Reviews – the negative and the positive by Lily Harlem

Be they good or bad reviews are part of the territory when you’re an author. I am happy to say that the vast majority of reviews for my books are positive and this completely thrills me to know readers have enjoyed my stories.

One book however seemed to create a bit of a Marmite effect. People either loved it or hated it. It is a free short read that came out at Ellora’s Cave a couple of years ago called Stockholm Seduction. It is about a Penny Tipping, the British Foreign Ministers daughter, enjoying a gap year in Australia and she is kidnapped by a hunky surfer…

I love watching Hustle, the UK TV series. The show centers around a group of con artists. Albert Stroller has to be one of the greatest characters ever, played by the incomparable Robert Vaughn. When my husband sat me down, he told me, “Vaughn is one of my favorite actors because he has this ability to deliver a line like it just popped into his head.” I also watch White Collar and Leverage and of course Law and Order. Other awesome series I love to watch are Spooks, Life on Mars, and one of my favorites, Psych.

Think of your favorite story from childhood and invariably along with the characters you remember the setting.  Where a story takes place can be just as important as the plot and characters.  When I write, the setting often becomes one of the characters.  In Blood Avenged, the great city of New Orleans helps to give the story a dark and spicy feel.

I was fortunate to be able to do on-site research for Blood Avenged when I attended the Anne Rice Vampire Lestat Ball last October.  I’d always wanted to visit The Big Easy, and right after I began plotting the story, I found out I’d be attending the ball on Halloween weekend, a great time to visit New Orleans.  Immediately, I knew I had to chance the setting to that incredible city, and my visit there showed me I’d made the right choice. Each scene in the book that takes place in New Orleans includes a location I visited and enjoyed.

Cooking Up Trouble by Elizabeth Coldwell

Writers are always being told they should write what they know. The idea is that setting a story in a place that’s very familiar to them, or giving a character a profession they might have worked in, will give the story more authenticity, and cut down on their research. Well, my story in the Secret Library collection, Traded Innocence, deals with the relationship between the two stars of a Saturday morning TV show, and while I’ve never been a presenter, I’ve appeared on quite a few programmes in my time, which has given me a glimpse into the not-so-glamorous world behind the scenes. And though the heroine, Morgan Jones, may be many things I’m not – Welsh, with long, dark hair and voluptuous curves – she loves to bake, as do I. There’s something very soothing about mixing, measuring and beating, and it gives me the opportunity to think about plot points while I’m whipping up a batch of scones.

I loved writing ‘Silk Stockings’ for this fabulous new collection, ‘The Secret Library,’ and Michael and Imogen were such lovely characters to develop.  My fans will probably find this a bit of a departure from my other work.  For some years now I’ve been writing mainly erotic fiction.  However, I’ve now come out of the closet under my romantic fiction name of Constance Munday, having been pressed over the last year or so to come clean, so to speak – find my voice and tell everyone that yes, I’m a romantic novelist too.  I do hope my loyal fan base will enjoy this new me, although don’t worry I’m still writing, sizzling hot pure erotica too.

My First Gay Story by Victoria Blisse

So, I’ve been around the block a bit, I’ve been writing erotic romance for ten years and published for the past 6 and there’s not much I haven’t written. I’ve got ménage, werewolves, a whole host of vampires and a Djinn but I’ve never written an m/m story.

Until now.

I’ve got my very first gay story in Wicked Watchers: Looking at the Lads which is the first m/m anthology from the talented Wednesday Briefs gang.
