“I Kissed A Girl” Anthology Released Today!

I kissed a girl

 I Kissed a Girl: A Virgin Lesbian Anthology      

You’ve heard Katy Perry’s hit song, now read enticing stories of heterosexual women exploring new boundaries. College dormitories become breeding grounds of inquisitive minds and libidos with roommates discovering desire for each other as they relate past experiences, undress in each other’s presence, seek refuge from a storm, discover a dildo or share men. Continuing life’s path, ingenious women find ways to enhance marriage or the workplace. Champagne cellars, riding stables, tanning salons, even historical English bedchambers become hotbeds of lesbian experiments. Converting or not, all embrace the journey of sexual exploration.

Warning: Stories contained within this anthology may elicit arousal, regardless of sexual persuasion.

The official sell copy, ladies and gents, for this brand spanking new anthology released today, August 27th, by Ravenous Romance! I’m proud and pleased to have my short story CHAMPAGNE (soon to be released as a full-length novel) included.  It also contains A TIGER’S TALE, the debut story of new Ravenous author Kilt Kilpatrick.  Oh, heck, it contains lots of lovely stories by talented authors and I’m just gonna list ’em all below:

Freckles by C. Margery Kempe

Two’s Company by Louisa Bacio

Champagne by Inara LaVey

Get Thee to the Nunnery by Samantha Jones

Ravenous Announcements!

Champagne

1. I am happy to say I finally finished my novel CHAMPAGNE, which will be released in the near future by Ravenous Romance under my pen name Inara LaVey.  If you’ve been following my posts here and on Facebook, you are no doubt familiar with my grebbling miserably over my inability to finish this particular project.  Well, WOOT!!!!   It’s done!!!  At least until line edits. 🙂

 2. Tomorrow is Ravenous Wednesday on Un:Bound, featuring RR author Dawn Jackson.  Dawn shares her creative process and answers the age-old question ‘Where do you get your ideas?’  Please join us – the post is a hoot and it’s always fun to hang out with Adele and the gang at Un:Bound on Ravenous Wednesday!

3.Thursday is the release date for the Ravenous Romance anthology I KISSED A GIRL, edited by the lovely and talented Regina Perry.  I know I said I’d do a proper post on this topic several days ago, but schedule and out-of-town visitors made me decide to do the announcement properly on the day of the release.  In the meantime, sneak preview of the cover!

Awwww, I am adored!

Well, nice!  Check out my review from the BookWenches, one of my favorite review sites out there!  And NOT just because they give me good reviews.  Please go check out their site for fun reviews, author interviews and other nifty stuff!

Being part human and part succubus pretty much sucks. No long term relationships; no staying in one place for very long. Lil draws her energy from sex with men, which leads to the men not being able to get enough of her, and the last thing she wants is to kill them with her libido…or theirs. A day at the carnival just might change all of that. One sexy carnie named Damien might have a surprise of his own.

********

Succubusted is short, sweet, and to the point. I loved the story and I loved the characters. The humor is delightful and makes the story pop. The sexual fun is combustible and not to be missed. Ms. Lavey paints a picture with wonderfully descriptive words. Her knack for storytelling is unique and addicting. My only complaint is that I wished it was longer; I wanted more.

How can a person not just adore Inara Lavey? She has a fabulously quirky sense of humor, and she never fails to make me giggle. Inara…MORE!

Me again!  Tomorrow I will be posting info on I KISSED A GIRL, a new, soon-t0-be-released anthology from Ravenous Romance.  I have a story in it (the original short story version of CHAMPAGNE, my soon-to-be-finished-and-released novel for RR), as does my favorite Irishman, Kilt Kiltpatrick!  It’s edited by the fabulous Regina Perry, author of PLAYGIRL amongst other things, and…well, more on this tomorrow.  Look for links on my sidebar for all of the authors included in I KISSED A GIRL as well and please visit their websites and show ’em some love … as soon as I get those links up!  Today, I hope.  I’ll also be previewing the cover for IKAG (I loves my acronyms, I does…) tomorrow.  

A few weeks ago I posted about ROCK, PAPER, TIGER,  Lisa Brackmann’s upcoming book with Soho Press.  Click here to see the cover for RPT, truly one of the best covers I’ve ever seen….

Ravenous Romance Day at Un:Bound with Amber Austin

Yes, it’s another Wednesday over at Un:Bound.  Our guest author today is Amber Austin, author of TAROTICA, one woman’s sexy journey through the Major Arcana.  It sizzles, it seethes and it’s a hell of a lot of fun!  Today Amber (who also writes under the name Skye Alexander) is discussing the importance of writing and reading during a lousy economy.  Please head on over and join the talk!   As per usual, I am hosting under my other identity, Inara LaVey.
