Continuing my blog series of Excerpts, for which reasoning and explanation see the first post, with an excerpt from Swing Follies, the third story in my queer, polyamorous, Steampunk erotic romance series, The Ockham Steam-Works Laboratory Chronicles. Edward and Delia are giving the erotic swing a trial run when Sebastian enters the laboratory and realizes a unique feature of the contraption.

Today is release day! Or, more precisely, re-release day. Swing Follies was originally published in March 2016, ten years ago this month. The Steampunk short appeared in the 2016 anthology Naughty Lovers: Love Is In The Air, then was republished in the 2017 repackaged anthology Naughty Phantasia: Eighteen Fabulous Fantasies. This excerpt was originally published on the Naughty Literati blog in 2016.

Excerpts: Westerman Extended with Bonus

Posted on by

Continuing my blog series of Excerpts, for which reasoning and explanation see the first post, with an extended excerpt from my polyamorous Victorian erotic romance, The Westerman Affair. In this excerpt, our hero Charles is seduced by an unknown-to-him woman, who happens to be our heroine–and his eventual muse–Rosamund. Of course, the scene takes place in a library. I like to include sensual scenes in libraries in as many stories as I can.

This excerpt was originally published on the (now defunct) Residence 11 blog in 2021. It is an extended version of the excerpt I included with an interview for Gemma Snow’s blog. Continue reading →

Excerpts: Nicholas and Helena’s First Kiss

Posted on by

Prevailing wisdom in the indie-author world is that one should control one’s own content. Which means, an author should provide their own excerpts on their own website. So, in light of this wisdom, I am starting a new blog series of Excerpts, whereby I re-post on my own blog all the excerpts of my stories posted on other people’s blogs.

We begin with an excerpt from The Pleasure Device which was first posted on historical romance author Sherry Ewing’s blog in 2017 as part of her “First Kiss Friday” feature. I adore Sherry. She’s a wonderful person and an engaging author and has been so supportive of me and so many other historical romance writers. Continue reading →

Inspiration: Antiquities, Accents, and Together Alone

Posted on by

This is my Discovering Her Delight inspiration post. Warning! There are spoilers ahead for the book. If you don’t mind spoilers, read on. If you don’t like your romance spoiled, read Discovering Her Delight first!

An Initial Inspiration

I started the notes for Discovering Her Delight way back in 2014 (then known as Discovering Her Desire). I knew it was going to be a story centered on an archaeological expedition, I just wasn’t clear on the specifics. An archaeologist friend of mine had a bizarre idea: what if the hero had to write on the heroine’s back?

So I held on to that thought, and it continued to inspire the story. Why would he need to do this? Under what circumstances? And how would he do it in 1881? Continue reading →
