Keziah Hill

Yay!

The last thing Ruth Cavanaugh wants in her life is a man who thinks he can control her. So why is she having lust filled dreams about Jake Fitzgerald, a man who values control above all else? Jake can’t believed prickly but sexy Ruth has invaded his dreams so thoroughly. He’s happy she’s there, but what can he do to convince her she’s got the wrong idea about him? He has a few ideas and they all involve letting go of control once and for all. He’s more than willing, but is she?

You can buy it here.

Have a good weekend!

Last year Forbidden Publications published a short of mine called Ghostly Desires. It’s a lesbian erotic romance which as a genre seems less popular in the romance world than gay male romance. Fallen Angels Review did a review of it in December that I’ve only just found out about! Five Angels!

This book was excellent. My only complaint is it left me wanting more … I think the author’s writing style and choice of genre is excellent. I hope to read more from Keziah Hill and I hope all of the books are just as well written and leave me craving more.
(Thanks Amanda H!)

That’ll teach me to do more regular searches on myself. It all came about because Denise Rossetti posted on the RWAustralia elist that Dogpile is a better search engine than Google.

So I put my name in and up popped the review. Thanks Denise! I’ve written another essentially lesbian tale for eXtasy (although there’s a bit of m/f action as well) called Playing with Trouble.

I’m going to write something about lesbian erotic romance on the blog soon. Do you like reading about women falling in love and having hot sex? If you do, who are your favourite authors?

Thirteen Things about why I love autumn It’s Thursday somewhere in the world even though I’m late. It’s cooler I can do exercise and not feel like I want to die The air in the morning is so crisp and invigorating I feel full of energy I can wear jumpers and heavier trousers that I feel more comfortable in I can wear scarves and shawls The turning trees are spectacular where I live Many roses flower again and their colour and smell is more intense I start sleeping more deeply As a consequence I’m more likely to have erotic dreams (yay!) As a consequence I’m more likely to get story ideas It’s my birthday season It’s cooler Did I mention it’s cooler? Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.

The Ache of Marriage - Denise Levertov

The ache of marriage:

thigh and tongue, beloved,
are heavy with it,
it throbs in the teeth

We look for communion
and are turned away, beloved,
each and each

It is leviathan and we
in its belly
looking for joy, some joy
not to be known outside it

two by two in the ark of
the ache of it.

Born in England and lived in America for most of her life Denise Levertov was Russian and Welsh. I love her poems.

I need to read more poetry. I think every writer does. It’s important to get out of the rut of linear words and read something more fluid and sometimes obscure. I sat in bed last night and read some Robert Lowell and this line leapt up at me:

I want words meat-hooked from the living steer (from the Nihilist as Hero)

It’s violent and horrible and expresses exactly the way I’d like words to punch the page from my mind.

LEAP OF FATE by Antonia Pearce

Love, Fate and Death. Three powerful forces that rule the universe. But are they really mutually exclusive?
