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. […]

“Coming Soon” is no longer coming: it’s here!
Today is the release day for Coming Soon, which includes my femdom menage story, “Exceptional Service.” This piece was cooked up after dinner with my partner at a rather nice establishment with a waitress who was attentive enough…but mostly to him. And she did that thing many waitstaff do, giving my credit card back…to him. Presumably because he […]
Continue Reading....Some exciting Erato updates
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). 😀
Continue Reading....One year
So yeah, it’s 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 Last night I had a dream we were texting each other and he was okay, he’d just withdrawn for a while. I’m 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 […]
Continue Reading....A new kinky story is free to read on Lascivity
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. She’s taken a week of paid time off for this. To stay at home. With him. Doing practically nothing. Wearing nothing. It’s 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 […]
Continue Reading....Partying with [not] Playboy, writing with BARE magazine
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 […]
Continue Reading....A Sexy Sixth Anniversary
It’s almost hard to believe, but the first two NSP anthologies came out six years ago today, on 23 March 2015. If you haven’t had the chance to read them yet, you’re in luck–we’re celebrating with a special coupon code offering. For the next two weeks (from 23 March 2021 to 6 April 2021), you […]
Continue Reading....New anthology call for language, literature, and lechery
Cunning Linguists will collect 20 to 30 pieces of diverse, feminist, body-positive erotica exploring the seductive potential of: Literature— Reading a sexy story to yourself, or to a lover. Writing a sexy story for yourself, or for a lover, or for a friend. Reading a story that wasn’t intended to be sexy but, well, it […]
