Instruments of Pleasure by Nicole Dere.

Two musically gifted young cousins, Max (the girl with the boy's name) and Toni (vice versa) have been brought up under the tyrannous rule of Aunt Charlotte. Their lives are dramatically transformed when Charlotte gifts them to the charismatic Professor Labat, known as The Maestro. His talents extend far beyond his musical genius, and he prepares his proteges for a novel kind of serfdom, in which their skill is combined with erotic artistry to refresh the jaded palates of the wealthy clientele in The Pleasure Dome, mansion of the notorious Lady Letitia (Titty) Laycorn.

Sindi in Silk by Yolanda Celbridge

After the destruction of most of the northern world in a long-forgotten war, Madagascar survives as the most powerful country on Earth. Silk stockings become the most precious currency, which only bare-breasted noblewomen and vampire girl slaves are allowed to wear. Sindi, having been a whip-wielding mistress, herself becomes enslaved, and a smuggler of illicit stockings from Zanzibar. The prince of Madagascar is victorious in the war against his twin brother, the prince of Zanzibar - but both men fall in love with her. And when it is time for the victor to choose a princess, only the girl whose legs fit the one pair of silk stockings, from the old times, will do. It is Sindi. She becomes Whip mistress of the Islands, Princesse du Fouet, and Dame des Bas Sacres, Lady of the Sacred Stockings.

The Girlflesh Institute by Adriana Arden

Probing the lowest levels of the outwardly respectable London headquarters of Shiller plc, Vanessa Buckingham stumbles into a hidden world of twenty first century slavery. Turned into a living puppet by Shiller's enigmatic director, Vanessa is forced to record every detail of the slave-girls' lives; from intimate psychological testing at the mysterious Fellgrish Institute, through strict training and ultimate submission to the clients who hire them. In the process Vanessa must confront both her own true nature and a terrible dilemma: can there be such a thing as a willing slave? Should she expose Shiller's activities as immoral - or let herself become another commodity in its girlflesh trade?

Love Song of the Dominatrix by Cat Scarlett

Dinah is a tough-talking bisexual dominatrix with a weakness for redheads. So when she meets Grace, a beautiful hotel receptionist looking for excitement, she can't resist converting her to a life of lesbian submission. But Grace is forced to overcome her timidity and take up the whip herself when ex-boyfriend Aidan finds out about their relationship and decides to teach Mistress Dinah a lesson.

Pleasures of the Night by Sylvia Day

In the Twilight between sleep and consciousness, a battle rages between Dream Guardians and Nightmares. Captain Aidan Cross is a legend, as skilled in fulfilling erotic dreams as he is with the glaive that kills his enemies. Women see Aidan as part of their fantasies . . . except Lyssa Bates. Exquisite, desirable, enigmatic Lyssa perplexes this immortal seducer because she sees him as he really is. And as he attempts to unravel her secrets the unthinkable occurs: Aidan Cross falls in love.

Lyssa has been having the most incredible dreams about a man whose blue eyes hold the promise of decadent pleasures and tempting intimacies. And then he appears on her doorstep! This intoxicating stranger is just as irresistible as the man of her dreams . . . but with her surrender there is also grave danger . . .

Because Aidan is on a mission, and the passion that consumes them body and soul could have dire consequences. Loving the mortal woman prophesied to destroy Aidan's world is not only impossible . . it is forbidden.

Seduce Me 12 Erotic Stories by Michelle Slung

In Seduce Me, Michele Slung's first erotic anthology since her acclaimed collections Slow Hand and Fever, a dozen tantalizing stories explore the act of seduction in its infinite manifestations. Each tale, written expressly for this collection, plays with the question: What is it to be seduced?

Meet Rebecca, whose impulse visit to a piercing parlor turns unexpectedly hot; Martin, a butler whose upper lip isn't all that's stiff; Plum, a Japanese lady of pleasure with a mischievous yen for after-hours adventure; Karl, a young husband with a plan for arousing to distraction his domestic- goddess wife; and Drew, literally led down the garden path by a new neighbor. These are just a few of the lovers whose moments of seduction (and ecstasy) will leave you craving more.

Plexus by Henry Miller

The second sensational volume in the "Rosy Crucifixion" trilogy from the controversial and brilliant Henry Miller. When Henry Miller left America for Paris in the 1930s to lead the life of a literary bohemian, he called this death of his former existence and his resurrection as a writer a 'rosy crucifixion'. This dramatic transformation provided the leitmotif for some of Miller's finest writing, embodying everything he felt about self-liberation and the true life of the spirit. "Plexus", the second volume in the trilogy, tells the story of the early days of Miller's turbulent second marriage, his impoverished life in New York and his first steps towards being a writer.

2 NEW Christine Leov Lealand Fantasy Erotic Fiction Books

2008-03-28T13:21:00.000-07:00

Wicked Words Books now has 2 of Christine Leov Lealand's Erotic Fiction Books for sale, Quintessence and Avocado.

Christine Leov Lealand is a New Zealand Born Author and has written 3 erotic fiction books the last one being Astride(coming soon). Her books are published by Penguin NZ and have the unusual distinction of coming sealed with a 'Restricted to persons aged 18 & over' sticker on the front, it certainly makes them stand out on the bookshelf so is an excellent marketing ploy, one which other erotic fiction publishers could learn by. Quintessence was her first and most well known book and has sold a staggering 44000+ copies. Inventive and sexy, Christine Leov Lealand's 'full-frontal' sexual encounters bring us face-to-face with both passion and pain and push the boundaries between sexual reality and fantasy.

Quintessence

For Tiffany, Louise and their friends at the agency a world of erotic adventure is unfolding as they explore the city and their deepest desires.

'Quintessence' pushes the boundaries between sexual fantasy and reality as the five girlfriends begin their sensual journey of lustful delights.

Avocado

A delicious tropical paradise awaits Stuart upon his return from India.
He and Dawn, a local girl, immediately meet and seduce each other with sensuous food, avocados and summer lust.
But what did Stuart leave behind in India and who is the guy sending Dawn post cards from Europe?
A hot wet novel that simmers on the edge of reality - full of secrets and seductions, dreadlocks and drums...
Feel the rhythm... come closer....

An erotic novel of spirit and sensuality

Erotic Fiction Publishers An In-Depth Look Part 1

2008-03-26T12:11:00.000-07:00

Over the next week we will look at one Erotic Fiction publisher each day and go in-depth looking at the type of books they publish, their history and where their market is focused.

1. Black Lace

Black Lace is a brand published by Virgin Books that specializes in erotica and erotic romance written by women specifically for women; Black Lace does not publish novels written by men partly as a marketing scheme, partly to better appeal to their target demographic. The books explore women's sexuality as well as such themes as BDSM, group sex and bisexuality. Black Lace is considered by many to be one of the tamer brands of erotic fiction. Black Lace began publishing in 1993, has published over 250 titles and sold over three million books and publishes an average of 2 new titles every month. Recently some of the older novels have been reprinted under a new brand from Virgin Books, Cheek. One of the more popular erotic fiction brands Black Lace has had 3 styles of covers(see below). The latest covers do not feature the Black Lace brand on the front cover(it is located on the spine) which has made them harder to identify for many buyers.

We are getting some new Black Lace titles in shortly I have listed them below:

The Following Black Lace Titles will be available for sale from the 15/4/08

One Breath at a Time (Black Lace) Masters, Gwen
Lust Bites (Black Lace) Lloyd, Kristina
Templar Prize (Black Lace) Ashford, Deanna
Lured by Lust (Black Lace) Picarda, Tania
Love on the Dark Side: A Collection of Paranormal Erotica from Black Lace (Black Lace) Gordon, Lindsay
The Top of Her Game (Black Lace) Holly, Emma
Cooking Up a Storm (Black Lace) Holly, Emma
Black Lace Quickies 5: Erotic Short Stories by Women (Black Lace)

Erotic Fiction in retail stores in Australia, where we stand.

2008-03-24T12:35:00.000-07:00

Currently, in Australia Erotic Fiction is treated like some poor second cousin. Some bookstores and big chain stores have none(Angus and Robertson, K-mart, BigW), others have a comparatively small selection(Borders, Dymocks) and some have a decent selection (QBD). Now given the popularity of erotic fiction you would think it would be the opposite. Even in QBD the books are hidden away on the top shelf so are easily missed if you don't completely scan the shelves, while this is slightly understandable needing to keep them away from children it does not help the sales of these books. In Borders, which given the size of the store you would think would have a large selection to choose from, they are jammed in with the 'Romance' titles which makes finding them a long and tedious task.

There are only a few brands you can choose from as well, QBD has Nexus, Black lace, Elloras Cave, Avon Red, Brava, Cheek and Ann Summers and a couple of other odd ones. Borders has Black lace, Elloras Cave, Avon Red and Brava. Dymocks has Delta, Black lace, Elloras Cave.

There are a number of brands that are not represented at all by retail stores, Blue Moon, Silver Mink, X Libris, Chimera, Silver Moon. While some of these brands are no longer printing new titles, the older titles are still avaliable to be purchased.

So knowing all of that is there any ray of hope on the horizon? Unfortunately not. For keen lovers of erotic fiction , the internet remains the only hope for a large and diverse selection. At Wicked Words Books we are sourcing stocks of all the lesser known brands as well as a large range of titles of the popular brands. Within 1 year we aim to have over 500 titles to choose from.
