I Anen’t Dead
Sorry about that, my powder sugar angel puppies, but I had to go to England for a couple of weeks for a wedding. Yes, I know, my life is so hard.
But I’m back, and still plugging away on Behind the Iron Cross, which now stands at 41,792 words and is pretty much heading into the final stretch. Now I’m starting to get into the nitty gritty backgrounds on some of the characters, and frankly I’m putting some of them through hell, which makes me feel a bit guilty (and I’m not even talking about Friedrich getting freaky with Kat and Sam). I’m one of those weird writers who wishes she never had to do anything bad to her characters, that they could live a life of perfect happiness. Unfortunately, perfect happiness is boring to read about, so I have to ovary up and throw the kitchen sink at them once in a while. Usually they find a way out of the issue.
Usually.
Anyhoo, I’m going to be completely insane and use the first book in my Olympic Cove series as my Nano novel (yes, I’ll be working on two books at the same time, plus my side job and getting stuck into the massive amount of gardening and cleaning that needs to be done around this place. Sleep, what means this word sleep?). Stay tuned — it’s going to be interesting.
Thank you SO much for celebrating with Evernight!
I’ve just sent the list of everyone who left comments to Evernight for their Birthday Blog Hop grand prize drawing, and the winner should be announced very soon. As for my own giveaway, I just fished out the slip of paper with the name of the winner for MIND AND BODY, and that person is…
*drum roll*

NSFW Snippet: Behind the Iron Cross
NOTE: if you’re looking for the Evernight Birthday Blog Hop post, it’s here!
Since it’s Tuesday and I’m feeling downright productive, I thought I’d post another snippet from Chapter Two of my novel Behind the Iron Cross (or as I like to call it, “1920’s Berlin, BDSM, and MMF menáges — oh my!”).
The story so far: In 1923, American heiress and secret Domme Katherine “Kat” Tracy and her fiancé/beard Sam Hellman are in Berlin on business and enjoying the city’s decadent nightlife. When they go to the Cupid Club and meet Colonel Friedrich von Bader, a decommissioned German Army officer reluctantly working as a prostitute to support his widowed sister-in-law and ill nephew, the sparks fly…
Welcome to the Evernight Publishing birthday blog hop!
Evernight Publishing opened its doors two years ago. In those two years we’ve signed over one hundred and sixty authors and published over three hundred books.

Hey there, folks, it’s Nicola. Since my first story with Evernight won’t be out until Christmas, my prize offering will be a copy of Circlet Press’s erotic SF anthology Mind and Body, with my cover design.

Day Two of winning fabulous prizes, people!
Happy 2nd birthday to Evernight Publishing! And to celebrate, they’ve whipped up a scorchingly good scavenger hunt. Today’s hunting ground is Sizzling Hot Book Reviews — go forth and hunt!
This is what I love about having friends all over the place
I can find out that one’s going to Berlin, ask her to take pictures and do a bit of research for me, and when she says yes I can offer jokingly to Tuckerise her in Behind the Iron Cross (except that it’s a smutfest, I inform her, and she probably wouldn’t go for it), and when she disagrees and says that yes, she’d love to be immortalized as a kinky chanteuse, it inspires an entire scene in the book that not only promotes the industrial espionage subplot but also leads to one of the most deliciously filthy sex scenes I have ever written.
So, yeah, thanks, KM!
