So it probably won’t take long to spot what I needed to change first after opening the Soft, Sharp, and Tender proof. Before even opening it, actually. But! It’s now available (with updated spine text) and looking pretty good if I say so myself. I’m so excited in part because this short story collection omnibus […]

2021 in review
For those of you blinking in startlement at another 12 months come and gone, solidarity. I don’t know if it’ll help any of us make peace with the passage of time, but this roundup of my works published over the past year might at least give you something sexy and warming to read as we […]
Continue Reading....A rapidfire update on what’s been happening
NaNo: To my chagrin, I realize momentum is a real thing–once I started writing, I wrote! Easily! Copiously! But I only wrote for about half the days in November, because of various other demands on my time, brain energy, etc. Still, I wrote over 1,000 words on almost every day I did write, and on […]
Continue Reading....A rapidfire update on what’s happening
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 […]
Continue Reading....Femdom presale through November 3
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 […]
Continue Reading....“Tell me a truth.”
“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 […]
Continue Reading....Can’t stop, won’t stop making cover art
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): […]
