It’s been an exciting year! From flash fiction to novellas, sadism to sweetness to survival, 2018’s roundup has a lot of range. As I observed back in June, Write 1/Sub 1 (er, no, it might not be as kinky as it sounds…) is an extremely effective way to get your words down on the page and out […]

Cliterature’s 50th Issue
For their 50th issue of poetry, short fiction, and essays addressing the intersection of women’s sexuality, Cliterature has released the double-sized “Anthology“. It includes my piece, “Manifesto,” best described as a fictional essay–written in a voice that is not quite my own. Actually, the voice belongs to the heroine of my NaNo novel. But her manifesto certainly draws […]

I am so excited to contribute to Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year, Vol 3, and to contribute to the anthology’s blog tour today with some behind-the-scenes information about how and why I wrote “Fearless.” About the blog tour: Any commenters on any of these blog posts (including on editor Sacchi Green’s blog tour posts on Facebook) […]
Continue Reading....NaNo Postmortem Post (Numbers, Tips, and Plans)
In brief: I did it. 50,000 words in one month—actually, 62,006 words—were done. By me! It’s completely unexpected, and delightful, but not the golden promised land of a happy ending I…was never actually promised. Caveat: some wordcount came from revising (and expanding, and finishing) scenes I started writing last NaNo. But to make up for […]

The big day is coming, and it seems like an awesome time to try Smashwords’ new (or at least new to me) tools to create public coupons. So, starting now and running through the beginning of next year, amazing deals are on offer for my fiction featuring seductive dominant women and willing submissive men on […]

…Halloween was a full week ago? Already!? My participation in NaNo has devoured vast swathes of time, so much that I’m a little nervous to look at the calendar. But yep, there it is. As on previous Halloweens, I have a story at Circlet Press’s website. If you’re up for something delicious and unnerving, “The […]
Continue Reading....“Ripples” at Pink Litter
Today I’m at Pink Litter with a flash piece about bodies, intimacy, display, and pleasant surprises: It’s a style I’ve come to associate with her, that flattering and sometimes deeply erotic modesty. She makes an art of it. I shiver with a memory of the night she opened her door in long-sleeved, loose and low-cut pajamas with […]
Continue Reading....Write 1/Sub 1 is not only effective but addictive
If my records are correct, May 2018 was the first month in a year and a half that I did not submit a story to at least one call for submissions (the original Write 1/Sub 1 called for one story submission a week, but that seemed a little excessive). I’d found myself lagging to meet […]
Continue Reading....The Seattle Erotic Art Festival is this weekend!
From April 27th-29th, in a year when artistic erotic expression is more important than ever, a curated selection of some of the finest erotic art the world has to offer will grace the floors of the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. During regular festival hours, visitors are invited to view the art and daily entertainments, from […]

To celebrate 7 years of publishing, Pure Slush is releasing a 7-volume series about the 7 deadly sins. Lust is the first, with poetry and flash fiction by 70 different writers from around the world. My piece, “What You Want,” is about sadism, both the sexy and the scary parts. It gets to the point where you can’t […]
