by Madelynne Ellis I have a thing about Asian Men. I would wax lyrical, but I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Cheekbones, kohl, all those slender, fine features. Seriously, what's not to like? And have I mentioned I'm very fond of dark flowing locks on men? Couldn't resist a teeny bit of the red stuff. Must be the influence off all those triad movies I watch. And I

Our Guest Blogger today is Donna George Storey, author of Amorous Woman. There's a great competition in the post, so read on to win a copy of her sexy Japanese based book. Once a land of inscrutable mystery, Japan is no longer especially exotic to Westerners. Who hasn’t sampled sushi and saké? Or fallen under the spell of manga, Nintendo, or at least one of those cool Miyazaki animé films?

by Janine AshblessIt's going to be a week of mystery and revelation here on Lust Bites.On Monday we will be in the mysterious East (okay, I know, shoot me - but I needed a segue). Our friend Donna George Storey, author of Amorous Woman, will be here and with a little help from Jeremy Edwards (!) will be telling us all about those Japanese Love Hotels with the themed rooms.

I knew I had become a real writer, not when I was first published, but when I was first asked where my ideas came from (I knew I was a real erotic fiction writer when I was first asked if it was all based on ‘personal experience’, a joke whose sell-by date proved shorter than a carton of milk in July). In this instance, when I was asked about The Pride, my first Black Lace book, the answer

What was the stupidest idea her over-active imagination had come up with recently?

So if you're lusting for some heat, the best we can offer you is HIM. Over there. On the right. ----> In the sun. Without the umbrella. With his shirt off. The lucky, lucky bastard...

I have often wondered how my fellow writers come upon their ideas for their novels. Do they perchance just have a flash of inspiration, or is it far simpler than that - maybe a particular person, a book they read, or a TV show or movie they watch fires their imagination and helps them formulate a plot for a new book. With me it is often a visit to some ancient historical site that sends my

Yes, I've been watching Prince Caspian. Hot centaur action!! (Sadly, Narnian minotaurs are a bit too fuzzy and animalistic for my taste.) But back in what passes for the real world ...

I hope you're all primed and ready for today's post. If you've been following along at Lust Bites, you should be champing at the bit by today. As long as there've been movies, there've been stories of older women and younger men. Who knows? Maybe even before movies!

Disclaimer type thingy: This is of course how I approach the subject. I’m not an expert, I just write books. Other people write books in different ways so of course, your mileage may vary and all that jazz. I like writing ménage books. Still, they’re certainly not all I write by any stretch. Only five of my novels are full ménages (as in – the relationship focus is on a triad). There are reasons

by Olivia Knight Masses of thanks to everyone who deluged us with their pithy, hot haikus for the Midsummer Erotic Haiku Competition. Predictably, with 87 poems to choose from, the judges waved wine glasses and shouted a lot, but we agreed on a few things. Firstly, that erotic haikus should... • be formally impeccable • condense as much as possible, without wasting a single syllable • suggest

Fireworks are for sale all over Canada right now. This is because Canada Day, July 1, is right around the corner, but I like to think it’s because the release date for Amanda’s Young Men is July 3, (although the book is available now on Amazon.co.uk) and Canadians everywhere are eager to celebrate. OK, so the release date is for the UK only and, according to the information I have at present,

I adore letters. I bewail the loss of stationery; heavy crinkle edged, watermarked and perfumed: the fountain pen, even the pencil. Pressed flowers and tear stains. There’s something very visceral about actual letters, perhaps it’s the time they take to write, the fact that they can’t be amended without heavy crossing outs or destroying the work one has put into them and starting again. There’

I admit it, I have a thing for the hyper-masculine man. I like warriors. Hard, big, rough, a bit feral even. I can see the beauty in a man with eyeliner but he does not flip my switch in the same way a man, gleaming with clean sweat, broad shoulders blocking the sun as he towers over me, can do. However, don't worry, I'll be back next time with a tribute to the pretty men who make life better by
