Sixteen years of sexiness!
Dearie me, this blog has been horribly neglected of late. Look at the dust! Actually, don’t look: distract yourself with this tired and beautiful man instead. The photographer is Rick Day, one of my favourites.
I’m stopping by to say I’m guest blogging at Justine Elyot’s gaff today. Justine’s debut short story collection, On Demand, is the last book to roll off the Black Lace press as the imprint bows out with the end of 2009. This month, Justine’s been running a series in which readers and writers share their thoughts on what Black Lace has meant to them. Today it’s my turn.
I hope you’ll join us there and raise a glass to sixteen years of sexiness!
I’ll dust next year, promise. I’ll also try and find my blogroll. It vanished! I can see it behind the scenes but I just can’t get it up in the sidebar any more, so apologies for the missing links. But you didn’t notice anyway, did you? Because he is very lovely.
Happy new year and wishing you all a wonderful 2010!

I write erotic fiction about sexually submissive women who like it on the dark, dirty and dangerous side. My novels are published by Black Lace (Ebury) and my short stories appear in a range of anthologies, including several “best of” collections, in both the UK and US. I’ve written non-fiction for publications such as The Guardian, The Sunday Times Travel, The International Business Times (God knows how I managed that one), and more.
I’m currently (2018) on a massive erotica-writing hiatus which may turn out to be permanent.
I live in Brighton, a coastal town in the south east of England, often referred to (but never by me) as ‘London-by-the-sea’. Brighton is the setting for my controversial and most popular novel, Asking for Trouble. Check out some reader reviews here.

Have a hot and happy new year!
I wish you a Happy New Year and a replacement publisher.
Heralding the sustainable sexiness economy!
Thanks, Pierre. I am hatching plans …
And raising a glass to Jeremy’s SSE!
Cheers everyone!
Oh, he’s so pretty. But he looks a little like he’s growing a vagina on his stomach, somehow…
Here’s to new ventures, Kristina.
Jo, that is too weird! But yeah, his abs are a tad over-defined. He needs to go to the gym less and lie on sofas more where I can see him.
Yay, Happy New Year, Kristina! Here’s to sixteen more years of sexiness. More than sixteen would be even better!
As a young adult, the Black Lace books were some of my first “serious” readings of erotica. These books were written with style, passion, and frequently with the “beautiful distress” that blurred the line between danger and desire. Books like DARKER THAN LOVE, WHITE ROSE ENSNARED, and ELENA’S CONQUEST remain some of my favorites to this day!
i just typed in rick day into google and i wish you had prepared me for so much nakedness. pages of naked men.lovely
Caz, yes, you can’t go far wrong with a Rick Day google. He has a very distinctive, soft-toned style. Lots of sports jocks too. I like!
