Good News Friday - UPAuthors Award winner and more!

Hi! I've had a bit of a hectic week, so I thought I'd share the highlights before I go off to celebrate! Hope it's been a good one for you too - have a great weekend wherever you are and whatever you're doing :-)

My first bit of good news....I'm thrilled to say that 'Good Enough to Share' can now be called Award Winning!
In the recent UP Authors Erotic/Romance contest (UPAuthors.com) it was awarded Runner UP in two different categories - Best Title and Best Chapter.

Secondly, have you seen the new cover for 'Forfeit'?
I love the new look that Xcite Books have come up with - very sexy and intriguing. What do you think? I'd love to know :-)

So, why the new look? Well, part of the reason is that 'Forfeit' is now available in print. This is my first single title to come out as a paperback, so as you can imagine I'm pretty excited (a bit of an English understatement!).

You can already buy a copy direct from Xcite (click here), and it will be more widely available later in the year.

I also had a brief moment when I could have kissed the postman yesterday (okay, it was brief, I got over it pretty quick!) because he brought this! Excuse the picture quality, but I snapped as soon as it was out of the wrapper :-)
My novella 'Freefalling' was written for the Secret Library collection, and is one of three stories in 'Masquerade'. The other two are by the brilliant Elizabeth Coldwell and Poppy Summers. Each story has also come out previously as an individual e-book, and the collection is available as an e-book as well. But, wow, it feels so good to hold a paperback containing one of my stories! I do love e-books, but I also love a physical book I can hold (and I'm stroking this one too!).

Then, mid-week I discovered that the 'Serviced, Volume 1' anthology from Breathless Press is going to be released on 1st March - a week earlier than expected. You can already pre-order from Breathless Press if you want to make sure you're one of the first to read my short story 'Taking Command' and of course the other nine sexy soldier stories!





And, to complete my week of good news, I've just signed a contract for 'Spice It Up' with Xcite Books. The novella will be part of the Secret Library collection. If you've been reading #sexysnippets you will have already met my sexy Spaniard - if not, there will be more teasers coming soon!

#SexySnippets - Seven from my Sexy Spaniard!

Happy Sunday everyone! I've decided to stick with my Sexy Spaniard again, it gives me an excuse to sit here daydreaming about Antonio Banderas, mmm I like this picture.

So here's another (unedited) seven sentences from 'Spice It Up'!

‘You’re keen.’ Her tongue darted out, slick over her top lip and he suddenly realized that keeping control was going to be much harder than he’d thought, the first shag had barely touched the surface of the raw need that was vying for escape.

‘Keen doesn’t get close, querida.’ He was between her legs, his hands grasping her hips so that she couldn’t squirm, his mouth nuzzling against her before pulling at her knickers with his teeth. 

She whimpered and he gave up, pulled her panties down roughly with one hand and paused inches away from her swollen lips. He blew a line of cold air down her slit and the moan finished him, he leant forward and as his tongue sought out the sweetness of her juices she gave a little sigh, a sound that he’d been waiting for. His tongue delved deeper and he could already feel her pussy grabbing, throbbing gently with need, he sucked on the tight bud of her clit, circled with his tongue and drank her in as she twisted in his grip, her thighs parting wider than ever to let him in.

I'm off to check out all the other SexySnippets now, hope you'll join me!

#SexySnippets - Spice It Up!!

Happy Sunday everyone! Massive apologies - this post should have been up hours ago, but I've been having a weekend of techno hell, so hopefully better late then never....

These seven sentences are from my current work-in-progress 'Spice It Up'...


The gentle chuckle reverberated through her body, and then he had her wrists in his hand pulling them above her head.

“Slowly querida, we don’t rush the good bits.” His thumb brushed gently over the skin at her waist and she groaned. “You like that?” He bent down briefly and sucked on the soft skin, which was worse. Tons worse. She liked it so much that her nipples tightened to hard buds and her pussy started doing a dance all of its own. 

It's still cold here, so I'm off to check out the other SexySnippets - which I'm sure will warm me up!
