Amigos, Amigo-ettes, My novel and short stories will be free on Amazon until the 15th February. Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you enjoy! S xox
Short stories are back, baby (oh and, yeah, I’m still writing novels…)
Amigos, Amigo-ettes, I wrote a blog a little while ago letting you all know what happened to my publisher, the fabulous Secret Cravings. Turns out the world is a cruel, cruel place for small e-publishers as well as writers.
Five Seconds of Disappointment
What’s the shittiest thing about being a writer? Well, aside from the endless form rejections, it’s probably getting published only to have your publisher eventually cease operations and de-publish your work. Dudes, my good mates at Secret Cravings Publishing have run aground, it seems. The rights to my short stories My Ex’s New Lover and…
Talk: Daniel John’s drops a new album (and it’s absolutely majestic)
Previously, I’ve blogged about how much I love Daniel Johns, so it should come as no surprise when I say that: I. Am. In. Love. With. This. Album. After Silverchair went on an ‘indefinite hibernation’ in 2011, Dan apparently went on a four-year personal hiatus in which he experimented with music, didn’t leave his Newcastle…
This is not goodbye…
Amigos, I’m finalising the futuristic erotic novel. It’s turning into one hell of a monster epic of sex, adventure and babes galore (#BOOM). I’m concentrating on the editing (and being completely brutal with myself) so I’m taking time out from blogging for a little while. You can catch me on Twitter from hereon, pretty much…
New release: Sex and Chocolate
\ Available Saturday 16 August! Read an excerpt on the Secret Cravings website.
The Silver Fox
Amigo-ettes, sometimes a lady needs a man, not a boy who thinks he can. Enter, if you will, Mr Silver Fox. Model Stephen Ritts, photographed by the very talented Kevin McDermott. (Source: kevinmcdermottmen.blogspot.co.uk) Urban Dictionary defines him as ‘an attractive older man’ who ‘generally has gray hair and is often desired by younger women’. Looking at…
Where Did You Go To, My Lovely?
JL, The pleasure we found in each other’s flesh—your erotica was my erotica. We shared that. It was my choice as much as yours. You being male doesn’t change this. I wanted those heady moments too. Perhaps even more (than you). You did not dictate; I went willingly. Embraced each coupling. And when it was…
The Art of Doing Nothing
Fourth solo album from Mark Owen of Take That. (Source: wikimedia.org) One of the reasons I love shopping so much is that I quite often discover tres cool new music and musicians this way. The number of times I’ve had to whip out the BlackBerry to take down a couple of lines of a song…
White Lies, Big TV
Some months ago, I was standing on a Tube platform in London, waiting for a train to take me south west. I noticed a massive poster advertising what I would soon discover was the White Lies’ third studio album, Big TV. It was probably the cover art that drew me in, the astronaut. At the…
Tom Cruise, King of Hollywood
Cruise control. Tom Cruise looking mighty fine. (Source: mid-day.com) Listen, peeps, I don’t care what people say about Tom Cruise and his crazy church, the man is a damn terrific actor. He’s the star of so many of my favourite movies and does a bloody good turn in comedy (Tropic Thunder and Rock of Ages,…
My Pinteresting Obsession
Alek Wek in Dolce and Gabbana (Source: listal.com) from my ‘Couture #2’ Pinterest board. So, you’ll notice my last post was—what?—July? I know, I know. I’m terrible! My excuse? Pinterest. Oh. My. God. Let me tell you, folks, I can (and do) spend hours trawling the internet looking for the perfect pins for my…
Full Disclosure
Let me show you what I am also (2011) by Del Kathryn Barton. (Source: ocula.com) JL, Did you get my letter, sweetie? My thoughts of you, the way the very concept of you affects my emotions — it’s all there in my own cursive for you. Posting it gave me the slimmest…
Profile of a man: Balian Buschbaum
The Beauty of Balian. Macho, macho man Friends, what if I told you this delectable example of machodom was, in fact, born a woman? I can pretty much hear the sharp intake of your breath, can see the crinkling of your face as you peer disbelievingly at the picture above, convinced I’ve got it all…
Love | Unrequited
JL, Why can’t I just forget about you? Why can’t I control that part of my brain that’s so particularly obsessed with you right now? Not crazy-psycho-stalker-I-want-to-drink-your-blood obsessed, just I-think-about-you-a-lot-in-a-completely-longing-but-normal-way obsessed. Am I wasting my time, sweetie? Do you want me to forget you? I wish I could. I wish it…
Roberto Bolle.
Roberto Bolle and Mariacarla Boscono. (Source: Trendnista.com) Oh, for the love of… Is Italian stallion Roberto Bolle not the sexiest ballet dancer you’ve ever seen in your life! According to Wikipedia, he’s been dancing since the age of seven, and Nureyev was a fan. Bolle has been a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF since 1999. Following a 2006 visit to Sudan,…
Ladies and Gentlemen, Tom Cruise DOES have a sense of humour…
The Lip Sync Battle with Tom Cruise on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is The Greatest Ever. I love Tom Cruise. I love The Weeknd. I love Jimmy Fallon. Tom does The Weeknd’s ‘Can’t Feel Me Face’ which is the sickest tune around at the moment. The pair then take things home with ‘You’ve…
