Happy Hogmanay!

Wishing you all a very Happy Hogmanay and lots of joy in 2015! 

For me, 2014 was the quickest year I have ever experienced! This might have had a lot to do with how exciting it was. 

Some of my highlights: (Please hover over any names for links to books and sites)

Watching my Brit Babe friends, KD Grace and Kay Jaybee being nominated for the ETO erotic writer of the year and helping KD Grace celebrate when she won! Good times :D

This might turn into a bit of a swim in lake me, but I feel I ought to really do a little round up :D

The release of the final two novels in my ClockworkButterfly erotic fantasy trilogy from Beachwalk Press. Huge love to the owner Pamela Tyner (and team) who is utterly wonderful to work with.

Whilst I didn't write a whole novel this year (which made me a little cross) I did manage to get a few short stories out and happened to
work with some of the most awesome writers I've ever met including:
The Brit Babes: Emmy Ellis, Grace Marshall, K D Grace, Kay Jaybee, Lexie Bay, Lily Harlem, Lucy Felthouse, Victoria Blisse

We produced a hot collection Sexy Just Walked into Town which you can download for free! Keep an eye out for a secret new project!

The 13 (dirty baker's dozen) involved in bringing the sexy chocolatey anthology Chemical se[X]  to life! Big mention and throbbing hard love to Oleander Plume for that! Here are the others who have also been fab to work with:

Annabeth Leong , CE Hansen , Dario Dalla Lasta, Ella Dawson, Exhibit A, F. Leonora Solomon, Jacob Louder, Jade A Waters, L. Maretta, Malin James, Oleander Plume, Tamsin Flowers

  

My story, made it into Written on the Skin  - an anthology exploring the erotic and body modification edited by Remittance Girl .

And lesbian short, The Shame made it into Lesbian Lust. 

I came out a bit too this year, casting aside my visual anonymity with an interview and photo in the EAN magazine! Yikes :D 

Writer’s block has had me grimacing this year so I have had to find other ways to use up the creative energy including videos

and paintings.

I took part in Exhibit A’s Sinful Stories and because of the block, made a little film for that. It is part of Molly Moore’s amazing Sinful Sunday project  – check it out – I’m hoping to get braver this year and join in more – it’s a fabulous visual treat every Sunday.

And finally, I’ve been working on an invention to enhance certain experiences but it’s top secret so I’m hoping to share more about that this year. Shhhhh…

I’ve been lucky enough to meet some incredibly awesome people this year, thanks to the internet, ETO, Erofame, and Eroticon where I met loads of people mentioned already and the fantastic Vida Bailey. The world of Erotica is a friendly place indeed.

I had a lovely visit from Jaye Shields who came to stay in my wee Scottish part of the world – she’s such a cool well travelled woman and now has been initiated into the Irn Bru culture ;)

So that’s all my news over (I’ve probably missed out LOADS of stuff so my devastated apologies if you or your event wasn’t mentioned) – what’s been the highlight of your year? Leave me a comment and I’ll put them in a draw send an ebook to the winner :D

The more you smile, the more people smile back! (And if you have an erotic book in your clutches, your smile will be broad indeed!)

Lots of love, Tabitha!! Cheers :D

Old Things New Things and why books are ace...

Hello and welcome! Hope you had a wonderfully Merry Christmas and are looking forward to a Happy New Year!

I, of course, ate too much - didn't drink quite enough though... got lots of socks but only one book this year - but never mind - it just means I get to choose my own ;) any recommendations? (Of course, I'll be recommending some to you by the end of this post;)!)

So, some of you may know that I struggle with the concept of promoting my books - but just the other day, I read this blog which was pretty much gave me a kick in the behind - it really got me thinking - what do I do that benefits you, dear reader and why should you part with your precious time and cash to read one of my books? So I thought about it objectively (mainly removing myself and thinking about why I read books, especially saucy ones).

Here are my findings:

• Reading is one of life's great personal pleasures. (I think I would simply die if I didn't read every night - I certainly wouldn't sleep)
• Books take you away from it all and help exercise your imagination (and Lord knows, any part of me that is getting exercised is a bonus - especially around this time of year) - so think of reading as part of your health regime ;)
• Sex is also a requirement (for most people) to enjoy a full rounded experience with themselves or others - well, saucy books combine both! 
• By reading a saucy book, you may find yourself getting that tingly feeling deep inside which might result in the glorious release of pleasurable endorphines - and who wouldn't want that? ;)
• By indulging in said results of reading a saucy book with a lover with whom you may be having difficulties - you may find you reconnect on that special level and cast aside the worries of the mundane - at least for a little while... hooray!
• By buying books you are supporting art - you choose whether you think that is a good thing or not ;) - I couldn't survive in a world without art.Imagine? It's a necessity for survival!
• By buying books you are facilitating the writing of more books - how awesome is that?!

So there you have it. Why I buy books. If you have any other reasons, please pop them in the comments - I'll choose my fave and send you a short saucy book of mine called Mia's Books - it's a cheeky little paranormal tale - click on the pic or link to read a sample and see whether you fancy it. Let's say, oh, how about we give it a week? And since this time of the year means I have no idea what day or date it is I'll have to check the calendar...
Hey - IT'S HOGMANAY! Oh My GOODNESS! My favourite night of the year and I nearly missed it pondering BOOKS (well, there could be worse reasons!)

SO A HUGE and PROSPEROUS 2014 to you all - with love from Tabitha x x x

PS: I mentioned I would be recommending books didn't I? Well, of course any author really ought to give their own a plug so here's my book list (on this blog) my two novels are worth a shot if you like sexy fantasy with end of the world action :D A Clockwork Butterfly and Taking Flight - the trilogy finale will be out mid 2014.
For an array of fabulous sexy books from rosy romance to the most incredible intelligent filth - you should check out the Brit Babes ;) some super gals I met this year (Kay Jaybee, Lily Harlem, Lucy Felthouse, Kd Grace, Lexie Bay, Emmy Ellis, Victoria Blisse) and you simply can't go wrong with some delicious Justine Elyot or Kristina Lloyd x x x
