My last post was really made around Valentine’s Day and spoke about being true to yourself and maybe finding someone you can be true to yourself with? It IS worth finding. And turned out somewhat easier to find than I had feared. And my sister (a wonderful wingwoman) is feeling justified as hell in getting […]

Love and Love and Love…
Happy belated Valentine’s Day, whoever you spent it with. Including and especially to those who spent it alone, as I did–not the worst of company! And not just because it means there’s no need to share the pile of chocolate assortments I got on discount the 15th of February. ;D Without digging too much into […]
Continue Reading....Escape to Pleasure
Even though it’s been a winter with eerily little snow, it’s still winter. It’s gray, it’s cold, the kind slices like a knife. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be anywhere but where I am. Since, because of travesties like “work” and other “adult responsibilities,” I can’t pack up a suitcase and follow […]
Continue Reading....2018 Year in Review
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 […]
Continue Reading....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) […]

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 […]
Continue Reading....How Terrifying
…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 […]

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 […]
