Hi everyone!
I’m so happy to be here on Books-n-Kisses today because I have something exciting to tell you.
First, I want to thank Kelly for letting me take over her blog today so I could make my announcement. Thank you, Kelly (hug)
I’d like to let everyone know I SOLD my erotic novella, NUMBER 69, to Breathless Press! I think that calls for a group happy dance, don’t you?
To celebrate, I’m giving away some goodies to one lucky commenter (US
Since I’ve only just signed my contract, I don’t have a book cover or a release date yet, but I do have an unofficial blurb:
A matchmaking party was not Melodie’s idea of fun and wearing vibrating panties to boot was just plain weird. Or was it?
Should she go to the party? After all, she just might meet Mr. Right. And if he doesn’t show, she has the vibrating panties to keep things interesting.
I’m very exciting about NUMBER 69 and I can’t wait to see what the artists at Breathless Press come up with for a cover.
Now, be sure to leave a comment along with your email address in order to enter the drawing. I’ll be choosing a name later tonight using random.org and will contact the winner tomorrow.
Let’s have a bit of fun: have you ever been to an adult store? I’ve never been in an actual brick-and-mortar store, but I have looked around at various online adult stores. Some are female friendly (that’s important to me) and informative while others are not so much. What has been your experience, and do you prefer to shop online or do you prefer to shop at your local adult store?
xoxo,
Casey

Some time ago I visited an adult store. It was awfully seedy. I felt defiled. Online is the way to go I think.

I have but it's been a while since i've been to one. i dont prefer to go if i dont have too although the stores here arent as bad as the ones back home. i had a bad experience at the one back home so i'm glad the ones here arent as bad.

Have you ever been to an adult store?
Yes. I have been to an adult store numerous times. I have purchased some toys and clothing. I prefer to shop on line for all the toys that I like. Its more discreet and they have a verity of items that you can choose for your liking.

Hi! Congrats on signing the contract! 🙂
Well, I've never been to an adult store yet – if I went to one, I'm sure my face would be dark red all day :). But I've visited an online store once, just out of curiosity, and well… my boyfriend caught me staring at those toys xD He was totally okay with it, but I couldn't stop blushing xD And since then, I haven't visited any adult store 🙂

Yay for you, I hope to read it and review it.
I have been into an adult store but I don't care to go into them that much after my last ordeal. It was ran by to older men and while I was with friends in the store these older men just starred, I mean scarry stare, there eyes did not leave us and at one time it was gross as one starting making gestures to my female companions in the store. We decided to leave, but the experience of seeing all the wonderful little items was a hoot and daring might I add, but the dirty looking older two men behind the counter turned our stomachs, so I feel better along with friends to look and shop on line.
congrats again.

Thanks ladies for stopping by! All of you have such fun comments.
Voljalyn, I did the same thing the first time I went to an online adult store. I think I had a perpetual blush for a week straight.
=)
Oh, congratulations! That's good news. You know, I had to stop and think, but I don't think I ever have been to an adult store. I've cruised the adult section of video stores (remember video stores?), but these days, I prefer to shop online, because then I just get the few things I need and I don't get distracted by miscellaneous stuff and wind up buying things I don't need.

I have! My cousin took me to one about 15 years ago. I wanted to give a coworker an blow up sheep (I won't go into detail!) but it cost $50!
So I was forced to give him an extra wide roll of toiler paper (again, I won't go into detail!)
Thanks,

Congrats! Yes i have been in an adult store. My husband and I go about once a year. The one we go to is very clean and you don't have someone standing over you shoulder. It's nice to add a little spice every now and then. Thanks for the giveaway.

Wow that is big news and I'm so happy for you! A friend of mine use to do sex parties and I was her first customer! I bought a Silver Bullet lol! After a while she opened an Adult store and I use to go there all the time! Sadly she moved and had to close the store so now I have to shop on-line 🙂 I can't wait till your book #69 is released so I can read more about those vibrating panties lol

You DEFINITELY should be doing a happy dance!!! Congrats on the book! Can't wait for the announcement when it will be released! I have been in an adult store many times; about once or twice a year with hubby (hey, gotta keep stuff exciting) but I do prefer to shop online cuz it is kinda uncomfy going into the store, although the store isn't sleazy at all.

Congrats to you on selling Number 69. How excited am I to read more about vibrating panties? Well, I'll just say that I am.*laughs*
I have been to an adult store, it didn't bother me at all. If anything I was pretty loud and giggly about some things, so shoot me. Now I can't stop laughing at myself, oh well. Online is easier, but if you really want the 'feel' of something, you better head to the store.
Thank you for the chance at the prize pack!

I have been in an adult store before with a friend but it was a while ago. I think I prefer online shopping instead. Congrats! Thanks for the chance.

Wow! Thanks for all the comments and sharing your experiences.
Booklover0226 – I think the blow up sheep sounds hilarious.
I was in a actual store one time (totally embarrassed). My face was so red and I could not make eye contact with the cashier at all, lol. I definitely prefer online shopping because I am very shy!
Congrats on the new book! Can't wait to read more about those vibrating panties.

Omg! Have I ever!! Best experience was my first time in one. Came across what had to be a 4' long (yes 4 feet) double ended dildo. It was great!
I blushed plenty and my friend who came in with me couldn't stop laughing.
Congrats on the contract darlin! Well deserved and I can't wait to read it. 😉

CONGRATS on getting NUMBER 69 sold!!! Can't wait to read it!
I've only be to an adult store twice when I came of age. That was fairly awkward because I went with some friends who weren't shy when maybe they should have been:) Since then I haven't been in one or shopped online… not that I would mind doing either, I just haven't done it or gone back.

Yes, I've been to an adult store, probably a couple of times, a long time ago. I think I'd prefer shopping on-line!

CONGRATS!!!! *happy dance happy dance booty shake* love the title…now im definately looking forward to reading it. I have been to an adult store a few times. the first ime i was reserved yet enthralled by what i saw…the second time was after we went to a few strip clubs with guys and we even got a lap dance…there was one as we were walking to the next strip club so we stepped in i saw this like real life looking ass and vagina and i held it up and said loudly do you think this feels like the real deal then went to looking at vibrators and what not.
thanks so much.
