Q&A: Harper Bliss on Anything She Wants

June 9, 2013 by Harper Bliss 3 Comments

Anything She WantsToday is the last day you can get Anything She Wants for free! To draw attention to this fact, I’ve decided to interview myself for my Q&A series. Prepare yourself for some multiple personality weirdness. Things could get messy.

1. Sell us your book in one sentence.
Allow me to quote from the blurb: Power play, first time encounters and office rivalry get the characters in these twelve stories so riled up, the only way to go is down and dirty.

2. Favourite line (or paragraph) from Anything She Wants
Gosh, Harper. You’re really putting me on the spot right now. You can’t possibly expect me to pick a favourite? Basically, all lines, paragraphs and stories are my favourite otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen them to be in the anthology.

3. Last book that blew you away?
The Blue Hour by Beatrice Donahue. I know Ladylit published it and I might be prone to some light bias, but we wouldn’t have published it in the first place if it hadn’t completely knocked our socks off. Beatrice Donahue’s way with words is spectacular. I read a lot of lesbian fiction, but I’ve rarely encountered something as beautifully written as this. It’s a gem and a treat and I personally guarantee that you will not be disappointed after reading it. (Note from interviewer: I’ve read it and I wasn’t.)

4. Which celebrity is at number one of your imaginary to-do list?
I’m constantly re-assessing this list. At this moment in time, it’s a tight race between Robin Wright and Gillian Anderson, but I think I’d go for Robin because I think she’d treat me better after.

5. What’s your favourite sexy song?
My Curse by The Afghan Whigs. YouTube it, you’ll understand. I’ve been obsessed with these lyrics since my teens: And slave I only use as a word to describe the special way I feel for you. (Does this betray my age?)

6. What are you most proud of?
Professionally: Becoming Harper Bliss. Founding Ladylit. Putting together this anthology. Working with a bunch of talented authors who I really admire. Personally: Being nice enough to my wife for her to have stuck with me for the past thirteen years.

7. Who’s your favourite TV character?
As I’m currently completely obsessed with The Fall, it has to be DSI Stella Gibson. She is every woman I write about when I write fem dom office stories in which the women wear designer blouses (open at the throat) and tights skirts. Icy, smart, bossy and not bashful about sex. Oh god, what am I going to do when this show ends?

8. Which author’s books are a must-read?
Kristina Lloyd’s. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: when I grow up I want to write like Kristina Lloyd. (I know what you’re going to say, Harper. Pity I’m so old already.) She’s the best. Also, she sure knows how to push boundaries. (Kristina has promised to drop by some time soon to dish the dirt on her most controversial book Asking For Trouble.)
Of course, all the books I feature on here are a must-read. So far, we’ve had Confessions of a Kinky Divorcee by Lana Fox, Girls Who Score by Ily Goyanes, Ice by Lyn Gardner and The Blue Hour by Beatrice Donahue. I also like everything Cheyenne Blue writes.

9. Anything else you want us to know?
I love my job so much, I could cry (sometimes I do.) I honestly never expected the world of erotica to be so nice. I remember the day I announced to my wife I decided to write an erotic story. She told me to go for it and here I am, a year and so many stories later. Basically, I guess what I’m trying to say is: don’t be afraid to dream!

10. What’s next for you?
Write more naughty stuff, of course. I have some ideas for themed anthologies. We’re hoping to launch an even dirtier Ladylit imprint soon, and I want to write a sexy series about a lesbian superhero. But first I’m going on holiday. I’ll be promoting Anything She Wants at Portland and San Francisco Pride! (Do say hello if you see me distributing flyers like a crazy person.)

New Release: Anything She Wants

June 7, 2013 by Harper Bliss Leave a Comment

Today is my birthday and being able to write this blog post is really all I wanted. I’m serious. Instead of sending me a message or congratulating me, you couldn’t do me a bigger favour than downloading Anything She Wants for FREE. Maybe tell your friends or your lesbian neighbour about it, but really, just downloading it is more than fine for me. I can guarantee you that it’s chockfull of lesbian hotness. Look!

Anything She Wants

In the office, on the set of a movie or on the bathroom floor, the ladies in this anthology don’t care where they get it on. Power play, first time encounters and office rivalry get the characters in these twelve stories so riled up, the only way to go is down and dirty. Tales of spanking, a wild all-female college party and a waitress with a strap-on grace the pages of Ladylit’s first multi-author lesbian erotica anthology.

Caution: Reading ‘Anything She Wants’ will make you wet!

Stories by Kay Jaybee, Laila Blake, Lucy Felthouse, Erzabet Bishop, Sarah Ellen, L.C. Spoering, Vanessa de Sade, Kelly Lawrence, Giselle Renarde, Alyssa Linn Palmer, Ariel Graham and Harper Bliss.

Here’s the introduction I wrote for it:

Where I grew up, bookstores didn’t sell lesbian erotica anthologies. It was only in my early twenties, on a trip to Paris, that I stumbled across my first one (Wet: True Lesbian Sex Stories edited by Nicole Foster) in a tiny LGBT bookshop. I haven’t stopped collecting them since. So many years ago, however, I had no idea that one day, I’d be editing my very own anthology. But… here it is.

‘Anything She Wants’ is literally all I want. It’s filled to the brim with hot lesbian tales by some of the best erotica authors out there. It makes me so proud and I’m certain it will be the first of many I edit for Ladylit.

I hope the stories in this book will thrill you as much as they have me. They will take you from the dry heat of the desert to the lush excess taking place in a university dorm room. From the intimacy of quiet living rooms to the loud surroundings of dance clubs. One story even features a Naughty Crochet class, while another results in ‘punk rock bookends’. As diverse as they are in location and characters, all twelve pieces are equally intriguing, enticing and, above all, sizzling hot.

Enjoy!

Hump Day Hook: Anything She Wants

June 5, 2013 by Harper Bliss 12 Comments

Anything She WantsLet me warn you before the madness starts. As of today, everything on my blog will revolve around Anything She Wants. 😉 The official release date is June 7th, but for this week’s Hump Day Hook I’m giving you a sneak peek at my story Alphas (which appears in Anything She Wants.)

“My office in ten?” Robin asks. She towers over the table. I follow the line of her cleavage because it’s impossible not to. It doesn’t give anything away though. Robin is all about suggestion.

“Sure.” At least I’ll have a few minutes to compose myself and check which case we’re meant to crack together.

I shuffle out of the conference room behind Robin and can’t help but inhale a whiff of her perfume. I’ve been trying to figure out which one it is—sniffing endless scented paper sticks at Sephora—but I’m a much better lawyer than I am a detective.

Nine minutes later I knock on her open door.

“Come,” she says, her voice measured and authoritative. She sits behind her desk like a queen on a throne, illuminated by light streaming from giant windows. Robin started at the firm barely a month before I did, but she’s always had a knack for securing things well above her status. My office is spacious and light, but not nearly as big and bright as Robin’s. No matter how hard I try—and sample different dry cleaners—my suits are never as crisp as hers. And my nerve always seems to crumble when I’m within three feet of her.

I sit down in a chair opposite her desk without being invited.

“Would you mind closing the door, please?” Robin’s eyes rest on me, a tight smile tugging at her lips. I know she waited for me to sit so she could ask me to get up again. It’s how alpha females like Robin assert their power—with the small things that get under people’s skin the most.

Anything She Wants

May 16, 2013 by Harper Bliss 1 Comment

Anything She WantsIt’s been quiet on my blog for a good reason. I was up to my ears in lesbian erotic short stories (which is not a bad place to be at all), reading submissions for Anything She Wants. Today, I’m very happy to present you with the cover and the list of extremely talented contributors. Some names may look familiar to F/F aficionadas out there, while others are quite new to the scene.

Here’s the list of the twelve awesome stories (in no particular order):

The Corner Chair by Laila Blake
Cliché by Kay Jaybee
Vee’s Notebook by Alyssa Linn Palmer
Loving the Lady by Lucy Felthouse
Blurring the Boundary by Sarah Ellen
Hooked by Erzabet Bishop
Steps by L.C. Spoering
The Dress by Vanessa de Sade
Debbie Does Dalhousie by Giselle Renarde
Behind Closed Doors by Kelly Lawrence
Safer Places by Ariel Graham
Alphas by Harper Bliss

I hope to release this anthology around June 7th (which is mine and Ladylit’s birthday), so I’d best get cracking. Meanwhile, I’ll just walk around incredibly excited. 😉

Deadline for ‘Anything She Wants’ submissions extended

May 3, 2013 by Harper Bliss Leave a Comment

A few people have e-mailed me to ask for a few more days to submit their story for Anything She Wants. I agreed and have extended the deadline with one week. To be fair, I’m posting it on here as well. So, if your story was almost ready, but you just missed the deadline: here’s your chance to send it to me anyway.

The new deadline is May 8, 2013. Everything else stays the same.

Dreaming of Anything She Wants

March 22, 2013 by Harper Bliss Leave a Comment

Call for submissions: Anything She Wants This one’s for the writers among you. Just a gentle reminder of my open call for Anything She Wants. The call only closes on May 1, 2013, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to jog your memories. 😉

I’ve received a few quality submissions already, but I need more, more, more… I’m a very open-minded gal and I’m not picky about subject matter, as long as the writing is stellar (opening sentences are very important!)

I lie awake at night dreaming of how smoking hot Anything She Wants can be, boasting a wild variety of girls getting it on, written in the most tantalising prose. (All right, truth be told, as soon as I close my eyes I mainly dream of cougars and Kristin Lehman, but hey, we all have our thing.)

More than anything though, I hope to be able to put together such a good collection of short stories in order for Anything She Wants to become a series, putting out a sizzling new volume every year for Ladylit‘s birthday. Hey, I like to dream.

So, please send your f/f stories my way. And if short stories are not your thing, Ladylit has a general call for submissions out as well for longer titles. We’ve signed our first author this week and we’re very excited about publishing her historic lesbian romance novelette in May.

Now excuse me while I dream on. 😉
