Back in the UK!

I'm heading off to the UK on Monday, November 19th for 10 days of book-type business.  Yep, it's all work all the time with me... Well, sometimes it seems that way. This trip is a sort of mini book tour for Seductress: Erotic Tales of Immortal Desire (here or here).

That's my latest anthology.  It's all about succubui, you know, she demons who steal your life force with their sexual wiles. Yeah, it's that good. Anyway, if you're in the London area or the Blackpool area, I do hope you'll join me for an event, or two. Here's my schedule:

Blackpool

An Evening of Erotic Fiction at  No. 5 
5 Cedar Square
Thursday, November 22, 2012
6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Join Ashley Lister, Remittance Girl and me as we read from Spank! and The Sweetest Kiss. I'll probably read from Under Her Thumb because I'm really excited about that new little baby. People have asked if this is a family-friendly event. So--No... Aren't you glad?

There will also be an open mic period for those who wish to read their own erotica.

I'll be doing other things in Blackpool, as well, like speaking to a writing seminar, going to various pubs -- to drink, not to read, checking out the world's largest mirror ball, buying Blackpool Rock and drinking. Oh, did I mention that already? So, come to the reading and maybe I'll catch you on the Promenade.


London

Erotic Writers Meet
Le Pain Quotidien
70 Wardour Street, Soho
Saturday, November 24, 2012
2:30 to 5:30 p.m.

We'll have a discussion about editing and publishing erotic fiction. This is a roundtable discussion, so please come and participate!

50 Shades of Seduction or How To Get What You Want
Sh! Women's Emporium
57 Hoxton Square (Corner of Hoxton Square and Coronet Street)
Tube: Old Street
Saturday, November 24, 2012 
6:30 to 8:30?

Yes, I'll be rushing right over there from Soho!  We're going to be talking about new attractions to kinky sex and dipping your toes into BDSM. How do you seduce your partner into playing the games you want to play in bed, or elsewhere? This is a "Women Only" class and requires reservations.

D. L. King and Friends
Sh! Women's Emporium  (Same directions as above)
Wednesday, November 28th, 2012
6:30 p.m. to ?

This is the big blow out. Help me celebrate my last night in London. I've published 17 UK writers in my various anthologies; nine of them will be joining me at Sh! for the biggest reading they've ever hosted! Many of these people I haven't had the opportunity to meet, so I very excited. Who'll be there?

Janine Ashbless, Jacqueline Applebee, Jacqueline Brocker, Essemoh Teepee, Ciara Fin, K. D. Grace, Remittance Girl and NJ Streitberger and me. Possibly more, although we'll have to wait to see.

We'll be reading from Where the Girls Are, The Sweetest Kiss, Carnal Machines, Voyeur Eyes Only, Seductress and even from my super-secret, won't be released until April, Under Her Thumb!

Oh, and I'll be doing other things while in London, so it won't be all work all the time there, either. I'm going to check out Portobello Market (because I've never managed to be in town on the right day before), I'll be in search of frou frou drinks, I may even do the Eye, although I'm not sure about that and I do hope to get to Paris for a day.  

So, if you see me sitting on a bench by the Thames, with my nose in a book, feel free to come over and ask me if it's making me wet. Chances are, it'll be raining and the answer will be yes.

And then I'll be off, back to New York at the crack of dawn on November 29th. Actually, it's more like the crack of afternoon, but why quibble?
