I am happy to cede the blog to Lucy Felthouse who is here today to tell you ablout her new anthology project Seducing the Myth which contains more than two dozens of steamy mythological retellings or myth inspired erotic short stories. As a big dan of mythology and legends I was intrigued and curious to hear more about this project. Read on to discover Lucy’s take on myths and to get a first taste of the anthology!

 
 
One of the suggestions I was given when I organised this guest spot (thanks so much for having me here, by the way!) was to talk about my favourite type of mythology. Now, that’s actually not quite as straightforward as it sounds. The reason being, I don’t really have a favourite type. Ever since I was a small child I’ve loved stories of all kinds; true ones, fictional ones, old ones, new ones… I’m just a sucker …

Attention, all girls reading this:

We get it. The message is coming through loud and clear: You think vampires are hot. Your little sister thinks vampires are hot. Your mom thinks vampires are hot. Every single female on the face of the earth thinks vampires are hot. Girls love vampires, and I love girls. Unfortunately, girls don’t seem to love me.

So I’m making a change. For all the guys reading this, say a little prayer to the high school dating gods for me. Here’s hoping that girls think fake vampires are hot, too.

My Thoughts:

Bloodthirsty was a non-stop laugh for me, purely because it was so true.

Finbar is for want …

It was meant to be a one-night stand. One night of passion. Scorching hot. Then Beth Cantrell and Eric Donovan were supposed to go their separate ways. That’s the only reason he lied about his name, telling her he was really his wild younger brother. Hiding his own identity as the conservative Donovan. The “good” one. 

But passion has its own logic, and Eric finds he cannot forget the sable-haired beauty with whom he shared one night of passion. When Beth discovers that Eric has lied, however, she knows he cannot be trusted. …
