While my bald avatar mollyw languishes in Second Life, I’m back here to announce that not only will the winner of my current contest win a $25 gift card to Eden Fantasies — fantastic online purveyor of sex toys, sex books, sex everything – but that Eden Fantasies has upped the ante by adding a [...]
I was thrilled and flattered last April when an online discussion of my erotic novel Carrie’s Story (w/a Molly Weatherfield) attracted 345 posts. Not bad, I’d have to say, for a book that was first published in 1995 (and which I would never have dreamed would still be in its 16th printing as I write [...]
“Right after reading it,” Jennie says in her wonderfully positive DearAuthor review of Janet Mullany’s Mr. Bishop and the Actress I thought it was an A- (perhaps because my natural inclination is to think a straight A read requires more angst).” But, she continues, since a few weeks later the book has still stayed with [...]
Along with Linda’s reply to my contest question about why booklovers are such sexy people, Cheryl from New Jersey contends that it’s because we’re open to “varied thoughts, opinions, and beliefs,” while Anais from Nice, France suggests that (as we fall in love with those we have something in common with), booklovers will of course [...]

Just one more day for the passionate bibliophiles among you to enter my current contest and win autographed copies of two of Miranda Neville’s smart and sexy historical romances – The Wild Marquis and The Dangerous Viscount, both of which take place among a community of Regency book collectors, and both of which I loved [...]

Whatever it would take for me to figure out how she made something so light-hearted and entertaining so smart, believable, and wonderfully well-plotted. But for right [...]

And a sheepish apology. Because, dear bewildered contest-lovers — you are not going blind. My current contest should indeed have ended on October 3 (as you were quite quite sure my contest page said), and not November 14 (as it clearly says now). Apologies. I messed up. So intently was I preparing my erotic writing [...]
Congratulations to Lettetia from St. Helens, OR, who — as the winner of my just-completed contest — is now richer by some ten or a dozen autographed copies of books by me and my fellow bloggers at History Hoydens. A new contest is going up today. Check it out… And congratulations (and thanks too) as [...]
A man wakes up in a strange bed, with only a whiff of lovely scent to remind him how he got there: He sniffed: rosemary and lavender [hanging from the ceiling beams to dry]. And something else, spicy as cinnamon, tart as lemon. A woman. The sheets of her bed smelled like her. — from [...]
