The Lady Smut Blog is unique among blogs. I can say that here, can’t I?
We are not a review blog, though we offer them from time to time. We are not all about promoting our work, either. I mean we do promote our work, but we are more than that. We truly try to stay on-message and deliver fun, incisive commentary. All of the LS bloggers bring to the table years of writing experience, blogging experience, and a variety of different publishing backgrounds. Some have MFAs, some have several degrees—that would not be me, by the way. But more than that, we all love to write. It’s what brings us to the blog, to this book. So it suits our blog and our brand to offer our writing in as many formats as we can, and more than that, the writing is why we blog.
So, one day, so blogger Madeline Iva and I were talking about stories we wanted to write. I had this idea for a vampire story that kept gnawing at me. She had an idea for s sexsomniac story. I said to Madeline, “We should do an anthology” and she said “Great idea. How do we do that?”
We put it to the other bloggers. We came up with a paranormal theme, and asked who had the time and who was interested. All were interested, but some didn’t have the time. Four of us went forward with the idea. (Myself, Madeline Iva, Elizabeth Shore, and C. Margery Kempe).
Since I have tons of experience putting together book proposals, I was elected to pull it together; Madeline helped. And I was pleased that my agent, Sharon Bowers, decided to represent us.
Within a few months, several publishers expressed interest and two offers were made. We decided on Harper Impulse because they very actively engaged with readers and writers online, which we all feel is very important—more now than ever before. We also love their covers, their website, their vibe—not the least of which we love being part of HarperCollins. Now we have this dark, delicious, very hot book of which we are very proud. Paranomal, edgy, and sexy. Just what we all need right after the Holidays, right?
