Hello! And thanks so much to the Smexy Books team for hosting me. I’m Sidney Bristol, tattoo addict, classic car fan, hockey enthusiast and erotic romance author. It’s no wonder that I write about things I’m passionate about. Last year when Ellora’s Cave asked for books that featured tattoos, I knew it was right up my alley—but I never expected that seed of an idea to give birth to a whole series! The So Inked series started with a germ of an idea. What if there was a tattoo shop of women, in Continue Reading
Guest Author Heather Hiestand
Heather Hiestand is here today to talk about her current release, Marquess of Cake. She introduces herself and interviews herself! So I can just sit back and relax with my cup of coffee…. Hi, I’m Heather Hiestand. I’m 43 and live in south Washington State with my husband and four-year-old son. Both of them keep me on my toes. Technically I’m a full-time writer, which means I mostly get to work when my son is at preschool. I first sold in 2004, a mystery short story, then sold my first novel in Continue Reading

Gazpacho Ceviche Sushi Vichyssoise Caesar Salad Ice Cream Sundaes Revenge SWEET REVENGE is the first book in my new historical romance series, NEMESIS, UNLIMITED. The men and women of Nemesis, Unlimited work Continue Reading
Author M.L. Brennan: The Trouble With Titles *Giveaway*
Earlier today Tori reviewed ML Brennan’s debut book, Generation V. Now she is here to give us more insight into her book and her trouble with titles. I can say without bragging that there are a lot of things that I do well in the writing process. I’m good with planning, I’m good at responding to constructive criticism and edits, and I’m good at keeping to deadlines. I’ll brag a little and even say that I’m pretty good at the writing itself. But there’s one big area that I’m not good at – Continue Reading
Guest Author Megan Frampton and Giveaway
I’ve got a book out now titled Hero of My Heart, and it’s a Regency-set historical about an opium-addicted Marquess suffering from PTSD and the illegitimate daughter of a vicar. Which sounds really rule-breaking, but it’s not so much, because they fall in love, and spend a lot—A LOT—of time together and yes, they find themselves naked and supine quite frequently. Yay. In writing it, I wanted to do something that would tease at the edges of propriety—the hint of class differences, drug abuse, Continue Reading
Guest Author Tracy Cooper-Posey
Margaret River – A Perfect Place to Get Lost Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is the most remote city in the world, at the southern end of the biggest state in Australia. Even further south, tucked away at the far southern toe of the state, inside a national park, is a small former timber-town; Margaret River. Because hardly anyone ever goes to Perth unless they actually have to – business, or family, usually – most of what Western Australia has to offer goes completely Continue Reading
Author Eden Winters: Series, Anyone? (Giveaway)
We are happy to have Eden Winters visiting Smexy today. Her second book in her m/m romantic suspense series, Collusion, just released. I’ve known some writers who know in advance that they’re going to write six serialized books. They outline, they plan, and then they write. I’ve never written a series. “What?” you say? Goodreads clearly shows that I have several series available: The Angel of 13th Street, The Match Before Christmas, and the Diversion series. And yet… I’ve never written a Continue Reading
Author Anne Calhoun: One Writer’s Balancing Act (Giveaway)
We are happy to have Anne Calhoun at Smexy today! From a “fresh and imaginative” (The Romance Studio) voice in erotic romance come the tales of two women, each daring to challenge the toughest of men…but in these edgy, heated encounters, the greatest thing she’ll risk is her heart. In Over the Edge, after a tragic incident during Ty Hendricks’ last tour of duty he cut off all connection with anyone he cares about—until a night with Lauren Kincaid draws him reluctantly back into the Continue Reading
Guest Author Shiloh Walker: Approach with Caution
Smexy Books is happy to welcome Shiloh Walker, who also writes under the pen name, JC Daniels. Five signs the author has had another epic binge at the keyboard, bleeding her eyes out, writing for 10-12 hours straight. 1. The whites of her eyes are no longer white…but brilliant, blood-shot red…it is unknown if this is because of eye-strain or because of what the characters put her through in this book. Sadly, the writer will pass this agony on to you, the reader. 2. There are bald patches on Continue Reading
