A Special Past, Present and Future Interview with Lucy Felthouse

What was your highlight of 2011?

Aside from the publications I had (each and every one is a highlight), I would probably say Erotica, in London. It was brilliant because so many of my author buddies (and their partners) were able to attend and we had tons of fun! I also got to meet the creator of this very website in person for the very first time!

Any regrets from 2011?

Not really, I think I had a pretty good year, all in all. I’d have liked to have written more, but I think no matter how much I write, I’ll always wish I could write more.

What was your most worn clothes in 2011?

Ha! I work from home, so scruffy, comfortable clothes are the way forward. 2012 looks to be much the same, especially since I just got a puppy so my scruffy clothes are now also covered in fur and little pawprints!

What’s the story behind your latest release?

My latest release, Susie White and the Right Hand Man, stems from my enormous crush on Chris Hemsworth, which started when I saw Thor at the cinema, last year. Having discovered His Hotness, I was delighted when he was cast as the Huntsman, in upcoming film Snow White and the Huntsman. That then gave me the necessary inspiration to pen a retelling of Snow White and the Huntsman, with the male lead bearing a striking resemblance to Chris Hemsworth as Thor. In fact, that’s the information I gave to the cover artist – can you tell? ;)

What are the last 10 words you wrote on your current WIP?

I am a very bad girl, I’m afraid. The least ten words I wrote on a story is one I’ve submitted for publication, so I’m not sharing them in case it gets accepted and then I ruin the ending for you!

What’s the last thing you ate?

Frosted Flakes and milk for my breakfast.

Any plans to tackle a new genre?

Yes, I’d really like to publish some m/m stuff this year. I have plenty of ideas, I just need time to get them all onto paper – or laptop screen, anyway.

Do you have anything “Coming Soon”?

I do. I have an f/f erotic romance coming at the end of February from Resplendence Publishing. It’s called The Cottage in the Woods, and here’s the blurb:

The Cottage in the Woods
Living in her remote cottage in the woods, Heidi doesn’t get many visitors. So when she spots a fox in her garden, she’s delighted. However, her joy quickly turns to dismay when she thinks the beautiful creature may be injured. Heading out to see how she can help, Heidi is astounded when something happens that makes her question her eyesight – not to mention her sanity. Once she gets over her shock and discovers the reason behind the peculiar encounter, Heidi is mighty glad that the fox chose her garden to visit.

Going anywhere nice in 2012?

Yup! I have a trip to Rome booked with the other half and his parents. I can’t wait to see if I’ll fall in love with Rome like I have Paris… ;) I’ll also be taking various camping trips within the UK, and hopefully by the time the weather’s good enough, my new puppy will also be good enough to come with us! A few destinations we have in mind are the Lake District, Northumberland and North Yorkshire. I can’t wait!
