The Silver Collar Out Tomorrow in USA

(X post from my main blog at http://mathildemadden.wordpress.com

If you want to leave a comment to be entered in the competition to win a copy - go on!- please do it over there and make my life easy. Ta.)

The Silver Collar is out on Tuesday in the US, so this seems like a good time to boast about the exciting reviews I've been having.

Smutty UK mag Forum took a break from titty girls to say this:

Iris is a kick-ass werewolf hunter and member of the 'Vix', a team of specially trained supernatural lycanthrope killers. After witnessing her twin brother's death at the hands of an enormous alpha werewolf 11 years previously, her sole pursuit in life is tracking down and extinguishing every last wolf until she finds 'the beast' and avenges his death (...)

But her quest is not an easy one because the night her brother was killed her boyfriend Alfie was alos attacked but managed to escape, thus turning him into one of the beasts she seeks to kill. Iris banished Alfie from Oxford (...), but one dark night she finds herself faced with a very familiar wolf (...)

Alfie has started to struggle with his shape-shifting form and makes unexpected changes when the moon isn't full, which is compounded by the fact that orgasms trigger off transformations and he's horny was hell (...)He's back in town in search of the silver collar, which will prevent him from turning, but it's currently in the possession of Blake, Iris's slightly eccentric estranged husband and fellow werewolf hunter (...)

Iris is torn between her job, her mission to destroy the beast and her magnetic attraction to the man she's always loved. With just the right measure of action, thrills and steamy sex The Silver Collar is grippingly clever original and funny too, making it an un-put-down-able read.

Meanwhile Ashely Lister over at the Erotica Readers Association, had this to say:

The Silver Collar is an erotic romance. Granted, the presence of werewolves within the narrative means it's a supernatural erotic romance but this story puts the super in supernatural and the focus is very keenly set on the erotic romance of the story.

The prologue opens eleven years ago, with a young Iris attendant on a risqué outdoor photo shoot with her brother and boyfriend. Disquietingly, there's a full moon. But Iris, her brother Matt and boyfriend Alfie, are all untroubled by this element. Matt's main worries revolve around the "classy" photographs he wants of a near-naked Alfie. Alfie is struggling to win Iris's affections. And Iris is lustily looking forward to seeing Alfie in some of the raunchier poses her brother has planned for the evening.

The evening ends badly. Matt loses his life. Alfie loses his humanity. And Iris loses a brother and a boyfriend. There are only two good things to come out of the evening: Iris gains a vocation as a werewolf hunter, and we get the opening prologue for a sensational trilogy of supernatural erotic romances.

I'm not going to say anything more about the story. Mathilde Madden is a respected author of erotic fiction – and deservedly so. The horror element, necessary for any supernatural tale, is eloquent and doesn't intrude on the erotic or romantic developments. The romance is impossible, and therefore compelling as the couple get closer and are then pulled apart by cruel circumstances. The erotic twists and turns are powerful, passionate and truly exciting.

The Silver Collar is the first of a trilogy – to be followed by The Silver Crown and The Silver Cage. Iris and Alfie's turbulent relationship has opened to a resounding start that ticks every box a reader could want from a supernatural erotic romance.

Stories of this calibre don't come around with every full moon.

Well, that's all quite good. To celebrate the teetering pile of author copies of The Silver Collar over in the corner of my living room I shall be giving away a couple of copies to a couple of commenters. Just say hi.

New Blog

2007-05-30T14:31:02Z

I'm having the summer off from blogging!

In Sep I'll drop a post here to tell you all about my spanking new blog which will be counting down to the werewolf books. (One of the reasons for the blogging break is to make sure I write the damn werewolf books).

I'm keeping this account for reading and commenting, but it is not really public or the blog of Mathilde Madden anymore.

Thank you.

I'll let you know when I have a new blog up and running.

Doing rewites on WB1 and finsihed WB2 and getting reading for Phoenix Rising so won't be instant.

There probably aren't many other people right now who, because they have just gone from writing some werewolf novel into writing some BDSM-lite are having to remind themselve to type 'sir' and not 'sire' every damn time.

But this is my writing problem of the day. Well, so far, it is only 10.30.

Well apparently this has been news since Spetember, but even so, seriously.

News like this really deserves its own icon.

Just keep writing. Stop thinking about the fact that it's crap. Stop thinking about the woolly character definition. Stop thinking.

Just keep writing.

"I'm a celebrity, get me out of here." Is too bloody good. "Celebrity Survivor" as it is also dubbed is a show where a bunch of really minor celebs are dumped in the jungle and we viewers get to vote for which one of them has to do horrid chores to earn food.

'S wonderful.

But that's not all. The autumn schedules contain a couple of jewels. The BBC is touting one new drama as a female Queer as Folk. The synopisis sounds nothing of the sort, but it does feature old fashioned male impersonators, mmm, my favourite.

ITV is delighting me with the promise of a modern day, gender switched Wuthering Heights. How can that fail?

There is a reason why the space bar is so big

2002-08-12T11:40:02Z

It's because you are supposed to hit it occasionally.

How can people not know that if they write a really long (and therefore made up) word without a space in it it fucks up the friends page of everyone who has them as a friend so they have to scroll to read th entries by their other friends, who are prolly using real words.

And if you do it on a comment it fucks up everyone else's comments too in the same way.

So next time you are tempted to express yourself in such a way.

Stop.

Breathe.

Think.

Less is more.

For everyone who has missed my endless wittering on about my unrequited love for Darius

I can't believe I dint mention this earlier, but Darius is number one!

It just keeps getting better and better.

You know what? They've relaunched those books. You know those advernture game books where you fight the monsters with dice and stuff ('cept I always cheat and make sure I win the fights).

My baby and I always look out for old copies of these books at boot sales and such, we both used to play them as kiddies (hell, they were a sensation, every kiddy played them--my Sunday school even denounced them). And whenever we got our paws on these out of print goodies we would climb into bed during the afternoon and play and play until we had returned the Crown of Kings to the good people of Allansia, or whatnot.

Yes, I'm kind of surprised we managed to procreate too, that being our idea of bedroom entertainment at its finest.

Okay, these being kids books, they do need a bit of jazzing up. I already mentioned my cheating, which has now reached the point where I can play completely die-less (there is no point in dice if you always cheat. Test your Luck? Well I'm a pretty lucky girl. I am also the queen of just happening to leave your finger in the page of the last ref) And I do frilly up the text with lots of references to dwarf whores and elf orgies.

Anyway so in the bookshop today we see with glee that the books are relauched. In special editions with lots of silver embossing. And along with the "classics" we'd played to death, including Citadel of Chaos featuring my prepubescent love idol Balthus Dire, there was one we hadn't seen.

So we snapped it up.

So here I am with a new shiny adventure game book. And am I playing it? Clearly not. I am writing in my lj. And why? My baby is sick. He has bad stomach pains and has banned me from playing without him (as if I could, who'd do the map)

This is torture. Has anyone got any peptol bismol?

Must....play...now....

A lovely little thing from today's Popbitch (i'm not sure that Johnny's name is spelt right though):

Many years ago, while appearing on Broadway Gielgud was in a yellow cab on the way to the theatre. It had been raining so he was carrying an umbrella. After exchanging pleasantries with the driver, Gielgud was dropped off and made his way to the stage door.

A few paces away from the cab he was surprised by the previously friendly driver screaming "Ya fuckin fairy, yo forgot yo fuckin wand!".

Gielgud calmly walked back to the cab,collected his brolly, tapped the driver on the head and said 'Turn to shit'.

I am in such a bad mood

Sulking

2002-06-20T11:34:42Z

I don’t know what is wrong with me. I should be bubbling over with happy hormones but I’m just a miserable bitch. I can’t even be bothered to write this entry, let alone anything else. I will have to resort to the salient bullet points of the day.

1) Is Rowan “what’s happened to my career” Atkinson in that Scooby Doo film?

2) Has David Bowie had a nose job, cause it bloody well looks like it from here (benefit of the doubt tho, could be drug related)

3) Is it me or is the camera “Colin Creevy” is using in CoS promo pics clearly circa 1952 with a fucking huge flash bulb thingy the size of his over sized head (“Hey Colin, I doubt you even need a flash on that over lit film set”). Why is an 11 year old child using a museum piece camera in 1992? I thought he was supposed to be keen on photography. Fucking load of over romanticised fucking bollocks.

Reasons to be miserable: 1, 2, 3...

1) I don't think we can beat Brazil. We're just *not* *that* *good*. Of course we'll try. We'll rush in, all plucky and that. But we haven't got the bloody where with all. Even *I* know that and I only follow football once every four years. I mean fuck's sake. It's Brazil. Fuck.

2) Alex is up against Spencer in Big Brother. Alex I would swear could beat anyone but bloody Spencer. The bloody favourite from day one. Which means Alex (and England) will be out on Friday and everythign will suck giant sized cocks in hell

3) I have a piece of cotton wool sellotaped over my vein in my arm

God I'm such a miserable cow these days.

Sometimes, before I catch up with my friends lj entries, I scan down the page looking for mentions of my name.

And if I don't find any, sometimes I sulk (a bit)

"Nothing Really Matters"

Why do people tell me what music they are listening to when they write their lj?

Okay, obvious answer--because there is a slot on the posty thing to fill it out and say so. But why?

Am I supposed to read the song title and hum it to myself, perhaps imagining the person themselves sitting in a beautiful but dishevelled attic room somewhere typing their thoughts and listening to music in bohemian reverie?

Well I don't want to.

I don't want to know what you are listening to because it makes you too real. You are internet people. You have texty for voices and lj icons for faces and you do not exist outside lj's ML's and AIM.

Don't argue and say you are real. You're not.

And besides the music thing is too much pressure. It makes me feel like before I write in my lj I should sit down and carefully select and eclectic, beautiful and personality defining tune that I can just happen to be listening to as I type.

Unless...

Okay, todays question. Have you ever lied when sharing your current music with the world and replaced your true tune of choice with something a little cooler? I'm sure no one here would outright *lie*, but just maybe you thought that the tune you were listening to half an hour ago would fit in much better than the god awful squall coming out of your radio as you type

There is this teen soap opera called Hollyoaks. And the fact I even watch it is shocking enough, but pretty people are pretty people.

Anyway one of my favourite characters had a road accident and is now in a wheelchair. And now he's all angsty, going around whining: "who will ever fancy me now I am in a wheelchair"

Doesn't he realise?

Doesn't he realise that a young attractive man in a wheelchair is just so sexy it's stupid. I mean, he can't walk or anything. It's soooo sexy.

Damn.

I think I'd better go lie down now.

After a long chat, sorry, *investigation* with Dee I can reveal the following need to know, hot Dee facts.

1. Dee likes to look at "gross bugs" in the hope of making herself immune to their grossness

2. She attempts to do the same with Elijah Wood by staring at his face and particularly his "gross hair"

3. Grapes taste "gross"

4. Fruit juice is acceptable but fruit puree is not. (It is, quite possibly "gross")

5. Dried fruit is, yes, "gross". (But we *all* knew that)

(more Dee tribute posts coming soon)
