Please help me welcome today's guest author, Lucy Felthouse. :)
THK: Tell me
about yourself. Anything you would like readers know about you?
LF: I’m Lucy
Felthouse, I’m 28 and from Derbyshire in the UK. I write erotica and erotic
romance and I got started back in university when someone dared me to write an
erotic story. I love writing, running my business (http://www.writermarketing.co.uk), reading, watching TV and films,
walking, spending time in the countryside with my other half and my dog,
visiting stately home and historical sites, and eating chips and
chocolate—though not at the same time.
THK: Sounds
fabulous. Tell me about your current and upcoming releases. Please include a
blurb and a link to where the book can be purchased.
LF: My latest
release is a co-author project. It’s a BDSM, erotic, sports romance! Yes, lots
going on and it’s a book I’m incredibly proud of. I co-wrote it with Lily
Harlem.
Here’s the blurb:
California had
seduced me with promises of a new life working at Los Carlos Tennis Academy.
What I didn’t expect was the dark, brooding number one seed, Travis Connolly,
resisting my help. He wasn’t interested in my psychology skills. Instead his
attention was drawn to the edgy, sharper corners of my desires, proving that
they existed, setting me challenges and driving me crazy to the point of
combustion.
I’m the best
tennis player in the world—officially—so why would I need a damn woman full of
psychobabble to get me on form? Despite my irritation, however, I can’t resist
pushing Marie Sherratt’s buttons even though doing that shows her the darkest
shades of my lust, the parts of me I buried deep. So I set her a challenge, one
she rises to, one that has me rising too, and before long my game relies on her
calling the shots, hitting the target and bending to my will. One thing was
certain, being not just master of the court, but also of Marie is seriously
good for my soul.

My upcoming release, also from Ellora’s Cave, is called Mean
Girls. It’s an erotic romance novella about a BBW/Rubenesque chick. I really
enjoyed writing this novella, and hope readers will enjoy it. It’s coming out
on the 20th September.
Here’s the blurb:
Adele Blackthorne
is a big girl, a curvy chick. She knows it, and she’s been picked on all her
life because of it. But she’s gotten to the stage where she doesn’t care. She
may be Rubenesque, but she’s healthy, too. Much healthier than the mean girls
at the leisure center that point and stare and say spiteful things about her.
Adele rises above it all, and simply enjoys her secretive glances at the
center’s hunky lifeguard, Oliver.
As the bullying
of Adele becomes worse, Oliver finds it increasingly difficult not to
intervene. He doesn’t want to get into trouble with work, but equally he can’t
stand to see Adele treated in such a horrible way. Especially since he doesn’t
agree that she’s fat and unattractive. He thinks she’s a seriously sexy woman,
and would like to get to know her better. Much better.

THK: What genre
do you write it? What drew you to write in that genre? If you mix genres talk
about that too.
LF: I write
erotica and erotic romance. I think I covered this already, oops. I started
because someone dared me to, found I quite enjoyed it, and never looked back.
I’ve built up a backlist of massively varied work from contemporary to
paranormal, different heat levels, pairings, and so on.
THK: Nothing like
a good variety, I say. How many books have you written? How many have been
published?
LF: In terms of
full-length novels, I’ve only written one so far, and that’s due to be
published later this year. In terms of short stories, I have no idea as I
haven’t counted them lately. But most of the stuff I write has found a home or
is out on submission.
THK: That’s
great. What would you say is your most interesting writing quirk?
LF: I don’t think
I really have one. People say my stuff can be funny, though I don’t necessarily
intend it to be. My silly sense of humor obviously just sneaks into my work.
THK: I understand
that. My sense of humor is totally warped and it find its way into my work when
I least expect it. What is the hardest part of writing?
LF: Having people
assume that you write everything from experience. Which would make me a gay
man, a lesbian, straight, a vampire, werewolf, shifter, policeman, soldier… the
list goes on!
THK: Tell me
about it! Ha. Ha. Ha. I get the most bizarre come-ons from men and the
strangest reactions from women who think when I do “research” I’m out actually
DOING all this stuff. Although it might be pretty cool to be a bi-sexual fairy
shaman/elf/werewolf/vampire/witch/wizard/incubus/whatever involved in group
sex, sadly I am none of those. What do you read for fun when you’re not
writing?
LF: All kinds of
things really. I like chick lit, erotica and erotic romance, paranormal, urban
fantasy, thrillers—there’s not much fiction that I won’t give a go.
THK: Same here. I
read a bit of everything. Any words of encouragement for unpublished writers?
LF: Yes. Don’t
give up! Practice and talent will get you there, as long as you don’t give in.
THK: Now,
something just for the fun of it. Werewolves or vampires? Why?
LF: Vampires, I
think. Because they don’t turn hairy, they’re immortal, dangerous, scary and
sexy.
THK: If you could
get away with anything (criminal or just plain silly) what would you do?
LF: I don’t know,
really. I haven’t thought about it—possibly because most of the things I want
to do, I end up doing.
Maybe having wild
flings with the men on my top ten list? http://pinterest.com/cw1985/top-10-future-husbands/
