A NEW BOOK ON THE SHELF! YAY!

I am delighted to let you know that The Brute and I by Suzanne Smith. The e-book is available now.  In the next few days, I will be chatting with Suzanne.  For now, I want to give you a sample of our latest book. Chapter One I turned the brass knob quickly, the nauseating fist of fear hitting me hard in the belly as I looked up and saw Marco standing on the other side of the bedroom door. He stood eerily still, close to the center of the doorway, not moving a muscle and not saying a word. His beautiful brown...

ALL THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW.

I was chatting online with a writer friend last night.  She was telling me about a gay pride event she was going to over this weekend.  As she described the event she said she was going to, I found myself wishing I was going too.  This celebration is held every year for the whole of June and is known as the Mother of Pride.  Brenda Howard coordinated the first LGBT Pride march. As well as sparking the idea for a week of events around Pride Day. These events have developed into the annual LGBT event.  And similar events happen in...

OUR LATEST BOOK, PATRICK IS NOW LIVE!

I’m thrilled to let you know our latest book Patrick is out! Prologue Serial killer I missed my lovelies. I opened the drawer of my nightstand and pulled out my prized photo album letting my fingertips brush the steel finish of the Pierre Cardin signature embossed on the lower front of my dead mother’s antique table lamp. Not wanting to disappoint Mother more than I already had by not becoming a surgeon, I had taken to heart the need to be precise in my work with my lovelies. I thought back on all the years when my mother had been training...

AUTHORS GET YOUR BOOK SEEN! READERS FIND YOUR NEXT GREAT READ!

I have been thinking. I know it is dangerous! I have been considering the disappearance of so many  FB Groups dedicated to promoting romance and erotic romance stories.  There were two groups I promoted in nearly every day, ” Sexy Erotica” with over 11,000 members and “Erotica for 18+” with 1,300 members. I just find it a little alarming, that one-minute robust Groups like that, are there for all of us to advertise on and the next minute… they are gone! I don’t know about you, but as a reader and writer of erotic romance, I find this frustrating.  It...

JUST READ A GREAT BOOK AND WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

Wanted to share.  I finished a book on Monday night.  Ric likes us to read the new books, as well as the new submissions.  I also read other romance books from other publishers; I think it gives me a more balanced view of where the market is and where BVS is heading.  I do like to read our books because they are great reads, but I need to know what I am talking about. This book came out for pre-release sale Monday, Perilous Love by Jan Selbourne.  It will be at a promotional price of $2.99, until the release date 29th March. I loved reading...

THE FAUSTAIN PACT

If you could make a deal with the devil, would you……? Writers and artists are driven to do what they do.  And I can see the idea of that Faustian pact tempting.  I have asked myself this question a thousand times and it is a concept I have used more than once for artistic inspiration over the years.  For those not familiar with the story of Faust, in a nutshell, Faust sells his soul to the devil, in return the devil gives Faust back his youth, unlimited knowledge, and worldly pleasures.  Over the years there have been many stories, artistic...

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF BLACK VELVET SEDUCTIONS…

A tricky one really as each day has its own flavor, and depending on who is around will dictate the pace of the day. This is just really a snapshot as well I may do another and you will get to see the contrast. Today is a day when I am here in the studio alone. For well over twenty years I have been an artist and I run BVS from my art studio. To start I thought it would be useful to give you an idea of how we work. I have just recently doubled the office space so...
