Blog postFound some beautiful colour in a town centre shrubbery when I ventured out this morning. This was a bit of an expedition for me, as winter and fibromyalgia aren’t a good mix and I very rarely sally forth from my burrow.
But as it was fine and dry and not too cold, I pushed myself and decided to go into town to pay in a cheque and collect a prescription myself. Bit scary, as it’s been weeks/months since I’ve done this.
The cherry on the cake though was that I decided t -

Blog postBELOVED NEMESIS is my latest self published release, out this week.
It’s new, but it’s not absolutely, completely and entirely new because a version of it was published almost twenty years ago, in print, by a British publishing house. I was going to release it as-is, as a sort of period piece, but when I came to read through it I saw ways I’d like to change it, and update it… so I did!
Don’t get me wrong, I was proud of the original version, and I loved it. But it was -
Blog postAt long last, here it is, the fourth instalment of my SECRET PLEASURES series. I meant to publish this ages ago, but circumstances seemed to conspire against it. Health, crises of confidence, changes of direction with the story, they've all delayed a release that should have happened not just months but years ago.
Anyway, here's the blurb... and my massive, abject apologies to those who've been waiting HER LOVER'S SECRET. I hope you enjoy the love story of Rachel and Lawrence, their -
Blog postLast Thursday, 15th March, our dear little cat Mindy died suddenly. It happened super quickly and she probably didn't know what was happening and had no time to be frightened. When I found her, on the bedroom floor, she looked peaceful and her pose was relaxed.
We miss her terribly. She was sweet, affectionate and good-natured. Perhaps the gentlest and cuddliest cat we've ever had. We adore her surviving brothers, Mork, Felix and Prince, but they are very different personalities, so -

Blog postI've bundled my two menage romance novellas POWER OF THREE and TEMPTED BY TWO into one steamy love triangle anthology! So if you enjoy stories where one woman falls in love with not one but two gorgeous men, and you haven't tried either of these stories before, this is the collection for you.
It's also a bargain to buy these two vacation set tales together! ;)

Blog postHere are DELICIOUS PLEASURE and DELICIOUS PAIN posing naughtily on the pink pouffe in the Dumpster Office of Doom!
DELICIOUS PLEASURE is a collection of short fiction devoted to general sensuality and naughtiness, while DELICIOUS PAIN features stories and short novellas devoted to BDSM and erotic power play.
I hope you like the covers that I designed myself. They're simple enough, but I think they turned out well.
Here are the buy links for Delicious Pain < -
Blog postThe print edition of my super steamy, super length novel WILD IN THE COUNTRY is here!
Very pleased with the result as I designed the cover myself. The gorgeous stock image makes it, of course. Perfectly captures Flora in dreamy soft focus.

Blog postThese arrived this morning!
They're my author copies of a Spice Briefs anthology that's been published in Japan. I don't know what the antho is actually called though. Maybe a Japanese speaker could help? But it includes my story Second Time Around, from my Risque Reunions trilogy. Other authors in the antho include Megan Hart and Jackie Barbosa...
I always get a kick from translations! Love to think of people reading my stories in lands so far away... :) -
Blog postI've been foofing about with Createspace, and making print copies of some of my self published work. Some time ago, I published a print copy of Lessons and Lovers, with a beautiful cover by Croco Designs, but in the last week or so, I've gotten experimental and started making my own print covers and interior files, using Photoshop and Vellum. A fantastic YouTube video from Elizabeth Ann West really helped me gain the confidence to try making covers.
Of course, the crunch will come w -
Blog postWell, after a long, long wait and years of being unavailable, WILD IN THE COUNTRY is finally published again!
This is my saucy country romp novel, and it’s a bumper one, over 300 pages. It’s been slightly edited, to highlight a growing romantic relationship, in and amongst the general sex high jinks, and deliver a more clearly defined ‘happily ever after’.
Here’s the blurb:
Welcome to the naughtiest little village in England!
Flora Swain is a newcomer to the village -

Blog postI'm currently working towards self publishing this older title of mine, WILD IN THE COUNTRY. And this cover perfectly expresses my vision of Flora, the heroine. When we were discussing ideas for covers for Wild, my buddy Saskia Walker mentioned the dreamy sensuality of the old Cadbury's Flake television adverts, and that really inspired me! With that in mind, I was lucky enough to find this image fairly quickly on a stock site.
Although WILD IN THE COUNTRY has been published before and edi -
Blog postThis is my latest release under my alter ego pen name, Delaney Silver. My Delaney books are a bit edgier, a bit racier and more explicit than my more recent Portia Da Costa books. They're self published titles, short stories, mostly, that were originally published at a time when I wrote erotica that was meant to be read by men *and* women... or even couples together!
Delaney stories are mostly kink-based, with the emphasis on themes of BDSM, femdom, and f/f etc. There isn't a massiv -
Blog postA Pretty Weird Bloke is my latest self published release. It's a bit of a shortie, but hopefully weirdly sweet in a kinky BDSM sort of way. If that makes any kind of sense... why not give it a whirl? LOL
Here's the blurb...
Nikki thinks she’s found the perfect man in the form of her handsome, sophisticated work colleague David. He’s intelligent, funny, and a devastatingly desirable Alpha male in a traditional and slightly old-fashioned English way.
But even though she knows tha -
Blog postA TOUCH OF HEAVEN is my sensual paranormal romance novella about a gorgeous, mysterious stranger who entrances a forty-something woman who's beginning to have doubts about her own attractiveness. Patrick is house-sitting next door... or at least that's what Miranda hopes he's doing. If not, he's the most handsome, delectable squatter she's ever set eyes on!
TOUCH was originally published by Samhain Publishing a few years ago, but now I've self published it and it's available again a -

Blog postMy sensual contemporary romance, FAR FROM PERFECT, is being given a new lease of life, courtesy of Entangled Publishing!
To celebrate, it's available at a special low price of 99c/99p until 27th August 17. Anna and Nick's story is pretty hot stuff, though I say it myself, but if you buy it this week you get it both hot *and* cheap! -
