New Covers, New Titles, Same Sizzling Paranormal Trilogy by K D Grace (@kd_grace) #erotica #romance #paranormal

I'd like to welcome my good friend and Erotic Trade Only Erotica Writer of the Year 2014 winner to highlight her re-release of the The Lakeland Witch Trilogy...

K D Grace’s paranormal trilogy has had a makeover! The covers have been redone, along with a slight upgrade in the titles to better reflect their paranormal romance genre. The novels themselves are still both sizzling and chilling. And now they’re all dressed up for the summer heat.

The Lakeland Witches Trilogy

Book One: Body Temperature & Rising

American transplant to the Lake District, MARIE WARREN, didn’t know she could unleash demons and enflesh ghosts until a voyeuristic encounter on the fells ends in sex with the charming ghost, ANDERSON, and night visits from a demon. To help her cope with her embarrassing and dangerous new abilities, Anderson brings her to the ELEMENTALS, a coven of witches who practice rare sex magic that temporarily allows needy ghosts access to the pleasures of the flesh.

Book Two: Riding the Ether

Cassandra Larkin keeps her ravenous and dangerous sexual appetite secret until she seduces Anderson in the mysterious void of the Ether.  Anderson is the sexy, insatiable ghost who can give her exactly what she needs.

But sex is dangerous in a place like the Ether…

When the treacherous demon, Deacon, discovers the truth about the origin of Cassandra’s powerful lust, he plots to use her sex magic for revenge on Tara Stone and the Elemental Coven, who practice their own brand of sex magic.

Cassandra must embrace the lust and sexuality she fears and learn to use its power. Will she stand with Anderson, Tara, and the Elemental Coven against Deacon’s wrath or suffer the loss of friendship, magic and love?

Book Three: Elemental Fire

Obsessed with revenge, KENNET LUCIAN makes a deal with a demon, a deal he comes to regret when he meets TARA STONE, head of the Elemental Coven, and a powerful witch with a desire for revenge at least as great as his. Even though the attraction between the two is magnetic and the lust combustive, Kennet must betray her to accomplish his goal, which is ultimately her goal as well; to put a final end to the demon, Deacon’s, reign of terror. But can Tara trust the man who has wormed his way into her heart and the heart of the Elemental Coven? Can she trust LUCIA, the demon with whom Kennet is allied, a demon with her own agenda. The path to Deacon’s destruction is far from clear, and the price that must be paid to be free of him forever may be too high, even for Tara Stone.

DEACON, the demon Marie has unleashed, holds an ancient grudge against TARA STONE, coven high priestess, and will stop at nothing to destroy all she holds dear. Marie and her landlord, the reluctant young farmer, TIM MERIWETHER, are at the top of his list. Marie and Tim must learn to wield coven magic and the numinous power of their lust to stop Deacon’s bloody rampage before the coven is torn apart and more innocent people die.

Author Bio:

K D Grace believes Freud was right. In the end, it really IS all about sex, well sex and love. And nobody’s happier about that than she is, otherwise, what would she write about?

She and her husband have walked Coast to Coast across England, along with several other long-distance routes. For her, inspiration is directly proportionate to how quickly she wears out a pair of walking boots. She also enjoys martial arts, reading, watching the birds and anything that gets her outdoors.

K D has erotica published with SourceBooks, Xcite Books, Harper Collins Mischief Books, Mammoth, Cleis Press, Black Lace, Erotic Review, Ravenous Romance, Sweetmeats Press and others.

Stockings!

Stockings!

This post has been inspired by 2 things – firstly Cara Sutra's gorgeous Fetish Friday post – read it here  – I too am a stocking lover, wearer and fetishist.

They are my ultimate garment

for making me feel confident and saucy – my favourite state :D There's nothing like being in a business meeting knowing that slight grip on your thigh is your lacy stocking top. I have hundreds of stockings – all in complete disarray. It takes me ages to find a matching pair and I collect them as I go.

I used to favour the traditional style with suspenders, I was a bit of a purist about it– but one day, I laddered my last one and had to use my reserve pair of hold ups – yikes! It always struck me that to have a band of elastic around the fleshiest part of your thigh would look unsightly – pale juicy flesh bulging over the top with even the most svelte of legs not getting away with it. And horror of horrors, what if they fell down unnoticed until they flapped about around the ankles being dragged through puddles like the white socks and sandals of childhood – I can still feel the weight and slap of wet socks hanging out through the toes of ill fitting footwear. Can you? Ugh! And so with reluctance, I pulled them on.

Wow – amazing! They stayed up beautifully and all day – and felt more secure than usual. I'm afraid I'm hooked.

One of the lovely things about wearing suspenders is that a trained eye will know you have them on – someone who knows to look out for those vertical lines over your bottom cheeks... So perhaps that is the one sacrifice of the hold-ups – the secret stays firmly with the lady ;)

Oh and I like big pants. Bring back the VPL – that is my mission! I adore seeing ladies bums in tight jeans with the knicker elastic sculpting a shape beneath. Bring back 70's bottoms!

To me, thongs are the worst!

Anyhoo – I must dash – the second thing that inspired this stocking post is that I'm off to the ETO to hang out with Lexie Bay, fly the flag for the Brit Babes and support my dear buddies Kd Grace, Kay Jaybee and Lucy Felthouse with their erotic writer of the year nominations! Good luck ladies x x It will be a stocking bonanza for the next 36 hours! Hooray :D

Tabitha's stocking rules:

Always seamed (I love both French and Cuban heel)

Always lace topped

Always suspenders over knickers

Always big knickers (or no knickers)

Always carry spares! (If this is not possible – a ladder can be tamed at source with a spot of nail varnish or in big emergencies, lipstick)

Always buy in bulk!

See you soon,

Tabitha x x x

Kay Jaybee & Kd Grace are at my Party!

Welcome to the Butterfly Party - celebrating a year of my erotic fantasy novel, A Clockwork Butterfly! (remember to read to the bottom or check links to your right for giveaways and offers)  

Today's amazing guests are the spectacular Kay Jaybee and Kd Grace - I'm so excited to hear their news I'm handing over right now!

"It's Our Party And We'll Laugh -A-Lot If We Want To!!"

Hi everyone, Kay Jaybee here, kicking off this joint party blog!!

Firstly- a huge thanks to the gorgeous Tabitha for inviting us to her party today! It is certainly party time for Kd Grace and myself at the moment! We have just returned from the annual ETO Awards (Erotic Trade), where we were both honoured to be nominated for Best Erotica Writer 2013!!!

It's an unbelievable honour to be nominated for such an award- but as Kd and myself are such good friends, and support each other all the way, it was dead weird to be up against each other! Especially as our erotica is so different from each other's!

Up against EL James and Sylvia Day (who you might just have heard of!!), and the brilliant Rachel Krammer Bussel (Cleis Press), we went into the show with a certainty we wouldn't win, but a determination to laugh and laugh and laugh- and boy did we!!

With the ETO Show in the afternoon, Kd and I joined the wonderful Hazel Cushion, head girl at Xcite Books, to sign copies of our books, and chat to our fellow writers, nominees, and fans (yes- we actually have fans- I’ll never get used to that!!). Then, with new dresses in place, stupidly high heels on our feet, and a glass of vino in hand, we were escorted by our wonderful partners to the party itself.

And wow- our determination to laugh the evening away really took no effort at all!! How could it not when awards were being handed out for best lube and best dildo?? Let's face it- this is some amazing world we're part of!!!....

So- who won the best author award then...over to you KD!!!

AND THE WINNERS ARE … Kay Jaybee and K D Grace!

Oh, someone named E.L. James nabbed the ETO award for best erotic author, it’s true, but Kay Jaybee and I were the real winners in so many ways. First of all, we had the fantastic experience of meeting fans we didn’t know about at the ETO trade show and of making new connections and new friends while seeing all kinds of innovative new sex toys, lingerie, games and other totally cool stuff. Secondly we won because so many of our dear friends won, friends who’ve helped promote us and shared our work. Sh! Women’s Store, Lovehoney, Nice ‘n’ Naughty, Cara Sutra, and our very own Xcite Books were among the winners. How could we not catch the celebratory mood?

After the awards banquet, we won even more with the chance to connect with old friends and make new friends; with the chance to talk writing and plan and scheme new stories with Xcite’s MD, Hazel Cushion; with the chance to find out the latest from Lovehoney – including how popular our novels are with their customers. We won by having our lovely blokes there to celebrate with us. And we won just because we were THERE at ETO, admiring the gowns and PVC finery, drinking fizz and celebrating all things erotic with all the other lovely folks doing the same. When we finally toddled off to bed in the wee hours, we especially knew that we’d won from all the fantastic love and support we received from our dear friends and fabulously talented fellow smutter’s and Brit Babes and all others back home.

I mean we really, really won! Thanks everyone! We love what we do and we love sharing it, and the ETO awards banquet was just one more chance to celebrate what we love! Oh yes! We most definitely won!

We both wish Tabitha’s fabulous novel, A Clockwork Butterfly, a very, very happy first birthday!

Kay and KD xxx

Just let me fangirl a little... phew and swoon! Thank you for coming on over ladies - sounded like SO much fun at the ETO - huge congratulations to you and Xcite :)
