Sunday Story - in print

at QBD Bookshop

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Last weekend we went up to the footy but we made a detour to some bookshops so I could find the Housewives and have a photo with them :)

I know, it's kind of silly, but I was in a book on a real shelf for the first time.

at Target

I was one of eleven in the book.

I can't wait until it's my very own book - I guess that'll be a while yet! LOL

The Housewives are at Target, Big W, K-mart, and selected bookshops. The bookshop had it for $15.99 and Target for $10. But I had to hunt around for it. My local shops didn't stock it (we're a prudish town!)

Sunday Story - Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives

Release Date: 1st March 2015

Lana is in print!!!

The lovely people at Harlequin have bundled the 11 Sydney Housewives up together and launched us into print, in one gorgeous glossy book.

We'll be out in Target and Big W, selected Dymocks shops and other booksellers, on 1 March, for (I think) $15.99.

I've never seen a book I'm in, live in a bookshop, so I'll be a lot excited to see this...I might even take photos :)

No idea how they'll sell...but it has to help that the 50 Shades movie is out now (I hope!).

Good luck, girls!!

Phallic Friday - the next housewife is out!

The next Housewife is out and she's Sienna.

I haven't read Sienna, so I'm looking forward to it.

Here's the blurb:

Sienna knows that she’s got a good thing going with her boyfriend, Charlie. He’s attentive, loyal, and seriously hot. When he sets Sienna up with a very unusual gift, she’s both shocked and intrigued. But she’s worried as well – accepting Charlie and his gift will test all of their limits and the strength of their relationship

Phallic Friday - the humbler

Cathleen Ross in her story, Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives Nella, introduces the humbler. Nella is a Domme to Michael's sub - and this play allows Michael, a gazillionaire and property developer, to relax after a busy week at work, giving his complete trust to his wife.

In this story, the humbler is used as a tool largely for humiliation. It can also be used as a restraint and/or a tool for extra arousal. Really... the possibilities are endless :)

So...what is a humbler? There are some websites with some incredible pictures but they are very graphic so don't go looking at work or with kids. This website, Femdom Resources, has a great collection of images.

It's basically a contraption (metal usually) that is locked around the base of the balls (like if your fingers encircled the flesh close to the body, above the testes). There are 'wings' coming from there that fit around the back of the thighs, under the buttocks. So, you place it at the back of a man's thighs, then lock it tight above his balls. The balls hang down, exposed.


This keep a man on all fours, as he can't extend his back or legs without pulling on his scrotum with the metal pressing down on his balls. It also has the man's butt exposed, and if you're into anal play, your man is trapped and exposed for you. It's also perfect for slapping or whipping butt cheeks as well.

The humbler... makes your man humble...and Nella uses that to her complete advantage, spending up on her husband's corporate credit card! The secret life of the very rich :)

If you need an image, let me know and I can burn your eyes with one :) I just didn't want you to have balls in your face on a Friday!

Sunday Story - multiple partners

Don't forget to pre-order Lana! She's out on Thursday!

How do you feel about multiple partners? Not in real life, but in your fiction? I find them really really hot. I had a binge on Kaliana Cole when I first ran across her stories - she has a town, Liberty Springs, where multiple partners is the 'norm' and a woman can live with a bunch of brothers or a couple of friends. Sometimes they marry one, but all live harmoniously together.

Most multiple partner stories don't have all the partners participating with each other, but those that do really heat my blood. Rhiannon Ayers has one story, Demons Within, that I read recently and the two men interacted with each other as well as the woman they both loved.

I think multiple partners is such a hot topic for me because it's in the realms o
f fantasy. I'm not really sure that I could physically handle too much attention! But thinking about it, writing about it, is really fun. I like that there's multiple dynamics, many things happening at once, and lots of people to consider.

I'm thinking of going down the M/M/F line for the next book I start. I'm hoping I can pull off some hot male-male sex with a delicious heroine involved.

I'm a little scared about juggling three people - not just the sex, but the emotional content too. I'm not really sure that I believe people could juggle the jealousy aspect in reality...but in fiction, I hope I can work through that somehow.

Anyway, on to multiple partners...just as soon as Tam and Jared get their act together and she learns to give great head!

God, I love this job!!

Meet My Characters - blog hop

I was invited by Lisa Ireland to join a Blog Hop, introducing people to the characters in our books. You can read about Lisa's new story here - it's not out yet but let me tell you, it's a great rural story (I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek!)

Here's the draft blurb for Lisa's new story:
With rumours about her personal life splashed all over the Internet, writer and celebrity, Johanna Morgan, uses her best friend’s wedding as an excuse to escape New York and head home to Australia. All Jo wants is some peace and quiet, but with her ex-boyfriend, Ryan Galloway, unexpectedly back in town, suddenly Linden Gully seems anything but sleepy.
 
Ryan has thought about Jo every day for the past seven years, but it’s not just his heart at stake anymore. He has his six-year-old daughter to think about. He can’t risk Ella’s happiness, even if that means sacrificing the love of his life.

Phallic Friday - Virginia

Virginia, the first of the Sydney Housewives stories, came out yesterday. Did you get your copy?

If not, you can find where to buy it here.

Rhian Cahill is the author of the first episode of the Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives series.

She was one of the organisers of the first conference I attended in RWA - the Claytons conference in 2008. She hadn't yet been published but she was close. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching her career take off. She's exceedingly generous and I've learned a lot from her.


Rhian mostly writes gritty, contemporary erotic romances. I think Virginia is a great start to this series.

Have you read Virginia? What did you think?

Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives LANA

From the hottest writers in Australia comes a scintillating new series. Enter the world of Sydney’s elite, and find out what goes on behind the doors of the most exclusive addresses in the country…
 

Meet the Housewives of Sydney. They are wealthy, elegant, poised, and constantly in the public eye. But what goes on behind closed doors, in the private homes and parties where the cameras and paparazzi aren’t welcome? Delve into the most personal details of their relationships, their friendships and their lives. The only question is: can you handle the heat?

Lana lives her life by her own rules – and she has very few. What she wants, she goes for, and she very rarely fails. So when a young, handsome waiter at her favourite restaurant catches her eye, she has no hesitation in asking him to escort her home. But one night of passion opens up exciting new possibilities, and a chance for Lana to enact one of her deepest, most elicit fantasies. 

Today is the online launch of this series. Each book will be released fortnightly, starting the 6th November with Rhian Cahill's Virginina. Lana will be out next, on the 20th November 2014, but before then you'll be able to get lots of information...

Starting with the Escapades Blog. Check it out here: http://escapepublishingblog.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/reveal-secret-confessions-sydney-housewives/

A Little About Lana
Lana is one of the older members of the Diamond Dinner Club. She's an actress, made famous in a soapie, but she's worked hard to earn her fame. Now she's where she wants to be, she can indulge in her passions, one of which is young men...or toy boys as others so rudely refer to them. For Lana, they're never a toy. She loves the passion of young men, and how quickly they can undress.

A Little About Me
This project was exhilarating but challenging. Exhilarating because I'd worked with most of these writers once before and I learnt so much from them. I was thrilled to be involved in another project. Challenging because I'm one of the 'babies' on the group in terms of writing, plus I'd never written anyone like Lana before.

I loved this project and I hope you'll love Lana.
