| Erotica Roundtable Podcast is Live! |
Thought I'd start with something pretty to look at...'Dusk' by Alphonse Mucha.
I was invited recently to join a roundtable discussion about erotica and the erotica market, along with Bantams' current lineup of erotica authors: Stephanie Tyler, Larissa Ione (they write together as Sydney Croft, and are my Bantam anthology mates), and Louisa Burton. It was fun, a bit nerve-wracking, and I think ended up being a very interesting discussion. It's just gone live, and you can listen to it here!
I'm in another anthology coming from Berkley Heat next month. EXCLUSIVE is a collection of three erotic novellas by myself, Jaci Burton and Lisa Renee Jones. Jaci recently interviewed me, and you can read it on her blog. My interview is the August 23rd post, and you can read all about Lisa Renee Jones on August 25th. There's also an interview with my Bantam editor, Shauna Summers in the August 21st post, which is well worth the read!
We're almost to September and it promises to be an exciting month! I have three books coming out. My Berkley anthology, EXCLUSIVE, as I've already mentioned, will be out on September 4th, only a few days before my birthday, so I'll really have to celebrate! I'll have to post a bit about my novella in that anthology on the 4th. Next in line is Maria Isabel Pita's BEYOND DESIRE anthology of short erotic stories. I was thrilled to be invited to join in this project! My story is called SILENCE. These are all erotic paranormal stories-something a little different for me, and a lot of fun to write! At the end of September my second Bantam book, THE DARKER SIDE OF PLEASURE, will be out. This will make for a very busy month for me as I promote my new releases!
I'm working now on another novel about fetishes. The research has been very interesting, needless to say! My deadline on this one is December 1st, so I'll have plenty to keep me busy through the end of the year. More on that book later when I have a title confirmed.
I'm also in the midst of overhauling my website a bit-hopefully I'll have it completed in the next few weeks. I plan to add a press kit, book excerpts, and change some of the functionality. I still love the look of my site, so that will stay the same. You can check it out here.
Today my goal is to write 10 pages. I'm aiming for a minimum of 45 pages this week, so I'd better get to work! |

| Sherrilyn Kenyon Signing |
 So-I went with my friends Dana, Chi and Jax to see Sherrilyn Kenyon sign the other night at this very cool local bookstore called Dark Delicacies. The place is a horror/goth/dark paranormal bookstore. They have a pretty amazing collection of books, of course, but they also have lots of other fun stuff, including a whole shelf of purses, which we loved! A bit of shopping ensued.
 One interesting item we found was this magazine: Girls and Corpses. Yep. That's what I said. It even comes with a centerfold of a hot chick in a skimpy yellow bikini cuddling with a skeleton covered in bits and pieces of rotting flesh. Okayyyyy...
We were there for 3 hours-the line was insane-but one reason is that Sherrilyn always takes time to talk to each person, stands up to have her picture taken with anyone who asks. She's such a doll! She started the evening by standing on a chair and telling funny stories, then the store owner kept us entertained while we waited by raffling off a huge pile of T-shirts and other goodies. Fun!
What else has been happening? I just got the title for my Bantam anthology with authors Stephanie Tyler and Sydney Croft: Hot Nights, Dark Desires will be an August 2008 release, a three-novella erotic anthology with a story from each of us. Each story takes place in or around New Orleans, so think steamy, sultry Southern nights. There are a few other themes we each address, one of which is art. Anyone who knows me knows that art is one of my favorite topics-and this is my tattoo fetish novella, so I'm very, very excited about it!
Meanwhile, I'm working on Bantam novel #4, which is finally going well after a rough start.
I'm also planning some promotional events. I'll be at the West Hollywood Book Fair on Sunday September 30th with a group of erotica authors-should be a great time! And I'll also be doing a reading and signing with a bunch of erotica authors in San Francisco in October-details on both events as they get closer.
Okay-back to work!
