They say that espionage is the world’s second oldest profession. Seduction has always played an important part in what spies do. How do you ‘turn’ someone, get them to work for you against their country, employer or friends? There can be many motives for becoming a spy, a double agent, or sharing commercial confidences. Fear or the desire for money, revenge and of course hard, sweaty, multi-orgasmic sex, are all powerful incentives for betrayal.
The "honeytrap" is probably the oldest trick in that murky, clandestine world. The sexual seduction of a target; discovering their dirty little fantasy and giving it to them, then springing the trap shut; making them your unwilling, or perhaps willing slave!
Who is the spy? What are they looking for in a recruit and why? Who is seducing whom? Let your imagination run wild and give us exotic locations, fascinating characters, a mix of genders and sexuality as well as intense sex. This is a perfect opportunity for glamorous people, surprise twists and all of the trappings of the world of the Spook. Or surprise us with something off the wall!

Believing in the fairytale is not always easy. It requires patience, courage, faith--and a bit of whimsy. Some might say that a fantasy is just that—something that is not real, so why put too much stock in it, yet, if we do not believe in our dreams how will we ever make them come true?
On a recent trip to Wales, I had the opportunity to visit my first fairytale castle. Like a little girl, I was bubbling with anticipation to experience the fantasy of it all. Although castles were originally built to help prevent the reality of war and death, there is still something magical about they way they stand so proudly, protecting the humanity that lies within.
Castle Coch; the Red Castle, however, was built as pure folly. The Marquis of Bute, had not only the means, but also the inclination to make his fairytale a reality. Built high on a hill, the miniature version of a great castle served as a place to get away from it all. A place to take family and friends for a long weekend. A place where he could from time to time, escape reality and live his dream. Complete with cold stone hallways, twisted slippery stairways, slits to watch for the enemy, a working drawbridge and a very special dungeon room;-) it was designed true to form. Inside however, the castle is decorated with luxurious silks, carpets and furniture from the Victorian era. The best of both worlds, he blended his reality and fantasy ignoring the possible ridicule from the world around him.
Many writers of romance grew up reading about knights in shining armour sweeping them away to better world, a world where love would protect them from the conflicts of reality. It is easy to see why this was a common theme, if we had lived in the time of Knights and castle invasions, I am not sure we would have found it very romantic though. The reality was that many knights were away for long periods of time. Their lover’s waited, hoping, often in vain, their hero would return for just one more kiss.
Like the Marquis, I live the dream, but keep the conflict close as a reminder. Reality will creep in making it difficult to believe at times, but it reminds us to appreciate the incredible joy and bliss that is woven through the clouds of doubt and fear. A reminder that sometimes, the real fairytale is not about everything being the way you dreamed it would be, but about realizing that it is as it should be and that is, by far better. Our dreams are a catalyst that move us forward and often our journey takes us to places we had never imagined, but as long as we believe, the road will always lead us to where we need to be.
From the VEO Blog Tour:
When the dates were announced for this blog tour, I immediately requested Valentines Day—romantic that I am. I did not think about the fact that it was the first stop on the tour. No pressure there!
The inaugural conference of the Erotic Author’s Association was held in Las Vegas in September of 2011. My imagination racing, I wondered what would happen when a group of '‘smut writers'—myself included, got together in Sin City. The possibilities seemed endless and rather titillating. What did happen in Las Vegas? A group on wonderful, intelligent and talented people were empowered to talk about what they love to do, without any judgement. Ideas were hatched, friendships were forged and a lot of great information on the craft of writing was offered.
When Essemoh Teepee suggested an idea for an audio anthology with a companion print/ebook to support the conference, I was immediately on board. With the expertise of D.L. King to edit the print/ebook, we made a call for submissions. The premise; a voyeur watching from the penthouse of the fictional Skylane Towers hotel, describes the erotic escapades he witnesses. We received a wonderful mix of stories from a talented group of writers who were willing to share their Vegas inspiration.
On a personal level, Vegas took on a whole different atmosphere. Gone was the frenzied, cram it all in long weekends of Vegas’ past. The focus was on the activities surrounding the conference. Some highlights; A wonderful night of story telling by some great writers and, my first live reading at the Museum of Erotic Heritage. The ensuing trip back to the hotel was nearly as fun after we ‘bribed’ a Limo driver from the strip club next door, to carry ten beautiful women and one very happy man, back to the Flamingo. A beautifully dressed bride and her father sat waiting beneath the stocking clad widespread legs of the hotel sex shop, while her maid of honor fussed with her hair. Her choice of attire? Cut-off shorts and flip-flops! The closing cocktail party full of exhausted but inspired and happy writers letting down their hair and enjoying new friends was a great finale. The worst part of the conference—it was over entirely too soon!
But, Genevieve, were there any wild debaucheries taking place during the conference, you ask? Well, you will just have to listen to or read the book to find out if ’What Happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…
Today the dream becomes a reality. Voyeur Eyes Only: Vegas Windows, Erotic Encounters in Sin city is released. A big thanks to the Erotic Author’s Association, D.L. King, Xcite Books, Essemoh Teepee and all the contributors for making it happen. Available now from audible.com and Xcite Books!

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? Not anymore…High above the Las Vegas strip, at the top of Skylane Tower, the rooms come with one special amenity; a high powered telescope. When a group of erotica writers descend on Sin City for their annual conference, the voyeurs witness first hand, that some authors live by the adage, ‘write what you know’.A woman’s curiosity is piqued as she observes a beautiful stranger being bound in silky red rope. A man scouting for new sex slaves, watches as an elegant woman gets more than her hands dirty. A prostitute pulls a switch – sending her lover out on a call. A simple slip of the hand causes a case of mistaken room identity and a linen closet at a nearby hotel sees more action than all of them combined. And that is just the beginning…They say perception is reality. Is what the Voyeur sees through their spyglass just a fantasy; on which side of the lens would you like to be?
Voyeur Eyes Only is published by Xcite Books and available on Amazon now.
