New Charity Anthology! LGBT Love: 10 Queer, Trans, Bi, Lesbian and Gay Romance Stories

Cover art features jeans and hightops
LGBT Love
10 Queer, Trans, Bi, Lesbian and Gay Romance Stories
by Giselle Renarde

***All royalties from the sale of this anthology will be donated to charitable organizations supporting LGBT individuals and communities.***

LGBT Love is in the air! Fall for romance with 10 sensual stories by award-winning queer author Giselle Renarde. From lesbian cops to gay professors, bisexual businessmen to transgender soldiers, diverse characters find the everlasting affection they’ve been searching for in LGBT Love.

You can buy this anthology as an ebook, but you can also buy it in print and the royalties will still be donated to charity. Same goes for the large print edition.

I'll share with you the first 7 paragraphs from the first story in the collection--one of my favourites, about a young trans woman and trans man who fall in love: Everybody Knows.

You know when you’ve just given some guy a blowjob and then you have to take the subway right after and you feel like everybody knows?

So, that’s where I’m at right now. Just sitting here on this faux-fancy velvet red seat, smelling like cum, and feeling so conspicuous I could hang myself. Sure I swallowed, but that’s never good enough. The scent doesn’t go away. It sticks to your hair, doesn’t it? And your skin. Sex is in my aura, gossiping with other passengers, telling strangers secrets that aren’t really true.

I’m not a total slut. And I’m not a whore. Shut up, aura! You wanna take this outside?

There’s a guy all in black standing by the doors. I know he’s looking at me while I pretend to read that subway ad about Why Can’t Street Kids Just Get A Life? I get the feeling he knows it’s for show. I’m glancing his way, really subtle, catching only outlines of his bulky body.

I imagine myself whipping my head around and shouting, “What are you staring at, motherfucker?” but I second-guess myself. Maybe he’s not looking at me. Maybe I’m wrong. Hey, it happens. But I think I’m right this time. I’m pretty sure I’m right.

So I turn my head to meet his gaze, but he’s not looking at me. He’s not. He’s just staring into oblivion, and suddenly I’m the one staring at him… because I’m not sure anymore if he is a him. I look at his chest, look for telltale boobs, but I’m still not sure. He’s got a vest on. It’s hard to say. Smooth cheeks, though. Too smooth. Butch dyke? Maybe. Or trans guy. I don’t know.

And suddenly he’s looking at me, right at me, and he asks, “What are you staring at?” He doesn’t say “motherfucker.”

I'm offering LGBT Love at an introductory price, so if you want to snag a deal AND feel great about where your money's going (ie. to help queer people who need a little support), now is the time to buy!

Out Now! – Eyes Wide Open by Lucy Felthouse #erotica #romance #bdsm #menage #mmf

The following is a post by Lucy Felthouse
 
Eyes Wide Open Cover
A standalone novel from the Totally Five Star imprint.
An ordinary girl catapulted into an extraordinary world meets two even more extraordinary men—but what will she do when she discovers their sexy secret?
Fiona Gillespie moved to London shortly after graduating to take advantage of the opportunities the capital could offer. However, months later, she’s still living in a horrid flat and working in a grimy East End pub. The problem is, she doesn’t really know what she wants to do, career-wise. So when she happens upon an advertisement for a job at a plush Mayfair hotel, she jumps at the chance. A great deal of determination and a spot of luck land Fiona her dream role.
But working at the Totally Five Star London is just the beginning. She adores the role and flourishes, impressing her bosses and making her increasingly determined to climb the career ladder.
While her career is flying, though, her love life is non-existent. She hasn’t even thought about men, never mind met or dated one for months, so when she bumps into two gorgeous businessmen in the hotel, she’s surprised to find her head has been well and truly turned. Even more surprisingly, they flirt with her—both of them! She’s drawn to James and Logan, despite feeling that they’re way out of her league.
When a misunderstanding leads Fiona to James and Logan’s sumptuous top-floor suite, she has no idea what she’s about to uncover. Scenes of people-trafficking, drug-pushing and wild sex parties all appear in her active imagination. Yet what she actually sees is something she’d never even considered before, something that piques her interest.
After discovering their sexy secret, what will she do with this new-found knowledge?
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of anal play, spanking, sex toys and bondage.

Excerpt:
Continuing to surreptitiously peer at the men over the rim of her glass, it hit her that this was the first time in months that she’d looked at a man with interest, much less two men—and at the same time! But, ready to snatch her gaze away if one of them happened to glance at her, she realized that it wasn’t surprising that the pair had attracted her attention.
The tailored business suits would draw the eye even on an ugly guy. But on these two, the fine clothing was practically an orgasm for the gaze. They sat opposite each other, and their angle to her meant that she had a view of both their profiles—lucky her.
The one to her right had very dark, almost black hair, with a bit of a curl to it, a long straight nose, a trimmed goatee and, if she wasn’t mistaken, deep blue eyes. It was hard to tell for sure from this distance and perspective.
The one on her left had lighter, shorter hair, stubble that by some magical feat still looked smart, and the most sinful lips she’d ever set eyes on. And speaking of eyes, she thought perhaps his were green. What she wouldn’t give to go and check both of them out close up, preferably naked.
Shocked at her own sudden lustful thoughts, she inhaled more than drank another sip of the juice. Unfortunately, it hit her throat all wrong and she almost slammed the glass down as she started to cough. She tried so hard to suppress the cough, eager not to draw attention to herself, that she made it worse. Snatching up the thick linen serviette from the table, she held it to her mouth as she spluttered in a most embarrassing manner, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. By now, she was sure that the whole damn restaurant was staring at her, and she wished the tablecloths reached the floor, like the ones in the restaurant upstairs, so she could hide under the table until she regained her composure.
Swallowing repeatedly to try to soothe her irritated throat, she gasped as a gentle hand laid on her shoulder, which set her off all over again.
“Oh God,” came a voice. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you jump. I just wanted to make sure you were all right. See if I could help.”
Unable to speak, Fiona waved a hand to try to signal that she’d be okay, but unless the guy was a mind reader, he’d have no luck figuring that out. Blinking through the tears that marred her vision, her urge to hide underneath the table grew stronger. Christ, it was only the hottie with the blue eyes. And, if she wasn’t mistaken, his sexy friend with the green eyes was also hovering close by, concern etched into his handsome features.
Managing to drag in a breath, she huffed out, “Thank you.”
Just then, Jeremy arrived with a carafe of water, complete with ice, and poured her a glassful. “Here you go, Fiona. Drink this. Are you all right? Anything else I can get you?”

Oyster Is Done Like Dinner!

Oyster Books is closing up shop. Now who's going to tell me my books won't be listed on their shelves because: "The content is primarily of an erotic nature, intended to stir sexual desire."

If you've never heard of Oyster, it is/was an ebook subscription service where you pay a monthly fee for access to as many books as you can read. I shouldn't imply that NONE of my books were listed there. Some are/were... like Sweet Lesbian Love Stories, which has no sexual content.

In a blog post that uses a lot of words to say pretty much nothing, Oyster Books announced they "will be taking steps to sunset the existing Oyster service over the next several months. If you are an Oyster reader you will receive an email personally regarding your account in the next few weeks."

This Publishers Weekly post is more informative: http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/digital/content-and-e-books/article/68130-oyster-is-shutting-down-operations.html

What's left as far as ebook subscription services? Well, there's Amazon's Kindle Unlimited, which is shitty for authors because they demand exclusivity (so we can't sell our books anywhere else) and Scribd, which recently unloaded a bajillion romance books because romance readers read too much.

I've kind of lost track of how many of these "such and such a site is closing down" announcements I've made over the years.

To be honest... I get a little scared...

EXCERPT

Adam breathed hard as Sheree’s fist slid up and down his dick. “There’s no reason you couldn’t stay with Mom and Dad. You just don’t want to. You’re not my problem.”

“Aren’t I?” Sheree arched on the bed without releasing Adam’s hard-on. Her free hand yanked the crotch of her jean shorts to one side, giving him an explicit view of her peachy shaved pussy. “If I’m not your problem, whose problem am I?”

Adam’s heart raced as he stared unapologetically at his stepsister’s cunt. The muscles in her forearm struggled to keep her cut-offs pulled out of the way. Rough denim pressed against her most tender part. His cock pulsed because, god, he knew that pussy. He knew it well.

“Quit fighting me, Adam.” Sheree inched her wet pussy closer to his dick. “Just shut your face and let me fuck you.”

His cockhead spilled precum across her clit as she rubbed him there. Fuck, that flesh was hot stuff. Pulpy, swollen, juicy, and pink. Who was he kidding? He wanted inside. He wanted to ram his dick into his stepsister’s tight snatch and fuck her brains out. Just the thought of it…

“No, don’t!” She ran her fist up his shaft and squeezed the tip. “Don’t you dare come yet!”

Adam’s body gyrated on the bed. He flopped like a fish trapped in Sheree’s net. “I can’t… I can’t stop it!”

Felicity's First: Threesome Erotica

Two women lick a lollipop
Felicity’s never been with a man. The same can’t be said for her girlfriend. Robyn’s bisexual, and she’s always saying how great it feels to get with a guy. Felicity isn’t overly attracted to dudes, but Robyn’s got this one ex who’s pretty cute. Maybe they could go at him together?

Brant is happy to sacrifice himself to Robyn and Felicity’s first-time sex experiment, but are the girls really ready for a threesome?

FELICITY'S FIRST

EXCERPT

She’d spent a lot of her life being afraid of cocks, but she wasn’t afraid of Brant’s. There was something different about it—probably the fact that it was attached to a gay guy, or maybe just the fact that it was attached to someone as dreamy as Robyn’s ex.

“Just put it in your mouth,” Robyn said. “It’s not that hard.”

Brant clicked his teeth. “Thaaanks.”

Robyn let out a low chuckle. “That’s not what I meant and you know it. It’s not that difficult. Here, I’ll show you how it’s done.”

“What are you doing?” Brant and Felicity asked, in unison. They obviously shared a sense of shock and awe as Robyn got down on her knees and took her ex’s cock in hand.

“I like to play with it first,” Robyn said as she took the base of Brant’s shaft in her fist. “Oh, wow, you need to feel how it’s pulsing.”

Robyn handed his cock to Felicity, who took hold of it the same way she would have if her girlfriend had passed her a carrot. It wasn’t until she had it in her hand that the idea sunk in that she was holding a penis. It really hit her when the thing wiggled and wagged like a dog’s tail.

Squealing, she dropped it, but it didn’t fall. It stayed there, attached to his body, and pointing straight at her.

Brant and Robyn both laughed, and Robyn said, “What a wimp!”

“I didn’t expect it to move,” Felicity said, trying to sound like a mature adult and knowing full well that she didn’t. Wrapping her hand around the stiff cock, she stared it down like this was a battle she had a chance of winning. “Okay, there. I’m holding it. What now?”

“This,” Robyn said, and licked the tip like a lollipop.

What kind of writer are you?

I've decided I'm Alf.
ALF, the alien, eating a kitten
No, not that Alf. This one:
Alf Ventress, from Heartbeat, cuddling a kitten
I found myself watching an old episode of Heartbeat at two in the morning, and my brain started making all these strange connections.

See, I know a lot of really successful authors. I'm super-duper not ONE OF THEM. They make BIG MONEY off their books. I... do not. I know people who earn more in a month than I earn in a year. Waaay more.

But I'm happy. Yes, that's right: I have the audacity to be happy while poor. I've learned that's something you're not supposed to say around rich people, because we poverty-stricken individuals are supposed to be striving for better, better, more, more, more!

I always say if I wanted to be rich, I wouldn't be a writer. But you can't say that around writers who have gotten rich by writing because they're just like... well, I did it. What's your major malfunction?

That's just it: I don't have one. I am content with my tiny market share. I have a roof over my head. I live in a safe neighbourhood. I can afford to buy food! Life is good.

But what does any of this have to do with my pal Alf Ventress?

Alf and I are twinsies because we show up every day. We're always around. We do the job, eat a few boiled eggs, put the kettle on.

We're slow, sure, but what's the rush?

We're not driven toward other people's ideas of success, but that doesn't make him any less of a village bobby and doesn't make me any less of a small-time writer.

You don't tune in to see Alf, but he's always there and there's something comforting about that. All these young coppers from London, they have their flash in the pan and then they take off. Think of the number of young actors (and older ones) who came and went of the course of Heartbeat's history.

Alf was always there.

I'm Alf. I'm always around. I'm always publishing something. My output is consistent. I don't give up when the going gets tough because, for me, the going has always been tough. Success never embraced me. Or, if it tried, I shied away because I don't enjoy the spotlight. Of course I want people to buy my books (that's what pays the bills, after all), but is it worth screaming how great I am all over the internet all the time?

No way. That would be exhausting. Anyway, I'm nothing special. I'm just here. I've been here going on ten years, and that's not about to change any time soon.

So buy my books at your leisure. I know a lot of authors who packed it in when they weren't shiny and new anymore, but I'm not one of them. I was never shiny and new--or, when I was, nobody knew I existed.

Life will go on and I'll keep writing. Every day I'll be at my computer, writing. That's just the kind of writer I am.

What kind of writer are you?

Them's not my rules. That's what it says on the back of the gift card. I would more than love to open this contest to everybody in the whole wide world, but the prize wouldn't be of much use to anyone outside Canada.

This contest is extremely easy to enter. All you have to do is simple stuff, like sign up for my newsletter, follow me on Twitter, all that. I'm using Rafflecopter, so you can see all your options below. There are a couple (like retweeting my tweets, I think) that you can enter daily.
