Also: I’ll let my Twitter speak for itself as this has been a wild week (mostly vaccinated family members from across the country got to finally meet in person, minor car accident, sporadic internet access, unexpected deadlines). đ

One year
So yeah, itâs one year to the day. This morning while my coffee brewed I lit some candles, re-arranged my girlfriend’s urn and picture and pennies on my bookshelf. Last night I had a dream we were texting each other and he was okay, heâd just withdrawn for a while. Iâm not great about big […]
Continue Reading....Proud Editor Moment – the Good Sex Awards
I texted my sister last night, “Just had a panel of like 25 sexperts agree with my editorial decisions twice. (Two stories from Erato are Good Sex Award finalists.) Feels great!” And it does. I’m actually not sure of the number of sexperts involved–the Good Sex Awards has an awe-inspiring list of judges, some of […]

At Lascivity, with its delicious tagline “literate kink,” I have a new story up. It’s one that does a few things…different from my usual. A fun experiment. Sheâs taken a week of paid time off for this. To stay at home. With him. Doing practically nothing. Wearing nothing. Itâs the third day, early afternoon. Sunlight […]
Continue Reading....National Poetry Month
April is National Poetry Month, so I’m going to pretend that’s the reason I’ve lately been reading and posting a lot of poetry on my Tumblr. Actually it’s a happy coincidence. I’ve rediscovered poetry, as I do every few years, and this spring I’m making more of an effort to share about the books I […]

For reasons that require (I hope) no explanation, I’ve been reading a lot about sex lately. All kinds of things–poetry, feminist criticism, Medium articles of sex tips, and articles about consent and building a consent culture. Lately I discovered this older but perennial “Top Ten Party Commandments” from…well, not actually from Playboy. The site is […]

I write this post with a heavy heart. The Literary Review reports that its would-be judges of the Bad Sex in Fiction Award 2020 have decided, after difficult deliberation, to cancel the prize for this year. Their rationale: “The judges felt that the public had been subjected to too many bad things this year to justify […]
