NaNo: I’m trying a milder version where instead of trying to write 1,667 words per day for 30 days, I aim to write 500 words per day throughout November and maybe December. I’ve picked up the 2 different novels I worked on that time back in–gosh, was it 2018?–when I won NaNo; maybe I’ll finish […]

Tender Things: Stories about Dominant Women
A baker’s dozen of short stories about women who like to command, take what they want, and leave marks on their lucky, eager partners. Contents include: wrestling, pegging, bondage (including a science fiction exploration of zero-g bondage), sadism, slapping, frottage, ice and sensory play, and as a bonus, an instance of topping from the bottom. From […]

Tender Things is on presale at Smashwords for the next two weeks, until November 3, 2021. Part of the presale is an “incentive price” of 30%+ off the ebook if you sign up for my newsletter. To whet your appetite, here’s an excerpt from the second story in the collection, “Breakfast Time”: She looks up from scrolling the […]

“Tell you the truth? About what?”“Not the truth. A truth. Tell me something true about yourself. Something I don’t know.”“Truth?”“Truth.”“I hated you in high school.”That got her attention.We lay together atop the bedspread, not really doing anything, our fingers intwined. I had been looking up at the popcorn ceiling and thinking of nothing in particular, […]
Continue Reading....Proofreading
Yes, I did dress up to proofread my partner’s book. It was a special occasion. I didn’t pause to take a picture of all the sticky notes I added with formatting suggestions to myself. But here’s the initial version of the back cover: And some typos aside, the inside looks pretty good, if I say […]
Continue Reading....Well, pegging is having a cultural moment…
For some reason, my romantic honeymoon first-time pegging story To Have and To Hold has sold multiple copies on Amazon this month after having a relatively quiet year. I wish I knew what’s gone right, because I don’t think it’s anything I’m responsible for. I can’t find evidence of someone else reviewing or linking to […]
Continue Reading....A rotisserie of knifeplay
I never thought of myself as a Halloween girl, not like some Halloween folks I know, but I have always been into ghost stories and uncanny magic. Now six of my stories on those topics are collected in The Season, which comes out October 1. (But if you’re already in a Halloween mood, you can […]

Canva.com and Unsplash are miracles of the modern age. Plus, frankly, really fun to play with. Maybe a little addictive? Here are some almost-final drafts of covers I’ve designed for the books I’m releasing and re-releasing over the next few months (the Muse has inspired me to get publishing again with that expensive auto repair): […]
Continue Reading....A thrilling week: three broken things, four story collections, 350 miles and a submissions deadline
Some of the thrills were great, some…less so. The last week of submissions for Cunning Linguists saw an outpouring of some fantastic smut. My co-editors and I are still reading through it. If you submitted, you SHOULD have received a “Thank you, we received it!” kind of response from us. If you didn’t, please query. […]
Continue Reading....“Exceptional Service” in Coming Soon
In most of my favorite stories [in Coming Soon], orgasm is just one stop on a delicious sexual journey. In particular, I loved “Exceptional Service” by T.C. Mill, a… threesome tale with a touch of femdom that really captured (for me) the thrill of erotic surrender. –Lisbet Sarai The excerpt: “Can I kiss you…ma’am?” “There’s […]
