Coming soon to a digital device near you: RAGNAR AND JULIET 2: CONCUBINE BOOGALOO!

Bwahahahahahaa! Yes, I have sold another book!

Releasing sometime this August from Liquid Silver Books...

Sometimes the biggest risk a lady can take is not battling an evil planetary emperor with questionable taste in muttonchops, but in baring her heart to the alien she loves. And his tail.

If you’re a bounty-hunting diva with a stellar rack, what do you do when an evil despot is hell-bent on your destruction?

Stage a coup of his planet, of course.

Juliet Lawrence’s plans for defeating King Bob the Nefarious are going better than her relationship with hunky alien ship captain Ragnar Manscape. Oh, the sex is great. His pecs and their laughs are top notch. The meeting with his parents goes… somewhat worse. It’s always a bad sign when your boyfriend’s folks choose the family spider over you.

The secret Juliet’s been keeping from Ragnar doesn’t help — uncomfortable conversations about “feelings” are not her forte. Fortunately, Juliet has lots of time to plot the downfall of King Bob’s intergalactic concubine slave trade once Ragnar unceremoniously dumps her.

Can Juliet defeat King Assface with the help of her computer genius ex-boyfriend Erit, their flying toilet, and her brand new nun habit? Will Ragnar leave Juliet to the space wolves or go along with her crazy plan to topple a government using hairpins with sparkly do-dads on the end? And can Juliet really have it all while also maintaining bouncy, manageable hair? Find out in RAGNAR AND JULIET 2: CONCUBINE BOOGALOO.


If you’re saying to yourself, what the hell is a RAGNAR AND JULIET (1)? It’s a book I wrote, see, available all over!

Hark, I Have a New Book Coming Out!

This summer, my first full-length contemporary rom-com THE DIMPLE OF DOOM will release in print and digital from Total-e-Bound books!

This book is very close to my heart for its heroine, who starts the book pretty much as a loser grappling with where failure has taken her. (I can relate, ahem.) Pizza Rolls and box wine are a fine way of life… but adventure with a hot anti-hero is always better.

Here’s the blurb~

THE DIMPLE OF DOOM by Lucy Woodhull

It may sound like common sense, but never hump an art thief. Turns out, Samantha Lytton’s Common-Sense-O-Meter is super duper broken.

Failed actress Samantha Lytton is getting along just fine in her lonely little life when a charming criminal called Sam or Nate or maybe even Richmond kisses her, square dances most provocatively, opens his not-so-wicked heart, and gets her in trouble with not one, but two international art theft rings as well as the LAPD.

She’s either gonna end up in jail or famous. Maybe both.

Along the way, she fights for her life and falls for this funny, sexy disaster of a man… and learns that finding happily-ever-after with yourself is the first step to real contentment. A cute dimple is just the second.


Squuuueeeeeeee!

I'm All Up In Your Internets, Just Giving It Away for Free

What a hussy I am!

I've been promoing THE DIMPLE OF DOOM all over the place. (Read all about it here!)

The Dimple of Doom

First up -- IT'S ONLY A BUCK! Yup, you, too, can obtain a book that's "utterly un-put-downable" for $1 at Amazon, AllRomance, and Total-E-Bound.

I have an interview up at Female First UK. This was fun for me, as I got to talk about how to balance the funny and sensual in the same book, often in the same scene.

You can enter to win a copy of TDOD on Marta Acosta's blog, wherein I compare the evilness of facial features.

Lastly, I am wearing some seriously sexy leopard-print Mary Jane pumps today. Just thought you should know.

Can't wait until Dec. 20th to read the latest adventure with Samantha Lytton? Well, guess what? You can early download THE DIMPLE STRIKES BACK, sequel to THE DIMPLE OF DOOM today at my publisher Totally Bound!

Here's the blurb!

The Dimple Strikes Back
by Lucy Woodhull

If you can't beat them, join them… and then beat them.

Samantha Lytton, foiler of evildoers and roller-skate enthusiast, is back! What has she been up to since the events of THE DIMPLE OF DOOM? No big whoop—just being a movie star.

Samantha has just arrived in London to film her first leading role. Sam, would-be Picasso thief and lover, joins her to rev up her engine in the bad-boy way only he can. Life is full of sexy good times, money, and prestige galore! What could go wrong?

Ha ha—everything.

After a kidnapping attempt, Sam nobly dumps Samantha for her own good, the jerk. No matter, for Samantha is a successful woman of the world now and (after only spending one day lying on the floor and sobbing on her cheeseburgers) she jumps back into actress-mode with her sexy co-star Daniel Zhang. Hot movie star = best rebound ever. She barely even thinks about what's-his-name—until his evil ex-girlfriend shows up and gives Samantha an ultimatum she just can't refuse: steal a priceless artefact from the museum or die.

Is Sam in cahoots with the wicked ex? Can Samantha rob a museum and film a movie simultaneously? And why isn't a lady allowed to marry both a gorgeous Oscar-winner and an equally alluring criminal?

It's a book giveaway!

I've stopped by RR@H Novel Thoughts to giveaway digital copies of both THE DIMPLE OF DOOM and THE DIMPLE STRIKES BACK!

I'm discussing my less-than-lofty New Year's resolutions, which involve being lazier and teaching the cat how to use the dishwasher. It's fascinating stuff, really, so you should totally go read it.
