterday as there was an evening of smut! Yes, C. Margery Kempe and I took to the floor to read erotica in a library. Due to (we suspect) some prudish people not passing on information, the crowd was not large, but it was attentive – and you can’t ask for more than that!

Hoping to give myself some time to get over the nerves, I let (read: made) C. Margery read first. She entertained us with an excerpt from her erotic spy thriller novel, Chastity Flame. The fabulous humour and naughtiness had the audience eating from the palm of her hand and I must confess that the book has definitely made its way higher up my to be read list having heard juicy excerpts.

Next, I raised a few sniggers myself by reading a snippet from Fantasy Assignment, which features in my recently released collection, The Best of Lucy Felthouse. In my quest to avoid saying too many naughty words in public I read the introduction and stopped just before it got too saucy, but I’m hoping it left the story at enough of a cliffhanger that the listeners will go and search up the book to find out what happens next! I did, of course, reassure the audience that there was plenty of erotic action in the rest of the book.

A passage from fairy tale retelling Love Me Like A Reptile came next from Ms. Kempe. Another hilarious snippet of a story which raised some very odd questions about frogs during the Q&A…

We hadn’t planned it, but following C Margery’s paranormal tale was one of my paranormal tales, Bite With Height. I read the introduction to this f/f erotic romance tale set in Paris. I then left the audience on another cliffhanger.

A Q&A session followed – and the best part is it was all podcasted by the lovely Adele of Un:Bound Blogzine, who also arranged the whole evening – so a big thank you to her! 🙂 So as soon as I receive the file/s, I’ll be able to include here so you can have a listen for yourselves. But rest assured there was odd conversation about frogs, paranormal writing, getting turned on while writing and much more…

On another topic, I had the first review in this morning for The Best of Lucy Felthouse, and it’s a good ‘un! Sizzling Hot Books gave it a four out of five score, and commented:

“Overall, The Best of Lucy Felthouse is a great read. It has five stories all in different areas. It offers every reader a different tale of seduction or erotica. I would recommend The Best of Lucy Felthouse to erotica readers. Fans of Lucy’s won’t be disappointed with The Best of Lucy Felthouse.”

I’m happy with that! 🙂

Southern Adventures – Sextoys.co.uk HQ

The SexToys WarehouseIt was a hellish two hour journey which eventually ended up with me arriving at Sextoys.co.uk HQ in Luton. I know some of you are now wondering what on earth this has to do with the south, but it’s south for me! The reason I was heading to Sextoys.co.uk HQ is because the peeps there are interviewing various erotic writers (including K D Grace) to include on their fab website. I was asked, and in the spirit of doing things that scare and stretch me, I said yes.

I arrived at my destination feeling a little disgruntled and annoyed that I was a little late (due to roadworks and idiots crashing!), because I hate keeping people waiting. Luckily, when Cara and Ellie came down the stairs from their office to meet me, they didn’t seem to mind. They were happy and smiley and I immediately felt better, though still nervous about the fact I was about to be plonked in front of a camera.

An initial technical hitch ended up with Cara and I wandering around the room talking random gibberish into the mics to make sure everything was working OK. Then we chatted more sensibly to one another while Ellie finalised her set up. Then the show was on the road!

The GirlsCara quizzed me on my writing, existing and new releases, working techniques, erotica recommendations and more. I answered her questions, all the while remembering not to look at the camera, to keep smiling and to stop saying ‘erm’ all the time! Later, Ellie assured me that they’d be able to edit some things out, so hopefully I’ll come across as articulate at the very least. I heaved a sigh of relief when it was over (this is not a reflection on Cara and Ellie – I was terrified and hate being in front of a video camera), and Cara gave me a tour of the HQ, including their warehouses and offices, where I got to meet some of the other lovely people that keep the place running smoothly.

Journey aside, it was a fun experience and I didn’t really want to leave as Cara and I were having a nice chat. Alas, I had places to go, people to see, etc… so my adventure was over and now I wait with baited breath to see the ‘final cut.’ I’ll let you know as soon I do!

Thanks to Cara, Ellie and the guys at Sextoys.co.uk HQ for having me xxx

P.S. In other news, A Bit of Rough has now started rolling out to other eBook retailers, including All Romance eBooks and Amazon. Check out the book page for an up to date list of retailers.
