Want Some Smut and Magic?

Of course you do! And I’m happy to say that myself and my good buddies Victoria Blisse and K D Grace are going to give it to you. The smut and magic, that is.

We’re having a joint book launch at the wonderful Sh! Women’s Store in Hoxton, on the 27th October. The title of the event is a reference to the books we’re launching (and the fact it’s almost Halloween!).

Smut in the CityMyself and Victoria are launching the anthology we edited together, Smut in the City – hence “smut.” And K D Grace is launching her new paranormal erotic novel, Lakeland Heatwave: Riding the Ether – which is the “magic” part.

It’s going to start at 6.30, tickets are FREE and there will be readings of smut, champagne, cupcakes, biscuits, etc available to delight your taste buds. And the three of us (along with the super Sh! Girlz) are putting our heads together to come up with some awesome prizes to give away as a thank you for attending the event.

So, if you want to attend, just let the Sh! Girlz know by dropping them a line at shop@sh-womenstore.com, so they know how many people are coming. Don’t forget to tell all your friends – it’s going to be a fabulous night, and we’d love to see you there!

What a Weekend!

This weekend was always going to be a fun one. Two erotica-related events were afoot: the More Bang Reading Slam on Friday night at Sh! Portobello, and K D Grace’s book launch for Body Temperature and Rising on Saturday night at Sh! Hoxton. Sounds good already, right? Well, let’s just say it far exceeded expectations.

Friday

 

My OH and I dashed into our London hotel, got ready then headed out to Portobello, complete with delicious cupcakes (made by my OH, not by me). There was just time for a quick drink in the pub with Lexie Bay and her OH, then it was time for the main event! Hosted by K D Grace and Sarah Berry, the event had several aims:

  • To be a fun smutty evening
  • A way for several erotic writers and poets to showcase their work
  • To raise some cash for a worthy charity

Reading from Immoral ViewsAll these aims were achieved, and then some! Each reading was timed at five minutes, and woe betide any reader that should go over the time limit – Ms. Kay Jaybee was on hand with a spanking paddle to punish any wrongdoers!

We were treated to prose, poetry and performance from the following:

  • Kay Jaybee (a super rendition from her naughty anthology, The Collector)
  • Lexie Bay (a smutty yet humorous snippet from her story, Taken with Consent, from Uniform Behaviour)
  • Yours Truly (I read out a dirty bit from my story Caught in the Act, from Immoral Views)
  • The Dragon King’s Daughter (a super piece of poetry about masturbation)
  • Liz Coldwell (a yummy m/m snippet from her novella, Stranded in Paradise)
  • Annie Player (two poems – one nice, and one deliciously naughty)
  • Sarah Berry (a totally filthy rewrite of the old song, All that Jazz. I’ll just tell you she retitled it All that Jizz and leave the rest to your imagination. 😉 )
  • Janine Ashbless (a kinky snippet from her newly released vampire novel, Red Grow the Roses)
  • Ernesto Sarezale (a funny yet sexy poem read in his yummy accent, with some undressing thrown in – can’t be bad!)
  • Lynn Mann (who treated us to a deliciously dark reading from a friend’s work)
  • Meg Philip (a deeply naughty snippet from a true story – so good that she consented to be spanked just so we could hear what happened next!)

It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening, I got to meet some people in the flesh that I’d only ever corresponded with via email, and some completely new people. That, coupled with spending some time with my writing buddies, made for a splendid evening. And yet, there was more to come….

Saturday

 

After a day pounding London’s pavements, OH and I did another zip across London, got cleaned up at headed to Sh! Hoxton. Another sneaky drink was had in the Bluu Bar next door, before nabbing seats in the pink palace of Sh!, ready for K D Grace’s launch. And… what a launch! There was more fizz, more cupcakes (though unsurprisingly, the ones my OH made disappeared the night before – no leftovers!), goodies, and great company. Much of the crowd from Friday’s festivities were there, and my buddy Victoria Blisse and her lovely hubby also joined us – so it was a smut fest indeed!

K D treated us to several snippets from her novel, Body Temperature and Rising, as well as running a raffle, doing a Q&A and showing off some superb artwork – three artists had created pieces of work based on scenes from the book.

All in all, it was another successful evening. The Sh! Ladiez were awesome, the venue was fab and K D was signing books left, right and centre!

We then mooched over to a restaurant nearby to continue the festivities. Much chat and laughter ensued, but, as is always the case, time runs away with us and it was time to head back to our hotels for the evening.

I’m not quite as sad as usual to leave my writing buddies. Want to know why? Because I’ll see most of them again this weekend at Eroticon 2012! Let more smut and silliness ensue!

And there’s more!

 

Yes – it’s a wonder I haven’t exploded because on top of all that excitement, I’ve also had a super review of my spooky lesbian tale, Weekend at Wilderhope Manor, appeared on the FRONT COVER of Safeword Magazine and gained a silver star on All Romance eBooks for my new release, The Cottage in the Woods, as well as getting a fab first review of the same book!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to squeeeeee in the corner. Yes, I said squee. 😉

News, Reviews, Readings and Erotica!

Hey everyone! My site has been pretty packed just lately with the Noble Romance Authors Blog Tour (which I hope you’re following and commenting on – have you seen the prizes you can win? Pretty gutted I can’t enter!) as well as Weekend Dirty Dozen and Six Sentence Sunday stuff, so I thought I’d sneak on and give you a quick update with what else has been going on, and what’s coming up. Here goes…

I recently signed on as a contributor to Queer Magazine Online. I don’t have a set schedule so I’ll just be posting as and when, but I wanted to draw your attention to my first post. It’s called “Who’s Reading It, Anyway?” and poses a question that I’m desperate to have the answer to, so please head on over there and check it out: http://www.queermagazineonline.com/articles/item/6086-whos-reading-it-anyway-by-lucy-felthouse

I’ve also had some fab reviews just lately:

Love Through TimeLove Through Time

“Love through Time was a slow burn but this tale cackles with sexual energy throughout and you cannot help but feel for the great characters, the scene setting is fantastic and the passion will have you squirming this is one I’m sure I’ll be re-reading time and time again. One for the bookish babes who are tigers in the sack.” 5 out of 5, Erotic Whispers

*****

“Love Through Time is a cute little love story, with the promise of an HEA ending at some point in the future… I read it at Halloween, which seemed appropriate, but it’s a good story any time.” 4 out of 5, Manic Readers

Brick Dust & Bedsprings

“A very hot short story.  Marcus and Jamie are two hot hunks, they are supposed to laying pavement for a new drive. Instead they end up laying the lady of the house. A sexy romp that will leave you wanting to find your own hunky helper.” 5 out of 5, Getting Naughty Between the Stacks

*****

“This was a perfect read to pick up in-between reads, getting ready for bed, or when you only have a few minutes and you just have the urge to… read. Lucy Felthouse writes some great down and dirty goodies. Don’t miss this one.” – Daydrmzzz

Weekend at Wilderhope ManorWeekend at Wilderhope Manor

“The chemistry was off the charts….they didn’t keep their hands off each other from the offset and it is all incredibly hot! A sexy short with imaginative sex and a pair of frisky heroines. Definitely one to set you in a particular mood ;D” 4 out of 5, Scorching Book Reviews

Finally, I have a busy weekend ahead! I’m disappearing off to London tomorrow. Tomorrow night brings the highly-anticipated launch for Victoria Blisse‘s latest release, Tempting Rendezvous, which is part of a hot rubenesque trilogy! She’s asked me to be her special guest, so I’ll also be reading from some of my latest releases, including Seducing the Myth, which I will have print copies of for you to buy! Full details of the reading here.

Then Saturday brings the Erotica show at Olympia. There I will be doing a reading as part of Xcite Books’ reading slam, and also sitting on a panel which will be chaired by Jane Wenham-Jones. The other authors sharing the panel with me will be Kitti Bernetti and my buddies Kay Jaybee and Victoria Blisse (we’re so inseparable this weekend!). I’ll also be mooching around all day, with the aforementioned Kay and Victoria, as well as K D Grace, Lexie Bay and Rebecca Bond. Methinks it’s going to be a star-studded day at Erotica on Saturday! 😉 Come back on Monday for an update on the craziness!
