Valentines and a FREE ebook!

Well here we are, only 20 days away from Valentine’s Day. So naturally I took up the challenge of compiling a list of sexy offerings that go down as smooth as a 5 gallon jug of Riunite.

Jodi’s Top 5 Sexy Gift Ideas

1)    Couples massage. You can either splurge on a trip to the spa, or crank the heat up a few notches by lighting some massage candles and giving each other the sexy rub down in the comfort of your own bedroom.  Don’t forget to crack that Riunite on ice, you naughty lovebirds.

2)      For him: a Man Crate. I was particularly intrigued by the Mount Rubsmore kit. Until I realized it wasn’t what I originally assumed it was. >.>

3)      Toys. No, I’m not talking Rock ‘Em Sock ‘EM Robots and Nerf guns. Though God knows those are on my list. Nope, let’s think sexier. Maybe the OhMiBod might be in order. The vibe’s intensity syncs to the music on your IPod or other playlist. So when Justin Timberlake swears he’s gonna Rock You to the break of day, he’s not just whistling Dixie. 

4)      Erotic Poetry. Yes, even you can be a poet who didn’t know it. With the Erotic Magnetic Poetry Kit it’s easier than ever to whisper dirty sweet nothings to each other via the fridge. Just don’t be surprised if you have hard time keeping the ice cubes from melting. Which will be completely unhelpful with keeping the Riunite chilled.

5)      Sexy Board Games. You too can be a BedroomRockstar! Or maybe you'd be more into in a wild game of BedroomBaseball! Ball and bat sold separately…

Speaking of bedroom rockstars, I just put Kissin’ Hell free at all online retailers. So make sure to grab your copy!

When Animals Help...

Sometimes we all need a little help in life. And lucky for us, animals are there to lend a hand. I am working hard to get the next story out to you, so here's a glimpse into my life with my personal assistant...my cat, Grayson.

He helps make sure I get the laundry done.

He makes sure I don't spend too much time on social media when I should be doing other things. You know, like feeding him.

He helps me decide on wall decor. He'll knock down whatever doesn't pass his high standards.

He's a great editor too! He simply eats the pages he doesn't approve of.

But at the end of the day, we all love our pets. They bring laughter, comfort, and joy to our lives when we seem to need it most. They also see us at our worst and love us anyway. 

Of course they also judge us. 

My cat often looks at me like this until I feel guilty. I don't often know what I've done wrong, but when he looks at me like this, I'm pretty sure I have committed the most heinous crime.

What do your animals do to keep you entertained? Share a story or picture below. I'd love to see what furry critter keeps you on task.

Happy Nude Year!--I mean Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year! I'm working today on my April Fools For Love story, one of the first purely contemporary romances I've done in a while. And because of that, I'd like to ask a question--

How do you get the hero and heroine's clothes off??

See, my vampires are able to turn to mist, and their clothes just drop through. Then they snap back, yummily naked. My witches can (spoiler) zap their clothes and their partner's clothes of AND on. Even my shifters can claw the things off.

But this...? I'm writing a contemporary, mundane, grounded-in-reality romance. I can't use any of those shortcuts, which hasn't bothered me before today. BUT TODAY... today, I wrote the sex scene, the one where the hero and heroine have intercourse.

So I sit down and start at the start of the scene, where he leads her by the hand into the room and locks the door and I'm writing and writing and writing, good grief am I writing, and FINALLY I get to the point where he can put his mouth on her nipple.

Yay! Okay, now for me (and the heroine) the sex has started.

At this point because it's lunch time I take a break. There's a bit of scientist in me, and since I started the scene at the beginning and stopped as I applied his tongue to her breast, I was able to get a word count for the day so far (and thus how many words it took them to get that far). Drum roll, please...

Four hundred words.

Four. Hundred. FOUR hundred. It took me almost TWO WHOLE PAGES to get them to where they could get down to the good stuff.

What about you? If you're a writer, do you enjoy writing the bits coming off, or do you have a shortcut? If you're a reader, do you like it when it takes them a couple pages to get naked or do you want them to get right down to it?

Gearing Up to Make Fools of Ourselves in 2016

There are only a few days left in the year, and I think most of us are wondering where the hell the time went.

I just got used to writing 2015 on my documents. At least it's going to be easy to draw a little line and make that 5 a 6. The 2014 to 2015 transition was a bitch.

The Lust With a Laugh crew tried something new this year and put out a collection of stories. While everyone is coming down from a holiday high and wondering where the rest of that pie went, we are gearing up for our favorite holiday... April Fool's Day!

Once again the Lusty Linguists (and a few of our friends) are going to get you some stories to read that will make you smile, make you squirm, and might just give you a few ideas for your own April Fool's Day pranks.

We will be releasing ALL NEW stories for mass consumption on April 1st 2016. No Foolin'! (see what I did there?)

As the lineup is finalized you can check back on our group website for the new books, and ordering details!

Find it all at...

As 2015 is ending, I think most of us look at what we've done and where we're going. 

Sometimes the trip down memory lane is more fun than others. Sometimes you have epic freakouts about deadlines, and other times you are googling where to buy flounder paddles.

The Lusty Linguists want to remind you that it's always an easier journey when you can smile. We hope that we've brought you a few of those this year, and look forward to bringing you more in 2016. 

When you can't remember what day it is....

So. Apparently it is Monday. Or...if you're one of my friends on the other side of the pond...it's probably Tuesday. *waves to folks in the future*

I've been trying to juggle all the things I said I could do in the middle of the year, with the amount of actual time I have. 

Here's where reality shows what a bitch it is. 

Things I said I would do this month...

1. Have all my shopping done ahead of time. 

2. Finish edits for a new contemporary series.

3. Have a draft ready to go for April Fools For Love 2016

4. Get 20k into a new story.

5. Give myself time to crochet a new scarf as a present to myself.

Here's how all of that went....

1. I am the Oprah of gift giving. "You get a gift card! And you get a gift card! EVERYONE GETS A GIFT CAAAARRRRRDDD!"

2. If I get the edits done without asking for a second extension, does that count?

I am having nightmares about "Simultaneous Action" notes.

3. I'm close....ish.

4. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

5. I bought yarn...

This time of year we all seem to be running around like crazy people.

Well all of us except those few who have time to hand make holiday cards and send them out on the first of December.

Dear people like this, just so you know...we are all jealous of your organization and preparedness. And we all hate you a little.

So do you have a ton of things to do this week too? Or is it just me out here floundering in the abyss of xmas unpreparedness?
