The Sensual Revolution 2 - Rose is here!

Well hello all my lovely readers and how are you all today? Me I am very excited (a little nervous) but mostly thrilled.

The second book in my erotic fiction book series The Sensual Revolution is here and live all over the world.

Unlike the first book which was really and introduction, this one is a full length erotic novel, combining humor with passion, feelings and thoughts and above all else lots and lots of lovely sex! 90000 words unlike the first one which was only 30000, this one is the full length novel about Rose, mentioned in a short story in the first book.

Rose is currently bedbound after suffering a nasty car accident. The pain, boredom and frustration she feels has her escaping mentally into her sexual past to find release in the present.

This story is definitely erotic, if it was a film you would have to go to a special shop and look on the top shelf for it! People that have read it, proof read it etc all say it is brilliant and amazing and that they love it. Of course as these are my family and friends they may be a little biased, although I doubt my editor in chief is, she knows that the book needs to be perfect to sell and is usually cyper critical. Reading through this though, she laughs in all the right places, reads bit out that she loves and keeps saying, "Its brilliant, I just love this book!"

So fingers crossed the rest of the world will agree!

I have already started the first chapter of the next book entitled Lisa but over the course of the last year I have learned a valuable lesson. I am never again posting the launch date of a book until it is finished and ready to publish! I was still working on this one on Thursday evening and I had to publish it then to make sure that every amazon store had it ready by this morning. Even so, Japan doesn't have it yet, I figure that this is because their time zone is so different from ours here in the UK.

I was sincerely thrilled and flattered by the number of likes The Sensual Revolution page has already and amazed by the number of people that not only signed up for the event, but invited their friends to sign up as well!

For today, I am sitting by my laptop, knitting things to put on my Etsy shop and maybe making a couple of mosaic glass candle holders for there as well. Having a little break from writing to get the Etsy shop, and the Facebook page for Chalice of Jends sorted out ready for the pre-Christmas sales. It seems mad to be doing that in August, but as a retailers point of view, if you don't then you don't sell anything either.

Also spending some time doing the stocktake of the eBay stuff and getting that shop up and ready to go (won't post a link to it just yet as the shop isn't open at the moment, watch this space for when it is!)
as well for the same reason.

I know I can write about 3000 words in a couple of hours, so from next week I am going to try to do two hours writing every week day and spend the rest of each day and the weekends sorting out the other parts of my ever expanding business empire! Wow that sounds impressive!

In and amongst that of course will be the requisite looking after the family and housework etc!

So its a great day here at The Sensual Revolution and Chalice of Jends headquarters, the sun is shining, the books are available all over the world and Jess is just recording the video of Rose and Josh's house on the Sims 3 ready to pop them up on YouTube! Tonight we announce the competition winner and tomorrow the new competition will be launched.

It's all happening and I have so many blessings to count it is unbelievable!



Bright Blessings to you all and I hope you like reading Rose as much as I liked writing her story.

Grey Weather Blues

A bit of a contradiction in terms you think? Is the weather grey or blue? Well frankly grey right now, but to be honest I am not as bothered as usual. I have been having a staycation with my lovely fiance while the children are away with their respective fathers and it has been magnificent. Each morning I get up before him and head downstairs for coffee and networking and suchlike. Each morning I am astounded at the new amount of likers on the Facebook page!

I started an event for the launch of the first full novel in the Sensual Revolution series - Rose. Already 150+ people have signed up. It's so exciting, I just hope the book sells now as well!

So far, most of the response I have had for The Sensual Revolution has been very positive, people think it is a good idea and a thrilling read. The amount of cold showers people are reporting to me is amazing! I have been invited to become an author on Goodreads which is nice, will be looking into that today. It's all so exciting, I keep having to read back over the book, you know to check spelling and grammer and suchlike and even I love reading it!

In futher news myself and my trusty assistant and beloved daughter are thinking about starting a kindle publishing company, where we publish our own books but also help others to publish theirs. Jends Publishing, has a nice sound to it! I am not sure if you need a licence or anything though to be an advertising company so we will have to do a bit of research. Would be nice though even if we can just help a few people be successful with their e-books!

Further developements in the world of craft. Our Etsy shop has been updated and revamped and now has a lot of items on there which are proving popular. With over 100 items on and more being added each week have a little look you may be surprised at what we have on offer!

Chalice Of Jends Etsy Shop


With our longterm plan of eventually owning a smallholding in the Netherlands and helping teenagers, I have decided to learn some new crafts, ones that are fun but may be useful in our bid for self sufficiency. This year I have commited to learning weaving, pottery and mosaics. I bought all the things for the mosaics, even went and did a long beachcombing session with the other half. To my delight he has decided to also join in and start making things with mosaics that we can sell on the shop, so watch this space!

I am investing in a book about making kilns at home later in the year and starting to learn how to make pottery. I am going to get a small children's wheel to start off with and then see how I got on with that before investing in a considerably more expensive proper one! It's all very exciting though and I feel great about learning new things and making things that are either useful or pretty. I am working on a coaster for my son, who is a massive minecraft fan. So I am creating a creeper for him in greens and blacks. I hope he likes it.

So can anyone recommend any other crafts that may be useful on a small holding. I am learning cheesemaking and candlemaking and want to look at soap making as well. Next year my big plan is to invest in a spinning wheel and some fleeces and learn to spin wool which will also be a good skill for a small holder. We are also learning how to smoke and dry meat and cheese and suchlike. Its a busy time but also a really thrilling one.

It seems that if you put your mind to it, even grey days can be full of colour!

I have been a little disappointed by the response for the competition this time, but I keep telling myself that people need to get used to the whole concept for a start. I have a winner for the August competition already unless anyone else enters so that is an okay start. Once I announce that and people can see the reaction I am hoping that more people will enter the September/October one! I also have to think of an awesome prize for November/December as that is the period of time when the book competition does not run!

For now though, I am working on Rose, working on networking and about to go upstairs and finish designing the Sims house to get the first one onto YouTube. Its a lovely job when you can write about passion and then play games to promote your writing, sometimes I feel I must be the luckiest girl in the world!

Last but not least, myself and my good friend Paige Lowry have designed and created the new logo that will represent The Sensual Revolution in the future. I am looking to make both the name The Sensual Revolution and the logo protected by international copyrite law in the future but it is a bit expensive so will have to wait and see how things go. So here it is, The Sensual Revolution Logo!


Here's hoping you have a happy and passionate weekend!
